As soon as Xiang Shoushi saw Wang Tianwang, he asked immediately before he even sat down on the chair:

"Stationmaster, why are you calling me here so urgently? What happened?"

Wang Tianwang frowned and said:

"The situation has changed a bit. Lao Chu came here just now. He said that Wang Jingwei will inspect No. 76 the day after tomorrow morning, and the news you received is that Wang Jingwei will inspect No. 76 tomorrow afternoon.

One of these two pieces of news is definitely fake news, which makes our actions difficult. What do you think? "

Xiang Shoushi was a little surprised. This was indeed a bit tricky. The order for the action had already been conveyed, but suddenly this happened and he couldn't judge for a while.

He thought for a moment and asked:

"Stationmaster, when did you get Lao Chu's information? Is his source of information reliable?"

"According to Lao Chu, his people got the information this morning. I can't tell you where his information came from, but Lao Chu believes that this information should be reliable."

Of course, Wang Tianwang would not tell him that the information was obtained by Yuan Ye. The bureau chief had repeatedly reminded him that Yuan Ye's identity was top secret and must not be known to anyone.

Even if the director didn't say it, he knew the importance of Yuan Ye's identity. It was very important not only to the Military Control Commission, but also to him personally.

Xiang Shoushi did not expect Wang Tianwang to reveal the source of the information to him. He knew that the stationmaster was a very cautious person, and unless he took the initiative to tell you, it would be impossible to get the information from him.

Although deep down, he really wanted to know the source of this information.

Xiang Shoushi said:

“Although I cannot judge whether Lao Chu’s intelligence is reliable, judging from the time he obtained this intelligence, it is obviously earlier than the time when my insider obtained the intelligence.

My people were picked up at No. 76 at three o'clock in the afternoon. No. 76 has already started making welcoming and security arrangements for tomorrow, and has informed the team leader, so there should be no leave.

Lao Chu believes that his intelligence is correct, so I think it is very likely that Wang Jingwei's inspection time was temporarily changed and moved forward to tomorrow afternoon."

After listening to Xiang Shoushi, Wang Tianwang felt that what Xiang Shoushi said made sense, but he still felt a little uneasy.

He said worriedly:

"Old Chu, this possibility is indeed very high, but is there a conspiracy behind this?

Did No. 76 deliberately spread false information to trick us?"

Xiang Shoushi certainly could not rule out this possibility, but he felt that this possibility was not great. Even if there was such a possibility, he could not give up tomorrow's action.

Xiang Shoushi said:

"Stationmaster, your worry is not without reason, but have you ever thought about this? If we give up tomorrow's operation and take action the day after tomorrow, if Wang Jingwei really comes tomorrow, we will miss such an opportunity."

Wang Tianwang thought about it and felt that Xiang Shoushi was right. If he missed this opportunity, it would be too late to regret. It would also be difficult to explain to the bureau chief, and he could not bear the responsibility for missing the opportunity.

It seems that this is the only way, and I can't be indecisive anymore.

He nodded and said:

“Then proceed as planned, but you must also tell the operators that if they find anything unusual tomorrow, they must stop the operation decisively.

You must also find a way to verify this news when you return."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Xiang Shoushi understood Wang Tianwang's caution, and after saying that, he hurriedly left Wang Tianwang's office.

Wang Tianwang looked at Xiang Shoushi's departing back and thought to himself that the action was already on the agenda and had to be taken. He just hoped that everything would go well tomorrow and that no accidents would occur.

He has reported both plans to the Shancheng headquarters. The bureau chief has agreed and promised to send someone to deliver the poison to Shanghai as soon as possible.

Of course, Wang Tianwang hoped that the poison would not be used, but he could not guarantee that the assassination of Wang Jingwei in No. 76 would be successful, and there were still uncertainties. So he could not give up this backup plan.

……

In the large office of the editorial department of Damei Daily, when Han Dang hung up the phone with Yuan Ye, his colleagues in the office all looked at him with concern.

Everyone heard what Han Dang said and was a little surprised. Who was threatening to kill Han Dang?

Han Dang was quite famous in the journalism industry. He was known for his criticism of current social ills, his fearlessness of power, and his anti-Japanese patriotism. He was also highly respected in the newspaper office. It was also known that he had offended many people, but he did not care. He was often threatened, but he still did his own thing.

This time he criticized Wang Jingwei without mercy. Everyone wondered if this threat was related to Wang Jingwei.

So they came over and surrounded his desk, asking about the situation with concern.

Editor-in-chief Shi Xingguang is also a patriot who usually supports Han Dang's work. He asked:

"Xiao Han, I heard what you said when you answered the phone just now. What happened? Is it serious?

Who is calling you?"

Han Dang didn't care and said:

"I didn't know the person who called me. He told me that because I had offended Wang Jingwei, the agents from No. 76 wanted to kill me, and asked me to leave to avoid the spotlight.

Editor-in-chief, this is not the first time I have been threatened. It’s no big deal. If I were afraid of them, I would not be Han Dang.

If they want to kill me, then they can. I won’t run away with my tail between my legs out of fear and let them laugh at me.”

After Han Dang finished speaking, a scornful smile appeared on his face.

Shi Xingguang frowned. He had a premonition that the situation this time might be different from before. He also heard that the spies of No. 76 were all ruthless killers.

He knew Han Dang's character, a man who would rather break than bend. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to persuade him.

Shi Xingguang said:

"I think you should still pay attention to your safety. Let me tell you this. Just in case, I'll have seven or eight colleagues accompany you to and from get off work in the next few days. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

As soon as Shi Xingguang said this, colleagues gathered around the desk raised their hands and signed up to respond.

Han Dang knew that Shi Xingguang and everyone cared for him, so he couldn't refuse and said:

"I didn't expect that my work would cause you all so much trouble. Thank you all!"

After everyone dispersed, Han Dang sat down at his desk and began to write an article exposing Wang Jing's treasonous acts, preparing to publish it in the newspaper tomorrow.

I had just finished writing half of the article when the phone in the office rang. It was someone looking for him.

He picked up the phone, and a strong male voice said on the other end:

"Is that Reporter Han?"

"It's me. May I ask who you are?"

Han Dang asked.

The person who called was Li Changhe, the head of the special operations department of the Red Party’s underground organization. At that time, he was in a telephone booth on the side of the road.

After he received the order from Comrade No. 1, he called Han Dang immediately.

Li Changhe said:

“Like you, I am a patriot.

We have received news that the agents of No. 76 want to kill you. You must take shelter for a while. If you are willing, our organization can arrange for you to work in the New Fourth Army base in northern Jiangsu, where you can also pick up a pen to fight the enemy. "
