Kosuke Ikeda and Kazunari Yamauchi quickly left the shop and mingled with the crowd of onlookers. They soon turned into a nearby alley, where pedestrians continued to pass by.
They first walked slowly with their heads down, and when they saw that no one was paying attention to them, they quickened their pace and walked through the long alleyway until they saw the end of the alleyway.
"This is a dead end!"
Seeing a wall in front of him, Kosuke Ikeda didn't hesitate at all. He half-squatted down, put his hands together to form a handrail, and nodded to Kazunari Yamauchi. Kazunari Yamauchi took a step and stepped onto the handrail. With the push from Kosuke Ikeda, he jumped up and put his hands on the edge of the wall. But just as he was about to climb over, he found that there was also a team of fully armed soldiers patrolling outside the courtyard wall.
The military intelligence investigation team members were very familiar with the terrain of the area and were well-trained. They had already assigned guard posts at the beginning of the operation, making the block completely surrounded.
Seeing that Yamauchi Kazunari's body had fallen back down, Ikeda Kosuke asked curiously, "What happened?"
Yamauchi Kazunari shook his head nervously and said, "The outside is completely surrounded. This alley is impassable. Let's find another place!"
Kosuke Ikeda was also startled by what Kazunari Yamauchi said. It seemed that the other side had deployed a large number of troops and controlled the surrounding area. They clearly attached great importance to this operation, which made him feel even more uneasy.
Without saying another word, the two quickly walked back to the alley entrance, squeezed into the crowd, and looked towards the street corner. They saw that all the personnel had already begun the screening process.
The soldiers were fully armed, with bullets loaded, and their eyes were fixed on the crowd around them. The officers led the team to carefully check everyone. Anyone who was not a local pedestrian was forced to a corner by the fully armed soldiers at gunpoint.
Seeing this, the two became even more anxious. Kosuke Ikeda tugged at Kazunari Yamauchi's clothes, signaling him to leave quickly.
The two men turned into another alley, trying to find another way out. Unfortunately, the situation was worse this time. Although the alley opposite was open, a group of operatives rushed in and almost bumped into them. Fortunately, they reacted quickly, turned around, and returned to the street, blending back into the crowd.
At this point, it was too late to find a hiding place. The entire team of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department was mobilized, with ample manpower, and began to divide the block into several sections in an orderly manner, searching and identifying each section one by one.
As the menacing soldiers quickly surrounded them, Kosuke Ikeda and Kazunari Yamauchi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Sun Jiacheng had already led a team of action members to Hongyun Teahouse at top speed. He knew that Ning Zhiheng had been eating here, and he was afraid that if anything happened to the team leader, it would be an unforgivable crime!
Seeing Sun Jiacheng lead his men into the teahouse, Ning Zhiheng smiled and waved. Sun Jiacheng quickly approached him and urgently reported, "Team leader, our men have been mobilized, and the entire street is under control. Do you think we should go back to the office first? It's not safe here."
Hearing his words, Ning Zhiheng chuckled, completely unconcerned about the tense situation outside, and said, "It's nothing serious. They're not up to the task of killing me, Ning. I'd like to see which group of people has set their sights on me!"
With that, he stepped out of the Hongyun Teahouse, and Sun Jiacheng quickly led his team to follow closely behind.
By this time, the streets were under complete control. Officers from the Operations Section saluted Ning Zhiheng as he walked by. Some of these officers were his subordinates, and some were officers from other operations groups. Ning Zhiheng nodded in acknowledgment.
Ning Zhiheng's name is well-known in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, and even more so in the Action Section. His deeds are talked about with great interest in the Action Team. He almost single-handedly raised the Action Section to its current status, and everyone in the Action Section is proud of him!
At this moment, a military officer in his thirties walked up to Ning Zhiheng. He was Ye Zhiwu, the leader of the second action group and one of Zhao Ziliang's confidants.
At this time, Wei Liangbi, the leader of the first action group, was still carrying out the task of searching the entire city. When Zhao Ziliang heard Ning Zhiheng's call, he immediately notified Ye Zhiwu, the leader of the second action group, and ordered him to mobilize the entire group to assist Ning Zhiheng in the search operation.
The phone call clearly stated that it was an assistance operation! In other words, Ning Zhiheng was in charge of this operation.
There is now a consensus within the Operations Section that whenever Ning Zhiheng is present, he is generally in charge of any operation. His abilities are recognized even within the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, and he is highly praised by the department head.
At several routine meetings of the Operations Section, Ning Zhiheng, despite being the youngest among the five operation team leaders, held the highest position.
Whether it's comparing background, tactics, or achievements, the team leaders are all convinced. So, Ning Zhiheng usually doesn't speak up. Once he does, the other team leaders will follow his opinion, especially his senior brother Wei Liangbi, who has always supported him. The two brothers have a very stable position in the Action Section.
Zhao Ziliang knew that with Ning Zhiheng's talent, he would eventually take control of the Action Section, so he had been deliberately admonishing his confidant Ye Zhiwu to befriend Ning Zhiheng. Therefore, Ye Zhiwu had always been very enthusiastic towards Ning Zhiheng.
"Zhiheng, I've brought everyone out and made all the arrangements. Now we're at your command!" Ye Zhiwu walked over to Ning Zhiheng.
Ye Zhiwu was Zhao Ziliang's subordinate for many years. He still retained the habits he had developed in the army. He liked to speak loudly. Despite his rough appearance, he was very meticulous in his work. He arranged his personnel without leaving any gaps and brought control of every blind spot in the entire block in a very short time.
