Zheng Yao Xian didn't stay at the headquarters for too long. After making simple arrangements and telling Zhao Jian Zhi and the others not to torture Zeng Mo Yi, he left the bureau. He was going to return to Zeng Mo Yi's residence and retrieve the list hidden behind the ventilation fan blade.
He didn't go alone, he took Song Xiao An with him.
Compared to Zhao Jian Zhi, Song Xiao An was more obedient and had a more laid-back personality. Zheng Yao Xian brought him along mainly for witness purposes, making it easier to have someone to testify later.
Upon arrival, Zheng Yao Xian told Song Xiao An to wait downstairs and then went upstairs alone.
Unluckily, Zheng Yao Xian saw his nemesis, Gao Zhan Long of the Central United Service Bureau, at Zeng Mo Yi's residence!
Tian Hu, whose face was slightly sunken, was beside Gao Zhan Long.
Seeing Gao Zhan Long, Zheng Yao Xian couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety. Why was he here?
Belonging to the Military United Service Bureau and the Central United Service Bureau respectively, standing on opposite sides of the two major camps, Zheng Yao Xian didn't take Gao Zhan Long seriously. However, Gao Zhan Long saw Zheng Yao Xian as his biggest rival, a relentless cockroach who kept coming back after every defeat, fixated on Zheng Yao Xian.
Although Zheng Yao Xian didn't consider Gao Zhan Long a true adversary, he had to admit that Gao Zhan Long was a capable individual. His presence here, given time to analyze the situation, would surely lead him to discover the list hidden behind the ventilation fan blade.
The list was obtained at the cost of Comrade Zeng Mo Yi's exposure and sacrifice. While Zheng Yao Xian couldn't save Zeng Mo Yi's life, he had to protect the list, bought with her life.
Seeing Zheng Yao Xian, Gao Zhan Long greeted him, "Isn't this Brother Six of the Military United Service Bureau? What's this, you need to inspect the scene you've already examined? That's unlike Brother Six's usual style!"
Gao Zhan Long and Zheng Yao Xian were sworn enemies. His presence here meant he had received some news, and now he was pretending to be clueless, simply to mock Zheng Yao Xian for failing to find the information Zeng Mo Yi had hidden.
The renowned Brother Six of the Military United Service Bureau couldn't even find the information hidden by a little girl, wouldn't that be a laughing matter if it got out?
Zheng Yao Xian was burning with anxiety but couldn't show it. He maintained his Brother Six persona, calmly responding to Gao Zhan Long, "The Communist Party is cunning. You're not the only one who has fallen for their tricks, haven't you also stumbled? Oh right, there's also your Central United Service Bureau agent Lin Tao, her codename is 'Razor,' right? Hehe, I saw her the other day, she was quite a sight, all birdlike and clinging."
Zheng Yao Xian's words were all pointed, each sentence hitting Gao Zhan Long directly.
First, he refuted Gao Zhan Long's mockery, implying that Zheng Yao Xian had definitely fallen for fewer Communist Party traps than Gao Zhan Long. His current mockery was simply forgetting the pain of his own wounds.
Then he delivered a blow, highlighting the humiliation of the Central United Service Bureau when Lin Tao, sent by them to seduce Chen Han Wen, ended up losing both the woman and the battle.
Naturally, Gao Zhan Long was angry, but he had learned self-control from repeatedly being defeated by Zheng Yao Xian. As long as he could find the list before Zheng Yao Xian, it would be the best retaliation.
Zheng Yao Xian had been here before, but he hadn't found the list, otherwise he wouldn't have returned.
Or perhaps… Zheng Yao Xian already knew where the list was hidden, but he hadn't taken it. He came back this time to get the list.
He hadn't gotten his hands on it yet…
Thinking about this, Gao Zhan Long felt a sudden pang of anxiety.
Could it be… that Zheng Yao Xian was planning to keep the list for himself?
Regardless of Zheng Yao Xian's purpose here, the list stolen by Zeng Mo Yi was definitely still here!
Anticipating the pleasure of slapping Zheng Yao Xian in the face and mocking the Military United Service Bureau, Gao Zhan Long turned to Tian Hu, "Tian Hu, search the room carefully, make sure you find the Military United Service Bureau's list of undercover agents."
"Yes!"
Tian Hu responded immediately.
His half-face, slapped by Chen Han Wen, had been sunken for over two months, and he naturally harbored a deep hatred for the Military United Service Bureau. Now, with this opportunity to strike back, he wouldn't miss it for the world.
Zheng Yao Xian wouldn't allow Gao Zhan Long to search, he drew his gun and fired a shot directly at the ceiling. Then he pointed the gun at Gao Zhan Long, "Gao Zhan Long, who gave you the audacity to interfere with my Military United Service Bureau matters in front of me, Zheng Yao Xian?"
