Ning Zhiheng was also worried about such a situation before, so many materials were backlogged in Yangon port, and if transportation was not arranged in time, he would be caught off guard at that time, and the loss would be incalculable.

Of course, the bureau understood the seriousness of the situation, and immediately instructed Bian Ze: "I remember that a few days ago, we just applied to the Burmese government for a thousand military vehicle licenses, and now that the situation has changed, you immediately send an urgent telegram to the Myanmar Action Group, asking them to quickly change to civilian license plates. ”

"Yes!" Bian Ze nodded and led the way, and then the bureau seat stood up, picked up the telegram in his hand, and walked to the door, "I'll go to the headquarters to report this situation immediately." ”

Wei Liangbi hurriedly took off his military hat for the bureau seat on the hanger on the side, handed it to the bureau seat with both hands, and said respectfully: "I still have something to tell you." ”

"Then say on the way, come with me!" The bureau seat waved his hand, Wei Liangbi followed, and the two of them went out of the gate one after the other.

At the same time, in the Tan Mansion in Shanghai, Ning Zhiheng was dancing his fists and feet in the courtyard, and he was beaten down with Xingyi boxing, stretching his muscles and bones, and feeling refreshed.

When he was in the city, he was surrounded by Japanese bodyguards, so naturally he couldn't do what he wanted, and it had been a long time since he had such a happy performance.

At this time, Ji Hongyi walked in quickly from outside the gate, looked at Ning Zhiheng from a distance, didn't dare to disturb for a while, and waited quietly on the side, until Ning Zhiheng gathered his strength, and then took a step forward.

Ning Zhiheng was the first to speak: "What, you haven't dared to see me for the past two days?" ”

Ji Hongyi's face was embarrassed, he hurriedly shook his head, and quickly explained: "That's not the case, my whereabouts are not secret, I have made a major mistake, and I almost threaten the safety of the organization, I am willing to accept all punishments, and I will never dare to shirk the slightest bit." ”

Ning Zhiheng snorted, his face was still gloomy, and Ji Hongyi was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.

Ning Zhiheng took the hot towel handed over by Zuo Rou, wiped his face and hands, and then said lightly: "This time, Yue Ze has made it clear to you?" ”

"It's clear, the section chief severely reprimanded me, because I was careless and neglected to take precautions, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, please take a seat and punish me."

Ning Zhiheng has always been strict with his subordinates, and he has accumulated power in front of his subordinates for a long time, so this time Ji Hongyi knew that he had made a big mistake and was almost exposed, and he had not dared to walk in front of Ning Zhiheng for the past two days.

Ning Zhiheng handed the handkerchief back to Zuo Rou, and said indifferently to Ji Hongyi: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will avoid me, you can't run away from this punishment, I will remember it for you, say, what have you been doing these days?" ”

Hearing Ning Zhiheng say this, Ji Hongyi couldn't help but feel relieved, he knew Ning Zhiheng's temperament, as long as he didn't attack on the spot, he would behave carefully and make no mistakes after that, and things would naturally pass peacefully.

Ning Zhiheng came to the porch, removed the mahogany chair and sat down, and motioned for Ji Hongyi to sit opposite.

Ji Hongyi continued to talk and reported in a low voice: "I was about to report to you that the day before yesterday, that is, the same day that we did something to Zha Yutang, Wei Hongde, the director of the Public Concession Ministry of Industry, was kidnapped, but it was in broad daylight, and I was investigating this matter in the past two days. ”

Ning Zhiheng frowned when he heard this, and asked with some uncertainty: "Wei Hongde, that real estate tycoon?" ”

Ji Hongyi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's this person!" ”

Ning Zhiheng looked puzzled and asked, "He was kidnapped and involved with you?" Do you need to come forward? ”

Wei Hongde in the mouth of the two is not an ordinary person, it can be said that this person has considerable influence in the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession.

He is the chairman of Shanghai Hengtong Real Estate Company, it is rumored that in the area of Xujiahui, two-thirds of the land is owned by his company, by the economic explosion of the concession in recent years, the value of the land in his hands has doubled several times, and he has made a lot of money, not only that, he also has more than a dozen department stores, all over the French Concession and the Public Concession, but also concurrently engaged in the antique industry, the net worth is extremely rich, and this person is clever, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and the British Consulate Consul has a deep friendship, and served as the director of the Public Concession Ministry of Industry.

With such financial resources and status, Wei Hongde is naturally a well-known leader in Shanghai Tang, he eats and turns, especially when he is rich and oily, such a heavyweight was kidnapped in broad daylight, and coincidentally, it was on the same day that Ning Zhiheng attacked Zha Yutang.

