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

Chapter 411 One After Another Takes the Stage

into the night.

A dozen or so figures silently slipped into front of a house in the Zhabei Yellow River flood zone.

These people were all dressed in black, close-fitting clothes, and carrying axes and machetes.

Led by their leader, they easily infiltrated the outer perimeter of the residential compound. After concealing themselves, they did not rush to take action.

One person broke away from the group, pretending to be a late-night traveler, and wandered around the surrounding streets.

Only after confirming that there were no special circumstances did the person turn back.

"Boss, no problem." "Great!"

"Then let's get started, and be quick about it."

The man leading the operation was a burly and imposing figure, like a raging bear. As he gave orders, he raised his hand and put on a face mask.

The moment his arm fell, more than a dozen black-clad figures standing to his left and right simultaneously jumped over the wall into the courtyard in front.

"Xiba!"

"Enemy in sight! Retreat!"

The noise made by the group of more than a dozen people eventually alerted the people on guard duty in the courtyard.

From inside the courtyard came the strange, startled cries of the Koreans.

Then came the roars and curses of hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons.

This scene also caught Ye Shaohong's eye. At this moment, he was hiding with Chi Tiecheng in a nearby house.

Looking at the lights lit up in the courtyard ahead and the fierce battle, Ye Shaohong's face showed no change in emotion.

"Clang clang clang clang"

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, the door opened, and Xiao Zhengguo stepped in.

"Section Chief."

"We just received word that a group of Japanese Black Dragon Society ronin are heading this way!"

Upon hearing Xiao Zhengguo's report, Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Japanese?"

"I see. I was wondering why Zhang Xiaolin would suddenly attack the Korean National Salvation Army."

"So that's what he was planning."

Now that things have developed to this point, the situation is quite clear: Zhuang Yifan has been abandoned by Zhang Xiaolin.

Has his identity been exposed?

It should not be.

It's highly likely that Zhuang Yifan's rise to power recently has been too rapid, to the point that Zhang Xiaolin is wary of him.

That's why Zhang Xiaolin planned this operation.

He wanted to use Zhuang Yifan to eliminate the Goryeo National Salvation Army.

Then they betrayed Zhuang Yifan to the Black Dragon Society, who were Japanese.

This was done in order to curry favor with the Japanese devils.

That's a brilliant move, killing two birds with one stone!

Zhang Xiaolin's scheme was truly insidious and ruthless.

Wasn't he afraid that Zhuang Yifan hadn't died here and would spread the news back home, affecting his reputation? Ye Shaohong thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"That old bastard Zhang Xiaolin, he might not really care about this."

"That old man has done a lot of heinous things to curry favor with the Japanese."

"After the Second Battle of Shanghai, he instructed his followers to help the Japanese search for and arrest anti-Japanese elements in Shanghai."

"Subsequently, he helped Li Shiqun establish the Special Agent Headquarters at No. 76 Gisfield Road, and also had his godson-in-law Wu Dabao join No. 76."

"By groveling and fawning, this old man actually managed to become the governor of a province."

"Why would he care about such a little bit of criticism!"

After understanding everything, Ye Shaohong did not immediately send someone to inform Zhuang Yifan.

There's no need for that. Zhuang Yifan was personally brought out of Jinling South City Prison by him, and he studied under him for a long time, so he's already quite well-trained.

If it were an ordinary street thug, he might have been tricked and schemed against by Zhang Xiaolin.

But Zhuang Yifan would never do that.

Ye Shaohong believed that Zhuang Yifan would definitely have further arrangements and plans.

If he simply observes from the sidelines, he should be able to discover something.

As Ye Shaohong had predicted, the Korean National Salvation Army soldiers in the courtyard were few in number to begin with, and the sudden ambush meant that their battle lasted only five or six minutes.

Soon, these Koreans died at the hands of the men brought by Zhuang Yifan.

They immediately began cleaning up the battlefield.

