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

Chapter Twenty: Revenge Never Waits

Zheng Yaoxian's words piqued Ye Shaohong's curiosity.

He took the statement from Zheng Yaoxian's hand, glanced at it briefly, and a troubled look appeared on his face.

"What a cunning and treacherous old fox!"

"Given Matsumoto Ryoko's status and position, how could she not know his true identity and only be able to vaguely determine the approximate area where he was hiding?"

"Brother Xiao'an, can you be sure that Matsumoto Ryoko isn't lying?"

This result was hard for Ye Shaohong to accept. He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Don't worry." "I've never made a mistake in the confessions I've personally obtained."

Song Xiaoan twirled the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand. Faced with Ye Shaohong's questioning, he showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he patiently explained to Ye Shaohong.

Upon hearing his response, Ye Shaohong turned to look at Zheng Yaoxian again.

Seeing that he had no intention of refuting it.

Ye Shaohong finally accepted Song Xiaoan's explanation.

"If that's the case, then things are going to get complicated. According to Matsumoto Ryoko's confession, during the years she was undercover in Nanjing, she met the leader of the Spring Rain Group a few times because of her work."

“But each time we met, the other person’s figure and appearance were different.”

"She suspects that she has disguised herself and changed her clothes."

"She had tried to secretly follow and investigate him to uncover the mystery of his identity, but she not only failed but was also discovered by him and received a severe reprimand."

"This guy is a cunning old fox; we underestimated him."

After a sigh, Ye Shaohong temporarily suppressed his thoughts and patiently began reading the rest of the confession.

Only then did he understand the truth behind the massacre of Ma Tao's entire family.

It was pretty much as he had guessed.

The tragic deaths of Ma Tao's family were indeed related to the mysterious leader of the Spring Rain Group.

He personally gave the order for Matsumoto Ryoko to take action.

As for the reason for taking action, Matsumoto Ryoko pressed for details, but was firmly rejected by the other party on the grounds of military secrecy.

Despite her reluctance, Matsumoto Ryoko carried out the order under strict hierarchical command.

However, Matsumoto Ryoko was also cunning. She knew that Ma Tao's identity was special, and if his entire family were to be massacred for no reason, it would definitely attract the attention of the intelligence agency.

So she found herself a scapegoat.

This scapegoat is none other than someone else.

It was Ye Shaohong.

Matsumoto Ryoko made this choice because Ma Tao had told her that Ye Shaohong had a fierce argument and conflict with her at the military academy.

This was originally a trivial matter, and Matsumoto Ryoko didn't take it to heart.

I just listened to it then and moved on.

Matsumoto Ryoko even gently comforted Ma Tao, telling him not to take the matter to heart.

But when the time came, she suddenly remembered.

Later, after making some inquiries, I learned that many people at the Central Military Academy had either witnessed or heard about the argument and fight between Ma Tao and Ye Shaohong.

The conflict between the two had reached a point where it was almost irreconcilable.

Isn't this the perfect scapegoat?

So Matsumoto Ryoko arranged for two thugs to secretly follow and monitor Ye Shaohong's whereabouts. Last night, she learned that Ye Shaohong had left school to have dinner with his classmates, and Matsumoto Ryoko realized that the opportunity she had been waiting for had arrived.

This led to Ye Shaohong being unjustly arrested and interrogated by the Special Service Department because of a simple act of urination.

"What a wicked woman!"

"I have never provoked her, nor have I ever had any grudge against her. Just because I had a small conflict with Ma Tao, she secretly plotted to frame me!"

"They're pushing me to my death."

“I’m not done with her yet, Brother Xiao’an. She’s not dead yet, is she?” “If she’s still alive, please keep an eye on her for me. On the day she’s sent to the execution ground, I’ll personally send her on her way.”

With his name cleared, Ye Shaohong originally thought he would be overjoyed.

It turned out not to be.

His heart still burned with anger and hatred.

It was as if a huge boulder was still pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"no big deal!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll make sure she lives."

"During this time, I will also use some methods to make her life less comfortable!"

The charlatan Song Xiaoan, with a heart of a devil, merely rolled his eyes and immediately came up with an idea. He made a guarantee to Ye Shaohong without hesitation.

"Thank you very much, Brother Xiao'an." With this, the feud between Ye Shaohong and Zhao Xiufen can be considered to have come to a temporary end.

The next issue to address is the leader of the Spring Rain team.

This person is meticulous, cunning as a fox, and ruthless. Finding him in a crowd is no easy task.

But it's not impossible.

As Matsumoto Ryoko has already stated in her testimony, she once followed the leader of the Spring Rain Group.

Although she ultimately came up empty-handed, she had narrowed down the general area.

This gave Ye Shaohong the opportunity to solve the case.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"I've got an idea!" "Oh?"

"So fast?"

"Tell me quickly."

Zheng Yaoxian watched from the side the whole time, and even when Ye Shaohong and Song Xiaoan briefly strayed from the topic, he did not say anything to stop them.

She just didn't want to interrupt Ye Shaohong's train of thought.

It seems to be working pretty well now.

"Don't be in such a hurry, team leader."

"Before I share my thoughts, I have a question for you."

Although he already had a plan that seemed foolproof, Ye Shaohong didn't dare to be too presumptuous or smug in front of Zheng Yaoxian. So, to be on the safe side, he slowly revealed his thoughts.

"you say!"

"Team leader, you've read the statements of Yano Seihei and Matsumoto Ryoko. Based on their statements, what kind of person do you think the leader of the Harusame team is?"

"what kind of person?"

"Cunning, ruthless, suspicious, and fickle, this person is definitely a difficult character to deal with."

Zheng Yaoxian frowned. Although he couldn't quite figure out Ye Shaohong's intentions yet, he still followed up on his words and slowly gave his evaluation.

"That's right!"

"He's a suspicious man!"

"Team leader, have you ever considered what someone with his personality might do after finding out he's being followed and investigated by his subordinates?"

Ye Shaohong guided him slowly, but never made a final judgment.

"Is there even a question?" "His first thought will definitely be anger, then he'll teach that insolent person a lesson, and finally he'll move away from where he lives..."

"Wait, you mean he might choose to move out of caution?"
