Liu Datong immediately knew that Chen Yanqing had caught Ning Zhiheng's eye because of the last investigation, and he was very happy. This young man was able to gain the appreciation of Commander Ning, and his future was bright!

This matter requires a huge investment, but Commander Ning's orders must be carried out no matter how difficult they are, without any compromise! He nodded repeatedly, taking notes of all the key points Ning Zhiheng made.

After the two broke up, Liu Datong quickly gathered his men and brought six people to the teahouse to see Ning Zhiheng that afternoon.

Among them were Chen Yanqing and Liu Yong, whom I had met last time, and four other police officers. These people had all witnessed Ning Zhiheng's ruthless side that day and held him in great awe.

"Xiong Hongda, Gong Ji'an, Hou Cheng, and Wen Xingsheng are all quick-witted men. Xiong Hongda and Gong Ji'an are both top-notch among the security police; they handle most petty theft cases. Hou Cheng and Wen Xingsheng used to work as patrol officers under me, so they are very familiar with the local situation. If you entrust them with any task, they will definitely handle it without any problems!"

Seeing that these people were all very capable, Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Has Da Tou explained everything?"

The group quickly nodded in agreement. The opportunity to work for this powerful figure was an extremely rare chance. Look at Liu Datong—he only rose through the ranks in just over twenty days because he caught his eye, transforming himself from a lowly patrolman into a leading figure in the police station. If they performed well, their future would be incredibly bright!

"Alright, to make a long story short, I want to emphasize that, unlike the public security cases you've dealt with in the past, the cases handled by our military intelligence department are all major and important cases, and all operations must be kept absolutely confidential."

Don't tell your parents, or your wife and children! You must keep your mouth shut, otherwise, if anyone leaks the information, they will bear the consequences!

I will personally lead this operation. Liu Yong, you will be in charge of arranging the rickshaws. Have all the rickshaw drivers been selected?

Under Ning Zhiheng's gaze, Liu Yong tensed up. For some reason, he always felt inexplicably nervous in front of this Commander Ning, as if there was always an invisible pressure on him.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "They've all been chosen. There are seventeen in total, and none of them are bachelors. They're all locals with families. They know the area well and keep their mouths shut. I've specifically instructed them not to say anything that might cause trouble!"

"They are the pillars of their families, and the whole family depends on them to make a living every day. This operation will last for a long time."

In this way, each person receives two yuan per day, with a hefty reward for any significant meritorious service.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong said happily, "Commander Ning, you are very thoughtful. However, this subsidy is too heavy. It would be enough to just give it to a few of them. They can only earn a few copper coins after working all day."

Ning Zhiheng's reward was indeed substantial. A rickshaw puller could earn less than a dollar a day, maybe a few dozen copper coins at most. However, Ning Zhiheng was now quite wealthy and didn't care about such a small amount of money.

Ning Zhiheng discussed the details with everyone before they dispersed.

Although Lin Mucheng was the eldest son in his family, he did not get married, which was quite rare in the Republic of China era.

She didn't live with her father; instead, she lived alone in a separate courtyard in the north of Jinling City. It was two blocks away from Beihua Street, not too far.

Early in the morning, after washing up, he packed his briefcase and checked his belongings. He is a very meticulous and self-disciplined person. He does everything in a very organized and unhurried manner!

He went out to work at the division headquarters as usual. The Fourth Division headquarters was quite a distance from his residence, and he was used to taking a rickshaw to and from get off work every day.

Upon exiting the door, I saw several rickshaw drivers waiting to pick up passengers at the street corner. I habitually waved to them, and at that moment, a driver who had been waiting for a long time rushed over with his rickshaw as quickly as possible.

"Sir, where are you going?" the coachman asked solicitously.

This rickshaw driver was in his thirties, with dark yellow skin, and wrinkles prematurely appeared on his face from years of hard work.

Every time Lin Mucheng saw these laborers living at the bottom of society, he felt a pang of sympathy. He would always pay a little more for their fare, after all, that was all he could do. There were so many poor people, how many could he help?
