Zhan Yuanliang never expected that Shang Zhenyun came to his house late at night, and this sentence was the first sentence, and his heart was immediately shocked, looking at Shang Zhenyun, he couldn't help but ask again: "You asked me to assassinate the members of the envoy group?" ”

"Yes!" Shang Zhenyun nodded heavily, and confirmed, "A few days ago, the headquarters gave us an order to assassinate these Japanese magnates at all costs, these people are all prominent figures, if the assassination is successful, the impact will be absolutely huge."

However, today I sent operatives to the vicinity of Zhenjiang to intercept them, but the Japanese took too close precautions, and in the end the operation failed, and now that the envoy has arrived in Nanjing, there must be a lot of defense forces around me, but I am afraid that it is impenetrable, and my men will not be able to rely on it at all.

I know that this mission is headed by Hidetoshi Shimizu, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, so it must be your consulate general who is responsible for entertaining them, and among all the hidden personnel, you can now access them, so I decided to use you to complete this mission! ”

After listening to Shang Zhenyun's words, Zhan Yuanliang couldn't help but take a breath to himself, he knew that the danger of this assassination mission was self-evident, he had been lurking for many years, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to carry out the assassination mission.

He hesitated for a long time before he asked, "Stationmaster, do you know when I joined the military command?" ”

Shang Zhenyun was stunned for a moment, and slowly shook his head, he only knew that the "hunter" was a senior spy who had been lurking in the Japanese for many years, but he did not know his historical situation, such top-secret information, only the bureau headquarters had an archive record.

Zhan Yuanliang showed bitterness, forced a smile, and said: "I am an agent of the Blue Coat Society period, the Republic of China was ordered to lurk in the Japanese consulate in Nanjing in the twenty years, and it has been a full ten years now, in order to be able to break into the consulate general, I am incognito, marry a wife and have children, start from a miscellaneous servant, then become a cook, step by step to now be a clerk, that is, when Nanjing fell, I did not leave, now in the consulate general, there are only three Chinese, those two are miscellaneous servants, only one of me is a clerk, I spent ten years, I have gained the trust of the Japanese, and now I have access to some valuable information, but... But you asked me to do the assassination? ”

Zhan Yuanliang's tone was full of helplessness, he looked at Shang Zhenyun, and then said: "I'm not afraid of death, when I joined the body, I thought of this day, but to carry out such a task, do you think about it again?" ”

Zhan Yuanliang said what he said from his heart, it was not easy for him to survive to this day, in order to gain the trust of the Japanese, he was cautious, walking on thin ice, how many risks he experienced in the middle, how much effort he put in, but it doesn't matter, his instructor once said that an excellent spy, even if he only obtains one key piece of information in his life and plays his due role, then he is considered a successful spy.

However, after years of hard work, when he had access to the Japanese paperwork and information, he was used as an assassin, which was really difficult for him to accept.

When Shang Zhenyun heard this, he couldn't answer for a long time, he could understand Zhan Yuanliang's feelings at this time, and he also knew that it was a waste of resources to do this, but now he had no other way, so he still decided to use Zhan Yuanliang.

"I know your feelings, but there is no way, Nanjing Station has not made achievements for a long time, and it has made Shangfeng dissatisfied, the bureau headquarters has issued a death order this time, and the task must be completed, I have no other way.

I know that tomorrow night, the consulate will hold a grand welcome banquet for the arrival of the embassy, when the time comes, not to mention these Japanese magnates, that is, the Japanese high-level officials of the whole Nanjing, as well as the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Nanjing government will go to the banquet, think about it, which of these people who go to the banquet is not an important devil and traitor, it is rare to see in ordinary times, as long as a piece of poison is casually poisoned, it will be a brilliant victory, this is not worse than the effect of harvesting a top-secret piece of information, this opportunity is too rare, only you can do it! ”

After speaking, he took out the small bottle from his arms, put it on the desk, and continued: "This is potassium cyanide, extremely toxic, these doses are enough, everything depends on you!" ”

Seeing that Shang Zhenyun insisted on his own opinion and still ordered himself to do it, Zhan Yuanliang couldn't refuse anymore, otherwise he would be disobeying his orders, which can be dealt with on the spot according to the family rules of the military command, besides, he is just not worthy of himself, but he is not really afraid of death.

Zhan Yuanliang nodded slowly, took the small bottle, looked at it in front of him, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "I haven't used this thing for many years!" ”

He has been lurking for ten years, and he has never participated in field operations again, and many things are rusty, so he checked it in his hand, and then said: "I used to work in the kitchen of the consulate, and I worked as a cook, and with the specifications of tomorrow's banquet, there must be a lot of people attending the banquet, and the kitchen will definitely not be busy. ”

Zhan Yuanliang frowned when he heard this, the people he wanted to assassinate the most were naturally those top leaders, if he couldn't determine the target, the effect of the action would be reduced, so he asked with some disappointment: "You can't do anything at the banquet?" ”

Zhan Yuanliang shook his head and said: "I'm just a clerk, I'm not qualified to participate in such a high-level banquet, forcibly entering the banquet hall is too eye-catching, and the toxicity of potassium cyanide is too strong, after poisoning, that is, fifteen seconds to thirty seconds, symptoms will appear, if the Japanese react quickly, if they find that someone is poisoned, they will immediately block the consulate, if I stay at the banquet and delay time, it is impossible to get out, also, there are only three Chinese in the consulate, my status is the highest, the possibility of poisoning is the greatest, only need a little investigation, I will be exposed, and sacrifice is inevitable. ”

Zhan Yuanliang thought about it very clearly, this operation was too dangerous, even if he didn't go to the banquet hall and only poisoned the kitchen, if he couldn't evacuate in time, it would only be a matter of time before he was exposed, so this time, it would definitely be his last action.

