Ning Zhiheng, of course, did not stand on ceremony. Since he could not gain any benefit from this matter himself, he naturally had to give it to someone close to him.
He quickly said, "I recommend Section Chief Zhao from our Operations Section. After all, arrest operations are our Section's job, and Liu Tongfang, the station chief of Hangzhou Station, is Section Chief Zhao's old subordinate. With Section Chief Zhao in charge, Liu Tongfang will naturally not dare to slack off, and there will be no problem with the two cooperating."
This answer was exactly what the director expected. Ning Zhiheng was Zhao Ziliang's favorite general, and the two had always gotten along well. Of course, Ning Zhiheng was willing to give the benefits to his own people.
"Alright! We're in agreement, so let's send Ziliang on the trip," the section chief finally decided.
Bian Ze, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, he also had an important mission at the moment and couldn't leave. Moreover, as the deputy head of the intelligence section, it wasn't easy for him to take credit for the action section. He was also proud and aloof by nature, so he hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.
With the matter settled, everyone was happy, and Ning Zhiheng left the director's office with a relaxed mind.
He reached out and gently removed the Third Class Yunhui Medal from his chest, putting it into his jacket pocket. This was the second medal he had received.
Ning Zhiheng returned to his office and began practicing spoken Japanese with Yi Hua'an. At that moment, Sun Jiacheng knocked on the door and came in.
"Report, team leader," Sun Jiacheng reported loudly, then glanced at Yi Hua'an beside him. Yi Hua'an immediately nodded to Ning Zhiheng and left the office.
"What's wrong?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
"Team leader, Zuo Gang just called me and said he rushed back from Chongqing and wanted to meet with you, but you haven't been home for days. He tried calling you just now but no one answered, so he notified me to let you know!" Sun Jiacheng reported carefully.
Sun Jiacheng was the only one who knew of the existence of the Zuo siblings. Ning Zhiheng had told the Zuo siblings that if they couldn't find Ning Zhiheng, they should contact him through Sun Jiacheng.
To make the most of his time learning Japanese, Ning Zhiheng has been spending all his time with Yi Hua'an, resting in the office every day, and hasn't been back to his own residence for more than ten days.
Ning Zhiheng nodded. He also wanted to know how his family was doing. He quickly changed into casual clothes, turned around and left the office to go to the Zuo family's house.
Ning Zhiheng's home and the Zuo family's home were not far from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Ning Zhiheng left the gate and soon arrived at the Zuo family's home.
The door to the courtyard was knocked on rhythmically, and the Zuo siblings came out to greet them. Ning Zhiheng nodded in acknowledgment, and the group went into the room and sat down.
Ning Zhiheng asked, "When did you get back?"
Zuo Gang replied, "We rushed back to Nanjing the day before yesterday morning. We've been looking for you these past two nights, but no one has come. We asked the neighbors and they said you haven't been home for a long time. We were really worried today, so we called you, but no one answered. Luckily, you gave Captain Sun your phone number."
Ning Zhiheng had instructed that unless it was an emergency, people should not call his office. Zuo Gang waited for two days, fearing that something unexpected might have happened, before finally using a public phone to notify him.
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you. It's nothing. I've just been too busy with work lately and haven't had time to go home, so I've just been resting at the office. By the way, how are my family members doing?"
“Your family is all well, and the journey was smooth. After arriving in Chongqing, a man named Manager Wen brought some people to pick us up by boat, and we were quickly settled in. We observed the situation in Chongqing for a few more days and found no problems, so we rushed back,” Zuo Gang replied.
Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng was finally relieved. He nodded and smiled, "You're so kind. You must be tired from the long journey. I should be free for a while. Go out and relax, don't all stay in this courtyard."
During this period, Ning Zhiheng focused his main energy on learning Japanese and handed over his work to Wang Shucheng, so he told Zuo Gang and the others not to be too nervous.
Zuo Gang nodded in agreement, but then hesitated and said, "Young Master, there's one more thing. I don't know if it's a problem, but we couldn't find you these past two days, so we went to ask around at a few of your neighbors' houses. One of them said that someone had also asked about your whereabouts a few days ago, but we didn't dare to ask any more questions."
