When he reappeared before me, he was already a colonel. What exactly happened?
However, he could tell that his cousin didn't want anyone to know about these things, and he was unwilling to talk about it further.
Tan Jinhui knew that his cousin was exceptionally intelligent, so he said, "Wenbo, promise me you won't tell our family about this. I don't want them to worry!"
"Okay!" Jiang Wenbo agreed softly. He knew his cousin must have his reasons. "Brother Hui, I'll keep it a secret for you, but you have to promise me one thing too!"
"What is it? Just tell me, and I'll definitely do it for you!" Tan Jinhui nodded quickly and said.
Jiang Wenbo said unwillingly, "Brother Hui, this time our family suffered a disaster. Those bastards, Cheng Xucai, coveted our family's property and actually wanted to kill our whole family. We were powerless to fight back. I've seen clearly that this world is dark and the strong prey on the weak. Our family escaped this time, but what about next time? I've thought it through. We can never live like this again, at the mercy of others, living a life of uncertainty."
"What do you want?" Tan Jinhui asked.
"I want to join the army like you. These days, those who wield the pen can always beat those who wield the gun. I want to abandon my pen for the sword. I heard from the army doctor that your department is the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau, with astonishing power. I want to join such a department. Is that okay?"
Jiang Wenbo stared intently into Tan Jinhui's eyes, awaiting his answer.
Jiang Wenbo had made up his mind. From now on, he would no longer be a weak scholar, helplessly exploited by powerful people. He wanted to have the power to protect his family in this world.
Tan Jinhui hesitated for a moment. This calamity in his family made him realize how insignificant he was. If he really had the power and status to protect his family, why would he have to beg Director Ning for help and lose his freedom?
So when his cousin made this decision after being provoked by this incident, Tan Jinhui didn't think anything was wrong.
In particular, the Military Intelligence Bureau does have many advantages in this regard. It is the largest intelligence privilege department of the Chinese government, and it does not directly fight against the Japanese. It is much safer than ordinary soldiers. My cousin's choice of this department is indeed a good one.
"Wenbo, have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through, Brother Hui. Can you help me?" Jiang Wenbo asked.
"I'll give it a try, and I hope you won't regret it!"
In the director's office, Ning Zhiheng looked at Tan Jinhui and said, "Now that your matter has been resolved, I think you should be satisfied!"
Tan Jinhui bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you so much for saving me, Chief. I am deeply grateful for your great kindness."
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Simply saying nice things is useless. We'll see how you perform from now on. Jinhui, always remember that you will be a soldier of the Party and the State from now on. You need to adapt to this identity as soon as possible!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment and then said, "Your identity cannot be exposed. From now on, I will arrange for Sun Jiacheng to take you under his wing. He is the person I trust the most and the one who followed me the earliest. You must obey his orders and accept his training. You must imitate me exactly, especially your accent. You must correct that."
"Yes!" Tan Jinhui quickly nodded and accepted the order.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and Tan Jinhui left Ning Zhiheng's office. Sun Jiacheng stepped in.
"Chief!"
"The Jiang and Tan families must be sent to Chongqing for separate resettlement in a timely manner. Tan Jinhui is very important, and we must be absolutely certain that we can control him."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment, then instructed, "Also, Tan Jinhui is a filial son, so I will grant him this wish and let him go back to see his family. He can find an excuse to explain to his family so they won't say I'm heartless!"
Sun Jiacheng nodded and said, "Understood. I will accompany him personally and make sure he doesn't say anything out of line. Tan Jinhui is a smart man and knows what's important, but he has one small request."
"What's his request? As long as it's not unreasonable, just agree to it!"
"His cousin was framed by Cheng Xucai and imprisoned this time. It seems he was traumatized and wants to abandon his studies to join the army and join our Military Intelligence Bureau. Tan Jinhui didn't dare to mention it to you and asked me to help arrange it. I'm not sure either, so I'm asking you for your instructions!"
"His cousin, Jiang Wenbo?" Ning Zhiheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's the person. I've investigated him. He has a clean background, is a school teacher, highly educated, and even speaks Japanese. He was tortured by Cheng Xucai for a whole day and night, but he didn't utter a sound. He's a tough guy. I think he's a promising talent. With a little training, he'll be a good hand and a good leader. It's rare to find someone who is educated, speaks Japanese, and has such backbone!"
Sun Jiacheng had done his homework thoroughly, conducting a detailed investigation into Jiang Wenbo, and found that the young man was indeed very talented, thus developing a fondness for his talent.
"So you're saying that you've agreed to Tan Jinhui's request?" Ning Zhiheng smiled faintly.
He pondered for a moment. Tan Jinhui would be his shadow from now on. If he wanted Tan Jinhui to serve him wholeheartedly, he should try to gain more leverage. Besides, Sun Jiacheng also thought highly of this person and thought he might be a useful person.
"Alright, you can arrange the details. But this person can't stay at headquarters. It's easy for him to come into contact with Tan Jinhui, which will cause trouble. Tell him to keep his mouth shut. After he recovers from his injury, send him to the training department for some training, and then send him to an outpost, somewhere far away. We'll see what fate brings him in the future."
"Yes!" Sun Jiacheng replied, accepting the order.
