The clinic was quiet.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of Lysol.

Wang Xuesen lay flat on the hospital bed, his hands folded behind his head.

My chest still aches faintly, and even breathing feels like it's being torn apart.

But his mind was unusually clear.

Today's situation was broken with great difficulty.

Two shots landed squarely on his iron vest, costing him half his life in exchange for Li Shiqun's complete trust.

Next, it's time to close the net.

The most urgent thing right now is to get rid of Chen Mingchu.

Today is the 22nd.

On Christmas Eve, the 24th, those traitors from No. 76 are going to have a collective party at the Paramount.

The area is a mixed bag, and while security appears tight, it is actually lax.

This is one of the few opportunities that can result in a fatal blow.

I need to find some time to meet with Lao Du and finalize the schedule. I absolutely cannot let Chen Mingchu live past Christmas.

As for Bai Junqi...

Wang Xuesen gave a cold laugh.

This guy can't die yet.

Sending Zhan Shen to assassinate him would be too lenient and a waste of such an excellent pawn.

Bai Junqi is a real gem.

With his syphilis and Fang Yao's affair, he could easily take advantage of the situation and win Fujita Hajime over.

By securing Miyako's connection, the Japanese Special Higher Police would gain a voice.

More importantly, Zhang Xiaolin was standing behind Bai Junqi.

Zhang Xiaolin was one of the three bigwigs of the Shanghai Green Gang, with a deeply entrenched and powerful influence.

Li Shiqun had long disliked Zhang Xiaolin.

The most exciting part is instigating a fierce battle between Li Shiqun and Zhang Xiaolin.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

The fiercer these two tigers bite, the more benefits he, the middleman, can reap.

Longteng Company's distribution channels and monopoly on American goods are all hoping to profit from this mess.

The fiercer Zhang and Li fight, the higher their own value becomes.

Wang Xuesen closed his eyes, and a clear chain of interests appeared in his mind.

……

Deputy Director's Office.

The blinds were half-drawn, making the light somewhat dim.

Li Shiqun sat behind a large desk, holding a cup of hot tea, his brows furrowed.

Liu Zhongwen sat on the opposite sofa, his face gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The door was pushed open.

Hu Junhe walked in hurriedly, holding a lab report in his hand.

Li Shiqun immediately put down his teacup: "How is it?"

Hu Junhe handed the report to the table, his expression very serious.

"Director, the lab has already checked it."

"The bullets were coated with highly toxic potassium cyanide."

"In addition, the two bullet holes on the iron vest are in the back of the heart and lungs, which are the most fatal areas."

He pointed to the photo in the report.

"It can be clearly concluded that the killer's marksmanship was extremely precise, and he was definitely aiming to kill."

"This is consistent with the military intelligence's usual assassination methods."

Li Shiqun took a deep breath and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "What's the police station saying?"

Hu Junhe shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Two people were dead at the scene, and they had no items on them that could identify them."

"The others ran faster than rabbits, and the police are still issuing warrants and pursuing them."

"These guys came prepared; their retreat route was meticulously planned."

He paused, then lowered his voice.

"Director, as you know, there have always been secret connections between the people in Chongqing and the foreigners in the foreign concessions."

"If it was orchestrated by the Military Intelligence Bureau, it's entirely possible that the police deliberately delayed or even tacitly approved of the assassination attempt."

"It will be very difficult to capture them alive."

Li Shiqun nodded, expressionless: "I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Hu Junhe responded and turned to walk out.

As he turned around, a barely perceptible glint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Let me do the work, but when it comes to discussing important matters, do it behind my back.

If it weren't for Chen Mingchu's big mouth, I probably wouldn't have even heard the news that the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to assassinate Wang Xuesen.

However, this is indeed a wonderful thing.

Chen Mingchu is a loyal friend; he revealed top-secret information. This is a person we can befriend.

Wang Xuesen's recent assassination attempt with real weapons and poisoned bullets has essentially cleared the Chongqing side of any suspicion, allowing for deeper connections in future private transactions.

The door clicked shut.

Li Shiqun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and glanced at Liu Zhongwen on the sofa: "Old Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Zhongwen
