Xiang Yan said in a low voice, "A few days ago, I saw the section chief in the section chief's office giving instructions to Liang Bi. He mentioned the name Meng Lesheng during their conversation."
You know how many rules there are in our Military Intelligence Investigation Department. So I didn't ask too many questions, but I'm certain that what the section chief told me is related to Meng Lesheng. You two are fellow students, so he definitely won't hide anything from you!
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng wondered to himself, what could Zhao Ziliang want with his senior brother Wei Liangbi? The conversation also mentioned Meng Lesheng; it seemed that to get further information, he would have to find Wei Liangbi!
Logically speaking, Xiang Yan shouldn't have told Ning Zhiheng about these things, but his relationship with Ning Zhiheng is very harmonious now, almost like a friendship between people of different ages.
During his several stints working under him, Ning Zhiheng was respectful and cooperative. In the final stages of the Blackwater spy case, he made a tremendous contribution, almost single-handedly controlling the pace of the investigation and ultimately capturing Meng Lesheng, the leader of the Blackwater spy team.
Xiang Yan benefited greatly from this case. In addition, Ning Zhiheng deliberately befriended him, so he greatly admired Ning Zhiheng. More importantly, he knew very well that Ning Zhiheng's intentions were good, and he trusted him a lot, telling him almost everything without hiding anything.
Ning Zhiheng left Xiang Yan's office and quickly went to find Wei Liangbi. In fact, the two offices were only one floor apart and not far from each other.
He arrived at Wei Liangbi's office, knocked on the door, and entered. As soon as Wei Liangbi saw him, he gestured for him to sit down and asked with a smile, "What brings you here today to chat? Is there something you need?"
There was no need for Ning Zhiheng to beat around the bush with Wei Liangbi. He asked directly, "Senior brother, have you been involved in Meng Lesheng's case recently?"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Wei Liangbi put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, stretched easily, and looked up with a smile: "Your information network is quite impressive; this matter couldn't be kept from you!"
Ning Zhiheng said, "This Military Intelligence Investigation Department seems like an impenetrable block, mysterious and shrouded in secrecy to outsiders, like a hellish underworld. But how could we, who are in it, not know anything! Just how many things can they keep from people!"
Wei Liangbi pointed at Ning Zhiheng and said with a smile, "Speak, what do you want to know?"
He and Ning Zhiheng were like brothers. To outsiders, they were one and the same, and there were no secrets between them.
“I’d like to know how the interrogation of Meng Lesheng is going?” Ning Zhiheng asked.
"Just for this little thing?" Wei Liangbi said with a smile. "His health has improved somewhat, and the intelligence department has begun preliminary interrogation of him, but without any progress. It is said that the interrogation the day before yesterday was too harsh, and his gunshot wound in the abdomen ruptured, causing a relapse, and he was sent back to the hospital. The intelligence department is now at a loss. If they are too lenient, he won't confess; if they are too harsh, he won't survive. They are stuck in a limbo, truly caught in a dilemma."
Why are you asking these questions? I know, you're still not giving up on Meng Lesheng and want to take over the interrogation work!
Wei Liangbi quickly realized that Ning Zhiheng wanted to take over the Blackwater spy case again and wipe out the entire Blackwater team to achieve his goal!
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "I do have this plan. I heard that their intelligence department has made some gains. What gains? Senior brother, do you know?"
Wei Liangbi was somewhat surprised this time. He suppressed his smile and said in a low voice, "Where did you get this information? Not many people know about this. But sooner or later, I won't be able to keep it from you. Anyway, the case is closed, so it won't hurt to give you a little hint."
Wei Liangbi was always open and honest with Ning Zhiheng, never hiding anything. He continued, "This matter is actually related to you. Do you remember when we arrested Meng Lesheng, we took that file folder from his safe?"
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Of course I remember that!"
He already knew from Xiang Yan that this matter was related to that mysterious document.
"That document shows that the Blackwater group, in the past six months, has recruited one of our army's senior division-level officers, and even a military commander!"
"What! Such a thing actually happened!" Ning Zhiheng was utterly astonished upon hearing this. The Blackwater Group had actually managed to go to such lengths in their defection efforts, managing to subvert such a high-ranking military officer!
This is a very serious matter. If it's true, the negative impact it will have is immeasurable!
So if war breaks out between China and Japan in the future, a deliberately wrong decision at a critical moment on the battlefield could even bury an entire army!
Wei Liangbi said with a serious expression, "It's absolutely true. Mo Chenggui, the deputy commander of the 14th Division, was the first person in charge to report this matter to the principal. The principal ordered an immediate and thorough investigation. According to our investigation, the evidence is conclusive."
Meng Lesheng initially resisted speaking, but after seeing the document, he knew he couldn't deny it and finally confessed.
He admitted that his assistant, Kong Shulan, seduced him with her beauty, and that Kong Shulan was responsible for the actual subversion.
"He completely denied everything, since Kong Shulan is already dead anyway," Ning Zhihong asked疑惑地.
"He wasn't lying. According to our investigation, Kong Shulan was Mo Chenggui's tutor six months ago. Later, the two became very close, which caused Mo Chenggui and his wife to have several big arguments. In the end, he had no choice but to dismiss Kong Shulan. After that, the two maintained a close relationship and had frequent contact."
More importantly, Mo Chenggui revealed a great deal of military secrets about the 14th Division to Kong Shulan. The military secrets involved in that document are enough to prove this. This cannot be explained by a mere ambiguous relationship. All indications suggest that Mo Chenggui has been turned!
