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

Chapter 329 The Trap in the Box

Yamada Hisao is amazing.

He recognized Ye Shaohong's identity at first glance.

This can be attributed to internal sabotage within the Secret Service.

I can understand and accept it.

But what Yamada Hisao said next was not so simple.

He said two things.

The first thing they did was to deduce the current situation within the newly formed 7th Army.

Secondly, Yamada Hisao explicitly told Ye Shaohong that after learning Ye Shaohong's identity and past experiences, he had been secretly plotting to eliminate him. Such keen intuition, such swift speed, such ruthless heart.

No wonder he's a veteran agent of the Special Higher Police.

No wonder he was able to weave such a large spy network in Jiangcheng in just a few years.

He is indeed a cunning and troublesome opponent.

Ye Shaohong believed that if he missed this opportunity today, it would be extremely difficult to catch up with him again.

Fortunately.

He seized the opportunity.

He is now the victor, while Yamada Hisao is the prisoner.

"Old thing."

"You're very cunning. Even at a point like this, you still want to use words to subtly probe me?"

"Fine, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"The spy network you spent years planting within the newly formed Seventh Army has been completely eradicated by me, and they are now waiting for you in prison."

As Ye Shaohong finished speaking, it was clear that Yamada Hisao's sharp, knife-like eyes flickered slightly.

It then dimmed.

"One wrong step and the whole game is lost."

"If I had known that killing Sun Yihui would lure you here, I wouldn't have attacked him."

"It's too late to regret now."

Perhaps it was due to his age and profound experience, but it was difficult to see the arrogance and madness typical of Japanese people in Yamada Hisao, even when facing his enemy Ye Shaohong.

Even when faced with certain death, Yamada Hisao remained calm and composed. He even had the leisure to chat with Ye Shaohong for a few moments.

But Ye Shaohong had no intention of chatting with him.

After giving the old man a cold look, Ye Shaohong shifted his gaze and landed on the young man standing to the side.

"The Special Service?"

Having voiced his question, Ye Shaohong waited a moment but received no reply from the young man.

He then understood.

Naturally, they wouldn't ask any further questions.

A flicker of disgust crossed his eyes before Ye Shaohong turned around and looked at Li Yunlong.

"Arrange for someone to treat the brothers in your arms."

"Also, search the room again to see if there's a radio or a codebook."

This is the most important thing.

Li Yunlong was already familiar with the process of handling the case. He nodded and walked out.

They gathered some men and carried away the field staff who had been shot.

He then led Chen Huishan and several field agents from Jiangcheng Station back to the room.

After a frantic search, a joyful cry suddenly rang out from the inner room.

Chen Huishan came out.

He was also carrying a wicker box in his arms.

"Station Chief Ye...is this what you think it is?"

"In the inner room, I found a hidden compartment, and the box was also found in the hidden compartment."

As he spoke, Chen Huishan stepped forward and placed the rattan box on the table in front of the hall. His face was beaming with smiles as he made a move to open the rattan box.

Just then, Ye Shaohong keenly noticed a hint of mockery flash across the eyes of Yamada Hisao, who was being pinned to the ground.

Although he concealed it very well.

It appeared briefly, then he quickly suppressed it.

But even this slight change in expression made Ye Shaohong's heart skip a beat.

"and many more."

"Don't rush to take action immediately. First, check if there are any hidden booby traps inside this box."

Ye Shaohong's sudden shout caused Chen Huishan, who had already placed his hand on the rattan box, to freeze in place.

He slowly turned around and looked at Ye Shaohong.

A hint of panic also appeared deep in his eyes.

"Stationmaster, are you saying... there might be a hand grenade hidden in this box?"

Ye Shaohong had no interest in answering Chen Huishan's question; he simply turned around and looked at Li Yunlong.

"Yunlong, are you alright with your injuries?"

"Thank you for your concern, stationmaster. I'm fine."

Li Yunlong smiled and responded indifferently.

"Ah."

"Then go and take a look, but be careful."

While talking to Li Yunlong, Ye Shaohong observed the changes in Yamada Hisao's expression. When he saw the smile on his face freeze for a moment and then return to calm, Ye Shaohong's heart skipped a beat.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to have Yamada Hisao, Zhao Hongying, and the others taken away first.

He then waved his hand to disperse the crowd in the room.

Only after everything had settled down, and he followed the others out, did he raise his hand and gesture for Li Yunlong to make a move.

Li Yunlong is a member of the Northern Flying Thieves, the Swallow Clan. Picking locks and entering doors is his specialty, and even now, injured, his skills still surpass those of Chen Huishan, a street thief.

He first took out the dagger he carried with him from his waist, and with a turn of the blade, he inserted the tip of the knife into the gap of the wicker box.

As he exerted force with his palm, the dagger began to slowly move forward, bit by bit, along the gaps in the wicker box.

After a few breaths, Li Yunlong's hand suddenly froze.

"Damn, there really is a trap."

"How could those damned Japanese devils be so vicious?"

Upon hearing Li Yunlong's mutterings, Chen Huishan, who was standing next to Ye Shaohong, turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat began to trickle down his cheeks.

He tried to speak, but Ye Shaohong stopped him by raising his hand.

"Yunlong, are you confident?" "If not, you should come out first and wait for the reinforcements from Jiangcheng Station to arrive. Then find someone skilled in demolition to disarm this booby trap."

Regardless of Ye Shaohong's feelings towards Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong had followed him for several months after all, so there must have been some affection between them.

He didn't want Li Yunlong to lose his life over such a trivial matter.

"It's alright, stationmaster, don't worry."

"I wasn't sure what was inside the box, but now that I do know, how could such a small problem possibly stump me?"

As a notorious bandit king of the Northern School, Li Yunlong also possessed a certain arrogance.

He was even more unwilling to let Ye Shaohong look down on him.

After responding by looking up, Li Yunlong took a long breath, then bent down and focused his attention on the rattan box again...
