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

Chapter 480 New Mission: Catching Spies

Lunch, personally overseen by Dai Yunong, quickly came to an end.

no way.

I had work to do in the afternoon.

With Dai Yunong present, even though it was a welcome banquet, no one dared to drink or act recklessly.

After a hasty meeting, the heads of each department left one after another, and Ye Shaohong followed Mao Renfeng to the director's office.

After closing the door, he gave Dai Yunong a detailed account of the entire operation.

Ye Shaohong also felt deeply regretful about the sudden turn of events. It was like missing out on hundreds of millions.

On the contrary, Dai Yunong, having seen and experienced many things, and with his increasing power, had become more open-minded about the matter.

He even had the leisure to comfort Ye Shaohong.

They said that Ye Shaohong was still young and would have many more opportunities to earn merit and receive awards in the future, so he shouldn't take this matter too seriously.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, it quickly became past one o'clock.

Sudden.

The telephone on Dai Yunong's desk rang, and a smile immediately appeared on Dai Yunong's lips.

He turned back a few steps, picked up the phone, and a respectful expression appeared on his face.

"Good good."

"Your subordinates will be on high alert and ensure the successful completion of this reception mission." After hanging up the phone, Dai Yunong turned to look at Ye Shaohong, his smile deepening.

"Shao Hong".

"You have fifteen minutes to go wash up and change your clothes."

"The Chairman and his wife will be here soon."

"You must come with me to the door to greet them personally."

Ye Shaohong had already learned about this from Xu Baichuan, and he didn't dare to hesitate. He stood up, saluted in response, and immediately left the room.

Twenty minutes later.

A convoy of seven or eight heavily guarded vehicles slowly drove into Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

The bald-headed Chairman, accompanied by his second wife and numerous high-ranking officials of the Nationalist government, entered Villa No. 1 of the Honggong Temple.

"Chairman." "Hmm."

"Yu Nong, to be honest, this is the third time I've come to your secret service in the last two months."

“Every time I come here, it’s to present you with awards and medals.”

"Your secret service is doing a very good job."

The bald-headed chairman knew how to win people's hearts. With just a few simple words, he reached the ears of the heads of various departments of the Special Service Department, and immediately brought smiles to their faces.

"This is all thanks to Chiang Kai-shek's teachings."

"I feel ashamed."

Dai Yunong was a smart man, and of course he wanted to make the most of such a public opportunity.

A subtle compliment made the Chairman beam with delight; under the sunlight, his shiny bald head seemed to reflect a dazzling light.

After the perfunctory pleasantries, everyone entered the auditorium together.

There's not much to say about the process of awarding medals and promotions; Ye Shaohong has already received them several times recently.

This time, however, is slightly different.

The number of high-ranking officials accompanying the Chairman was greater than ever before.

After the ceremony, not only did the Chairman and his wife meet with Ye Shaohong warmly and offer words of encouragement, but even the bigwigs from other agencies of the Nationalist government looked at Ye Shaohong with new respect.

It has received much praise.

Having seen many such cases, Ye Shaohong gradually figured out the patterns and became more relaxed and natural in dealing with them.

From beginning to end, Dai Yunong stayed by Ye Shaohong's side.

He also benefited a lot from Ye Shaohong's influence.

This caused many high-ranking officials in the Nationalist government, who had previously harbored deep resentment towards the Secret Service's espionage activities, to change their attitudes for the first time. For once, one of them even spoke a few more words with Dai Yunong.

This alone was enough to make Dai Yunong ecstatic.

After everyone left, the heads of the various departments of the Special Service Department in the auditorium also dispersed one after another, and Ye Shaohong was about to return home.

But don't want to.

He was stopped by Dai Yunong once again.

"What's going on?"

"At lunchtime, that old fox Dai Yunong told me to rest for two days first."

"Why are you causing trouble again in the blink of an eye?"

Although he was puzzled, Ye Shaohong couldn't bring himself to ask Dai Yunong, that old fox, since he was his direct superior.

I can only greet Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian first.

They agreed on a time to meet later.

Then he followed behind Dai Yunong and Mao Renfeng, and together they went to the top floor of the villa.

Inside the department head's office.

Unlike before, Dai Yunong did not sit directly in the chair of the person in charge after entering the room. Instead, he took Ye Shaohong's hand and pulled him towards the sofa reception area in an extremely intimate manner.

After Mao Renfeng brought the tea and left, Dai Yunong looked at Ye Shaohong with a sense of apology.

"Shao Hong."

“I know that you encountered many dangers and unexpected events on your way back to Jinling this time, and you must be very tired.”

"You should be allowed to rest."

"But I just learned from the Chairman that this matter is of great importance, concerning the lives and safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the Shanghai front, and the foundation of the National Government."

"There's no other way, I can only trouble you a little more." Dai Yunong's words were so persuasive that Ye Shaohong couldn't refuse again.

He immediately stood up.

"Chief, is there a new assignment?"

"Then give the order."

There's no need for empty talk or grand pronouncements, because that's completely useless. Since Dai Yunong has already made his decision, Ye Shaohong has no reason to refuse.

It's better to be more decisive and efficient.

This would make Dai Yunong feel a little better and reduce his fear of Dai Yunong.

really.

Hearing Ye Shaohong's resolute and decisive response, Dai Yunong smiled.

"Hey."

"Don't get excited."

"Sit down first, let's talk slowly." Dai Yunong stood up, grabbed Ye Shaohong's hand again, pressed him down on the sofa by his shoulder, and then shook his head gently with a bitter expression.

"There's something I don't know if you've heard of."

"The day before the Battle of Shanghai, the General Staff of the Nationalist Government devised a plan to trap and defeat the enemy."

"The goal was to gather all the Japanese ships operating in the Yangtze River basin within the Jiangdu Fortress before the two countries officially went to war, and to try to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"However, things took an unexpected turn before the operation even began. No one knows how the enemy learned of this news, but they managed to withdraw all of their warships that were operating in the Yangtze River basin a day before the Nationalist army was to move out."

"This caused our navy to suffer heavy blows from the enemy at the beginning of the war, and also put the soldiers on the Shanghai front in the awkward situation of fighting on two fronts."

"Therefore, the losses are enormous." "Now the three Japanese aircraft carrier battle groups have entered the Shanghai battlefield, and the Nationalist Navy is in danger of being completely annihilated."

"The Chairman is deeply concerned about this."

"He just relayed his orders to my Special Service Department, instructing them to find this spies deeply embedded in our government within ten days."

"I originally intended to hand this matter over to Yaoxian, since he is also an expert at uncovering hidden spies."

“But the massive amount of supplies you transported from the Songhu area also requires personnel to coordinate and direct, and Yaoxian happens to be involved in it. There’s no other way but to entrust this matter to you.”

"Shao Hong, you are also a skilled spies apprehended by our Special Service Department, with a renowned reputation. I wonder if you dare to accept this mission?"
