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

Chapter 540 Sudden Awakening

Ye Shaohong was kindly reminding him that he didn't want Zhou to be involved in the impending disaster.

But when his words reached Zhou Yi's ears, they took on a different meaning.

In Zhou's view, Ye Shaohong was advising and warning him.

Tell him to keep his mouth shut and not to tell anyone what happened today, and especially not to reveal his identity to anyone.

It can be said that this was a misunderstanding.

Have no idea.

Because Chinese culture is so vast and profound, even a simple, ordinary sentence can be interpreted in different ways depending on the context and mindset. Thankfully.

Although it was a misunderstanding, Zhou Yi understood Ye Shaohong's feelings and responded sincerely.

"Don't worry, I will."

"Take care of yourself!"

With those last words, Zhou no longer hesitated or delayed. He hugged the exquisite wooden box tightly and turned into the depths of a secluded alley in a few steps.

Watching Zhou Yi's figure disappear in an instant, Ye Shaohong frowned in confusion.

"What's going on?"

"What does he want me to be at ease about? What I just said didn't seem particularly special."

Unable to figure it out, Ye Shaohong stopped thinking about it. Seeing that Zhou had already left, he picked up his bicycle from the ground, quickly straightened his clothes, and slowly rode off. When he had passed through two streets and alleys, he finally encountered Zheng Yaoxian and his group, who were urgently chasing after him.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong, Zheng Yaoxian was visibly taken aback.

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"

Ye Shaohong knew Zheng Yaoxian's doubts, of course. He was definitely wondering, wasn't Ye Shaohong tracking and investigating Zhai Peng?

Why are you turning back so leisurely now?

This attitude and this demeanor are not normal.

"Hey, don't mention it."

"I originally thought that Zhai Peng was a hidden Japanese spy, so I followed him all the way here."

"But after a follow-up investigation, I found that I had misunderstood him."

"That kid wasn't working properly; he sneaked out halfway through the day. Turns out he was having a craving for opium."

"He's a complete incompetent good-for-nothing!"

To increase the credibility of his testimony, Ye Shaohong deliberately showed disdain for Zhai Peng in front of Zheng Yaoxian.

This made Zheng Yaoxian even more puzzled.

He squinted and looked at Ye Shaohong carefully, seemingly disbelieving his response.

However, Zheng Yaoxian had no intention of exposing Ye Shaohong's lie.

After a brief moment of scrutiny, Zheng Yaoxian nodded obediently.

"That's it."

"That's not a waste of time, since you've already ruled him out as a suspect!"

"Let's go, hurry back. The mailman whose bicycle you stole is still waiting for you on the side of the road."

"They are very dedicated and responsible."

Their conversation, seemingly casual chatter, was actually a way of conveying information to those around them, thereby dispelling any doubts they might have.

It has to be said that after this period of exploration and cooperation, Zheng Yaoxian and Ye Shaohong have become more and more in sync.

Between them, without words or statements, a mere glance is enough for them to understand each other's thoughts and act accordingly.

"Oh dear, Sixth Brother, I almost forgot about him if you hadn't mentioned him."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go back quickly. If word gets out that I, Ye Shaohong, am bullying the weak, I'll be so wronged."

As they chatted, everyone relaxed and began to retrace their steps.

They walked and chatted.

Suddenly, Zheng Yaoxian asked a question.

"Shao Hong, since Zhai Peng isn't a suspect in the General Staff's major leak case, then who is the suspect?" "You've been investigating this case for a while now, and haven't you identified a target yet?"

This was just a casual remark, and Ye Shaohong didn't take it to heart. Besides, the person who asked the question was Zheng Yaoxian, whom he could completely trust.

So Ye Shaohong smiled slightly and responded.

"how can that be possible!"

“When have I ever made a mistake in handling cases? Today, we have eliminated Zhai Peng as a suspect, so there is only one suspect left.”

"He is Yang, the adjutant of the River Defense Command..."

Before Yang Zhi's name could even be uttered, Ye Shaohong stopped abruptly.

His eyebrows twitched.

A bad feeling immediately welled up in his heart.

"Oh no!" "Someone, find a vehicle immediately, we're going to the river defense command now."

What was Ye Shaohong thinking?

He suddenly remembered the sense of crisis that had welled up deep in his heart when he parted with Yu Manli this morning.

Ye Shaohong didn't pay attention to it at the time.

But we don't need to anymore.

Having ruled out Zhai Peng as a Japanese spy, Yang Zhi's status as a suspect has been greatly expanded.

It has become almost irrefutable proof.

In addition, the things they discovered during their investigation of Yang Zhi's identity, and the mysterious death of Wang He, made Ye Shaohong's sense of crisis even stronger.

He shouted loudly.

After a roar, Ye Shaohong didn't wait for anyone to react. He suddenly turned his bicycle around and rode wildly towards the river outside the city.

His unconventional behavior caught Zheng Yaoxian's eye, causing Zheng Yaoxian's expression to change.

"Are they all deaf?"

"Didn't you hear what Section Chief Ye said? Quickly find a vehicle and follow him."

"Hurry up, everyone! Anyone who wastes time and misses the operation to capture the Japanese spy will be in big trouble!"

Zheng Yaoxian actually has a pretty good temper. The nickname "Ghost Six" that people talk about is just a way of saying that he acts in a ruthless and vicious way.

Normally, unlike Mao Renfeng, he didn't always wear a fake smile on his face.

However, he is quite gentle and refined in his interactions with others.

But today is different.

Ye Shaohong's strange behavior was like a heavy blow to Zheng Yaoxian's mind. It made Zheng Yaoxian realize one thing: something bad must have happened.

Ye Shaohong had only just remembered this matter.

His current urgency must be because he's busy making amends for his mistakes. As Ye Shaohong's mentor in entering the Special Service Department, and as Ye Shaohong's brother and friend, Zheng Yaoxian certainly couldn't stand idly by.

That's why he roared angrily and urgently.

"Yes!"

As soon as Zheng Yaoxian gave his order, the field agents who had come out of the Special Service Headquarters with him from Villa No. 1 Honggongci immediately responded.

Some of them got on their bicycles and followed Ye Shaohong away.

Some people, after looking around, rushed into a roadside phone booth and urgently contacted a vehicle to come over.

As for Zheng Yaoxian, after a brief moment of thought, he also entered the phone booth and dialed the internal line of Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

"Xiao'an, is Jianzhi with you?"

“He’s here. Good. Tell him to take his team and drive to the river defense headquarters immediately.”

"Don't ask me what I'm going to do, I don't know either. Just tell Jianzhi to go to the river defense headquarters and immediately find Shao Hong's men and follow their instructions."

"Let's act quickly!"
