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

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Preparations Before the Massive Manhunt

Ye Shaohong was still secretly making vows when the interrogation inside the room was declared over.

The leader of the Spring Rain team, codenamed "Thunderclap," has recounted everything he knows.

This includes other members of his Spring Rain Group who have not yet been revealed.

Furthermore, in recent years, when they were stealing intelligence from the Nationalist government, not a single traitor or lackey who had openly or secretly helped them remained hidden.

After finally reviewing the list, even with their shrewdness and cunning, Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"This is a huge problem!"

"Team leader, what do we do?" Zheng Yaoxian asked, circling the names in the confession with his pen as he frowned and looked at Xu Baichuan.

His current status is still too low.

Faced with this list of dozens of people, Zheng Yaoxian dared not make a decision lightly.

"It's past three o'clock!"

"There are still three hours until dawn at most. Let's wait until the Chief wakes up and then ask him about this matter."

Xu Baichuan's military rank was higher than Zheng Yaoxian's, and he was also Dai Yunong's senior from the Whampoa Military Academy. Logically, he should have been able to make the decision directly, but Xu Baichuan was shrewd.

He was unwilling to take any risks, no matter how small.

So after a brief moment of consideration, he chose the safest option.

"You can make the decision!"

"However, this matter is too far-reaching. Even if we cannot take action for the time being, we still need to take some precautions to prevent the possibility of the information being leaked."

"Alright, those who participated in the interrogation today will be temporarily isolated."

"During this period, whether it is sleeping, eating, or going to the toilet, you must ask for permission and report. You cannot act alone."

"The telephone exchange room must also be monitored and guarded. The entire guard platoon will be mobilized to strictly guard the main traffic routes around the station. Before the Chief makes a decision, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Special Service Operations Section's station. If anyone dares to disobey orders, they can be shot dead on the spot!"

As Zheng Yaoxian recounted these orders, an unusual solemnity appeared on his face. He also cast a stern glance at Ye Shaohong, Song Xiaoan, and Zhao Jianzhi.

The warning is self-evident.

"it is good!"

"Yaoxian, your arrangement is very appropriate. Let me add one more thing."

"No one in the interrogation room should act alone today. After leaving the interrogation room, we will all go to the main conference room and rest there."

"We'll make a decision after dawn!"

Compared to Zheng Yaoxian, Xu Baichuan's approach was much more ruthless. He made it clear that he did not trust the people in front of him and wanted to keep everyone under his control.

This approach is very uncomfortable, but no one can find fault with it.

no way.

When Xu Baichuan made this arrangement, he also included himself in it. By setting an example, and given that their military ranks and positions were one level lower, they had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I have no objection!"

"Let's escort Yoshizawa Koji back to his solitary cell together first, and then we'll go back to the office building together." And so, the five of them began their operation, never separating for a moment, until they returned to the office building and entered the main conference room, where their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

There's not much to say about the process of getting some rest.

It was only when he was undressing to go to sleep that Zheng Yaoxian noticed that there were traces of blood seeping out of the remaining wound on Ye Shaohong's chest.

Concerned about Ye Shaohong's health, he consulted Xu Baichuan and then called the on-site doctor of the Operations Department to retrieve a vial of sulfonamide and inject it into Ye Shaohong.

This special care deeply moved Ye Shaohong.

But he didn't say much.

I simply kept this kindness in my heart.

Silent all night.

Dawn broke quickly, and as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, Xu Baichuan, who hadn't slept all night, immediately stood up. "It's daylight!"

"Yaoxian, get ready and come with me to call the section chief. We're going to be busy today."

Xu Baichuan spoke solemnly, but Zheng Yaoxian wore a smile.

"What does being busy matter!"

"If I could catch a few Japanese spies every day, I would rather be busy all the time."

The two chatted and laughed, and after putting on their military uniforms, they woke up Ye Shaohong, Song Xiaoan, and Zhao Jianzhi before leaving the conference room together.

About ten minutes later, an operations officer from the operations department came in.

He informed Ye Shaohong and the other two that the team leader had already reported the situation to the section chief and asked them to go to Team Leader Xu's office immediately to receive their mission.

Without delay, Ye Shaohong and the other two rushed over. When they opened the door and went inside, Ye Shaohong was surprised to find that Xu Baichuan's office was not just occupied by him and Zheng Yaoxian.

There were also three strangers standing there: two men and one woman.

"Everyone is here?"

"Alright, then I'll give the order directly."

"I have just reported the details of the case to the director and told him about the findings of the interrogation. The director has given clear instructions that no matter who is involved in this case or what kind of relationship or background they have, we do not need to pay attention to them."

"We will take direct action to arrest people without letting anyone go. If anyone disobeys our orders during the arrest, we can shoot and kill them without asking for permission."

Xu Baichuan stood behind his desk, his eyes sharp and piercing, sweeping across everyone's faces. His words were cold and devoid of any human emotion.

"Yes, sir!" "I will obey your orders!"

The crowd roared in unison. Although the other three were not directly involved in the case, they had learned some information from some of the team members.

They're so jealous!

Now that he had the opportunity to participate personally and also share in the credit, he didn't hesitate and immediately accepted.

Although Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi were somewhat unhappy, it was an order personally issued by the Director and an arrangement made by Xu Baichuan, so they could not stand up and refuse.

As for Ye Shaohong, he hasn't officially joined the company yet, so he doesn't care about the infighting in the Action Section.

After a brief mobilization order, Xu Baichuan took out pre-sealed file folders from his drawer and handed them to everyone.

When passing Ye Shaohong, Xu Baichuan stopped to look at the faint wound on Ye Shaohong's chest and asked him a question with feigned concern.

"Good job, junior."

"You're still fighting despite minor injuries. Your performance today has truly impressed me. You haven't disgraced the Huangpu Military Academy."

"I heard you just lost a lot of money?"

"That's all the money you worked so hard to save, right? Don't be upset or feel bad. Seize this opportunity, and you should be able to make it back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Baichuan patted Ye Shaohong on the shoulder.

The deeper meaning is self-evident.

Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately brightened.
