Ning Zhiheng arrived at Wei Liangbi's office and asked, "Senior brother! Is something the matter?"

Wei Liangbi pointed to the phone on the table, nodded, and said, "Of course there's something, and it's great news! The section chief just called; your promotion order will be issued tomorrow!"

"It can't be that fast! I just submitted the case closure report, and I haven't even handed in the materials I have yet!" Upon hearing this news, Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed, but he quickly asked in bewilderment.

Wei Liangbi waved his hand and said, "No need to wait any longer. There is still a lot of follow-up work to be done in this case, so it is not appropriate to make it public. Let's continue with the procedures."

I'm informing you now that tomorrow morning, we'll go together to the section chief to collect your promotion order! The commendations for the other personnel who contributed to the case will be given in a few days; this is only your promotion. The higher-ups have already put forward a commendation for you in advance. This exception is made for you to facilitate the placement of the new personnel who will be arriving soon!

At this point, Wei Liangbi could no longer hide the smile on his face and laughed heartily, "Congratulations, Major Ning, Team Leader Ning!"

Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed. Although he had known about the news for a long time and had made many preparations for it, he was still overjoyed to receive the official notification!

"That's great! Thank you, senior brother! After I advance in rank tomorrow, let's invite everyone over for a proper celebration!" Ning Zhiheng said with a beaming smile.

"Of course, this is a big event for you, so it has to be a grand affair. I'll have Lao Shao make the arrangements later," Wei Liangbi said excitedly, as this was a perfect success.

“We’ll go see the teacher in the next couple of days and let him know the good news!” Ning Zhiheng said.

Wei Liangbi nodded repeatedly: "That's great! It's been a while since I visited my teacher. This will make him happy too!"

The two were in high spirits and chatted for a while before Ning Zhiheng left Wei Liangbi's office.

He went back and handed over the materials he had to Xiang Yan, and also gave some instructions to Shi Hong. Then he and Sun Jiacheng left the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and went together to the residence of the Zuo siblings.

Sun Jiacheng was the first to know that the three Zuo siblings were now working for Ning Zhiheng, so Ning Zhiheng did not hide it from him.

Knocking on the courtyard gate, Zuo Qiang and Zuo Rou saw Ning Zhiheng and Sun Jiacheng. They recognized Sun Jiacheng, knowing that he was Ning Zhiheng's most trusted subordinate.

"Commander Ning, is there something we need to do?" Zuo Rou asked. She was shrewd and knew that Ning Zhiheng must have a reason for coming to her door.

“I have something for you to do. This is Sun Jiacheng, my confidant. If you need anything and can’t find me, you can contact him directly!” Ning Zhiheng said to the Zuo siblings, pointing to Sun Jiacheng.

Zuo Rou and Zuo Qiang nodded quickly to indicate that they understood.

"Can you drive?" Ning Zhiheng asked.

Zuo Qiang and Zuo Rou exchanged a glance. Zuo Qiang replied, "My older brother and I both know how to drive. We used to be Dai Daguang's drivers and bodyguards. We've driven both big and small vehicles. My sister doesn't!"

Ning Zhiheng said with satisfaction, "Alright, let's do something now!"

After saying that, he took out the medicine storage manifest and handed it to Zuo Qiang, saying, "There is a batch of medicine in the Beihuai warehouse, all of which are top-quality wound medicine. You two go and retrieve this batch of medicine today and store it in the Macheng warehouse in the north of the city. Complete the storage and retrieval procedures. It must be the kind where you can retrieve the goods based on the manifest and not by name. The manifest must indicate that it is grain. Do not let anyone else handle it. Only the two of you can move it. The faster the better!"

Then he turned to Sun Jiacheng and said, "You cooperate with his operation. I remember Dai Daguang's trading company seized two trucks. You take one of them, change the license plates, and give it to Zuo Qiang. Have the two of them pick up the goods. Don't show your face! After the transport is completed, return the truck. Don't arouse suspicion!"

Sun Jiacheng, Zuo Qiang, and Zuo Rou all nodded in agreement.

"Hurry up, this work must be completed today. Keep the invoice, you'll handle the follow-up work!" Ning Zhiheng instructed Zuo Qiang.

Zuo Qiang nodded repeatedly, clearly showing that Commander Ning valued him highly. He was the youngest of the Zuo siblings and usually obeyed his older brothers and sisters' orders. He never expected that he would have to take on responsibilities this time.

Ning Zhiheng then remembered something and asked Zuo Qiang, "You two would better change your clothes and try not to leave too deep an impression on others!"

Zuo Qiang quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander Ning, my sister is very familiar with these disguise techniques and will definitely be prepared!"

Ning Zhiheng turned to look at Zuo Rou. It seemed that the siblings were quite adept at these martial arts techniques!

"Don't call me 'Commander,' that's too obvious and makes it easy for people to guess my identity. From now on, you and your siblings should call me 'Young Master'!" Ning Zhiheng said after thinking for a moment.

His arrangements for the Zuo siblings were different from those of other peripheral personnel. People knew that Liu Datong and Chen Yanqing were peripheral personnel recruited by Ning Zhiheng. Once they took action, everyone knew that they were related to Ning Zhiheng. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng could not easily entrust them with many tasks.

Now that he has the Zuo siblings under his command, who are skilled and capable, Ning Zhiheng plans to entrust them with some covert operations. This way, outsiders cannot know about his contact with them. Therefore, he must pay attention to details. If someone happens to overhear their conversation, they can deduce Ning Zhiheng's military identity from the way they address each other, which would be very dangerous!

"Understood, young master!" Zuo Qiang and Zuo Rou replied in unison.

"Act now! Get back to me tonight!" Ning Zhiheng ordered, then quickly left.

Ning Zhiheng spent the day in his office. He had been busy every day for the past few days, and today was the most leisurely day he had ever had, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
