This is a state-of-the-art Japanese intelligence radio with stable power, ample battery, and the radio waves can be clearly transmitted to the Japanese intelligence headquarters across the Huangpu River.
Wu Anhe carefully placed the radio on the table, adjusted it meticulously, and was just about to start transmitting when the door was suddenly smashed open by a powerful force. Several figures rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed. The first one was as fast as a ghost, and in a flash, he was right in front of him.
The moment the door was flung open, Wu Anhe knew what had happened. He leaned back, curled up into a ball, and rolled backward, sliding his hand along his calf to reveal a small pistol.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky. Because this operation was of great importance and was a task personally assigned by Zhang Zhengkui, Ning Zhiheng decided to take charge himself.
Ning Zhiheng's movements were incredibly fast. When Wu Anhe rolled backward, he couldn't create any distance. Ning Zhiheng lunged forward again and was right next to Wu Anhe. Then, he suddenly kicked out with his left foot, striking Wu Anhe's right arm hard.
Crack! The clear sound of a broken arm bone echoed. Wu Anhe felt as if his entire arm had been struck by a heavy hammer, and he was immediately in excruciating pain. Although he still held the pistol in his hand, his muscles were so weak that he couldn't lift his arm at all, and he didn't even have the strength to pull the trigger. Then, he was struck hard on the neck, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
By the time Zuo Gang and Shen Xiang rushed to Ning Zhiheng's side, Wu Anhe had already collapsed to the ground. The two men exchanged a helpless glance before stepping forward to restrain Wu Anhe and begin conducting a necessary body search.
Ning Zhiheng ignored Wu Anhe and turned back to the table. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed the codebook with a smile on his face.
Turning to Nian Zhe, who had just entered the room, he ordered, "Go and inform Captain Sun to arrest Bai Xiangqi immediately!"
"Yes!" Nian Zhe replied and turned to leave quickly.
When Ning Zhiheng and his group met up with Sun Jiacheng, Sun Jiacheng had already successfully arrested Bai Xiangqi.
Sun Jiacheng asked Zhang Zhiye, the company commander of the guard company, to lure Bai Xiangqi out of the room, and then personally attacked him. Bai Xiangqi had not received any professional training and offered almost no resistance. He was captured alive without any surprise.
It only alerted the other staff members living in the same room. Hearing the commotion, they all pushed open their doors and rushed out, only to see this scene before them.
"Zhiye, what's going on? Why did you arrest Xiangqi? Did the commander approve of your actions?" Chief of Staff Luo Yingzhe asked in a deep voice.
Luo Yingzhe was Zhang Zhengkui's old comrade-in-arms and partner for many years. His position was second only to Zhang Zhengkui, and Zhang Zhiye dared not be negligent in the slightest when he spoke to him.
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the arrest of Staff Officer Bai is the Commander's order!" Zhang Zhiye replied respectfully, then turned to the other operations staff officers, "The Commander will be inviting you all to an emergency military meeting shortly, so please remain calm!"
Ten minutes later, in Zhang Zhengkui's office, a radio and a codebook were placed on the desk.
Zhang Zhengkui remained expressionless and silent for a long time. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still extremely disappointed by Bai Xiangqi's betrayal.
"Commander, the evidence is conclusive. We have begun searching their residences to gather further evidence. Please give your instructions!" Ning Zhiheng said softly.
"Zhiheng, you did a great job. You found the mole so easily. You need professionals like you to do this kind of thing." Zhang Zhengkui forced a smile, but the helplessness in his voice was undisguised.
Ning Zhiheng was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Commander, Bai Xiangqi is also a veteran who has followed you for many years. Moreover, the number of people who know about this matter is not large. You can handle it internally. You can rest assured that everyone here is my trusted confidant and there will be no problem."
Ning Zhiheng's meaning was very clear: his operations staff officer was actually a Japanese spy. If this got out, it would be a disgrace. If Zhang Zhengkui wanted to suppress the matter and handle it internally, that was entirely feasible. Besides, given his position, even if he were sitting here, he wouldn't dare to say anything.
But Zhang Zhengkui stood up and paced back and forth in the room twice before finally shaking his head. After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, he said, "We should still treat them as Japanese spies. Otherwise, we would be letting down the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country because of them. The culprits should be severely punished."
He then looked at Ning Zhiheng and said, "However, let's leave this matter to the military law department to handle!"
Ultimately, he still had some reservations about the Military Intelligence Investigation Service.
Ning Zhiheng nodded to himself. Zhang Zhengkui may have some of the habits and styles of old warlords, but he is very self-disciplined and does not deceive in secret.
"The student has a request!" Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment before speaking again.
“Speak! Anything I can do for you, I will!” Zhang Zhengkui nodded without hesitation.
“Now that Bai Xiangqi and Wu Anhe have been captured and confirmed to be spies, there’s no need to leave too much physical evidence. We can leave the radio, but could you give this codebook to the student to take away?” Ning Zhiheng requested. This was a newly encrypted codebook from the Japanese, which was of great significance for deciphering Japanese military codes.
"This codebook?" Zhang Zhengkui was slightly taken aback. He casually waved his hand. "You seized it, so take it!"
Zhang Zhengkui naturally didn't know that this codebook was insignificant to ordinary people, but it was a priceless treasure to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, enough to allow Ning Zhiheng to make another great contribution. In this way, coupled with Zhang Zhengkui's personal request for commendation on his behalf, the military and the department head would no longer remain indifferent to him, and there would be absolutely no problem with his promotion to lieutenant colonel.