After Ji Hongyi's further narration, Ning Zhiheng had a general understanding of the process.

It turned out that at noon the day before yesterday, Wei Hongde and his wife went to the banquet and returned, and at the intersection of Aidoya Road, they were intercepted by a group of vicious kidnappers at gunpoint, and the kidnappers drove the driver, bodyguards, and Wei Hongde's wife out of the car, and then escorted Wei Hongde to hijack the car.

The whole operation was done neatly, the Wei family didn't react at all, Wei Hongde was easily robbed, and the kidnapper finally said: "Go back and wait for the phone call, prepare the ransom, if you dare to report to the official, tear up the ticket immediately!" ”

There are many rich tycoons in Shanghai, and it is not new to be kidnapped and blackmailed, that is, Wei Hongde himself was kidnapped in his early years, and later paid a ransom to get out.

So after the incident, Mrs. Wei didn't go to the police, because she knew that these people in the patrol room didn't play much of a role, and once the movement was big and provoked the other party to tear up the ticket, it would be all over, and besides, the Wei family had money, so as long as it could be settled with money, it would not be a problem.

The Wei family has not dared to make a noise, and when Mrs. Wei returned home, she received a call from the kidnapper, and the other party opened his mouth widely, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 300,000 US dollars, and he also deliberately pointed out that as long as the US dollar, no other currency.

300,000 US dollars, even if Wei Hongde is extremely rich and has a lot of money, this is an astonishing amount of money, which is enough to make the Wei family break their bones.

And the problem is, the Wei family is willing to pay the 300,000 US dollars, but now that Shanghai's financial market is turbulent, and the major banks are short of foreign exchange, it is very difficult to exchange and raise so many US dollars in a short period of time.

The Wei family spent a lot of effort to raise more than 100,000 US dollars, and the rest could only be delivered in yen or fiat currency, but the other party resolutely disagreed, and threatened to entangle again, so he used excuses to shirk it, so he chopped off Wei Hongde's palm and sent it back.

This time it was difficult for the Wei family, they didn't dare to go around to raise funds, and in the end, Mrs. Wei personally came to the door and found Gu Xuan, the leader of the Jiangbei Gang.

It turned out that Wei Hongde and Gu Xuan had some friendship, when Wei Hongde was kidnapped many years ago, the Wei family paid the ransom, but they didn't see the kidnappers release them for a long time, they were afraid that the other party would tear up the ticket, so they hurriedly begged Gu Xuan to come forward, so Gu Xuan shouted around the rivers and lakes, claiming that if the other party did not release him, the Northern Jiangsu Gang would definitely investigate to the end and never die.

At that time, the power of the Qing Gang in Shanghai was unparalleled, and the Northern Jiangsu Gang was also in the limelight, Gu Xuan, as the big leader of the old generation, naturally had a lot of weight in what he said.

As a result, the next day, Wei Hongde was released completely, which shows that these kidnappers were also afraid of being investigated by the Qing Gang, so they didn't dare to hurt Wei Hongde in the end, and let him go.

This time, Mrs. Wei couldn't solve this thorny problem, so she came to the door again and asked Gu Xuan to come forward to see if she could talk to the kidnappers, be accommodating, settle the ransom with other currencies instead of dollars, and ensure that the other party would not break her promise and could release Wei Hongde earlier.

But now it is different from the past, the current Northern Jiangsu Gang has long been gone, lost the territory north of Suzhou Creek, and many of its disciples have dispersed, and the rest are following Gu Xuan to barely maintain in the Mailan District of the French Concession.

And according to the details of Wei Hongde's robbery this time, Gu Xuan quickly judged that the kidnapping of Wei Hongde was not an ordinary person, he had such a weapon in Shanghai, and most of the people who dared to kidnap Wei Hongde so blatantly were disciples of the Qing Gang, and other forces, even if they crossed the river, would not find a figure like Wei Hongde, but with the current situation of the Northern Jiangsu Gang, the powerful Tangkou was afraid that he would not buy it at all, so seeing Mrs. Wei coming to the door really made Gu Xuan embarrassed.

After some narration, Mrs. Wei also knew the situation of the Northern Jiangsu Gang, but Gu Xuan was a man who paid attention to affection, since he knew that Wei Hongde was in trouble, he couldn't stand by and watch this matter, he finally promised to exchange the remaining dollars for Mrs. Wei, and then secretly find the whereabouts of the kidnappers to ensure that Wei Hongde returned home safely.

Then this matter quickly fell on Ji Hongyi, for no other reason, because at this time, the only one in the Northern Jiangsu Gang who could afford to stand up to the façade, and the only one who could solve this matter was Ji Hongyi, the little boss.

