Chapter 493 A Sudden Change

Opium?

Ye Shaohong was truly surprised that Chen Peishan and Wang He had this kind of hobby.

But upon closer reflection, this is not unusual.

During the Republican era, opium was rampant. Through the deliberate guidance of the Jewish people and the Sassin family, opium had spread throughout China in just one hundred years.

According to incomplete statistics, during the Republic of China period, one in ten Chinese people became addicted to opium.

It is precisely because of this that China is currently weak and its people are poor.

Ye Shaohong had seen this kind of thing and this kind of person countless times since he transmigrated. Even he, a person from a later era, had become numb to it.

But it's different now.

Upon hearing the report from the field operative, Ye Shaohong's first thought was that there might really be something wrong with these two people.

The reason is quite simple.

Because the opium they used was special; it was Indian opium.

This earth, also cast by the Jewish people and the house of Shahsin, is a source of calamity, specifically designed to harm the Chinese people.

This is a new breed that they specifically cultivated and developed for the Chinese nation.

Ye Shaohong had not tried it to see what it tasted like.

It was not mentioned in later records.

However, there was one thing Ye Shaohong knew: this Indian clay was the best quality and the most expensive of all opium pastes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's more valuable than gold. If Chen Peishan and Wang He were both heavy opium addicts and also smoked Indian opium, their combined incomes simply wouldn't be enough to support them.

Income and expenditure are disproportionate; in later generations, this was called having a huge amount of wealth with an unknown source.

Although this idea didn't exist during the Republic of China era, the general line of thought was the same, which was enough to raise suspicions.

"Okay."

"You actually managed to uncover something."

"Alright, I'll remember this. The mistake you made today can be erased."

"I don't need to tell you anything else, do I?"

Ye Shaohong stopped pinching his brow, his eyes narrowed, as if a cold glint flashed across them.

"clear."

"Don't worry, Section Chief. I will find out the source of Chen Peishan's funds as soon as possible."

Hearing Ye Shaohong's words, the field operative was extremely excited. He knew that he had safely survived this ordeal.

Not only has he overcome the obstacle, but he may also gain Ye Shaohong's approval.

In the future, this may also become his reliance for advancement and promotion.

With this hope, the field operative, who had been busy all day and was exhausted, could not hide his excitement and was eager to go out immediately and make new contributions.

"very good."

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

"Get to work early tomorrow and find out what I want to see as soon as possible."

Ye Shaohong waved for the field operative to leave, then buried himself in his work, reviewing the documents submitted by the intelligence law analysts. Before he knew it, it was ten o'clock at night.

Just as Ye Shaohong finished reading one document and was about to reach for the next, a pair of slender, fair hands quietly landed on his shoulders.

"Shao Hong..."

"Ok?"

"It's you! Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"

The soft humming in his ear pulled Ye Shaohong from his focused state. He put down his pen and paper, yawned deeply, and then asked with a smile.

"You know it's late, so why don't you go and rest?"

"But I still have a lot of work to do..."

Ye Shaohong glanced at the documents and files on the table and responded with a hint of bitterness.

"There's always work to be done." "Besides, if you rest early today, you can get up early tomorrow to handle it."

"Let's go, come back with me..."

Before Ye Shaohong could speak, Yu Manli had already grabbed his arm and pulled him up from the chair.

After Ye Shaohong stood up, he looked at the several intelligence analysts who were still busy in the conference room.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Yu Manli was right. After he transmigrated, his physical fitness gradually improved every day and every moment, so even if he was a little tired, he could persevere.

But his subordinates were different.

Looking around the conference room, the intelligence analysts were all deathly pale.

They were all clearly exhausted. He continued to linger, and the intelligence analysts could only grit their teeth and persevere.

This is obviously unreasonable.

"alright."

"Wait a moment, I'll go say a few words to them."

Ye Shaohong patted Yu Manli's arm, signaling her to loosen her grip on him for the time being, and then walked to the center of the conference room.

Raise your hand and pat gently.

"Everyone, I have a few words to say."

"You've all worked very hard these past two days because of the heavy workload."

"I won't say anything more. I'll recommend you for commendation after this mission is over."

"As for today, it's getting late, so you can all go home and rest. Come back to work at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." "If you feel tired and have trouble sleeping, you can go to the logistics department and ask for some food and drinks. If they ask, just say that I gave you special permission."

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Ye Shaohong didn't wait for anyone's reply. He turned around, took Yu Manli's hand, and they left the room together.

As he left, several intelligence analysts in the conference room collapsed to the ground.

"Oh my god, it's finally done. I thought I was going to die."

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. Didn't you hear what the section chief said? Everyone deserves credit for this mission. Go back and rest now."

"Rest? No way! The section chief just said there's a food and drink allowance. Are you guys going?"

"Let's walk..."

After a brief exchange, the intelligence analysts helped each other out.

……

Ye Shaohong was woken up early the next morning.

wrong…….

It should be said that Ye Shaohong was awakened by Yu Manli's mouth. After a brief moment of tenderness, he washed up and then left the room feeling refreshed.

He drove back to Villa No. 1, Honggongci, and had just entered his office, before he could even boil water and make himself a strong cup of tea, when someone knocked on the tightly closed door.

Then, an operations officer who had been on duty outside the previous day rushed in.

"Section Chief, no... something bad has happened."

"Just now, we suddenly discovered that Chen Peishan... Chen Peishan is dead, and Wang He is dead too..."
