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

Chapter 313 Focus on Intention, Not Actions

Ye Shaohong could understand Chief of Staff Cheng Min's grief and indignation.

Anyone who sees that the business they have painstakingly built has become rotten inside will fall into self-doubt.

Moreover, this is not a company or a shop.

It's the army, not the military.

The army is a matter of national security and the lives of the people...

The self-blame and grief were even more difficult to express in words.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Cheng Min wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into or have someone shoot him dead.

Ye Shaohong's words were like a morning bell and a powerful stimulant, revitalizing Chief of Staff Cheng Min, who had been feeling lost and helpless.

"Yes."

"I can't give up, and I can't die."

"I haven't personally skinned these beasts alive yet, I can't lose heart!"

Upon hearing Chief of Staff Cheng Min's words, Ye Shaohong smiled, a smile of great satisfaction.

Regardless of Chief of Staff Cheng Min's character, or whether he had engaged in corruption, bribery, or bullying of the weak, Ye Shaohong only knew one thing.

The nation has reached a critical juncture, a matter of life and death.

The Second Battle of Shanghai was about to begin.

Chief of Staff Cheng Min may have his flaws, and he may have the blood of innocent people on his hands, but there is no denying that he is a soldier.

He is still a patriotic and passionate soldier. If war really breaks out, Ye Shaohong believes that Chief of Staff Cheng Min, standing before him, would not hesitate to abandon his family and career to rush to the front lines.

Every inch of our land is bought with blood, and the blood here is not just that of good people.

Even bad people have a sense of national identity.

In the words of the ancients, it means judging by one's heart, not by one's actions; and judging by actions, no one is perfect!

……

In the brief moment that Ye Shaohong and Chief of Staff Cheng Min were talking in hushed tones, the chaotic battle in the auditorium also came to an end.

Of the dozen or so Japanese spies who were exposed, some died and some were wounded, and only three were left alive.

As for those traitors and collaborators who betrayed their country, no one knows who did it, but in the end only five survived.

Their hands were restrained, and they were led to the front of the stage. "Chief of Staff, they've all been captured."

"What do you think we should do?"

The adjutant to Chief of Staff Cheng Min's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice carried a chilling undertone as he spoke these words.

"Leave it all to Station Chief Ye."

"Leave professional matters to the professionals; let's not interfere."

Perhaps it was because the conversation had moved Chief of Staff Cheng Min that, when asked by his adjutant, Chief of Staff Cheng Min made a decision almost without hesitation.

"chief of staff……."

The adjutant had just participated in the battle, and his restless blood hadn't yet calmed down. Upon hearing Chief of Staff Cheng Min's words, he immediately became anxious.

He shouted, trying to change Chief of Staff Cheng Min's decision. "Stop talking."

"I will not change my mind once I've made a decision."

With a wave of his hand, Chief of Staff Cheng Min displayed the resolute spirit cultivated through years of military service, instantly silencing the adjutant.

Then, Chief of Staff Cheng Min turned and looked at Ye Shaohong.

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Station Chief Ye, I'm leaving the rest to you."

"Promise me you will find all the Japanese spies hiding in the newly formed 7th Army, as well as those traitors and collaborators who defected to the enemy."

After saying this, Chief of Staff Cheng Min bowed deeply to Ye Shaohong.

This gift carries considerable weight.

Ye Shaohong wanted to dodge, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

He stepped forward and helped Chief of Staff Cheng Mincheng up. Seeing Chief of Staff Cheng Mincheng's reddened eyes and the tears streaming down his face, Ye Shaohong's heart trembled.

That kind of masculine spirit made Ye Shaohong secretly startled.

he knows.

He has no way out.

The only thing he can do now is to agree to Chief of Staff Cheng Min's request and then do his best to accomplish this important task.

"Chief of Staff Cheng, don't worry."

"As long as I, Ye Shaohong, am here, I will definitely bring a bright future to the newly formed Seventh Army!"

The trust between men is that simple.

There were no emotional words exchanged between them.

Every word uttered carries the weight of a mountain, and is worth protecting with one's life. "I believe in you."

Chief of Staff Cheng Min straightened up, raised his hand and patted Ye Shaohong on the shoulder, then turned around and looked at his personal adjutant.

"Yang Ziping, I'm going to give you a task now."

"From this moment on, you will be temporarily transferred to Station Chief Ye's side to protect his life."

"Remember, I have only one request: even if you die, you must protect him."

No one expected that Chief of Staff Cheng Min would issue such an order at this time.

Who is Yang Ziping, the adjutant?

That was Chief of Staff Cheng Min's absolute confidant, responsible for taking care of his life and protecting his safety.

In terms of the level of trust, it might even be several times deeper than that between him and his wife and children. But now, Chief of Staff Cheng Min is going all out to track down the Japanese spies, traitors, and collaborators lurking within the newly formed 7th Army.

They disregarded their own reputation and safety.

We must carry this operation through to the end.

Yang Ziping, the adjutant, raised his head and stared blankly at Chief of Staff Cheng Min. The two made eye contact briefly, and then a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

"I promise, even if I die, I will protect Station Chief Ye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ziping, the adjutant, first saluted Chief of Staff Cheng Min, and then turned to salute Ye Shaohong.

After the formalities were over, he resolutely walked behind Ye Shaohong.

He has already begun to fulfill his promise through his actions. "Chief of Staff Cheng, this..."

"Stop talking."

"Compared to my current safety, Station Chief Ye, the responsibilities and mission you bear are obviously much heavier."

"Don't let Yang Ziping's youth fool you; he's been in the army for over ten years."

"He personally participated in more than a hundred battles, large and small."

"He is not only an excellent marksman, but also extremely skilled in combat. Normally, it would be difficult for a dozen people to get close to him."

"And he is also my brother-in-law."

“I trust him just as I trust you. With him by your side, I can handle the mess of the newly formed Seventh Army with peace of mind.”

"Station Chief Ye, please don't refuse me."

Although Chief of Staff Cheng Min hadn't known Ye Shaohong for long, he had already realized that Ye Shaohong was someone who wanted to get things done and was capable of doing so.

The only way to fulfill his wish is to rely on Ye Shaohong.

That's why he made that decision.

"it is good!"

"Chief of Staff Cheng has already put it this way, how could I, Ye Shaohong, refuse?"

"Thank you for your kind words, Chief of Staff Cheng. Shao Hong will definitely not let you down."

After responding, Ye Shaohong turned to look at the surviving Japanese spies and traitors below the podium.

"Someone is coming."

"Bring them with you, we'll begin the interrogation immediately!"
