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

Chapter 370 Yama's Deceitful Heart

A ransom of five million dollars?

Upon hearing this number, Johnson Sassoon was completely stunned.

That's right.

The Saxon family is wealthy. With over a century of business accumulation, their business network now spans across Asia.

In Shanghai alone, the real estate company operated by the Sha family owns more than a dozen high-rise buildings of twenty or thirty stories.

Most of the commercial streets along the Huangpu River are also under the name of the Sassoon family.

Johnson Saxon is also the current patriarch of the Saxon family.

Given his status and position, he could easily mobilize this enormous amount of wealth.

But now he hesitated.

No other reason.

In Johnson Saxon's view, his most beloved grandson, Daphne Saxon, who had been kidnapped, was not worth the price at all.

Even though Dafeng Shaxun is his direct bloodline.

Not at all.

The mercenary and greedy nature deeply ingrained in the Jewish bloodline caused Johnson Shassin to roar in anger immediately after a brief moment of astonishment.

"NO!"

"You greedy devil, I can tell you very clearly that your request is impossible to fulfill."

“That idiot Dafeng Shaxun isn’t worth that price.” “Just shoot him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Johnson Shaxun didn't wait for Ye Shaohong on the other end of the phone to respond before he had already closed the phone.

at the same time.

Inside a foreign firm in the Japanese concession, Ye Shaohong stood frozen in place, holding a telephone in his hand.

"He...he actually dared to hang up on me?"

Johnson's reaction surprised Ye Shaohong. After a brief moment of distraction, Ye Shaohong suddenly laughed as he looked at the telephone receiver that was now silent.

Beside him, Li Yunlong also looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"nonsense!"

"If it were me, I would have hung up on you too."

"Five million US dollars? You really dare to ask for that much. The Saxon family is rich, but they're not fools."

"How could we possibly spend so much money just for a third-generation scion with some talent?"

"not to mention……."

"The task assigned by Director Jinling was only three hundred thousand US dollars, how come it's become five million when it comes to you?"

Li Yunlong looked resentful. He wanted to say a few words of advice to Ye Shaohong, but he didn't have the courage. In the end, he could only sigh softly and turn to look out the window.

"Perhaps the captain has other plans!"

Ye Shaohong had no idea what Li Yunlong was thinking.

Actually, he doesn't care.

Ye Shaohong is currently only considering one question: how to break out of his current predicament.

Now that Johnson Saxon had refused his request, it would be difficult to make a fuss about Saxon's love of eating.

Fortunately.

The Sha family was enormous, with businesses scattered throughout Shanghai. Dealing with them would not be difficult.

Once he made up his mind, Ye Shaohong immediately began to take action.

He turned around and looked at Li Yunlong again.

"Yunlong".

"I'm going to give you two tasks now."

"The first task is to immediately arrange for someone to take two photos of Dafeng Shaxun, who loves to eat."

"Remember to make him look miserable in the photos."

"You can also give him a good beating before taking the photos."

"Once the photos are developed, send them to the offices of major newspapers in Shanghai immediately through secret channels. I want this to spread throughout Shanghai by tomorrow morning."

"The second thing is to immediately send people out to investigate the business layout of the Sha Xun family in Shanghai, and then plant a few time bombs in their buildings and shopping malls."

"Remember, find a place with lots of foreigners."

As Ye Shaohong spoke these words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his lips grew even brighter.

Hearing his order, even the audacious Li Yunlong was frightened.

"team leader!"

"Well...would you like to reconsider?"

“If we do it your way, this matter will become a huge mess. Once the news leaks out, the Chief will kill us.”

Li Yunlong was not exaggerating. It is indeed possible.

Although China and Japan are now at war, Chiang Kai-shek has not yet made up his mind to launch a full-scale war against Japan.

He also hoped that the League of Nations (the predecessor of the United Nations) would intervene to mediate relations between the two countries and Japan, attempting to resolve the conflict in North China at the negotiating table.

In this situation, if news were to spread that Ye Shaohong and his team dared to take action against the John Bull family, it would be a heavy blow to international public opinion and international relations.

It was a shocking scandal.

In order to salvage the country's image, save face, and secure appropriate benefits at the negotiating table, the Chairman will absolutely not show them any mercy.

They would abandon them without hesitation.

Even if it's a department head.

They won't stand up for them or defend them; they might even kick them while they're down.

The problems that Li Yunlong could think of, Ye Shaohong could certainly think of as well.

But he did it anyway.

Ye Shaohong was absolutely confident that he could pin the blame on the Japanese.

As for the reasons and process, Ye Shaohong didn't need to explain them to Li Yunlong.

He only had one requirement.

Do as instructed.

"how?"

Are you going to disobey my orders?

With a sharp look in his eyes, Ye Shaohong's cold gaze immediately fell on Li Yunlong, causing Li Yunlong's expression to change and his heart to tremble and tighten.

"No...!" "This subordinate dares not!"

"Since you don't dare, then why don't you take action immediately?"

Ye Shaohong casually picked up the coat he had just taken off from the table next to him, put it back on, and then turned and walked out of the room without looking at Li Yunlong again.

After a long and winding journey, he arrived at the banks of the Huangpu River and stood in front of a newly opened restaurant.

After a brief look around from the outside, Ye Shaohong stepped into the restaurant and headed straight for the private room on the second floor.

A moment later, two slender figures, one tall and one short, knocked on the door of the private room.

Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng walked in together.

"team leader!"

Looking at the two figures before him, dressed as a landlord and a shopkeeper, Ye Shaohong smiled. "Not bad."

“In just a few days, you have opened your own shop here.”

“When I first came in, I took a quick look around and the business seemed pretty good. If you gain experience here, even if you don’t continue to serve in the army after the war, you’ll still have food to eat.”

Ye Shaohong greeted Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng familiarly. After a brief exchange of pleasantries and jokes, he tossed a thick file bag in front of Chi Tiecheng.

"have a look."

"This is your task. I require you to keep a close watch on the people in this file folder, starting tonight."

"Find out who they came into contact with and what they did."

"Three days from now, after my operation is complete, I require you to eliminate them as quickly as possible!"
