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

Chapter 174 Extorting Zheng Yaoxian

Ye Shaohong was not in a hurry.

He has plenty of time and can keep at it with Jiang Hongwei.

If Jiang Hongwei also wants to resist to the death like Dongfang Hui, Ye Shaohong wouldn't mind subjecting Jiang Hongwei to a full-blown torture session.

But is Jiang Hongwei really that formidable?

Apparently not.

Just as the two field agents inserted three bamboo needles into Jiang Hongwei's fingertips, Jiang Hongwei fainted.

A splash of cold water on his face woke him up. The first thing Jiang Hongwei did was shout and beg for mercy in anguish, "Don't... don't hit me anymore."

"I'll confess! I'll confess everything!"

Upon hearing these familiar words, Ye Shaohong nodded in satisfaction. He put down his enamel mug, tapped his finger lightly on the table, and the field clerk in charge of recording immediately picked up paper and pen.

"Go ahead."

"Your real name, age, place of origin, work unit, position, and the mission you are infiltrating Nanjing to carry out..."

As Ye Shaohong uttered those cold words, his eyes fell on Jiang Hongwei. His face was devoid of any emotion, as if he were recounting an ordinary little matter.

This scene caused Jiang Hongwei's heart to clench violently.

He first glanced at the two field agents, then, no longer daring to hide anything, he slowly revealed the truth.

“My name is Shangyuan Yaping, I am twenty-seven years old…” As Jiang Hongwei began to confess, Ye Shaohong picked up a document from the table next to him and took notes.

This document records Dongfang Hui's confession.

It contained detailed records of the names, code names, identities, and positions of the members of their intelligence team.

This information was already in Ye Shaohong's possession.

Whether Jiang Hongwei confesses or not doesn't really matter much, so Ye Shaohong isn't in a hurry and can keep at it with Jiang Hongwei.

The reason he tortured Jiang Hongwei to force him to confess was simply to obtain his confession.

With Jiang Hongwei's signed confession, combined with the content of Jiang Hongwei's previous confession, Ye Shaohong had sufficient reason to deal with those parasites who relied on their seniority and official position to try to oppress him.

"Wait, tell me your code name again!"

"Think it through before you speak. This is the last chance I'm giving you."

Upon hearing that Jiang Hongwei's confession differed from Dongfang Hui's testimony, Ye Shaohong immediately raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Hongwei.

"A cloth bag!"

"My code name is Cloth Bag."

Interrupted by Ye Shaohong, Jiang Hongwei panicked. In his confession just now, he had secretly played another little trick.

He deliberately used vague language to misrepresent his code name.

The sole purpose was to test whether Ye Shaohong's previous words were true or not.

Was his identity betrayed?

Ye Shaohong's reaction confirmed his guess, and at the same time, it made his heart sink to the bottom.

Sure enough, none of these spies who have been lurking in enemy camps for years are simple-minded.

Even though he was being tortured and was ready to confess, he still harbored his own little schemes. Ye Shaohong's words at the crucial moment completely secured the victory.

After Ye Shaohong exposed his lie to his face and warned him, Jiang Hongwei no longer dared to hide anything, nor did he dare to play any tricks.

The content of the subsequent confession is completely consistent with the content of Dongfang Hui's confession.

After Jiang Hongwei finished his confession, Ye Shaohong made him sign and fingerprint the confession record. Finally, he took out a camera and made Jiang Hongwei hold the confession record, leaving behind evidence.

After doing all this, Ye Shaohong nodded in satisfaction.

"Take him away."

"Find a doctor to take a look at him, so he doesn't get infected and die. This guy is still of some use to me."

After giving a brief instruction, Ye Shaohong didn't look at Jiang Hongwei, or rather, the Japanese spy Yuan Yaping, again. He took the two confessions he had just obtained and went straight out of the underground cell.

They arrived at Zheng Yaoxian's office.

After knocking on the door, Ye Shaohong stepped inside and, coincidentally, saw Zheng Yaoxian hiding something in a drawer.

Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow, a smile flashing in his eyes, and hurriedly walked over.

"Zheng Ke, what are you hiding?"

"Could it be that you saw me and now you want to eat it all by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yaoxian froze, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"You, how come your eyes are so sharp?"

"Here you go!"

After letting out a seemingly dejected sigh, Zheng Yaoxian tossed a dark red iron cigarette case into Ye Shaohong's hand.

"David Du's father?"

"This brand of cigarettes is quite rare. Zheng Ke is indeed Zheng Ke; he can even get his hands on such high-end goods."

Without any hesitation, Ye Shaohong kicked the unopened iron cigarette box into his pocket, but he didn't stop walking towards Zheng Yaoxian's desk.

"Hey, I've already given you everything, why are you coming over here again?"

"I finally managed to get my hands on some good stuff, and before I could even enjoy it myself, you've already set your sights on it."

As Zheng Yaoxian shouted, he hurriedly closed the cabinet next to him. To prevent Ye Shaohong from making a mess of things, he even moved his stool and blocked the drawer with his body.

"Zheng Ke, you're not being fair."

"If you just casually toss me a bucket of unopened Davidoff, it only means you have better stock on hand." "How about this, I won't ask for more, just give me a couple more boxes to try."

Ye Shaohong was very fast. Even though Zheng Yaoxian's response was swift enough, when Ye Shaohong arrived, he could still vaguely see some packaging marks at the drawer opening that was about to close.

"Camels, three or five?"

"I knew it, you were definitely hiding something from me."

Faced with such a difficult Ye Shaohong, Zheng Yaoxian was also driven to despair. He glared at Ye Shaohong in annoyance before reluctantly reopening the drawer, taking out two more boxes of Camel cigarettes, and tossing one box of 555 cigarettes into Ye Shaohong's hand.

"This is the last time, kid. You're clearly from a wealthy family and have plenty of money, yet you keep coming here to freeload."

“If things continue like this, I will stop taking good things to the office, just like Director Xu.”

Ye Shaohong had heard Zheng Yaoxian say this several times before, but he had never succeeded. So Ye Shaohong didn't care. He happily looked through the several packs of imported cigarettes in his hand, and then, in front of Zheng Yaoxian, stuffed them all into his pocket.

Only then did Ye Shaohong place the transcript of the confession in his hand in front of Zheng Yaoxian.

"Zheng Ke, don't say I don't care about you, little brother."

"Take a close look at these two statements. With them, will you ever have to worry about cigarettes and fine wine again?"

"That means you can have as much as you want!"
