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

Chapter 461 Meeting with Zheng Yaoxian

The next morning.

Ye Shaohong, who had rested overnight, finally woke up in the rouge shop in the Tongfuli Triangle Market.

"It's already past nine o'clock?"

"That was a really good night's sleep."

After getting up and dressing, Ye Shaohong went to the kitchen to check, and sure enough, Yu Manli had prepared breakfast for him.

After a quick bite, he didn't say goodbye to Yu Manli and left directly through the back gate of the house. He first went to take a look at the trading company under his name.

After quickly dealing with the backlog of official business from the past few days, I stopped what I was doing. "Business is tough in these chaotic times."

"If it weren't for the support of some underground black market businesses, this trading company wouldn't be able to survive at all."

Looking at the trading company's detailed accounts, Ye Shaohong raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Then he looked up and gazed at the wall clock hanging on the wall.

I thought about it.

Ye Shaohong got up and went downstairs. After greeting the employees who were still busy inside the company, he walked and stopped along the way until he arrived at the entrance of the Rose Grand Theater.

Standing before the section introducing the plays, Ye Shaohong paused to take a look, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.

"It came pretty quickly."

"But the place where we agreed to meet is quite special."

After reviewing the information about his meeting with Zheng Yaoxian and learning the details, Ye Shaohong was no longer in a hurry. After all, the meeting was scheduled for the evening, and there were still several hours to go.

So Ye Shaohong wandered around the French Concession, and before he knew it, he arrived at the entrance of the Xianchan Grand Theater.

This is an extremely famous tourist attraction in old Shanghai.

It is also the most prestigious hall of the Peking Opera world in this era. Every Peking Opera actor considers performing at the Xianchan Grand Theater as the highest pursuit in life.

When Ye Shaohong came into this world, due to the lack of entertainment options, he did watch a play with other people.

To be honest, even with the memories of his predecessor, he really couldn't appreciate the classical Chinese opera.

Just because someone can't appreciate it doesn't mean they don't like it.

Ye Shaohong still holds these elders who have inherited the essence of ancient culture in high esteem.

Unlike the actors of later generations, who were often described as delicate and sickly, their appearance was truly pathetic and pitiful.

"Er Yuehong?"

"What's going on? Could it be the Second Master from the Nine Gates?"

"He came to Shanghai to perform on stage?"

Seeing the names of the actors specially marked on the playlist, Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow and became quite interested.

Without hesitation, he bought a ticket and went inside.

But as soon as Ye Shaohong stepped inside, he regretted it. Although this was a world of film and television, there weren't that many coincidences in the world.

The Er Yuehong who is performing on stage today is not the Second Master from the world of The Mystic Nine.

Instead, it was a female Qingyi (a type of female role in Peking Opera).

Her singing was indeed beautiful, and her figure was extremely graceful. The few opera fans who came to support her during the war were extremely enthusiastic. But Ye Shaohong really couldn't enjoy it.

Nestled in the private room, listening to the beautiful, melodious singing, he unknowingly fell asleep again.

When he woke up, it was already close to evening.

Ye Shaohong took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then couldn't help but curl his lip.

"Gather."

"I overslept. There's still half an hour until our agreed meeting time. If I'm late, I hope Sixth Brother won't scold me."

Despite saying that, Ye Shaohong didn't delay and hurriedly got up and left.

I hailed a rickshaw and went straight to the Dream Paris Cabaret.

After entering, Ye Shaohong did not rush to look for Zheng Yaoxian. Instead, he went to the bar and asked the bartender for a whiskey on the rocks.

As he drank, he looked with great interest toward the center of the dance hall.

Then Ye Shaohong saw a familiar and charming figure on the dance floor.

"Blue Rouge?"

"I have to say, this girl is really pretty."

Ye Shaohong had a good impression of this quirky little girl. Although she had a rather unusual temperament and could not be considered a genius in espionage, she was pleasing to the eye.

I wonder if she has joined the secret service yet?

Speaking of this...

Ye Shaohong suddenly remembered the famous Qingpu Special Training Class from a later TV series.

Following the course of history, it should be time to recruit students now.

There are a few very special talents in this Qingpu special training class, such as Yu Zecheng and Xu Zhongyi.

They also graduated from the Qingpu Special Training Class.

"I might go take a look if I have time."

"If it's really good, we can bring it under our wing ahead of time..."

As Ye Shaohong was deep in thought, an unfamiliar old man suddenly approached him.

The old man walked to the bar, didn't even glance at Ye Shaohong, and suddenly raised his hand to tap the table.

"Excuse me, buddy, a glass of rum on the rocks, please."

The old man's voice sounded very aged, but when it reached Ye Shaohong's ears, it instantly calmed Ye Shaohong's chaotic thoughts.

"Sixth...Sixth Master!"

"long time no see."

That's right, this unfamiliar old man is Zheng Yaoxian in disguise.

Ye Shaohong was able to see through Zheng Yaoxian's disguise not because Zheng Yaoxian's makeup and disguise skills were too poor, but simply because the two of them were too familiar with each other.

The mere similarity in tone was enough for Ye Shaohong to instantly recognize Zheng Yaoxian's identity.

"It's Xiao Qi."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's put today's score on your tab."

Zheng Yaoxian wasn't surprised or taken aback when Ye Shaohong recognized him. He picked up the glass the bartender handed him, turned around, leaned against the bar, and looked towards the center of the dance floor.

"how?"

"You've fallen for her. That girl is really nice, she looks quite spirited. If you'd like to get to know her, go over there."

"Don't miss the opportunity." Okay.

Zheng Yaoxian truly lives up to his reputation as the intellectual pinnacle of spy dramas; he astutely noticed Ye Shaohong's brief, intense gaze.

They even seized the opportunity to tease Ye Shaohong.

"Hey."

"I'd like to go and join in the fun, but this young lady comes from an extraordinary family. If I get too close, I'm afraid she won't even bother with me."

Ye Shaohong shook his head. He already had Yu Manli by his side, and he wasn't a womanizer. At this critical moment for the country, he had no intention of wasting his energy.

Yes... that's right, it's energy.

"Yo!"

"That's not easy. In this world, there are actually women that you, Xiao Qi, dare not flirt with?" "In that case, she has piqued my interest. When I have the chance, I will investigate her. If she is indeed suitable, I will introduce her to you."

The two chatted and laughed, seemingly commenting on Lan Yanzhi in the center of the dance floor, but in reality, they were discussing the task assigned by Dai Yunong.

The major event of bombing the headquarters of the Army and Navy in the Hongkou area.

As Zheng Yaoxian explained, he had just arrived in Shanghai and had not yet learned the specific details, so he could not provide Ye Shaohong with any further assistance at the moment.

However, Zheng Yaoxian also said that there was no rush and he would do his best to investigate.

After a brief conversation, the two took advantage of a moment when no one was looking to exchange temporary lodgings under the bar. Just as they were about to part ways, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the main entrance of the Night Paris cabaret.

Then a dozen or so fully equipped French Concession police officers rushed in like a pack of hungry wolves.
