Among Ning Zhiheng's men, Sun Jiacheng was naturally his first choice. He was now his most trusted confidant, a talent he had personally promoted. He was skilled and loyal, and Ning Zhiheng was determined to take him with him.
Wang Shucheng is also very obedient to me and always follows my lead. He is considered my confidant. He has made many contributions in recent times and has been commended multiple times. If I do some more work this time, I can promote him to the rank of second lieutenant and take him to take charge of an action team leader position. That should be possible!
Zhao Jiang, one of the action team members, was someone I always found easy to use. The main reason was that he was very clever and could understand Ning Zhiheng's intentions very well. This time, I could take the opportunity to recommend him for merit, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to be promoted to second lieutenant. Then, I could give him the position of deputy captain.
As for Shi Hong, forget about him. Although he is obedient to me, he is a confidant of my senior brother Wei Liangbi and will definitely not go with me.
However, this is already quite good. Xiang Yan's willingness to make this promise to him is already a great honor for him.
"Section Chief, you're really thinking of me. To be honest, I'm short-staffed and only have a few trustworthy people. If I'm promoted to a commanding officer this time, I was really thinking of taking them with me. Now that you've said that, I feel relieved!"
Xiang Yan is a colonel and deputy section chief. He has complete control over the transfer of several junior officers. This time, he took the initiative to show goodwill to Ning Zhiheng, who is still a captain. This shows Ning Zhiheng's position in his heart.
Xiang Yan could already foresee that Ning Zhiheng's future development was limitless, so it was only natural to try to win him over.
Xiang Yan smiled and said, "These are all minor matters. If you need anything in the future, you can just tell me!"
Ning Zhiheng said happily, "Thank you for your care, Section Chief. I will always remember it!"
The two exchanged a smile, their relationship growing even closer. At this moment, Xiang Yancai said, "Of all my men, Guo Xueyi has been with me the longest. He's been with me since 1922, serving me faithfully and enduring a lot of hardship. But he's been unlucky; over the years, due to various circumstances, he's always missed out on a commanding position. Now, in his middle age, he's still just a major. I'm wondering if I can help him advance further this time, otherwise, he might not have such a good opportunity next time!"
Ning Zhiheng then realized that Xiang Yan's long and roundabout way of showing goodwill to him, a captain, was not only because he valued his potential, but also primarily for Guo Xueyi's sake.
“Of course, Major Guo is experienced, shrewd and capable, and should have been promoted long ago. I, Zhiheng, will obey the section chief’s orders and follow his arrangements!” Ning Zhiheng quickly replied.
He was also worldly-wise and understood Xiang Yan's plan: to manipulate the case report to promote Guo Xueyi and to try to win him, his old subordinate, another victory.
Just like Wei Liangbi before, in the Shadow Spy Group's case report, Shi Hong was given special mention. He had done his homework and finally successfully promoted Shi Hong to a higher level, saving him several years of hard work to gain seniority!
Another reason is that this opportunity is too rare. If we miss it, we don't know when we will be able to catch such a good opportunity again!
Ning Zhiheng had already gotten what he needed, and any further credit wouldn't be of much help to him. Being kind to others was being kind to himself, so why not do a favor? Besides, even if he objected, what difference would it make? Xiang Yan was the colonel in charge of the work, and in the end, it was still up to him to make the decision.
If Ning Zhiheng hadn't been highly regarded by the section chief and department head Zhao Ziliang, and if Xiang Yan hadn't wanted Ning Zhiheng to harbor resentment, Xiang Yan wouldn't have needed to make this request at all if it were anyone else.
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Xiang Yan was very happy. What was most commendable about Ning Zhiheng was not his meticulousness or his superb crime-solving skills.
Instead, although he is young and has a powerful background, he has no arrogance whatsoever. He is meticulous in his work, thoughtful, and knows how to blend in with the world, so he will not put himself in a difficult position!
Xiang Yan slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll call Guo Xueyi right now and order him to arrest Tian Liqun immediately. Tian Liqun's identity is special, and being able to arrest him personally is a commendable achievement!"
Guo Xueyi and Kang Shundong have been monitoring Tian Liqun since last night, and they have enough people around them, making them the most suitable personnel to carry out the arrest operation.
Xiang Yan had done his homework beforehand to prevent Ning Zhiheng from interfering. He feared Ning Zhiheng would be too eager for credit and interfere with the capture operation. After all, Tian Liqun was a confirmed target, and in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, interfering and stealing others' achievements was strictly forbidden—it would be met with contempt from everyone! Even Xiang Yan couldn't openly do such a thing! Therefore, he needed to communicate effectively with Ning Zhiheng.
Seeing Ning Zhiheng's attitude, Xiang Yan understood the situation. He picked up the phone and notified the surveillance point at the Minsheng Daily. At this time, Tian Liqun should already be at work at the Minsheng Daily!
"Xueyi? The Chief has instructed us to arrest Tian Liqun immediately! Yes, yes, don't hold back! Be careful and make sure everything goes smoothly! I'll be waiting for your good news!" Xiang Yan gave the instructions carefully before hanging up the phone.
Then he picked it up again and called Shi Hong and Chu Guang, ordering them to arrest Su Yu. This time, the three men he brought with him could all get some credit for the arrest of Tian Liqun and Su Yu. It can be said that their hard work over the past few days was not in vain, and they all benefited in the end!
Ning Zhiheng looked at Yan Du, who had finished making arrangements, and knew that he didn't have any tasks for the time being. Meng Lesheng, whom he had just captured, had just been out of danger and was not in a good physical condition to be interrogated or forced to confess. There was nothing he could do at the moment.
