Besides, this batch of weapons is clean and safe to use, with no worries about the future. Ning Zhiheng is sure that Cui Guohao won't make money off him by buying them; it's much more cost-effective than buying them on the black market.
Cui Guohao immediately returned to his desk, picked up a pen and paper, wrote two lines, and handed the note to Ning Zhiheng, saying, "Don't worry, it won't delay your business. This is the address and code. I'll have them prepare it, and you can pick up the goods anytime."
Ning Zhiheng took the note and glanced at it, then couldn't help but chuckle. He teased, "You really are worthy of the Military Intelligence Bureau. You even come up with code words. Anyone who didn't know better would think this was a secret rendezvous!"
He knew this address was Cui Guohao's usual distribution point for reselling supplies, but he hadn't expected him to be so cautious, using the tactics of a secret agent in this situation—quite a novel approach. Cui Guohao laughed and said, "I'm just being prepared. Actually, even if something does happen, I'm not afraid. Who dares to trace it back to our Military Intelligence Investigation Department? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. The big fish in this mess are not something a mere lieutenant colonel like me can handle."
The implication was crystal clear: Ning Zhiheng hadn't expected that behind this arms deal was the powerful figure of Deputy Director Huang Xianzheng. In other words, this arms deal was actually a business of his Baoding faction, and it was likely connected to the military. The waters here were deep, but the deeper the waters, the safer it would be!
After settling things over, Ning Zhiheng said goodbye to Cui Guohao and returned to his office, where he immediately picked up the phone.
"Shucheng, you, Sun Jiacheng, and Zhao Jiang all come over here!" Ning Zhiheng ordered in a deep voice.
Soon, Wang Shucheng and his two companions arrived at Ning Zhiheng's office.
"Shucheng, I'm going to Hangzhou tomorrow to handle some things. Lao Sun and Zhao Jiang will select twenty capable team members from the First Action Team to accompany me. You will temporarily take over the work of the action team during this period."
Seeing Wang Shucheng's somewhat bewildered and helpless expression, he waved his hand and said again, "The section chief personally promised that our action team will not have any major operations during this period. You should be able to handle it."
If anything urgent happens during this period, immediately send an urgent telegram to the Hangzhou military intelligence station, and they will notify me.
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, Wang Shucheng finally felt relieved. To be honest, with his abilities, the work of the acting team was indeed a bit difficult. He was a little at a loss when he heard Ning Zhiheng's order, but he quickly calmed down. Wang Shucheng is not what he used to be; his ability to do things has greatly improved, and he can handle some simple matters without any problem.
Ning Zhiheng then turned to Zhao Jiang and said, "Go and book train tickets to Hangzhou for tomorrow right away. Make sure to display our Military Intelligence Investigation Department's signboard. Make sure the seats are close together in one carriage, just in case anything unexpected happens."
Zhao Jiang quickly accepted the order and left. Wang Shucheng saw that Sun Jiacheng did not speak, and knew that Ning Zhiheng must have something to say to Sun Jiacheng.
Because he knew very well that Sun Jiacheng was Ning Zhiheng's most trusted confidant, and many things were entrusted to Sun Jiacheng to handle.
So he took his leave and left Ning Zhiheng's office.
Ning Zhiheng then instructed Sun Jiacheng: "Go to this address in an hour, meet the cargo owner according to the code, and retrieve twenty new guns and two thousand rounds of ammunition. We're taking them with us tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng mention the rendezvous and code words, Sun Jiacheng's face turned serious, and he immediately said, "Team leader, don't worry, I guarantee there won't be any problems."
Sun Jiacheng was always extremely confident in his skills, and he believed that no one could do anything to him except for Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and laughed, "You're overthinking it. This arms deal is actually also a business of our Military Intelligence Investigation Department. It's just that it's more convenient to get the goods there. By the way, here's the payment!"
After saying that, he opened the drawer, took out a stack of US dollars and handed it to Sun Jiacheng, who nodded and left.
With things temporarily arranged, Ning Zhiheng quickly sat down and finished the case reports for the cases he was currently handling. Naturally, he attributed the credit to his subordinates, believing that this time, he could secure many benefits for them.
The morning passed by in a flurry of activity until the telephone on his desk rang again. Ning Zhiheng picked up the phone, and it was Liu Datong.
"Team leader, I have something I'd like to report to you," Liu Datong said respectfully.
“Alright, same place as always, come find me at Hongyun Teahouse.” Ning Zhiheng didn’t say much. It was lunchtime anyway, and he probably knew what Liu Datong wanted to see him about.
After leaving the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, Ning Zhiheng returned to Hongyun Teahouse and entered his private room. A short while later, he heard the sound of car brakes outside.
He stood up, went to the window, and saw a black car parked in front of the teahouse. Liu Datong got out of the car, carrying a leather bag, and quickly walked into the teahouse.
Liu Datong went straight up to the second floor and entered the private room. He saw Ning Zhiheng standing by the window, so he quickly stepped forward, put the briefcase in his hand on the table, and said with a smile, "Team leader, this is this month's allowance. I know you like pounds and dollars, so I exchanged it all for dollars. It's a total of sixteen thousand dollars!"
Liu Datong had just become the chief of the Xicheng Police Station a month ago. As Ning Zhiheng's representative, his main task was to keep an eye on this major transportation route for Ning Zhiheng and to plunder enough money for him.
When Du Qian was the police chief, he would take 30% for himself and give 30% to his patron, Han Xingping, the deputy director of the police headquarters.
However, Liu Datong didn't dare to swallow the money. As Ning Zhiheng's subordinate, how could he dare to share the profits with Ning Zhiheng? He knew that his rapid rise from a lowly patrolman to his current position in just half a year was entirely due to Ning Zhiheng's deliberate promotion. Naturally, he was filled with gratitude towards Ning Zhiheng. In addition, with Ning Zhiheng's growing power, Liu Datong both respected and feared Ning Zhiheng. He was very clear about his own position, so he directly handed over 60% of the checkpoint's share to Ning Zhiheng, not daring to keep any for himself.
