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

Chapter 119 Another Discovery

After listening to Liu Fei's account, Ye Shaohong fell silent, pondering the strangeness of the matter.

Even if the son-in-law of a director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not hold a position in the government, he is still a person of status and influence.

Even if Liu Fei were to follow and investigate him, someone like him would have many ways to explain and deal with it.

Why did he fire the gun?

Suspecting that the person following him has ulterior motives?

It shouldn't be.

If Zhang Hongtao's actions were solely motivated by concern for his own safety, they seem far too radical.

He can have his driver take him to police stations, military camps, or various government agencies along the way, easily shaking off any vehicles following him.

Unless he has a secret he's hiding.

Or perhaps there was one or more people in that car besides him who couldn't be noticed or detected by others.

"There is definitely a problem."

"Alright, I understand. I'll come to you if there are any further issues."

"Take it down."

Ye Shaohong waved his hand, watching the two field agents escort Liu Fei out, while he took Zhuang Yifan with him and left the underground prison.

"Take your men to Liu Fei's house immediately and seal up and seize all his valuables, property, shops, and belongings."

"After you've finished counting, bring the ledger to see me!"

After assigning Zhuang Yifan his tasks, Ye Shaohong called over another of his team leaders.

This man, named Zheng Haopeng, was originally a company commander in the Northeast Army. When the Special Service Department was reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he followed the path of the young marshal, a sworn brother of the department head, and thus entered the Military Affairs Department.

He became the captain of the third team under Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong was not familiar with this person, but he knew that he was very good at marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat.

He's quite the expert at taking action.

In his office, Ye Shaohong met Zheng Haopeng and finally learned about Zheng Haopeng's background.

This guy is no simpleton either.

Before joining the Bureau of Statistics and Surveys, he was a company commander in the Young Marshal's Guard Regiment. After the Xi'an Incident, the Young Marshal and General Yang were relieved of their military command, and he also lost his livelihood.

Then they settled down in Jinling City.

During this process, Zheng Haopeng coincidentally met a wealthy businessman and married his daughter.

Zheng Haopeng is rich and influential, and with his past experience, he has a very high opinion of himself.

The reorganization of the Special Service Department has been completed for three days, and he, as a subordinate, has not even paid a visit to Ye Shaohong, let alone offered gifts or pledged allegiance.

Ye Shaohong had some time today, so he wanted to give him a little nudge.

As for the process, there's not much to say.

First, they asked Zheng Haopeng about his resume, and then they asked him if his work at the Bureau of Statistics was going smoothly. The conversation seemed pointless, but it was actually full of traps.

Seeing that Zheng Haopeng still hadn't shown any inclination to align himself with him until the end of the conversation, Ye Shaohong decided not to waste any more time on him.

He casually adjusted Zheng Haopeng's work scope.

He was transferred from a frontline commander to the logistics department responsible for training. Although Zheng Haopeng was somewhat dissatisfied and looked down on Ye Shaohong, his young superior, he had no reason to refuse due to the difference in their ranks.

He could only accept the order with resentment and walk out.

Watching Zheng Haopeng turn and leave, Ye Shaohong narrowed his eyes. He had made up his mind to replace Zheng Haopeng when he found an opportunity.

or…….

Arrange an accident so that he dies sooner and is reborn sooner.

It's not that Ye Shaohong is heartless.

The intelligence agencies are truly treacherous and dangerous. If he can't even control his own territory, he could be assassinated at any time and lose his life.

It's all because Zheng Haopeng was too tactless. Ye Shaohong had already given him a chance, but he failed to seize it.

After dealing with this minor matter, Ye Shaohong went home. Three days later, in the morning, he had just arrived at Villa No. 1 of Honggongci when Li Yunlong called.

"Team leader, we've found something!"

"Just now, Wu Shuo, the supervisor of Dacheng Bank, suddenly disguised himself and left home. During this process, he also made several counter-tracking moves."

"I suspect he might be going to meet someone!"

For the past three days, Ye Shaohong had been waiting for news from Li Yunlong. Now that a call had finally come in, Ye Shaohong certainly wouldn't wait or hesitate. After hanging up the phone, he immediately drove off at high speed.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Shaohong met Li Yunlong in a teahouse.

His attire today was different from usual.

Instead of wearing his signature black silk jacket, he changed into a rickshaw puller's linen undershirt.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong, Li Yunlong did not rise to greet him. He simply put down his teacup, looked up, and glanced at the table.

Ye Shaohong indeed saw Wu Shuo there.

Just as Li Yunlong had said on the phone, Wu Shuo was also disguised today.

Instead of wearing a professional suit typical of bank supervisors, he was dressed in a dark blue robe with a thick beard around his chin, one foot propped up on a bench, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Shaohong was also slightly taken aback.

He suddenly realized that he had underestimated this person.

For intelligence agents, simple disguise and changing clothes is something anyone can do and nothing to talk about. But what makes Wu Shuo so special is that after he disguises himself, he can also make corresponding changes in his behavior and expression according to his new clothes.

If it weren't for Li Yunlong following him, even Ye Shaohong would have found it difficult to connect the person in front of him with the bank supervisor.

Of course, despite his surprise, Ye Shaohong didn't show it.

He walked slowly and deliberately, like an ordinary tea drinker, to the position behind Li Yunlong.

He called over the teahouse waiter again, casually ordered a pot of jasmine tea, and added two small snacks.

After the teahouse waiter had gone off shouting for tea, Ye Shaohong took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and gently tapped the table with his hand.

Li Yunlong, understanding the implication, immediately lowered his voice and began to report to Ye Shaohong.

"Section Chief, he just arrived and hasn't met the person he was supposed to meet yet."

"Ok!"

Ye Shaohong pursed his lips and made a small sound as a response, then ignored Li Yunlong and looked towards the small stage in the teahouse.

There was a young girl of about sixteen years old singing Suzhou storytelling.

Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale's, and not only were the lyrics and melody beautiful, but even Ye Shaohong, who had seen many such singing women since childhood, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Just then, the waiter from the teahouse came over with tea and fruit.

Ye Shaohong casually pulled out two silver dollars from his pocket and tossed them onto the tea tray with a crisp "bang".

"Don't shout, don't interrupt the woman's emotions."

"One of these two silver dollars is for your tea. The other one, after the girl finishes singing, you can pass it on to her for me."