Shang Zhenyun looked at Zhan Yuanliang with deep eyes, and said word by word: "Then you will find a way to enter the banquet hall and try to choose the main target to start, this opportunity is too rare, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" ”

When Zhan Yuanliang heard this, his hand couldn't help but tremble, the small bottle almost fell off, and at the same time, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his head and looked at Shang Zhenyun tightly, which was obviously to send himself to death.

The air in the room suddenly became tense, although Zhan Yuanliang was mentally prepared, but letting him be a dead soldier was still unexpected before, originally as long as he planned properly and evacuated in time, he still had the possibility of getting out, but now it seems that there is no hope at all, which makes him hesitate for a while.

"What? You don't want to? Shang Zhenyun's voice became cold, "Retreat from the battle and disobey military orders, what are the consequences, you know it, is it that you have been dormant for a long time and have forgotten the rules?" ”

Shang Zhenyun can't take care of a lot for this mission, and if he doesn't seize this opportunity, he is afraid that he will have no chance in the future.

Zhan Yuanliang heard that he had already said this, and knew that it was impossible to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will try my best to determine the goal!" ”

At this time, Shang Zhenyun took out a photo from his arms, handed it to Zhan Yuanliang, and said: "This person's name is Keisuke Ueno, who is Japan's top biochemical expert, the director of the Qingshui Research Institute, that is, the person in charge of the Japanese poison gas factory in Nanjing, and the main target of our previous mission to sabotage the poison gas factory. ”

Zhan Yuanliang took the photo, looked at it carefully, and asked, "He is also the target of this operation?" ”

"Yes!" Shang Zhenyun said solemnly, "We were ordered to destroy the Qingshui Research Institute and prevent the Japanese from producing poison gas, but we paid a huge price, and only destroyed some poison gas facilities, all of which were palliative, and then we decided to attack people, so we targeted Keisuke Ueno, as long as this person was assassinated, the Japanese poison gas production would come to a standstill, but we carried out several assassination operations against him, and in the end they all failed, and lost a lot of brothers."

I know that the scale of this banquet is very large, and the Japanese military personnel in Nanjing are likely to participate, this Keisuke Ueno has a very high status in the Japanese army, I estimate that it is very likely to appear, anyway, it is also a hammer deal, if you can't attack those primary targets tomorrow, then, try to find Keisuke Ueno, take him as the second target, as long as you can get rid of him, it is also a great achievement. ”

Shang Zhenyun has always been concerned about the failure of the task of destroying the poison gas factory, and he is angry, for this mission, the brothers around him have sacrificed everything, and Nanjing Station has not recovered so far, so as long as there is a chance, he wants to make up for this regret, and this Keisuke Ueno is the target he wants to get rid of.

"Understood, I'll keep an eye on this person as a second target!" Zhan Yuanliang nodded in agreement.

Shang Zhenyun thought about it for a while, and said again for a long time: "You clean up, I will pick up your wife and children tonight and send them to Jiangbei for resettlement, after you do it tomorrow, if you can get out alive, go directly to Jiangbei, your family will be reunited, if you can't ......"

Speaking of this, his tone paused: "I will arrange them and send them back to the rear to ensure that they will be safe and secure in the next life, with no worries about food and clothing." ”

This is the way to go back! Zhan Yuanliang sighed secretly, in order to break into the Japanese consulate, the Japanese only believed that people who lived in Nanjing, had families and immediate family members, so as to control them.

For this reason, he quickly found an ordinary woman to marry, so that he could successfully lurk, but over the years, the two of them respected each other like guests, loved each other, and later had children, which has long been no different from ordinary people.

Now that his family has been taken away as hostages, Zhan Yuanliang has to bow his head and comply, he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's okay for them to transfer away first, otherwise I am worried and not at ease, I hope you will keep your word!" ”

When Shang Zhenyun heard this, he said solemnly: "You have meritorious service to the party and the state, I can't embarrass your family, I swear, if there is a real accident, I will treat them well and never break my word!" ”

The two of them had agreed, and the time was pressing, so Zhan Yuanliang hurried to explain the situation to his wife, and soon the sound of a woman sobbing came from the house, and it took a long time before it stopped.

The couple packed up their valuables, and finally woke up the two children, dressed them neatly, and brought them to Shang Zhenyun.

"It's all up to you, please!" Zhan Yuanliang pleaded with a face, as soon as tomorrow's action begins, his latent career will come to an end, and he will never take care of the future affairs, the safety of his family, and his future life, he can only believe that Shang Zhenyun can keep his word and live up to his trust.

Shang Zhenyun nodded heavily, took the luggage, and walked out of the room first, Zhan Yuanliang hugged his wife and children one by one in the house, said goodbye in tears, and sent them out of the door, watching them disappear into the night.
