"Understood, I will definitely not mention this matter to anyone again, please rest assured, team leader!" Du Qian quickly assured him again.
With Ning Zhiheng's permission, Du Qian became his disciple and thus became Ning's henchman. He felt an unprecedented sense of security and left Ning Zhiheng's office with great joy!
After Du Qian left, Ning Zhiheng sat in his chair, deep in thought.
Wan Huarong, the owner of Hengfeng Trading Company! Is this person a member of the underground Communist Party? Ning Zhiheng wondered to himself!
Previously, Wu Quanjiang had always been the one to contact Du Qian regarding this drug transport route. The underground party would not have arranged for two people to be on the same transport route, as it would be unsafe and would require giving Du Qian two separate benefits. It is estimated that the underground party's financial resources were not so extravagant as to do so.
Ning Zhiheng is more inclined to believe that after Wu Quanjiang was exposed, the drug transport line was forced to be cut off. However, Kangyuankou and Qiaoshuiwan checkpoints were the only way to transport drugs, and it was impossible to bypass Du Qian. Therefore, in order to reopen the transport line, the underground party used Wan Huarong, the owner of Hengfeng Trading Company, to mix the drugs with his goods and transport them out of Nanjing!
However, if that's the case, then there's the added uncertainty of Wan Huarong. After all, he's not one of our comrades, and if something happens to Wan Huarong, there's still a risk of exposure. It seems that this is a temporary expedient measure used by the underground party out of desperation, as they are unable to rebuild their own drug transportation line in the short term.
However, this was just Ning Zhiheng's guess. He would have to carefully verify his judgment in future actions!
It seems we must put Wan Huarong under surveillance. This matter concerns the underground party organization and must be kept extremely secret.
Who should I entrust this task to? Ning Zhiheng was quite troubled!
His forces are now basically divided into three parts. The most powerful one is naturally his own Fourth Action Group, consisting of twelve officers from the Whampoa and Baoding cliques and one hundred and twenty elite soldiers selected from the military.
However, this capability can only be used to deal with Japanese spies or to carry out missions assigned by the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
Using them to monitor the underground party is something only someone who has lost their mind would do!
There is also the peripheral force led by Liu Datong. This force can provide more information and clues, and can also cooperate with his action group to complete some auxiliary tasks. However, these people are now known to everyone, and with Liu Datong spreading rumors that he is Ning Zhiheng's subordinate, there is no secrecy to speak of anymore!
The third-party force is the three Zuo siblings who were just subdued. These three have pledged allegiance to Ning Zhiheng, and so far only Ning Zhiheng's most trusted confidant, Sun Jiacheng, knows about it. They can be said to be Ning Zhiheng's most secretive force. Moreover, the three siblings are skilled in martial arts, and Zuo Rou is also good at disguise. They are all experts in action!
It seems that the investigation into the underground party should still be handed over to the three Zuo siblings.
Just as he was weighing the options, the phone on his desk rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Liu Datong calling.
"Team leader, this is Da Tou!" Liu Datong said respectfully.
A few days ago, Ning Zhiheng held a grand banquet to celebrate his promotion. Liu Datong, as Ning Zhiheng's earliest follower, was naturally invited and had to attend.
When he learned that Commander Ning had been promoted again, he felt as if he were floating in a fog, so light and unreal.
When he first met Ning Zhiheng six months ago, Ning was just a second lieutenant. But in just six months, Ning had been promoted three ranks and transformed into a highly sought-after figure in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
As one of Ning Zhiheng's earliest followers, he was naturally very excited. Commander Ning was a man of great loyalty and righteousness. As long as he stayed close and didn't fall behind, a bright future was within his grasp.
He no longer addresses Ning Zhiheng as "Commander Ning," as that sounds somewhat distant. Instead, he directly calls Ning Zhiheng "Team Leader" to show that he has always maintained a close relationship with Ning Zhiheng as his subordinate.
It's just that Commander Ning's status changed too quickly. I used to dare to joke with Commander Ning, but now I unconsciously restrain myself a lot when facing Commander Ning, and I don't dare to be as casual as before!
