For a moment, the training ground was completely silent; everyone was stunned by what had happened in such a short time.
From the moment Ning Zhiheng began his attack, he was relentless, charging forward with unstoppable force, knocking Bao Hong and the other four men to the ground.
His every move was a very ordinary fighting technique, nothing more than a combination of punches and footwork, striking, grappling and throwing. But his movements were too fast and his power was too great. He directly overwhelmed several opponents. Even the agile Bao Hong and others were like children who could not even kill a chicken in front of him.
Not to mention five minutes, not even a minute had passed. Before Bao Hong and the others could even react, they were beaten to death on the training ground.
The officers present were all pale and stunned. Even the law enforcement team members who were about to carry out military law were so frightened that they took several steps back and scattered in disarray.
All their previous expectations were dashed. There was no resistance, no confrontation, and no reversal. All that happened was a one-sided massacre!
Everyone looked at their boss, who appeared calm and unperturbed, as if he were a demon emerging from hell!
Even Wei Liangbi, who knew Ning Zhiheng best, felt a sudden chill when he saw Ning Zhiheng approaching!
He knew this outcome beforehand, and he had great confidence in Ning Zhiheng, so he had no worries and let Ning Zhiheng do as he pleased.
However, he did not expect the process to be so easy. It seems that when this junior brother sparred with others before, he had been holding back his strength. Today, when he used the killing technique in person, he truly revealed his extremely ferocious side.
Ning Zhiheng took the military cap from Wei Liangbi, gently put it on his head, and then turned to his officers, loudly ordering, "Execution over! Disperse!"
Then he turned to Nie Tianming in the queue and said, "Tianming, come to my office."
"Yes!" Nie Tianming's voice trembled slightly, but he was still able to remain calm.
Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi turned and quickly left the drill ground, leaving the officers of the Second Division looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, exchanging bewildered glances, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a word.
Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi returned to their office. Wei Liangbi went to the window and saw that the officers on the drill ground in the distance had not yet dispersed. They were still gathered around, watching the firing squad collect the bodies of Bao Hong and the others. Only then did he turn to Ning Zhiheng and say, "After this, no one in the Second Division will dare to interfere anymore. But does Deputy Director Huang really agree to what we're doing? And that Nie Tianming will take over?"
Ning Zhiheng sat in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and said nonchalantly, "Of course it took a lot of talking. Actually, I see Deputy Director Huang very clearly. He's shrewd in small matters but indecisive in big ones. To be honest, managing such a large organization as the Second Division is a bit of a stretch. His subordinates are also a mixed bag. People like Bao Hong, I knew he was unreliable, but he still cared about old friendships. I was about to take action against him, but he still tried to protect him. It really disappoints me."
Ning Zhiheng spent a lot of effort to persuade Huang Xianzheng, but deep down he did not approve of Huang Xianzheng's management ability. The bad habits of the old soldiers were hard to change. He always appointed his relatives and friends. Even a troublemaker like Bao Hong with no bottom line had been under his command for so many years. It was hard to imagine how many messes he had cleaned up for Bao Hong and how many disputes he had settled.
Although Ning Zhiheng also practiced nepotism, it was only on the premise that the person was worthy of his trust and important responsibilities. If someone dared to act so recklessly, he would have dealt with them long ago without anyone reporting them.
Wei Liangbi nodded and said, "I am aware of this, but we are still relatively inexperienced, and we have to rely on Deputy Director Huang to speak on many matters. Therefore, I have always been hesitant to take action. However, on the other hand, Deputy Director Huang is kind and approachable. As our superior, our lives are easier. It is better than dealing with a mean and suspicious person, who would probably make our lives even more difficult."
This statement makes a lot of sense. When Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi were at the bottom of their careers, Huang Xianzheng sheltered them from the storm and fought for their interests on many occasions. The fact that the two brothers were able to rise smoothly and quickly to prominence was not only due to their own outstanding abilities, but also to Huang Xianzheng's help and support behind the scenes.
Ning Zhiheng shook his head with a wry smile. No one in this world is perfect, and Huang Xianzheng, as an official, is indeed quite kind.
“We still need to strengthen our forces. Without rules, there can be no order. The management of the Second Action Division is still too lax. If we don’t get rid of someone like Bao Hong, he will cause us a lot of trouble sooner or later.”
Ning Zhiheng's nature dictates that he has never been willing to entrust his fate to others. He is always trying to expand his strength and gain more leverage. In the past, his abilities and influence were limited, so he had to rely on others. However, as his status gradually rose and his influence in the Baoding faction grew, he began to actively fight for his own interests. Nie Tianming was the beginning of this process.
Ning Zhiheng then said, "Senior brother, you need to deal with that person in Yubei as soon as possible. Be discreet and careful not to escalate the conflict."
Ning Zhiheng had already spoken with Wei Liangbi, explaining the whole story and entrusting him with handling the aftermath.
When it comes to assassination techniques, Wei Liangbi is undoubtedly the top expert in the Military Intelligence Bureau. He is meticulous in his calculations and plans, and even Ning Zhiheng admits that he is not as good as him. Entrusting these matters to him would be no problem.
Wei Liangbi nodded in agreement, and just then, Nie Tianming arrived to report for duty.
After gesturing, Wei Liangbi left the office.
Ning Zhiheng then turned to look at Nie Tianming, his expression becoming amiable. He smiled and gestured for Nie Tianming to sit down to the side.
Nie Tianming's heart was still pounding wildly. After all, he had just witnessed his superior officer beat several officers to death, and the image of those men lying limp as mud in his mind made him uneasy, even though this was his most familiar superior officer.
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "Tianming, your performance during this period has been outstanding, and I am very satisfied. To be honest, you have been suppressing yourself for too long, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Good things come to those who wait, and great things come to those who persevere. This will help you maintain a more stable mindset in the future."
Ning Zhiheng's words were pointed, and Nie Tianming, being extremely shrewd, immediately connected them to his conversation with Wei Yong that morning. His heart suddenly warmed; could it be that the Chief had really chosen him?
Sure enough, Ning Zhiheng continued, "This opportunity is excellent. I originally planned to go to great lengths to find you a suitable position, but Bao Hong just happened to step forward. It's truly a case of 'what goes around comes around,' and even the heavens are on your side. From now on, you will take over as the head of the Third Action Section. Don't let me down!"
Nie Tianming's heart was pounding in his chest. He stepped forward, stood at attention, and replied loudly, "Thank you for your guidance, Director. I will never let you down!"
