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

Chapter 167 Old Versailles

The moment Ye Shaohong saw Song Xiaoan, he immediately had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving.

He also put it into action.

After entering the room and exchanging greetings with Zheng Yaoxian and Song Xiaoan, Ye Shaohong immediately turned around and reached for the doorknob.

At the same time, he didn't forget to casually throw out a few words.

"Brother Xiao'an is here too! You guys go ahead with your work, I'll come back later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong had already stepped one foot out of the room, and it looked like he was about to leave.

Just then, Zheng Yaoxian spoke up.

"Come back!" Although Ye Shaohong usually seems very relaxed in front of Zheng Yaoxian, and they get along almost like friends, Ye Shaohong would occasionally come to Zheng Yaoxian's place to ask for favors.

But when it came to serious matters, Ye Shaohong dared not act recklessly.

Just like it is now.

Although Zheng Yaoxian only said two simple words, Ye Shaohong still sensed an undeniable meaning in them.

He could only manage an awkward smile.

Like a child caught stealing candy, he slowly withdrew his foot.

"Section Chief Zheng, what are you doing?"

"I just remembered that there are some omissions in the documents I have here. I'd like to go back and supplement and correct them before sending them to you."

Ye Shaohong was embarrassed. It was nothing unusual for him to have a private bet with Song Xiaoan and use some underhanded tactics behind the scenes.

Given their relationship, it's unlikely they would fight or quarrel over this.

But when you're scheming against someone and get caught red-handed, things change. Even if Ye Shaohong has a thick skin, he might not be able to handle it.

not to mention.

Song Xiaoan wasn't stupid either. The change in his emotions the moment Ye Shaohong entered the door already revealed a lot.

Ye Shaohong simply didn't want to join in the fun.

"Cut the nonsense."

"What are you up to? Do you think you can hide it from me?"

"Did you wipe out the assassination squad and come to deliver the case report?" "Let me see it."

Well, Ye Shaohong considered himself to be quite cunning, but compared to Zheng Yaoxian, he was still somewhat lacking.

Old bitch.

Absolutely a cunning old fox.

Upon hearing Zheng Yaoxian's words, Song Xiaoan's face showed a look of realization.

Just as Ye Shaohong had expected, Song Xiaoan did not show any sign of embarrassment or anger towards him; instead, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Okay!"

"Shao Hong, I knew something was wrong. It turns out you've been plotting against me from the very beginning."

“Just now downstairs, I stopped Li Yunlong and asked him about the assassination squad’s case. He told me that the case was basically closed. The people arrested today were just finishing up.”

“I had a bad feeling at the time, that I was being tricked by you, but I was still a little unwilling to believe it. Now it’s clear that I’ve definitely done it.”

While fiddling with his prayer beads, Song Xiaoan pointed at Ye Shaohong, practically ready to unleash a torrent of curses.

"Brother Xiao'an, you've wronged me!"

“That’s right, the case of the Japanese spy assassination squad is indeed nearing its end, but isn’t the case you have the same?”

"Don't deny it!"

“That’s right, I don’t know how your case is progressing, but I do know one thing.”

“Ever since the Red Party’s leak case was handed over to you, you have never arrested a single person. The arrests have started today, which means you must have already secured victory.”

"Our cases are progressing at the same pace, how could I possibly have the opportunity to scheme against you?" Regardless of what he was really thinking, on the surface, Ye Shaohong's main characteristic was his thick skin.

They resolutely deny it.

As long as Ye Shaohong doesn't budge, Song Xiaoan can't do anything about it.

Moreover, Ye Shaohong hadn't even settled accounts with Song Xiaoan yet, but because of Song Xiaoan's slip of the tongue, he was ripped off by Zheng Yaoxian.

Big brother, don't laugh at second brother. Actually, they're the same.

Um…….

Same as above.

"Alright, alright."

"It's just a bet over a meal. If you two don't want to honor it, I'll just treat you to this meal."

"Bring me the case closure report right now so I can take a look."

Zheng Yaoxian's position was slightly higher than Ye Shaohong's and Song Xiaoan's, and he was their former superior, so he certainly had the right to say that.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong and Song Xiaoan immediately looked at each other.

Then they both laughed at the same time.

"Okay, it's settled then. Section Chief Zheng will cook for us personally, and I'll bring some cured meat and sausages, as well as some fine wine."

Ye Shaohong relaxed completely and no longer felt embarrassed. He shamelessly stepped forward and immediately settled the matter.

"I haven't cooked in a long time either."

"Since Section Chief Zheng has spoken, I'll show off my skills too. Shao Hong wanted to eat Hunan-style braised pork, so this time I'll let you eat your fill before you go back."

This is the tacit understanding between Ye Shaohong and Song Xiaoan.

The moment the two finished speaking, Zheng Yaoxian was stunned.

"What do you mean?" "You guys are really going to cheat together?"

"So, after all this, you're trying to blackmail me?"

Zheng Yaoxian was very clever; he could almost instantly see through Ye Shaohong and Song Xiaoan's thoughts with just a glance. However, he was not angry; he simply smiled and teased Ye Shaohong and Song Xiaoan.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong walked to the desk and handed over the case report in front of Song Xiaoan.

"Wow, that's quite an achievement!"

"The four action teams that were lurking in Jinling City—Feng Lei, Jing Lei, Asada, and Qian He—have all been uncovered and eliminated by you using various methods in just a few days."

"More than thirty people were captured or killed in total?"

"The radio and codebook are all destroyed. What a pity. The mission was not completed. Otherwise, this operation would have been perfect."

Ye Shaohong's case closure report was not long, only about three thousand words in total, so Zheng Yaoxian did not spend much time reading it. He was mainly focused on the specific data in the case closure report.

Overall, this can definitely be considered the first major case cracked since the establishment of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics.

Zheng Yaoxian's astonishment was inevitable.

Song Xiaoan, who was standing to the side, probably knew some of the news, but when he heard the specific details, he couldn't help but secretly gasp in astonishment.

"Shao Hong, you're amazing."

"No wonder people in the department are already calling you a detective behind your back. You really do have the skills of a detective."

The two men's praises sounded much better to Ye Shaohong than Li Yunlong's flattery, and he was very pleased with himself.

On the surface, Ye Shaohong still had to be humble and cautious.

It is said that this is all thanks to the effective leadership of Director Xu and Section Chief Zheng, and the hard work of their subordinates. He only played a role in connecting the higher-ups and the lower-level staff.

There's nothing particularly praiseworthy about him. He needs to continue working hard, upholding the spirit of hard work and staying true to his original aspirations; only in this way can he achieve new successes.

Zheng Yaoxian listened with a beaming smile.

Song Xiaoan, on the other hand, was frustrated again. Ye Shaohong's words were all correct, but why did they sound so awkward to him? It sounded like something out of an old Versailles movie!
