After giving his instructions, Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone go back and prepare. Shen Xiang, stay behind!"
Ji Hongyi and Zuo Qiang bowed and withdrew, leaving only Shen Xiang behind. He knew that the director must have an important task to assign, so he stood bowing and waited quietly for Ning Zhiheng's instructions.
Ning Zhiheng asked, "You've been in Hong Kong for so long, how much do you know about the local triad, Fuk Hing Shan?"
"Fuxing Mountain?"
Shen Xiang recalled for a moment and then said, "Nowadays, most of the gangs in Hong Kong have the character '和' in their names, and there aren't many gangs with the character '福' in their names. Any gang with the character '福' in their name is one of the earliest established gang organizations in Hong Kong. Fu Xing Shan is one of them. It is said that it was originally an organization responsible for raising funds for the Hongmen. Now it is relatively low-key and generally does not participate in gang activities. However, it is tightly organized, has abundant financial resources, and has a very high status in the Hongmen."
The largest secret societies in China are the Hongmen, the Green Gang, and the Paoge Society. Among them, the Paoge Society is mainly based in southwestern China, primarily in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
The Green Gang was mainly concentrated in East China, especially in the Shanghai area, which was entirely within its sphere of influence.
However, the Hongmen is different. Although it has a close relationship with the Green Gang and there is a saying that "the Green Gang and the Hongmen are one family," the Hongmen has long surpassed the Green Gang in scale. Therefore, it is often said in the underworld that "the Green Gang is one line, the Hongmen is a vast area."
Moreover, the two are fundamentally different. First of all, the Green Gang did not have a clear political stance. They were originally composed of ordinary people who only sought to make a living. At the beginning of their establishment, they were just trying to stick together and find room to survive.
However, the Hongmen takes it upon itself to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming, and its founders are all former Ming patriots with lofty ambitions. This determines that the Hongmen's scope is far greater than that of the Green Gang, and its development potential is also beyond the reach of the Green Gang.
As a result, in modern times, the Hongmen organization was present in South China, Hong Kong, and especially overseas Chinese gangs. Even former leaders of the Kuomintang were overseas Hongmen disciples, which shows how influential the Hongmen was.
The triads in Hong Kong today are all branches of the Hung Society, with the Fuk-character name having the longest history. However, most of them have disappeared by now, and Fuk Hing Shan is one of the few remaining old brands.
Have you heard of Wu Chenghong, the leader of Fuxing Mountain?
"I've heard of him. He's a senior figure in all the major gangs in Hong Kong, highly respected, a famous big shot, with a very high status and a lot of influence. Everyone has to give him face."
Moreover, I heard he was a long-time member of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance), who made significant contributions to the Party and the country, and had close ties with many political figures in the country. He's quite a character!
As expected, Ning Zhiheng nodded to himself. In this chaotic world, how could Yong Feng, a woman, possibly control such a large situation and achieve such success?
Leaving aside Yong Feng, every top intelligence dealer in the intelligence market has their own background and power behind them, and none of them are easy to deal with.
Ultimately, Yong Feng relied on her father's influence. As for whether Wu Chenghong was involved, and whether there were other forces behind him, that remains unknown.
Ning Zhiheng instructed, "Just hearing about it won't do. Investigate Wu Chenghong's background and network of connections in secret, focusing on his connections in South China. The more detailed the better, especially his daughter, Wu Yuanying."
"Wu Yuanying?" Shen Xiang looked at Ning Zhiheng with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, this woman’s identity is extraordinary; she is Yong Feng,” Ning Zhiheng said.
"What? Wu Yuanying is Yong Feng?" Shen Xiang said in surprise.
"I plan to get to know him better and see if he can be of use to us," Ning Zhiheng nodded and said definitively.
"Yes, I understand!" Shen Xiang nodded and accepted the order.
"Remember, this must be done secretly. Yong Feng's identity should only be known to you and must never be revealed."
"Please rest assured, Director!" Shen Xiang nodded solemnly.
At the entrance of the Hong Kong shipping company, Sandra led a team of intelligence agents out. The group got into a car, and Sandra leaned back in the back seat, looking dejected. She closed her eyes slightly, carefully thinking about everything that had happened.
She had personally seen Scott store the engine blueprints in a safe in a military headquarters, the location of the intelligence department, a heavily guarded area where outsiders could never enter.
Moreover, the safe was the highest-end model, without a combination or key, making it impossible to open unless forced by force.
So Sandra was certain that Scott had taken the engine blueprints with him, but why would Scott do that?
Of course, there were ulterior motives. This was clearly Scott embezzling from his own post, and now he has suddenly disappeared. All of this indicates that there is something wrong with Scott himself.
I never imagined that the person I relied on as my right-hand man would be the mole.
But if Scott really was the mole, there was no need to make it so obvious. According to the investigation just now, Scott went to the shipping company early in the morning and booked twenty tickets to London. In other words, he was preparing to escort his team and the blueprints back to London. If he really wanted to escape, there would be no need to book tickets.
Furthermore, even if the goal was to steal the blueprints, there was no need to take the original microfilm. A copy would suffice. After all, Scott himself kept the original film, and making a copy would be no problem at all. This way, no one would be aware of the situation. Why take the original film and expose oneself?
All of this was inexplicable, and Sandra became more and more confused. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: copying microfilm?
