Ning Zhiheng listened to Du Qian's tearful account without saying a word until Du Qian revealed his ultimate goal.
"This humble servant wishes to become your disciple, Team Leader Ning. Otherwise, I fear I will be doomed. This time, Han Xingping and I have fallen out, and he will definitely not let me stay in this position. He will surely try to harm me. Team Leader Ning, please have mercy on me. You saved me once, please save me again!" At this point, Du Qian knelt down on the ground and pleaded.
Ning Zhiheng watched Du Qian's performance quietly. Du Qian's words contained both truth and falsehood, exaggeration and true feelings. However, Ning Zhiheng was suspicious by nature and found it difficult to trust others. Moreover, he was as hard as iron. How could someone like Du Qian be fooled?
"You want to become my disciple? Ha! There's no such thing as a free lunch. I don't even care about this little bit of money!" Ning Zhiheng sneered, patting the leather suitcase on the table. "I've said it before, you're not qualified to borrow this knife from me!"
Du Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this. Team Leader Ning's words were clear: he wasn't qualified enough, which meant he thought the money wasn't enough! No problem, as long as they were willing to accept it, as long as he could keep his position, how much money could he not get back!
"This humble servant is willing to offer you Han Xingping's 30% share, just to keep this position, and from now on I will serve you like a dog!" Du Qian quickly said.
Don't think that 30% is a small amount. This police station doesn't belong to Han Xingping alone. He is just the biggest one among these people who ask for money. In the end, Du Qian will only get 30%.
So Du Qian is really going all out this time. Since they've already fallen out, he might as well kick Han Xingping out.
Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng became somewhat interested, but what interested him was not the 30% profit, but the incredibly wealthy Deputy Director Han that Du Qian had mentioned.
He knew he would only be in Nanjing for a maximum of six months, and during that time he needed to make as much money as possible to prepare for the future.
Where does all this money come from? Of course, it comes from corrupt officials and bureaucrats, whose money is the most abundant and easiest to take, and who have no psychological burden no matter how much they take.
Of course, this requires a method. You can't let people criticize your greed. The best way is to frame someone and implicate Deputy Director Han in a case. As long as you can get involved, you'll have an excuse to take action. The best outcome would be to make a killing, just like you did with Dai Daguang. That would be the best! At the very least, you should at least take a big piece of meat and eat your fill!
As for Du Qian, it's crucial to keep him in place, as it's very important for him to remain in his position.
Ning Zhiheng needed to find a way to deliver the medicine to the underground party. The underground party would then need to go through Du Qian's connections via Hengfeng Trading Company to send the medicine out of Nanjing. This transportation line would temporarily need Du Qian to maintain it.
Therefore, we should wait until this batch of medicines is shipped out before taking action against Du Qian.
If Du Qian loses his position and someone else takes it, then reopening the process will be very time-consuming and could easily lead to unexpected situations.
"Alright! Du Qian, as long as you know how to do things, I'll give you a chance. However, I hate hypocrites the most. From now on, you can't carry out the things I arrange without any discount!" Ning Zhiheng finally agreed.
"Thank you, team leader! Thank you, team leader! I will obey your orders without question!" Du Qian was overjoyed to hear Ning Zhiheng's words. With Ning Zhiheng's protection, Deputy Director Han would find it difficult to touch him, and the position would still be his. He never expected to turn misfortune into blessing and find an even bigger backer.
"Do you know who's behind Han Xingping? Do you know his background?" Ning Zhiheng asked. Knowing your enemy and yourself is the best way to make a move. Otherwise, you'll just run into a brick wall and get hurt.
However, he felt that someone who was so frightened by the words "Party Affairs Investigation Department" that he would abandon his own subordinates could not possibly have any powerful backing!
"He's a subordinate of Wen Shao, the deputy director of the police department. I haven't heard of any other backers!" Du Qian answered honestly. He didn't dare to lie about this, otherwise, if someone as shrewd as Team Leader Ning found out, his fate would be in jeopardy!
The deputy director of the police department! That's no small fry, but as long as it's within the jurisdiction of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, I'm not afraid. Besides, it's not like I'm really going against them. I'm just taking action against Han Xingping. Once the case is solidified, I'll leave no room for criticism.
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "You can spread the word that you are one of my men and see what Han Xingping does. If he is ungrateful and still tries to harm you, I will naturally stand up for you!"
Although Ning Zhiheng knew that Han Xingping wouldn't dare to challenge him, money could be a powerful motivator, and with such a huge profit in front of him, it was hard to guarantee that Han Xingping wouldn't do something rash. However, keeping Du Qian calm was the most important thing right now; the rest could be arranged later!
"There's one more thing. Who was the person from Hengfeng Trading Company that you mentioned yesterday who dealt with you?" Ning Zhiheng suddenly asked.
Du Qian immediately knew that Ning Zhiheng wanted to investigate the matter he had reported, so he quickly said, "It's Wan Huarong, the boss of Hengfeng Trading Company!"
What goods are listed on that delivery slip?
"It says 'cotton cloth,' and there are two trucks, half cotton and half medicine. The outside is cotton cloth, but the inside is full of medicine!"
"Our Military Intelligence Investigation Department will investigate this matter. Keep an eye out, and if you spot those familiar drivers and vehicles again, report it to me immediately."
"Let me emphasize again, you must keep your mouth shut and not mention this to anyone, otherwise you will be court-martialed, understand?" Ning Zhiheng instructed once more.
