Wei Liangbi said with a smile, "We're brothers, why are you saying such things! But you said you'd try not to expose the Ning family's connection with you, so I just sent a birthday gift and didn't show up. Fortunately, with Deputy Director Huang in charge, no one dares to mess with your Ning family anymore. Everything is going smoothly, so you don't need to worry!"
The two walked and talked until they returned to Ning Zhiheng's office.
By this time, Zhao Jiang had already arranged for his subordinates to settle in Ning Zhiheng's office outside. Upon seeing Ning Zhiheng return, they quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Chief!"
Ning Zhiheng saw three young officers standing behind him and immediately recognized them as his former subordinates. His memory was exceptional, and he quickly remembered their names. He nodded and said, "Alright, you can make the arrangements! Leng Qing, Pei Mingyuan, Zeng Xingguo, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it."
These three action team leaders were all members of the Fourth Action Group when Ning Zhiheng was in Nanjing. After Ning Zhiheng went to Shanghai, he followed Zhao Jiang. When the Second Action Division was established, Ning Zhiheng promoted them to action team leaders and placed them in Zhao Jiang's action group.
Upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, the three men were greatly encouraged and excited. They knew this was a rare opportunity, so they stood at attention, saluted, and loudly agreed.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, signaling them to leave, leaving only the two brothers in the room.
Last night was too rushed, and Ning Zhiheng didn't have time to discuss many things with Wei Liangbi. Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Is there any news from Liu Datong? How is he doing as the police chief?"
"Everything is fine, but Chongqing is full of powerful officials and dignitaries now. His job is basically to run errands. He doesn't dare to offend anyone and often suffers injustice. But he has a good attitude. I helped him a few times, so others don't dare to make things too difficult for him. What, do you need him for something?"
Ning Zhiheng nodded. He had been planning this move with Liu Datong for almost a year, and now he was hoping to find a breakthrough with him and make a good start, so that everyone could see the methods of Ning Yanwang.
They initially compiled sketches and clues for six Japanese spies, but it's unclear how many Liu Datong found, or even if they were their true identities. However, he believes that with Police Chief Liu Datong's capabilities, such a long search shouldn't disappoint him!
"Let's go visit our teacher together tomorrow. I haven't visited him in so long; I'm afraid he'll be angry!"
Wei Liangbi smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I often visit my teacher and explain that you've been on a secret mission. He understands. We'll visit you together tomorrow at noon, and I'll cover for you!"
The two talked for a while longer before Wei Liangbi left.
In the Chongqing police chief's office, Chief Liu Datong was sitting opposite a middle-aged man in a sharp suit.
With his usual smile on his face, Liu Datong said in a rather sincere tone, "Boss Zhao, you're putting me, Liu, in a really difficult position. People were living there peacefully, and now you want me to send people to forcibly relocate them all? Where am I supposed to send so many people? I can't just leave them in the open!"
“I don’t care where they go! But this school building now belongs to Huiyuanheng. It’s officially approved by the Chongqing Municipal Government, so it’s perfectly legitimate. Now it’s being occupied by some unrelated people. Don’t you think your police station should cooperate with us and drive all these vagrants away?”
The speaker was Zhao Jianye, the owner of Huiyuanheng Trading Company. This was no ordinary businessman; even an ordinary businessman wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Police Chief Liu Datong.
Behind him is Wang Hongcai, the Secretary-General of the Chongqing Municipal Government, who is also the real boss of Huiyuanheng Trading Company. He is just a front man for Wang Hongcai, who also has quite a background.
Two days ago, Huiyuanheng's warehouse was bombed by Japanese planes, causing great losses. Now, they urgently need a place to store all the goods, so Zhao Jianye set his sights on a nearby property.
This property was originally a school, but due to the chaos of war and frequent bombing by the Japanese, the students had stopped attending classes and went on strike. The school was then occupied by some refugees who had fled to Chongqing, who made it their home and finally had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
However, through Wang Hongcai's manipulation, Zhao Jianye cleverly seized the land deed from the original owner and became the new owner of the school buildings.
But how could those refugees easily give up their place of shelter? Zhao Jianye sent people to drive them away, but they were all beaten out. He had no choice but to bring out Wang Hongcai again and find Police Chief Liu Datong, asking him to deploy police force to forcibly drive away these refugees.
