Chapter 152 Taking Him as a Trusted Confidant

Seeing Li Yunlong turn and leave with an excited expression, Ye Shaohong lowered his head and began to peruse the case files again.

After confirming several times that there were no doubts or omissions, Ye Shaohong put the case file into the bookcase behind him.

Only after the case is closed and the case closure report is handwritten will the case file be sent to the department's confidential office for record-keeping and for subsequent review by other personnel.

After finishing this matter, Ye Shaohong did not have any free time.

Instead, he picked up the phone again and called Zhuang Yifan to his office to inquire about Dongfang Hui's recent situation.

This woman has been detained for some time now.

From initially refusing to cooperate to making one-sided compromises after suffering repeated blows, he tried to survive by confessing his comrades and wanted to watch Ye Shaohong die.

Ye Shaohong was still somewhat patient with her.

So during this period, he did not interrogate her again.

But things are different now.

With Chizuru Kamio's capture and confession, and with Doi-en Kenji's plan failing, the four action groups—Fūrai, Harurai, Asada, and Chizuru—revealed their whereabouts.

The value of Dongfang Hui's intelligence has been reduced to the extreme.

Ye Shaohong didn't want to deal with him anymore.

So when Zhuang Yifan arrived, Ye Shaohong told him directly to drag Dongfang Hui out of the underground cell and interrogate her again.

If Dongfang Hui still wants to resist to the death, then there's no need to keep her alive any longer.

They can be executed immediately.

Upon hearing the news, Zhuang Yifan was somewhat unable to accept it. Strictly speaking, the Dongfang Hui case was the first task he personally oversaw.

Just like the arrest mission Li Yunlong had just received, it involved tracking the entire process.

It's normal for Zhuang Yifan to be upset now that Ye Shaohong wants him to close the case quickly. He doesn't dare to openly disobey Ye Shaohong's orders, so he can only try to ask for a little more time.

According to Zhuang Yifan, if given more time, he was confident that he could get Dongfang Hui to confess completely.

That way, there might still be some gains.

Zhuang Yifan's request surprised Ye Shaohong.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Zhuang Yifan had asked him for a favor, so even if Ye Shaohong was unwilling, he had to treat it with caution and give it much consideration.

For once, he didn't immediately respond, but instead frowned and sat down to think.

After a moment, Ye Shaohong made his decision. "Yifan, have you thought it through? Do you really want to continue pursuing this?"

"Please give me a chance, team leader, I want to try!"

Ye Shaohong was very pleased with Zhuang Yifan's change. He knew that from this moment on, Zhuang Yifan was no longer the highway robber.

His mindset and attitude have begun to shift towards that of a secret agent.

If Zhuang Yifan can really take this opportunity to uncover the secrets hidden deep within Dongfang Hui, then he will have the ability to stand on his own.

This will also provide Ye Shaohong with more assistance in the future.

"I really didn't expect that."

"The two squad leaders I personally selected have not yet changed their mindset and attitude, while this highway robber saw it through a step ahead of time."

Ye Shaohong sighed inwardly. He didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed. But one thing he was very clear about.

As Zhuang Yifan grows, his future path will become wider and wider.

It's quite possible that he could follow in Ye Shaohong's footsteps.

"it is good!"

"I'll give you this chance."

"Three days, only three days. If you can get Dongfang Hui to open up and tell you all her secrets within three days, I will personally go to Section Chief Zheng to recommend you for credit."

"If you can't do it..."

Ye Shaohong's face darkened, and his words revealed a hint of murderous intent.

That's right.

This was Zhuang Yifan's chance, but it was also the first time he had disobeyed Ye Shaohong's orders. Ye Shaohong understood his thoughts, but Zhuang Yifan's timing and manner of speaking were both wrong. Ye Shaohong wanted to teach him a lesson.

Zhuang Yifan didn't understand the reasoning, but he saw the anger in Ye Shaohong's eyes.

The burly man, who was 1.89 meters tall, immediately trembled. He dared not say another word or ask why, and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Team leader, if I can't do it, I'm willing to take off this uniform and go back to South City Prison!"

Zhuang Yifan forced out the last few words through gritted teeth.

When he uttered those words, his eyes turned red, and a few tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Of course, a tough guy won't let tears fall easily.

In a fleeting moment, the mist disappeared.

What emerges instead is an unwavering will; Zhuang Yifan has made his decision: he must complete this mission. Back to Nancheng Prison?

What a joke.

He barely managed to seize the opportunity by risking his life to climb out of that hellish place, and he would never go back.

He is now a soldier.

His statement just now is equivalent to a military order.

He would rather die than suffer further humiliation if he could not complete the mission.

Zhuang Yifan couldn't tell Ye Shaohong any of this, because if he did, it wouldn't be a declaration of his determination.

Instead, they were coercing Ye Shaohong, his superiors, and the benefactor who had brought him out of the mud and swamp.

"South City Prison?"

"That's not the case. You've followed me for a while now. I, Ye Shaohong, am not so heartless as to completely destroy you just because of one failed mission."

"But if we fail, I really can't keep you here any longer."

"I will send you to a local army unit, to the front line, so that you can earn your own way to wealth and success there."

This should be considered a challenge that Ye Shaohong arranged for Zhuang Yifan.

Just like Gong Shu.

When he joined Sixth Brother's tutelage, it wasn't easy. He had to abandon everything and submit his pledge of loyalty.

Then came the careful training from Sixth Brother Zheng Yaoxian, and he eventually became Zheng Yaoxian's capable assistant.

Ye Shaohong didn't know the details of Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi's relationship.

This process must have happened. "Team leader!"

Zhuang Yifan roared, his voice trembling slightly.

"Stop being so wishy-washy. I just told you about the punishment. Now I'll paint a picture of the future for you. If you can solve the Dongfang Hui case completely on your own, from now on you'll be mine, Ye Shaohong's person."

"We are brothers, and we must fight side by side in this chaotic world and live on back to back."

"You have entrusted your life to me, and I, Ye Shaohong, will not let you down. From now on, as long as I, Ye Shaohong, have a bite to eat, you, Zhuang Yifan, will also have a bite to eat."

"I've given you the opportunity; whether you can seize it is up to you."

"do not let me down!"
