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

Chapter Nineteen: Zheng Yaoxian's Difficulties

After Ye Shaohong finished speaking, the interrogation room fell silent.

Everyone, including Zhao Jianzhi, was recalling and pondering the answer he had given.

Some people are considering the feasibility of this matter, while others want to find flaws and loopholes to criticize Ye Shaohong.

The result is the same.

Ye Shaohong's answer represents the best he has achieved so far.

It's not that it's beyond redemption, but it's not far off.

During this time, Ye Shaohong was also secretly observing Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian. Seeing the changes in Xu Baichuan's expression, which seemed both worried and happy, Ye Shaohong knew that his plan had succeeded this time.

When he shifted his gaze to Zheng Yaoxian and saw the slight smile on Zheng Yaoxian's lips, Ye Shaohong's heart skipped a beat again.

What did he see on Zheng Yaoxian's face?

Praise and encouragement.

The only thing missing was amazement and astonishment.

This shows what?

Could it be that Zheng Yaoxian had already taken the lead and devised a countermeasure?

Ye Shaohong was somewhat puzzled. He was unwilling to believe the result, and even more unwilling to face this reality.

However, he soon regained his composure.

Ye Shaohong had already figured out the reason and roughly guessed Zheng Yaoxian's arrangements. That's right, Zheng Yaoxian did not personally participate in Yano Seihei's interrogation.

He also didn't know Zhao Xiufen's true identity.

But he's smart.

He should have already been considering the reasons why Zhao Xiufen did this when he confirmed that Zhao Xiufen was the real culprit in the massacre of the Ma family.

The pursuit at St. Mary's Church Hospital, and the desperate assassination attempt by Yano Seihei and Higashisugi Minako, led Zheng Yaoxian to speculate on Zhao Xiufen's true identity.

In this situation, he would definitely arrange for someone to interrogate Zhao Xiufang.

Even if the two interrogators focused on different points, the final result would be the same.

Simply put, they are different paths leading to the same goal.

Therefore, Zheng Yaoxian's face showed only admiration and encouragement, not surprise or astonishment. His silence was, in turn, a form of support for Ye Shaohong.

He deliberately concealed his brilliance, handing the opportunity to shine to Ye Shaohong, while also making Ye Shaohong accept a favor from him.

It truly lives up to its name as a kite.

This keen intuition and strategic vision earned Ye Shaohong's inward admiration.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong immediately smiled and smiled at Zheng Yaoxian.

This unspoken understanding says it all.

Just then, Xu Baichuan, who had been silently pondering, raised his head. He first glanced at Ye Shaohong with satisfaction, and then turned to look at Zheng Yaoxian.

"Yaoxian, I just thought it over carefully and confirmed that Ye Shaohong's plan should be fine."

"That Zhao Xiu... no, I mean Matsumoto Ryoko, did you arrange for someone to interrogate her?" "What's the result now?"

Although Xu Baichuan was clearly inferior to Zheng Yaoxian, the difference was not significant. He quickly seized on the topic that Ye Shaohong had deliberately left for him to discuss.

And in response, they revealed their attitude.

"We've already arranged for someone to interrogate him."

"Song Xiao'an is in charge of this work!"

Zheng Yaoxian smiled and gave the answer directly.

"I'll do it!"

"Team Leader Zheng has some good methods. Judging from Matsumoto Ryoko's style of doing things, she is definitely a rare die-hard and not someone to be trifled with."

"Looking at the current Special Operations Section, apart from Zheng Yaoxian personally taking action, perhaps only the hypocritical Song Xiaoan can confront Matsumoto Ryoko head-on."

"This is definitely going to be a fierce battle, I really want to see it."

Ye Shaohong's mind raced, and he quickly understood the reasons and events involved. A smile slowly crept onto his lips.

Xu Baichuan, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"very good!"

"I trust Xiao'an to handle this."

"Immediately arrange for someone to compile the case details and send them to my office. After I have carefully reviewed them, if there are no problems, I will meet with you tonight."

"The Director has been in a bad mood lately because of the relationship between the Party Affairs Investigation Department and Xu Kejun. We're giving him this big gift today, which should cheer him up."

"Perhaps you and I, brothers, can even make a small fortune along the way!"

Xu Baichuan laughed loudly and casually recounted several matters that concerned the core secrets of the Special Service Department.

He hadn't hidden any of this from Ye Shaohong. Clearly, he already considered him family.

"Good thing!"

"Then I'll be eagerly awaiting the team leader's good news."

Zheng Yaoxian casually complimented Xu Baichuan a few more times, and the two chatted happily. Soon after, Xu Baihuan took Yano Seihei's statement and left.

Watching his figure gradually recede into the distance and eventually disappear from sight, Ye Shaohong finally walked to Zheng Yaoxian's side.

"Senior, is Team Leader Xu also a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy?"

This question had been on Ye Shaohong's mind for a long time. As early as when Xu Baichuan called him his junior, Ye Shaohong had already secretly kept this in mind.

Now that Xu Baichuan has left, Ye Shaohong immediately asked him questions.

"Yes." "Team Leader Xu was a student in the fourth class of the infantry department of the Whampoa Military Academy. In terms of the time he joined the army, he is indeed our senior."

Xu Baichuan's military service record wasn't exactly a secret within the Special Service Department, so Zheng Yaoxian didn't hide it from Ye Shaohong and told him directly.

Although Zheng Yaoxian's response was only a few simple words, it cleared up many of Ye Shaohong's doubts.

He finally understood why Xu Baichuan was ranked above Zheng Yaoxian.

While his social skills were one factor, an even more important reason was Xu Baichuan's extensive experience. As a graduate of the fourth class of the Whampoa Military Academy, he had also personally participated in the Northern Expedition. His network of connections within the Nationalist army was unimaginable.

He far surpasses Zheng Yaoxian, a graduate of the sixth class of the Whampoa Military Academy.

It was precisely because of this qualification that Xu Baichuan became the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Action Department, a terrifying figure whose power and influence were enough to rank him among the top ten. Ye Shaohong was pondering his memories of his past life when the interrogation room door was pushed open again.

Then Song Xiaoan, wearing a white shirt and fiddling with Buddhist prayer beads, walked in.

"Oh, Brother Shao Hong is here too."

"Team leader, I'm not done yet. Zhao Xiufen has confessed everything."

As Ye Shaohong had just predicted, with the seemingly benevolent but actually malevolent Song Xiaoan personally intervening, even Zhao Xiufen's stubbornness couldn't hold out until the end.

I decided to just confess honestly.

"Oh, that's pretty fast."

"Did you bring the statement? Let me see it."

Zheng Yaoxian smiled with satisfaction. He casually took the transcript of the statement from Song Xiaoan and began to read it carefully.

Soon after, Zheng Yaoxian raised an eyebrow. He held Zhao Xiufen's confession in his hand and paced back and forth in the interrogation room, as if he had encountered some difficult problem to solve.

Finally, he turned his attention back to Ye Shaohong.

"Shao Hong, you should take a look too."

“Matsumoto Ryoko’s statement contains a lot of information. If we want to find the big fish among these people in a short time, I’m afraid we’ll need you to plan and strategize.”

It's clear that Zheng Yaoxian is in trouble.

Even with his intelligence, he couldn't come up with a good solution in a short time.

What about Ye Shaohong?
