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

Chapter 279 Late June and Early July

Based on the clues Ye Shaohong has obtained so far, the eldest grandmother is still highly suspicious.

Many things change when Grandma is involved.

such as.

The story told by Sun Yihai and Monk Yuanhui: What happened on the night Sun Yihui died.

There are two different versions of the two different stories about the eldest grandmother.

And the scheming and manipulative tactics that the eldest grandmother displayed today.

These are not the abilities of ordinary women living in seclusion.

In addition to what Wei Xiuyuan just recounted, Sun Yihui had mentioned the Japanese spies of the Seventh Army to his grandmother on the day he died.

These seemingly disparate events all eventually became connected to the eldest grandmother.

Ye Shaohong didn't believe that his eldest grandmother had no problems, but he didn't know what role she played in these matters.

But it's okay.

Because of the death of the third concubine, he happened to catch Wei Xiuyuan, who was the eldest wife's biological brother.

He could get some information about the eldest grandmother from Wei Xiuyuan.

"Tell me about your sister."

"She loves you very much. You committed a serious murder, yet she still managed to protect you."

"I'm quite curious about her." After all, they are siblings by blood, and in order to find out the truth, Ye Shaohong couldn't directly express his suspicions about his grandmother.

He just asked the question casually.

Let's see if Wei Xiuyuan can bring him any surprises during this casual conversation.

"My sister?"

“From a very young age, my father often used my sister to discipline me.”

"They say I'm useless, not even as good as a girl."

"But what can I do? My sister has been smart since she was a child. She learns everything very quickly. She even studied in Japan. I'm just a playboy. How can I compare to her?"

Wei Xiuyuan was truly young and had never experienced the dangers of the world. He thought that once he confessed, Ye Shaohong would no longer make things difficult for him.

So he was almost completely unguarded and briefly told Ye Shaohong about his relationship with the eldest mistress. Little did Wei Xiuyuan know that even these few simple words would give Ye Shaohong some useful clues.

"Grandma also studied in Japan?"

"Haha, interesting!"

"This information is not in any of the documents I received."

"It seems that the intelligence gathering work of the Special Service is still somewhat inadequate."

This new discovery invigorated Ye Shaohong, but he was smart enough not to immediately inquire about it.

Instead, he picked up some ordinary little things and chatted with Wei Xiuyuan.

For example, whether the eldest grandmother loved and took care of him, and what her situation was in the Sun family after she married Wei Xiuyuan, and whether she helped her own family.

How did Wei Xiuyuan come to the Sun family?

These were not secrets, so Wei Xiuyuan didn't think much of it and answered them one by one.

Once Wei Xiuyuan had completely relaxed, Ye Shaohong casually inquired about his great-grandmother's experience studying in Japan.

"Isn't it in your file?"

"That's normal!"

"My eldest sister went to Japan to study, but she didn't finish her studies. She only studied in Japan for two years and then dropped out for some reason."

"After she came back, her father and mother asked her about it, but her eldest sister never mentioned it."

Wei Xiuyuan shook his head. He was also completely baffled by his family's experience and naturally couldn't give Ye Shaohong a satisfactory answer.

This left Ye Shaohong feeling very regretful.

The two chatted for a while longer, and only after confirming that they would not gain anything further did Ye Shaohong have Zhuang Yifan take Wei Xiuyuan away and hand him over to Captain Zhu.

Zhuang Yifan kept Ye Shaohong's orders in mind and clearly told Captain Zhu that Commissioner Ye had personally promised.

Wei Xiuyuan can be spared his life.

Captain Zhu, of course, would not refuse.

Ye Shaohong breathed a sigh of relief. He could also take advantage of the situation to get some benefits from the eldest madam, which was a considerable sum of money.

This news, delivered by Captain Zhu, quickly reached the ears of the eldest grandmother.

Ye Shaohong didn't care what his grandmother thought.

He made this arrangement partly because he had personally promised Wei Xiuyuan, and partly because he wanted to casually place a pawn to temporarily repair his relationship with his grandmother.

Perhaps we'll find something of value in it.

With the matter settled, Ye Shaohong took Yu Manli and Zhuang Yifan back to his temporary residence in the small courtyard. In the afternoon, Li Yunlong returned.

His face was grim, and he brought back bad news for Ye Shaohong.

On the night Sun Yihui died, the doctor who came to the Sun family to perform an autopsy was found, but unfortunately, the doctor had already met with misfortune.

When Li Yunlong arrived, two masked men in black were preparing to kill the doctor.

At the most dangerous moment, Li Yunlong fired a shot.

His shot hit one of the assassins in the shoulder.

The doctor's life was saved.

However, Li Yunlong arrived too late. Although he saved Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou still fell into a coma due to the severity of his injuries.

Judging from his injuries, he'll probably be out of sleep for another day or two. This is another piece of bad news.

This effectively cut off Ye Shaohong's pursuit of the truth behind Sun Yihui's death once again, but Ye Shaohong wasn't in a hurry.

He was already very happy to have saved Dr. Zhou from the brink of death.

It would only delay things by a few days, which Ye Shaohong could accept. It was just that the weather in Jiangcheng was really hot.

Although he didn't go out to do anything that day and enjoyed the cool tea in the pavilion, he still felt uncomfortable all over. His clothes, which he had worn all day, were almost sticking to his body.

However, these were not the things that truly troubled Ye Shaohong.

What truly troubled Ye Shaohong was that, as time passed, the time for that brutal battle, known as the "meat grinder of the East," was drawing ever closer.

Late June and early July.

In just over ten days, a fierce battle will break out in North China. In just a few days, the men of China will rise up in resistance, and the soldiers of the 29th Army will defend the last dignity of China with their blood and lives.

It left behind a story that is both moving and inspiring.

But behind these stories are countless lives lost.

Teenagers, newlywed husbands, and children with elderly mothers to care for—all ultimately fell victim to the guns and cannons of the Japanese pirates.

Even though Ye Shaohong already knew about this history and had watched movies and TV series about this event, and was mentally prepared, he still felt heavy-hearted when he thought about it now.

Incredibly complex.

When I was deeply moved, thinking of those unfamiliar faces almost brought me to tears.

He suddenly felt a little confused.

How much change has my time travel caused to this world?

He's just a person.

When he transmigrated and was reborn, he didn't bring with him that heaven-defying cheat ability, so he couldn't provide this world with epoch-making military weapons.

Ye Shaohong pondered deeply and then did something.

He wrote the book "Wolf and Dog".

He predicted the war between the two countries in advance and gave a warning to the top brass of the Nationalist government, but how much could he change?

Perhaps the upcoming war will provide him with an answer!
