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

Chapter 140 Bloody Revenge

Ye Shaohong was enraged by the Japanese devils' assassination attempts over the past three days.

He no longer wanted to sit idly by and wait for his doom, and prepared to retaliate.

So what is the best option?

Of course it's murder.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong immediately raised his head and looked at Zhuang Yifan.

"Put the ledger on the table; I will review and verify it later."

"Now I give you a task."

"Go to the underground prison immediately and see how many of the imprisoned Japanese spies have had their cases concluded." "After the investigation and statistics are completed, hand them over to me along with their case files!"

Ye Shaohong made no attempt to conceal his anger, which Zhuang Yifan clearly sensed. He dared not delay or hesitate any longer, immediately put down the documents in his hand, saluted, and walked out.

Then Ye Shaohong picked up the phone on the table and dialed Xu Baichuan.

Ask him if he has time so I can report on my work schedule.

Xu Baichuan had just received a generous gift from Ye Shaohong yesterday, so of course he wouldn't easily refuse Ye Shaohong. He specially set aside a time for Ye Shaohong to meet, so Ye Shaohong could come anytime.

About half an hour later, Zhuang Yifan returned.

He had already compiled the case files of the detainees' identities and carried a thick stack of documents to Ye Shaohong's office.

"Twenty-three people?" "These are all Japanese spies whose cases have been closed but who haven't been executed yet?"

"Very good. I'm going to the director's office to report now. Please wait for me in this room for a moment. I will have a new task for you later."

After briefly reviewing the case files and confirming there were no obvious omissions, Ye Shaohong took the information compiled by Zhuang Yifan and left the room, heading straight to Xu Baichuan's office.

After entering, the two had a brief conversation, and Ye Shaohong went straight to explaining his ideas.

"what?"

"You're planning an execution?"

"No, I can't approve your plan, Shao Hong, you're still too young."

"Have you ever considered how tense the relationship between China and Japan is right now, on the verge of war breaking out at any moment? Under these circumstances, if you were to publicly execute captured Japanese spies, you might very well give the Japanese an excuse to start a war."

"This responsibility is too great. Not to mention me, even the Chief of Staff would probably not be able to make a decision easily."

Xu Baichuan was genuinely getting anxious. He clearly hadn't expected Ye Shaohong to act so brutally. Even if there was a reason behind it, this idea was still very dangerous.

Considering the money, antiques, and jewelry he had received the previous night, Xu Baichuan felt it necessary to remind Ye Shaohong.

It's okay for young people to be impulsive, but they should also leave themselves a way out.

Knowing what you can and cannot do, and especially not acting recklessly, is crucial; a wrong action could cost you your life.

"Director, you're overthinking it."

"I wanted to kill someone to vent my anger, but I wasn't crazy enough to disregard the consequences."

“Take this execution for example. We took Japanese spies with us, but we can pretend we didn’t see or hear them outside.” “We can only publicly announce their disguised identities and the evil deeds they committed. Under these circumstances, even if we execute them in public, what can the Japanese say?”

"Do they dare to publicize this matter, or do they dare to reveal the true identities of these people at a diplomatic conference?"

Since Ye Shaohong was determined to take revenge, he had naturally prepared a reason in advance. As soon as he said these words, they reached Xu Baichuan's ears, and Xu Baichuan's eyes immediately lit up.

"So that's what you were planning?"

"It's interesting."

"Tell me your specific plan. As long as there are no obvious oversights, I will support you."

"As for where you'll be seated, that depends on your abilities."

Xu Baichuan is truly cunning. In that brief moment, he had already figured out Ye Shaohong's thoughts and was willing to help him achieve his goal.

But he was unwilling to take responsibility, so he threw the trouble back at Ye Shaohong. "This matter is simple."

"Didn't the military task force under my command just capture two intelligence brokers?"

"They are all very wealthy."

"When the section chief goes to meet the director later, he can hand this envelope to him. After the director reads what's inside, he should agree."

Anyway, according to the rules of the Special Service Department, all the property confiscated from Liu Fei and Liu Bo's homes had to be handed over, so why not take the opportunity to get some benefits?

As long as the amount of money is sufficient, even if Dai Yunong harbors some dissatisfaction, he will not show it.

As they were talking, Ye Shaohong took out an envelope from his pocket, placed it on the table, and handed it to Xu Baichuan.

Xu Baichuan opened the envelope and looked at it; his face immediately showed shock.

"Fifty thousand silver dollars?" "Shao Hong, you've got quite the spending power."

"With this gift from you, things will be much easier."

"Leave the list here, and I will give you an answer within an hour."

Xu Baichuan stroked the thin envelope with his hand, his worries and concerns gone, and he agreed without hesitation.

"Then you're busy, Director. I'm leaving now. I'll wait for your news!"

Having received a satisfactory reply, Ye Shaohong felt much more relaxed. He winked playfully at Xu Baichuan and waved before leaving the room and returning to his office amidst Xu Baichuan's laughter and scolding.

Sure enough, Xu Baichuan called more than half an hour later.

He informed Ye Shaohong that Chief Dai Yunong had agreed to Ye Shaohong's proposed execution.

The execution was scheduled for this evening. Ye Shaohong had full authority to handle the specific time, location, operation arrangements, and the list of those to be executed.

There is only one objective: to deter and teach a lesson to those increasingly audacious Japanese spies.

Let them know that Jinling City is not a place where they can act recklessly.

After hearing Xu Baichuan's message, Ye Shaohong knew that Dai Yunong had understood his thoughts.

However, Dai Yunong's understanding of the matter this time was still too superficial.

That's right.

Ye Shaohong did have the intention of revenge and deterrence when he planned an execution, but that was only one aspect of it.

Digging deeper, it was discovered that Ye Shaohong also intended to provoke the Japanese spies.

He intended to use this execution to provoke the lurking Japanese spies, to enrage them, to make them lose their minds, and to lure them into the trap he had set.

"Zhuang Yifan, this task is entrusted to you."

"I don't care how many people you need to mobilize, or where you set up the execution site, I only have one requirement."

"Let more people know about this, let more people see the execution process, and let those damned Japanese devils not die so easily."

"By the way, isn't Dongfang Hui still imprisoned? She's still unwilling to confess. When she's executed, take her with you, make her kneel on the execution ground, and watch those people die one by one!"
