"You'll have to work hard again! It's a pity Ning Zhiheng isn't at headquarters, otherwise, with his ability to get things done, you wouldn't need to do these things!" the section chief said with a touch of emotion.
When major mistakes occurred at both the Hangzhou and Shanghai stations, he sent Ning Zhiheng to handle them, and Ning Zhiheng accomplished them exceptionally well. In Hangzhou, he not only assassinated Kawamoto Kuraji but also wiped out the entire Japanese underground intelligence network in the Hangzhou area. In Shanghai, he infiltrated enemy territory alone, decisively eliminating three traitors from the Military Intelligence Bureau, led by Yu Li, and also killing more than ten Japanese agents. In the end, he made a clean getaway. These achievements are sufficient to demonstrate Ning Zhiheng's operational capabilities.
Bian Ze naturally knew what the section chief was thinking, and he nodded and said, "Senior, have you ever thought that it would be better to transfer Zhiheng back to headquarters? His abilities are too outstanding, and if he stays in Shanghai, he might become too powerful to control. It would be better for him to stay at headquarters to handle some tricky matters. That would be the best arrangement!"
Upon hearing this, the section chief shook his head and said, "Now, even if I wanted him to come back, I'm afraid Huang Xianzheng wouldn't agree. Besides, Ning Zhiheng's intelligence station is full of his people. If I force him, I can't take over the command. In addition, I don't want to fight with Huang Xianzheng anymore!"
At this point, he couldn't help but give a bitter laugh: "You know, the people behind him are all backing him now, we won't get any advantage!"
At this moment, Gu Zhengqi's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Chief, I have an idea!"
"you say!"
"Huang Xianzheng's refusal to allow Ning Zhiheng to return to headquarters is simply because our offer isn't enough. Our Military Intelligence Department is about to be upgraded to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and all departments will be upgraded, with the organization and personnel also expanding. The Baoding faction will definitely want to grab a piece of this pie. Since we have to give it to them anyway, we can make some more concessions on the condition that Ning Zhiheng is transferred back to headquarters. Otherwise, in Shanghai, we'll be relying on Wang Hanmin, and we won't be able to get involved at all!"
Upon hearing this, the comrade's heart stirred. He pondered for a moment but found it difficult to make a decision. In the end, he could only wave his hand and say, "Let's discuss this matter later. You all go and carry out your respective actions. I'll go to the headquarters right away and report this intelligence to the leader, asking him to mobilize troops to cooperate with our operation!"
"Yes!" the two answered in unison, then left the chief's office.
Ning Zhiheng stayed in Shanghai for a few days until he had finished dealing with everything. He personally met with the nine new members and encouraged them gently, informing them that they had officially joined the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, resumed their status as officers of the National Revolutionary Army, and infiltrated the Shanghai Green Gang to serve the country once again!
This was something they had been longing for day and night, and the nine team members were extremely excited at the time.
The medicines that arrived in Hong Kong were immediately sold off by merchants in the concession through his own trading company, and the profits quadrupled, far exceeding Ning Zhiheng's previous estimates. This huge profit finally solved the intelligence station's tight operating funds. It is conceivable that this smuggling route will continue to generate huge amounts of wealth for the intelligence station in the future, and will become Ning Zhiheng's most important source of profit.
After Zheng Hongbo withdrew, Ning Zhiheng waited for Wang Hanmin in the French Concession for fifteen days. After all, Wang Hanmin was the new stationmaster of the Shanghai station and Ning Zhiheng's nominal superior. He had to show basic respect, and the two of them had to have a communication channel, just like with Zheng Hongbo before, so that they could contact each other in case of emergency.
However, for some reason, Wang Hanmin did not arrive in Shanghai to take up his post, making Ning Zhiheng wait for a long time. In the Jiangbei urban area, he also had a lot of work to do and many things to deal with. He could not stay in the French Concession for too long and really could not wait any longer!
Ning Zhiheng arranged the work, with Huo Yueze still in charge of the intelligence station, and Zuo Rou stationed at the Tan Mansion, contacting him by radio if needed.
Finally, Ning Zhiheng left the concession and entered Jiangbei city once again.