Over the years, although the Northern Jiangsu Gang has been declining day by day, Gu Xuan's disciple Ji Hongyi has sprung up, which surprised everyone.

Since Ji Hongyi returned to Shanghai to lurk, the identity has undergone a huge change, at the beginning of the lurk, in order to solve the problem of funds and latent identity, the intelligence department borrowed huge financial resources and background, set up a lot of industrial companies and various enterprises, and then due to the rapid development of the concession economy, the strength has expanded rapidly in recent years.

In addition to the members of the action team, as well as the members who disguised their special identities, almost all of the other members of the intelligence group have their own enterprises and companies, all over the concession society, among which Ji Hongyi is the leader of the local youth gang, his identity is the safest, and he can withstand the most inspection, so he has the most physical industries under his name, and a total of six companies have been established one after another, involved in the wine industry and department stores, and now he is also a powerful figure in the business world.

Although Ji Hongyi is not Gu Xuan's disciple, but with money, he naturally has the corresponding strength, and more and more gangsters are slowly taking refuge in Ji Hongyi's hands, and now he has become the most influential figure in the Northern Jiangsu Gang except for Gu Xuan.

Therefore, Gu Xuan naturally handed over the matter to Ji Hongyi to deal with, and asked him to try to exchange enough dollars for Mrs. Wei as a ransom.

On the other hand, Gu Xuan also knew that Ji Hongyi's subordinates had enough strength and connections, if anyone under his command could find these kidnappers, it would be Ji Hongyi.

Not to mention these strengths on the surface, Gu Xuan even knew that Ji Hongyi's identity was by no means ordinary.

At the beginning, he arranged for this disciple to work for the military commander and eliminate the traitor Yu Li of the military commander, but after the successful completion of the hoeing and rape task, he simply followed the action team leader Ning Zhiheng to Nanjing, joined the military command, and became an intelligence officer.

Later, after the Battle of Songhu, this disciple suddenly appeared in front of him again, saying that the team was scattered, and he was afraid that the guns and cannons on the battlefield would have no eyes, so he didn't want to mix in the army anymore and came back to join the master, but Gu Xuan knew Ji Hongyi's personality very well in his heart, so he didn't believe it at all, but he still took Ji Hongyi back in.

And Ji Hongyi's performance in the past few years, he has seen it in his eyes, and he has guessed in his heart that his disciple is only afraid that he is a Chongqing element who has been rumored in the concession for a long time and has made the traitors change their voice, and Gu Xuan himself is a patriotic nationalist, who hates the Japanese and traitors, and he also approves of his disciple's work for the Chongqing government.

Ji Hongyi received this task from his master, and naturally he couldn't shirk it, so he set out to investigate, trying to find out the traces of the kidnappers, and actively raised dollars from the company's account under his name, but there are not many dollars in circulation in the market now, and the number of shortfalls needed this time is too large, so he had to come to the Tan Mansion for help, he knew that the intelligence department's funding channels were accessible, and there had always been enough dollar reserves, and these dollars were still not a problem.

Moreover, the financial system of the intelligence department is strict, and the industry under the name of each intelligence officer is under the name of the intelligence officer, which is actually the industry of the intelligence department, and the transfer of every fund is recorded, and finally handed over to Zuo Rou for verification, so to call so many dollars, Zuo Rou still needs to nod, and Ji Hongyi must ask for instructions in advance.

After listening to Ji Hongyi's narration, Ning Zhiheng was silent for a long time, thinking quickly in his heart, to be honest, he was indeed a little moved, although the intelligence department has worked hard over the years and has strong financial resources, but the huge sum of 300,000 US dollars still makes Ning Zhiheng think about other things.

You must know that he did his best to take risks to operate smuggled materials, and the share of the supply to the two bureaus every year was only 300,000 US dollars, and the donation he gave to the Fujiwara family was only 500,000 US dollars, and even bought Chiemi Tanigawa in Chongqing, so as to crack the entire intelligence network lurking in Chongqing, and only spent 200,000 US dollars, 300,000 US dollars, which is an astronomical amount in this era.

Moreover, most of the wealth that Ning Zhiheng has earned in the past few years has been invested in the intelligence market, as well as subsidized materials to the front line, and the funds in his hands are not abundant.

Seeing that Ning Zhiheng didn't speak for a long time, Ji Hongyi asked with some uncertainty: "Seat, is it a subordinate Meng Lang, who shouldn't take over this matter, but this is the master's explanation, I ...... it."

"No, you're doing a good job, it's still profitable, but we can't help in vain."

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Ji Hongyi knew his boss's plan.

"What a big appetite for kidnappers!" Ning Zhiheng smiled, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "No one has a windfall and is not rich, 300,000 US dollars!" It's worth the effort! ”
