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

Chapter 579 Late Night Visit

Compared to hunting down Japanese spies, taking action against the Party Affairs Investigation Department was much simpler.

There's no other reason than that the two groups are too familiar with each other.

They have infiltrated each other's ranks.

This kind of spy thriller was already thoroughly explored by our Chinese ancestors thousands of years ago.

It's just picking it up again.

After ending his call with Dai Yunong, Ye Shaohong didn't linger for a moment. He immediately got up, changed his clothes, started his car, and drove to Zheng Yaoxian's house.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

A series of dull knocks sounded, waking up the residents who had gone to bed early.

Along with the barking of dogs, lights also came on in Zheng Yaoxian's residence.

"Who is it?"

"Can't a person get some sleep this late at night?"

Zheng Yaoxian's dissatisfied voice came from inside the courtyard. As the courtyard gate opened, Ye Shaohong saw a tired figure wearing only a pair of shorts and a jacket draped over his shoulders, yawning.

"Little Seven?"

"Hey, Sixth Brother, are you still sleeping? Something terrible has happened."

Ye Shaohong showed no politeness towards Zheng Yaoxian. As he spoke casually, he had already walked past Zheng Yaoxian.

They went straight into the main room, which had its door wide open.

After sitting down, Ye Shaohong casually picked up the teapot and took a big gulp. However, his face immediately froze.

"Bah!"

"How many days has this tea been brewing? It's almost gone bad!"

"Hey Sixth Brother, even though you're a bachelor and a bit lazy in life, you can't just live like this."

"Look at your home. You're supposed to be the head of a section in the Special Service Department. It's one thing to have a cold kitchen, but this place is a complete mess. I really don't know how you manage to live like this."

Because it was late summer and early autumn, the weather was still a bit warm, so the windows were open. Although the room looked messy, there was no strange smell.

Even so, Ye Shaohong still found it somewhat difficult to adapt.

I couldn't help but mutter a few more words to myself.

"Chicken feathers".

"You come knocking on my door so late at night, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already complaining about me?" "Tell me what you're here for. If it's not important, then get out of here right now. My humble thatched hut can't hold a rich young master like you!"

Zheng Yaoxian wasn't one to take a loss lying down. Faced with Ye Shaohong's disdain, he didn't hesitate for a moment and retorted directly.

"Hey!"

"Sixth Brother, are you angry?"

"No, I'm not saying I look down on your life. It's just that as your younger brother, I'm worried about you!"

"I just want to make your life a little better."

The disdain he showed just now was a deliberate act by Ye Shaohong. He wasn't some materialistic person who looked down on the poor and loved the rich. His experience of living two lives had already made him indifferent to many things.

His current words are merely a prelude to his earlier actions.

"Go away and play somewhere else!" "Do I need you to tell me how I want to live my life?"

"Besides, who doesn't want a good life? It's just that we don't have money. If we did, wouldn't I want to live in a villa, drink red wine, and sleep with a curvy young wife every night?"

Zheng Yaoxian wasn't stupid; he could certainly understand Ye Shaohong's intentions. It was just that the two of them were used to bickering, so even when they tried to persuade each other with kind words and respond honestly, they would often end up being a little inappropriate.

This is actually a normal situation for men to get along.

Whether in ancient times or in the future, over thousands of years, there has not been much change.

"I knew you would say that."

"So, little brother, that's why I came here. I'm here today to give you money."

"By the way, Sixth Brother, do you want a wife?"

"If you want, I can introduce you to a few as well..." Ye Shaohong said with a playful grin, explaining the purpose of his visit today in a joking manner.

"You little rascal!"

"You didn't come here just to tease me because you couldn't sleep at night, did you?"

"I'll believe you if you say you'll make me rich, after all, you're the eldest son of the Ye family, a powerful financial family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But if you say you'll introduce me to women..."

"You? At such a young age, you only have one woman by your side. Looking at the entire Special Service Department, you're the only one of your kind. You think you can introduce me to a wife? Go cool off somewhere else and go have fun."

Despite saying that, Zheng Yaoxian still kept working and poured Ye Shaohong another cup of tea.

He even personally carried it and placed it in front of Ye Shaohong.

"That's called being devoted, okay!"

"Never mind." "Why bother talking to you about this? At least I have a beautiful woman by my side, unlike you..."

"Hey, hey, hey, just talk, don't get angry, if you hit me again I'll fight back..."

"Alright, alright, stop messing around, I'll tell you, okay?"

Having escaped Zheng Yaoxian's clutches, Ye Shaohong straightened his disheveled clothes before recounting the events of the evening and the results of his discussion with Dai Yunong.

After hearing Ye Shaohong's story, Zheng Yaoxian immediately smiled.

"This really is a chance to make a fortune."

"Those bastards in the Party Affairs Investigation Department are good for nothing but infighting and are masters at accumulating wealth."

“It’s much more profitable to take action against them than to bully and extort those ordinary merchants.”

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" After nearly a year of getting along, Ye Shaohong and Zheng Yaoxian had reached a tacit understanding.

Although Zheng Yaoxian never revealed his true identity to Ye Shaohong.

But he also roughly guessed that his affairs could not be hidden from Ye Shaohong at all, and Ye Shaohong also knew where all the money he had amassed had gone in the end.

With this tacit understanding, there's no need to speak at all for the rest.

The two immediately reached an agreement.

"Of course we should make a big deal out of this."

"I have already investigated the identity of the Party Affairs Investigation Department member who was shot dead tonight. He was a member of the Third Group of the Nanjing Branch of the Party Affairs Investigation Department."

“His death must have been suspicious. In that case, we can use this as an excuse to send someone to arrest the leader of the third group of the Nanjing Party Headquarters.” “Let’s squeeze some money out of him first.”

"If he's not clean either, we'll continue to expand our gains and make a bigger scene. Anyway, if anything goes wrong, the Chief will take the blame."

When a young fox meets an old fox, there's no need to say anything deeper; Zheng Yaoxian immediately understood.

"You boy."

"That's some serious heart! Those people in the Party Affairs Investigation Department offended you, and this is their downfall!"

"Alright, you don't need to say anything else. I understand. Tomorrow morning, after I go to headquarters, I will immediately have Xiao'an and Jianzhi take action."

"As for your situation, be careful. Be mindful when you're playing with fire, and don't get yourself into trouble!"
