After the Manchurian agents withdrew, everyone was still anxious. It wasn't until they met An Gonggen's brigade that they felt that the close escape was over and they were finally safe.

Even if Manchuria's agents fight back again, they still have the confidence to fight to the death, so they won't be caught without a fight.

Of course, all the Manchurian agents wanted was Lu Ming alone. As for the agents and bodyguards around him, they were not interested.

Lu Ming and An Gonggen talked alone on the side of the road for a while, then returned to the crowd, and decided to let the agents of the Fuxing Agency headquarters go back the same way, and now they don't need their protection.

These agents are actually still responsible for monitoring Lu Ming, but now that two of their colleagues have died, they are really not in the mood to carry out this secret mission.

However, they had sufficient reasons to return to Nanjing. They had to report to the president urgently when they encountered an ambush on the way, and then the upper management would come forward to negotiate with the Japanese side.

Ambushing Fuxingshe generals and agents outside the Chinese capital was no small matter.

Lu Ming knew in his heart that this matter was basically nothing, and Ozawa Seigoro and others would definitely deny it flatly and resolutely deny it, because the Chinese side did not seize the Japanese hostage.

In the context of Japan's strength and China's weakness, this is an imaginable result.

If this is not the case, how dare Ozawa Seigoro openly block senior officials of important government agencies of the Republic of China on the highway.

This is called being confident.

There is not much progress in Shanghai, and the Fuxingshe Shanghai station is now lifeless.

Hou Liang withstood all the torture tests from the Fuxing Society, and he did not reveal any valuable information except revealing his identity.

Although he has been tortured beyond human form, there is still a breath of energy supporting him, clenching his teeth and persevering to the end.

Witnessing the whole process of his torture, even Zhao Yuanliang and Huang Yanning felt that the basement had become a hell on earth, with a ghostly aura.

During the whole process, Hou Liang was in a coma except for the shrill screams. If there were no doctors who had been checking his physical condition, he might have been tortured to death long ago.

Weng Bailing walked back and forth in the interrogation room, swearing obscenely in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't understand how a person's will could be so strong that it didn't collapse under such long-lasting inhuman torture.

All available tortures have been used, and the pain of purgatory is like a steel needle piercing a person's heart, and those who are watching find it unbearable.

Weng Bailing didn't know what kind of torture was developed by the cruel officials of the Tang Dynasty. It claimed that it could make a person not hesitate to falsely claim that he wanted to rebel, just to die, even if it caused the entire clan to be wiped out.

But Hou Liang is not, he is not seeking death, but is fighting in this way, continuing to fight with them.

He couldn't figure out whether their criminal law was inferior to the cruel officials of the Tang Dynasty, or whether the current Communists were stronger than those prisoners in the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, the tricks were exhausted, and the doctor also protested, saying that even if any kind of criminal law was used, this person would not be saved even if he was a god.

"Then let him die!" Weng Bailing roared.

The doctor stared at the two executioners who were out of breath with cold eyes, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

Weng Bailing had no choice but to go back upstairs to report to Dai Li dejectedly.

Dai Li finished listening to the report with a gloomy face, but didn't show much surprise.

After a pause for a few seconds, Dai Li asked, "Is there still no other information about Hou Liang?"

Huang Yanning obtained Hou Liang's file from the police headquarters, but unfortunately there were only a few records on it. Except for his name, even his birthplace was guessed, and there were no records of other family relations, social relations, etc.

Huang Yanning specifically asked the interrogation officers of the police headquarters why the suspect's information was so thin. They said that there can only be one explanation for this situation, that is, the prisoner simply refused to explain.

Maybe that's why he was sentenced to death that year, because it was worthless to keep this person.

"Let the doctor try his best to rescue him, and don't let him die. If he can't be rescued here, send him to the best hospital and invite the best doctor." Dai Li ordered.

"Sir, this person is worthless at all, and no valuable information can be extracted from him." Weng Bailing said with a sad face.

