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

Chapter 398 Eight People Form a Sworn Brotherhood

"Sworn brotherhood?"

Upon hearing Ji Chengping utter those two words, Ye Shaohong's heart skipped a beat.

Then, he turned and looked at the other people in the hall.

"One, two, three..."

"If you include me, that makes eight. No way..."

Before Ye Shaohong's worries had subsided, Xu Baichuan, standing beside him, excitedly shouted loudly.

"Great idea!"

"Brother Ji, we've certainly had a good time drinking today." "We share common aspirations, and if we can become sworn brothers, we can help each other and share our future."

Xu Baichuan had no intention of hiding his ambition, nor did he need to.

After all, everyone here is a seasoned old fox.

This frankness and directness actually wins people's hearts more.

"Cough cough."

"Baichuan, what's with all this brotherhood stuff? What, you've sworn brotherhood, and you're trying to leave me behind?"

"I won't agree to that."

Sister Pu Xiujuan, holding a wine glass in one hand, her eyes blurry with drunkenness, still spoke with composure and strength.

"Oh dear, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Sister Xiujuan, my dear elder sister, I misspoke, please don't be offended, I'll punish myself."

Seeing Xu Baichuan stand up and down a cup of wine, Pu Xiujuan, who was sitting to his left, finally smiled.

"Humph."

"You're smart enough to let it slide this time."

Pu Xiujuan wrinkled her nose. Although she was a mature woman approaching forty, there was still a unique charm in her reproachful expression.

When Ji Chengping saw that the banter between the two of them had ended and the others had not voiced any objections, the smile in the depths of his eyes deepened.

He slammed his fist on the table.

After attracting everyone's attention, he grinned and started shouting again, fueled by alcohol.

"No one has any objections, right?"

"If none of them are, then this matter is settled." "Come on, everyone tell us your age and date of birth, and we'll rank them."

"No forgery allowed. Anyone who forges something now will be caught and punished severely later."

Regardless, Ji Chengping was the vice president of the Anti-Smoking Association, and he still carried the imposing presence of a high-ranking official. When he shouted, everyone at the table immediately responded.

Subsequently.

Ye Shaohong immediately noticed that the chubby boy next to Zheng Yaoxian, who had previously been playing around and tearing clothes at Wang Tianfeng, immediately changed his expression.

He seemed to have a guilty conscience.

This surprised Ye Shaohong. Without thinking, he turned his gaze to the chubby boy named Zhang Jianping.

With just that one glance, Zhang Jianping noticed something.

His expression froze for a moment, then he immediately composed himself, gave Ye Shaohong an awkward smile, and then quickly picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it to Ye Shaohong from afar.

"has a problem."

"This kid is definitely hiding something."

Ye Shaohong was deep in thought, and before he could figure out the cause and effect, Wang Tianfeng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised his hand and nudged his shoulder.

"Brother Ye, it's your turn."

"Oh, it's my turn?"

"Oh, I am twenty-two years old this year, born on June 12th."

Ye Shaohong reacted quickly and guessed the general situation in an instant. He gave his age and date of birth without hesitation.

Upon hearing his words, the elderly men and women at the table all broke into bright smiles.

It's obvious. Up to now, Ye Shaohong is still the youngest.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably be called "little brother" too.

Zheng Yaoxian thought so too.

As Ye Shaohong finished speaking, Zheng Yaoxian did not rush to respond. Instead, he picked up his wine glass, stood up, and bowed to everyone from afar.

He then revealed his age and date of birth.

Thirty-one years old.

Judging from the current situation, he is indeed the second oldest, which drew praise from several older brothers and sisters sitting at the head of the table.

Finally, it was Zhang Jianping's turn.

Faced with the gazes of everyone at the table, Zhang Jianping smiled awkwardly.

He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Then he lowered his head again.

"What's going on?"

"Jianping, you wouldn't be looking down on us, would you?"

"If you don't want to become sworn brothers with us, just say so. We won't blame you."

This time, it wasn't Ji Chengping who spoke, but Chen Ping'an, the oldest among them after all the years had been discussed.

He is the Director of the Equipment Division of the Ministry of Police.

He was also a veteran of the Special Service.

It was Dai Yunong who used his influence over the police department's trusted personnel, and he certainly had the right to reprimand Zhang Jianping.

"No……."

"How could Jianping dare to refuse the kindness shown to him by his older brothers and sisters?"

"But I have my reasons."

"If... if Brother Ji Chengping hadn't mentioned the forgery just now, I would definitely have directly given the age and birth date recorded in the file."

"But my brother has already made his decision, so I can't hide anything from him."

"Actually, I am also 22 years old (by Chinese reckoning), and... and I was born in August."

After Zhang Jianping finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.

"What? You're only twenty-two?"

"Wait a minute, I remember your file says you're twenty-four. You actually lied about it?"

Wang Tianfeng glared suddenly, slammed his hand on the table, and pointed at Zhang Jianping.

"hey-hey!"

"It's because my family elders are pressuring me to get married, so I changed my age." "Don't take offense, brother."

Zhang Jianping raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looking extremely weak and exhausted.

Ye Shaohong, standing to the side, also instantly showed a look of realization.

"That's it."

"Haha."

"So, Shao Hong, aren't you the little brother yet?"

Zheng Yaoxian was also surprised by this result, but he didn't care too much. The current archives system of the Republic of China was already chaotic, and there were countless people who had altered their place of origin, name, and age.

There's really nothing to say.

What he really cared about was Ye Shaohong's ranking.

"Yes."

"My youngest child, just like that, was taken away by him."

"I was hoping to be the youngest brother so that my older brothers and sisters would take good care of me in the future."

Ye Shaohong smiled and pointed at Zhang Jianping, looking quite angry.

"So this is ah?"

"fine."

"So what if you falsified your age in your file? With us older brothers protecting you, even if it comes to light later, no one will make things difficult for you."

"Come on, let's start arranging the seats!"
