When Ning Zhiheng saw Lin Zhen's anger, he knew that Lin Zhen had misunderstood his intentions. He was not so foolish as to actually dare to come to Lin Zhen's door to cause trouble.
Ning Zhiheng looked helpless, spread his hands, and said with a wry smile, "Master You, what are you saying? We juniors are not so bold as to come to your door to cause trouble. Not to mention that this is insubordination, even as members of the Baoding faction, infighting and fighting among ourselves would only make us a laughing stock for outsiders."
Ning Zhiheng's words gradually softened Lin Zhen's expression. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that his entanglement with Ning Zhiheng and the others had not yet reached this point.
Ning Zhiheng said no more at this point. He took out the meteorological observation record, handed it to Lin Zhen, and explained: "Shi Liqun, whose real name is Lao Guangyao, was originally an engineer at the Qingdao Meteorological Bureau. After Qingdao fell, the Japanese needed to establish a meteorological observation team to infiltrate Chongqing and prepare for the Japanese bombing of Chongqing. So they selected Lao Guangyao and sent him to the intelligence department of the military headquarters in Wuhan for training. At the beginning of this year, he was sent to Chongqing to carry out meteorological observation tasks. Later, by chance, the Lin family needed to hire an English teacher for your son, so he came to your home. This is some data he recorded from his meteorological observations. You can compare it with his handwriting from when he was at the Lin residence, or ask your son to check and verify it in person."
Moreover, this person's original information can be easily verified. There are only a handful of local meteorological bureaus in our country, and he's an engineer. If you just check the old files, you're sure to find Lao Guangyao's information. He's in the car outside right now. If needed, I'll bring him in immediately so you can question him personally.”
Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise and doubt. He was experienced and could tell that Ning Zhiheng did not seem to be lying to him. Could he really be a Japanese spy?
Suspicious, he grabbed the weather record and began to look through it. The weather record was very detailed, and soon he understood what it was for.
This is the data used to predict and judge weather changes. Based on the meteorological conditions observed each day, a table is made to understand the local weather change habits and characteristics. It can accurately predict whether heavy fog may occur in the Nan'an District in the next few hours. In this way, Japanese aircraft can decide whether to take off from Wuhan based on the prediction results.
For a moment, the room was silent. Neither Lin Zhen nor Ning Zhiheng spoke. Ning Zhiheng waited quietly for Lin Zhen's response.
"Clang!"
Lin Zhen slammed the observation record onto the coffee table, his face ashen. "Damn it, they actually dared to sneak up right under my nose!"
Ning Zhiheng knew that Lin Zhen believed what he had said, and his spirits lifted. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Zhen asked, "Is the person outside?"
Ning Zhiheng hurriedly nodded and replied, "He's in the car outside. He was just interrogated, and he's in a bad mental state."
After saying that, he quickly explained, "It's just simple interrogation, there's absolutely no possibility of extracting a confession through torture. I'll bring the person in right away."
"No need!" Lin Zhen waved his hand to interrupt him. He didn't take this small matter to heart. Even if his tutor was really a Japanese spy, it wouldn't affect him at all. He was just unwilling to accept it. He didn't expect that a Japanese spy was hiding in his house.
He began, "Now that your identity has been verified, just do it officially. To be honest, what's the big deal about this Shi Liqun, no, what's the big deal?"
"Lao Guangyao!"
“Yes, Lao Guangyao! This person actually has no connection with me. He was just someone I found at the school to teach the children English. Who knew it would be such a coincidence? Now that we know he is a Japanese spy, I will not protect him and will not cause any more trouble. Just follow the rules.”
“Yes, after all, he is your family tutor, so I still need to ask for your permission. Now that you have made your decision, I know what to do,” Ning Zhiheng nodded and said.
But he was secretly pleased. As long as Lin Zhen admitted that Shi Liqun was a Japanese spy, then the real confrontation between the two would begin.
"only…"
Lin Zhen frowned. He knew this young man wouldn't give up so easily. He asked coldly, "But what? Are you going to search my house? How dare you!"
Ning Zhiheng looked troubled again and explained, "You're exaggerating. Why go to such lengths? How dare I search your house? Besides, I'm just here alone. How can I search your house? Even if a search is necessary, you can just check it yourself. I will do as you instruct."
Lin Zhen's expression softened slightly, but he said impatiently, "Then just say it straight. Don't keep beating around the bush. Soldiers should act like soldiers. All the good students have become so slippery and cunning after joining the Military Intelligence Bureau."
Seeing that Lin Zhen was already impatient, Ning Zhiheng knew he couldn't prolong the situation any longer. He coughed lightly and then formally began to speak: "Lord You, I'll be frank then. This Shi Liqun has a serious problem. He has already revealed an important issue."
"What important question? Speak frankly!"
"Yes, that refers to the Japanese 106th Division, which was surrounded by our army in the Battle of Changsha, successfully escaping our encirclement. The reason for this was that Shi Liqun obtained confidential intelligence from you that our army would launch a general offensive on October 4th. After sending this intelligence to the Japanese, the Japanese suddenly broke out on October 3rd, successfully escaping their predicament and returning to Wuning. This caused our encirclement to fail, wasting a great opportunity..."
