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

Chapter 583 Nighttime Arrest

Because they had to stop frequently to look for markers along the way, Ye Shaohong and his group wasted a lot of time.

They wandered around for a while, and it wasn't until after 8 p.m. that they finally arrived at the entrance of a street.

As the car stopped, a shadowy figure emerged from the dark corner.

It was Chi Tiecheng.

"Section Chief, you've arrived."

"Ah."

"Where is the target?"

Ye Shaohong nodded in response, while looking around for suspicious individuals. "Section Chief, the target has entered the house ahead."

“I’ve been watching from outside the whole time, and I can confirm that no one came out from there.”

Since it concerned a top-secret case of the Special Service Department, Chi Tiecheng dared not delay or hesitate, and immediately told Ye Shaohong all the details.

"You mean, after the target entered this street, he only knocked lightly on the door of the house a few times, and the people inside let him in?"

Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow and checked with Chi Tiecheng again to confirm what he had seen.

Upon receiving Chi Tiecheng's affirmative reply, Ye Shaohong's expression immediately darkened.

The suspect knocked lightly on the gate, and the homeowner opened it on his own initiative.

They even allowed the suspect into their home.

This only proves one thing: the owner of this house knows the suspect, and they have a deep connection.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be another traitor who betrays his country and goes against the enemy.

"These people all deserve to die!"

After pursing his lips and muttering a curse under his breath, Ye Shaohong asked Chi Tiecheng about the owner of the mansion.

Chi Tiecheng's work efficiency is quite good.

He had already used his own methods to find out about the owner of the house in advance.

It is said that the owner of this mansion was a merchant from Shandong Province.

The family is extremely wealthy.

Their family moved from Shandong Province to Nanjing more than ten years ago. With their considerable wealth, they own several rice, flour and oil shops in prime locations in Nanjing.

They also made a living by selling silk and running a pawnshop.

Given their family's circumstances, there was no need for them to collude with the Japanese, but businessmen are driven by profit.

As Marx once said, "If there is a 100% profit, capitalists will take risks; if there is a 200% profit, capitalists will disregard the law; if there is a 300% profit, then capitalists will trample on everything in the world!"

While this statement is not absolute, it is not entirely wrong to some extent.

Because he understood this, Ye Shaohong was not surprised that the Shandong merchants were secretly colluding with the Japanese soldier Mitsui Meitaro.

He had even lost the will to investigate the truth behind it.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Ye Shaohong jumped out of the car and turned to look at Yan Shuangying.

"Brother Yan."

"Should we wait for reinforcements, or charge in now?" Actually, Ye Shaohong didn't need to ask this question at all. He only asked it to show his respect for Yan Shuangying.

After all, Yan Shuangying had already rescued him three times.

Ye Shaohong understood and appreciated this gesture.

"It's your territory, so of course you're in charge."

"I have no other demands, I just want to capture Mitsui Meitaro and kill him with my own hands!"

Yan Shuangying's reply was straightforward; he was neither stubborn nor did he intend to cause trouble for Ye Shaohong.

"Well."

"I'll arrange for someone to contact the director right now. I'll have to trouble you to wait a moment, Brother Yan!"

After saying that, Ye Shaohong looked at Chi Tiecheng.

After nodding, Chi Tiecheng turned and walked out of the alley, disappearing into the night.

Ten minutes later.

When Chi Tiecheng returned, he was followed by more than twenty black-clad gunmen from the Special Service Department. These were personnel dispatched from the nearby Anti-Smoking Committee office on Dai Yunong's personal orders.

This shows that after the Mitsui Meitaro infiltration incident, Dai Yunong became more cautious about the personnel and strength within the headquarters.

Or rather, there was a growing sense of skepticism.

Although the smoking cessation committee was not under the jurisdiction of the Special Service Department, it was still a force controlled by Dai Yunong.

It was also a special institution through which Dai Yunong helped the Chairman to plunder wealth from the people.

Because this organization doesn't handle military intelligence, it can essentially eliminate the risk of enemy spies infiltrating, making it trustworthy in the task of hunting down Japanese spies. Ye Shaohong understood the machinations of these high-ranking personnel, but he had no interest in paying them any mind.

Once everyone was ready, he waved his hand sharply, and under Chi Tiecheng's leadership, the black-clad gunmen from the Smoking Cessation Committee immediately began their operation.

No one knocked on the door.

Instead, they all chose to climb over the wall and jump in.

This also shows that the members of the smoking cessation committee must have received instructions and orders from their superiors before they came to participate in the operation.

They acted very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, four or five people climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard in front.

Then, ear-piercing gunshots immediately rang out from inside the mansion.

This surprised Ye Shaohong slightly.

The people inside the courtyard are quite vigilant. As soon as the gunman from the smoking cessation committee entered, they noticed and reacted.

But this also illustrates one thing.

That means the owner of the mansion probably knew Mitsui Meitaro's identity, which is why he took such a strict defensive stance in Jinling City, a city with a relatively stable security situation and a strong national government.

"Humph!"

"Things that don't know whether to live or die."

"Leave some people outside to keep watch and prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos."

"The rest of you, come with me and rush in."

Since Ye Shaohong accepted the investigation into the major leak case of the General Staff Department, and during that time he also discovered the "Grey Wolf" intelligence group, he has been under great pressure.

During this period, he also survived several assassination attempts. Ye Shaohong was already harboring a lot of anger, and now he saw a businessman from Shandong Province who dared to resist arrest.

Ye Shaohong became even more furious.

He pulled out his Browning M1910 pistol from his waistband, leaped over the wall, and jumped onto the wall.

Ye Shaohong believed that he had acted quickly enough.

But Yan Shuangying was faster than him.

It was even more terrifying than Ye Shaohong's skills.

Ye Shaohong climbed the high wall, used it for leverage to jump, and briefly regained his footing on the wall.

Yan Shuangying simply made a control movement; he braced his arm slightly against the high wall, and he was already the first to enter the battlefield.

Gunfire rang out.

Before Ye Shaohong could even climb down from the high wall, three or four guards patrolling the courtyard had already fallen to Yan Shuangying's gun. By the time Ye Shaohong jumped down, Yan Shuangying had already rushed into the depths of the courtyard ahead of him.

Then, a Japanese soldier dressed entirely in black, holding a long knife, suddenly appeared from the darkness and blocked Yan Shuangying's path.

Another Japanese ninja.

Moreover, this Japanese ninja was clearly more powerful than the two Japanese ninjas Ye Shaohong had encountered a few days ago.

He was actually able to briefly clash with Yan Shuangying, who was half-human and half-ghost.

at the same time.

Three more people rushed out of the courtyard. As soon as they appeared, they threw melon grenades and ran towards the back gate of the courtyard without waiting for them to explode.

Upon seeing these three people, especially the man leading the group, Ye Shaohong's expression immediately darkened.

It's Mitsui Meitaro. He was indeed hiding in this mansion.

Seeing that he wanted to run away, Ye Shaohong didn't hesitate and raised his hand to fire a shot at the location of Mitsui Meitaro...
