Shao Wenguang was surprised that Ning Zhiheng did not blame him but instead offered words of comfort. He felt a warmth in his heart and quickly stepped forward to reply, "Please give your instructions, Chief!"

Ning Zhiheng said solemnly, "The leak case has been solved so far, but this is only the beginning. From today onwards, you will be fully responsible for the subsequent investigation."

"What about the follow-up investigation?"

"Yes, there must be someone behind Ji Yongyan. You are in charge of interrogating him. You must get him to talk and find out his superiors or the transportation channels for the leaked film. In short, you must squeeze out all the intelligence value from him. I have a feeling that Ji Yongyan is a treasure trove. We will get a rich reward from him. Whether we can do it or not depends on you."

Ning Zhiheng took a file from the drawer, placed it on the table, pushed it forward, and said, "This is all the information on the leak case. Some of the contents are unknown even to the two directors. Go back and study it. Old Shao, you contributed a lot when my senior brother and I first entered this line of work. The relationship between you and us brothers is no different from others. My senior brother has thought a lot for you this time. Currently, among the heads of the main departments of the Second Division, you are the only one who is a major. You know how difficult it is for officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau to be promoted to the rank of colonel. This is a great opportunity. I wrote a lot about you in the commendation report for the leak case. If you can also dig out the Japanese spies behind Ji Yongyan, strike while the iron is hot, and I will do my best to promote you to the rank of lieutenant colonel. I will also put in a good word for you with the two directors. In short, I have given you the opportunity, so don't let me down!"

Ning Zhiheng's words immediately filled Shao Wenguang with joy. He stared intently at Ning Zhiheng, stood up straight, and said loudly, "Thank you for your guidance, Director. I will do my best to complete the mission and will never let you and Director Wei down!"

"Alright, also, now that Xia Bin has been brought to justice, Ji Yongyan doesn't need to be too polite to him. Increase the intensity of the interrogation, put him in the electric chair. Oh, and be careful not to hurt his hands. In short, we need to get his confession as soon as possible. If we drag it out, the Japanese will realize what's going on, and Ji Yongyan will be useless!"

Shao Wenguang stepped forward, took the file, nodded in acceptance, and waved for him to leave. Ning Zhiheng had too much work to do and didn't have time to chat with him.

Shao Wenguang walked to the door of the room, hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng was taken aback: "Is there anything else?"

Shao Wenguang quickly turned around and took a few steps to stand in front of Ning Zhiheng. He said in a low voice, "Chief, today Chief Wei asked me to investigate someone!"

Who is it?

"Lin Mucheng, the eldest son of Lin Zhen, a member of the Military and Political Committee!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng paused, pen in hand, and looked at Shao Wenguang, asking, "What was your answer?"

Shao Wenguang replied somewhat uncertainly, "I haven't started the investigation yet, but Chief, that name sounds familiar. I remember when we were in Nanjing, you asked me to track down a Japanese spy named Xuelang. At that time, Xuelang was also tracking a young officer named Lin Mucheng. Could these two people be the same person?"

In the end, it was Wei Liangbi. He was indeed one of the few elites in the Military Intelligence Bureau. He was meticulous, shrewd, and experienced. He had only mentioned it once, but he had already been noticed.

Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is indeed the same person!"

"It really is just one person!"

Shao Wenguang was ordered to investigate Lin Mucheng, but he suddenly remembered that Lin Mucheng was also the subject of Ning Zhiheng's investigation a few years ago. He was at a loss for what to do, so he asked Ning Zhiheng for instructions.

Ning Zhiheng continued, "Don't mention the Nanjing incident. You can find out about the other details, but don't alarm Lin Mucheng."

At this point, fearing that Shao Wenguang would ruin his plans, he bluntly stated, "Actually, it's not anything important. My senior brother has taken a liking to Lin Mucheng's sister, Lin Shulan, but the old man doesn't agree. Even my teacher's intervention was rejected. I guess he's going to try to win him over through his brother-in-law. Don't cause any trouble. We can't bring up what happened before, or you'll ruin things, and I won't forgive you!"

Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Shao Wenguang suddenly realized that Wei Liangbi was not young and had not yet married. He had found a girlfriend this time and they were getting along well, which Shao Wenguang knew. He had not expected that there was such a story behind it.

He quickly smiled and said, "How could I dare! If I ruined Director Wei's marriage, I'd be executed! I know what to do, please rest assured, Director!"

After saying that, he chuckled, stood at attention, saluted, and turned to leave.

Watching Shao Wenguang's retreating figure, Ning Zhiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Mucheng's matter had to be resolved, otherwise, if it dragged on like this, something serious would happen sooner or later.

Just then, Zhao Jiang came in and reported, "Chief, Yu Cheng, the head of the intelligence section of the Second Intelligence Division, has come to see you!"
