Chapter 442 Unexpected Changes

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's question, Li Yunlong paused slightly in the act of stubbing out his cigarette.

Then calm returned.

"Everything is ready."

"As long as the section chief gives the order, I can start the final deployment at any time."

Li Yunlong's brief moment of distraction did not escape Ye Shaohong's eyes, and Ye Shaohong immediately raised his eyebrows.

"how?"

"Relenting?"

"This is not like you, Li Yunlong. Don't forget, you are the King of Bandits in the North. Before joining the Special Service, your hands were stained with the blood of many people."

"Why are you scared now that things are about to happen?"

Ye Shaohong gave him a cold glance, which immediately caused Li Yunlong's expression to change drastically. He no longer dared to sit calmly in the chair as before, facing Ye Shaohong directly.

Instead, he stood up, a look of fear and dread on his face.

"Section Chief, you've misunderstood me."

"I didn't soften my heart, I just..."

Li Yunlong wanted to explain, but Ye Shaohong interrupted him as soon as he finished speaking.

"You just don't want to see me take action against ordinary people, right?"

"And if this final plan is actually launched, the number of dead and injured will likely reach tens of thousands?"

Ye Shaohong did not directly blame Li Yunlong. He remained seated by the window, gazing into the darkness in the distance under the bright moonlight.

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to argue or lie in front of Ye Shaohong and gave an honest answer.

"Ah!"

Ye Shaohong let out a cold laugh.

He suddenly raised his hand and flicked it, sending a pebble flying that hit a sparrow that happened to be flying past the window.

Seeing the sparrow fall headfirst, Ye Shaohong turned around for the first time and looked at Li Yunlong.

Have you ever heard the saying?

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

“Those Japanese devils, you may see them as human beings, but in my eyes, Ye Shaohong, they are nothing but beasts.”

“If an operation can save us a lot of lives, I don’t mind being the villain.”

"I don't mind leaving a bad name for posterity."

After speaking softly, Ye Shaohong had no intention of continuing the conversation with Li Yunlong. He waved his hand, and Li Yunlong tactfully turned and left.

Watching Li Yunlong's figure walk into the street and eventually disappear into the night, Ye Shaohong sighed softly.

Don't be fooled by how cold and tyrannical he portrays himself to Li Yunlong.

But only he knew that when he said these words, his mind was not at peace. Ye Shaohong would not have wanted to start the final operation unless he was forced into a corner.

Because that's too cruel.

If he had actually done it, even if the matter hadn't been exposed, his life would likely have been far from peaceful.

If it gets exposed... Okay.

There's no need to think about it anymore. If that day really comes, the first person who will probably want to kill him is Dai Yunong.

"We'll see."

Ye Shaohong got up and added some hot water to his cup, then picked up the telephone on the table once more.

"Is it Yifan?"

"How are things going on where you are? How much longer can that old bastard Zhang Xiaolin live?"

A cold voice rang out, but there was no immediate reply from the other end of the phone.

A moment later, a sound was heard.

"it's me."

"I have bad news for you. After visiting Zhang Xiaolin, Yifan was ambushed by a robber on his way back to Xianlesi. He's injured."

"She just had surgery and hasn't woken up yet."

The person who answered Ye Shaohong's call was Xu Tian. His voice sounded somewhat tired, and he seemed a little confused as he recounted the incident.

"Yifan is injured?"

"How is he? Do you know who did it?"

Ye Shaohong frowned. To be honest, his heart skipped a beat when he first heard the news.

Ye Shaohong admitted that he was indeed somewhat worried.

But he must remain calm, because the current situation does not allow him to leave this place without permission.

"It's alright, don't worry."

"Yifan was only shot in the shoulder, and due to excessive blood loss, he fell into a brief coma."

"But three of his teammates who left with him were killed."

"As for who did it, Yifan mentioned it to me when he came back. It seems to have been Wu Dabao."

Xu Tian didn't mince words and told Ye Shaohong everything he knew.

"Wu Dabao?"

"Isn't that Zhang Xiaolin's godson-in-law?"

Why would he try to kill Yifan? Was it a power struggle within the gang, or was there some other hidden reason?

Ye Shaohong asked the question that had been bothering him, his face cold.

"do not know."

"I'm a little confused now; it seems like things have changed a bit."

"I have now ordered the staff at the Cinque de la Cour to reduce their defenses, so we have cut off all contact with the outside world."

Xu Tian responded on the phone, his voice tinged with exhaustion. It was clear that something so serious had happened at the Xianles Ballroom that he wouldn't be able to rest tonight.

"Wu Dabao?"

"Xu Tian, ​​there should still be some people around at Xianles's place, right?"

"Have them investigate Sai Jinhua, Zhang Xiaolin's first wife. This woman is not easy to deal with. I suspect that Wu Dabao's attack on Yifan this time may be related to this old witch."

"If it's confirmed, don't hesitate, immediately arrange for people to settle accounts and take revenge on her!"

"Also, once Yifan wakes up, no matter how late it is, have him call me so I can confirm the details with him."

After saying that, Ye Shaohong hung up the phone.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows. "It's the second day."

"Hold on for one more day, and by midnight tomorrow, this operation will be completely over."

"I hope it won't cause too much noise."

Ye Shaohong muttered to himself here.

Zhuang Yifan's assassination attempt and subsequent coma caused a temporary disruption in his intelligence network regarding the various concessions in Shanghai, making it impossible for him to stay informed. Even with Xu Tian in charge at the Xianles Ballroom, and the two of them working together to defend and attack, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

Fortunately, just then, someone suddenly appeared.

On the silent street, a familiar figure suddenly appeared. The person walked slowly but very steadily.

He walked a few steps to the small building where Ye Shaohong was hiding.

Then he raised his head.

Just as Ye Shaohong noticed, before he could take any action, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Shaohong. "Seventh Brother!"

"Looks like you're in trouble. Do you want me to lend a hand?"
