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

Chapter 393 Seeing Zheng Yaoxian Again

If you do the math, it's been less than a month since the second Battle of Shanghai broke out.

At this time, Ye Shaohong was reluctant to be transferred back to Jinling.

But what could he do?

This order was personally signed and sent by Dai Yunong.

Even though he was unwilling, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to pack his bags and set off as soon as possible.

That evening, Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong boarded a train to Jinling. After a night of travel, they arrived at the foot of Villa No. 1 in Honggongci the next morning.

Looking at the house he hadn't seen for months, Ye Shaohong was filled with emotion. "I'm back."

"This should be the last time I come here."

Ye Shaohong's remarks were not made lightly.

On August 13, 1937, the Second Battle of Shanghai was about to break out, and three months later, on November 12, the Battle of Shanghai ended.

On December 1st, the Battle of Nanjing began.

On December 13, Nanjing fell.

In just four months, the economic and political center of the Republic of China, the capital region of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, fell into the hands of the enemy.

But can you say that the Nationalist government did nothing?

No.

In the Second Battle of Shanghai, the Nationalist government mobilized 148 divisions and 62 brigades, including the Training Corps, the Tax Corps, and the 87th and 88th Divisions, totaling over 800,000 troops, to the battlefield. In this battle, the most elite German-trained divisions of the Republic of China era were almost entirely wiped out.

After the battle ended, casualties were tallied, with over 300,000 soldiers and civilians killed.

What about the Battle of Nanjing?

In just ten days of fighting, the Nationalist government deployed 150,000 troops and suffered more than 50,000 casualties.

Then the horrific massacre broke out.

More than 300,000 innocent people perished under the swords of the Japanese devils.

Four months.

It's only been four months.

My vast land of China is stained with blood, and countless families have been destroyed. These are all the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese devils.

An indelible crime.

"Sigh!" Ye Shaohong sighed softly. He wanted to stop the battle, but he was all alone.

"For the first time, I felt that God had been unfair to me."

"If I could transmigrate here and have the same system and the same troop-producing skills as everyone else, how wonderful that would be."

After a brief moment of dazed reflection, Ye Shaohong regained his composure, straightened his clothes, and led Li Yunlong into the familiar office space.

They soon arrived at Zheng Yaoxian's office.

That's right.

Upon returning to Jinling this time, Ye Shaohong did not go directly to meet with Director Dai Yunong.

Instead, he came to meet Zheng Yaoxian first.

He wanted to find out from Zheng Yaoxian what was happening at the Special Service Headquarters in Nanjing recently, so he could have a clear understanding of the situation and be prepared to deal with any changes.

"The door's unlocked, come in!"

A slightly tired voice came from inside the room, and Ye Shaohong immediately smiled.

He pushed open the door and went inside.

"Senior!"

At a call, Zheng Yaoxian, who was engrossed in his work at his desk in the room, immediately looked up.

"Shao Hong?"

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Zheng Yaoxian stood up, a smile on his face, and took a few steps to stand in front of Ye Shaohong.

Just as Ye Shaohong was about to speak, Zheng Yaoxian opened his arms and pulled him into a hug.

"Brother." "I miss you so much!"

There were no sentimental words, just these two simple sentences, yet they immediately brought tears to Ye Shaohong's eyes.

The feelings between men are that simple and straightforward.

"I miss you guys too!"

Ye Shaohong smiled and patted Zheng Yaoxian's back hard.

But who wants to.

After those two slaps, Zheng Yaoxian's face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help but cough repeatedly.

"What's going on?"

"Section Chief, are you injured?"

Upon noticing something amiss, Ye Shaohong quickly released Zheng Yaoxian's body, frowned, and looked down at Zheng Yaoxian's neck and collar.

He was there and smelled a faint scent of blood, along with a strong medicinal odor.

"Cough cough!"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. At the beginning of the month, I went to North China on the orders of the director."

"The mission was accomplished, but during the retreat, an accident occurred, and we were hit by a bullet from the Japanese."

Zheng Yaoxian's face was slightly pale, but when he recounted this dangerous experience, a bright smile appeared on his face.

You can tell.

He was quite satisfied with his trip to North China.

"If you're injured, go to the hospital."

"Why rush to work? Chief, even if the Special Service is short-staffed right now, he shouldn't be ordering patients around like this."

Ultimately, Ye Shaohong was also brought into the Special Service by Zheng Yaoxian, and he and Zheng Yaoxian had a very deep relationship. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were both teacher and friend.

Within the entire Special Service Department, the only person Ye Shaohong could completely trust was Zheng Yaoxian.

He certainly didn't want to see Zheng Yaoxian get hurt.

"It's none of the Director's business."

"He also granted me special sick leave. I was worried about the work in the department, so I took the initiative to come to work."

Zheng Yaoxian smiled and gave a casual explanation, then pulled Ye Shaohong along to walk towards the sofa rest area.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly come back?"

"I didn't even receive the message."

"Is the section chief giving you some new orders again?"

If it were anyone else, Ye Shaohong would definitely not have revealed such a confidential matter.

But it's different when facing Zheng Yaoxian.

Without hesitation, Ye Shaohong recounted the operation in Shanghai.

He also recounted the difficulties he encountered.

Ye Shaohong also wanted to ask Zheng Yaoxian how he should handle the situation when he met with the section chief later.

after all.

Suspicion is in the nature of spies.

As the head of the Special Service Department, Director Dai Yunong was even more suspicious.

The rampant rumors in Shanghai also put him in a dangerous situation.

If things aren't handled properly, Ye Shaohong's life could be in danger.

Hey, you.

"Being caught up in the situation, I'm worrying too much."

"Don't you think about it? The director is in Shanghai, so he has other sources of information. After this happened, he will definitely arrange for others to investigate the details of this operation from the side."

"So you don't need to worry at all."

Zheng Yaoxian shook his head and smiled. It was rare to see Ye Shaohong looking worried and troubled, and he was quite happy about it.

"Yes."

"It's my heart that's in turmoil."

"Alright, I'll go see the Director first, and then I'll come see you after the meeting."

"Take some time tonight and invite Director Xu Baichuan over. It'll be my treat, and we'll have a good drink together!"
