Bao Hong has been feeling quite agitated these past few days because of the commendation he received a couple of days ago.
Some people are like that; they can watch unrelated people rise to prominence, since it has nothing to do with them, but they cannot tolerate those around them rising to the top and surpassing them. Bao Hong is such a person.
In this commendation, four officers in the First Operations Section were promoted, two of whom were promoted to field-grade officers, completing an important step. All other personnel received commendations, making it a very successful and happy event.
But how could the Third Operations Division just stand by and watch with envy?
Many of Bao Hong's subordinates did indeed have grievances, privately believing that Bao Hong's relationship with the two section chiefs above him was not good, which prevented his officers from getting military merits. Bao Hong was quite annoyed, which is why he couldn't help but say some sour grapes to Wei Yong.
Upon hearing Bao Hong's scathing remarks, Wei Yong was immediately displeased. Everyone knew that the main reason why the First Action Division was able to reap so many benefits was because Director Ning was paving the way for his own cronies. This Bao Hong was so ignorant, even complaining about something like this. He really didn't know the meaning of death. With Director Ning's methods, this bastard would cause trouble sooner or later. It was better for Wei Yong to stay away from him. Thinking of this, Wei Yong turned his head away without saying a word and ignored him completely.
Just then, the conference room door opened, and Ning Zhiheng stepped into the conference room first, followed closely by Shao Wenguang. As soon as they entered, they saw a room full of officers, which startled Shao Wenguang. He had not expected that Ning Zhiheng had gathered all the officers from the Action Section.
All the officers stood up and stood at attention. Ning Zhiheng looked at his many subordinates and nodded. The officers then sat down and waited for Ning Zhiheng's instructions.
Ning Zhiheng looked coldly at his officers and, without any preamble, went straight to the point: "Today is a coordinated operation. We have already cracked the Japanese spy group, Rose. This Japanese spy organization is different from ordinary spy organizations; it is large in size, with a total of thirty-eight spies. We have already arrested five spies, and the remaining thirty-three spies will be arrested simultaneously."
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, all the officers were invigorated. The capture of so many targets at once was undoubtedly a major case, and their participation presented a golden opportunity to earn merit.
Ning Zhiheng continued, "I will assign you targets in a moment. You will each be responsible for your own targets. Whoever fails to achieve their target will be held accountable. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
At the same time, after arresting the targets, immediately search their residences and seize their properties. I want to emphasize that this case is definitely a high-profile case that will attract widespread attention. The targets are all government officials with assets and businesses, involving many aspects and considerable wealth. Everyone must keep their hands to themselves. If anyone dares to embezzle or cheat during this operation, they will be dealt with according to military law. Do you understand?
"clear!"
The officers acknowledged the order in unison, and Ning Zhiheng nodded, assigning their respective target lists to the corresponding officers.
Ning Zhiheng ordered again, "Everyone, act quickly and finish the setup as soon as possible. Let's all start at six o'clock sharp this morning!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Watching all the arresting officers set off, Ning Zhiheng instructed Zhao Jiang: "You are in charge of arresting Wang Hongcai. This man has a powerful background and is not ordinary. Take more men with you. If anyone dares to resist arrest with a gun, do not be polite. Except for Wang Hongcai, you can kill anyone else on the spot."
Wu Hongcai was the primary target. Due to his special status, Ning Zhiheng was not comfortable with others handling the matter and instead entrusted it to Zhao Jiang.
"Yes!" Zhao Jiang knew this was the most important task and naturally understood its significance.
"Old Shao!"
"arrive!"
"You are in charge of raiding the Jingfu Club. Make sure to bring back the safe. It contains irrefutable evidence of these people's treason. With it, we can go all out. I want to put on a good show and let everyone know the strength of our Second Division's raid."
Since he was destined to confront the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Ning Zhiheng had to solidify the drug case and leave everyone speechless.
With everything arranged and personnel dispatched, Ning Zhiheng remained in his office, keeping watch over the phone and handling any unexpected situations.
Time passed slowly, and although he hadn't slept all night, Ning Zhiheng felt no fatigue. He looked out at the dark night, his mind highly focused, carefully thinking about and analyzing the impending situation.
Two hours later, thirty-three spies were arrested, and twenty-one of them were key members of the national government. One can imagine the sensation this would cause in the entire city of Chongqing.
All forces will focus their attention on this case, but Ning Zhiheng is not worried at all. After all, the power behind him is enormous. Whether it is the Baoding faction of the military or the Military Intelligence Bureau to which he belongs, they are all capable of suppressing the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
Furthermore, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) would not stand up to them for the sake of Wu Hongcai, who had already been turned by Japanese spies, unless they wanted to humiliate themselves.
As for the Director, he would only take a supportive attitude towards this matter. He usually looks for opportunities to suppress the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). Now that he has irrefutable evidence, the Director will never let this opportunity pass. He will even relentlessly pursue it and teach the CBIS a lesson. Therefore, Ning Zhiheng is fearless and not worried about the impending impact.
At six o'clock in the morning, teams of Kuomintang agents stormed into the target's residence. The sudden arrest operation launched by the Second Operation Division shattered the peace of Chongqing.
By 7:00 a.m., all the targets had been brought back to Operations Division Two, and their residences were searched and their properties seized. All operations were underway.
In the office of the Second Operations Division Chief, Wei Jiamu, the head of the interrogation section, was explaining to Chief Ning Zhiheng, “Chief, I’m really overwhelmed. There were already some prisoners in this cell, but in just half a month, we’ve arrested nearly eighty more, and each of them wants to be held in solitary confinement. I’ve already vacated the entire building, but there are still two floors that haven’t been renovated. Many rooms don’t even have iron doors installed. I can only send more people to guard them, but our interrogation section is always short-staffed. This means we don’t have enough interrogators. Moreover, we already have two interrogation rooms, and the newly expanded one hasn’t been renovated yet. Now, Section Chief Wei, Section Chief Bao, and Section Chief Shao all claim that the prisoners they’ve arrested are important criminals, and they’re arguing fiercely over these two interrogation rooms. They’re all coming to me to complain. I’m so wronged! You can’t cook without rice!”
