Chapter 161 Stay Away From Him

Zhang Rou'er's changing expression reflected her inner struggle.

Ye Shaohong didn't want to pressure her, but he needed to figure this out before he could make a decision about how far he should go with his words.

Because with this kind of thing, saying one more word increases the risk.

He was willing to take risks for Zhang Rou'er's safety, but the risks varied in degree. If possible, Ye Shaohong was certainly unwilling to touch the taboo of life and death.

"Sister Rou'er!"

"I know you're very unhappy with my identity."

"But you should also know that I have no ill intentions towards you. You are my elder sister's best friend, and you have taken good care of me over the years at the Central Military Academy."

"I will do everything in my power to protect you, no matter how small the chance. You should understand what I mean."

This was the first time Ye Shaohong had addressed Zhang Rou'er as he usually did.

He expressed his attitude.

This also softened Zhang Rou'er's resistance to him and slightly increased her trust in him.

"Sister Rou'er?"

"I thought I would never hear that title again."

"Alright, since you've said that, I can tell you the truth. The situation is pretty much as you guessed."

"I didn't get permission to come see you this time. As for my relationship with that person, it's not as close as you imagine. He doesn't know my identity, and I haven't shown any attitude or inclination towards him." "Now you're relieved, can you tell me what you know?"

Zhang Rou'er wasn't stupid. With this period of buffer time, she had roughly understood Ye Shaohong's thoughts and finally let down her guard, becoming less distant from him.

"Sister Rou'er, you know what I do. There are many things I can't tell you. Telling you would only cause trouble and annoy you."

"The only thing I can tell you is to stay away from that person."

"He's not as naive as you think, nor as patriotic as he appears!"

Having said that, Ye Shaohong stopped talking. He believed that with Zhang Rou'er's intelligence, even if she couldn't guess his thoughts, she could probably understand what he meant.

This is enough.

This solution protects Zhang Rou'er without getting Ye Shaohong into trouble. For now, it seems to be the best solution.

"That's it!"

"Ok, I see."

Zhang Rou'er was slightly taken aback. She was reluctant to believe it, but it was the truth. In her opinion, Ye Shaohong had no reason to lie to her about this matter.

Because there is no benefit to it.

Immediately, Zhang Rou'er remembered Ye Shaohong's identity once again.

Through today's interaction, she also discovered that Ye Shaohong was not as hateful and crazy as she had previously imagined.

Zhang Rou'er immediately had the idea of ​​bringing Ye Shaohong back into the organization.

She decided to try again.

"Shao Hong, since you..."

"Sister Rou'er!" Before Zhang Rou'er could finish speaking, Ye Shaohong, who was very perceptive, noticed her thoughts and interrupted her without hesitation.

Zhang Rou'er had better not say such things.

If they don't reveal it, they can pretend they don't know each other's identities and maintain some relationship and contact.

Once the words are spoken, regardless of whether Ye Shaohong agrees or refuses, the relationship between the two of them will definitely change.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong emphasized these three simple words.

He also conveyed his attitude to Zhang Rou'er.

"Okay, I see."

"Since you don't want to listen, I won't talk to you about these things anymore. Thank you for today. If it weren't for you, I might have been in danger."

"By the way, I heard from my father that your Ye family has already moved to the mountain city?" "Are you so pessimistic about the current situation?"

With the sensitive topic behind them, the conversation between the two became much more relaxed. After intentionally avoiding certain topics, Ye Shaohong did not hide his views on the current situation from Zhang Rou'er.

He mentioned the current situation in North China and described the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese.

Then he made his own judgment.

Finally, he kindly reminded Zhang Rou'er that Fenghua is located in a key area of ​​the Yangtze River Delta business district, and it would inevitably suffer from the flames of war if war broke out in the future.

The best option for the Zhang family, like the Ye family, was to migrate as a clan before the war broke out.

As for where to migrate to, Ye Shaohong recommended the mountain city.

Whether Zhang Rou'er listens or not, and whether the head of the Zhang family is willing to accept his ideas, Ye Shaohong doesn't care.

He has fulfilled his obligations as a friend. "Okay."

“I’ve made a note of this. Once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll take leave and go back to Fenghua to tell my parents about it.”

"I hope they will heed your advice."

Before they knew it, their conversation had lasted for more than ten minutes. During this time, some people passed by the alley and saw them talking, but they looked very relaxed.

In addition, both of them are young.

The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was exquisitely beautiful.

In this way, no one will suspect them.

They were just seen as a couple having a secret rendezvous by the roadside, or as friends who happened to meet occasionally.

Naturally, no one would come to investigate or search for it.

Their encounter ended there, like a ripple on the path of life, remembered only by the two of them, and no one else paid any attention to it. In the end, Zhang Rou'er still left.

Ye Shaohong did not see her off. He stood at the entrance of the alley, watching Zhang Rou'er walk away, watching her figure gradually blend into the crowd, and finally disappear.

Only then did Ye Shaohong slowly walk out of the alley.

After glancing around and confirming that there were no acquaintances or suspicious-looking people nearby, Ye Shaohong entered the roadside restaurant.

Ye Shaohong casually ordered two home-style dishes and a small pot of wine. While eating and drinking, he recalled the scene and conversation between the two of them earlier.

Ye Shaohong finally confirmed that there were no mistakes or omissions, and he was relieved.

Ye Shaohong then thought of the suspect in the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Commission.

Ye Shaohong's face immediately darkened.

"This man is a cunning fellow." "In private, he's doing intelligence trading with Liu Fei, the chief of the Nancheng Police Station, while outwardly presenting himself as a patriot concerned about the people."

"I'm afraid this person has bigger ambitions than he thinks."

“I regret it a bit. I shouldn’t have handed this case over. If I had personally led the search and arrest operation, I might have been able to uncover more clues and extract more information from this person.”

"Now that the case has been transferred to Song Xiaoan, there's no way to get it back. Luckily, Zheng Yaoxian is keeping an eye on it, otherwise it would be a real problem."
