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

Chapter 301 Raising a Big Flag and Using a Tiger's Skin

Jiangcheng was already quite prosperous during the Republic of China era.

The area encompasses three towns and boasts a population of over 1.2 million, making it the third largest city in China after Beijing and Shanghai.

In terms of economic strength alone, Wuhan is the second largest city after Shanghai.

It has long been known as "surpassing Tianjin and approaching Shanghai".

Even though Ye Shaohong's soul came from the future and he was already used to skyscrapers and reinforced concrete, he still had to admit that Jiangcheng in 1937 was not much different from that of later generations.

Let me give you a simple example.

Modern Jiangcheng, in terms of the number of skyscrapers and the bustling traffic, surpasses most county towns of later generations. Its unique geographical location makes it difficult to catch up, even with a century's difference.

Sitting in the car, Ye Shaohong looked at the lights of thousands of homes on both sides of the street and, unusually, fell into a reverie.

As he pondered and reflected, the vehicle carrying everyone slowly moved forward and entered the compound where the Special Service Department's Jiangcheng Station was located.

Before he even came down, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

That was Qian Tao, the head of the operations section at Jiangcheng Station.

He stood anxiously at the entrance of the office building, nervously looking in the direction of the compound gate.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong's vehicle arrive, Qian Tao rushed over before the car even stopped and proactively opened the car door for Ye Shaohong.

"Oh dear, Deputy Station Master Ye, are you alright?"

"Are you hurt?" "Those mad dogs from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, they went too far, they actually dared to shoot you, we absolutely cannot let them off this time."

Qian Tao's anxious demeanor surprised Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong was puzzled.

His relationship with Qian Tao wasn't that deep, so why would Qian Tao act this way?

Upon further reflection, Ye Shaohong understood.

Qian Tao did care about him, but upon closer examination, it wasn't much.

He must have received orders from He Mingxuan to wait for him here.

What Qian Tao said also told Ye Shaohong something else: he was still unaware that he had executed a member of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

What about He Mingxuan? As a local strongman in Jiangcheng, surely his intelligence channels wouldn't be so limited?

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong smiled.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"They're just some clowns, they can't hurt me. It's just that you, Section Chief Qian, are worried."

"By the way, where's the station manager? Is he in his office?"

Ye Shaohong wanted to confirm his suspicions, so he changed the subject and immediately asked the question that had been bothering him.

"The station manager called just over ten minutes ago, saying he would be here shortly."

"Judging by the time, it should be almost here."

As Qian Tao responded to Ye Shaohong, he turned and glanced at the direction of the gate, and then a smile returned to his face.

"What a coincidence." "We were just talking about the stationmaster when his car came in."

As Qian Tao finished speaking, a black Ford sedan drove in from the direction of the gate.

The car stopped, and He Mingxuan, the station chief of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department, got out.

He approached Ye Shaohong, looked him up and down, and then nodded.

"It's okay."

"Shao Hong, you've caused quite a stir this time. I haven't even arrived at Jiangcheng Station yet, and I've already heard several reports about it on the way."

"Let's go in and talk."

He Mingxuan's expression was slightly grave. He did not directly question Ye Shaohong in front of everyone.

Instead, he even asked a slightly concerned question to confirm it.

Then he revealed his purpose. "Perfect timing, I also have something I want to report to the stationmaster, let's go together then."

After slipping down, Ye Shaohong turned to look at Yu Manli, Zhuang Yifan, and Yu Xiaowan, nodded slightly, and then followed He Mingxuan into the office building.

Qian Tao originally wanted to go too, but was stopped by Zhuang Yifan who was quick-witted and agile.

"Section Chief Qian, I still have wounded patients here."

"Could you find me a doctor first?"

Qian Tao had actually seen Yu Xiaowan long ago, and he also saw the bandage wrapped around Yu Xiaowan's arm. However, he was unaware of the relationship between Ye Shaohong and Yu Xiaowan, so he did not take the initiative to greet her.

Now that Zhuang Yifan has blocked his way, Qian Tao no longer has the chance to play dumb.

He could only look in the direction of the sound.

"Oh dear, isn't this Miss Yu? How did you get injured?"

"It was too dark, I didn't see clearly just now."

"It's my fault. I'll arrange for someone to bandage your wound right away. Please come with me."

……

Ye Shaohong was unaware of what was happening outside the office building.

He doesn't care either.

At this moment, in the corridor of the office building, there were only him and He Mingxuan. As the two continued to walk, no one disturbed them, and He Mingxuan no longer pretended to be patient.

He coughed lightly, but continued walking forward without stopping, sighing softly as he went.

"Shao Hong, you're being foolish."

“Those people in the Party Affairs Investigation Department are not to be trifled with. You killed one of their men today, and they certainly won't let it go.” “This matter will inevitably escalate to the Director’s office. Have you thought about how you’re going to explain yourself?”

Through these few words, Ye Shaohong had already gained a general understanding of He Mingxuan's style of handling affairs.

They are more composed than ambitious.

That's right.

In 1937, the Special Service Department was indeed weaker than the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Even if we are weak, we shouldn't be afraid of them.

He Mingxuan is the stationmaster of Jiangcheng Station.

If he has reservations about the Party Affairs Investigation Department, how can He Mingxuan's subordinates stand up for themselves when facing the Party Affairs Investigation Department?

It would make someone ride on your neck to poop.

"Explain?"

"Hehe, why should I explain to the section chief?" "I'm in the right. Those people in the Party Affairs Investigation Department were insubordinate, dared to shoot at me, and even dared to threaten me. I still want Xu Enzeng to give me an explanation."

"Stationmaster, you don't need to worry about this. I had already thought of a solution before I even took action."

"I will contact the Jinling headquarters later. As long as I relay the details back, I believe the director will not only not blame me, but may even praise me."

Ye Shaohong chuckled softly, and his words made He Mingxuan's heart tremble.

He had long known that Ye Shaohong had a powerful background.

He Mingxuan had a close relationship with Director Xu Baichuan and Section Chief Zheng Yaoxian at headquarters, but he never expected that Ye Shaohong would be so audacious and arrogant.

He keeps mentioning "Director Dai," does that mean he has a deep relationship with Director Dai Yunong?

If that's the case, then he really needs to reassess Ye Shaohong's abilities and be more cautious when dealing with Ye Shaohong in the future.
