Although the Gendarmerie had perfectly sealed off the area, setting up checkpoints and patrols at every entrance of the Mainland Hotel, even in some alleyways, they had also deployed officers from five nearby Jingwei Police Stations for outer security. However, on this snowy night, with strong winds sweeping across the rooftops, no one dared to stand guard up there. This was confirmed by Ze Anzhi after conducting a thorough nighttime reconnaissance the day before.
Taking advantage of the rooftop, he began moving towards the Mainland Hotel from Willow Tree Street, three miles away. The seven to eight meters between buildings posed no obstacle for Ze Anzhi, who was carrying a significant amount of explosives; with a light jump, he could easily traverse from a low building to a high one or vice versa. The heavy snowfall today would cover all footprints and traces left behind.
Half an hour later, at half past ten, with nearly two hours until dawn, he needed to complete the placement of the explosives within that time frame. The Mainland Hotel, constructed in a brick-and-wood style, stood five stories tall with load-bearing columns on each floor. This building had a flue that served as the smoke vent for the underground boiler room. Currently, three flues were in use while one backup boiler remained inactive. Ze Anzhi slid down this flue, using his hands and feet to grip the square walls.
Dressed entirely in black—tight-fitting leather clothing, gloves, and even black boots—he wore a hood and mask that left only his eyes visible. As he descended through the flue, the rising soot darkened his entire face; if he closed his eyes, he would blend in perfectly with his surroundings.
Once inside the Boiler Room, Ze Anzhi quietly unlatched the boiler door and slipped out to the backup boiler. At this hour, most of the Boiler Room staff had already clocked out; shift change occurred at seven in the morning. Due to strict controls by the Gendarmerie, all personnel at the Mainland Hotel adhered to rigid working hours and were strictly prohibited from lingering inside after their shifts.
Thus, during this time frame, aside from Gendarmerie personnel, Special High Class members, and ordinary Japanese soldiers, there were only numerous Collaborators remaining in the hotel. The Boiler Room was located in the basement among eight load-bearing columns. Only four Japanese soldiers were stationed there at that moment, wrapped in their military coats and fast asleep.
Ze Anzhi drew two daggers and swiftly executed a throat-slitting service for these four soldiers! While it was called throat-slitting, it actually involved slicing open their necks completely while leaving just a bit of skin hanging on. The immense blood pressure caused blood to spurt several meters high from their necks, splattering onto the basement floor.
Next came the installation of explosives. The load-bearing columns were made entirely of brick—specifically red bricks. Ze Anzhi began chiseling out holes in each column to evenly distribute the explosives within all eight load-bearing columns. After inserting timers and detonators and setting them for ten minutes, Ze Anzhi immediately returned to the backup boiler room. He removed his gloves and inserted his hands into the Brick Flue Wall while using his feet to push against the flue wall.
He climbed effortlessly upward while embedding himself into the brick wall.
