Since Miao Yongyi joined the intelligence station, he has been in a state of dormancy and has never sent a message to the underground party. This is mainly because some intelligence is of little value to the underground party. Now it seems that he has been restricted too much, so Ning Zhiheng plans to find him something to do.
Ning Zhiheng skillfully cut off a piece of steak, put it in his mouth with a fork, and then said, "Yongyi, I know you don't like staying at the Tan Mansion, so I specially brought you with me to Wuhan this time. After all, you are now under the Military Intelligence Department, and it is necessary for you to go back to headquarters to understand things. Also, it's to help you relax. Didn't you want to go on a field mission? This time, I'll give you a mission!"
Miao Yongyi immediately became interested and quickly asked, "What task is it? I promise I'll complete it perfectly."
"Let's eat first! After we eat, I'll have a proper talk with you!"
The two quickly finished their main course, and the waiter brought two cups of coffee. Ning Zhiheng then began to speak: "We have received information that one of the Japanese Special Higher Police's intelligence agents infiltrating Wuhan is hiding near this Lianfeng Hotel, but the exact location is unknown. Your mission this time is to find this Japanese spy."
"Japanese spies?" Miao Yongyi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. His favorite thing to do was to deal with the Japanese. He couldn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy now, but dealing with Japanese spies on the intelligence front was of course what he wanted!
"Are there any clues? There must be some basis, right?" Miao Yongyi asked hurriedly.
Ning Zhiheng took a sip of coffee and said in a low voice, "We know a little about this Japanese man. His name is Miyahara Ryohei, and he is around thirty years old. I judge that his hidden identity is an employee of a trading company or enterprise in this area, but this is just my judgment. You can't rely on this entirely. Also, I have a portrait of this Japanese man."
"Portrait! That's what they often say, you have a unique skill of creating portraits out of thin air, you can draw a portrait that looks exactly like the real person without ever having seen them!" Miao Yongyi said in a low voice, his curiosity piqued.
"Where did you learn all these skills? Is this what special agent training teaches? If we hadn't grown up together, I would recognize you even if you were ashes. I'd even suspect you'd been replaced!"
Miao Yongyi had many old operatives who had been brought from Nanjing by Ning Zhiheng. They often told Miao Yongyi about Ning Zhiheng's great achievements in Nanjing. At first, Miao Yongyi thought they were spreading rumors and flattering Ning Zhiheng. But later he realized that his brother was truly worthy of his reputation. He had a great reputation in the Military Intelligence Bureau and was one of the top counter-espionage experts in the Bureau.
"These guys have forgotten the confidentiality agreement! They don't hold back at all, they say everything!"
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't want to explain further to Miao Yongyi. His deeds in Nanjing were no longer a top secret. So much time had passed, it was inevitable that his old subordinates would bring them up and boast about them.
Miao Yongyi chuckled and said, "They were just chatting idly when they had nothing to do. I was the one who asked around. Don't cause them any trouble."
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject. The intelligence department had strict discipline, and if he really took it to heart, his brothers would probably be in trouble.
"Zhiheng, leave this to me. I'll definitely catch this guy and won't let you down!"
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, his expression turning serious. He said in a deep voice, "I asked you to find someone, not to arrest someone. You just need to find this person, but you absolutely cannot alert him. I need to follow this lead to find his informant. Remember, this matter is top secret. I'm assigning you five people. This case is only for you to know. After you find him, report to me, and then issue a gag order. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone. Do you understand?"
Seeing Ning Zhiheng's seriousness, Miao Yongyi naturally knew the importance of this matter. As a well-trained Whampoa Military Academy officer, his discipline and obedience were of course beyond question. He immediately replied in a low voice, "Yes, we will definitely not alert the target. After the operation, we will issue a gag order and will not let it leak out!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is your first time leading an intelligence operation. I know you've learned a lot from your teammates since joining the intelligence station, but this is a real operation, so you need to think things through carefully!"
"Yes!" Miao Yongyi nodded and accepted the order.
Ning Zhiheng's purpose in searching for this target was simply to secretly find the intelligence agent, ascertain his identity, and have a clear understanding of the situation. However, he would never take action to arrest him, because this informant had not been infiltrating for long. If he were to arrest him without any intelligence gathering activities, it would arouse suspicion from the Japanese regarding Shanghai, posing a certain danger to He Siming.
