Chapter 454 An Accidental Encounter with Zhou Weiguo

With their current personnel strength, it is absolutely impossible for Ye Shaohong and his team to destroy the enemy's command headquarters in the heart of the war-torn battlefield.

Then we'll have to think of another way.

The first method Ye Shaohong thought of was to disguise himself and send someone to sneak into the Hongkou Army and Navy Headquarters amidst the chaos.

However, this idea only flashed through Ye Shaohong's mind for a fleeting moment before he gave up on it.

There's no other reason than that it's too difficult to operate.

That's right.

The Hongkou Army and Navy Headquarters is currently experiencing a high volume of personnel coming and going due to the war, which may lead to some disorder. However, the Japanese should not be underestimated.

The Japanese are known worldwide for their dullness and rigidity.

Even in the most chaotic battles, they will not relax their defensive posture; it's just that the gaps in their defenses are slightly larger.

In this situation, sending people in shouldn't be difficult, but bringing in enough explosives to destroy the army and navy headquarters would be extremely difficult.

It is absolutely not feasible.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong also had to admit that he did not have a suitable candidate among his current team to carry out this disguise and infiltration mission.

Of course.

Just because his team members are not good enough doesn't mean that the others are not good enough.

Putting everything else aside, Ma Yunfei of Special Agent Group No. 5, known as the Prince of a Thousand Faces, had served as a military attaché in the Nationalist government's consulate in Japan. He should be able to infiltrate the area.

But Ye Shaohong couldn't very well let Ma Yunfei carry out this mission that would inevitably lead to his death.

Ma Yunfei and Special Agent Group No. 5 probably wouldn't agree to that either.

That being the case.

Then we'll have to try a different approach.

They infiltrated using special methods, leaving no trace.

Then Ye Shaohong thought of an underground water pipe network.

In the Kite storyline, it was mentioned that when Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian infiltrated the Japanese concession, assassinated the military police captain, and retreated, they encountered danger and hid in underground water pipes for several days.

It is conceivable that the Japanese concession now has a well-developed underground water pipe network.

What about the Army and Navy Commands?

There probably are. After all, there are quite a few staff members at the Army and Navy Command in Hongkou, and they need to maintain their normal living needs. It would be impossible without a drainage pipe network.

Having thought this through, Ye Shaohong made a decision.

He issued the order directly.

Instruct Xiao Zhengguo to immediately arrange for his men to search for the underground pipelines of the Army and Navy Command along the coast in the Hongkou area.

Then he ordered Chi Tiecheng to lead a team to try to find the underground pipeline design drawings of the Army and Navy Commands.

Both of these tasks are quite dangerous.

Ye Shaohong didn't want them to lose their lives because of recklessness and carelessness.

So he gave Xiao Zhengguo a special instruction: when sending people to search for the drainage pipe openings on the beach, they should not ask around directly, and they should keep their identities and whereabouts hidden.

We mustn't let the Japanese find out. As for Chi Tiecheng, his task was to find the underground pipeline design plans for the Army and Navy Commands.

According to the traditional customs of the Japanese, for such large-scale urban projects, the design drawings should be kept as backups, and the drawings are usually kept in government departments.

We could send someone in to search first, and if there's an opportunity, steal it.

Or make a copy.

If it's impossible to steal or make a copy, then we'll have to find another way.

Finding the designers or construction workers from that time is also a possible approach.

Of course.

Finding the design drawings is not the real purpose.

Ye Shaohong had already instructed Xiao Zhengguo to send people to find the water outlet of the pipeline, so he was confident he could find a way to enter the underground pipeline. His real purpose in searching for the design drawings was to find the key supporting nodes in the design drawings.

Only by finding the key support points and then using gunpowder to create an explosion can there be a chance of completing the task assigned to him by Dai Yunong.

After giving him careful instructions, Ye Shaohong got up and left.

The orders that needed to be given have already been given, and there's no need for Ye Shaohong to stay here and wait for news.

Since he was already in the French Concession, Ye Shaohong decided to take the opportunity to visit the Triangle Market.

Go see Xu Tian.

After all, he also had another task on his shoulders.

That was to assist Wang Tianfeng in assassinating Feng Zixiong, a task he had previously assigned to Xu Tian and Li Yunlong.

These past few days, Ye Shaohong had been staying at his villa at 68 Gisfield Road and hadn't paid much attention to the matter. He figured he might as well go and check it out today since he was passing by.

Ye Shaohong was quite familiar with the French Concession, because it was the first place he stayed after infiltrating Shanghai.

And his current company happens to be located within the French Concession.

So this time, he didn't choose to take a rickshaw again, but instead traveled light and walked the rest of the way.

Along the way, Ye Shaohong saw many more refugees.

He was already familiar with this.

He didn't have many thoughts for the time being, but walking on the street, he could feel the covetous and prying eyes of others from time to time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When people are driven to the brink of despair, they may harbor many evil thoughts.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After walking for about half an hour, Ye Shaohong finally arrived at the vegetable market at the Tongfuli Triangle.

The result disappointed him greatly.

Ye Shaohong couldn't find Xu Tian at the Tongfuli Triangle Market. He asked around and found out that Xu Tian had resigned from the market.

Then he went to Xu Tian's old house in Tongfu Lane, but Xu Tian had rented out the entire old house.

Xu Tian has disappeared?

He ignored Ye Shaohong's orders and ran away?

Do not!

Ye Shaohong didn't believe it, because he knew Xu Tian's temperament well, so the reason was easy to explain.

After agreeing to Ye Shaohong's request to recruit him, Xu Tian began to consider the future.

They're trying to settle his family. But if that happens, will Xu Tian's true love still appear, and will they still become entangled with each other for life?

Don't let Xu Tian, ​​a straightforward man in the world of love, end up alone for the rest of his life because of Ye Shaohong. If that happens, Ye Shaohong will feel ashamed.

Having not met Xu Tian, ​​Ye Shaohong gave up. In any case, Xu Tian would come to see him sooner or later to deliver the mission, so there was no need to dwell on this matter.

He turned around and went to the rouge shop opened by Yu Manli.

After spending half a day in the rouge shop, keeping Yu Manli company for a while, Ye Shaohong got up and left, heading towards the villa at 68 Gisfield Road.

On his way back home, he happened to pass by the pass between the French Concession and the Japanese Concession and saw the fierce street fighting between the Nationalist army and the Japanese.

With that one glance, Ye Shaohong spotted a familiar figure among the soldiers fighting in the alleyways. Zhou Weiguo!
