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

Chapter 427 A Well-Deserved Reputation

After finishing his call with Zhou Min, Ye Shaohong turned and looked towards the warehouse area.

In his line of sight, a fierce battle was raging in the warehouse district.

Gunshots and shouts of killing were heard incessantly.

Although most of the guards in the warehouse area had been transferred, there were still more than thirty people left.

These people were able to organize an effective defense by relying on the trenches they had dug in advance.

They could have held out for a while.

The problem was that they underestimated Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng.

Both men were skilled marksmen. Chi Tiecheng's marksmanship, in particular, far surpassed that of ordinary people; while not exactly a perfect shot, it was practically flawless.

With their leadership, the field agents of the Special Operations Department were even more motivated to fight.

Ten minutes later.

The defenses of the warehouse area were breached.

Most of the thirty-odd men stationed there died in the gunfire.

The dozen or so surviving wounded and prisoners were also escorted away by Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng.

In this battle, the Special Service also suffered heavy losses.

A total of seven field agents were killed in action.

They were all Ye Shaohong's old team from his time in Jinling. The sacrifice of even one of them would be enough to cause Ye Shaohong unbearable heartache.

But what could they do? This was the price they had to pay. After cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the bodies of their fallen comrades, Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng didn't have time for much grief. Zhou Min gathered her convoy and sped over.

Accompanying the convoy were loading and unloading personnel from Tianhe Trading Company.

There are more than 300 people.

They originally didn't want to come out to work.

Shanghai is now in complete chaos. Workers who were supposed to be working near the Zhabei warehouse district have all gone home early.

But Zhou Min received too much money.

You can earn five silver dollars for a day's work.

This is more than their usual ten days' wages.

However, this mission is also quite peculiar.

Before these people came, Zhou Minshou specifically instructed them that once they arrived at the Zhabei warehouse district, no matter who they met or what they were asked to do, they should not ask any questions.

Zhou Min's cooperation saved Ye Shaohong a lot of trouble.

Xiao Zhengguo and Chi Tiecheng had already received Ye Shaohong's orders. Once the vehicles and personnel were all in place, they took the intelligence information that Li Yunlong had already gathered and opened the warehouses they had selected.

He began directing the laborers and drivers to load and unload goods.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

With the generous reward promised by Zhou Min, these laborers didn't meddle in other people's business and turned into ruthless machines.

In just one day, they loaded all the goods from the seven warehouses onto trucks and transported them away.

It was transported to the suburbs of Shanghai that Ye Shaohong had already selected.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong finally felt a little relieved.

However, he did not neglect or slack off.

He remained hidden in that secluded little building, keeping an eye on the situation in the distance while constantly contacting the Shanghai concessions by phone.

"Jingle Bell."

The phone rang, and Ye Shaohong picked it up.

"Section Chief."

"Things have changed."

"Starting at noon today, a mysterious force suddenly intervened and joined this chaotic situation."

"Since I noticed something was wrong and arranged for people to investigate, this mysterious force has already made a series of moves, assassinating three traitors in the Japanese concession."

"And they show no signs of stopping."

The caller was Zhuang Yifan. With Xu Tian overseeing the planning and his connections to the gang's intelligence network, he was better informed.

They immediately noticed something was wrong.

"A mysterious force?"

Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow; he wasn't surprised by this situation.

Because he had anticipated it.

In Ye Shaohong's view, Shanghai is a big city with many smart people.

Even if he set up many illusions to divert everyone's attention, it's still hard to guarantee that no one will notice anything amiss.

Those people probably realized his true purpose.

But the waters in Shanghai are already murky, and they still have the ability to join in the fun and fish in troubled waters.

So far, only one mysterious force has emerged, which is already quite rare in Ye Shaohong's opinion.

After all, Shanghai in this era was more than just the largest city in the Far East.

It is also an internationally renowned intelligence center.

Besides the Nationalist government and the Japanese, other countries' forces also placed intelligence agents on this land.

This includes, but is not limited to, the United States and Russia.

There are also some international organizations.

They all have their own needs and their own purposes.

Seeing the unrest in Shanghai, these people will not remain idle and will inevitably take action.

There are just many things that Zhuang Yifan hasn't realized yet.

Ye Shaohong's silence made Zhuang Yifan on the other end of the phone very anxious. He waited for a while, but still did not receive a reply from Ye Shaohong. Finally, he could not help but ask a question.

"Section Chief?"

"Should we intervene and stop them? If they act recklessly like this, they'll disrupt our plans."

Zhuang Yifan's urging brought Ye Shaohong back to his senses.

He frowned, glanced out the window, and only looked away when he saw that nothing unusual had happened on the main road outside the warehouse area.

"no need."

"I have a rough idea of ​​who they are."

"Isn't Mr. Xu right here beside you? What's his opinion on this matter?"

Zhuang Yifan was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, seemingly discussing something with Xu Tian. After a while, a soft sigh finally came from Zhuang Yifan on the other end of the phone.

"Section Chief."

Mr. Xu said that we don't need to worry about this matter.

"It's just that someone is taking advantage of the situation."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's assessment, Ye Shaohong smiled. "That's right."

His judgment was the same as Xu Tian's, and because of the difference in intelligence, Ye Shaohong's judgment was more insightful than Xu Tian's.

The phrase "taking advantage of someone's misfortune" is used brilliantly.

If Ye Shaohong's guess is correct, the people who took advantage of the chaos to make their move this time should be the Shanghai station of the Special Service.

To be more precise, it is very likely his "fifth brother" Wang Tianfeng.

If it really is him, then Wang Tianfeng's involvement this time is not just about killing a few people on the surface.

While completing his mission, he might also have to take a piece of flesh from Ye Shaohong.

Stealing credit.

Ye Shaohong didn't mind. If Wang Tianfeng really was taking advantage of the chaos to make a move, then it was Wang Tianfeng's skill to steal some benefits and credit.

The name "Poisonous Bee" is well-deserved.

For Ye Shaohong, Wang Tianfeng's involvement, in the short term, brings more benefits than risks.

Perhaps it can buy him more time.
