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 looked at the three Zuo siblings and said, "Since you intend to follow me, then I'll make things clear."
First, obey my instructions unconditionally, without any questioning or negligence!
Second, when carrying out missions, while ensuring the completion of the mission, try not to kill innocent civilians indiscriminately!
Third, and most importantly, you must keep your mouth shut. Not a single word of what I've instructed you to say can be leaked! Otherwise, you'll be court-martialed! Understand?
"Understood!" The Zuo siblings nodded in agreement.
Zuo Qiang added, "Don't worry! We all know what your Military Intelligence Investigation Department does. Commander Ning's mission is of course a military secret. He would never tell us, even if we were beaten to death. We all understand!"
They knew Ning Zhiheng's identity. The Military Intelligence Investigation Department was the country's exclusive intelligence agency, a secret police force specializing in intelligence gathering and assassinations. This department was shrouded in mystery and darkness in the rumors circulating outside.
From now on, they would be serving Commander Ning, which meant serving this Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau. The thought that the rumored behemoth was actually their powerful backer made the three Zuo siblings feel a bit more upright, realizing that they were now part of an organization!
Ning Zhiheng had no idea what they were thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
Ning Zhiheng called Lao Liao over and said, "Release them, I'll take them away in a bit!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Liao quickly stepped forward and opened the cell door. The Zuo siblings walked out of the cell with smiles on their faces. They had escaped another calamity and had once again walked between life and death!
Ning Zhiheng waved for Lao Liao to leave, then asked, "When you were working for Dai Daguang, your men committed quite a few murders, right? Do you have any criminal records?"
The Zuo siblings exchanged glances, and Zuo Gang spoke up: "We've done it a few times, but we've handled it cleanly and haven't left any criminal records! However, we don't target good people. We kill either underworld figures or thugs and street urchins fighting over territory! It was all done on Dai Daguang's orders. He saved our lives, so this is how we repay him!"
"Brother, we've already paid back the debt!" Zuo Rou didn't like hearing this. Over the years, she had risked her life for the Dai family countless times, and the debt of gratitude had long been repaid.
"Alright, it's good that you don't have a criminal record. As for this case, I'll get it closed for you!" Ning Zhiheng didn't take these things seriously; it was just a small favor for him.
“However, Dai Daguang knows what’s going on. Now that we’ve really crossed the line, I’m afraid he’ll go around spreading rumors!” Zuo Qiang suddenly said from the side.
"He wouldn't dare! He ordered us to do these things, and he doesn't want anyone else to know!" Zuo Rou's expression changed, but she quickly added.
"Hmph," Ning Zhiheng sneered, "Don't worry about it. Dai Daguang is a Japanese spy, a capital offense. He can't possibly get out alive. You don't need to worry. Just follow me obediently from now on, and I'll take care of you if anything happens! By the way, where are the three of you staying now?"
“We bought a house near Dai Daguang’s house!” Zuo Gang replied.
Ning Zhiheng found a piece of paper, took out his Pelikan pen from his jacket pocket, wrote down his office phone number and home address on the paper, and handed it over.
"After you get back, deal with the house. Find a place near this address so I can easily find you if I need anything. Contact me after you've made the arrangements!" Ning Zhiheng instructed.
After the Zuo siblings accepted the money, they nodded in agreement. At this moment, Zuo Gang hesitated for a moment, and then finally couldn't help but plead in a low voice, "Commander Ning, is Dai Daguang really out of hope this time? Can you show him mercy and spare his life?"
Ning Zhiheng narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent shooting towards Zuo Gang. Zuo Gang immediately felt as if he were being stared at by a hungry tiger, and a cold sweat poured down his back.
"What? You just escaped the tiger's den and barely survived, and you're still thinking of pleading for him?" Ning Zhiheng said coldly.
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive. Seeing Ning Zhiheng's sinister gaze, Zuo Rou was so frightened that she quickly cried out, "Brother, are you crazy? Dai Daguang saved your life, but we've done so much for him over the years, we've repaid him for everything. Now it's him who has wronged us. Commander Ning said he's a Japanese spy and there's no way he'll get out alive."
My brother was too loyal and devoted to his family, and now he's ended up in this state.
She quickly pleaded with Ning Zhiheng, "Commander Ning, my brother didn't mean anything by it, he's just stubborn like that, please don't blame him!"
Zuo Gang knew that Commander Ning was now the one he was serving, and he was well aware that with Commander Ning's power, crushing him and his two siblings would be as easy as crushing three ants.
His lips twitched slightly, but he finally said in a low voice, "Commander Ning, please don't misunderstand. I only want to ask you for one thing. Can you spare Dai Daguang's wife and son and leave them some money to live on? From now on, my life, Zuo Gang's life, is yours. I won't even flinch if it means going through fire and water!"
Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng felt relieved, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared. It turned out that Zuo Gang still cared about Dai Daguang's past relationship and wanted to leave a way out for Dai Daguang's wife and children, thus fulfilling this friendship!
Ning Zhiheng felt that his judgment was correct in Zuo Gang's actions. Zuo Gang's utmost kindness and loyalty to Dai Daguang, repaying his life-saving grace to this extent, demonstrated that Zuo Gang was an extremely loyal and righteous person. Of course, one could trust such a person to do things for him.
"Your life originally belonged to me, yet you dare to make demands of me? You're courting death! I'll let it go this time since you're a man of honor. Just know your place in the future, or I'll deal with all three of you together to avoid future trouble!" Ning Zhiheng's icy words were filled with a chilling intent. He could understand, but he couldn't forgive Zuo Gang's actions. For the sake of his future actions, he had to teach the Zuo siblings what they should and shouldn't do!
