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

Chapter Forty-Nine: The Scandalous Past of Dai Yunong and Mao Renfeng

The No. 1 villa at Honggongci is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 60 acres.

There are more than two hundred rooms of various sizes.

This is also the core of the Special Service Department, containing not only the Intelligence Department, the most important department of the Special Service Department, but also directly subordinate departments such as Telecommunications, Confidential Affairs, and General Affairs.

Even if Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian wanted to bring Ye Shaohong, a complete stranger, into the company, they still had to go through several rounds of screening.

Even so, Ye Shaohong was stopped when he entered the villa lobby.

A secretary surnamed Qin came downstairs and conveyed Dai Yunong's orders to the three of them.

Tell them to wait five minutes. The Chief is currently meeting with an important visitor. After the conversation, Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian can go up and meet the Chief.

They have about ten minutes to give their report.

As for Ye Shaohong...

Secretary Qin didn't mention it at all; he simply nodded slightly as his gaze swept over her, which was his way of greeting her.

But that's normal.

The secretariat, you know.

In ancient terms, they were close ministers of the emperor, of low rank but with great power, and even when sent out to serve as high-ranking officials in other regions, they would become important regional officials.

It's understandable that they might be a bit arrogant.

Moreover, it was within the Secret Service.

Dai Yunong was also an oddball. He secretly imitated Venezuelan President Chiang Kai-shek in many ways. When the President set up an aide-de-camp in the Presidential Palace, Dai Yunong set up a secretary's office in the Special Service Department.

These two entities have different names but similar powers.

These are all places where power and influence are extremely strong.

How did Mao Renfeng succeed Dai Yunong as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau? Besides his identity as a native of Zhejiang Province, the most important factor was that he held the title of secretary to the director.

They secretly control the Jiangshan faction within the Military Intelligence Bureau.

It would be possible to get close to the Chairman.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong stopped caring. He smiled back and waited quietly to the side.

A few minutes later, a short, stout middle-aged man came downstairs.

His gaze swept across the room and landed on Xu Baichuan, a bright smile immediately appearing on his face.

"Hey, Baichuan, why are you still waiting here?"

"Come on up with me quickly."

"The Chief is waiting for you." Looking at the short, stout man in front of him, who resembled Wu Dalang, Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow. Without needing anyone to introduce him, he had already vaguely guessed the man's identity.

Mao Renfeng.

This person is a legendary figure.

He and Dai Yunong were junior high school classmates; they could be said to have known each other since they were both struggling.

During their school years, the two also co-founded a radical organization.

This was Dai Yunong's earliest team.

After growing up, Dai Yunong mingled in the streets and was still busy making a living, while Mao Renfeng had already gone to Guangdong and Guangxi and joined the Whampoa Military Academy.

He and Xu Baichuan were both students of the fourth class of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Unlike Xu Baichuan, Mao Renfeng fell seriously ill during his time at military academy and had to drop out halfway through his studies. After returning to Jiangshan, Mao Renfeng unexpectedly met Dai Yunong. Seeing his impoverished state and recalling his childhood experiences, he felt pity for him and gave him ten silver dollars for travel expenses to encourage him to join the army at Whampoa.

He even uttered the famous saying that the hope of the nation lies in Whampoa.

This allowed Dai Yunong to regain his spirits and go alone to Guangdong and Guangxi to join the Whampoa Military Academy, giving him the opportunity to make a fortune in his later years.

After Dai Yunong became successful, he did not forget his "benefactor".

A telegram prompted Mao Renfeng, who was working at the Provincial Department of Education, to immediately abandon his post and travel alone to Nanjing to join Dai Yunong's secret service.

With Dai Yunong's trust, Mao Renfeng's power in the Special Service Department grew stronger day by day.

Later, they even secretly organized the Jiangshan faction, a force comparable to Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zong.

He's a typical smiling tiger. Watching Mao Renfeng, Xu Baichuan, and Zheng Yaoxian gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Shaohong secretly shook his head again. The information above was all publicly available data.

The authenticity is probably over 90%.

There are some more stories that follow, but they get a bit mysterious.

