The phone rang and was answered almost immediately.
"Hello, this is Yan Bin from the Liaoning Provincial Military Sub-district. I'm looking for Lieutenant General Sun."
When he spoke again, Sun Wu had already answered the phone.
"General Sun, now that the mission is complete, all the prisoners are being held in our military region. When would be a good time to schedule the interrogation?"
If Lieutenant General Sun had not said he wanted to participate in the interrogation, he could have done things his own way.
However, judging from Ji Heng's words, Lieutenant General Sun clearly wanted to sit in on the interrogation, so he had to ask for permission first before setting a time.
To his surprise, Sun Wu did not answer immediately, but instead asked him, "I heard that you had Shen Mu Ning participate in the interrogation process as well?"
Yan Bin was unaware of his other intentions, and simply assumed that he felt it was inappropriate for Comrade Xiao Shen, given his status, to participate in military affairs.
But when he received Chu Mingxu's call and learned that there was such a young comrade providing them with intelligence...
They arranged for someone to investigate her background and were quite certain that her identity was not in question.
In addition, her ability to hypnotize makes the interrogation process much more efficient.
That's why I agreed to let her participate.
Thinking this, he answered truthfully, "Yes, Lieutenant General Sun."
“This young lady is very capable, and her identity is also legitimate. I was planning to recruit her.”
This was an idea I'd had for a while, after all, she not only had the special ability to hypnotize, but she was also incredibly skilled.
If someone like that joined the army, the soldiers would benefit immensely from learning a few tricks from her.
Fearing that Lieutenant General Sun would still disagree, he specifically pointed out Shen Mu Ning's status as a martyr's family member.
And he praised the person highly in front of him.
"The young girl is a martyr's family member and is extremely capable, which is why I thought that way."
At that moment, he was unaware that Sun Wu on the other end of the phone was wearing a proud smile.
Although his identity has not yet been confirmed, Shen Mu Ning's mother shares his surname, has similar features, and possesses the same strength as him.
Although he said he would take another look, he couldn't help but feel proud when he heard someone praise her like that.
After all, he was a junior member of the family, and he was indeed very proud to be praised.
However, if he hears that Yan Bin wants to recruit him, then he will stop him.
"Yes, I know that girl. Are you sure when she'll be free to come? Let's arrange it for that time!"
"However, we should reconsider her enlistment."
If she were truly one of his own juniors, how could he bear to let a fair-skinned young girl suffer in the army?
Even if she wanted to join the army, it would be more appropriate to keep her under my watchful eye.
There's no way we'd let that old bastard Yan Bin snatch her away.
“I asked her before, and she took some time off recently, so she has time.”
"But since she's not a member of the military, it's not appropriate for her to make her connections with the military public."
"So I'm thinking of sending her the message tomorrow and then picking her up first thing the day after tomorrow."
He felt a little aggrieved by what he said. If Shen Mu Ning were a member of the military, there would be no need for such trouble.
Of course, the reason he is doing this now is simply because the man named Zhu Yang, whom he had previously captured, died in the military prison.
His death was extremely gruesome; tests revealed that he died from a poison.
Although the army's medics had never seen this poison before, research revealed that it was a slow-acting poison.
He believed that after taking it, he would need to take one dose of medication daily to suppress the toxicity.
If the antidote is not taken within the specified time, the person who ingested the poison will undoubtedly die.
Zhu Yang was a sent-down youth in Xinshan Brigade, and it's unknown whether Xinshan Brigade has any other secrets.
It's just that when they interrogated Zhu Yang, it went too smoothly, so they kept digging deeper.
I had originally planned to try out Shen Mu Ning's hypnosis skills after she came.
Who would have thought that this person would die this morning?
Judging from this, there might be other members in this organization in the Xinshan Brigade, and he doesn't want Shen Mu Ning to be exposed.
"Yes, you've made excellent arrangements. I'll arrive tomorrow!"
Sun Wu was also eager to see Shen Mu Ning, after Yan Bin told him his arrangements.
He immediately arranged his itinerary—to go to the Liaoning Provincial Military Sub-district tomorrow.
"Yes." Yan Bin saluted and then hung up the phone.
Ji Heng heard everything clearly, so he naturally knew that Lieutenant General Sun did not object to Shen Mu Ning's participation in the interrogation.
That must mean that the higher-ups have investigated her identity and know who she is.
That put his mind at ease.
After handing Yan Bin a glass of water, he discussed with him the arrangements for when Sun Zhongjiang arrived the next day.
"Old Yan, when General Sun arrives, arrange for him to stay in this dormitory."
“This place is close to us, and it’s newly built and not yet in use.”
Since he reported last night that Lieutenant General Sun was coming to the Liaoning Provincial Military Sub-district, he had arranged for someone to clean the dormitory.
Seeing that this was pointless, Yan Bin simply nodded and told him to let him make the arrangements.
But then she turned around and started discussing Zhu Yang with him.
"Old Ji, Zhu Yang's death is truly suspicious." He only heard about this after he returned.
Although he was busy reviewing the statements handed over by the navy, he couldn't put this matter aside.
Just now, when he mentioned bringing Shen Mu Ning here to participate in the interrogation, he suddenly remembered that the place where Zhu Yang went to the countryside was Xinshan Brigade.
However, they did not know whether the organization was only plotting the sale of cultural relics.
If there are other conspiracies, they must have far-reaching implications.
Moreover, there might be other henchmen of this organization in the Johor Bahru brigade, which is why he didn't want to expose Shen Mu Ning's connection with the military.
As long as she remains undetected, she will be essentially an undercover agent planted by the military in the Johor Bahru brigade.
Given her keen senses, she wouldn't miss even the slightest disturbance.
"Well, it's just a pity that we couldn't get any valuable clues out of him."
After all, in their view, Zhu Yang really only did what he said he would do.
The person behind the scenes wouldn't need to use poison to control his life.
Only a grander conspiracy would warrant such elaborate planning.
"Hmm, so who should we arrange to inform Shen Mu Ning?"
"No need to rack your brains like that. As long as our people avoid being seen, they can leave her a little note in her room."
Shen Mu Ning had previously worried that they might have news to share with her, so she specifically mentioned that she lived alone.
They were even told the location of the room.
When Yan Bin heard Xiao Pan say this upon her return, he didn't know her intentions.
Now it seems she had anticipated this situation, where it wouldn't be appropriate to announce it to her in a high-profile manner.
All they need to do is put the message they want to send in her room.
"That's true, then let's arrange for Xiao Pan to make the trip!"
Anyway, he was the one who picked up and dropped off Shen Mu Ning before, so he knew the exact location of the Xinshan Brigade.
Although he hadn't accompanied any important figures on missions, he should still be able to deliver the message without the help of the main group.
