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

Chapter 153 Jackals and Evil Spirits

On this day, a strange thing happened at Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

Starting from around 8 a.m., the second military division's field operations were very busy.

They rushed out by car and returned in a flurry of activity, just over half an hour later.

Unlike when they went out, when they returned, these field agents from the Second Military Section looked much more disheveled.

Many of the people were filthy, and one of them even had a bruise on his arm.

But they all had bright smiles on their faces.

There was no other reason. It was simply because they had captured two more Japanese spies on this trip. According to Team Leader Ye Shaohong's usual style, meritorious service would be rewarded, and a hefty one at that.

If divided among them, it would be enough for each of them to visit a small brothel several times and drink heavily for several days in a row.

But this is just the beginning.

After throwing the two newly captured Japanese spies into the underground cell, they didn't even rest before getting back into their car and hurriedly driving away.

Then things got lively.

The field agents at this second location acted as if they were walking through a city gate, going out for about half an hour and then returning.

Each time they returned, they managed to capture a few Japanese spies, more or less.

No one cared at first.

But if such things happen too often, it's hard to go unnoticed.

Gradually, the staff at Villa No. 1 of Honggong Temple started talking about it.

Some say the military department got incredibly lucky, stumbling upon a list of Japanese spies and is now meticulously searching for and arresting them.

Some say that a high-ranking Japanese spy surrendered himself, and these people were his pledge of allegiance.

There are those who watch the spectacle, and naturally, there are those who feel envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Seeing the Second Military Section's action team members coming and going, constantly making new achievements, some people couldn't control themselves and wanted to steal the credit halfway.

They embellished the discoveries and rumors of the day and reported them to their superiors.

We hope the superior can step in and help them discuss with the Second Military Section to share some of the credit.

Then there were the ruthless and insidious ones who, seeing they couldn't benefit from the situation, started sowing discord with sarcastic remarks and engaging in the underhanded trick of "giving birth to a son without an anus." At first, the commotion wasn't too big, and Ye Shaohong didn't hear about it.

It wasn't until Zheng Yaoxian called his office that Ye Shaohong realized just how big a commotion Li Yunlong had caused this time.

"Shaohong, I heard that your group has made another contribution, but I haven't seen you report it to me."

This was the first time Ye Shaohong had heard Zheng Yaoxian express any dissatisfaction since they met, which made Ye Shaohong pause for a moment.

"Section Chief, what merit do you have? I didn't know about it."

"You do not know?"

"The commotion your group caused today has even alarmed the four section chiefs above. How could you, as the group leader, not know about it?"

"Are you trying to fool me?"

Zheng Yaoxian sat in his office, smoking a cigarette and rubbing his forehead in exasperation. A hint of amusement crept into his words. "Section Chief, I really don't know?"

"Why don't you have a change of heart and give me a heads-up so I can think about it carefully?"

By this point, Ye Shaohong had basically guessed what had happened, but since he had already given a bewildered response, he could only continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"it is good!"

"You're fine."

"Ye Shaohong, keep pretending! You say you don't know anything? Then get over here right now and I'll explain it to you!"

With a "Pa" sound, the phone was hung up.

Ye Shaohong stood in his office, looking at the microphone in his hand with a bewildered expression, feeling that something was amiss.

But he couldn't figure out exactly what he had done wrong in a short time. "Could it be that Section Chief Zheng has lost his mind today?"

"Or did he get dumped by a woman?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Zheng Yaoxian's destined soulmate, Cheng Zhen'er, hasn't appeared yet. I've investigated that."

"Or is there hidden, unreleased content in the Kite spy drama?"

Ye Shaohong muttered to himself for a while, but still couldn't figure out the specific reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it, picked up his coat from the hanger, and went straight out of the office.

When Ye Shaohong arrived at Zheng Yaoxian's room, he originally intended to just push the door open and go in. In the past, when he came over, he never greeted anyone or knocked on the door.

But today is different.

He didn't know what had gotten into Zheng Yaoxian; suddenly a phone call came in, and he was immediately berated.

To prevent any accidents, Ye Shaohong stopped what he was doing and knocked on the door. "Come in!"

Zheng Yaoxian's grumbling came from inside the room. Ye Shaohong rubbed his nose again before carefully pushing open the door.

He didn't rush inside.

Instead, he first poked his head through the crack in the door.

Seeing Zheng Yaoxian sitting behind his desk, a cigarette in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, watching him with interest, Ye Shaohong finally felt relieved.

"Section Chief, did I disturb you?"

"Can't you see if I'm bothering you, you little rascal? Come on in."

Zheng Yaoxian wasn't angry with Ye Shaohong at all; he was just stunned by today's events. After a brief moment of calm, he returned to his usual self.

He greeted Ye Shaohong as usual. "Hey!"

"Section Chief, are you calmed down? If not, tell me and I'll help you cool down."

Ye Shaohong pushed open the door and walked into the room on his own. He greeted Zheng Yaoxian while rinsing his cups and pouring himself tea and water, as if he were back in his own home.

"I have anger in my heart, but it's not directed at you."

"You wouldn't believe it, just now, Section Chief He from the political science class came to me. He wanted to discuss with me whether you should share some of the credit you've earned with him."

"I told him to fill the performance gaps, but I immediately shut him down."

"What a load of crap! His men are incompetent and can't catch any Japanese devils, so he tries to take advantage of my military department. He even brought up Old Xu, saying that since we're in the same department, we should help each other out. What a load of crap!"

He explained the reason for Zheng Yaoxian's anger in a few simple words, and then asked Ye Shaohong about the situation of Li Yunlong's action team today.

Zheng Yaoxian was very happy to learn that he had finally found an adversary to assassinate him.

"Okay!"

"If we can really hurt Tu Feiyuan Xian Er this time, he won't dare to mess with you again."

"Your life will then be guaranteed."

"In the end, it's all the same case, so I have even more reason to deal with those wolves and devils. Don't worry, Shao Hong, with me upstairs keeping an eye on things for you, no one can take away the credit that's rightfully yours!"
