Propelled headlong into the relentless currents of history, Ji Yu finds himself transplanted to the tumultuous prelude to WWII.
Once an ordinary civil servant in his modern existence, Ji Yu i...
Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi arrived at the office of Zhao Ziliang, the head of the action section. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they saw Zhao Ziliang and Xiang Yan, the deputy head of the section, open the door and walk out together.
"Oh, you two brothers have come together. What's going on this time? Have you discovered another Japanese spy? If so, I'll have to ask for a reward for you!" Zhao Ziliang was in a good mood lately and couldn't help but tease them as he looked at them.
He valued these two fellow students highly. Both were young, promising, shrewd, and capable. Moreover, both were graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy, with solid foundations. It could be said that they had a bright future and were talents worth cultivating.
Especially the case of the Shadow Spy Group two months ago, which made the entire Action Section the talk of the town. Zhao Ziliang was able to hold his head high in front of Gu Zhengqi, the head of the Intelligence Section. He ridiculed Gu Zhengqi at several high-level meetings, saying that the Intelligence Section was all talk and no action. It was one thing that the Intelligence Section was not as good as the Action Section in terms of action, but now it was not as good as the Action Section in terms of intelligence. I wonder what Chief Gu thinks about this.
This infuriated Gu Zhengqi, leaving him embarrassed several times. However, the Action Section had indeed produced the most outstanding case since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. The entire process was textbook perfect, leaving Gu Zhengqi speechless and filled with resentment! As a result, these days, whenever Gu Zhengqi saw Zhao Ziliang, he would avoid him to avoid his ridicule.
"You are truly a genius! How did you know that?" Wei Liangbi was also taken aback. Had someone tipped off his section chief beforehand? But he only had a vague understanding of the whole case!
Seeing Wei Liangbi's expression change surprised Zhao Ziliang. He had only made a casual joke, but Wei Liangbi's expression seemed to indicate that he had guessed correctly!
Xiang Yan, a shrewd man, immediately perked up and said with a smile, "How come we actually guessed right? Is it that important? The section chief and I were just about to report to the director on the plan to eliminate dissidents!"
Wei Liangbi quickly said, "It's very important. We've discovered a Japanese spy who's been infiltrated into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He's a section chief in the Planning Department!"
"What?" Zhao Ziliang frowned upon hearing this and asked in a low voice, "Is the situation true?"
“We’ve already caught one of his subordinates and identified him. We need more authority to verify his identity again,” Ning Zhiheng said solemnly.
Zhao Ziliang nodded. This case was of great importance, especially since it involved the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He knew that officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were not easy to investigate!
"Then let's go together. Come with us to see the Director, and we can report this case to him in person!" Zhao Ziliang said with a wave of his hand.
Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng exchanged a glance and hurriedly nodded in agreement. The four of them then walked quickly toward the central office building.
They quickly arrived at the door of the Regency's office, knocked, and entered. The Regency's secretary led the four of them into a side hall, and then knocked on the door of the Regency's office.
"Chief, Section Chief Zhao and the others have arrived!"
"Please let them in!" the sergeant's deep voice rang out.
The secretary opened the door and gestured for them to enter. Zhao Ziliang and the other three entered one by one, and the secretary closed the door behind them.
Inside the spacious office, the director was talking with the two section chiefs of the intelligence department, Gu Zhengqi and Bian Ze, when he saw Zhao Ziliang and the other three people enter, which surprised him.
The chief was mainly summoning the two section chiefs of the Action Section, who were the main executors of this mission to eliminate dissidents. He also summoned the head of the Intelligence Section for a meeting, requesting the Intelligence Section to provide relevant intelligence to the Action Section. It was a small meeting of high-level officials, but unexpectedly, Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng were there.
The censor also held the two brothers in high regard, personally conferring ranks upon them at the victory celebration and awarding them the Second Class Yunhui Medal. He also made a special appearance at their victory banquet to show his appreciation.
He pointed at Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng, and jokingly said to Zhao Ziliang, "What, you even brought these brothers with you? Are you in a hurry to abdicate and make way for a more capable person?"
Zhao Ziliang chuckled and replied with a smile, "With their abilities, I should step down and hand over the reins in less than two years!"
Gu Zhengqi, the head of the intelligence section, was indeed finding Zhao Ziliang increasingly unpleasant. He had been avoiding him for some time, afraid of being ridiculed by him, but now he was saying that he couldn't avoid him anymore!
He decided to take the initiative and spoke up from the side, "Section Chief Zhao, today is a meeting between our two departments. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bring these two brothers along?"
Zhao Ziliang had a significant psychological advantage over Gu Zhengqi during this period, so he completely ignored Gu's questions and directly said to the section chief, "Senior, the reason I brought them here is to report a case to you. They have discovered that a section chief in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a Japanese spy. We need to apply for authorization to confirm his identity again!"
"Is that so?"
"Another Japanese spy has been discovered?"
Upon hearing this, Director and Gu Zhengqi were taken aback. The Shadow Spy Group case, which had just passed two months prior, was still fresh in everyone's memory. It could be said that the entire Military Intelligence Investigation Department had benefited greatly from it. The principal had praised the case in public on more than one occasion, affirming the capabilities of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
Unexpectedly, just two months later, the Action Section discovered another Japanese spy, this time a section chief from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is a major case that must be taken seriously!
The magistrate sat up straight and pointed at Wei Liangbi, eagerly asking, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Wei Liangbi immediately pointed to Ning Zhiheng beside him and said, "I only have a vague understanding of the matter. Zhiheng did the specific work, so I brought him along to report!"
