"So soon!" The two were surprised that Ning Liangcai was in such a hurry. "Leaving in seven days? We won't have enough time. Shouldn't we wait a while before leaving? Isn't this too hasty?"
Ning Liangcai quickly explained, "You probably don't know yet, but the situation outside is getting more and more chaotic. Chongqing is thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, and the journey is becoming increasingly unsafe."
This time, everyone is traveling with us. I have quite a few guards under my command, and Zhiheng brought back a batch of firearms and ammunition for self-defense. You could say our safety is absolutely guaranteed. If we were to travel this far again, there's no guarantee that accidents wouldn't happen.
After Ning Liangcai's repeated persuasion, the two families finally agreed to his arrangement, and the matter of moving west to Chongqing was finally settled. Ning Liangcai was in a great mood.
Just then, Uncle Shrimp, the doorman, hurriedly walked in, glanced into the living room, and then turned and left.
"What's the matter?" Ning Liangcai noticed that Uncle Xia's pace was hurried, indicating that something must have happened. Now that the important matters had been discussed, he asked.
"Master, two military officers have arrived outside. They claim to be the commanders of the Hangzhou Military Intelligence Station and request an audience with the Second Young Master. I was just about to report this to him!" Uncle Xia quickly replied. He didn't know what station it was, but he knew that military officers these days were not to be trifled with. However, he dared not delay any longer.
"Alright, Zhiheng, you don't know him well. He's never liked crowds. He must be reading in his room right now. Go and report to him!" Ning Liangcai knew immediately that Ning Zhiheng's colleagues had come to visit. These officers from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department were not to be trifled with, and he couldn't afford to neglect his family.
After giving instructions to Uncle Shrimp, he turned to everyone and said, "I'll go greet the guests. You all can continue your conversation."
"Why would an officer come knocking on our door, especially an officer from the military intelligence station?" Jiang Junmao, however, had very good hearing. He had heard of this department and knew it was an extremely powerful and privileged department.
Why would a department like this come looking for its own nephew, and even use the word "seeking an audience"? That's quite a humble attitude.
"It's nothing, he must be Zhiheng's colleague. I don't know much about military matters, but I'll still go and greet him, so as not to be impolite!" Ning Liangcai has been a businessman all his life, and he naturally understands the principle that harmony brings wealth and that it's never wrong to be polite.
He got up and left the living room, walked down the corridor, and when he was almost at the gate, he saw one of his son's men welcoming in two majors in smart military uniforms.
It turned out that the action team members on guard at the gate saw the military intelligence station officer visiting and immediately reported to Ning Zhiheng. Sun Jiacheng then quickly came out to greet them and led them to see Ning Zhiheng.
Behind them were several soldiers, each carrying a box.
The two officers happened to run into Ning Liangcai.
Sun Jiacheng quickly introduced, "This is Mr. Ning, the father of our team leader."
He then turned to Ning Liangcai and introduced them, saying, "These two are the team leader's colleagues."
Upon hearing Sun Jiacheng's introduction, Lu Jingyi, the head of the General Affairs Department of Hangzhou Station, immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and extended his hand to shake Ning Liangcai's hand. He said in a courteous manner, "Oh, so you are the esteemed Mr. Ning, Team Leader. I am Lu Jingyi from the General Affairs Department of Hangzhou Station, and this is my colleague Quan Yulong. We are both in Hangzhou and have not been able to pay our respects to Mr. Ning. We are truly sorry for our rudeness. We hope Mr. Ning will not take offense!"
Ning Liangcai was taken aback by Lu Jingyi's gesture, but being a man of experience, he immediately put on a smile and warmly shook Lu Jingyi's hand, saying, "You're too kind, too kind. It's an honor to have you here, Commander Lu! Please come in!"
After speaking, he stepped aside and led Lu Jingyi and his party into the living room. When the family members in the living room saw that guests had come in, they all quickly got up, nodded in acknowledgment, and went into the side room to wait.
Ning Liangcai invited Lu Jingyi to sit down, and the soldiers behind him placed five leather suitcases on the guest table and quickly withdrew.
