"Su Xiwu, he has a deep conflict with Fu Quan'an. Fu Quan'an took away his position as mayor and sidelined him. His position as secretary general is also a position without power. No matter big or small, he has to go through him. Su Xiwu has always been resentful. I provoked him with words today and saw his resentment. I heard him say that Iwai Yuichi will soon be promoted to Consul General of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. I think he may take this opportunity to get rid of Fu Quan'an and then take the position again with Iwai's support."

"What are you going to do?"

Chu Yuntian knew that the young man in front of him was very smart and capable, and he must know what to do.

"I will pay close attention to his every move. Su Xiwu is also an old fox. He will definitely come up with a safe way to kill Fu Quan'an without implicating himself. What I can do is to help him do his best without exposing myself."

Yuan Ye said confidently.

"Okay, you are right, I will do as you said, but I must pay attention to safety."

Chu Yuntian was very satisfied and reiterated the safety. He thought, if it is as Yuan Ye said, using Su Xiwu to get rid of Fu Quan'an, the big traitor who was punished by the principal's personal order, it would be a great achievement. Even if it fails, there will be no loss for Shanghai Station.

He felt that today's trip was very fruitful and all these situations were very important. He would report them to the stationmaster Wang Tianwang, who would definitely be very happy.

After Chu Yuntian left, Yuan Ye thought about the plan to assassinate Sasaki. He decided to go to Gu Yan's contact station immediately.

This liaison station used Hengyuan Grocery Store as a cover and had a good location, right in the middle of the city hall and Yuan Ye’s rented apartment, and was relatively close to both.

When Yuan Ye arrived at Hengyuan Grocery Store, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Yuan Ye was very familiar with the grocery store because his family ran a grocery store. His grocery store was a two-story building with a store on the bottom floor and a residence on the top floor. He spent his time in the grocery store before going out to study. It was his parents who raised him up and supported him to go out to study with the grocery store.

The layout of Hengyuan Grocery Store was similar to his home, with two floors. The store was not closed yet, and he saw Gu Yan and a clerk arranging the goods. The goods and shelves were all brand new, and it was obvious that the store had just opened, and the incoming goods had not yet been fully put on the shelves.

Yuan Ye stepped into the store.

"Boss, give me a pack of Meili brand cigarettes."

Gu Yan was busy arranging the goods when he heard a familiar voice. He knew who it was, so he turned around and walked to the counter, took out a pack of cigarettes, and said:

"Here's a cigarette, sir."

"Boss, I see your store has just opened. I have a business I want to discuss with you. Do you have time?"

"I'm free, I'm free, sir, please go upstairs!"

Gu Yan said quickly.

"Xiao Li, you greet them downstairs."

After that, he led Yuan Ye up to the second floor and into the inner room. Gu Yan said excitedly:

"I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

"This Xiao Li looks familiar. He must be from your team."

"Yes, he also participated in the last ambush on the Japanese. His brother was killed by the Japanese. He has a deep hatred for the Japanese and traitors. He is a very reliable and smart person. Don't worry."

"How can I not trust the person you chose? I came here this time because I have a new mission. The station has decided to assassinate Colonel Sasaki, the Japanese advisor to the pseudo-Shanghai Municipal Government.

This Sasaki was originally a regiment commander under General Matsumoto, commander of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army. He was also an expert on China. After the capture of Nanjing, he participated in the Nanjing Massacre and must be killed as soon as possible.

I have learned that his wife is ill and in the hospital, and he has been going to the hospital every day recently. This is a good opportunity to assassinate him."

"Okay, Yuan Ye, what do you need me to do?"

Gu Yan asked.

"Starting tomorrow, you will send capable people to follow Sasaki's motorcade and find out his driving routes. Sasaki lives in the city government compound. He has a Japanese bodyguard and four guards from the government guard battalion following him. They are in two cars. He is sitting in the second car. I saw him in the city government compound. The people you send should follow him from outside the government compound and not too close. You should also prepare a map. After finding out the route, we will discuss the action plan tomorrow night."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements overnight."

……

The next morning, Yuan Ye stood in front of the window of the Secretary's Section 1 and saw Sasaki and his entourage getting into two cars in the courtyard downstairs. They drove out of the government gate one after the other, and then Yuan Ye went to the Secretary-General's office...

In Xingxin Lane, Yan Ping, the director of operations department No. 76, has been guarding the rental house in the lane for several days, but the Military Control Commission member Li Cheng mentioned has not returned home. He has sent people to secretly investigate this family. Li Cheng did not lie. Yan Ping believes that this Military Control Commission member will definitely return home, but the waiting is very torturous. His men are a little irritable, but Yan Ping does not dare to be careless. He knows the importance of this operation. This is the first time to cooperate with the Special High Section. Director Li attaches great importance to it and repeatedly reminds him to call and inquire about the situation every day. The Special High Section liaison officer Ono Keiji also calls No. 76 every few days to inquire.

Therefore, Yan Ping did not dare to slack off at all. He also reprimanded his subordinates and worked very hard.

Yan Ping was thinking that he might have to wait for a few more days. At this time, a member of the action team ran upstairs excitedly and said:

"Here they come! Here they come! The patrol sent a signal, the target appeared, and he just entered the house."

Yan Ping's spirits lifted, and the fatigue in his body seemed to be swept away. He immediately ordered:

"Once the target leaves the house, immediately conduct relay tracking throughout the entire process. You are all well-trained professional agents. Do not let the target find you. Call us at any time if there is any abnormal situation."

Everyone took the order and went downstairs.

A telephone was specially installed in the rental house for this operation. Yan Ping stood in front of the phone, commanding the operation and keeping abreast of the progress of the operation.

An hour later, the phone rang.

"The target has already left the alley and boarded a rickshaw on the street, heading east. Our people have followed him."

"Okay, keep following him and don't let him find you."

Half an hour later, the phone rang again.

"The target has arrived at the train station, has entered the station, bought a train ticket to Nanjing, and is now sitting in the waiting hall. After questioning, the train will leave in half an hour. Director, what should we do now? Should we continue to follow him or arrest him immediately?"

Yan Ping was shocked.

"Did he realize he was being followed?"

"I think they haven't found it yet. It's hard to say."

The person on the other end of the phone wasn't sure either.

This made Yan Ping undecided. Could it be that the target had discovered the tracking and was trying to escape? Once he got on the train, he would probably have escaped. Or it was possible that the target had come from Nanjing and was now returning to Nanjing without discovering the tracking.

But if it is the first type, once the person runs away, he may never be found again, and the clue will be completely cut off. Yan Ping does not dare to take this risk, but Director Li's order is to track the target and play the long game to catch the big fish.

Yan Ping's intention was of course to arrest him immediately, but he did not dare to act on his own. He ordered the person on the other end of the phone to wait by the phone, and immediately called Li Qunshi to explain the situation in detail. After listening to Li Qunshi, he was silent for a while and asked:

"Director Yan, what do you think we should do?"
