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

Chapter 154 Zheng Yaoxian's Test

Ye Shaohong was not surprised by this result.

He had already considered this possibility before even arriving at Zheng Yaoxian's office.

They also came up with countermeasures.

Zheng Yaoxian's initiative saved Ye Shaohong time from explaining, allowing him to enjoy some peace and quiet.

A few lighthearted compliments now and then are enough to get by.

This is the advantage of having a powerful figure protecting you.

Most importantly, Zheng Yaoxian also knew that as long as he didn't do anything to harm the Communist Party, given Zheng Yaoxian's character, he wouldn't stab him in the back. Don't worry.

In a secret service organization teeming with ghosts and monsters, and filled with all sorts of ruthless and vicious individuals, such a person would be extremely rare and exceptional.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong was genuinely willing to follow Zheng Yaoxian.

They were also willing to acknowledge him as a big shot.

As for whether he himself should step forward or become the one to stick his neck out, Ye Shaohong hadn't really thought about it.

He didn't have a system, and no one gave him any tasks.

There were no rewards dangling in front of them.

Why did he have to stand up for himself?

Why not hide behind Zheng Yaoxian, make money and gain merit in peace?

Of course, Ye Shaohong was not the kind of person who would allow himself to be bullied.

If anyone dares to bully him or thinks he is too soft-hearted, Ye Shaohong wouldn't hesitate to devise a vicious scheme, use underhanded tactics, or strike them down, and then conveniently wipe them all out.

In short, just survive.

Or rather, it should be said that one should be high-profile in doing things but low-profile in living.

"Section Chief, you are wise!"

"With you here, I feel at ease. Here's what I'll do: I'll treat you to dinner sometime when you have time."

Ye Shaohong shamelessly wandered around Zheng Yaoxian, not caring whether his behavior was embarrassing, after all, the person in front of him was Zheng Yaoxian.

Our Party's strategic-level undercover agents.

In almost all spy dramas, he is a true hero who can be ranked at the top level.

In ancient times, he would have been an invincible hero of his time.

Ye Shaohong wasn't his lackey; he was just freeloading off him. There was nothing shameful about it, really nothing shameful. "Are you treating me to dinner?"

"Then forget it. My stomach hasn't been feeling well lately. I went to see a doctor a while ago, and he said I have damp-heat in my spleen and stomach."

“I got a few doses of medicine from him, but they didn’t have much effect after I took them.”

“I’ve been having a headache over this lately.”

Zheng Yaoxian shook his head, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up at Ye Shaohong.

"By the way, Shao Hong, I remember you've been in Jinling for four or five years now. Do you know any good traditional Chinese medicine doctors? Could you recommend one or two to me?"

"I want them to prescribe me a dose or two of medicine to quickly treat this annoying ailment."

Zheng Yaoxian's question seemed casual, but when it reached Ye Shaohong's ears, it made Ye Shaohong's heart jump.

"What's going on?" "Why would Zheng Yaoxian suddenly ask me such a strange question?"

"Is it a secret code?"

"It doesn't seem like it. So why is he mentioning traditional Chinese medicine? Could it be that he's trying to subtly inquire about something from me?"

"Could it be that my secret contact with Lu Hanqing, the manager of Huichuntang Pharmacy, has been exposed?"

Ye Shaohong's heart tightened, but he didn't show it. Just then, Ye Shaohong raised his glass to drink water, which conveniently covered his face, giving Ye Shaohong more time to react.

"Damp-heat in the spleen and stomach?"

"Although it's not a serious illness, it's still quite troublesome to cure completely."

"As for famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors, I do know a few, such as Dr. Zhang from Renshoutang, Dr. Chen from Chen's Medical Hall, Dr. Lu from Huichun Pharmacy, and Mr. Ouyang, a retired imperial physician from the Qing Dynasty Imperial Pharmacy. They are all quite famous. Although I don't know which of them has the best medical skills or what they are good at, it's always good to take a look and ask more questions."

Regardless of whether Zheng Yaoxian was testing him or not, Ye Shaohong felt that his cautious approach was the right thing to do.

So when responding to this topic, Ye Shaohong didn't hide anything and even made a point of mentioning Dr. Lu Hanqing of Huichuntang Pharmacy, deliberately showing signs of being open and honest.

really.

Upon hearing his words, Zheng Yaoxian's smoking motion noticeably paused slightly.

"Dr. Zhang from Renshoutang, Dr. Chen from Chen's Medical Hall, Dr. Lu from Huichuntang, and Mr. Ouyang, an old Chinese medicine doctor from the previous dynasty?"

"Shao Hong, don't let your young age fool you, you know quite a few traditional Chinese medicine doctors."

"Speaking of which, it was Dr. Chen from Chen's Medical Clinic who diagnosed my illness. After taking two doses of medicine without getting better, I went to Huichuntang to see Dr. Lu, who has been helping me to regulate my body recently."

"I didn't expect that you would point out both of these doctors."

"Alright then, I'll keep looking. If it still doesn't work, I'll go to Renshoutang and visit Mr. Ouyang. I hope they can help me recover."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zheng Yaoxian hadn't given up easily even after Ye Shaohong had already pretended to be unintentional.

He brought it up again in front of Ye Shaohong.

Is this another test?

Or was Zheng Yaoxian setting up an ambush with Ye Shaohong, creating an opportunity for him to contact Lu Hanqing later, so that Ye Shaohong could testify for him when someone inquired about it in the future?

In that brief moment, Ye Shaohong thought about many things, and finally he came up with an idea.

Regardless of why Zheng Yaoxian brought up Dr. Lu Hanqing of Huichuntang Pharmacy again, he had to deal with it.

Firstly, to respond to Zheng Yaoxian's questions.

On the other hand, Ye Shaohong was also willing to provide cover for Zheng Yaoxian.

If it could help Zheng Yaoxian to remain in hiding even better, or even dispel Dai Yunong's suspicions about Zheng Yaoxian, that would be perfect.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong didn't hesitate any longer and immediately nodded and smiled.

"We really should go and take a look."

"Men should take good care of themselves too. It won't hurt to take care of yourself. Next time you go to get your medicine, you can call me along."

"I'll also go and open a few more to let them rest and recover."

"It's probably because I slept on a hard bed at military school these past few years and rolled around in mud all day. My back aches when it's windy or rainy, and I also have some signs of rheumatism. You can't see it now that I'm young, but I'm really afraid it will come back when I'm older." Regardless of what Zheng Yaoxian was thinking, Ye Shaohong took it as helping him. As for what Zheng Yaoxian planned to do, how he laid the groundwork, and how he would take advantage of him, Ye Shaohong didn't care.

really.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Zheng Yaoxian's eyes lit up. He seemed to have thought of something and immediately nodded with a smile in agreement.

"Okay."

"I'll run out of my medicine in a few days, and I'd like to ask Doctor Lu Hanqing to change the prescription for me. I'll ask you to come with me then."
