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

Chapter 490 Yu Li's Lineup

This looks like a crime of passion.

Was it really a crime of passion?

Based on the information gathered so far, this explanation seems to be the most reasonable approach.

But Ye Shaohong and his group are different.

They are professional spies who will question everything in order to uncover hidden enemies to the greatest extent possible.

at this point.

You can find some clues in many spy dramas.

Those in power spend most of their time not trying to deal with their enemies.

Instead, be suspicious of those around you. Strive to ensure that your team is as pure as possible.

But are they only suspicious of the people around them?

wrong.

If we broaden our perspective, it's not hard to see that this tendency to doubt everything isn't limited to those in power in spy dramas.

Section chiefs, division chiefs, and even ordinary special agents in various units all have this habit.

Even our Party's undercover agents, in addition to completing their missions, spend more time thinking about and observing their colleagues.

Search for their traces.

To put it bluntly, once you enter the world of espionage, suspicion and being suspected will be a constant companion throughout your life.

Ye Shaohong was the same.

Despite not having been taught these things, being in the intelligence industry, he gradually integrated into the current environment without even realizing it.

I learned this self-defense and survival technique.

and so.

In Ye Shaohong's eyes, Yang Zhi's seemingly crime of passion was meaningless.

To find out the truth, he needed to conduct a thorough investigation and obtain conclusive evidence before he could completely dispel his doubts.

"There is indeed a problem."

“Send a few people over there to investigate this past event carefully.”

"We need the police officers who were involved in the case to cooperate in investigating the woman named Wang He more thoroughly."

After a moment's thought, Ye Shaohong finally made his decision.

He casually gave the order and walked to his desk. After pulling out a chair and sitting down, Ye Shaohong was about to pick up the documents on the table to examine them carefully when he suddenly stopped.

immediately.

Ye Shaohong raised his head and looked at the intelligence analyst.

"correct."

"During the time I was away from the office, did Yu Manli, Li Yunlong, and Chi Tiecheng return?"

"How is their investigation progressing?"

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, the intelligence analyst immediately shook his head.

"No."

“Section Chief, you’ve only been gone for less than three hours. During that time, Captain Yu, Captain Li, and Captain Chi haven’t returned.”

"However, they also arranged for people to send back a lot of intelligence data, which we are currently analyzing and summarizing as quickly as possible."

Ye Shaohong had anticipated the intelligence analyst's response; he had only asked the question to get real-time information.

"Well, I see."

"Then you all go ahead with your work. Report any news to me immediately."

Ye Shaohong nodded, dismissed the intelligence analyst, and then turned to look at the wall to the side.

On the wall, the old-fashioned pendulum clock showed the time as 4:38 PM.

Based on the time, Yu Manli, Li Yunlong, and Chi Tiecheng will return in a little over an hour.

This was a meeting time they had arranged long ago.

This time of day was also when they exchanged intelligence. It was also the time when Ye Shaohong made his final decision.

"Hold on."

"Hopefully, we can eliminate a few suspects today."

"If this continues, with ten days and limited manpower, we simply won't be able to find the hidden Japanese spy."

After silently shaking his head, Ye Shaohong stopped thinking about it and picked up the documents piled on the table, patiently examining them carefully.

Before we knew it, time had flown by.

Yu Manli was the first to turn back after the old-fashioned pendulum clock hanging on the wall struck six times in a row.

Her face was full of exhaustion.

Her once exquisite makeup now looked like it was starting to smudge.

Although these things still couldn't hide her stunning beauty, it was clear that the day's investigation was quite a burden for Manli.

"Section Chief, I'm back."

With swaying steps, Yu Manli walked to Ye Shaohong's desk, first standing at attention and saluting, and then calling out in a clear voice.

"Ok?"

"You're back? You must be exhausted after a busy day."

"Sit down and have a drink of water first, take a short rest, and we can discuss the specific business later."

Yu Manli is, after all, Ye Shaohong's wife. Even though he is currently busy with official duties, Ye Shaohong is willing to take care of her a little when conditions permit.

Ye Shaohong made no attempt to hide this fact.

Even if someone notices or discovers it, it doesn't really matter.

After all, Ye Shaohong's actions weren't excessive. "Yes."

Yu Manli smiled slightly. To her, Ye Shaohong's words about hard work were enough to make everything worthwhile.

Even after a long day of exhaustion, hearing this simple sentence made Yu Manli feel refreshed.

in contrast.

She walked directly behind Ye Shaohong and gently massaged his shoulders.

for all this.

Everyone in the conference room saw it, but they didn't say anything.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

A dozen minutes later, Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng returned together.

"Captain Yu, are you massaging the section chief's shoulders again?"

"I've been busy all day and I'm quite tired. Why don't you come over and give me a massage?"

Li Yunlong had been following Ye Shaohong for a long time and often saw Yu Manli. The two had a fairly good relationship and could even exchange some simple jokes.

Just like now.

This is not an excessive teasing remark. On the surface, it is teasing Yu Manli, but in reality, it is praising Yu Manli's virtuousness and gentleness.

So even though Ye Shaohong heard it, he only raised his head and glanced at Li Yunlong.

There was no warning or admonition.

What about Yu Manli?

She was even more straightforward, simply rolling her eyes at Li Yunlong.

"Humph."

"Get out of my way! Who do you think you are, to think you're worthy of being served by me?" "If you dare say such inappropriate things to me again, believe me, I'll have the section chief whip you!"

Yu Manli's spoiled and domineering attitude immediately put Li Yunlong at a disadvantage, and the smile on his face instantly froze on the spot.

"Ouch."

"My dear wife, don't scare me."

"If you don't want to listen, then I won't say it anymore. If you're really angry, I'll slap myself a few times as an apology to you."

Li Yunlong was born into a hutong family in old Beiping, and his glib and smooth-talking nature had long been ingrained in his very being.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to joke with Ye Shaohong.

In private, he dared to joke around with Zhuang Yifan, Xiao Zhengguo, and Chi Tiecheng. Today, he was unusually cheeky and teased Yu Manli, which resulted in him being confronted and rebuked.

Li Yunlong also felt a little regretful. As he opened his mouth to respond and apologize, he actually raised his hand and lightly slapped his own mouth a few times.

Of course.

The sound was very soft, and the force was not strong.

This finally extinguished Yu Manli's anger.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong could no longer stand idly by. Although he didn't mind his subordinates being acquainted with Yu Manli, she was still his woman, and Ye Shaohong was somewhat jealous.

That's why they let Yu Manli act recklessly and punished Li Yunlong only lightly.

Since Li Yunlong has admitted defeat.

There's no need to let them argue any longer. If things escalate, he'll have to put in a lot of effort to mediate.

No need.

"okay."

"Stop fooling around, everyone, and come and report on today's events."

"Did the targets you guys were tracking do anything unusual today? Have your men made any new discoveries in their investigations?"
