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

Chapter 416 The Intensive Arrangements

Three days later.

The banks of the Huangpu River late at night.

Three small cargo ships slowly sailed into the smuggling port.

With the continuous influx of dockworkers, hundreds and thousands of packaged goods were unloaded from the cargo ships and transported overnight from the smuggling port to the warehouses that Ye Shaohong had purchased in advance.

Inside a private room of a teahouse outside the dock, Ye Shaohong was quietly drinking Pu'er tea.

A series of footsteps sounded.

Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng walked in, both looking exhausted.

"Section Chief." "The operation went smoothly. We seized all the cargo on the smuggling ship 'Qingshan' under Zhang Xiaolin's name."

"All personnel on board were eliminated, and the cargo ship was destroyed in international waters."

Despite being exhausted, Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng were still excited to have personally overseen this earth-shattering case. Their voices trembled slightly as they gave their report.

"very good."

"You did a great job on this mission. I'll remember your contribution."

"However, I have some less-than-good news to share with you."

"Now that you've returned, you probably won't have time to go back and rest. Tonight, I'm going to select you to complete a new mission."

"Would you like that?"

Ye Shaohong put down his teacup, looked at Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng with a solemn expression, and directly stated the purpose of his special visit today.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, both Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng were taken aback.

immediately.

They both stepped forward at the same time and responded loudly.

"willing!"

"We do!"

"Please give the order, section chief."

This is the choice of professional soldiers, and it is also the responsibility that men should have in times of war to save their country and its people.

"it is good!"

"Xiao Zhengguo, come forward."

"I have a list here. I demand that you tie up the wives, children, and elderly of these three men by this evening."

"At the same time, we arranged for people to plant time bombs in their companies and homes."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Shaohong reached into his pocket, pulled out a folded piece of paper, and handed it to Xiao Zhengguo.

Seeing that Xiao Zhengguo had received a new mission, Chi Tiecheng, who was standing to the side, became anxious.

He also wanted to make a name for himself.

He also wanted to make meritorious contributions, be promoted, and return to his hometown in glory.

"Senior!"

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Your mission is also very important."

"Xiao Zhengguo, take the list and get to work now. Remember my instructions: by this evening at the latest."

Ye Shaohong waved his hand, letting Xiao Zhengguo leave the small teahouse first. After the footsteps faded into the distance, Ye Shaohong turned to look at Chi Tiecheng. "Tiecheng, I know you have a great talent for assassination."

"This kind of talent is extremely rare in our profession; it's like being blessed by God."

"Therefore, I am about to entrust you with an extremely important task."

"Once this mission is completed, I will personally report your achievement to headquarters and to the section chief on your behalf."

Xiao Zhengguo was a dull and taciturn person, so when Ye Shaohong assigned him tasks, he used a straightforward approach and got straight to the point.

Chi Tiecheng was different.

He has a strong desire for power and status.

He also desperately wanted to show off, so before issuing his orders, Ye Shaohong gave him a dose of "poisonous chicken soup" (a metaphor for being overly critical).

The effect is quite good. Excellent.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's seemingly heartfelt words, Chi Tiecheng immediately perked up.

His eyes were burning, and his breathing became more rapid.

"Section Chief, just give the orders."

“I, Chi Tiecheng, can assure you that even if it costs me my life, I will definitely complete the task you have entrusted to me.”

"it is good!"

Ye Shaohong shouted loudly.

He then stood up, leaned close to Chi Tiecheng's ear, and whispered his words.

"I want you to kill him before tomorrow evening..."

"Remember this: none of these people can live. I want them all to die in public. The better, create widespread panic!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong's expression unconsciously turned cold.

It felt like the dead of winter.

Those cool words, spoken aloud, reached Chi Tiecheng's ears, making his eyes shine even brighter.

"no problem."

"give it to me."

"I promise they'll die a horrific death."

Chi Tiecheng smiled coldly. He was extremely satisfied with this task; it could be said that it had hit the nail on the head.

