Wei Liangbi's promotion is undoubtedly beneficial to Ning Zhiheng. By doing him such a great favor, and considering their fellow disciples, Wei Liangbi will become Ning Zhiheng's most steadfast supporter in the future!
"Zhiheng, do we brothers need to worry so much? The investigation of this case was all done by you, and no one could steal your credit!" Although Wei Liangbi was very tempted, he was also a man of pride, so he persuaded Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng knew that Wei Liangbi was also proud and arrogant, and that he wouldn't want to lose face, so he directly stated the pros and cons, saying, "Senior brother, I'm not being polite. Think about it, if we really solve this big case, what benefits will I get from this small position? It'll just be a lieutenant becoming a captain. To be honest, I could get promoted to lieutenant-level officer in two more years! But for promotion to field-level officer, just being a graduate of Whampoa Military Academy isn't enough. You can't get promoted without significant achievements! Let's not waste time saying these useless things!"
Wei Liangbi patted Ning Zhiheng on the shoulder gratefully and nodded, saying, "Alright, then let's not waste any more time. I'll take charge of the arrest!"
Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi had already made their decision, so they quickly sent Sun Jiacheng out to contact Shao Wenguang and instruct him to notify the Military Intelligence Bureau as soon as he had any news.
Sun Jiacheng was deeply grateful to the captain Ning Zhiheng for saving him this time. He obeyed Ning Zhiheng's orders unconditionally. Only after seeing that Ning Zhiheng was indeed in good health did he feel relieved and immediately took his orders and left!
Meanwhile, the entire Third Action Team was ordered to stand by and prepare for action! Seeing Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng taking this so seriously, Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng knew that a major operation was about to take place, so they both perked up and were ready for battle!
Time passed slowly, and Ning Zhiheng and Wei Liangbi waited anxiously in the office. Around 6 p.m., the phone rang in Wei Liangbi's office.
Wei Liangbi grabbed the phone, and soon Shao Wenguang's voice came through. A short while later, Wei Liangbi hung up and excitedly told Ning Zhiheng, "Old Shao has confirmed the contact's identity. Let's go over there now, assess the situation and environment, and prepare to take action!"
Without saying a word, Ning Zhiheng turned around and went out to gather the action team, and soon the group set off!
On the train, Wei Liangbi explained the situation reported by Shao Wenguang to Ning Zhiheng.
At noon at the restaurant, after Ning Zhiheng and his group left, the contact person leisurely walked out of the private room after waiting for ten minutes.
Shao Wenguang followed the contact person all the way. This contact person was very experienced in counter-surveillance and made two attempts to test him along the way. Fortunately, Shao Wenguang was alert and did not notice.
Finally, they tracked down the contact's location to a small detached house in the south of the city.
The contact returned home and stayed for an hour. In the afternoon, he went to a nearby primary school to teach. Shao Wenguang quickly figured out his situation.
Xie Ziming, a 36-year-old man from Northeast China, had just been hired as a Chinese language teacher at Hongcheng Elementary School a few days ago.
Shao Wenguang kept an eye on him all afternoon until Sun Jiacheng sent him a message. Only then did he learn that Cui Hai had been killed in the bombing, and Xie Ziming was now the only clue. He dared not be careless and transferred all his manpower over.
Now he, along with Xiong Hongda, Gong Ji'an, and others, are guarding not far from Xie Ziming's residence, keeping a close watch, just waiting for Wei Liangbi to arrive with his men!
Soon Wei Liangbi arrived with his team. Shao Wenguang emerged from the shadows and said, "Team leader, you've come in person!"
"Is Xie Ziming still at home?" Wei Liangbi asked.
“He came back half an hour ago and hasn’t come out yet. I’ve arranged people all around this courtyard, so he’s definitely still home!” Shao Wenguang answered confidently.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and Shi Hong and Wang Shucheng each led a team to completely surround the area.
Wei Liangbi and Ning Zhiheng looked around and asked, "Zhiheng, what do you think?"
Ning Zhiheng considered for a moment and said, "We can't force our way in. Our goal is to capture him alive and find as much useful evidence as possible. If we alert him, his resistance could cost him his life or even destroy the evidence. It's best to catch him off guard and subdue him as quickly as possible!"
“That’s what I’m thinking too. We should lure him out and then ambush him outside the house!” Wei Liangbi nodded in agreement. He was also a skilled operator and had extensive experience in this area.
"I have an idea!" Wei Liangbi suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
