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

Chapter 144 I Can't Hold On Anymore

On his trip out of the city, he killed eighteen imprisoned Japanese spies and casually killed four more.

Ye Shaohong felt that the trip was worthwhile.

More importantly, he also discovered a suspected Japanese spy, and Li Yunlong had already followed him.

Ye Shaohong didn't know if there would be any gains; he just had to wait for news.

When he returned to Villa No. 1 of Honggong Temple, it was already getting dark. He had Zhuang Yifan take Dongfang Hui into the dungeon, while he went straight home.

Having lived two lives, Ye Shaohong has finally tasted the forbidden fruit, and now he is enjoying the taste even more.

If it weren't for work keeping him occupied, and the fact that his body was afraid of giving out from continuous labor, Ye Shaohong would really like to follow in the footsteps of King Zhou and indulge in a few days of wine, women, and food.

Ye Shaohong also remembered that tomorrow was the day the Ma family would return home.

Yes, it's the same company.

When Mr. Ma and his son came to Jinling, it was just the two of them. They took a tour of Jinling City and didn't get tired at all. Instead, Mr. Ma's eldest son got a wife for free.

Life is truly unpredictable. Overall, it should be considered a happy event.

The first thing I smelled when I got home was the aroma of food.

Then I saw those figures bustling about in the courtyard.

Ye Shaohong went over to ask what was going on and learned that the poor mother and daughter were about to leave, and their young master would have to go through another period of uncertainty. The two women couldn't bear it and were preparing some cooked food and pastries for him before he left. They were also thinking of teaching Yu Manli how to make Hunan-style sausages and cured meat.

Hearing this, Ye Shaohong also felt a little hungry. Although he was from the north in his previous life, he really liked the sausages and cured meats from Hunan and Sichuan provinces.

Whenever e-commerce platforms have promotions, such as 618 or Double Eleven, Ye Shaohong would buy some items.

Over the course of a year, he can eat more than 30 kilograms of sausages and cured meat by himself.

Having transmigrated and been reborn, Ye Shaohong was eager to find these delicacies, but the transportation conditions of this era were truly terrible, and he never got to eat those authentic preserved meats again.

This was once considered a regrettable matter.

Now that he had another opportunity, Ye Shaohong was not about to let it slip away. He not only supervised Yu Manli to study hard, but he also went over to ask her all sorts of questions to figure out all the production steps.

In this way, time passed very quickly.

After nightfall and dinner, Ye Shaohong originally wanted to take Yu Manli back to the room to have a good time and talk about the Pan Chang Dao.

But Yu Manli suddenly told him that it wouldn't work today.

Ye Shaohong was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood. This required knowledge from his past life; otherwise, given his simple and honest nature, he might have really pressed for an answer.

Remarkably, Ye Shaohong didn't continue causing trouble.

But this young man, having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, always found it difficult to calm down after nightfall.

Yu Manli felt a little sorry for Ye Shaohong after seeing this, so she came up with a special way to help him alleviate the situation a little.

Uh-huh…….

It really only provides temporary relief.

Although Ye Shaohong has not yet tested his physical fitness due to his injuries, he can clearly sense that it is indeed slowly improving.

Putting everything else aside, he's really strong in that area. Even Yu Manli couldn't quite handle it.

The next morning, Ye Shaohong was awakened by the sound outside the window. He then remembered that the ferry that Uncle Ma and the others were going to take was the early morning one.

Ye Shaohong quickly got out of bed, ate with everyone, and then the group of six left home in a hurry.

Watching the Ma family board the passenger ship and their figures gradually disappear into the distance, Yu Manli turned around and looked at Ye Shaohong.

"If you can't bear to part with them, why not let them stay?"

"I suppose the master in the remote mountain city of Sichuan won't blame you once he hears the news."

Ye Shaohong knew that this question wasn't just on Yu Manli's mind; it was also on Ma Bo and his son, as well as on that poor mother and daughter.

He did consider it.

But in the end, Ye Shaohong gave up. There was no other reason; he simply knew very well that Jinling City was not as peaceful and tranquil as it appeared on the surface.

Even setting aside the major battle a few months later, in Nanjing right now, if not a few armed clashes break out every day, you can hear gunfire every few days.

Ye Shaohong couldn't let Ma Bo and his family risk their lives for him just because of his own selfish desires.

Even last night, Ye Shaohong had considered whether to send Yu Manli to the mountain city as well.

He mentioned it too.

It's just that Yu Manli wouldn't agree.

This little girl just found a sense of home here with Ye Shaohong, so she's reluctant to leave.

Ye Shaohong had no choice but to give up for the time being.

But he had already decided that he would tolerate Yu Manli for another two or three months at most. Once summer arrived in July, he would send her away regardless of whether she agreed or not. That way, he would have one less thing to worry about.

After leaving Zhongshan Wharf, Yu Manli went straight home, while Ye Shaohong had the rickshaw driver take a detour to visit Chaotian Palace.

Seeing that the rouge shop he had given to Yu Manli was still open, and a disheveled middle-aged man in his forties was lying lazily inside, Ye Shaohong's anger immediately flared up.

"Is this Yu Manli's adoptive father?"

"Although I don't know whether what you said is true or false, I'm not Yu Manli. I'm not as soft-hearted and kind as her."

"If you fall into my hands, you're in for a rough time."

Ye Shaohong told the rickshaw driver to stop at the intersection, and then made a phone call to the South City Police Station, summoning Police Chief Zhou Fei.

Hearing Ye Shaohong's voice, Zhou Fei was terrified.

He told Ye Shaohong that he had mobilized all his connections over the past few days, doing everything in his power to find the two people who had forged their identities. However, time was too short and the clues were too few, so they had not yet found any conclusive information.

We only have a few clues.

Zhou Fei hoped Ye Shaohong could give him more time, even just a day or two would be fine.

Upon hearing Zhou Fei's report, Ye Shaohong thought about the work he was currently handling. He did indeed have a lot of tasks, and even if Zhou Fei had found some clues, he wouldn't be able to focus on them all at the moment.

So Ye Shaohong agreed.

However, Zhou Fei was only given two more days.

He also asked Zhou Fei to do something for him: to immediately send someone to Chaotian Palace, the area under his jurisdiction, to arrest the old rogue in the rouge shop.

There's no need to send it to the Bureau of Statistics; given the old rogue's style, he's really not qualified.

Throw him in jail and let him experience the harsh realities of life. Ye Shaohong also asked Zhou Fei to help him interrogate the old rogue carefully to see if what he said was true or false.

These were all things he had promised Yu Manli.

I was too busy the past few days and didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters. Now that I finally have some free time, I should take care of them.

After dealing with these matters casually, Ye Shaohong leisurely went to Villa No. 1 of Honggong Temple.

He had just stepped into his office when Zhuang Yifan impatiently knocked on Ye Shaohong's office door.

The first words spoken upon entering the room made Ye Shaohong immediately stand up.

"Team leader, that woman Dongfang Hui has confessed!"
