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

Chapter 580 Setting a Trap, Falling into the Trap

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Shaohong was woken up by Zheng Yaoxian.

After the two had breakfast together, Zheng Yaoxian went out first and went directly to the headquarters of the Special Service Department.

Go and arrange the things you discussed and agreed upon with Ye Shaohong last night.

What about Ye Shaohong?

He wasn't in such a hurry anymore. After leaving Zheng Yaoxian's house, he strolled slowly towards Zhongshan Wharf, as if taking a leisurely walk.

When passing by a century-old breakfast shop in Jinling City, Ye Shaohong stopped and ordered some food.

By the time he reached Zhongshan Wharf, it was nearly nine o'clock. Weaving through the crowded streets, he found Yan Shuangying and handed him the food box.

This also stopped Yan Shuangying from saying anything more.

Yan Shuangying smiled.

After shaking his head, Yan Shuangying took the food box, opened it, and began to wolf down the food.

"How's it going?"

"Didn't we find anyone suspicious?"

Ye Shaohong sat next to Yan Shuangying, his eyes fixed on the passing passengers, but he casually asked a question as if he were chatting with someone.

"no!"

There wasn't a sound at all.

“Mitsui Meitaro is a shrewd man. There’s no way he would willingly fall into such an obvious trap.”

In just a few bites, Yan Shuangying stuffed a steamer full of crab roe dumplings into his mouth.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

“I know he won’t jump in.”

"But in order to keep him hooked and prevent him from leaving Jinling, we still have to keep up these superficial efforts."

"His patience just exceeded my expectations."

"It's been three days, and he still hasn't made a move against me. To be honest, I'm getting a little impatient!"

The weather was lovely today. The morning sun shone down, warm and comforting. Bathed in its warmth, Ye Shaohong couldn't help but yawn.

Finally, he simply leaned back and lay down on the rocking chair.

He half-closed his eyes, and slowly, he showed signs of drowsiness and falling asleep.

"It is a bit long." "Judging from the timeline, he should be ready by now."

"Is the reason we haven't made a move against you yet because we haven't found a suitable opportunity to strike?"

Yan Shuangying took out a fried dough stick from the food box, took a bite and tore off half of it. While looking around, he muttered to himself with some doubt.

"Hey, who cares?"

“As long as we block this major traffic route in and out of Nanjing, there will be no way for Mitsui Meitaro to leave.”

"Ha... I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

"Call me if you need anything!"

As he spoke, Ye Shaohong's voice gradually weakened, and in just a few blinks, a distinct snoring sound rang out.

Seeing this, Yan Shuangying shook his head helplessly. He had finally understood.

This Ye Shaohong is indeed capable, but he's also incredibly lazy, unlike any of the intelligence agents he'd encountered before.

But his personality also carries a touch of carefree and unrestrained nature.

It's really hard to feel disgusted by them.

It can even give people a feeling of comfort and relaxation when they are by his side.

At least Yan Shuangying didn't mind that.

"That's all."

"I can tell you didn't get enough rest last night. I wonder where you went gallivanting off to again."

"You're sleeping so comfortably, while I have to stay here and keep watch for you..."

……

Time flew by, and it was almost evening. After spending the day at Zhongshan Wharf, Ye Shaohong finally sat up from the rocking chair as the sun was about to set in the west.

Just as he was about to call Yan Shuangying to go out with him to find a place to eat and drink, a special operations officer rushed over.

"Section Chief."

"Headquarters called, saying the section chief urgently needs to see you!"

Within the Special Service Department, Dai Yunong was the biggest boss, and was known as Boss Dai.

Now, through the Mitsui Akitaro case, he has forced Zheng Jiemin, the agent of the "Baoding Clique" within the Special Service Department, to leave, and his power and influence have reached their zenith.

Although Ye Shaohong had no feelings for him, he still had to give Dai Yunong some face in front of his subordinates.

"The Chief wants to see me?" "Okay, I understand. Arrange a car immediately. We'll head back to the Special Service Headquarters now."

As he casually made the arrangements, Ye Shaohong stood up and walked past Yan Shuangying.

A few minutes later, accompanied by the roar of an engine, a military vehicle drove out of Zhongshan Wharf, kicking up dust.

After walking a short distance, Ye Shaohong stopped at the entrance of a secluded alley.

He jumped out of the car and walked deeper into the alley. After passing through two streets, he arrived at an unfamiliar street corner.

As soon as I stopped, another military vehicle pulled up to the side of the road.

The person sitting in the car was Yan Shuangying.

"Has the car been inspected?"

"You can rest assured that I will handle things properly and guarantee that there will be no smuggling in the car."

As Yan Shuangying spoke casually in the car, he flicked his wrist, and a Thompson submachine gun fell into Ye Shaohong's hands.

Ye Shaohong took the machine gun, inspected it, and nodded in satisfaction.

He then jumped onto the military vehicle.

"Let's go!"

"Let's see what Mitsui Meitaro's methods are like."

The car started and drove back onto the road.

Yan Shuangying must be an experienced driver. I wonder where he learned his driving skills in Northeast China. He drives the car both steadily and fast.

Soon their car arrived at Sanhui Street.

Just as Yan Shuangying was about to turn the car around and head towards Hong Gongci Villa, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the distance.

The instant the gunshot rang out, Yan Shuangying jerked the steering wheel, and the car sped toward the shops on the side of the street.

With a muffled thud, the car crashed into a solid wooden utility pole by the roadside, and two figures leaped out at the same time.

"Oh shit."

"So it really was a treacherous scheme devised by Mitsui Meitaro. How did you discover it?"

As soon as Yan Shuangying hid himself, he reached for his waist and a pistol fell into his hand. He suddenly stood up, swung his arm, and fired a shot.

Then, without even looking, he squatted down.

A question uttered from his mouth.

"It's very simple."

"Didn't you ask me this morning where I went gallivanting last night?"

“Because I was on the phone with Dai Yunong. We just finished talking last night and discussed the next steps. Do you think Dai Yunong would still be in a hurry to see me?” Ye Shaohong was also hiding behind the tires of the wrecked car. He didn’t rush to retaliate immediately, but instead placed the Thompson machine gun he was holding within easy reach.

He then pulled out his Browning M1910 pistol from his lower back, held it to his chest in a defensive stance, and only then began to explain.

"You little rascal, you're really cunning!"

Yan Shuangying pursed his lips; he had figured out the reason Ye Shaohong had given him.

However, given the current special circumstances, Yan Shuangying did not delve too deeply into the matter, as he had already roughly discerned the number of people approaching through his hearing.

"Thirteen!"

"I just shot and killed the sniper in the distance. Now there are twelve left."

"Be careful, these people probably have heavy weaponry!"
