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

Chapter 342 Boundless Slaughter (Part 1)

Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department.

After sending the telegram, Ye Shaohong did not leave in a hurry, but waited quietly.

They waited until late at night.

9 p.m.

The telegraph machine in front of him suddenly lit up, accompanied by a beeping sound. Ye Shaohong picked up his headphones and his pen and paper.

He wrote with lightning speed, and lines of numbers gradually appeared.

A dozen minutes later, the flashing light on the telegraph machine went out, and Ye Shaohong stopped what he was doing.

"So many?" "Another new mission?"

With doubts in his mind, Ye Shaohong first turned off the transmitter, and then took out the codebook he always carried with him from his pocket.

They started translating the telegram.

A moment later, Ye Shaohong's face first showed joy, then surprise.

To everyone's surprise, his military rank was promoted again.

The order, personally signed by the Chairman and reviewed by the Ministry of National Defense, officially marks him as a colonel-level officer from this day forward.

He became a registered mid-level officer with the Nationalist government.

To his surprise, he had barely established himself in Jiangcheng, and before he could even begin his plans, he was being transferred elsewhere.

The destination was still Shanghai.

Now Asia's economic and trade center, the largest city, and also the future battlefield of the Eastern meat grinder. Although after going there, he would no longer have to accept the leadership of the Shanghai station and would directly take orders from the Nanjing headquarters, it would still be very difficult to protect himself in that complex and chaotic situation.

Thinking about the changing situation in China over the next few months, Ye Shaohong felt a heavy weight in his heart.

"That's all."

"Since we can't avoid it, then we won't try to avoid it!"

"I was reborn into this strange world, and I haven't made much of a contribution to the country and the nation. Am I not even afraid to go to the battlefield?"

"A fine man should serve his country with utmost loyalty; this is a responsibility I cannot shirk!"

As he muttered to himself, Ye Shaohong stood up.

He put away the telegram he had just finished translating, and without further hesitation, stepped out of the telecommunications department.

Back in his office, Ye Shaohong picked up the phone. "Yunlong, how's the interrogation going?"

"Reporting to the station chief, the interrogation is basically over. After Yamada Hisao confessed, I had someone bring Zhao Hongying into the interrogation room."

"When Zhao Hongying saw Yamada Hisao's injuries, she broke down completely."

"She confessed everything, and the situation was basically as we had guessed. Her purpose in infiltrating Jiangcheng this time was to meet with Yamada Hisao."

"After the two met, Yamada Hisao asked her about the situation in the newly formed 7th Army. Our action was timely. Although Zhao Hongying noticed something was amiss, she was arrested before she could report to Yamada Hisao."

Inside the interrogation room, Li Yunlong put down the statement he was holding, and with a wave of his hand, a field officer from the investigation and prevention department pulled up Zhao Hongying, who was slumped on the ground, and dragged her out in a domineering manner.

A short while later, the refined middle-aged man who had appeared once in the teahouse and come to meet Zhao Hongying was also brought in.

Li Yunlong raised his hand and pointed at Yamada Hisao.

Yamada Hisao immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to persuade the Japanese spy to surrender and confess.

Li Yunlong didn't even glance at these things.

He was still on the phone, reporting the situation to Ye Shaohong. Chen Huishan, who was standing next to him, wanted to listen in, but as soon as he made a move, Li Yunlong glared at him.

He immediately walked back to Yamada Hisao's side, looking embarrassed.

"very good!"

"You can hand over the remaining Japanese spy to Chen Huishan for interrogation. Now come to my office; I have a new task for you."

"Hurry up, time is of the essence."

Ye Shaohong hung up the phone and sat down in a chair. He tapped the table lightly with one hand as he pondered what he should do next.

Five or six minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Li Yunlong walked in.

"Stationmaster, is there another new task?"

As he opened his mouth to speak, Li Yunlong had already approached Ye Shaohong. He first placed the confession he was holding on the table, and then looked at Ye Shaohong expectantly.

"It's not a mission."

"But there is something I need to tell you."

Before Li Yunlong arrived, Ye Shaohong had already weighed the pros and cons, so when he spoke, he did not hesitate or pause at all.

"What are your orders, stationmaster?"

"As long as it's something I can do, I will definitely do my best to accomplish it."

A glint flashed in Li Yunlong's eyes. Although he couldn't guess what task Ye Shaohong was going to assign him, he still immediately showed his attitude out of habit.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"

"Didn't you tell me this afternoon that Zhou Haichao had finished inventorying the Sun family's assets and was preparing to return to Jiangcheng?"

"I want you to leave right now and kill him!"

Ye Shaohong never forgot Zhou Haichao's wolfish ambition, nor did he forget how Xiao Zhengguo had shielded him from trouble several times in Jinling.

Therefore, he had made the decision a long time ago.

He came to Jiangcheng this time to get rid of Zhou Haichao in advance and change Xiao Zhengguo's fate.

Now that he has received a telegram from the Jinling headquarters and knows his impending transfer, he will certainly not hesitate any longer.

Preparations are underway for action. "Yes, sir!"

"I'm leaving now."

Li Yunlong didn't know why Ye Shaohong wanted to take action against Zhou Haichao, but he knew one thing very clearly: he could not disobey Ye Shaohong's orders.

There was no time to think about the cause and effect. Li Yunlong raised his hand in salute and turned to leave the room without hesitation.

Watching his departing figure, Ye Shaohong silently shook his head.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want to give this task to Li Yunlong.

In Ye Shaohong's mind, the best candidate should be Zhuang Yifan.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Yifan is currently in the newly formed Seventh Army and cannot return to Jiangcheng in the short term, so this matter can only be entrusted to Li Yunlong.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen. After explaining this matter, Ye Shaohong picked up the phone again and called the newly formed 7th Army headquarters.

The person who answered the phone was Chief of Staff Cheng Min.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ye Shaohong explained why he had made the call.

He ordered Chief of Staff Cheng Min to immediately arrange for personnel to escort the Japanese spies and traitors within the newly formed 7th Army to Jiangcheng overnight.

Ye Shaohong's reason was to expedite the interrogation.

Close the case as soon as possible.

But only he himself knew that this was just an excuse to fool Chief of Staff Cheng Min.

His real purpose was to gather all these Japanese spies and traitors before the "July 7th Incident".

When the war broke out, Ye Shaohong wanted to give a bloody account to the vast land of China and the countless men of China in his own way...
