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

Chapter 122 Dai Yunong's Thoughts

Ye Shaohong didn't have a moment's rest all night.

He first led a team to arrest Dongfang Hui, and after finding the radio and codebook, he sent them back to Villa No. 1 Honggongci overnight.

After a short rest, they led men to capture Wu Shuo.

It took more than two hours of work to transport Wu Shuo, along with his family and belongings, back to Hong Gongci.

I didn't sleep all night, so I was quite tired, but the results were very rewarding.

Japanese spies, radios, codebooks—these are all visible achievements. In addition, they also seized more than three thousand US dollars, more than ten gold bars of various sizes, and thousands of silver dollars.

They made a small fortune. Ye Shaohong was also very happy, and when the operation ended, he immediately distributed over a thousand silver dollars.

The field staff who accompanied him were overjoyed.

He kept praising the team leader for his generosity.

Driven by the lure of money, everyone was as energetic as if they'd been injected with adrenaline. After returning to the Hong Ancestral Hall, they didn't rest or catch up on sleep; instead, they went straight into the interrogation room.

The first person brought up was Dongfang Hui.

This young woman looks quite young, but she has a very stubborn temper.

She remained unmoved by Ye Shaohong's interrogation, whether it was his psychological tactics or Li Yunlong's underworld methods.

Ye Shaohong had arrested quite a few Japanese spies, but this was the first time he had seen someone so stubborn.

He was also very troubled.

Li Yunlong, being a man from the underworld, knew nothing of chivalry or tenderness. Seeing Ye Shaohong's predicament, he offered two insidious ideas.

They wanted to use this on the Japanese female spy to pry open her mouth.

Ye Shaohong thought about it for a while, but in the end he gave up.

This isn't because he's soft-hearted.

He didn't want to resort to such a morally reprehensible method simply because the situation hadn't become that dire.

Since it was already daylight, he decided to stop the interrogation and sent a few people out to buy some breakfast to distribute to the field agents involved in the operation, as a gesture of concern from Ye Shaohong.

After breakfast, Ye Shaohong didn't rest. He immediately knocked on Zheng Yaoxian's door.

Report back on yesterday's actions and any gains or achievements.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's report that they had captured two more Japanese spies and even found a radio and codebook during the search, Zheng Yaoxian was both surprised and excited. He immediately instructed Ye Shaohong to send someone to transport the items over.

After carefully checking the radio and codebook, Zheng Yaoxian patted Ye Shaohong on the shoulder and praised him repeatedly.

I was right about him.

It made me look good.

The two talked for about ten minutes. Just then, Dai Yunong's car drove into Villa No. 1 of Honggongci. Zheng Yaoxian then took Ye Shaohong, along with the radio and codebook, to the director's office.

When Dai Yunong pushed open the door and walked in, seeing the two of them, as well as the radio and codebook on the table, a smile immediately appeared on Dai Yunong's face.

"When I was outside just now, Qi Wu told me that the two of you had arrived."

"We all gained something."

"I was wondering what surprise you guys could have for me so early in the morning. Now it seems like a wonderful surprise!" Mao Renfeng, who followed Dai Yunong into the room, smiled and winked at Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong immediately understood.

All of this was thanks to Mao Renfeng's secret assistance. He deliberately hid their gains from Dai Yunong, wanting to create the biggest surprise for Dai Yunong.

Let Ye Shaohong gain face in front of Dai Yunong and win him the greatest merit.

At the same time, he also made Ye Shaohong understand a principle: a villain like Mao Renfeng may not be able to help you achieve success, but he definitely has the means to ruin your future.

"Oh shit!"

Why is this person sticking to me like this?

Ye Shaohong cursed inwardly. If he hadn't transmigrated from another world, he probably would have already pledged allegiance to Mao Renfeng after being repeatedly recruited.

But things are different now. With his experience from the future and access to a vast amount of online literature, Ye Shaohong knows very well what kind of person Mao Renfeng is.

He was not only a snob, but also a mean and ungrateful person.

If someone truly joins his ranks and things are going smoothly, Mao Renfeng can indeed provide him with some assistance. However, when adversity strikes, this smiling tiger will not hesitate to throw him out to protect his own interests.

We have to think of a solution.

While Ye Shaohong was pondering this, Zheng Yaoxian stepped forward and recounted the events of the previous night to Dai Yunong.

There was no concealment, nor was there any deliberate exaggeration.

He recounted the operation truthfully, including Ye Shaohong's role in it and the final outcome.

Dai Yunong listened very carefully.

He didn't interrupt Zheng Yaoxian's report from beginning to end. Only after Zheng Yaoxian finished speaking did Dai Yunong throw his head back and burst into laughter.

"it is good!"

"Okay!"

"Shao Hong truly lives up to his reputation as a young talent in our Special Service Department. Look, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has just been established, and those parasites in the First and Third Divisions are still busy fighting for power and profit. Shao Hong has already fired the first shot in our work against Japan on behalf of our Special Service Department!"

"I must report this to the principal so that he can be happy too!"

Did Dai Yunong really want to curry favor with Ye Shaohong and please the bald-headed Chairman? Of course not. He wanted to use this opportunity to damage the CC Clique's image in front of the Chairman.

Although the establishment of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics brought the Special Service from the shadows to the forefront.

He also received a formal position in the Nationalist government and was given the opportunity for expansion and development, but it is undeniable that Dai Yunong's power was still weak at this time. Compared with the CC Clique led by Chen Yi and Chen Shen, he was just beginning to emerge.

This can be seen in the organizational structure of the National Bureau of Statistics.

Xu Enzeng's first office and Ding Mocun's third office were both forces of the Chen Shuang CC faction, while Dai Yunong did not have a strong backer.

Some might say that Chiang Kai-shek is Dai Yunong's backer.

That's not true.

Although Dai Yunong was a favorite of Chiang Kai-shek during this period, he was far from being a confidant.

Who are Shuang Chen and Chen?

They were the unborn nephews of Chen Qi, the mentor of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

Chen Guofu, the elder of the two Chen brothers, had already been openly and secretly supporting Chiang Kai-shek as early as 1924, when the Whampoa Military Academy was established. From the end of 1924 to April 1926, Chen Guofu recruited more than 4,000 students for the Whampoa Military Academy. Although he did not hold an important position in the Whampoa Military Academy, he enjoyed great prestige among the graduates.

He was an important assistant to Chiang Kai-shek in controlling the military officers of the Whampoa Military Academy.

And what about Chen Lifu, the younger brother of the two Chens?

His studies were funded by Chiang Kai-shek himself, and Chen Lifu even addressed Chiang Kai-shek as "Third Uncle Chiang" in front of him.

It's easy to imagine how close these two individuals are to the Chairman.

It was later one of the four major families of the Nationalist government, and that's no joke.

What about Dai Yunong?

Right now, he's nothing more than a vicious dog on Jiang's leash. He's somewhat useful, but he's nowhere near as good as the two Chens.

Now he can only compete with Xu Enzeng and Ding Mocun, who are under the command of Shuang Chen.

Dai Yunong was very clear about his position.

That's why he was so eager to show off, and Ye Shaohong's actions today just happened to give him another opportunity. Of course, Dai Yunong found Ye Shaohong more and more pleasing to the eye.

They even had the idea of ​​bringing Ye Shaohong under their wing.

If Mao Renfeng knew this, I wonder what he would think?