Search for the possible $180,000 in overseas funds.

The result was neither good nor bad.

Zhuang Yifan and his group did find some money, but the exact amount was far less than what was rumored.

Let alone $180,000, the amount of valuables they found in the camp of this group of Korean National Salvation Army soldiers wasn't even enough for $10,000.

The most valuable items were just two old radios.

These were likely tools used by the Goryeo National Salvation Army and their organizations for communication.

It was a worthwhile trip.

After inspecting all the spoils, Zhuang Yifan was about to leave with his men when the ronin from the Black Dragon Society of the Japanese arrived.

Upon seeing the distinctive markings on the Black Dragon Society members, Zhuang Yifan was slightly taken aback.

Then he grinned. "Little devils?"

"Great! This is perfect timing, since I haven't had a chance to stretch my legs today. You've come to give me a treat."

"In that case, you shouldn't run away."

Those who came with Zhuang Yifan this time were all action team members specially selected by Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian in Jinling for Ye Shaohong.

In other words, they were all Zhuang Yifan's trusted confidants.

In front of them, Zhuang Yifan didn't need to hide his identity, nor did he need to hide his hatred and murderous intent towards the Japanese.

After a sinister laugh, Zhuang Yifan let out a cold groan.

The men in black he brought with him then drew their weapons from their waists.

"idiot!"

"Information is incorrect, retreat!"

Upon seeing this scene, the ronin of the Japanese Black Dragon Society realized they had been tricked and immediately turned to flee.

But Zhuang Yifan had finally found an opportunity to kill the Japanese devils, so how could he let it go so easily?

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

A series of gunshots rang out deep in the streets of the Zhabei Yellow River flood zone, accompanied by screams and wails. This group of twenty or thirty Japanese Black Dragon Society ronin, who had come to be the prey, died one after another at the hands of Zhuang Yifan and his men.

"Pooh!"

"A bunch of beasts, you think you can outsmart me?"

"Brothers, let's get to it and cut off all their heads, then use them to create a display and pile them up at the entrance of this courtyard."

"Oh, and don't forget to leave my master's (Zhang Xiaolin's) name card."

“This is evidence of his ‘old man’ fighting for the country.” Zhuang Yifan had also been corrupted by Ye Shaohong. He guessed Zhang Xiaolin’s sinister intentions and, of course, he would not sit idly by. Without hesitation, he immediately launched a counterattack.

One can imagine the fury Zhang Xiaolin would feel when someone heard the gunshots, rushed over to check the situation, and the news reached his ears.

However, Zhuang Yifan didn't care about these things.

It's the underworld, you know.

It's normal for people to scheme against each other. Since Zhang Xiaolin dared to do one thing, he can do another, and no one can find fault with him.

Even if Zhang Xiaolin found out that it was him who led the attack, Zhang Xiaolin would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

It's because the Japanese haven't taken over Shanghai yet.

Since Shanghai was still under the control of the Nationalist government, if he didn't want to expose his despicable act of colluding with the Japanese, he could only accept the "merit" that Zhuang Yifan forced upon him. After everyone worked together to cut off the heads of twenty or thirty Japanese devils and piled them up, Zhuang Yifan led his men to quickly move away and escape.

Shortly after they left, another young man covered in blood secretly ran out of the compound where the Korean National Salvation Army was stationed.

The man was holding an exquisite wooden box in his arms.

He ran out of the courtyard and saw the twenty or thirty headless corpses and heads, which terrified him so much that he fell to the ground.

"Mom!"

"Things shouldn't be like this."

"How could this be...?"

The young man let out a shrill scream, finally calming down a little. He scrambled to his feet, picked up the wooden box again, and ran towards the distance of the street.

This scene was witnessed by Ye Shaohong. "How lively!"

"It seems quite a few people are involved in this matter today, as one act ends and another begins."

"Iron City, it's your turn to take action. You must get back what he took for me."

"That'smine!"