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Ah."

"It's getting late. You've all been busy all night. Go and get some rest."

"I'll be waiting for your good news tomorrow." Ye Shaohong nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand to pat Chi Tiecheng's shoulder, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and then told him to go and rest.

Chi Tiecheng nodded, turned around, and walked away.

After Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng left, Ye Shaohong did not leave immediately.

He is still waiting.

Waiting for another person to arrive.

More than half an hour later, a burly figure silently arrived at the entrance of the teahouse.

After looking around and making sure no one was around, he entered the teahouse and made his way to Ye Shaohong's private room.

"Section Chief."

"Yifan, you've arrived."

"Sit down and have a couple of drinks with me!" Ye Shaohong's attitude changed again when facing Zhuang Yifan, his most trusted confidant.

Become more approachable and easy-going.

The two talked as if they were friends, relaxed and at ease.

Zhuang Yifan also prefers this method the most.

This represents his status in Ye Shaohong's heart, and also represents Ye Shaohong's trust in him.

After a brief, casual chat, Ye Shaohong finally revealed his purpose to Zhuang Yifan.

He instructed Zhuang Yifan to mobilize his trusted subordinates to spread an atmosphere of terror to the greatest extent possible after the unrest breaks out tomorrow.

There is only one requirement.

The goal was to ensure that all those in power in Shanghai heard the news and were thrown into chaos. This task was practically tailor-made for Zhuang Yifan.

But it's also the easiest.

Upon hearing the task, Zhuang Yifan immediately frowned. To be honest, he was reluctant to accept it.

The difficulty level was too low, so low that he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But this was an order personally given by Ye Shaohong, his savior and the officer who guided him. Even if Zhuang Yifan was unwilling, he could not refuse.

"Yes!"

"I guarantee I will complete the mission."

"how?"

"You think this task is too easy, you're not satisfied?"

"Don't rush, this is just the initial step. I'll arrange for someone to meet you at the Cinque Terrell later. Your tasks will be quite demanding afterward, so just follow his instructions." "Remember, the person who will meet you in my place is trustworthy."

"His orders are my orders."

"You can't be careless or negligent at all, Yifan. You are the person I trust the most, and I have high expectations for you. You can't let me down."

Ye Shaohong had a deep understanding of Zhuang Yifan; with just a glance, he could see through Zhuang Yifan's thoughts.

In order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, he did not hide anything.

He directly told Zhuang Yifan about the follow-up arrangements.

This is different from Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng. Ye Shaohong only briefly revealed some details about their plans.

The two of them did not know each other, let alone the details of the plan.

Zhuang Yifan was obedient. When Ye Shaohong said that he had another task to complete, Zhuang Yifan didn't ask any more questions and immediately agreed loudly.

Then Zhuang Yifan left.

Watching his silent departure, Ye Shaohong stood by the window and rubbed his temples.

He felt very tired.

He met with Xu Tian several times over the past three days.

The two continued to refine their plan, but even with all their efforts, they could only increase the probability of completing the mission to about 80%.

Achieving 100% is virtually impossible.

But now there's no turning back.

This plan was launched two days ago, but Li Yunlong did not come today.

That's because he had already received Ye Shaohong's orders and was acting ahead of schedule. Li Yunlong has been very busy these past few days.

I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe, but that's still far from enough.

The most important operation will not show initial results until tomorrow. This plan will also be the largest operation personally overseen by Ye Shaohong since he came to Shanghai.

Nothing could be more powerful than a thunderclap in the midst of silence.

After this operation, even if the Japanese military police and special higher authorities are unable to find his hidden identity, they will certainly know that there is such a person as him in Shanghai.

This will inevitably raise his threat level to a point where it cannot be ignored or neglected.

At that time, Ye Shaohong and his men will be in the most dangerous and difficult situation.

Everything depends on the outcome of tomorrow's actions.

A story that will be written in bold strokes in the annals of history will begin tomorrow and continue to be told...
