Chapter 69 The Assassination Begins
The next day, Monday.
In the past few days, while protecting Feng Zhitai, the Special Service has also been secretly monitoring those who have met with him, but they have not shown any unusual behavior.
The identities of Lu Qian's sister and brother-in-law have been investigated. His sister only does needlework at home every day, rarely goes out, and has very little contact with people.
His brother-in-law, Wei Qianfeng, was a driver for the Huang family. He had a clean identity, and the surveillance over the past few days had not revealed any unusual behavior. He simply drove the young master Huang Sheng around every day.
Neither of them seemed suspicious.
The investigation into the mole came to a standstill.
The assassination attempt had not yet begun, and Fu Cong had not found any suspicious individuals.
Although the Secret Service arranged for police officers to check various stations and docks, they found nothing.
Shen Yi estimated that the assassination team had already entered Jinling. In order to ensure Feng Zhitai's safety, he had sent more people to protect him in the past few days.
Shen Yi hasn't been home much these past few days, spending most of his time at the Special Service Department waiting for his subordinates' reports.
He had just finished packing and was preparing to head to the Central Military Academy.
Today is Monday, which is the Premier's Memorial Week, and he promised Song Meiyu that he would attend as well.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and he quickly went to answer it.
"Feed?"
"Team Leader Shen, Commander Feng was just attacked on his way to the Executive Yuan. Three assassins were killed on the spot, and two are on the run. I've already sent people to chase them." Fu Cong's voice came through the phone.
"Was Commander Feng injured?"
"Commander Feng is safe and sound. We have now escorted him back to his residence."
"Alright, we must ensure Commander Feng's safety, and we can't let those two assassins escape either."
"yes!"
Shen Yi hung up the phone, his brows furrowing tightly. He hadn't expected the Japanese to choose to make their move today.
He sensed something was wrong. Was it really just a coincidence that he took action today?
Today happens to be the day when President Chiang went to attend the Premier's Memorial Week, while Feng Zhitai was assassinated, and the assassin escaped.
This effectively distracted the intelligence service; was it really just a coincidence?
Suddenly, he remembered Feng Zhitai's destination for the day—the Executive Yuan!
Not many people knew that Feng Chih-tai went to the Executive Yuan today, so how would the Japanese know?
He suddenly remembered Huang Sheng's identity: Huang Sheng was the son of Huang Jun, the confidential secretary of the Executive Yuan!
He asked Feng Zhitai yesterday who he was going to see at the Executive Yuan, and Huang Jun was not among them. However, this does not mean that Huang Jun could not know from other people that Feng Zhitai would be going to the Executive Yuan.
As his confidential secretary, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out this information.
Shen Yi recalled Lu Qian's memories again, remembering how Lu Qian told his sister that he was Commander Feng's bodyguard.
Although Lu Qian said he didn't tell his sister why he came back, how could a division commander's guard come back without permission?
According to memory and Lu Qian's account, Wei Qianfeng was not present at the time, but was sleeping in the house.
Is it possible that he overheard Lu Qian and Lu Xia's conversation from inside the house?
If he heard about it and told Huang Sheng about it, and Huang Sheng sensed something was wrong, he would report it to Huang Jun.
Huang Jun then verified through his own identity that Feng Zhitai had indeed returned to Nanjing, and then leaked this information to the Japanese.
From this perspective, everything makes sense.
It is very likely that Feng Zhitai's visit to the Executive Yuan today was something he told the Japanese.
Wei Qianfeng, Huang Sheng, and Huang Jun could all be moles!
Shen Yi then thought of Principal Jiang, who was likely aware that Huang Jun had attended the Premier's Memorial Week today.
With Feng Zhitai's matter drawing the attention of the Special Service Department, wouldn't it be easier to take action against Principal Chiang?
From this perspective, it seems that the Japanese not only wanted to assassinate Feng Zhitai, but also Chiang Kai-shek may have been their target!
At this point, he even began to suspect that the intelligence about the assassination of Feng Zhitai might have been deliberately leaked by the Japanese.
That matter is not important now; what is important is the assassination attempt on Principal Chiang.
After the Japanese take action, whether they succeed or not, leaving the scene is not so easy.
The area around the Central Military Academy will definitely be sealed off, and someone will have to provide backup.
Only people of high status could pass without being suspected, and Huang Sheng met this condition.
Shen Yi quickly picked up the phone and called the secret agents stationed near the Huang residence. In order to better monitor Wei Qianfeng, the secret service had specially rented a house nearby.
Where are Wei Qianfeng and Huang Sheng now?
"Reporting to the team leader, Wei Qianfeng drove Huang Sheng out early this morning, and Fang Wei and the others are following behind."
Shen Yi understood; Huang Sheng had never left home that early before.
If he wasn't mistaken, Huang Sheng had most likely gone to the Central Military Academy.
He recalled how Principal Chiang had survived so many assassination attempts throughout his life, yet he still lived a good life.
Shen Yi didn't believe that his appearance would allow the Japanese to succeed in their assassination attempt, so he was determined to claim credit for saving the emperor.
He then quickly left the office.
. . . . .
Central Military Academy.
At this moment, Fang Wei was reading a newspaper in front of a newsstand, his eyes occasionally glancing at a teahouse, where a car was parked.
Suddenly, he saw Shen Yi get out of a car and walk towards him.
Just as he was about to greet him, Shen Yi raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Is Huang Sheng in that teahouse?"
Fang Wei nodded. "Yes, Wei Qianfeng is waiting in the car."
"How long have you been inside? Was anyone else with him?"
"Before he came, he picked up two people from a nightclub, who seemed to be his cronies. They've been staying in the teahouse for about ten minutes now," Fang Wei said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi understood. Those two people were very likely the assassins, and Huang Sheng's presence could provide them with an alibi.
Given his status, helping those two people escape would be more than enough.
At this moment, Shen Yi was certain that the Japanese were targeting Principal Chiang Kai-shek.
There's still more than half an hour until the start of the Premier's Memorial Week, so I guess President Chiang and his entourage will be setting off soon.
He needed to have conclusive evidence to prove their innocence before he could report to Principal Jiang.
"Call the others over and take down Wei Qianfeng first. Then go to the teahouse and take down Huang Sheng and his two friends!" Shen Yi said.
Fang Wei didn't know why Shen Yi suddenly gave this order, but he had long been impressed by Shen Yi's abilities.
"yes!"
O
At this moment, Huang Sheng was in a private room of a teahouse, pouring tea for two men sitting at the table. He was all humble and subservient, a stark contrast to his usual arrogance.
Suddenly, a knock on the door startled them.
"Sir, I've come to change your tea."
The servant's voice came from outside the door, which relieved them.
Huang Sheng wanted to refuse, but one of the men said, "Let him in. It will prove that we've been drinking tea here all along."
Huang Sheng thought so too, so he called out, "Come in."
The door opened, and Shen Yi, dressed as a servant, entered carrying a teapot and with his head down.
He went to the table, put down the teapot, and pretended to accidentally knock the cup to the ground.
"Click!"
Shen Yi acted swiftly, drawing two small knives from his sleeves. One knife slashed at the wrist of one of the men, while the other was thrown and stabbed directly into the arm of another.
At the same time, Fang Wei and his men, who had been lying in ambush outside, rushed in.
The man with the injured arm tried to draw his gun, but Shen Yi pounced on him and knocked him down.
Fang Wei and the others quickly subdued Huang Sheng and another man, tearing something off the man's collar.
"Reporting to the team leader, it's potassium cyanide!"
