Besides, we've been through thick and thin together, and we're kindred spirits. I, Ning Zhiheng, will never treat my brother unfairly. Brother Hongyi, if you don't fight now, you might not have another chance!
Ning Zhiheng was quite eloquent, using his silver tongue to explain things clearly to Ji Hongyi, and even made a grand vow, which immediately moved Ji Hongyi.
After all, the title of "national officer" was too tempting for him. If he hadn't been destitute, why would he have joined the Green Gang and ended up as nothing more than a street urchin?
Now a great opportunity is presented to him. If he just nods in agreement, he can switch allegiances and become a national military officer, and he will naturally bring glory to his ancestors and be in the limelight!
After thinking for a long time, Ji Hongyi slammed his hand on the table and said decisively, "Alright, it's settled then. Zhiheng, from now on, I'll be relying on you for food!"
Ning Zhiheng laughed heartily upon hearing this and patted Ji Hongyi on the shoulder. In fact, being able to recruit a powerful figure like Ji Hongyi from the Green Gang was not necessarily a bad thing for him.
In fact, in the later stages of the Military Intelligence Bureau, its grassroots level was filled with a large number of gang members who provided information to the bureau, worked hard, and acted as thugs.
I'm just one step ahead. Besides, Ji Hongyi is indeed a talented person. He's meticulous and quick-witted. He might even be a good helper in the future.
Since Ji Hongyi had already made up his mind to help Ning Zhiheng with all his might, he simply stopped holding back and said, "Zhiheng, over the years, I've also built up some of my own men. There aren't many, only sixteen brothers. These men are brave and daring; they've all seen blood! But they all have families on the north bank, you see…"
Ning Zhiheng laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Anyone who dares to kill a Japanese is my brother! If the assassination is successful, everyone will receive a reward of three thousand yuan, which can be considered as their resettlement allowance. After things calm down, they can all move their families to the French Concession. As I said before, this place is no longer a place to stay. It's better to make plans sooner rather than later!"
"Alright! It's settled then! You decide the specific arrangements!" Ji Hongyi said loudly!
Now that Ji Hongyi has agreed to give his full support, the manpower problem is solved. Ning Zhiheng said, "Tomorrow, your men will stay in the lobby. Once they finish eating and come out of the private room, they will work with my action team. Use daggers, not guns, otherwise we will alert the Japanese and no one will be able to escape."
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away!” Ji Hongyi replied.
Ning Zhiheng then instructed, "Once everything is arranged, you go back to the concession tomorrow morning. At noon, bring Sun Jiacheng and the action team over, and tell Sun Jiacheng to bring the Zuo siblings over as well."
"The Zuo siblings?" Ji Hongyi asked suspiciously.
“Yes, she’s one of my subordinates. As soon as you mentioned it, Sun Jiacheng knew. Tell him to have Zuo Rou bring her makeup supplies; you might need her for something!” Ning Zhiheng said again.
Ji Hongyi nodded in agreement, turned around and quickly left to complete all the preparations.
The next day at noon, in the back room of Huimin Grain Store, Ning Zhiheng looked at the Zuo siblings in front of him and nodded, asking, "Did you pass through the checkpoint smoothly?"
"Don't worry, young master. They had us disguise ourselves as laborers, and my second sister came disguised as a young lady. We didn't give ourselves away," Zuo Qiang said first.
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction. The Green Gang was powerful in Shanghai; they had brought so many people and checkpoints without leaving a trace.
"Alright, the reason I transferred you two siblings here today is to carry out an important mission: to assassinate our main target in this operation, Yu Li, the deputy head of the military intelligence station."
The Zuo siblings exchanged a glance, and Zuo Gang nodded and said, "Young Master, this isn't the first time we've committed murder, so just tell us!"
The siblings had been roaming the martial world for many years and had taken many lives, so they naturally had no aversion to this kind of thing. It was all just a matter of a word from Ning Zhiheng!
