In Huang Xianzheng's office, Huang Xianzheng was handling official business when the phone rang. Huang Xianzheng picked up the phone, and it was Ning Zhiheng's voice.
"Director, my senior brother and I have something to report to you. Do you have time now?"
"Come on over, I'm waiting for you!" Huang Xianzheng replied with a smile.
"We've also brought a friend to visit you. Is that convenient for you?"
Huang Xianzheng was taken aback and asked, "What friend?"
"You'll see when you see it. Please tell Secretary Yu!"
"All right!"
Huang Xianzheng put down the phone, feeling surprised. Ning Zhiheng hadn't clearly stated who the visitor was, so it must be someone very important. He called his secretary, Yu, and instructed, "In a little while, Zhiheng and Liangbi will come to report on their work, along with a friend. Just let them in."
"Yes, Director!" Secretary Yu nodded in agreement. He was not only Huang Xianzheng's personal secretary, but also in charge of Huang Xianzheng's security. Without prior notification, no unauthorized personnel could see Huang Xianzheng, and Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi would not have been able to bring Tan Jinhui to Huang Xianzheng.
Given the sheer size of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the complex layout in Chongqing, it was difficult to house such a large department in one location, especially since the Second Action Division had a large number of personnel. Therefore, it was placed in a separate location, quite a distance from headquarters.
Ning Zhiheng and the others drove to the headquarters. Tan Jinhui covered his face with a scarf. The three of them arrived at the door of Huang Xianzheng's office. Secretary Yu was already waiting there. After seeing them, she gestured for them to enter.
The three men entered Huang Xianzheng's office. Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi stood at attention and saluted. Huang Xianzheng looked at Tan Jinhui behind the two men and asked with a smile, "This is your friend. Why are you being so secretive?"
Ning Zhiheng gestured for Tan Jinhui to put down the scarf, which immediately startled Huang Xianzheng.
"What's going on?" He walked a few steps to Tan Jinhui, examined him carefully for a moment, and then turned to Ning Zhiheng to ask.
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "This man is Tan Jinhui. He's a stand-in I finally managed to find. He'll be stationed in Chongqing from now on. I brought him here today specifically to let you see him. What do you think?"
Huang Xianzheng nodded repeatedly and said, "It's very similar, completely indistinguishable from the real thing. It's practically your shadow. I wonder where you found such a similar stand-in."
However, after Ning Zhiheng had Tan Jinhui say a few words, Huang Xianzheng also noticed something unusual.
“His voice has some issues, which will give him away, especially since you’ve been at headquarters for too long. Many people are familiar with your voice, and these people are not ordinary people; they are all experienced veteran agents. For example, Zhao Ziliang, who was your former superior, will expose you as soon as you make contact!” Huang Xianzheng said, shaking his head.
Ning Zhiheng sighed and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about, which is why I want to discuss this with you. From now on, his use will be arranged by you. Try to let him appear alone as much as possible and avoid contact with those old people, or at least minimize contact. In short, as long as he can prove that I've been staying in Chongqing, that's fine!"
Huang Xianzheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Alright, I'll arrange this matter. We'll also need to find a good excuse to cover for you. I'll discuss this with the Director. I know your situation in Shanghai is difficult and dangerous. Liangbi and I will fully cooperate with you. There won't be any problems in Chongqing!"
Hearing Huang Xianzheng's assurance, Ning Zhiheng finally felt relieved. Huang Xianzheng was experienced and shrewd, and having him arrange the use of the shadow would ensure his safety to the greatest extent.
