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

Chapter 432 A Strong Response

Upon receiving Zhuang Yifan's warning call, Ye Shaohong did not rush to take immediate action but instead fell into deep thought.

After a while.

He then opened his mouth to respond.

Where is Mr. Xu?

"With such a major change occurring, didn't he tell you how to resolve it?"

Ye Shaohong underestimated the capabilities of these national institutions, and even more so the attitude of these colonial officials in protecting their own interests, but he still did not want to give up easily.

So he thought of Xu Tian.

In this spy drama, Ye Shaohong wanted to see how one of the few intellectually gifted characters would make a decision.

"Mr. Xu?"

"Mr. Xu had an urgent matter to attend to and is not at Xianlesi now."

Zhuang Yifan on the other end of the phone was helpless. He hadn't expected that the situation would change so drastically so soon after Xu Tian left.

This caught him somewhat off guard.

"out?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Mr. Xu and I have already discussed it, and he will stay in Xianles during the operation."

"Why would you suddenly have to go out?"

"Who called him out?"

Ye Shaohong was stunned. It was the first time he felt that things were slipping out of his control.

"He is a police officer."

“When he came to the Cinque Terre to see Mr. Xu, my men happened to be nearby. Judging from how Mr. Xu addressed him, it seemed to be called Tie Lin.”

Zhuang Yifan was quite reliable in his work. Although he couldn't stop Xu Tian from leaving, he did manage to find out the truth of the matter.

"Tie Lin?"

"Damn, what's he doing here at a time like this?"

"Oh right, I remember now. In the spy drama, after Tie Lin and Xu Tian met, he asked Xu Tian for help to solve cases more than once."

"Could it be that some new case has occurred in the French Concession, and it has landed on Tie Lin?"

With doubts in his mind, Ye Shaohong did not delay or hesitate and immediately asked Zhuang Yifan.

Zhuang Yifan was also a little confused.

He's been quite busy these past couple of days, having to arrange for people to keep an eye on things in the various concessions in Shanghai while also fighting and expanding his territory outside.

Therefore, he became somewhat oblivious to what was happening on the street.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's question, Zhuang Yifan immediately went out and called over the staff left at the Xianles Ballroom to inquire about the situation.

That's when I learned the details.

Back in his office, Zhuang Yifan picked up the phone again and told Ye Shaohong the information he had just gathered.

"Section Chief, you really guessed it."

"This afternoon, Tie Lin's father, Lao Tie, went missing. Tie Lin searched for a long time but could not find his father's whereabouts."

"That's why he thought of Xu Tian and wanted Xu Tian's help to find his father."

Upon learning this news, Ye Shaohong immediately fell into deep thought. He still had some impression of Lao Tie from the spy drama.

When watching spy dramas before, Ye Shaohong had a question in his mind: Tie Lin's father, Lao Tie, seemed very ordinary. How could he become sworn brothers with Hua, the detective chief of the Mai Lan Police Station?

If it is said that they met when they were both humble beginnings, had a deep bond at the time, and became sworn brothers, then that would be plausible.

But if you think about it more deeply, things don't seem right.

Who is Lao Liao in the red spy drama? He is a typical opportunist who would betray his principles for personal gain.

The owner of the Cinque Terre d'Or, Master Qi, was the agent he personally promoted.

They must have a very deep relationship.

However, when Seventh Master harmed Lao Liao's interests, Lao Liao did not hesitate to use Jin Ye's power to eliminate Seventh Master.

This shows how ruthless he is. Even though Tie Lin was constantly causing him trouble, Lao Liao never went after Tie Lin and even secretly protected him several times.

Was it really just because Tie Lin's father was his sworn brother?

This is too ridiculous.

There is another scene in the TV series where Tie Lin has a conversation with his father. Old Tie once solemnly warned Tie Lin not to believe old news.

Is this what sworn brothers look like?

One who holds a high position can ruthlessly eliminate his business partners, yet he shows great forbearance and protection towards the son of his sworn brother.

A sworn brother who is at the bottom of society but is always wary of him despite his good care for him.

The emotional entanglement between these two is too bizarre.

This doesn't seem like a scene from a high-IQ drama like a revolutionary spy thriller. Unless, the spy drama removed some of the original plot points and concealed the past of these two fraternal brothers.

If that's the case, then what is Lao Tie hiding?

What's the story behind his mysterious disappearance this time?

Ye Shaohong couldn't find out the truth, but one thing he was sure of was that Lao Tie was definitely not in danger. His mysterious disappearance at this crucial moment likely had its own purpose.

Hopefully, Xu Tian can find some clues or traces.

There was a faint sigh in my heart.

Then Ye Shaohong calmed his chaotic thoughts. He knew that the situation had developed to this point, and he could no longer afford to delay.

"Yifan, can you contact Yunlong?"

"can."

“Alright, then you can pass on an order to Yunlong for me, tell him it’s time to take action.” “Wasn’t this multinational ministerial conference proposed by the Japanese? Let’s start with them.”

"Let him make a big fuss, so that those Japanese and Westerners will remember this lesson!"

After saying that, Ye Shaohong hung up the phone.

As soon as his order was given, Li Yunlong, who was hiding in the British Concession, also received Ye Shaohong's message.

"The operation has been brought forward?"

"Did something go wrong?"

Li Yunlong was somewhat puzzled, but even though he was puzzled, he didn't think of asking.

After hanging up the call with Zhuang Yifan, Li Yunlong emerged from his hiding place, dressed in a black, form-fitting night suit, and disappeared into the darkness in a few steps.

Eight o'clock that night.

Just as the ministers of Britain, the United States, Japan, France, and Italy were busy negotiating and preparing to jointly suppress the chaos in Shanghai, a thunderous roar suddenly reached their ears.

It also interrupted their shouting and fighting.

Shortly thereafter, the personal attendants of these envoys received new information.

They rushed into the conference room, found their respective masters, and whispered the information they had just received into their ears.

"What? The Japanese consulate was bombed?"

"These thugs are too arrogant! How did they manage to get a bomb into the consulate?"

"Baka, these bastards."

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the ambassadors of Britain, the United States, France, and Italy, though inwardly terrified, managed to maintain their composure on the surface. However, the ambassadors of the Japanese consulates who participated in the meeting were not so fortunate.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up. After cursing angrily, the Japanese consulate ambassador, who was just over 1.5 meters tall, immediately turned and left the conference room with his entourage.

An emergency meeting and consultation among several countries had to be abandoned midway due to this sudden explosion.

They once again witnessed Ye Shaohong's ruthless style.

Faced with the current chaos in Shanghai and the increasingly out-of-control situation, the ministers of several countries instantly reached a tacit understanding.

I don't plan to get involved for the time being.

Anyway, that mysterious group of thugs has been targeting the Japanese, so let the Japanese bear it alone for now.

Once that group of mysterious villains has achieved their goal and completely shut down or disappeared, it would be acceptable for them to step in and stabilize the situation on the streets.

As for the financial losses, as long as Shanghai remains a concession, they will always find a way to make up for them in the future.
