However, this was just hearsay; he never expected to actually encounter one today. He couldn't help but curse his bad luck. His first battle back in Chongqing to lead the crackdown was against this tough opponent. He didn't even dare to use the electric chair on him. However, Ning Zhiheng knew that such anti-torture methods were only supplementary. After all, people are made of flesh and blood, and how could they completely abandon their physiological reactions? He believed that as long as the torture continued, no one could withstand the endless torment and pain, and it was only a matter of time before he opened his mouth.
Besides, Ji Yongyan's identity is already confirmed and undeniable. I can also verify their relationship through Xia Bin and his wife. Xia Bin cannot be tortured, but Song Anxian is not prohibited from doing so.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng ordered, "Take him away for treatment. This person is very important, and there can be no problems whatsoever. Give him an injection of sulfonamide, and continue the interrogation tomorrow. I don't believe he's made of iron!"
His men quickly nodded in agreement, untied Ji Yongyan from the wooden stake, and dragged him away.
Ning Zhiheng raised his hand to check the time. Several hours had passed since the interrogation of Ji Yongyan, and it was already past midnight. He then signaled for everyone to rest. Everyone had been working for a day and a night and was exhausted. After hearing the order, they went back to rest.
At 8:00 a.m. the next day, at the window of a surveillance point in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, Shao Wenguang was carefully observing a house across the street with binoculars.
The door behind them opened, and an action team member came in carrying breakfast, placing it on the table.
Hong Li, the intelligence captain under his command, also looked at the house across the street and said, "Section Chief, we can handle this kind of thing. There's no need for you to lead the team personally."
Without turning his head, Shao Wenguang continued to look out the window: "I'm not at ease! The leak case is the most important case, and it's also the first case that the Director is in charge of cracking down on. Song Anxian is the only suspicious point. The Director entrusted this task to me, which shows his trust in me, so there can't be the slightest mistake."
"Section Chief, according to you, Xia Bin and his wife must be Japanese spies. Why don't we just arrest them and interrogate them, then we'll know?"
"Perhaps the director has other considerations. However, the director said that there will be results in the next day or two. We can't keep an eye on things for too long, so we must keep a close watch and absolutely cannot let any problems occur on our watch!"
"yes!"
Hong Li nodded in agreement, then leaned closer with a grin and asked in a low voice, "Section Chief, I heard that you were with two division chiefs before the war. We know about Division Chief Wei, but we haven't been able to get in touch with Division Chief Ning. We've always heard that he's a notoriously ruthless person in our Military Intelligence Bureau, known as the number one action expert. Is that true?"
Hong Li was a member of the Baoding clique transferred from the military during the expansion of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He didn't know Ning Zhiheng very well. After joining the Second Operations Division, he only met him a few times, and the only time he met him was through Tan Jinhui, who was his double. Naturally, he had some doubts about this infamous Ning Yanwang, which is why he asked his superior.
Shao Wenguang turned to look at Hong Li and couldn't help but chuckle. However, he and Hong Li usually had a good relationship, so he didn't reprimand him. He casually handed the binoculars to his subordinate to continue monitoring, then went to the table, picked up a pastry, took a bite, and said smugly as he ate, "That's because you guys haven't had much contact with them. If you're talking about the Military Intelligence Bureau, I'm the one who knows these two brothers best!"
To be honest, you don't really understand Director Wei. Don't be fooled by his gentle and pleasant demeanor. Everyone thinks he has a good temper, but that's only because he's in a good mood because of Deputy Director Huang. Otherwise, you'd really think he's easy to get along with.
When Director Wei first joined the Military Intelligence Bureau, I followed him. He was young but meticulous and courageous. In Guangzhou, a place where warlords ran rampant, he turned the tide with the strength of a mere captain, forcing all forces to bow down and easily resolving a military disaster. His demeanor is still unforgettable. Later, when he was transferred to headquarters, we old folks learned just how many people he had killed. To say he was ruthless and merciless would not be an exaggeration.
You'd think that Director Wei was outstanding enough, right? But then Director Ning joined the Military Intelligence Bureau, and that's when people realized what a genius he was! Less than half a year after joining the Military Intelligence Bureau, he swept through the Japanese intelligence network in Nanjing, uncovering many high-ranking Japanese agents who had been lying low for years, and turning the tide of Sino-Japanese espionage in one fell swoop.
He rose through the ranks from second lieutenant to major, and headquarters specially created an action group for him, appointing him as its commander. He was in charge of all major operations of the Military Intelligence Bureau. At that time, Director Ning had only graduated for half a year and had just turned twenty.
You should have heard about what happened next. He led his troops to the Battle of Shanghai and made many outstanding contributions. Even the senior generals of the General Headquarters personally recommended him for commendation and promoted him several times, which is how he reached his current high position.
Actually, everyone knows that Director Ning's contributions go far beyond what's mentioned above. It's just that our Military Intelligence Bureau's secrecy regulations prevent this from being revealed. In short, remember this: Director Ning is not someone who can be easily fooled. He is extremely strict with his subordinates and hates anyone who disobeys him. Frankly, it's a good thing he's relinquished control of the Second Division's affairs; it gives everyone a breather. Otherwise, given his character, even Deputy Director Huang would have to give way!
Shao Wenguang's words sent a chill down the spines of everyone in the room. They had never imagined that their superior in the Second Division would be so powerful. They had previously harbored a sense of complacency, but it seemed that their days were numbered.
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, the phone rang. Hong Li picked up the phone and answered it. He was immediately struck by lightning and quickly said to Shao Wenguang, "Section Chief, it's the Director on the phone!"
Shao Wenguang quickly put down his breakfast, took the phone, nodded repeatedly in agreement, then hung up and ordered, "Chief's instructions: arrest Song Anxian immediately. The crackdown on the leak case has begun!"
