Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed. Apart from the $110,000 he had given to the underground party, he had given all his other assets to his family in Chongqing for their safekeeping.
He had only kept a small amount of reserve funds in the safe in his house, and was practically penniless. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziliang sent him another sum of money, which was just enough to cover his deficit.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Tongfang, you've turned misfortune into a blessing this time, so I won't stand on ceremony!"
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile, "Everyone is very happy this time. Among these thirty-six spies, seven of them were local wealthy merchants and gentry with extremely rich assets. They were all confiscated, and everyone is very satisfied. It's all thanks to you."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement.
After the two talked for a while, Ning Zhiheng left and returned to his office.
Upon hearing the news, the officers of the Fourth Action Group rushed to pay their respects to Ning Zhiheng after his return.
Ning Zhiheng talked with everyone for a while, let the others go, and then kept Wang Shucheng behind. He explained the work he had been doing during this period. Huo Yueze had been transferred ten days ago, and had taken his two deputies with him. The work of the Second Action Team would be temporarily handled by the deputy captain, Shen Xiang.
This matter had been discussed with Ning Zhiheng beforehand, since both deputy captains were people Huo Yueze was familiar with. Just like when Ning Zhiheng formed the fourth action group, he also brought out Wang Shucheng and others from his senior brother Wei Liangbi.
However, this is just right, as it allows Ning Zhiheng to make room for the Zuo brothers and Ji Hongyi, so that he can better control his forces.
After everyone left the office, Ning Zhiheng finally had time to carefully count the money that Zhao Ziliang had transferred.
Liu Tongfang exchanged all the money for pounds sterling, which had the highest exchange rate, totaling a full 25,000 pounds!
In a wealthy metropolis like Hangzhou, even the entire fortune of a rich businessman wouldn't amount to this much.
After all, there are many people sharing the profits, and Ning Zhiheng was able to receive so much because of his great contributions. In addition, there was also a donation from Liu Tongfang, so it was truly a huge sum of money.
Ning Zhiheng carefully put the money away before heading to Huang Xianzheng's office. This was his true backer, and he needed to report to him regularly to gain Huang Xianzheng's trust.
Everything went as he said, and Huang Xianzheng was very satisfied with his performance this time. He repeatedly warned him not to take risks in the future. The two talked for a long time before taking their leave.
Ning Zhiheng quickly submitted the case report for the Shanghai operation, and the director approved it immediately, handling everything according to Ning Zhiheng's attached opinions.
As a result, Sun Jiacheng was promoted to captain of the second action team for his merits; Zuo Gang and Zuo Qiang were recruited into the army and promoted to second lieutenant for their merits, becoming deputy captains of the second action team; Ji Hongyi was recruited into the army and promoted to second lieutenant for his merits, becoming deputy captains of the first action team; Zuo Rou was recruited into the army and promoted to second lieutenant for her merits, joining the telecommunications department to learn telecommunications skills.
In conclusion, this trip to Shanghai was a complete success.
The next day, the Zuo siblings, dressed in crisp military uniforms, arrived at Ning Zhiheng's office. The three of them looked at each other, feeling as if they were in a dream.
After their family suffered a tragedy at a young age, the three siblings relied on each other for survival, wandering the world and enduring countless hardships. In the end, they had no choice but to seek refuge with Dai Daguang.
By chance, they joined Ning Zhiheng's team. Unexpectedly, in just six months, the three destitute assassins transformed into active-duty second lieutenants in a state-owned special agency. Who can explain the changes in one's life?
At this moment, Zuo Rou spoke up, "Young Master!"
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You can't use that title anymore. It was used before to cover up our identities and make things easier. Now you have to call me team leader, understand?"
But Zuo Rou insisted, "I'm used to it, I don't want to change!"
Seeing that she insisted on her own opinion, Ning Zhiheng also felt that the three of them, as his absolute confidants, were being too formal and indeed seemed too distant.
So he said, "From now on you are all regular military officers. After all, this is the military. In front of outsiders, you should still call me team leader. When we are alone, you can call me young master."
He then said to Zuo Rou, "Go to the telecommunications department first and learn and master the skills of sending messages as soon as possible. It will definitely come in handy when we are on a mission. After a while, I will naturally transfer you to my side."
Then, feeling that it was a bit too direct, he added, "Let you siblings stay together so you can take care of each other at any time!"
Zuo Rou was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After a few days, Ning Zhiheng had finished dealing with his own affairs when a tricky job came his way.