It is said that Dai Yunong had a tiger in his house, so he didn't dare bring the women he had affairs with home to give them a proper status.

Then Dai Yunong introduced one of the beautiful women to Mao Renfeng.

But Dai Yunong is not good at handling things.

Even after Mao Renfeng got married, Dai Yunong still maintained a close relationship with that man.

This also made Mao Renfeng's personality increasingly sinister and vicious.

After Dai Yunong died by suicide, Mao Renfeng took over as director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Within months, he had his wife, whom he had known since childhood, committed to a mental hospital. Whether this story is true or false, the Special Service Department has not yet released any information, and Ye Shaohong is also unaware.

But there's one thing he knows.

That is, this person, like Dai Yunong, took great care of the students from Zhejiang Province.

They care more about the country and its people.

Ye Shaohong himself happens to be from Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, and his mother comes from a prominent family in Jiangshan County. If the historical circumstances do not change, there will definitely be some more stories between him and Mao Renfeng in the future.

As for whether they are close or hostile, Ye Shaohong has no way of knowing for the time being.

As my thoughts raced, time flew by.

Another burst of hurried footsteps rang out.

When Ye Shaohong looked up, he saw Secretary Qin, who had been so arrogant just moments before, running down anxiously. "Excuse me... are you Lieutenant Ye Shaohong?"

"That's right, I am Ye Shaohong."

"It's good that it's you. Come quickly, come with me, the comrade wants to see you."

This time, Secretary Qin dared not act arrogantly in front of Ye Shaohong. A hint of intimacy appeared on his face. Although it wasn't to the point of flattery, it showed some genuine feelings.

During the journey, Ye Shaohong also took the opportunity to inquire with Secretary Qin about why Dai Yunong wanted to meet him personally.

Although Secretary Qin wanted to tell him, he genuinely had no idea.

We can only deal with it vaguely.

This answer cleared up Ye Shaohong's doubts. If he was not mistaken, Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian must have already reported the information about the Tangshan Hot Spring case to Dai Yunong.

The matter was of great importance, involving the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Japanese Consulate in Nanjing, so Dai Yunong dared not be careless or negligent.

That's why they brought him, the person directly handling the case, to the scene.

They wanted to learn the true details of the case from Ye Shaohong.

Things didn't turn out as Ye Shaohong had expected.

Led by Secretary Qin, Ye Shaohong quickly entered Dai Yunong's office. After a brief greeting, Dai Yunong didn't exchange any pleasantries with him.

They immediately inquired about the Tangshan case.

Ye Shaohong was required to explain everything clearly and in great detail.

Ye Shaohong was not afraid.

He began to recount, bit by bit, how he had discovered clues by going through the past files of the Operations Section.

Then, the story goes on to describe the journey to Tangshan Hot Springs and the plan to alert the enemy.

Finally, he mentioned that he had someone follow Liao Yaquan. During the narration, Ye Shaohong did not hide anything. He told Huang Jun and his son, Ambassador Suma, and also reported the intelligence he had obtained from Ma Yunfei and Gao Han, as well as some Japanese spies that had been discovered.

The story was so captivating that Dai Yunong, Xu Baichuan, and Zheng Yaoxian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Dai Yunong also said "good" several times during the process.

When he looked at Ye Shaohong again, there was no longer any undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Subsequently.

Dai Yunong noticed the change in Ye Shaohong's accent.

Upon asking, I learned that Ye Shaohong was also from Zhejiang Province, and was even from the same hometown as the Chairman, having attended the Fenglu Academy where the Chairman had studied.

To put it more broadly, Ye Shaohong is actually the Chairman's junior.

This delighted Dai Yunong. In his eyes, Ye Shaohong's family background and experience were the model for his trusted disciples.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Dai Yunong disregarded his status and walked directly out from behind his desk to Ye Shaohong's side, patting him affectionately on the shoulder.

"Good lad, you didn't embarrass Zhejiang Province."

"Work hard, don't slack off, and don't be arrogant or overbearing. If you can achieve something, I can introduce you to the Chairman."

"He must be very happy that such a talented person has emerged from his hometown!"
