Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 1033 Dirty Work

After sending the telegram, Ye Shaohong began to handle official business.

Approving approvals and preparing budgets.

He didn't need to personally handle the preliminary work for these matters.

However, as the head of the department, and also the Seventh Brother of the Military Intelligence Bureau who held absolute power, he still had to take a look at the final approval and signing process.

If there are no problems, these official documents will be taken to other departments of the Military Intelligence Bureau for processing after Ye Shaohong signs them.

A bunch of trivial matters kept Ye Shaohong busy for more than two hours.

By the time he finished reading the last document and signed his name, it was nearly noon. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ye Shaohong wanted to invite Zheng Yaoxian to go out together and find a tavern or restaurant for a quick bite.

At the same time, we also exchanged information on official business and coordinated news from various departments within and outside the Special Service Division over the past day or two.

This is also the tacit understanding between him and Zheng Yaoxian.

Don't think these things are useless.

Sometimes, it is these seemingly trivial matters of daily life that can play a significant role.

For example, knowing someone's private information can be used to get them to help you with certain things at crucial moments.

Knowing people's preferences allows you to make appropriate arrangements when giving gifts.

For Zheng Yaoxian, this was even more important.

These seemingly trivial details help Zheng Yaoxian to create a mental template of a person's personality traits, habits, and behavior, making his undercover work easier and more convenient.

After lunch, nothing unexpected happened, and the two brothers returned to the secret service headquarters, satisfied.

As soon as they returned, they realized something was wrong.

The atmosphere inside the bureau looked very tense.

After Ye Shaohong noticed this, he didn't care about anything else. He casually stopped someone on the road and started asking them questions.

Only after asking did I realize that something had indeed happened.

Dai Yunong was hit again by the bald-headed chairman with a cane, one of which struck Dai Yunong in the face.

Dai Yunong came to work despite his injury at noon today.

His face was so black, it was almost like the bottom of a pot.

As for the specific reason why Dai Yunong was beaten, Ye Shaohong, who had casually grabbed the headquarters clerk, didn't know.

Or rather, even if she knew, this junior clerk wouldn't dare to say it. Ye Shaohong didn't press her too much.

Ye Shaohong casually took out five US dollars from his wallet, handed them over, and sent the man away.

Only then did he turn around and look at Zheng Yaoxian.

"Brother Six!"

"You're well-informed, do you know if the Director...?"

"Don't ask me, even if you ask me, I don't know."

Zheng Yaoxian rolled his eyes and responded decisively.

"Hey!"

“You still act like this in front of me…”

"alright."

"Sixth Brother, what do you think? Should we go over and join in the fun?"

"Hmm... what I mean is, let's go and offer our condolences to the Director." Ye Shaohong wasn't a good person either. He wanted to go and watch the excitement, but he was worried that if he went alone, Dai Yunong would yell at him.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong wanted to bring Zheng Yaoxian along.

The reason is also very simple.

Just find some official excuse to get by.

Zheng Yaoxian is no fool.

He wouldn't fool around with Ye Shaohong at a time like this and risk offending Dai Yunong.

"You go if you want to go, I won't go!"

"Oh right, I just remembered, I'm going to meet an intelligence agent outside today, so I won't be going back with you."

Goodbye!

As he was speaking, Zheng Yaoxian tightened his coat and turned to walk out of the office building without hesitation.

Ye Shaohong stood there, watching Zheng Yaoxian's figure disappear in an instant, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go! Why are you running away?"

"have to!"

"If you won't go, I'll go find Fourth Brother!"

Ye Shaohong was very curious; such things were rare, and he had to find out.

Thus, after returning to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters in Luojiawan, Ye Shaohong did not go back to his office, nor did he have any intention of continuing to work.

He was so cheeky that he went straight to Xu Baichuan's room.

As luck would have it, Xu Baichuan was standing in front of his desk, answering a phone call, when Ye Shaohong entered the room.

Judging from his respectful and nervous expression, Ye Shaohong knew without guessing that the person who called was most likely Dai Yunong.

"Could it be related to what just happened?" With suspicion in his mind, Ye Shaohong was even less likely to leave. He lowered his footsteps and slowly walked towards Xu Baichuan's desk.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong enter and put on this same act, Xu Baichuan immediately raised his eyebrows.

He was on the phone at the moment, so of course he couldn't scold Ye Shaohong.

Xu Baichuan could only use his other hand to wave a warning to Ye Shaohong, telling him to go to the side and not to come over to eavesdrop or join in the fun.

Ye Shaohong wasn't afraid at all.

He's the youngest brother, but Xu Baichuan has the demeanor of an older brother.

Do you think I should cause him trouble afterward over something so trivial?

Therefore, Ye Shaohong didn't care at all and went straight to Xu Baichuan's desk and sat down.

Seeing that his warnings were ineffective, Xu Baichuan glared fiercely at Ye Shaohong, but made no further move. He simply turned around and held the microphone further away. "Okay, okay."

"Don't worry, Director. Leave this to our operations department. We'll definitely complete the mission."

"Yes, three days. I'll give you an explanation within three days!"

At the last moment, Xu Baichuan let out a muffled roar and responded to Dai Yunong on the phone before putting down the phone.

The moment he hung up the phone, Xu Baichuan raised his hand to slap Ye Shaohong on the head.

However, Ye Shaohong had anticipated this and dodged it.

"Fourth brother!"

"You really want to hit me?"

"Tell me, what task has that scoundrel Dai Yunong assigned to you this time?"

"Judging from how nervous you are, it probably isn't anything good."

Having dodged Xu Baichuan's attack, Ye Shaohong chuckled and hurriedly asked a question.

"You really want to know?"

Xu Baichuan's first attack failed, but he didn't continue. Instead, he looked at Ye Shaohong meaningfully and asked a question.

"Ok?"

"No, I understand, you'd better not open your mouth."

"You should handle this trouble yourself; I don't want to get involved."

Xu Baichuan's simple sentence immediately made Ye Shaohong tense up. He immediately sensed that something must have happened.

And it's not a good thing either.

It's highly likely that someone else will be unlucky enough to die.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Baichuan has gotten a dirty job; he's going to kill someone for Dai Yunong.

Moreover, the people killed weren't exactly bad people. They were either the bald-headed chairman's political enemies or those scholars who wielded pens and idly commented on others in the newspapers.

These are things that Ye Shaohong can neither manage nor help with.

The only thing he could do was leave as soon as possible, lest Xu Baichuan open his mouth and drag him into the mire.

That would be really terrible!
