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

Chapter 118 The Mysterious Man's Identity

Ye Shaohong was unaware of how Zheng Yaoxian had arranged the layout.

He wasn't worried either.

In Ye Shaohong's view, he had already done what he was supposed to do, and Zheng Yaoxian would definitely be able to handle the remaining finishing touches.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be called "Devil Six".

After leaving Zheng Yaoxian's office, Ye Shaohong went to the interrogation room to re-interrogate Liu Fei.

The two interrogations lasted less than an hour in total.

When Liu Fei was brought back into the interrogation room, his face still bore traces of tears. Upon seeing Ye Shaohong, he immediately knelt down. "Team Leader Ye, please, please spare me."

"I've confessed to everyone I was supposed to!"

Looking at Liu Fei kneeling on the ground, wailing and begging for mercy, Ye Shaohong gave a cold groan.

He had no intention of explaining to Liu Fei.

It's not necessary either.

He waved his hand, and Zhuang Yifan immediately pulled Liu Fei up from the ground. Ignoring Liu Fei's howls and pleas for mercy, he rudely and violently shoved him back onto the torture rack.

The two field agents on one side were also busy and went over to help tie Liu Fei up.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Ye Shaohong had already circled behind the interrogation table and slammed the folder he was holding onto it.

"Tell me, who is this Zhang Hongtao? Why did you put his name and photo in a separate folder? And even put it in a sealed box!" Liu Fei had been in a panic since he entered the room, so he hadn't noticed the file bag in Ye Shaohong's hand. Now, hearing Ye Shaohong's question, he finally calmed down a little.

Looking at the file folder that Ye Shaohong had tossed onto the table, Liu Fei's lips twitched slightly, as if he was still reluctant to speak.

"Ok?"

Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow.

"Damn it, you still want to hide it?"

Ye Shaohong merely let out a cold snort, and Zhuang Yifan immediately took action. He stepped forward and slapped Liu Fei hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

After a sharp crack, Liu Fei twisted his neck, and when he turned his head back, one side of his cheek was slowly swelling up.

Crimson blood began to slowly trickle down the corner of his mouth. "Stop...stop hitting me, I'll confess!"

"Team Leader Ye, this man's name is indeed Zhang Hongtao, but I suspect he has another hidden identity!"

Perhaps Zhuang Yifan's slap was too forceful, because when Liu Fei opened his mouth again, his tone changed slightly, sounding muffled.

"Another hidden identity? Interesting!"

"Take your time and tell us. If you tell us the truth, we will not only not beat you, but we will also treat you to good food and drink."

Ye Shaohong hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

What an unexpected surprise.

It was rare for him to smile again. As he sat down, he gently comforted Liu Fei with a few words.

"Here's what happened..."

This is an old story, but it's not that long ago.

The story begins more than three months ago.

At that time, Liu Fei had just finished a meeting at the Jinling Police Station and was on his way back to the Nancheng Police Station when he unexpectedly witnessed a car accident.

A Ford sedan crashed into a rickshaw.

Such things are not common in Jinling City.

Because most of the rickshaw pullers were poor, even though they were working hard to earn money and pulling their rickshaws very fast, they also knew very well that they could not stop people driving cars.

If he blocks someone's way, that's one thing; at most he'll get a beating or a scolding. But if he scratches or bumps into someone's car, half a year's hard-earned money won't be enough to compensate them.

In this situation, rickshaws in Nanjing would deliberately slow down and give way to cars when they saw them.

But that day was very strange. Perhaps the rickshaw driver was new to the trade, or perhaps the passengers were rushing him too much. He pulled his rickshaw and crashed directly into a Ford sedan coming from the front.

This terrified the rickshaw driver, and his passenger secretly ran away.

In this situation, the owner of the Ford sedan should get out of the car. Whether he wants to demand compensation or is simply being magnanimous, he should at least check on the extent of the accident.

But the people inside the Ford sedan didn't get out.

He made a slight U-turn in the car, and amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, he drove off.

Liu Fei also climbed his way up from the bottom as a police officer.

Although his path to promotion was filled with sycophancy, flattery, opportunism, bribery and corruption...

However, it cannot be denied that more than a decade of police work had given Liu Fei a keen sense of smell, and he immediately noticed the unusual behavior of the Ford's owner. He immediately instructed his driver to give chase.

Liu Fei also wanted to see what was going on with this person, and why he didn't get out of the car even after being hit.

Could it be that he encountered some urgent matter?

Is there a sick person or a pregnant woman in the car?

And so, while Liu Fei was pondering this in his heart, the car he was in had already chased after the Ford sedan for several blocks.

The result, however, greatly surprised Liu Fei.

He knew the surroundings of the road ahead; there were no more hospitals, and the man showed no sign of stopping the car.

Liu Fei finally realized that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to tell the driver to stop and turn around immediately, the Ford sedan in front seemed to have also discovered that he was being followed. Someone actually opened the passenger door, pointed a gun at the vehicle Liu Fei was in, and fired several shots in succession.

Fortunately, the gunman's marksmanship wasn't very good. Although several shots hit Liu Fei's car, they didn't injure the driver or Liu Fei.

Liu Fei and his group's car came to a stop.

He could only secretly complain about his bad luck, that he shouldn't have been so curious and attracted this unnecessary trouble.

Now look what's happened; the pursuing vehicle has escaped, and he's still quite frightened.

Logically, this matter should have been over, but a few days later, when Liu Fei attended a wedding banquet of an old friend, he saw a familiar figure at the banquet.

That was the day the gunman opened the passenger door and fired several shots at him.

Upon discovering the man's identity, Liu Fei was furious and prepared to call the police station to have the thug arrested.

He immediately contacted his friend and asked where his home phone number was. He also casually inquired about the gunman's identity, thinking of avenging this great grudge.

But his friend's answer left Liu Fei stunned on the spot.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he had not acted rashly.

It turns out the gunman's name was Zhang Hongtao. His identity was not important; he was just a manager of a trading company. However, his father-in-law was no ordinary man; he was a director in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist government.

He holds a high position and wields great power.

That's someone Liu Fei wouldn't dare offend even if he were beaten to death.

Liu Fei immediately abandoned his thoughts of revenge.

He didn't dare to call for help, but simply memorized the person's name. After returning home, he had someone conduct a brief investigation into the person.

However, it turned out that Zhang Hongtao seemed to have a hidden identity.

However, if they wanted to continue the investigation, Liu Fei's men were running out of manpower, and one of them was discovered by Zhang Hongtao and had executed.

Thus, Liu Fei suppressed his anger. He secretly kept the matter in mind, and put Zhang Hongtao's photo and the note with simple information into a file bag, which was then placed in a sealed box.

Until the document bag was discovered by the field staff of the Survey and Statistics Bureau, it fell into Ye Shaohong's hands again...
