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

Chapter 464 "Red Mushroom" Nian Dingbang

Goods refer to intelligence provided by headquarters.

The warehouse, on the other hand, served as a point of contact.

These veiled messages are common tactics used by secret agents, and they are also the simplest methods, which Ye Shaohong naturally understood.

"So fast?"

"In my estimation, it would take at least a week to transmit the intelligence information from Manchuria to Shanghai."

"But only a few days have passed..."

"This shows that the Nanjing headquarters made a great decision and paid a considerable price."

Lost in thought, Ye Shaohong took out a match from his pocket and lit the note Zheng Yaoxian had left behind. Watching the paper turn to ash and slowly drift down, Ye Shaohong turned and left.

He changed into some ordinary civilian clothes, thought for a moment, then took out two Browning pistols, checked the bullets and safety, and then tucked them into his back pockets.

He did not say goodbye to Li Yunlong.

Because it is not necessary.

As someone in a superior position, one naturally enjoys certain privileges, such as they do now.

Is he impolite and disrespectful?

of course not.

He's just being mysterious.

Only by keeping his subordinates from figuring out his personality, controlling his methods, and knowing his actions can he better protect himself.

This is due to Ye Shaohong's caution and prudence, and also the inherent limitations of the special agent profession.

After leaving the villa at 68 Gisfield Road, Ye Shaohong did not take a rickshaw this time, but chose to walk.

He carefully observed his surroundings and the passersby.

They set off in the morning, taking detours and changing directions several times, until 10 a.m. when Ye Shaohong finally arrived at their group's secret hideout.

This is a place that both Ye Shaohong and Zheng Yaoxian know.

"Dong dong dong."

A rhythmic knocking sounded on the door, but no one came out of the warehouse to answer.

Ye Shaohong was not surprised or puzzled by this.

He didn't rush to leave.

Instead, he stopped what he was doing and waited for about four or five minutes before knocking on the door again.

"Dong dong dong."

This time, the situation is different.

The moment the knocking sounded, a voice asking a question came from inside the warehouse.

"Who?"

"what's up?"

The guards who remained in the warehouse were Ye Shaohong's old subordinates from his time in Jinling, and people he could trust.

Even so, the proper rules for meeting up should still be followed.

Is Mr. Chen here?

“I am a purchasing agent from Shanhe Trading Company. I have arranged a time to meet with him and I am here today to inspect the goods.”

The familiar voice, the correct secret code—as Ye Shaohong's voice faded, the tightly closed warehouse door in front of him finally opened a crack.

"Section Chief."

"Okay, let's go inside first and talk about it."

Ye Shaohong looked around to make sure no one was following him, then slipped through the crack in the door.

Only after the guards closed the warehouse door again did Ye Shaohong look ahead.

The situation was roughly as he had anticipated.

Zheng Yaoxian, who mysteriously disappeared in the morning, is now sitting quietly in the warehouse, leisurely sipping tea.

"coming?"

"Come and sit down, I just brewed some tea."

Zheng Yaoxian smiled, then pointed to the chair next to the table in front of him, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Sixth Brother, you're so inconsiderate." "You didn't even tell me when you left. I thought something had happened to you."

As they were talking, Ye Shaohong had already reached the table. He pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation.

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you."

"have a look."

As Zheng Yaoxian poured tea for Ye Shaohong, his gaze wandered over the file folder next to the tea table.

It means letting Ye Shaohong do it himself.

"Hey."

Ye Shaohong shook his head, not angry at all, since Zheng Yaoxian was his sixth brother.

So what if you have a bad temper?

Even if he wanted to resist or find fault, he didn't have the confidence to back down.

Besides... there's no need to argue about these things regarding their relationship. Picking up the teacup from the table, Ye Shaohong took a small sip, savoring the slight bitterness that rose in his mouth before transforming into a fragrant aroma. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.

"good!"

"This year's new tea, pre-rain Longjing, may not be considered particularly precious, but in these times of war, it's already quite rare to find tea of ​​this quality in the Shanghai area."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yaoxian paused slightly in his movements, then shook his head helplessly.

"I forgot."

“You’re a son of a wealthy family from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You’ve been used to a life of luxury since you were a child. Even the best things are just commonplace to you.”

"I shouldn't have taken it out and let you, kid, comment on it and appreciate it. It's pointless."

After saying that, Zheng Yaoxian stopped talking.

Because he had already seen Ye Shaohong pick up the folder on the table and tear off the seal and ink.

"what?"

"Why are there bloodstains on this blueprint?"

"Did our comrades in Manchuria encounter danger when they obtained this blueprint?"

After taking out the underground waterway design drawings of the Hongkou Army and Navy Command from the document bag, Ye Shaohong did not rush to check the documents. Instead, he first focused his attention on the folded drawings.

"Well, this mission was too urgent, and the time allotted by the higher-ups was limited. The guys in Manchuria had no choice but to resort to some special methods."

"We did lose some manpower and encounter some danger, but it wasn't a big deal for that person."

Zheng Yaoxian nodded, responding in a seemingly casual manner.

"Oh?" "Sixth Brother, you think highly of this person. What kind of person is he that he could catch your eye?"

Ye Shaohong tried to recall the spy dramas about the War of Resistance against Japan in Northeast China, but there were too few of them, and he couldn't think of any specific characters for the time being.

"It's a red mushroom."

"Hey, you wouldn't know him anyway. He was ordered to infiltrate Northeast China as early as 1935."

"You hadn't joined the Secret Service yet back then, so you definitely didn't know him."

Zheng Yaoxian opened his mouth, wanting to explain in detail to Ye Shaohong, but then suddenly remembered the time when the two were out of sync, and lost interest in explaining, simply responding with a few words.

"Red mushroom?"

"Nian Dingbang from the spy drama 'Minus Thirty-Eight Degrees'?"

"It's him. No wonder he was able to complete such a difficult task in such a short time." "This one is said to be a trusted and beloved subordinate of Director Dai Yunong. His code name is even related to the director's beautiful actress, Hu Die."
