Although he reacted quickly, he was caught off guard. Several more figures pounced on him from behind, pinning him to the ground. His hands and feet were held down tightly, and his head was strangled, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
A voice sounded from behind: "Chief, Dai Anhe has been captured, and all targets have been apprehended."
It's over, it's all over! Dai Anhe felt a sense of despair; the Chinese intelligence agency had come knocking on his door.
The team members quickly conducted a preliminary search of Dai Anhe, taking all his belongings before pulling him up, stuffing a cloth in his mouth, and pushing him into the courtyard outside.
Only then did he realize that his employees were being pushed out of other rooms one after another. The last one was none other than the manager, Shangguan Yong, who was also being held firmly by several burly men. His mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and he was looking at him nervously, but he couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, the driver who had just left was also pushed into the yard, and everyone was taken into custody.
Ning Zhiheng was cautious. After all, Anhe Shipping Company was run by Japanese spies, and only the team leader, Dai Anhe, knew whether there were any spies hiding inside. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng wanted to take everyone away and only release the others after the interrogation was over and it was confirmed that there were no problems.
"Take them all away, Pei Mingyuan. Your team stays behind and thoroughly searches Anhe Shipping Company. After the search, lock the gate, but don't put up any seals. Understand?"
Action team leader Pei Mingyuan immediately accepted the order and deployed personnel to conduct a search on the spot.
The group escorted all the personnel of Anhe Shipping Company back to the Second Operations Division. Just as they entered the compound, the operations team leader, Leng Qing, also escorted seven men and women back to the Second Operations Division.
"Chief, this is Lou Shaoguang, along with his family and shop assistants. I've brought them all back and arranged for people to search the shop and residence. As you instructed, in the end, we'll just close the doors, not seal them!"
Ning Zhiheng glanced at them, nodded, and said, "Take everyone to the interrogation department and put them in isolation. I'll make a phone call, and then we'll begin the interrogation."
Ning Zhiheng returned to his office, picked up the phone, and called Huang Xianzheng.
"Director, this is Zhiheng. I need to dispatch a fast ship to Yichang, today, the sooner the better."
Ning Zhiheng briefly explained the situation of the Xinfeng Group over the phone, and then said again, "Yichang is a key forward location for us, yet Japanese spies treat it as nothing, coming and going freely. This transportation channel must be eliminated, or the consequences will be unimaginable. I have already obtained important clues, so I want to send someone to Yichang to carry out the arrest operation. I remember that Feng Bo, the head of the military law department of the 15th Division stationed in Yichang, is your former subordinate. I would like him to assist in the operation. Please give me a heads-up. Okay, okay, I understand!"
After everything was arranged, Ning Zhiheng put down the phone. Just then, a report came from outside.
"Come in!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Zhao Jiang entered, carrying a radio in his arms. He excitedly placed it on the table and handed a codebook to Ning Zhiheng. Standing at attention, he reported, "Chief, I have searched Dai Anhe's and Shangguan Yong's residences. This radio was found in the attic of Dai Anhe's house, along with this codebook."
While Ning Zhiheng was taking action, he sent Zhao Jiang to search the homes of the two men, and the search yielded a great harvest.
"Well done! Another radio and codebook, you've done a great job this time." Ning Zhiheng took the codebook, overjoyed. "Where are their families?"
"Dai Anhe's wife tried to resist and has been captured. This woman is definitely suspicious; she's very skilled and clearly trained. She almost injured one of our brothers. We also captured another maid."
Ning Zhiheng said in surprise, "Another one. Zhang Xingya didn't mention this person. I didn't expect to have this. Now, the Xinfeng Group has a total of thirteen spies."
Zhao Jiang then reported: "There was a large amount of valuables and several property deeds in Dai Anhe's safe. We also found two pistols."
Shangguan Yong lives alone. The safe in his house only contained some valuables and gold bars. A handgun and some bullets were also found during the search. I have people stationed at both locations, and surveillance points have been set up nearby to see if anyone tries to approach. Anyone suspicious will be arrested.”
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "The arrangements are good. In our line of work, we shouldn't be afraid of trouble. We can't let go of even the slightest suspicion. The reward for this leak case will be coming soon. The director is very lenient. In a few more days, you, as a captain, can be promoted to major. Keep up the good work. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Accumulate more merits, which will be very beneficial in the future."
Zhao Jiang naturally knew that the director had been paving the way for him. Hearing Ning Zhiheng say this, he was filled with enthusiasm and stood at attention to reply, "It is all thanks to your guidance, Director. I will remember it forever."
"Alright, go and call Tianming over. We're short-handed right now. Your team is responsible for my security and surveillance, which is really tight. It's time to get him involved."
"Yes!" Zhao Jiang turned and left.
