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

Chapter 558 Gunshots in the Night

At this point, the determination of Tao Huichun's identity is still just speculation.

Ye Shaohong did not speak out.

There was no intention to discuss it with Zheng Yaoxian.

After all, there's no empirical evidence.

All his current suspicions are baseless and cannot serve as evidence for solving the case.

However, Ye Shaohong immediately thought of Tao Huichun's identity.

She worked in the Special Service Department's medical ward, and it was said that she had connections with Zheng Jiemin. Did her so-called backer have any connection with the Japanese?

A more detailed investigation is needed to find out. The most urgent task is to make a decision: to keep a close watch on Tao Huichun and use her as bait to continue fishing.

Or should we just take action and arrest them directly?

But what if we arrest her, and she resists to the death?

Historical experience has taught Ye Shaohong that in the intelligence field, women's will is often more resilient than men's.

Although he didn't know the reason behind it, he was unwilling to take the risk.

With this in mind, Ye Shaohong had an idea.

"Sixth Brother, why don't you give the section chief a call?"

"This matter is extremely important; if we make a decision on our own, the risks we take will be too great."

Ye Shaohong didn't make his point clear, but Zheng Yaoxian wasn't stupid; he was quite clever. Almost instantly, Zheng Yaoxian understood Ye Shaohong's concerns. He pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

"it is good."

"You stay here and keep an eye on things, and deal with any emergencies. I'll go call the section chief right now."

"wait me back!"

Zheng Yaoxian acted swiftly. After speaking, he turned and glanced at Zhao Jianzhi, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong led Li Yunlong and the little postman to wander around the nearby streets and alleys.

He wanted to check the surrounding environment of the hiding place Tao Huichun had chosen.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Shaohong was surprised to discover that this woman was quite capable.

The clinic is conveniently located with numerous streets and alleys, and many residents. Hiding there would allow her to conceal her identity to the greatest extent possible. It would also facilitate communication and escape.

However, this also brought a lot of trouble to Ye Shaohong and his team. Setting up a capture operation in this place with many street intersections would require a lot of manpower.

If the commotion is too great, it may alert the target suspect prematurely.

Don’t say anything else.

The windows on the second floor of the clinic allowed Tao Huichun to monitor the surrounding area anytime, anywhere.

"The Japanese have been conducting modern intelligence work for a century. In this respect, China is indeed lagging behind them."

"There's no other way but to catch up slowly."

Lost in thought, the three of them had unknowingly circled the streets and alleys near the clinic.

Finally, they returned to the starting point. A few minutes later.

Zheng Yaoxian returned in a hurry with Zhao Jianzhi. Upon seeing Ye Shaohong, he immediately relayed the order personally given by Dai Yunong to Ye Shaohong.

They were instructed to remain here and guard the area at all costs, waiting for the "gray wolf" to arrive.

Upon hearing this result, Ye Shaohong curled his lip.

"The magistrate really has a big heart."

"He wants to use this to catch fish, isn't he worried about the fish getting away and the bait being lost?"

Despite saying that, Ye Shaohong did not raise any objections, since this was the result he wanted.

Anyway, the matter has already been reported, so even if something goes wrong later, it has nothing to do with him.

As for the gray wolf...

Ye Shaohong had another thought in mind, and he needed to confirm it here.

"never mind."

"Since the comrade has already made a decision, we will just follow his arrangements."

"Now let's discuss the surveillance work here. Shao Hong, do you have any ideas?"

Zheng Yaoxian would never ridicule or mock Dai Yunong in front of everyone. Due to his special status, he was always extremely careful in his actions.

With a wave of his hand, he interrupted Ye Shaohong's dissatisfied remarks and then brought up work matters again.

"Sixth Brother, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"It's already late at night. Even if our Special Service has special privileges for surveillance, we can't disturb the residents in the middle of the night, can we?"

"Making a commotion would easily alert the enemy, so we have no choice but to keep watch outside." "Luckily, it's late summer and early autumn, and the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, so keeping watch outside isn't too bad. It's just these mosquitoes..."

Ye Shaohong was a northerner in his previous life. After being reborn, he was able to adapt to most of life in the south, except for things like mosquitoes, cockroaches, and spiders, which he couldn't stand.

But since he hadn't finished his work, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

"I didn't ask you to keep watch here all night."

“Your sister-in-law just had surgery and is still in the hospital. Don’t stay here with us and suffer.”

"Hurry back. If anything unexpected happens, I'll have someone call you."

Zheng Yaoxian took good care of Ye Shaohong, knowing that he was a bit lazy and worried about Yu Manli's injuries in the hospital, so he took the initiative to take responsibility without hesitation.

"That's fine."

"Thank you, Sixth Brother. Please hang in there. I'll come to relieve you first thing tomorrow morning." As he spoke, Ye Shaohong was about to take his leave, but just then, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the Dashengtang Clinic ahead.

The accident happened too suddenly.

The sudden arrival left Ye Shaohong, Zheng Yaoxian, and the others somewhat bewildered, unable to react for a short time.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Ye Shaohong and Zheng Yaoxian's expressions immediately changed.

They exchanged a glance, and then ran towards the Dashengtang Clinic at the same time.

As they ran, they kept calling out to the operatives.

When the group arrived at the entrance of Dashengtang Clinic, agents from the Special Operations Department were already forcefully ramming the door.

obviously.

It was the surveillance personnel closest to the clinic who noticed something amiss and initiated their operation ahead of time. Ye Shaohong glanced at them.

Seeing that the door was tightly closed and had been repeatedly rammed by the special agents, yet still showed no signs of damage, Ye Shaohong grew anxious.

He turned around and looked at Li Yunlong.

"Yunlong, it's up to you now."

"on!"

Li Yunlong was from the Northern School of Swallows, and he was different from the ordinary field agents of the Special Service Department. He possessed the martial arts skills of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops. After hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Li Yunlong leaped up and tapped the shop walls with his toes while in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, he had already jumped onto the roof of the shop.

He leaned over and looked, his face immediately showing shock and anger.

"Section Chief, something terrible has happened."

"Someone jumped out of the back door, and they're running towards the intersection ahead..."
