Early the next morning, Ning Zhiheng arrived at the Military Intelligence Investigation Department to allocate manpower. He wanted to make arrangements to conduct a comprehensive investigation and surveillance of Su Yu.
Everything proceeded as before. Some of the peripheral personnel were mobilized, and ten clever rickshaw pullers were transferred from Liu Yong. Ning Zhiheng, along with Shi Hong, Sun Jiacheng, and ten action team members, were tasked with monitoring Su Yu. Wang Shucheng and the other team members were to remain at home, ready to receive Ning Zhiheng's orders.
Ning Zhiheng first went to the surveillance point at the Minsheng Daily office and met with Shao Wenguang to find out about the surveillance of Tian Liqun!
"Tian Liqun's life is still very regular, working from nine to five. We tracked him to his residence and set up a surveillance point near his home. He is currently working at the newspaper office, and we have not found anything unusual so far!"
However, I discovered that he has excellent counter-surveillance skills and is a very cautious person. If I hadn't been well prepared yesterday, I almost woke him up! Therefore, we can't get too close to him when monitoring him." Shao Wenguang briefly explained the situation.
After saying that, he looked at Ning Zhiheng and asked, "Any progress on your end?"
Ning Zhiheng smiled and nodded, saying, "The operation went very smoothly and yielded fruitful results. We spent the afternoon capturing a few subordinates and finding a main target!"
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Shao Wenguang's interest was immediately piqued: "Tell me about it carefully!"
Ning Zhiheng then told Shao Wenguang the details of yesterday's operation in detail, especially the exciting parts, which made Shao Wenguang applaud!
Shao Wenguang gave Ning Zhiheng a thumbs up and said, "Zhiheng, well done! Team Leader Wei once said that you were born for this job! You calculated every step so precisely! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "Old Shao, you flatter me too much! You debuted early and have a lot of experience. My senior brother once said that you taught him a lot back then, but he was delayed. He has always told me to learn from you!"
Shao Wenguang felt a little sad upon hearing this. He said helplessly, "The team leader is exaggerating. I was his deputy back then, so of course I had to cooperate fully. He's a sentimental person!"
"Zhiheng, I was just unlucky. I offended someone and had a run of bad luck, so I was kicked out. If it weren't for your senior brother, Team Leader Wei, I'd still be feeding mosquitoes in Guangxi right now!"
Then he looked at Ning Zhiheng sincerely and said, "Zhiheng, I really envy you and Team Leader Wei. You are both genuine disciples of the Emperor, young and promising, in the prime of your lives, with connections and abilities. You will definitely have a bright future. When you achieve great success, don't forget your old brother!"
Shao Wenguang had not had a smooth life in the past few years. He had a lot of skills but no opportunity to use them. He wasted his time and was still a captain. His sharp edges had long been worn down by the bumpy years. Now he had lost his vigor. Seeing the dashing Ning Zhiheng, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional!
“Old Shao, you’re too downcast. If we can crack another major Japanese spy case this time, my senior brother and I will do our best to ensure your promotion. With your qualifications, you should have been promoted to colonel-level officer long ago.” Ning Zhiheng reached out and patted Shao Wenguang on the shoulder, comforting him.
"You've got heart! I hope your words are auspicious. If your wish comes true, I'll follow your lead from now on!" Shao Wenguang said, holding Ning Zhiheng's hand tightly.
Ning Zhiheng and Shao Wenguang talked for a while, exchanging information about their respective situations. Then, Ning Zhiheng headed to Su Yu's workplace, the Planning Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
At this moment, Liu Datong, along with Wen Xingsheng, Gong Ji'an, and several plainclothes officers, had been waiting nearby. Upon seeing Ning Zhiheng, they quickly came to greet him.
Ning Zhiheng said, “Everything will proceed according to the usual procedures; this isn’t your first time doing this! Set up surveillance points nearby, don’t be afraid to spend money. They must be able to monitor Su Yu’s route into the unit at all times, and also set up surveillance points near his residence. Liu Yong is busy cooperating with Lao Shao to monitor Tian Liqun and can’t get away. Wen Xingsheng will be in charge of the allocation of rickshaw drivers here, and Gong Ji’an will be in charge of communication! Hong Ge and I will be in charge of the central command, and we will report any situation immediately! In short, I want to cast a net around Su Yu. As long as he leaves this gate, I want to know his every move! Do you understand?”
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison, and each took their orders and made their own arrangements. Soon, Liu Datong found a surveillance point and located a two-story room nearby. After Ning Zhiheng and the others entered and inspected the area, they were able to observe the main entrance of Su Yu's unit!
Unfortunately, it was impossible to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for observation, so there were still loopholes in the surveillance of Su Yu. However, there was nothing that could be done, as Ning Zhiheng's authority was insufficient to do so.
This is one of the reasons why he had to report the situation. Only the higher-ups in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department have the authority to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and plant spies to monitor the entire process!
At this moment, Sun Jiacheng came in, handed a piece of paper to Ning Zhiheng, and reported: "Captain, this is some preliminary information we have gathered."
"That's all?" Ning Zhiheng took the paper and looked at the contents, which were just some of Su Yu's personal information, all of which was public information. The content was very little, just a few lines.
"That's all. These are some details I managed to find out indirectly. If we want to find more specific information, we'll need to apply for procedures and access his files, but that would easily alert him. I—!" Sun Jiacheng explained.
Ning Zhiheng understood what he meant, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll report back to my superiors and then decide what to do!"
"Did Su Yu return from studying in Japan?" Ning Zhiheng looked at the contents in his hand and suddenly found some interesting information!
