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

Chapter 117 Zheng Yaoxian's Wisdom

Zheng Yaoxian was almost in despair because he saw a look of eager anticipation on Ye Shaohong's face.

"Have you made a decision yet?"

Although Ye Shaohong was performing, he did not forget to observe Zheng Yaoxian's changes in expression, and at the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart, "He is indeed a strategic-level agent of our party."

This composure and acting skills are unmatched by him.

But so what?

Ye Shaohong just wanted to tease him.

So, under Zheng Yaoxian's watchful gaze, Ye Shaohong merely opened the folder, glanced at it briefly, and then put the file bag down. "The returns are good, but the challenge is too low."

"Relatively speaking, I'm more looking forward to the case of the mysterious person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong picked up the middle folder without hesitation and flicked it lightly with his finger.

"Section Chief, I've made up my mind."

"that's it!"

In that brief moment, Ye Shaohong's decision, while not a major upheaval for Zheng Yaoxian, still made his heart race a little.

Hearing Ye Shaohong's words, he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he managed to control himself.

A smile returned to Zheng Yaoxian's face. He raised his arm and took a long drag of his cigarette.

Just as the smoke began to rise, a soft voice rang out. "It's up to you to decide."

"I'll let Xiao'an and Jianzhi know to come over later. Would you like to meet them?"

As he responded, Zheng Yaoxian stubbed out his cigarette and made a move toward the desk, seemingly intending to contact Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi in front of Ye Shaohong.

"forget it!"

"It's nothing serious, you can handle it, Section Chief. I still need to interrogate Liu Fei to get the clues and confessions from this mysterious person case, so I won't take up any more of your time, Section Chief."

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Ye Shaohong stood up and waved to Zheng Yaoxian as he walked toward the door.

As the door opened and closed, Zheng Yaoxian suddenly raised his head.

At this moment, the smile on his face had vanished. He took a few steps to the door, opened it, and looked outside. Ye Shaohong's figure was disappearing into the distance.

Zheng Yaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then closed the door and locked it from the inside before hurriedly turning around and going to his desk to open the folder left by Ye Shaohong.

"Judging from the many details in the document, this intelligence should be genuine."

"What an unexpected surprise!"

"It seems that bringing Ye Shaohong into the Special Service was indeed a wise choice."

After a quick look, Zheng Yaoxian immediately opened a drawer, took out the paper and pen he had prepared, and carefully wrote down the entire operation plan.

After comparing and confirming that there were no omissions, Zheng Yaoxian tore off the paper.

He carefully rolled it up, then took off the fountain pen he always carried with him, opened the ink cartridge cover, and put it inside.

Even after doing all this, Zheng Yaoxian did not let his guard down.

He picked up the paper he had just finished writing on and examined it carefully. In total, he tore off three more sheets of paper from the book.

He put the paper, stained with writing and engraving marks, into his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing, Zheng Yaoxian got up, unlocked the door, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi.

He summoned Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi to his office.

He recounted what had just happened, and then pushed the two folders in his hand in front of Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi.

"You two should divide it up."

"Don't forget, after the case is solved, record Shao Hong's contributions and the benefits he should receive in the case report."

At this moment, Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi were so overwhelmed by the sudden happiness that they were almost fainting.

Both of them were smiling.

They exchanged a glance, but without even opening the folder, they simply picked up the folder in front of them.

"What's the point of assigning anything? This is thanks to Brother Shao Hong for his contribution, and it's also because you, Section Chief, have been kind to us. We just picked whatever we wanted."

"Don't worry, Section Chief. We know all the necessary procedures and we won't forget Brother Shao Hong's kindness."

Song Xiaoan, who is all talk and no action, is the best at dealing with people. His words are always the most appropriate, covering every aspect without any omissions.

As for Zhao Jianzhi, his situation was much simpler.

Seeing that Song Xiaoan had already picked up the folder in front of him, Zhao Jianzhi followed suit, picking up the folder in front of him and examining the documents right in front of Zheng Yaoxian.

"This case is simple; I should be able to find out."

"Brother Shao Hong really understands me."

"After the case was closed, I treated him to drinks."

"By the way, you guys should also be there, Section Chief. I know you like Shaoxing Bai liquor, so I'll find someone to get you a couple of aged bottles so you can leave satisfied."

Zhao Jianzhi, this simpleton, may not have the same eloquence as Song Xiaoan, but he's honest and straightforward.

This immediately made Zheng Yaoxian and Song Xiaoan burst out laughing.

"That's a good feeling."

"We've been waiting for this wine from you. Don't bother arranging it outside. Your sister-in-law's cooking is excellent, especially her braised pork, which is very authentic. I've been craving it for a long time."

"Let's arrange this dinner at your place," Zheng Yaoxian said, gesturing to Zhao Jianzhi and readily agreeing.

"Nothing to say."

"Since the section chief has spoken, I'll definitely have my wife unleash all her hidden talents, and we'll drink and eat heartily!"

Zhao Jianzhi patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"Ha ha!"

"Alright, alright, let's drink and eat heartily!"

Zheng Yaoxian was genuinely happy, not only because Zhao Jianzhi's words made him feel comfortable, but also for another, deeper reason.

That is, when Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi were selecting cases, they also followed the choices he had arranged in advance.

The case of the leaked military officer information was chosen by Zhao Jianzhi, which is why this simpleton blurted out that he could also investigate and uncover that case. The case of the leaked information regarding the operation to suppress the Red Party, however, was assigned to Song Xiaoan.

Zheng Yaoxian had given this decision a lot of thought.

That's right.

Comparatively speaking, Song Xiaoan is smarter and more difficult to deal with than Zhao Jianzhi. If the case of the leak of the operation to suppress the Red Party is handed over to Song Xiaoan, he will solve the case sooner than Zhao Jianzhi.

We must expose those corrupt officials who are deeply hidden within the General Staff of the National Government's Military Commission.

What seemed like an unfavorable situation was, in Zheng Yaoxian's eyes, the best option.

This is where Zheng Yaoxian's intelligence shines through.

He made this decision for two reasons.

First, Ye Shaohong also knew about the leak of military officer information and the leak of information about the operation to suppress the Red Party. If he handed over the more difficult case of the leak of information about the operation to suppress the Red Party to Zhao Jianzhi, who was obviously a bit simple-minded, it would inevitably arouse Ye Shaohong's suspicion and might even lead to a secret investigation into his identity. Therefore, Zheng Yaoxian could not do that.

Secondly, Song Xiaoan is indeed clever. Entrusting him with the case of the leak of information about the operation to suppress the Red Party would have led to its earlier resolution. However, his cleverness also has its weaknesses. Precisely because Song Xiaoan is clever, he will not act rashly like Zhao Jianzhi after obtaining clues. Instead, he will carefully investigate the case without alerting anyone.

In this way, until Zheng Yaoxian handed over the intelligence he had, neither the Military Commission's General Staff nor the personnel within the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics would know about it.

As long as they can capitalize on this time difference, even if Song Xiaoan eventually solves the case, it will be too late. The frontline action plan has already been finalized, and all units have arrived at their designated locations. They will have no chance to change the plan.

At this time, our Party's targeted arrangements and deployments can achieve the greatest effect.

At the same time, Zheng Yaoxian better concealed himself, which to some extent dispelled Dai Yunong's suspicions and doubts about him. This was a brilliant arrangement that killed two birds with one stone.
