In recent years, Huang Xianzheng has been focusing on developing his own power and constantly expanding the Baoding faction's strength, but in principle, they must be graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy; otherwise, the Chief of Staff would not allow him to do so.
It was against this backdrop that Ning Zhiheng joined the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Huang Xianzheng had many talented people with similar backgrounds to Ning Zhiheng under his command. He was planning to use Ning Zhiheng's promotion to fill the surplus positions for some of his subordinates. Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiheng took the initiative to come to him to ask for people. He was very happy and nodded to himself. This Ning Zhiheng was very shrewd and knew how to get along with people!
Ning Zhiheng also had his own ideas. He knew that he didn't have many people under his command. When there were extra positions, various forces would try to infiltrate them and place their own people in them. Given his current position, it would be difficult for him to prevent these things from happening.
At that point, even I wouldn't dare to easily touch these people, otherwise I would incur the wrath of the people behind them.
Of course, Ning Zhiheng had his own confidence and was not afraid of offending others, but this was not the best approach.
The best way is to rely on Huang Xianzheng, the powerful figure behind him, and use his strength to keep other forces out.
At the very least, Huang Xianzheng's subordinates are from the same faction as himself, which can ensure that they don't have any ulterior motives and will be easier to use.
Once you're branded as a member of an organization or faction, it's very difficult to do anything that goes against the organization's interests. If you do, it's hard for your own people to accept you, and it's also hard for your enemies to trust you. No one will trust a traitor.
"Then I will follow your arrangements, Chief!" Ning Zhiheng agreed.
After leaving Huang Xianzheng's office, Ning Zhiheng rushed to the police station's detention center. He had been busy these past two days and didn't know how Sun Jiacheng's interrogation of Dai Daguang was going.
With the case nearing its conclusion, Dai Daguang, as one of the key criminals in this case, cannot remain detained in the detention center indefinitely; this is not in accordance with regulations.
Ning Zhiheng decided that Sun Jiacheng had to complete the interrogation of Dai Daguang before transferring him back to the interrogation section of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
Upon arriving at the detention center, two members of the operation were smoking and chatting at the entrance. When they saw Ning Zhiheng arrive, they quickly came to greet him.
"Where is Deputy Captain Sun?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
"Just got back. They're interrogating Dai Daguang inside right now. That kid's not honest. He's like toothpaste; he won't talk unless you hit him, but he'll talk a little bit after you hit him! Captain Sun's furious. He's going to teach him a lesson this time!" one of the team members replied.
Ning Zhiheng frowned after hearing this. He walked quickly toward the interrogation room and could hear Dai Daguang's shrill screams from afar.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Lao Liao knew that Commander Ning had arrived. Not daring to delay, he rushed over as well.
"Commander Ning, you've arrived!" Old Liao said hurriedly and eagerly.
"Don't bother me, I'll call you if I need anything!" Ning Zhiheng waved to send Lao Liao away.
"Go and call Sun Jiacheng to the office! I have something to ask him," Ning Zhiheng instructed one of his team members.
He couldn't be bothered to watch the torture of Dai Daguang. He left these matters to Sun Jiacheng and wouldn't interfere. If he had to do everything himself, what would be the point of having subordinates?
Sun Jiacheng arrived quickly and saw Ning Zhiheng sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, resting.
"How's Dai Daguang's confession going?" Ning Zhiheng asked in a deep voice.
“You were absolutely right. This kid is definitely not honest. He has a lot of money in his hands, he’s a real cash cow, but he just won’t let go. Every time I torture him, he’ll spit out a little bit. This time I’m going to skin him alive. I don’t believe this bastard would rather have money than his life!” Sun Jiacheng said through gritted teeth. He was a seasoned veteran, and he could see right through Dai Daguang’s thoughts.
“This Dai Daguang still clings to a sliver of hope, always thinking he can get out and trying to make a living off that little bit of money!” Ning Zhiheng opened his eyes, a cold glint in them. “So far, what has he confessed?”
“He confessed that there was cash and gold in the safe at home, as well as the land deed and documents for the trading company, and two safes in the bank,” Sun Jiacheng replied. “But I think there must be something else he’s hiding. People like them who are involved in the underworld are bound to have old enemies. To prevent any unforeseen disasters, it’s common for them to have multiple escape routes. He wouldn’t have been unprepared!”
“Then let’s hurry. By the way, let me give you an update on the case. Last night, following Tian Liqun’s lead, we finally arrested his superior and seized a radio and a codebook. The director and section chief are very satisfied. The case is now in its final stages. Dai Daguang, as Su Yu’s subordinate, should also be brought to justice as soon as possible!” Ning Zhiheng said, giving Sun Jiacheng a brief overview of the situation.
"So before we hand him over to the interrogation department, we have to settle all the loose ends, otherwise if we don't do it, someone else will get the job!"
After listening to Ning Zhiheng's account, Sun Jiacheng was overjoyed. The operation was a success, and the captain would definitely deserve the credit. With his powerful connections and great achievements, he would soon be promoted again.
The captain is getting benefits, and I'm getting promoted too, which is a great thing.
"Understood, Captain. Don't worry, I will definitely speed up the interrogation!" Sun Jiacheng assured him repeatedly.
"Wait!" Ning Zhiheng stood up and paced back and forth a few steps. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said, "Don't rush the interrogation. The director has already ordered Su Yu's arrest, and we're not worried about Dai Daguang's case being exposed. I'll send people over for you immediately. As an investigator from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, you will seal off Dai Daguang's house and trading company, and seize his bank safe deposit box. Be quick and collect all the cash and gold bars. I need them in the next couple of days!"
