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

Chapter 179 Warm Fragrance and Soft Jade

Having figured out the whole story, Ye Shaohong shook his head and smiled.

He wasn't discouraged at all; on the contrary, he found it very interesting and challenging.

Ye Shaohong already knew that Dai Yunong was not to be underestimated.

If Dai Yunong were a simple person, how could he have developed the Military Intelligence Bureau into the number one intelligence organization in East Asia in just over a decade?

How could he possibly have tens of thousands of agents and indirectly control an army of over 200,000 at the end of the War of Resistance?

It's even less likely that he would have aroused the Chairman's suspicion by privately forming cliques, ultimately leading to his death by crashing into a mountain.

Dai Yunong can definitely be considered a ruthless and powerful figure. In Ye Shaohong's view, it was perfectly normal for him to subtly manipulate and exploit people.

These are real, flesh-and-blood historical heroes.

"The groundwork has been laid; now it's time to draw our swords."

In a flash, Ye Shaohong could roughly predict what would happen next. After thinking for a moment, he immediately turned around and went to the clothes rack to change his clothes.

In these turbulent times, the Bureau of Survey and Statistics is hardly a safe place.

How powerful are the Chen brothers?

The Chiang, Soong, Kung, and Chen families were one of the four major families in the Republic of China. Although the two brothers were ranked last among the four families, they were not simple figures.

Moreover, the two Chens have a large following behind them.

At that time, the CC Clique's influence had not yet infiltrated the military, but the Republic of China's intelligence system was created by the two brothers.

Dai Yunong, the king of spies who became famous in later generations, was just a follower of them.

Dai Yunong's attempt to undermine the CC Clique's middle ground, the Postal and Telecommunications Investigation Bureau, and to dig up the foundation of the Chen Shuang CC Clique, even if it gained approval from the Chairman, would inevitably trigger a series of bloody struggles.

Many people will die as well.

Ye Shaohong got involved, but couldn't gain any tangible benefits, so of course he wasn't willing to join in the fun.

"A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall; get out of here! Get out of here!"

"Damn it, I'm taking the day off tomorrow."

"Whoever wants to join in the fun, let them. I'm just wasting my life."

After taking off his military uniform and changing into his civilian clothes, Ye Shaohong went to his desk, picked up a piece of paper, and quickly wrote down two requests for instruction. Then he took the two requests and left the office.

First, he knocked on Xu Baichuan's office door. No one was inside, so there was no response. Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow, a slight smile appearing on his lips. He picked up a letter of inquiry and slipped it through the crack in the door.

Then he went to Zheng Yaoxian's office and, in the same manner, slipped another request note inside.

From beginning to end, he never considered contacting his two trusted subordinates, Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan.

Since the contact information has been disclosed, it is necessary to leave a trace.

Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian are both intelligent people, and very intelligent at that. Ye Shaohong does not want them to discover any clues because of a little carelessness.

After doing all this, he left Honggongci Villa No. 1 with minimal luggage.

He hadn't gone far, and before he could even find a rickshaw, Ye Shaohong saw Zhuang Yifan leading his action team back from afar.

Their convoy also contained a number of suspects who were tied up and abducted.

Ye Shaohong, hiding in the crowd, quickly counted there were about twenty people.

To his surprise, three of the field agents led by Zhuang Yifan were injured.

Did they encounter resistance during the arrest?

How audacious!

He was indeed keen to find out which madman dared to rebel against the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation in Jinling City, but when he thought about the unrest that the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation would cause in the next few days, Ye Shaohong gave up.

"Forget it, forget it. He's going against the Bureau of Statistics and Survey, not against me, Ye Shaohong. Why should I meddle in his business?"

"Isn't she more appealing to you, with her cheongsam and black stockings at home?"

"Why did I have to smell the blood in the interrogation room...?" Just thinking about what happened two days ago made Ye Shaohong feel a surge of restlessness in his heart, a raging fire that made it hard for him to breathe.

Naturally, they were even less willing to stay outside.

Once Zhuang Yifan's convoy had driven away, Ye Shaohong immediately left Hong Gong Temple, hailed a rickshaw, got in, and called out.

"Menghan Pastries!"

That's right, Ye Shaohong didn't plan to go home immediately. He planned to go to this Western restaurant first to buy some cakes for Yu Manli to take back with him.

Given his personality, he wouldn't do those romantic things.

But you should still care about your own woman.

As far as Ye Shaohong knew, Yu Manli really liked the pastries at this Western restaurant. When Ma Bo and the others went shopping together before, Yu Manli even took him in for a stroll.

However, the shop was too far from their rented courtyard, so even though Yu Manli liked it very much, she didn't go there often. Today, Ye Shaohong had some rare free time and wanted to go home and embrace her, so he deliberately took a detour.

After buying a few chocolates and cream cakes at Menghan Pastry Shop, Ye Shaohong stopped wandering around and went straight back to the small courtyard where he rented a house.

As I stepped into the house, I was greeted by a faint fragrance.

There's no need to guess or think; Yu Manli is definitely preparing dinner, and perhaps she's sitting in the dining room right now, waiting for him to come back.

Thinking of his beloved waiting for his return, Ye Shaohong could no longer wait. He took the cake box and went into the room.

Just as he expected, the restaurant table was already set with food, all covered with large porcelain bowls to keep them warm, while Yu Manli was sitting at the table reading a newspaper.

Today she wore a bright red cheongsam with peony flowers, and her hair was styled in a bun.

Her legs were raised, and the outline of black stockings was faintly visible.

Her slender and exquisite figure made Ye Shaohong's heart itch. He slowed down and walked behind Yu Manli. When Yu Manli did not notice his return at all, he raised his hand and gently placed the pastry box on the table.

"ah!"

"You're back?"

"Cakes from Menghan Pastry Shop?"

How did you know I wanted to eat cake today?

Perhaps it was because Ye Shaohong returned early today, or perhaps Ye Shaohong gave her a surprise, but Yu Manli seemed quite lively.

A smile instantly appeared on her pretty face.

"Of course I miss you."

Ye Shaohong wanted to let loose today, so he stopped pretending to be aloof and profound. He hugged Yu Manli's slender waist from behind and pressed his face against her neck and behind her ear.

As Yu Manli let out a soft moan, her cheeks flushed, and just as she was about to speak, Ye Shaohong quietly added another sentence.

"I want to eat you..."
