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

Chapter 467 Winning Hearts and Minds

One side is scheming and calculating, while the other is oblivious and ignorant.

In this situation, things progressed incredibly smoothly.

After their brief meeting, Ye Shaohong, led by the four brothers, entered the room.

Of the four brothers, only the middle-aged man who had lost an eye was the least injured, so he was in charge of arranging all the reception matters.

By the time he brought hot water from the kitchen, brewed the tea, and placed it on the table, Ye Shaohong had already subtly learned the identities of the four of them through his words.

Just as he had thought.

Among these four, there were indeed two professional engineers. They were Zhang Yihong, the eldest of the four brothers, and Pei Guangzhi, the youngest.

Their original unit was also an elite force within the Nationalist army. Although it wasn't a German-equipped division, it was still a direct subordinate unit of Chiang Kai-shek.

According to them, they were wounded and forced to retreat from the battlefield during the capture of the Yangshupu Tax Police Headquarters.

I originally intended to go to a medical facility in the rear to recuperate from my injuries.

During the evacuation, they were attacked by artillery shells from the Japanese devils and accidentally got separated from the main force while fleeing.

In order to survive, he secretly sneaked into the French Concession.

He then became acquainted with Ye Shaohong.

Knowing the whole story, Ye Shaohong's expression became even more serious. He hadn't forgotten the persona he had deliberately cultivated.

He lamented the cruelty of the battlefield while also sighing at the tragic fate of the four brothers. Unconsciously, he won over the four brothers even more with his admiration.

Seeing that the emotional buildup was in place, Ye Shaohong immediately changed his attitude and put on a troubled expression.

After a while.

He suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he had made a major decision.

Then Ye Shaohong suddenly stood up.

Facing the four brothers, Ye Shaohong suddenly stood at attention, raised his hand, and gave them a proper military salute under their astonished and puzzled gazes.

"The Special Operations Section of the Shanghai branch of the Nationalist Government's Secret Service greets you, brothers!"

“I am aware of your heroic deeds.”

"Later, when I return home, I will try to convey your merits and hardships to the Jinling headquarters. I will certainly not let my brothers shed blood and tears."

The heartfelt words spoken by Ye Shaohong through his sudden action immediately changed the expressions of the four brothers.

"You...you're a spy?"

"Big brother!"

Ye Shaohong's sudden self-disclosure left the four brothers in a brief state of shock and disbelief. Although they had already guessed that Ye Shaohong's identity was extraordinary.

But they never expected that Ye Shaohong actually came from the notorious secret service within the Nationalist government.

That's the secret service department that oversees military law and discipline.

To put it simply, given their status as deserters, Ye Shaohong had the right to enforce military law on them directly after they recounted the events in detail.

It's fair to say they ran right into the line of fire.

No wonder the four brothers in front of them suddenly changed their expressions and looked so flustered and helpless.

Ye Shaohong had anticipated this.

He saw the four brothers' panicked state, but did not take any further action.

It was as if he were in the midst of a raging storm, surrounded by four people who could suddenly attack him at any moment, yet he felt no fear whatsoever.

This scene immediately made the middle-aged man, who was blind in one eye, frown.

He raised his hand.

He stopped the other three brothers from speaking and stopped their actions.

Then he sighed softly again.

"I knew from the first night I saw you that you were no ordinary person."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have reserved a place for myself to escape and hide in Shanghai, and prepared food, medicine and weapons in advance."

Clearly, the four brothers had already guessed about Ye Shaohong's identity and reached a consensus.

They never expected that Ye Shaohong would come to their door so soon.

They never expected that Ye Shaohong's identity was so terrifying, which made him a perfect person to keep an eye on them.

"That night, I genuinely wanted to save you."

The change in circumstances was exactly what Ye Shaohong had anticipated; his revealing his identity was part of his plan.

After all, without detonating it, he would have no way of revealing the purpose of his visit today.

The attitude of these four people was actually quite good.

At least his previous deliberate guidance had some effect; his hypocritical and despicable act of self-deprecatingly criticizing Song Jiang won their empathy. Otherwise...

The moment Ye Shaohong revealed his identity, these four people, in order to protect themselves, would probably have immediately attacked him.

"You don't need to explain."

"We all believe in you."

“After all, we were all wearing tattered military uniforms that night. If you really wanted to attack us, we wouldn’t be alive today.”

Of the four brothers, the middle-aged man who was blind in one eye was the calmest and most objective.

He was the first to react.

After giving a brief response, his expression turned serious, and he looked intently at Ye Shaohong.

"benefactor."

"Regardless of your mindset before or now, we must admit that you did save us." "We appreciate this favor."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've come all this way today because you've run into trouble."

What do you want us to do for you?

"Just say what you need. We appreciate your kindness, and our lives are yours to keep. If you need us four brothers, we will do it without hesitation."

Who says that all street urchins are reckless?

The current situation is a prime example: ordinary people may not have read many books, but their abilities are constantly growing through their life experiences.

That's exactly the kind of man I'm talking about.

Just from Ye Shaohong's sudden revelation of his identity, he already realized the purpose of Ye Shaohong's visit.

They even asked the question that had been bothering them.

Faced with this question, Ye Shaohong suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

He found it difficult to speak.

But he was a professional soldier and a special agent, and for the sake of his mission, he had to be ruthless.

So he didn't hesitate and directly told everyone the purpose of his visit and the difficulties he had encountered.

"You mean you want us to help you blow up the East Japan Army and Navy Command in the Hongkou area?"

"What a bold plan!"

"As expected of the Special Service."

After listening to Ye Shaohong's detailed explanation and the tasks they might undertake, the four brothers' expressions became extremely solemn.

The middle-aged man who was blind in one eye remained silent for a long time before suddenly laughing.

He first expressed his feelings.

Then suddenly he raised his hand and slammed it on the table.

"Nothing to say."

"The four of us brothers will do it!"
