After Luo Xingchao finished his explanation, Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "Very good. You have an extremely detailed understanding of the internal situation of No. 76. With this as a reference, we will be much more confident in our actions."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "From now on, you will be under my direct command until Wang Hanmin is eliminated. Everything will remain the same normally; intelligence will still be transmitted through this contact point. In case of emergency, I will contact you directly. You must gather intelligence according to my instructions. Now, I will assign you your latest mission..."
Ning Zhiheng assigned the task to Luo Xingchao according to his own plan. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up. Luo Xingchao knew that he was leaving, so he quickly stood up as well.
Ning Zhiheng walked to the door, took his coat and top hat from the coat rack, turned around and shook hands with Luo Xingchao, smiling as he said, "Complete the investigation as soon as possible and pass on the information. I look forward to seeing you again!"
Luo Xingchao nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I will finish it as soon as possible. Chief, please be careful!"
The two shook hands and parted ways. Ning Zhiheng turned and strode out the door.
That evening, a telegram was sent to Tan's residence, ordering several key officers of the Shanghai Intelligence Section to attend a meeting at Tan's residence the following morning.
Early the next morning, Ning Zhiheng, along with Zuo Gang who had been active in the city, entered the International Settlement and arrived at the Tan Mansion. The guards were pleasantly surprised to see Ning Zhiheng and quickly opened the gate.
Ning Zhiheng entered the hall, where all the intelligence officers stood at attention to welcome him.
Huo Yueze stepped forward and said, "Chief, you must be tired from your journey. You've finally returned safely. Everyone has been looking forward to your early return!"
Zuo Rou, who was standing to the side, watched Ning Zhiheng enter without saying a word, but the bright smile on her face warmed Ning Zhiheng's heart. He handed the suitcase in his hand to Zuo Rou, and then smiled and said to everyone, "This trip to Chongqing went very smoothly, so I was able to get back in time. There are many things to do, so I will give you a good introduction to the situation in a while. I also have some work to assign."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone sat down. Ning Zhiheng sat in the center, and Zuo Rou poured tea for everyone and sat down next to him to listen to his explanation.
Ning Zhiheng didn't go into much detail about the situation in Chongqing, only briefly mentioning it in a few words. Instead, he announced the current situation and concluded by saying, "Now everyone understands, right? All personnel from the original Shanghai station must be evacuated from Shanghai and sent to southern Jiangsu for resettlement."
At this point, he looked at Huo Yueze and said, "This matter should be handled as soon as possible. Now that the European war has started, the Japanese are becoming increasingly arrogant, and I don't think the concession is safe either."
Huo Yueze nodded in agreement, saying, "I will send them out in batches as soon as possible, but these people have all revealed themselves, and there are many defectors at Shanghai Station. Even if they are sent out of the concession, it will be difficult to get them through the checkpoints in the city."
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said, "It's alright, you don't need to worry about this. Just go ahead and do it."
The defectors at Shanghai Station are now all in Luo Xingchao's hands. Their threat has been controlled to the maximum extent. No matter what tricks they pull, as long as no one identifies them, ordinary people can easily slip out of Shanghai.
"Okay! I'll send it out in the next couple of days." Huo Yueze knew that Ning Zhiheng must be confident to say that, so he nodded in agreement.
Ning Zhiheng continued, "The newly formed Shanghai station will be headed by Chen Hongchi, the deputy station chief of the Beiping station, but this will take time. Currently in Shanghai, we are the only ones left fighting alone. Furthermore, headquarters has also assigned me the task of eliminating Wang Hanmin."
Currently, Zuo Gang's action team is the only one in the city, but they've finally managed to establish a foothold there. I don't want to put the entire burden on them. Therefore, I've decided to transfer some personnel from the concessions into Shanghai to form a mobile force to launch an operation against No. 76, thereby achieving our objective.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qiang couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly volunteered, saying, "I request to participate in the operation. My team members are all well-disguised, which makes the operation easier."
Ning Zhiheng had already considered this, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, it'll be your action team! Have them prepare to enter Shanghai city as soon as possible. Zuo Gang will take care of the safe house and your hideout!"
Deng Zhihong, the action team leader standing to the side, had originally wanted to volunteer to participate after hearing Ning Zhiheng's words, but he was a step behind Zuo Qiang. Now that Ning Zhiheng had nodded, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Ji Hongyi couldn't help but ask, "Chief, we are investigating Luo Zidong's whereabouts and habits in the concession. We will have the results soon. Can we also carry out the elimination of him at the same time?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Zhihong was overjoyed, as the task of eliminating them had now fallen to him. However, Ning Zhiheng said in a deep voice, "Don't act yet. The investigation must continue. But I want to deal with Wang Hanmin first, and then Luo Zidong. In short, this time, no one will escape. I want to stir up the waters of Shanghai..."
At this point, he slammed his fist on the table, making a loud bang that caused the tea to spill everywhere!
"Profiting from chaos!"
