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

Chapter 446 Cooperation and Compromise

Wang Tianfeng is gone.

Ye Shaohong personally came downstairs to see him off.

Watching his slender figure slowly disappear into the night, Ye Shaohong still clutched those photos in his hand.

The images in these photos are all different.

There are men and women.

There are candid shots from afar, as well as close-up shots.

What's most unusual is that there's even an office building inside.

And this was the deal that Wang Tianfeng presented when he came to meet Ye Shaohong.

This old fox had clearly guessed, or rather, almost completely grasped, all the details of Ye Shaohong's operation.

Therefore, the conditions he offered also hit Ye Shaohong's weak spot.

This left Ye Shaohong with no possibility of refusing.

But it's okay.

Wang Tianfeng's request wasn't too difficult, at least not to the point that would make Ye Shaohong feel bad.

"We'll know the outcome by noon tomorrow."

"If Wang Tianfeng can complete this transaction as he promised, I wouldn't mind having Li Yunlong and Xu Tian go together."

After muttering to himself, Ye Shaohong withdrew his gaze from the distance, tidied up the photos in his hand, and put them into the pocket of his shirt.

Then they turned back to the small building behind them.

More than half an hour later, the telephone rang urgently.

Ye Shaohong picked up the old-fashioned telephone, and Zhuang Yifan's slightly tired and weak voice immediately came through.

"Section Chief."

"Yes, it's me. How are your injuries?"

"Fortunately, I was bitten by a mosquito, but it didn't break any bones. I did lose a lot of blood, though. After the mission is over, I should be able to recover after a few days of rest."

"That's alright. Don't be careless. If you need anything, you can come to me directly."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ye Shaohong stopped wasting time with Zhuang Yifan, as they were too familiar with each other to need such vague pleasantries.

He immediately asked Zhuang Yifan about the assassination attempt on the way.

Things went much as Ye Shaohong had predicted. The person who made the move was indeed Wu Dabao, but the mastermind behind it was Zhang Xiaolin's first wife, Sai Jinhua.

As for the reason, it's quite simple: when Zhuang Yifan went to visit Zhang Xiaolin, Zhang Xiaolin suddenly proposed to carve out a portion of the territory he had conquered in the past few days and hand it over to Wu Dabao to manage.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Xiaolin saw that Zhuang Yifan's power was growing too fast and wanted to suppress and curb him.

Zhuang Yifan was naturally unwilling to agree to this request.

Why should he hand over the territory he built with his fists to someone else just because of a single word from that old bastard Zhang Xiaolin?

It should still be handed over to Wu Dabao, that gigolo.

Zhang Xiaolin was very unhappy because of Zhuang Yifan's explicit refusal, which also made Sai Jinhua very dissatisfied.

This led to Wu Dabao leading his men to ambush and kill Zhuang Yifan on the way.

"Section Chief, three of our men have died. We can't let this go unpunished."

After recounting the whole story, Zhuang Yifan's tone suddenly changed, his voice becoming noticeably colder, and then he unleashed the overwhelming killing intent within him.

He made his request to Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong did not refuse him.

"Don't worry, I'll remember this grudge."

"Once this mission is over and your injuries have healed, I will let you take revenge yourself."

After calming Zhuang Yifan's agitated state with just a few simple words, Ye Shaohong then inquired about the situation in the British, French, American, Japanese, and Italian concessions.

Because Zhuang Yifan was attacked and fell into a coma, his forces retreated back to their base.

This created a temporary gap in Ye Shaohong's intelligence network. His most pressing task now is to rebuild this information channel. Only by keeping abreast of the situation in each concession can Ye Shaohong sit at the terminal and command everything with greater peace of mind.

"Fortunately."

“After I woke up, when Mr. Xu mentioned this matter and that you called to inquire, I immediately dispersed them all again.”

"We've just gathered some information, and for the time being, there haven't been any major changes in the various concessions."

"The only thing that needs our attention is the new head of the Special Higher Police Section of the Japanese Concession, Mieko Sakai, who has been shot again and hospitalized."

"My men haven't gotten the specific details yet. All we know is that someone laid an ambush beforehand. The military police and Special Higher Police personnel that Sakai Mieko brought suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for her trusted subordinates risking their lives to protect her, Sakai Mieko would have almost died in that explosion." Mentioning this matter, Zhuang Yifan's mood finally recovered a little, and his tone of voice became somewhat cheerful.

"Ah!"

"That woman, Mieko Sakai, is really lucky."

"She was seriously injured in three consecutive attempts to kill her, but she managed to escape each time."

Zhuang Yifan didn't know the truth, but Ye Shaohong did. He had specifically called Special Agent Group No. 5 today to discuss the action plan with Gao Han, all for the purpose of killing this fat, lazy, and idle disciple of the Japanese spy.

wrong.

Mieko Sakai is now disfigured; her face is half human and half demon.

She's no longer a spy.

However, this woman was indeed very lucky. The explosion of the Izumo battleship, Chi Tiecheng's assassination attempt, and Ye Shaohong's personally planned ambush all failed to kill her.

Is this also the kind of luck that famous villains in TV dramas have?

"Okay, I understand."

"You don't need to send anyone to find out the details anymore, because this operation was also planned by me."

"It's late, you should get some rest too."

After a brief chat, Ye Shaohong offered Zhuang Yifan a few more words of comfort before hanging up the phone.

Then he looked at the old-fashioned wall clock hanging on the wall.

As it was getting close to midnight, Ye Shaohong yawned and went straight into the bathroom.

After washing up and brushing his teeth, he lay down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Wang Tianfeng returned to the small building where he was hiding and met with his trusted subordinates.

"Let's take action." "I want to hear news of those people's deaths before noon tomorrow."

"Also, have the bombs I asked you to plant in the Chinese-controlled area been put in place?"

"Okay! As long as it's settled."

"Detonate these bombs at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Don't ask me why. Just do it obediently. I only have one requirement: make a big commotion, the bigger the better!"

"By the way, contact the police station in the Chinese-speaking area and have them arrange manpower to cooperate in the operation. I want to put the Chinese-speaking area on high alert!"
