Unfortunately, what he gained in one area he lost in another. With the help of the Baoding clique, Ning Zhiheng entered the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and was promoted to lieutenant with the help of his fellow student Wei Liangbi. He then broke away from his superior, Liang Deyou, and began to take charge of the team as a newly promoted lieutenant.

From then on, he began to show his talent and potential. With the help of Huang Xianzheng, a bigwig in the Baoding clique, he gradually rose to where he is today. It can be said that his own efforts were one aspect, but more importantly, his background in the Baoding clique allowed him to thrive and become even more powerful.

However, at this time, some negative effects gradually emerged. As his status rose and the power he wielded increased, his prowess became so formidable that even high-ranking officials like the Chief Executive could not ignore him.

Given this trend, with Ning Zhiheng's talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to make several more great contributions. It's safe to say that within a few years, his influence in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department will be difficult to suppress. At that time, how will these veteran agents cope? Imagine how the Director's strong position could prevent such a situation from happening.

Therefore, the director had an open and frank conversation with Deputy Director Huang. In the following years, the principle for using Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng was to reward them but not promote them. Otherwise, when the power of the Baoding faction became too great, it would inevitably break the balance and cause contradictions and conflicts.

Huang Xianzheng agreed with this point, after all, he had no ambition, especially since the Chief was highly regarded by the leader, had a strong personality, and outstanding abilities, and he could not compete with him!

Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng were well aware of this. In fact, such things were commonplace, both in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and in the military. The dominant position of the military commander was still beyond question.

The fact that the Director was able to promise Ning Zhiheng again in front of everyone that he would take charge of a region in the future is indeed because he admires Ning Zhiheng extremely and this is the greatest promise he has made to him!

Hearing the praise from the section chief, Ning Zhiheng was very grateful and quickly replied, "I am overestimating myself. I am grateful for the appreciation from the section chief and all the seniors. I will do my best and dare not slack off in the slightest!"

After discussing the specific details, the case analysis came to a close. The next task was handed over to the intelligence department to investigate the identity of Tong Huahan, the chief accountant of Yong'an Bank.

Meanwhile, Ning Zhiheng's preparations were in full swing, and Zhao Ziliang had contacted the accounting department to gather enough accounting personnel.

Ning Zhiheng returned to his office and immediately called Sun Jiacheng over.

"Immediately conduct a secret investigation into the tellers at Yong'an Bank who issued the original deposit and withdrawal slips. Do it secretly, and don't alert them," Ning Zhiheng instructed.

"How specific do you need to be?" Sun Jiacheng asked.

"Family background, personal resume, mainly to see if there is any possible connection with the Japanese side, in short, as detailed as possible," Ning Zhiheng said. Although he felt that ordinary sales clerks would not have any problems, he still wanted to do his job carefully and try not to miss any details.

Preparations are proceeding smoothly here!

The next day, Liu Datong's official appointment was issued, and he took office at the Xicheng Police Station that same day. That evening, he held a grand banquet, inviting people from all walks of life. He sent invitations to all the well-known figures in the Xicheng jurisdiction.

Ning Zhiheng arrived with all his subordinate officers, immediately stunning all the guests.

The background and backer of the newly appointed Xicheng Police Chief turns out to be Team Leader Ning from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. No wonder he was able to stand out and seize the lucrative position of Xicheng Police Chief.

The initial unease subsided quickly under the infamous reputation of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

After that, Liu Datong effortlessly placed his people into various departments under his command, and no one dared to disobey his orders!

He promoted Chen Yanqing and Wen Xingsheng to police chiefs, and dismissed the rest of the old officers except for Ding Dahai, using various excuses to establish his authority. With this, Liu Datong had complete control of the Xicheng Police Station.

The news spread extremely quickly, and naturally it couldn't be kept secret from the owners of the various smuggling companies.

Smugglers who used to rely on Du Qian's connections now all know the name Liu Datong, the current police chief of Xicheng. They will have to rely on this chief for their livelihood from now on. In an instant, Liu Datong's new mansion was bustling with people, and the living room was piled high with congratulatory gifts.

Looking at the scene before her, Liu Datong's wife felt as if she were in a dream. She never imagined that in just a few months, the once impoverished Liu family would become so wealthy. She simply couldn't believe her eyes!

Liu Datong remained relatively calm and, with the help of Chen Yanqing and the other brothers, began to handle various matters in a well-organized manner.

Liu Datong watched as people came and went, with some trying to flatter him and others casually laughing it off.

I was secretly astonished. I had heard that the West City Police Department was a place where money was extremely lucrative. But I couldn't really understand it until I was there. The money was like worthless pieces of paper. By the end, I was numb to it all!

At that moment, a business card was handed to him. A middle-aged man with a shrewd smile said, "I am Zhu Hongbo from Demao Trading Company. I am delighted to hear of Director Liu's promotion and have come to offer my congratulations. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. The intelligence department's investigation results on Tong Huahan were also released and delivered to Zhao Ziliang, the head of the action department, as soon as possible.
