It was already 2 a.m. Yoshida Ryusuke was too weak and had collapsed into a coma. Ning Zhiheng was also exhausted. He threw the portrait aside, waved his hand, and signaled his men to take Yoshida Ryusuke back. Only then did he return to his office and rest on the sofa for the night.
These past few days, Ning Zhiheng has been on a constant rush, like a wound-up alarm clock that never stops. He's basically resting in his office now.
The next afternoon, Ning Zhiheng finally received a call from Chen Xing, who said that he had found a rickshaw driver who knew Wei San's usual whereabouts and was rushing to report to Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng immediately ordered him to bring the person over. Liu Yong was also there to pay his respects to the Second Division. Liu Yong used to be Ning Zhiheng's backup, but he hadn't seen Ning Zhiheng for a long time. When he heard that Chen Xing was coming to pay his respects to Ning Zhiheng, he quickly came over with him.
Ning Zhiheng sent Zhao Jiang to lead everyone to his office. When Liu Yong saw Ning Zhiheng, he quickly bowed to greet him.
Ning Zhiheng laughed and said, "I heard from Da Tou that your car dealership is doing quite well. You own the entire Yuzhong District. That's impressive!"
Liu Yong blushed and chuckled, "It's all thanks to Brother Datou's help. When we first came to Chongqing, the place was full of locals carrying sedan chairs, which caused us a lot of trouble. Later, Brother Datou and Commander Wei stepped in, and we finally had a place to make a living. Now we're doing pretty well."
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "Although the car dealership business doesn't make a lot of money, it can help us with a lot of things. I'll need your help in the future."
After chatting with Liu Yong for a few minutes, Chen Xing got down to business and pointed to a rickshaw driver behind him, saying, "His name is Zeng Youming, and he is also a driver for our company. He said he often sees Wei San while driving his rickshaw. He mentioned a few places, but I didn't know which to choose, so I simply brought him here to you."
Ning Zhiheng nodded in acknowledgment and began to question Zeng Youming carefully, quickly figuring out the situation.
It turned out that Zeng Youming had been waiting for business in the Nanjiangmen area recently. He had often seen Wei San in that area for more than a month. When he heard that the shopkeeper wanted to find Wei San's whereabouts and offered a large reward, he finally revealed the truth to the shopkeeper.
"Nanjiang Gate? Could you specify its exact location?"
"At the fourth street down from Nanjiang Gate, at the entrance of Liujia Lane, after I started picking up people at the dock, I would often buy some food at the food stalls there before going to the dock to wait for business. I have seen Wei San here at least three times in the past month. He would rest there."
Ning Zhiheng asked, "Did you see the woman in the car?"
Ning Zhiheng placed Zhang Fangwen's photo in front of him. Zeng Youming glanced at it and nodded, explaining, "I've seen her twice. This woman got off the car to run errands, and Wei San was waiting for her at the intersection. He was lucky; unlike me, he didn't have to go to the dock to wait for business."
Ning Zhiheng hurriedly asked, "Do you know where this woman went?"
“I do know. Once when they came, the woman got out of the car and walked towards the dock. I was going to the dock to pick up people. After walking a few steps, I saw her walk into a house. I often pick up people there. I know that place. It’s the back door of Yuanze Trading Company.”
Zeng Youming's words immediately cheered Ning Zhiheng up. He had finally reconnected with the lead, so he quickly picked up the phone and dialed the Second Intelligence Division.
"This is Ning Zhiheng. Have Yu Cheng answer the phone. He's not here? Find him immediately and have him report to me right away."
Since Ning Zhiheng had entrusted the task of tracking the suspect to Yu Cheng, he wouldn't start his own operation. He would give the credit to Yu Cheng, which would be fair to him.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhiheng felt relieved and said to Zeng Youming with a smile, "You did a great job, this is a great achievement."
Ning Zhiheng called Zhao Jiang in, wrote a note for him, and instructed him: "Go to the finance department and collect five hundred US dollars."
Zhao Jiang turned and left. Ning Zhiheng then said to Liu Yong and Chen Xing, "During this time, send more drivers who know Wei San to the Nanjiangkou area to keep an eye on Wei San's whereabouts. He probably won't show up as a driver anymore, but since he often appears there, there must be a reason."
"Yes!" Liu Yong and Chen Xing nodded in acceptance.
