Miao Yongyi's suggestion made Ning Zhiheng feel that it was indeed a good arrangement.

In fact, Ning Zhiheng had previously planned to place Miao Yongyi in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

Even after Miao Yongyi returned to the rear base and recovered from his injuries, he would definitely be assigned to a regular army unit. The subsequent Shanghai retreat, the defense of Nanjing, the defense of Wuhan, and the final battle of Changsha would each result in the casualties of hundreds of thousands of Nationalist soldiers. The situation was extremely tragic. Who could guarantee that Miao Yongyi would survive these series of battles unscathed?

However, if I join the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and keep Miao Yongyi by my side to work, I can take care of him and do some auxiliary work that isn't too dangerous. At least my safety can be guaranteed.

However, he knew Miao Yongyi's character well. Miao Yongyi had always believed that joining the army and fighting the Japanese with real weapons was the right path for a soldier, and he was quite resistant to, and even looked down on, the profession of espionage.

That's why Ning Zhiheng didn't say much. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force them. He also didn't want to control Miao Yongyi's thoughts.

But today, Miao Yongyi was actually willing to join the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. The two brothers can be together again in the future, which is much better than him going to the front line and charging into the hail of bullets, fighting to the death.

Seeing that Ning Zhiheng remained silent, Miao Yongyi impatiently asked again, "What, Captain Ning, are you not willing to give me this job?"

Ning Zhiheng laughed and nodded, saying, "This is your own choice. I'm naturally very happy that you can join the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Right now, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department is recruiting a lot of people. You are a top student who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. You'd be asking for this opportunity! I'll apply for your transfer right away. From now on, you and I, brothers, won't have to be separated anymore."

With the matter resolved satisfactorily, Ning Zhiheng was pleased and said with a smile, "Although you have stayed, Nanshi is not a place to stay for long. I will arrange for you to recuperate in the International Settlement now. Once you are fully recovered, we can fight side by side."

After saying that, he helped Miao Yongyi walk out of the hospital, but Miao Yongyi was a little puzzled. As they walked, he asked, "Zhiheng, why do we need to go into the International Settlement to recuperate? What exactly is the mission of our special operations team?"

"Get in the car, I'll tell you slowly in the car. From now on, our battlefield will still be Shanghai, but it will be done in our own way." Ning Zhiheng helped Miao Yongyi into the car, then started the vehicle and drove towards the International Settlement.

Since they would be working together from now on, Ning Zhiheng didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation and the arrangements after going undercover in the car, which really surprised Miao Yongyi.

"So you've suddenly become the head of the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station?" Miao Yongyi stared wide-eyed at Ning Zhiheng. Although he was somewhat prepared and knew that Ning Zhiheng held a prominent position in military intelligence investigation, he still couldn't reconcile the image of his brother with that of a powerful spy chief in charge of a region.

While driving, Ning Zhiheng carefully explained to Miao Yongyi, "He's the deputy station chief! But don't worry, we each do our own thing and don't interfere with each other. Our strength is no less than Zheng Hongbo's, and besides, his subordinates have too many problems, so I don't want to deal with them."

Ning Zhiheng naturally had nothing to hide from Miao Yongyi. To be honest, in terms of trust, Miao Yongyi ranked first in Ning Zhiheng's heart. After all, they had known each other for more than ten years since childhood, went to school together, and applied to the Whampoa Military Academy together. Miao Yongyi was Ning Zhiheng's only brother, and this relationship was incomparable to others. In the future, they would fight side by side, so naturally, he would give him the highest level of trust.

Of course, Ning Zhiheng would keep some things to himself. He wouldn't trust anyone completely; it was just his nature.

Miao Yongyi secretly recalled that he had received a notice from Wang Zhenjiang the night before, ordering him to immediately enter the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and infiltrate his brother Ning Zhiheng's side to prepare for future espionage work.

He initially refused on the spot, as the request to infiltrate the Kuomintang's most secret intelligence department was extremely objectionable to Miao Yongyi. More importantly, he was unwilling to make things difficult for his brothers and to deceive the brothers he had grown up with.

Furthermore, his organizational affiliation was not in Shanghai, and Wang Zhenjiang was not his superior, so he had no right to direct his actions, which would be a violation of organizational discipline.

But when Wang Zhenjiang accurately conveyed to him his superior, his code name, and most importantly, the code word they had agreed upon when they left, he knew that this was the organization's decision and he could not refuse.

He had just joined when he received this bombshell news: his brother had become the head of the largest secret service in Shanghai, mainly carrying out sabotage operations against the Japanese rear. This was truly unexpected.

Ning Zhiheng and Miao Yongyi changed into suits and entered the French Concession, arriving at the entrance of a detached apartment building.

The two got out of the car. Ning Zhiheng took out his key, opened the gate, and went inside. He said to Miao Yongyi behind him, "This is a safe house we've set up for you. You'll stay here to recuperate for the next few days. Once you're fully recovered, I'll arrange a position for you immediately."

Miao Yongyi nodded, and the two entered the room together. The interior of the small building was exquisitely decorated and fully equipped, belonging to a very high-end residence. This made Miao Yongyi secretly surprised. He looked around and asked in surprise, "Zhiheng, your military intelligence station is really generous. Making a safe house so exquisite is a bit too much!"