The gunshot was to alert Song Xiao An, waiting downstairs, and aiming the gun at Gao Zhan Long was to prevent him from making any rash moves.
Gao Zhan Long couldn't move, pinned down by Zheng Yao Xian's gun.
Tian Hu also raised his gun, aiming at Zheng Yao Xian, and shouted angrily, "Don't point your gun at Mr. Gao!"
Zheng Yao Xian glanced at Tian Hu's position, a thought occurred to him, and he devised a plan. He put one arm around Gao Zhan Long's neck, keeping the gun pressed against Gao Zhan Long's temple, and slowly moved his position. Tian Hu followed suit, adjusting his position as well.
When Tian Hu stood with his back to the room door, Zheng Yao Xian stopped moving and provocatively asked Tian Hu, "Do you dare to shoot?"
"Do you dare?"
"I dare!"
"…"
Tian Hu was speechless, Zheng Yao Xian dared to shoot, but he didn't dare to gamble with Gao Zhan Long's life.
Just then, Song Xiao An appeared from outside, seeing Gao Zhan Long and Tian Hu, especially Tian Hu pointing his gun at Zheng Yao Xian, Song Xiao An immediately felt displeasure.
A low-level thug from the Central United Service Bureau dared to point a gun at Brother Six?
This was unforgivable!
Without hesitation, he charged forward, using the gun butt to strike Tian Hu on the back of the head.
Seeing Song Xiao An suddenly appear at the door, Gao Zhan Long wanted to warn Tian Hu, but Song Xiao An was too fast. Before Gao Zhan Long could speak, Song Xiao An launched a surprise attack from behind, knocking Tian Hu unconscious with a single blow from the gun butt.
After knocking Tian Hu out, Song Xiao An didn't stop, he found a rope and tied Tian Hu up hand and foot.
He had learned this from Chen Han Wen, knocking an enemy out was not a good strategy. Either kill them or eliminate their ability to resist.
Gao Zhan Long closed his eyes in pain, once again, he had been outsmarted silently and invisibly by Devil Six.
Tian Hu had been positioned with his back to the door, it was a deliberate move by Zheng Yao Xian to lure him inwards… Damn Devil Six!
Gao Zhan Long wished he could cut Zheng Yao Xian into a thousand pieces.
However, he was now in a passive position and could only obediently be captured by Zheng Yao Xian.
"Gao Zhan Long, you've lost to me again."
Zheng Yao Xian put his gun away, looking at Gao Zhan Long, and mocked, "You keep losing to me, yet you keep coming back to cause trouble. A dog can't change its spots, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Humph!
Gao Zhan Long snorted coldly, turning his head away, refusing to acknowledge Zheng Yao Xian.
However, in that moment of turning his head, a sudden thought flashed through Gao Zhan Long's mind, and he instinctively blurted out, "I know where Zeng Mo Yi hid the list!"
"…"
This was exactly what Zheng Yao Xian feared. Gao Zhan Long's sudden outburst made Zheng Yao Xian feel an overwhelming urge to kill him and silence him forever.
He was thinking about the possibility of killing Gao Zhan Long and Song Xiao An, as well as Tian Hu, and then escaping from Shancheng with the list.
Song Xiao An didn't think that far, he simply looked at Gao Zhan Long, "Where?"
"It's behind the ventilation fan!"
Gao Zhan Long burst into laughter, looking at Zheng Yao Xian, "Devil Six, no matter how cunning you are, this time I'm the one who guessed where it is first! Devil Six, you didn't find the list immediately this time, that's a big mistake!"
Zheng Yao Xian slapped Gao Zhan Long across the face, "You big… mother! You're a good Chinese, why are you imitating the Japanese? It doesn't matter if you know, the list was found by me and Xiao An."
I really don't understand what Gao Zhan Long is so proud about.
Zheng Yao Xian tilted his head and looked at Gao Zhan Long, telling Song Xiao An, "Xiao An, go check behind the ventilation fan blade, see if there's anything there."
In this situation, unless he killed everyone present, he wouldn't be able to get the list!
If even one of them escaped, Zheng Yao Xian would be exposed.
Zheng Yao Xian's mind was in turmoil, but he ultimately chose to remain calm and asked Song Xiao An to retrieve the film.
"Yes, Brother Six."
Song Xiao An ran to the ventilation fan, touched the fan blade, but found nothing.
He then forcibly removed the fan blade, but found nothing behind it.
Seeing this, both Gao Zhan Long and Zheng Yao Xian were dumbfounded.
Where was the list?
