Furthermore, in his consideration, since Geng Boming had already been exposed and the Japanese intelligence headquarters had notified him of an emergency evacuation, all his connections must have been severed. His superiors or subordinates were probably either evacuated or missing, so capturing him wouldn't be of much value! At present, the real target of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department was Gu Wenshi, and capturing Geng Boming was just a pretext.
Time passed slowly, and the search continued. Then, there was another knock on the office door.
The person who pushed open the door was Yu Cheng, the head of the intelligence team in the intelligence department, who was holding a teacup in his hand.
When Ning Zhiheng saw him come in, he couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Team Leader Yu, you come to my place several times a day. I think you might as well move your office here. That way, you won't have to go through all this trouble!"
Yu Cheng didn't mind Ning Zhiheng's words at all. He laughed and said, "Zhiheng, didn't I tell you? Stop calling me 'team leader' and just call me Lao Yu from now on."
"Hey! I just wanted to chat with you! There's been no progress on this case, and I'm really getting anxious. Talking to you makes me feel a little more at ease!"
After saying that, he didn't stand on ceremony. He went to the table next to him, picked up the thermos and refilled his teacup with water, then plopped down on the sofa.
Ning Zhiheng found it amusing that Yu Cheng was so informal with him; he was indeed Gu Zhengqi's trusted subordinate and confidant, even his mannerisms were exactly the same.
They always greet people with a smile, but deep down they reveal a shrewdness!
These past two days, Yu Cheng has come over every day under the pretense of chatting with him, but really he just wants to see if there's anything new happening with Ning Zhiheng.
The large-scale search was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and both the intelligence and operations departments invested a great deal of manpower and resources.
However, Gu Zhengqi assigned Yu Cheng a special task: to keep a close eye on Ning Zhiheng, the leader of the fourth action group of the Action Section!
Gu Zhengqi carefully instructed Yu Cheng that if there was a breakthrough in this case, the breakthrough point must be Ning Zhiheng!
Throughout his conversation, Gu Zhengqi clearly held this young action team leader in extremely high regard. In the past six months, Ning Zhiheng had almost single-handedly dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese spy organization, elevating the Action Section to its current status and putting immense pressure on the Intelligence Section.
In particular, his amazing analytical and reasoning abilities and highly efficient action in the several dialogues in the director's office left a very deep impression on him. The director also always praised Ning Zhiheng highly!
He knew that this operation was still being led by Ning Zhiheng, who had essentially become the main executor of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department's Operations Section.
The intelligence department is facing a dangerous situation this time. If it wants to overcome the difficulties, it must keep up with Ning Zhiheng's pace, keep abreast of the latest developments, and participate in any new developments in a timely manner to strive for the best performance in order to get through this crisis.
So these past two days, Yu Cheng has been coming to see Ning Zhiheng, wanting to find out if he has any new breakthroughs or ideas about the case, and also to guard against the Action Section breaking away from the Intelligence Section and acting secretly!
Ning Zhiheng laughed and said, "Hehe, Team Leader Yu, ah no, Lao Yu! What are you worried about? Your intelligence department has a large number of people watching the scene, and every checkpoint is guarded by your people. What can be kept from you? I'm just remotely directing things here, and I don't have access to any of the latest information!"
"Zhiheng, it's not that I'm being petty, but this matter is of great importance. I know you're quick-witted, so don't keep anything from me. Tell me if you have any good ideas!" Yu Cheng said sincerely.
Ning Zhiheng spread his hands, both amused and exasperated, and said, "There really isn't a good way to capture Gu Wenshi. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. We're lucky he didn't leave Nanjing. If he had run back to Shanghai, we would have been left empty-handed! There aren't that many good methods."
However, Yu Cheng didn't care about these words at all. He seemed to have great patience and chatted with Ning Zhiheng slowly and leisurely. However, he was very eloquent and good at chatting. Ning Zhiheng was quite interested in chatting with him and they had a very pleasant conversation!
