Once the convoy safely entered the concession area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After four months, Ning Zhiheng had finally returned to Shanghai.

After changing cars several times, they finally arrived back at the Tan Mansion, where all the key members of the intelligence department were waiting to welcome Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng's absence for so long has caused great concern among everyone. The headquarters' report made it very clear that when the station chief returned to the Wuhan headquarters to report on his work, he unexpectedly rose to the rank of colonel and director of the Action Department. This is the second-ranking officer of the Action Department in the Military Intelligence Bureau, even surpassing veteran agents such as Gu Zhengqi and Xiang Yan. He is now a high-ranking official with great power and influence, and ranks among the top in the entire Military Intelligence Bureau.

Everyone is guessing that the station chief—no, now the section chief—might not return to Shanghai to oversee the work. After all, the work at headquarters is more important, and given Ning Zhiheng's position, he can no longer stay in Shanghai, a dangerous place behind enemy lines.

However, the entire Shanghai intelligence department was built by Ning Zhiheng, and every subordinate there was his loyal and old subordinate. Ning Zhiheng was their backbone. When this news was announced, the entire intelligence department was in a state of panic. It wasn't until they received a notice from headquarters that Ning Zhiheng was about to return to Shanghai that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said that in Shanghai, the Japanese intelligence headquarters with such a harsh environment of struggle, without Ning Zhiheng's presence, the others would not have had the confidence to persevere.

When Zuo Rou saw Ning Zhiheng get out of the car, she took a few steps forward and was the first to greet him. Ning Zhiheng was also happy to see Zuo Rou's surprised and delighted eyes. The two of them had been separated for so long and naturally missed each other. However, with so many subordinates behind them, they had no choice but to suppress their emotions under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"You're finally back. Why did you take so long this time?" Zuo Rou said gently, feigning reproach.

"I was caught off guard too, things happened so suddenly!" Holding Zuo Rou's hand, Ning Zhiheng explained in a low voice, "But after several twists and turns, I'm finally back!"

At this moment, everyone came forward to greet them. Ning Zhiheng smiled and gestured, and everyone entered the hall together.

Seeing that there was no one behind Ning Zhiheng, Zuo Gang was somewhat surprised and asked, "Chief, why haven't Lao Sun and Yongyi returned?"

When Ning Zhiheng left, none of his personal guards returned. Not only Sun Jiacheng and Miao Yongyi, but also the team of action members he took with him were left behind by Ning Zhiheng. After all, the two of them needed some familiar subordinates at headquarters.

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "They have all been left at headquarters for other missions. I'm afraid you won't be able to see them again until you return to headquarters."

Everyone was surprised to hear this. They all knew that Sun Jiacheng was Ning Zhiheng's earliest and most trusted subordinate, and Miao Yongyi was Ning Zhiheng's brother who grew up with him. They were both Ning Zhiheng's closest people. But this time, they didn't know why they were both left at headquarters. However, they knew that there were some things that Ning Zhiheng would not tell them, so they could not ask.

Ning Zhiheng didn't say much and immediately convened the first meeting after the establishment of the Shanghai Intelligence Section.

The intelligence station was officially reorganized into the Second Intelligence Section of the Second Operations Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, also known as the Shanghai Intelligence Section, with Lieutenant Colonel Huo Yueze serving as the section chief.

The intelligence section is divided into three intelligence groups, three action groups, one transportation group, and one telecommunications group.

Ji Hongyi was the leader of the intelligence team. He had always been Huo Yueze's deputy and was mainly responsible for gang intelligence work.

Kang Xuezhi is the leader of the Second Intelligence Group. He is an expert in intelligence and also an expert in eavesdropping. He is responsible for setting up eavesdropping devices in various industries under the Intelligence Section, and he also collects and organizes a lot of important intelligence. Ning Zhiheng values ​​him highly and has praised him for his merits many times. In this promotion, he was finally promoted to the rank of major. He is mainly responsible for eavesdropping and intelligence collection.

Shen Xiang is the head of Intelligence Group Three, responsible for all work in Hong Kong.

The three action groups were led by majors Zuo Gang, Zuo Qiang, and Deng Zhihong.

The head of the transportation team was naturally Nian Zhe, whose main job was to transport smuggled goods.

Zuo Rou, the head of the telecommunications team, also serves as the head of the general affairs department. Her title has changed, but her work remains the same.

The positions of the other personnel in the intelligence section were also promoted accordingly.
