"Ning Zhiheng is bluffing me!" Yu Cheng blurted out! He was a shrewd man and quickly realized what was going on!
Gu Zhengqi's face darkened, and he continued to curse in a low voice: "You're not qualified to lie to me. He's trying to force us to bow down. He's just young and impetuous. How can I argue with him about who's better than me!"
Gu Zhengqi was a man who was outwardly flexible but inwardly principled. He had long since developed a thick skin that was impervious to criticism, so he naturally didn't bother arguing with Ning Zhiheng. He picked up the phone and dialed Ning Zhiheng's number!
"Zhiheng, I am Gu Zhengqi," Gu Zhengqi said in a calm tone.
"Is this Section Chief Gu? What are your instructions?" Ning Zhiheng asked respectfully.
Gu Zhengqi considered for a moment. Not wanting Ning Zhiheng to be too resistant to him, he said as gently as possible, "I heard that you are very dissatisfied with Cheng's work progress. I have already criticized them. The intelligence department has indeed been slacking off in its work during this period!"
"However, Zhiheng, don't worry, the work here will be finished soon. How about this, give me some face and give Yu Cheng one more day? We'll send the investigation results to you first thing tomorrow morning, what do you think?"
In fact, Ning Zhiheng had already achieved his goal as long as he received Gu Zhengqi's call, since he didn't dare to really offend Gu Zhengqi.
As the most trusted confidant of the Chief, even if he is in a bad situation now, he is not someone Ning Zhiheng can afford to offend!
Ning Zhiheng also spoke up, "Section Chief Gu, it's just a small matter that has alarmed you. I was only doing my duty. The director assigned this case to me, and time is tight. I was in a hurry, so I said a few more words! Now that you've spoken up, of course everything is fine. Let's wait another day!"
The two quickly reached an agreement. Gu Zhengqi put down the phone and said to Yu Cheng with a gloomy face, "I don't care what you do, you must produce results today and hand them over to Ning Zhiheng first thing tomorrow morning!"
Seeing that the section chief and Ning Zhiheng had finished their conversation, Yu Cheng finally felt relieved and quickly agreed, "Please rest assured, section chief, I will immediately release all my personnel and produce results today!"
Gu Zhengqi looked at Yu Cheng and said earnestly, "You should know our situation this time. The Director has always been fair in his rewards and punishments. Yan Yichun's matter has caused a huge mess. If we can't get through this and can't give the Director an explanation, I will naturally have to step down and give way to a more capable person. As for you, you are someone I promoted myself, so you can imagine what will happen to you!"
"It was all my fault. I will definitely speed up the progress and never slack off again!" Yu Cheng quickly nodded in agreement. This time it was indeed his fault. Gu Zhengqi's heartfelt words to his face made him feel ashamed!
"Alas, it's my fault. Over the years, I thought I had managed the intelligence section very well, but now it seems I am far inferior to Zhao Ziliang. At least he is better at leading troops than I am. His subordinates are full of vigor and enthusiasm. No wonder the action section is performing so well now. This is by no means a coincidence!" Gu Zhengqi couldn't help but feel a little disheartened and dejected.
Ning Zhiheng hung up the phone, naturally having achieved his goal. He wanted to see if Yu Cheng would dare to be perfunctory with his words again.
He looked up at Wang Shucheng and said, "Have you investigated the family circumstances of these four targets?"
Wang Shucheng quickly said, "We've done a preliminary investigation. These four targets are not from ordinary families; they are all quite wealthy. We have records of them in our files, but we still need to investigate further to get more details!"
Ning Zhiheng stood up and walked towards the door: "We can't just wait around. Let's go and see for ourselves. If we're lucky, we might be able to close the case before we even get the outcome for Yu Cheng and those guys!"
Wang Shucheng and Huo Yueze followed closely behind, and the three of them left the Military Intelligence Investigation Department together.
Half an hour later, on the side of a main street in the south of the city, in a black sedan, Wang Shucheng pointed to a house not far away and said, "Cai Ruixiu, 28 years old, is a housewife. Her husband, Wang Ruijin, 35 years old, is the manager of a trading company. They are well-off and have an eight-year-old son. There is an old maid in the house, an old local woman."
Ning Zhiheng frowned upon hearing this, lowered his head and thought for a long time before speaking: "Spies generally have very few family burdens, and even if both husband and wife are spies, they would never have children. This is a major taboo!"
At this point, he still didn't dare to let it go easily, and continued, "We can't be too absolute either. Just in case, we should still investigate. Didn't they say that her maid is a local? Then there shouldn't be any problems! Find out about this maid, and we'll start with her!"
"Yes, I'll check right away!" Huo Yueze nodded in acceptance and hurriedly got out of the car and left!
Wang Shucheng, who was standing to the side, asked with some doubt, "Team leader, just because they have a child, you think that Cai Ruixiu is not the person we are looking for?"
Ning Zhiheng nodded, smiled faintly, and explained, "We are looking for a high-ranking Japanese spy, and this spy should not be Chinese. The Japanese will not completely trust a foreigner!"
If Cai Ruixiu is truly Japanese, and at twenty-eight years old she already has an eight-year-old child, meaning she had a child when she was twenty and had her with her, what Japanese spy would be so foolish as to leave themselves with such a fatal weakness!
And then there's the maid. Spies are usually afraid of being discovered, so why would they keep an outsider by their side? It would be very inconvenient. If the maid is a gossip, wouldn't she just be asking for trouble?
