Therefore, the operations room is currently short-staffed and unwilling to transfer personnel to supplement it. The bigwigs all believe that their protégés are innocent, so they are frequently putting pressure on the Military Intelligence Bureau, urging them to release the people as soon as possible. Even the Director, who is highly trusted by the Chairman, is in a dilemma, unable to decide whether to kill or release them.

If Ning Zhiheng comes back, this hot potato will probably end up in his hands.

Ning Zhiheng understood the whole story and was naturally unwilling to be the sucker. Despite his real power and status as one of the top officials in the Military Intelligence Bureau, he was still far from being a threat in the eyes of these military and political bigwigs.

Now that the wartime capital is filled with high-ranking officials, powerful figures, and military bigwigs, the Military Intelligence Bureau is also constrained in its actions. Ning Zhiheng himself needs to have a clear understanding of this.

He spread his hands, feigning helplessness: "Chief, this is a difficult situation. These people all have connections, and one move can have far-reaching consequences. If we want to identify a target, the evidence must be irrefutable and without the slightest error. We also cannot resort to torture. I can hardly guarantee that!"

Huang Xianzheng was also in a dilemma, but now that Ning Zhiheng had returned, he would definitely be assigned by the director to take over this thorny case. He paced back and forth in the room, carefully considering the implications.

At this moment, Wei Liangbi spoke up, saying, "Now the real traitor knows we are afraid to act rashly and will not go all out, nor will he speak up on his own. So unless we bypass these operations staff and find solid evidence from another direction to catch the real traitor, we will not make any progress."

Ning Zhiheng smiled bitterly: "The usual procedure for solving a case is to first find the suspect, the mole, and then use torture to extract a confession, find his superior carrier pigeon, and thus uncover the entire intelligence team. But now we are required to find their superior carrier pigeon first, and then prove that he is the mole. Without the mole's clues, how can we find his superior out of thin air? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Ning Zhiheng's words silenced everyone in the room. Huang Xianzheng pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "It's settled that you're back to oversee the counter-espionage operation. This case is the most important one, and there's no going back. However, we can still use it to negotiate a price. At the very least, we can't be allowed to do anything that offends people. Zhiheng, this will be a bit difficult. You'll need to think of another way. I believe that with your skills, this case won't be a problem for you!"

He had great faith in Ning Zhiheng's abilities, which made Ning Zhiheng somewhat amused and exasperated. However, since the person had already returned, he couldn't avoid the task and could only bite the bullet and give it a try.

"Yes, I will do my best to resolve this matter!" Ning Zhiheng nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was indeed too late, Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi got up to say goodbye and left Huang Xianzheng's residence.

As they stepped out of the official residence, Wei Liangbi glanced at his watch and chuckled, "You must have had a long day. Are you going home by yourself, or would you like to stay at my place for the night?"

The home Wei Liangbi mentioned was not Ning Zhiheng's own official residence. To avoid attracting attention, Ning Zhiheng deliberately chose a relatively secluded neighborhood for his official residence. Sun Jiacheng and Tan Jinhui usually lived in this residence, keeping a low profile and rarely being known by others.

He was referring to the Ning family mansion, because Huang Xianzheng's official residence was actually the best mansion that Ning Zhiheng had given him, and it was also in the same neighborhood as the Ning family mansion, so it wasn't far from the Ning family mansion. Wei Liangbi was asking Ning Zhiheng whether he was going back to the Ning family mansion.

Ning Zhiheng said with a wry smile, "It's already two in the morning. If I suddenly go home, I'll scare my family to death. I'd rather stay at your place for the night. Anyway, my family thinks I've been in Chongqing all along, so they're not in a hurry for one night."

Wei Liangbi nodded. His home was also near this street. When he bought the land and property, he had done so with Manager Wen from the Tuoning family, so they were not far apart.
