Chapter 121 The New Bitter Spring



The next step, of course, is to monitor Su Yu. If a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is arrested rashly and something goes wrong, or if there is insufficient evidence, it would be troublesome for Ning Zhiheng, a mere captain in the military intelligence department, to be blamed for this!

Even if he has the background of being a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy and a member of the Baoding faction, the higher-ups will not hold him accountable, but they will still make him look bad!

It seems I have to report this. I need to rely on the privileges of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department to protect my interests while taking the next step, so as to ensure that I am in an invincible position!

As for taking all the credit for himself, Ning Zhiheng never thought of that. At the very least, his senior brother Wei Liangbi should share some of the credit, even though this credit is not very useful to Wei Liangbi at this stage, since he has just been promoted to lieutenant colonel.

Just like the last time I busted the Shadow Spy Group, I'll definitely get the first credit. After that, when other departments get involved, how the credit is distributed won't be my concern anymore.

After considering all the matters, Ning Zhiheng left the Military Intelligence Investigation Department and rushed home to rest.

Meanwhile, in a secluded basement in the south of the city, Professor Fang Boyi of Jinling University was sitting opposite a middle-aged man.

This man was none other than the one who had been trapped on North Street with Zheng Dayou this afternoon. However, he had cleaned himself up, changed his clothes, and was now wearing gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a completely different air.

"Old Cheng, the organization has clearly explained the mission to you in Nanjing this time, right?" Fang Boyi said.

Cheng Xingye nodded and said, "Everything has been explained. My task is to take over from Comrade Kuquan and lead and organize the work on the Nanjing underground pharmaceutical front again! I feel a heavy burden on my shoulders! I'm worried about failing the organization's trust!"

"Yes! You were appointed to this critical mission! This time, due to the betrayal of a traitor, Comrade Kuquan's identity has been exposed, and the enemy has a very clear understanding of his situation. After organizational research, it has been decided that he is no longer suitable to carry out underground work in Nanjing, and he has now been safely evacuated."

"Your family has been practicing medicine for generations, and you yourself are a master of traditional Chinese medicine. You also have extensive experience in underground work and a deep understanding of the pharmaceutical industry. That's why the organization chose you to take over his work!" Fang Boyi explained again.

Cheng Xingye thought for a moment and then asked, "I know that the work of those working in Nanjing is much more difficult than that of those working in other regions, and I am mentally prepared for that!"

Now that I've taken over this front, I'd like to ask if any of the other comrades on this front have been exposed?

Fang Boyi breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with a hint of relief, and said, "Fortunately, the traitor was someone close to Kuquan, not one of our members, so he didn't know anything about the other comrades on this front. Fortunately, we responded in time and managed to control the traitor, preventing greater losses!"

"Where is this traitor now?" Cheng Guangye asked.

"After the interrogation, it has been cleared! It was carried out personally by Comrade Kuquan, which was also his request!" Fang Boyi sighed and said slowly.

"In other words, this pharmaceutical production line is now intact and can be put back into operation immediately?" Cheng Xingye said happily.

The situation was much better than he had expected. In his original plan, the exposure of a comrade with such a high level of secrecy as Kuquan must have meant that the organization had suffered serious damage.

Unexpectedly, the problem arose right next to Kuquan. However, the Nanjing underground party members reacted quickly and decisively, cutting off the source of the danger and managing to escape this ordeal without serious harm.

"Yes, all the other comrades survived. Otherwise, this entire pharmaceutical front, built with countless efforts and lives, would have suffered a devastating blow, and the entire Nanjing underground organization would have been destroyed. The consequences would have been unimaginable." Fang Boyi still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it. This was the most dangerous time he had ever been in charge of the Nanjing underground work, a brush with death. "This time it was truly fortunate that our comrades received the news in a very timely manner. If the rescue operation had been twenty minutes later, we might not be meeting here now!"

"So, we also have sources of information within the enemy's ranks. This will make our future operations much safer!" Cheng Xingye sensed something in Fang Boyi's words and couldn't help but ask.

Fang Boyi suddenly realized that his words had revealed some information. However, Cheng Xingye was also a member of the provincial party committee and had a high level of organizational authority, so it was difficult to hide some things from him.

"The news was indeed obtained and passed on by one of our comrades at great risk, and he single-handedly saved Comrade Kuquan. It can be said that our organization's safe escape this time is entirely due to his efforts!" Fang Boyi said with emotion. "However, Lao Cheng, this comrade's identity is top secret. Although you are a member of the Provincial Party Committee, due to organizational discipline, I still cannot inform you of his situation! Please understand!"

Cheng Xingye regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. He was also a veteran underground party member, and it was inappropriate for him to ask such a question.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Qingshan, I spoke without thinking. I understand that organizational discipline cannot be relaxed for a moment!" Cheng Xingye quickly explained. "However, I have something I'd like to ask you about!"

"What's going on?" Fang Boyi asked.

“This afternoon, when Comrade Zheng Dayou was helping me into the city, we happened to run into a large-scale enemy search, which blocked the streets and set up checkpoints. Comrade Zheng Dayou and I were trapped inside. What was even more dangerous was that a police chief was an experienced officer who saw through my disguise and arrested both of us!” Cheng Xingye said.
