Zuo Gang nodded in agreement. He knew that there must be someone of his own inside the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, otherwise all these actions would be in vain. The Chief would naturally take these things into consideration.
"What you need to do now is to conduct a thorough investigation of Fan Zhongfu's body immediately, to see if he has any diseases that we can use to design a suitable diagnosis, such as heart problems, symptoms of myocardial infarction, or a history of epilepsy, or even food allergies, etc. The investigation must be completed today, and the results must be submitted to me before 10 p.m. tonight. Then I will make arrangements based on the actual situation!"
Ning Zhiheng is meticulous. When designing action plans, he carefully considers every detail, goes through all the actions in his mind, and scrutinizes every detail to minimize or eliminate any mistakes, so that every step of the action can proceed according to his design.
Several years ago, when Ning Zhiheng assassinated veteran agent Kawamoto Kuraji in Hangzhou, he used various means to find out about Kawamoto's health condition. He even went so far as to smash a priceless white porcelain vase. He finally discovered that Kawamoto Kuraji suffered from a serious heart condition. He then used potassium chloride injection to successfully assassinate Kawamoto Kuraji. To this day, the Japanese do not know the real cause of Kawamoto Kuraji's death and still believe that he died from a heart attack.
Zuo Gang immediately nodded in agreement. After considering it carefully, he said, "Does Fan Zhongfu have any family members? If so, his family members know his health condition best. We can make contact with them and get some information from them."
"Absolutely not! You can't contact Fan Zhongfu's family!" Ning Zhiheng categorically rejected Zuo Gang's suggestion.
“Fan Zhongfu’s identity has now been questioned by the 76th, and he will be subjected to severe interrogation in three days. If I were a member of the 76th, I would definitely arrange to monitor Fan Zhongfu’s family and see if anyone has contacted them since Fan Zhongfu’s arrest. If you show up, it will alert them, and not only will the rescue operation be forced to stop, but you yourselves will also be in danger of being exposed.”
Zuo Gang felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that the comrade was right; he hadn't taken the current situation seriously enough and almost made such a basic mistake.
Ning Zhiheng's gaze was sharp as a blade as he stared intently at Zuo Gang, his tone extremely stern as he said, "Have you been too lax lately? Have you been acting without thinking? If you're not in good shape, don't accept this mission, lest you harm yourself and others. Our intelligence work behind enemy lines is like dancing on a tightrope between cliffs; one wrong step and it's all over. As the action team leader, every move you make is related to the life and death of your soldiers. You cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest!"
Ning Zhiheng's reprimand was extremely harsh. He realized that due to the long period of smooth sailing and repeated victories in operations against the enemy, his subordinates had developed arrogance and complacency to varying degrees. Even an experienced and steady veteran like Zuo Gang had become somewhat lax, which forced Ning Zhiheng to take it seriously.
Zuo Gang was so frightened by Ning Zhiheng's reprimand that he dared not say another word. He quickly stood up, bowed his head, and listened obediently to every word Ning Zhiheng said. A chill ran down his spine, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Ning Zhiheng stared at Zuo Gang for a long time before slowly relaxing his gaze. He then said, "It seems that you've gotten used to winning battles and no longer take the Japanese seriously. Don't forget, we can't back out now. One mistake can lead to total defeat!"
As he said this, he slammed his middle finger on the table, making a loud thumping sound.
This made Zuo Gang's heart tighten again, and he quickly replied, "It was all my carelessness and complacency that fostered arrogance. Please rest assured, Director, from today onwards, I will definitely guard against arrogance and impetuosity, think things through more carefully, and never dare to be negligent in the slightest again!"
