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

Chapter 600 Progress

To be honest, Ye Shaohong really didn't want to cause any trouble.

If he had a choice, he would definitely prefer to complete the capture mission smoothly.

But he had no choice.

The officialdom of the Republic of China was indeed that dark.

Personal connections, relationships, power, and background have become indelible marks on the officialdom of the Republic of China.

The most prominent examples are the Baoding Clique and the Huangpu Clique.

Beneath these two major power groups, there are many smaller factions, such as Chen Cheng's Civil Engineering faction and Yan Laokou's Northwest Army, etc.

Even Ye Shaohong couldn't escape this preconceived notion.

Behind him are also the backgrounds of the Huangpu Military Academy and Jiangshan Military Academy factions.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Ye Shaohong often has to give extra consideration when dealing with these traitors and collaborators.

Occasionally, when you encounter someone who's blind to your authority, you're forced to put on a show and flaunt your power and prestige.

Just like now.

After receiving Ye Shaohong's order, Chi Tiecheng became excited.

During the arrest of the middle-aged man, Chi Tiecheng had clearly suffered a lot of anger, which was still nagging at him.

Now that he had a chance to vent, Chi Tiecheng was naturally unwilling to let it slip by.

He grinned maliciously, walked up to the middle-aged man, bent down, grabbed the man's hair, and dragged him out of the crowd. Once in the square, Chi Tiecheng gave the man a hard shove, tossing him away like a dead dog.

Before the surrounding crowd could react or shout to stop him, Chi Tiecheng had already slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the middle-aged man who had just struggled to get up from the ground fell back down with his head tilted to the side.

"Deputy Vice Minister Zhou, right?"

"You're his brother-in-law, how dare you act so disrespectfully in front of our Special Service Department?"

"You have such a lot of nerve!"

"Come on, you were so arrogant just now, stand up and yell at me a few more times."

"Look at your background and status, are you scared yet?!"

Chi Tiecheng was truly enraged this time, so when he made his move, he was extremely ruthless. With a single slap, the middle-aged man's cheek swelled up rapidly in just a moment.

Five bright red finger marks were clearly visible to everyone.

"you……."

"If you dare hit me, I'm going to Nanjing to find my brother-in-law, and I'll have him deal with you."

"You are dead!"

In front of everyone, the middle-aged man was slapped hard across the face by Chi Tiecheng. Still somewhat indignant, he raised his hand, pointed at Chi Tiecheng, and threatened and shouted while trembling all over.

But he clearly misjudged the situation.

Others might not know how powerful Ye Shaohong's background is, but how could Chi Tiecheng, who has followed Ye Shaohong for a long time, not know?

Now that Ye Shaohong had given the order to teach this middle-aged man a lesson, Chi Tiecheng felt emboldened.

"You dare point your finger at me?"

"Traitor dog!"

"I see you don't want this finger anymore, so I'll grant your wish."

Chi Tiecheng raised a thick eyebrow, took a few steps, and arrived in front of the middle-aged man, grabbing the man's outstretched finger.

With a forceful snap, the middle-aged man's finger broke off and lay flat against the back of his hand.

Chi Tiecheng's move this time was not significant.

But for these bureaucrats who usually just sit in their offices and are used to lording it over others, that was far more brutal than a slap.

The relentless pain emanating from his severed finger caused him to scream in agony. This middle-aged man was certainly no ordinary person.

Before suffering a loss, he thought he could rely on his power and background to bully and humiliate Chi Tiecheng and others, but after he actually suffered a loss, he instantly became sober and calm.

This time, he stopped shouting and yelling. He simply covered his severed finger with his intact hand, still sitting on the ground, looking at Chi Tiecheng with resentment.

Judging from his expression, he clearly harbored a grudge against Chi Tiecheng.

He was secretly plotting something, planning to cause trouble for Chi Tiecheng and get revenge after this matter was over.

But he no longer had the chance.

Once inside the Special Service Department, especially after falling into Ye Shaohong's hands, how could a traitor like him possibly escape safely?

That's simply impossible.

Seeing that the ringleader among them had been punished, Ye Shaohong lost interest in continuing to watch. "Alright."

"It's almost dawn, why waste time with them here? Take them all to the jail."

"Interrogate them as soon as possible."

"I'm only giving you half a day. You must get these people to talk!"

"Let's start with this guy."

Ye Shaohong waved his hand, first summoning the personnel from the Action Section to take away these arrested traitors and collaborators, then pointing at the middle-aged man.

Chi Tiecheng immediately grinned slyly.

"Stationmaster, you've been up all night too, go back and get some rest."

"I promise you, once you wake up, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

After saying that, Chi Tiecheng did not hesitate any longer. He followed the personnel from the Action Section, escorting these traitors and collaborators towards the prison.

Ye Shaohong stood there, yawned, turned around and called to Li Yunlong, who had also not rested all night. The two of them went back to the office building together.

It was approaching noon.

There was a knock on Ye Shaohong's office door.

The person who walked in was Yu Manli.

She was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand. After entering the office, Yu Manli placed the food basket on her desk.

Ye Shaohong had just woken up and was washing his face and brushing his teeth.

Upon seeing Yu Manli push the door open and enter, Ye Shaohong quickly sped up his work, rinsed his mouth, grabbed a towel from the wooden washstand, wiped his face, and turned around.

"Why is it you here?" "Didn't I tell you that I would come to find you after I woke up?"

Perhaps because he has already met Yu Manli's parents, Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli are becoming more and more casual with each other.

The two of them looked just like a young couple.

The passion has faded somewhat, but the understanding between them has grown stronger, and they have become an indispensable part of each other's lives.

"Do you think I wanted to come looking for you?"

"It's not Chi Tiecheng yet."

“His interrogation is over. He originally wanted to come directly to you, but he was worried that you were still asleep, so he went to beg me instead.”

"I had no choice but to come here."

"Perfect timing, you're awake too. Come over and have something to eat after you've washed up."

While they were talking, Yu Manli had already taken out all the food from the food basket and placed it on the table.

Seeing that Ye Shaohong had already picked up the steamed bun and started eating with his chopsticks, Yu Manli also walked to Ye Shaohong's desk, picked up the phone on the desk, and called Chi Tiecheng.

"Hello, it's me, Yu Manli."

"I'm in the stationmaster's office. He's awake and eating. If you want to report on your work, come over now."
