Chapter 537 Rescuing the Savior

Sun Jiacheng patted Tan Jinhui on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You've got some nerve, daring to impersonate a section chief. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Tan Jinhui nodded heavily and said, "I know, I know, I am willing to accept any punishment. Captain Sun, my family is in imminent danger. I had nowhere else to turn, so I came here. Please take me to see Team Leader Ning. He promised me that I could come to him if I had any difficulties!"

Sun Jiacheng could tell that Tan Jinhui was extremely anxious, so he didn't say anything more and handed him over to the section chief. He figured the section chief would be very happy to see Tan Jinhui.

“Alright, Tan Jinhui, now I’ll take you to see Team Leader Ning. But Team Leader Ning is now the head of the Second Action Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau. You need to be careful what you say, or you might not even be able to save your own life. Do you understand?” Sun Jiacheng carefully instructed.

"Yes, yes, I understand. I've thought everything through before I came here!" Tan Jinhui quickly replied.

Sun Jiacheng nodded, turned around to look at the guards outside the room, and then said, "Let's go. You go first, and I'll follow you!"

Tan Jinhui was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at Sun Jiacheng in surprise, wanting to ask but not daring to.

Sun Jiacheng stepped forward and gently patted his back to straighten his body. He smiled slightly and said, "Since you've already impersonated him once, keep impersonating him. Do you remember what I taught you? Stand up straight, look straight ahead, and turn the corner of your mouth slightly to the left. Good, good, that's it!"

Following Sun Jiacheng's instructions, Tan Jinhui adjusted his posture, then looked at Sun Jiacheng nervously and said, "Is this how it is? Captain Sun, why did you do this? Won't the sergeant be angry?"

Sun Jiacheng's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten the rules? Don't ask anything. You just need to obey. Remember, in the Military Intelligence Bureau, you can only be the section chief's shadow. No one can know you exist. Now go out and do as I say!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Jinhui immediately dared not say anything more, stepped forward, opened the door, and went out.

The officers and guards standing nearby quickly saluted. Tan Jinhui didn't say anything, but nodded slightly and strode forward, with Sun Jiacheng following closely behind.

The two men, one after the other, quickly arrived at the office building of the Second Operations Division. Sun Jiacheng gave a low signal from outside, and Tan Jinhui stepped inside.

The office building was full of staff from the Second Operations Division, and they all knew their superiors. Although Tan Jinhui's long gown was a bit of an eyesore, no one dared to say anything and quickly saluted him.

Tan Jinhui dared not make a sound, fearing that his accent might be wrong. He simply nodded slightly, and the two of them soon arrived outside Ning Zhiheng's office. Sun Jiacheng stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Ning Zhiheng's voice came from inside. Sun Jiacheng gestured for Tan Jinhui to wait outside the door, and then pushed the door open and went in.

Ning Zhiheng was the only one in the room. Normally, given his rank, he should have one or two secretaries, but Ning Zhiheng knew that his situation was special and he would not stay at headquarters most of the time. He would also delegate his daily official duties to Wei Liangbi, so he did not need to have any secretaries.

More importantly, Ning Zhiheng is very strict with the people around him. He is wary of everyone and only accepts those who have followed him for a long time and gained his trust. However, he does not have such a candidate at hand, so he simply gave up the position.

Seeing Sun Jiacheng enter, Ning Zhiheng signed his name on a document, placed it aside, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Sun Jiacheng stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Chief, Tan Jinhui requests an audience!"

Tan Jinhui? Ning Zhiheng's eyes lit up. He had been thinking of sending someone to Jiujiang to find this person, but now that area was occupied, the search would be difficult. He was hesitating when he didn't expect Sun Jiacheng to bring him here.

"Well done, you're very quick!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sun Jiacheng knew that Ning Zhiheng had misunderstood, and quickly said, "Chief, I didn't go to him; he came to me on his own. He seems to be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed and nodded, saying, "Bring him in!"

Soon, Sun Jiacheng brought Tan Jinhui in. As soon as they entered the office, Tan Jinhui knelt down in front of Ning Zhiheng.

"Sir, please save my family! They are in grave danger. I have no other choice but to beg you for help!" Tan Jinhui pleaded urgently.

Ning Zhiheng frowned and said softly, "Stand up!"

Seeing someone who looked exactly like him kneeling before him, as if they were his own shadow, Ning Zhiheng felt a surge of anger rising within him.

"If you ever dare to kneel before anyone again, I will personally execute you!"

His words were filled with undisguised murderous intent, and the air temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees, sending a chill down Tan Jinhui's spine.

He hurriedly stood up and bowed in front of Ning Zhiheng.

"explain!"

Tan Jinhui quickly recounted his family's ordeal to Ning Zhiheng, pleading, "Chief, they are currently torturing me severely. My cousin is about to collapse, and I'm afraid they will harm my mother. She is too weak and her life will be in danger! Please act quickly, or it will be too late!"

Ning Zhiheng glanced at Tan Jinhui, nodded, and said, "Okay, I can help you with this, but..."

At this point, his eyes turned sinister as he stared into Tan Jinhui's eyes and said coldly, "Do you remember what I said before?"
