To lay a hand on Miao Yongyi? Of course not. As long as Miao Yongyi isn't a Japanese spy, Ning Zhiheng would never lay a hand on his own brother.
Since coming into this world, Ning Zhiheng has cared most about his family, teachers, and friends. Miao Yongyi is a brother he values highly, even more so than his two biological brothers. How could Ning Zhiheng possibly harm such a person?
Not to mention that Miao Yongyi was very likely an underground party member, and like himself, he ended up becoming a member of the Red Party.
Even if Miao Yongyi had something to hide or some ulterior motive, he was loyal to his country and willing to give his life for the nation and people. He was fearless and did not retreat a single step when charging at the Japanese. For this reason alone, Ning Zhiheng would recognize him as a brother!
Seeing the questioning look in Sun Jiacheng's eyes, Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "Things are not that simple. We need to plan this carefully. You must keep this matter absolutely secret and not let a word of it leak out."
“Yes, I understand!” Sun Jiacheng quickly nodded in agreement.
Ning Zhiheng nodded. He had absolute faith in Sun Jiacheng. Unlike Miao Yongyi, Sun Jiacheng, like the Zuo siblings, had their lives and futures tied to Ning Zhiheng. He was their only support in the world. Moreover, Ning Zhiheng's combination of kindness and severity had won them over, making them wholeheartedly willing to serve him. Therefore, their loyalty was not to the Kuomintang or to the Director, but to Ning Zhiheng!
Ning Zhiheng looked at the safe house across the street and said softly, "Did that beggar and Yongyi have a conversation just now?"
Sun Jiacheng thought about it carefully for a moment and then slowly said, "They were too far away to notice, but their contact time was very short. Miao Yongyi poured the leftovers to the beggar and then they parted ways. Their exchange was just a few words."
Ning Zhiheng thought it over carefully and said, "Then keep a close watch on him. I will arrange for him to stay in the safe house for a while longer to make sure he finds out his true identity. If anything happens, notify me immediately."
“Yes!” Sun Jiacheng replied.
Ning Zhiheng had a lot of work to do and couldn't stay here personally. After giving instructions to Sun Jiacheng, he prepared to turn around and leave.
But at that moment, Sun Jiacheng suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Station Chief, look, Miao Yongyi is coming out!"
Upon hearing the sound, Ning Zhiheng quickly returned to the window. He had excellent eyesight and could clearly see the scene of the safe house across the street without binoculars.
Miao Yongyi walked out of the courtyard gate with a bag of garbage in his hand, turned around and locked the gate, then walked to the garbage can in the distance and threw away the garbage in his hand.
“He’s been taking out the trash every morning lately, but he already did it this morning. Now he’s taking out the trash again. This behavior is unusual, isn’t it?” Sun Jiacheng was very observant and immediately noticed the problem when he saw Miao Yongyi’s behavior.
When Ning Zhiheng heard Sun Jiacheng say this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Miao Yongyi had just made contact with someone, so it seemed that he was about to make a move.
The two men carefully observed Miao Yongyi's every move from the surveillance point, but Miao Yongyi was completely unaware. After throwing away the trash, he looked around and then quickly walked away into the distance.
"Station Chief, he's moved! He must be going to make contact. I'll follow him right away!" Sun Jiacheng said anxiously. After waiting for so many days, this was the first time Miao Yongyi had left the safe house.
“I’ll go follow them myself; you stay here and continue to observe.” Ning Zhiheng stopped him with a gesture.
If Miao Yongyi is indeed a member of the underground party as he suspects, his sudden action must be to make contact with his superiors. In that case, it would be inappropriate to have Sun Jiacheng follow him. Even if he absolutely trusts Sun Jiacheng, it's best not to entrust underground party matters to others.
"Yes, station chief!" Sun Jiacheng immediately replied. He knew that the station chief did not want to make a fuss and wanted to see Miao Yongyi's background in person. Besides, with the station chief's skills, he was not worried that there would be any problems.
Ning Zhiheng turned around and went downstairs, out of the courtyard gate, and followed him from a distance. With his sharp eyesight, as long as Miao Yongyi didn't leave his sight, he would definitely not be able to shake off his pursuit.
