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

Chapter 503 The Wisdom of Ordinary People

At first, when Ye Shaohong was chatting with the waiter, the restaurant owner watched from the side and remained calm.

They can even stand aside and watch with a smile.

But when Ye Shaohong took out another photo and placed it on the table, the restaurant owner's expression immediately changed.

They became somewhat flustered and frightened.

However, he was a man of considerable stature, and the change in his emotions only lasted for a brief moment before he forcibly controlled it.

Little did he know that Ye Shaohong was watching his every word and action.

"Old fox."

"You're not up to the task of playing with me!" Ye Shaohong thought coldly. Although he noticed the strange expression on the restaurant owner's face, he really had no intention of paying attention to him at the moment.

Because he has more important things to do.

That was to wait for the replies from the shop waiters, who had just shown Ye Shaohong a fact through their actions.

They do indeed have an extraordinary memory.

Now it's their turn to prove themselves.

"Sir, I've seen this man before."

"He should have arrived at our restaurant around nine o'clock in the morning. After entering, he talked with the owner for a while."

"Then the boss went to the kitchen and asked the head chef to make him a few takeaway dishes. In the end, the boss personally took the food boxes from the kitchen and delivered them to the customers."

Among the many waiters, one immediately stepped forward and loudly reported, "Good!" after only a glance.

"Please stand aside for a moment, and I will ask you about what happened in detail later."

"After all... this reward money can't all go to you alone, can it?"

Hearing the answer he wanted, Ye Shaohong was clearly in a good mood. He casually picked up five silver dollars from the table and tossed them into the waiter's arms.

This is like spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones.

He is also using his actions to show others that his promises are valid.

As long as someone provides him with useful clues, Ye Shaohong will never be stingy with the reward of a dozen or so silver dollars, and will ensure that they gain something from it.

really.

Seeing Ye Shaohong's actions, the other waiters from the restaurant also became excited. They also wanted to receive the silver dollar reward.

Without hesitation, one person immediately stood up and shouted in response.

"Sir, I've thought of that too."

"This person not only came to our restaurant this morning, but he is also a regular customer. In the past two months, he has come back every three to five days, and the manager personally greets him each time."

"Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to say too. I also know something else. Several times at night, even after the doors were locked and the windows were closed, this person still came to look for the shopkeeper."

"They should know each other very well."

Two waiters came forward to report, and when their words reached the restaurant owner's ears, his face turned pale instantly.

His body was trembling.

He tried to sneak into the kitchen amidst the chaos, but he clearly underestimated Ye Shaohong.

The moment he made a move, Ye Shaohong responded. With a wave of his hand, the two special agents who had come with him immediately understood his intention. Holding their guns, they walked directly to the restaurant owner's side.

They took him into custody.

"very good."

"The information you provided was useful, so I will definitely reward you."

"How about this, I'll reward each of you with five silver dollars. I'll have someone make up the difference on the table later."

"Now, can any of you help me figure out what he said to your boss during these last few visits?"

Have you seen anyone else?

Ye Shaohong was patiently guiding him, trying to extract more information. But this time, Ye Shaohong was wrong.

He underestimated the ordinary people struggling to make a living on the streets, and he also underestimated their keen perception of life.

Seeing that the special operations officers who had come in with Ye Shaohong had taken control of their restaurant owner at gunpoint, the men immediately realized that something bad was about to happen.

Then they thought about the unpredictable life after the accident.

Without this job, how will they support their families?

So after a brief exchange of glances, the group fell silent without a word of discussion.

They never responded to Ye Shaohong's questions again.

Even with a hefty reward, ordinary people can still clearly weigh the pros and cons between the immediate gains and the long-term benefits.

"Why are you all so quiet?" "Do you think the bounty isn't enough? Or do you not trust me and think I'll go back on my word?"

No matter how smart Ye Shaohong is, he can't be perfect. And his status and position make it difficult for him to achieve complete empathy with ordinary people on the streets.

Therefore, a momentary erroneous assessment occurred.

He asked several times, but the waiters still refused to respond, which made Ye Shaohong frown immediately.

He could already sense that he had made a mistake.

Among the field agents standing next to him, one had a rather fiery temper. Seeing that Commander Ye was speaking kindly to them, but the waiters were unwilling to respond, this man immediately became impatient.

He raised an eyebrow and immediately raised the gun in his hand, pressing the muzzle against the forehead of a waiter.

"Oh shit."

"You've got some nerve! Commander Ye is asking you questions, and you dare to refuse to answer? Believe me or not, I'll shoot you right now..."

The angry shouts of the people around him reached Ye Shaohong's ears. Seeing the panicked expressions on the faces of the waiters, Ye Shaohong finally realized what was going on.

He also realized where he had gone wrong.

Ye Shaohong immediately made the right decision.

"stop."

"You brainless idiots! Did I say anything? You dare to act recklessly. Hurry up and apologize to your brothers."

Under Ye Shaohong's strong pressure, the hot-tempered field agent, even if unwilling, could only lower his head and admit his mistake.

Ye Shaohong's attitude finally calmed down the frightened waiters, but out of concern for their future lives, they were still unwilling to speak up easily.

Fearing that his loose tongue might cost his family their livelihood, Ye Shaohong, realizing their thoughts, stopped worrying. After a moment's thought, he casually pulled out a thick wad of US dollars from his pocket.

He placed it on the table.

"Everyone, take a look."

"There are probably four or five hundred US dollars here, which is close to a thousand dollars."

"I just want an answer. If you tell me the truth and all the information you have, then all this money is yours."

"With this money, you won't have to worry about the livelihood of your whole family in the future. You can also use it to do some small business. Your future life will definitely be better than being a waiter."

"Think about it, and if you're willing, give me an answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong turned around and looked at the restaurant owner. When he saw that the owner's face had turned pale and he was filled with despair, Ye Shaohong laughed out loud.

He knew that this time, he would definitely gain something...
