Once they receive information that Yuki Yanagida has been captured, no one can guarantee that he won't reveal the location of the communications.
The safest and most reliable method was to quickly escape and go into hiding. The operation to capture Yanagida Yukiki had generated considerable buzz. Although Huang Taoguang judged that his accomplices were unaware of Fu Cheng's cover identity and were communicating via a dead mail system, this was still just a judgment and not necessarily accurate.
Therefore, time is of the essence. It is crucial to eliminate any time the Japanese intelligence organization can react as quickly as possible.
When Liu Datong heard Ning Zhiheng ask this, he knew that time was of the essence. He secretly calculated for a moment and said, "I will definitely investigate as soon as possible. Give me this afternoon, and I will come to your residence tonight to give you the investigation results."
The investigation was completed so quickly; Liu Datong must be very capable. I originally thought I could finish it by tomorrow at the earliest. I didn't expect him to only need an afternoon. Don't underestimate that one day; it greatly increases the chances of success.
"Are you sure?" Ning Zhiheng asked again.
"I'm sure, don't worry. But to complete the investigation in such a short time, I'll need to use some of my men. I'm not the only one with inside information. I've been in the police station for so many years, and I still have some people who can help. If I mobilize them all, I'll definitely be able to get the matter cleared up before dark."
"Are you sure you can trust these brothers? Also, we can't make too much noise; the operation must be discreet. If we cause a ruckus and alert the enemy, that won't do." Ning Zhiheng hesitated. He didn't know what kind of people Liu Datong had under his command. Anyone who could get involved with the police station couldn't be an honest, ordinary citizen. He was afraid that these people were a mixed bag, and they might mess things up.
"Don't worry, I have a few trustworthy people at the police station, and I also have a few brothers I grew up with on the streets. I, Liu Datou, was able to get to my current position as a squad leader all thanks to the help of these brothers. They are all reliable and tight-lipped, and they will never hinder your important business," Liu Datong immediately assured him, patting his chest.
Ning Zhiheng nodded. It was a good thing that Liu Datong had capable men under his command. This meant that he could indirectly control this small group through Liu Datong and was able to initially form his own power.
“That would be best!” Ning Zhiheng said. He then lightly tossed a stack of banknotes onto the dining table. “This is two hundred yuan in legal tender. Consider it your operating expenses. I don’t care how you use it; I just want the results.”
Liu Datong was bewildered by Ning Zhiheng's actions. It wasn't that he hadn't accepted money before. However, as a patrol squad leader, his monthly salary was only twenty yuan, so even if he accepted bribes, there wasn't much profit left in his hands.
This is right now, when the legal tender has just been issued, and it's at its strongest. Two hundred yuan in legal tender represents several months' income for him.
"What are you doing? It's my duty to do things for you. With you as my protector, my life will be much better. I should be showing you respect, not letting you spend money!" He waved his hand repeatedly and returned the money.
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly and pushed the banknotes back to Liu Datong, saying, "It's only right to get paid for doing things. Even though you'll be working for me from now on, I can't let you run errands for free. I believe in fair rewards and punishments. Besides, you also need to arrange things for your men. If you don't take money, your men will still have to spend money, right? I can't let them work for nothing. Who wants to do something without a reward these days? I don't do things that require free labor. Don't worry, I don't care about this little bit of money. As long as you do your best in the future, you'll naturally get your share of the rewards."
He has plenty of money now, most of which he has given to his teacher He Feng, and he has also set aside some funds for his own use, just for convenience in his daily work.
Upon hearing this, Liu Datong was extremely grateful. He hadn't expected that his powerful patron, who was young and unassuming, would turn out to be such a generous and magnanimous master. It seemed his luck had finally turned, and he had finally found a powerful patron.
Unexpectedly, Liu Datong received this windfall, and he was overjoyed. Money brings prestige; when he flaunted this stack of banknotes in front of his brothers, the sheer scale and the impressive sight would be incredibly impressive.
