The violent impact left Chiemi Tanikawa's hands covered in blood, and her nose was also bleeding. However, she still tightly protected her face and dared not lower her hands.
Seeing Tanikawa Chiemi's reaction, Ning Zhiheng suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He keenly sensed that his opponent cherished her appearance extremely, and even in the face of life and death, she was still subconsciously protecting her face.
It seems that all beautiful women are like this, even a trained Japanese spy like Silver Fox.
However, this is also a weakness that Ning Zhiheng can exploit. No matter who it is, as long as they have concerns or fears, they can be used as a breakthrough point.
Seeing that Chiemi Tanikawa had lost the ability to resist, but Ning Zhiheng himself never carried handcuffs or anything like that, he looked around, then untied the white cloth that Chiemi Tanikawa had wrapped around her head, and tied her hands behind her back.
Then he began searching Chiemi Tanikawa's body. He first checked her collar but found no poison such as potassium cyanide. To be on the safe side, he simply tore off her collar and checked her hair, but found nothing amiss.
Chiemi Tanikawa had no strength left and was powerless to resist. She allowed Ning Zhiheng to control her. Watching Ning Zhiheng search her thoroughly, she let out a low, hoarse groan and said weakly, "I never hide those things on my person!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded upon hearing this: "It seems you are very rational, which is for the best. I like dealing with rational people like you because you know what's important and what to respect, unlike those lunatics."
To be on the safe side, Ning Zhiheng did not stop the search and soon found a thin steel needle on the inside of her left forearm.
"Very interesting!"
Ning Zhiheng examined it carefully. The thin steel needle was only ten centimeters long, with a sharp tip and a very tough material. If used properly, this weapon could be a deadly weapon for close-quarters assassination. With practice, it could even be used to open handcuffs, shackles, and other simple locks.
Seeing this, Chiemi Tanikawa realized that her opponent was meticulous and that she probably had no chance to take advantage of the situation, so she gave up on the idea and remained silent with her lips tightly closed.
Ning Zhiheng quickly finished the search. He took a few steps, picked up the pistol on the ground, grabbed Tanikawa Chiemi, and headed towards the place where the gunshot had been heard. Not long after, Zhao Jiang and several team members also rushed over. When he saw Ning Zhiheng, he couldn't help but relax and finally felt relieved.
Although he knew that Ning Zhiheng's operational capabilities were extremely high, far surpassing those of his own team members, Ning Zhiheng was still a high-ranking and powerful figure with a special status, and his safety could not be compromised in the slightest. Therefore, after dealing with the scene, he immediately led his men to meet Ning Zhiheng.
As he approached, Zhao Jiang was surprised to see Ning Zhiheng tying up a disheveled young man. Could this be the target the Chief wanted to arrest?
Seeing Zhao Jiang arrive, Ning Zhiheng asked directly, "How's the situation over there?"
"Wei San has been caught. This guy is quite tactically capable and has a very accurate shot. Several brothers were killed or wounded. Fortunately, Leng Qing caught him. When we surrounded him, we wounded him. He has now been captured, but we haven't found Silver Fox yet."
At this point, Zhao Jiang looked at the tightly bound Tanikawa Chiemi. This young man was quite different from the Silver Fox in the photo. Judging from his skin color and attire, he was clearly an ordinary man.
Chiemi Tanikawa hung her head, her hair disheveled, obscuring her face. But when she heard the words "Silver Fox," her heart skipped a beat; the other party was indeed after her.
Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, and immediately ordered, "Fall back, we'll know once we get back and interrogate them properly."
Ning Zhiheng is still not entirely sure whether the creature he captured was actually a silver fox. He will know once he returns and verifies its identity.
Ning Zhiheng led his men back to the Second Operations Division and immediately detained the two captured individuals separately on the fifth floor of the interrogation room. He also dispatched several female officers to conduct a thorough search of Tanikawa Chiemi and remove all the disguise from her face.
In the damp and gloomy interrogation room, under the dim light, Ning Zhiheng finally felt completely at ease looking at Tanikawa Chiemi, who had completely regained her appearance.
Ning Zhiheng walked up to Tanikawa Chiemi and smiled faintly: "Miss Tanikawa, I have long admired your name. We have clashed several times and almost missed each other. Today, I, Ning, will finally be able to see your true face."
Chiemi Tanikawa also looked up at Ning Zhiheng. This was the first time she had had a chance to carefully observe her opponent since her arrest.
This was a very young man with neat, short hair and a slightly aloof appearance. Although he was only wearing a simple Zhongshan suit, he stood very straight. In particular, his slightly narrowed eyes shot out a cold and penetrating gaze, as if being looked at would make one's blood run cold.
Chiemi Tanikawa, having seen countless people, knew at a glance that the person before her was the most difficult to deal with—resolute and ruthless, possessing strong self-confidence and difficult to be influenced by others.
Despite being bound to the wooden stake, Chiemi Tanikawa seemed completely unaware that she was a prisoner. She smiled sweetly and said softly, "This seems a bit unfair. You know my name, but I don't know yours."
Ning Zhiheng nodded. This woman was indeed different from his previous opponents. Despite being trapped in a predicament, she was able to remain calm. This was not feigned composure, because Ning Zhiheng could clearly sense that there was no fear or anxiety in the silver fox's tone.
However, all of this was meaningless to Ning Zhiheng. He didn't know where his opponent's confidence came from. He only knew that at this moment, no matter who fell into his hands, they would have no choice but to bow their heads and admit defeat. This was true confidence.
"I am Ning Zhiheng, the director of the Second Operations Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau!"
Ning Zhiheng spoke with arrogance, knowing that as one of the top officials in the Military Intelligence Bureau, these Japanese wouldn't be completely unaware of him.
Indeed, this was the case. As soon as Ning Zhiheng said this, Tanikawa Chiemi's eyes suddenly opened slightly. She did not expect that the person who personally arrested her was the same action director mentioned in the telegram from headquarters a few days ago.
"Ning Yanwang?"
Ning Zhiheng frowned slightly. He had this nickname for a long time, but Tanikawa Chiemi was the first person to dare to call him that to his face.