"As long as he is still alive, he is a threat to the Communist Party. If he dies, it will be of no value at all," Dai Li said firmly.

Weng Bailing had no choice but to go downstairs in dismay, returned to the basement, and discussed the suspect's condition with the doctor.

The answer given by the doctor was that Hou Liang was dying, and if he was not sent to the hospital urgently, he would definitely not survive tonight.

Thinking of Dai Li's words, Weng Bailing had no choice but to arrange for Hou Liang to be sent to the Shanghai Army General Hospital, where he was treated by the best military doctor.

"How can you torture people like this? Prisoners also have human rights." The military doctor said angrily to Weng Bailing after examining Hou Liang's injuries.

"Doctor, this is no ordinary prisoner, he is a very important underground party, we need his statement." Weng Bailing said coldly.

The military doctor could only get angry and dared not say anything more. He knew that the important criminals of the Communist Party had no rights. They were political prisoners, not criminals.

In fact, criminals at that time did not have any human rights, but criminals did not need to be tortured at all, as long as they were beaten, they basically confessed honestly.

"You must save this person, he still has great value." Weng Bailing said.

"Try your best, I dare not give you any guarantee, you see, this man is dying, and I am not Hua Tuo." The military doctor looked at Hou Liang with tired eyes, and said perfunctorily.

The military doctor was very conflicted. He didn't know whether he should save this patient. If he pursued humanitarianism, he should give this man an injection to let his soul rest early, so that he would not have to endure more torture after healed.

From a medical point of view, he is not sure of curing the patient in front of him. Even if the treatment is optimal, the patient will be disabled for life.

But he can't do this, he is a doctor, he is destined to save people but not kill people, as to how far the patients can recover, it is beyond his control.

Weng Bailing arranged three special agents to be on duty outside the hospital ward, and no one except him and the doctor could step into the ward.

He also arranged special agents outside the hospital to prevent the underground party from sending people to rescue Hou Liang.

When Weng Bailing returned to the Fuxingshe Building, he did not expect to meet Lu Ming coming back just in time.

"Officer Lu, why are you back?" Weng Bailing couldn't help being surprised.

"Station Master Weng, why do you sound so awkward? What's wrong, I can't come back?" Lu Ming was already angry, but when he heard his words, he exploded.

"That's not what I mean. Isn't there a ban on upper-level personnel from leaving the city?"

Weng Bailing was still a little puzzled, wondering whether he had been hallucinated by Hou Liang's screams these days.

He is torturing, but at the same time he is being tormented.

Torturing people requires a strong psychological quality, just like a person who is a ghost, he naturally has a ghost in his heart.

"Yes, the city I live in is Shanghai. As long as I don't leave Shanghai, it won't be considered a violation of the ban." Lu Ming walked straight in front of him as he spoke.

"But..." Weng Bailing was stunned on the spot, unable to react.

He knew that this ban was actually set up specifically for Lu Ming, but after only a few days, Lu Ming actually violated the ban and returned to Shanghai. Could it be that the ban has been lifted?

Weng Bailing even thought that Lu Ming might not be able to come back after this trip. He was taken away by the Military Law Department, and when he arrived in Nanjing, it was like entering a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

Lu Ming has since disappeared in Shanghai, which is of course the most ideal result.

"Officer Lu, how are you doing along the way?" Dai Li greeted Lu Ming with a smile, like a confidant he hadn't seen for many years.

He received a call from He Zhonghan early in the morning and knew that Lu Ming had returned.

Dai Li heard from He Zhong that Lu Ming was in a hurry to come back to investigate a kidnapping case. In fact, he had heard about it a long time ago, but the matter was more complicated. He had no intention of intervening, so he automatically blocked the relevant information.

Now that Lu Ming has rushed back to Shanghai because of this matter, Dai Li knew that it would be unreasonable to ignore it.
