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

Chapter 602 Assassination

Yu Manli's question made Ye Shaohong slightly lost in thought.

To be honest, even Ye Shaohong himself hadn't considered what his purpose was in doing this today.

Is it really just a work-related relationship?

probably.

At least at this moment, Ye Shaohong truly had no intention of suppressing Chi Tiecheng.

He had no interest in playing with balance.

As for what will happen in the future, Ye Shaohong could not make any guarantees.

Whether the story of the dragon-slaying youth turning into a dragon will happen to him remains to be seen. For now, Ye Shaohong still retains his original aspirations; he simply wants to uncover as many hidden Japanese spies as possible.

After figuring these things out, Ye Shaohong smiled.

He did not respond to Yu Manli.

After stuffing the half-eaten steamed bun into his mouth and eating a few bites of pickled vegetables, Ye Shaohong stood up.

When he sat down in his office chair, Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng also arrived.

Ye Shaohong asked Chi Tiecheng to briefly recount what had happened to Li Yunlong.

Immediately, Ye Shaohong turned his gaze to Li Yunlong.

"Yunlong".

"This is your first case since you took over the intelligence section of Jiangcheng Station. I hope you will treat it with caution."

"Don't make any mistakes." "If any suspicious clues are discovered during the investigation, I don't want you to keep them to yourself. You must report them to me immediately and also pass them on to Tiecheng."

"After all... this clue was found by Tie Cheng."

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Li Yunlong immediately responded, promising that there would be absolutely no problems.

At the same time, Chi Tiecheng, who had been somewhat displeased, smiled again.

He was not a fool or stupid person.

Through Ye Shaohong's words, Chi Tiecheng understood that Ye Shaohong was not deliberately suppressing him today, but simply wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish.

Or rather, they want to make this cake bigger.

If that's the case, then he won't lose out.

Hearing this, Ye Shaohong comforted and reassured his two generals. He then waved his hand, and Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng took their leave.

Yu Manli still hadn't left.

This puzzled Ye Shaohong. Did this young girl want to get closer to him here?

Ye Shaohong did have this idea.

I also found it very exciting.

But he had just taken over as the stationmaster of Jiangcheng Station and was very busy with his work. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't find the time.

I really can't find the time.

Who can blame him for being so strong in that area? He can easily last forty or fifty minutes with just a little exercise, and when he gets into the mood, one or two hours is not uncommon.

In this workplace, if you get provoked, you won't be able to control your temper.

Forcing himself to calm the fire in his heart, Ye Shao turned to look at Yu Manli. He pulled her into his arms.

"What, is there something else you need?"

"Yes, there really is!"

Yu Manli nodded, shifted her body slightly to find a position she found comfortable, and then opened her mouth to respond.

"Here's the thing, while you were sleeping just now, the Secretary-General of the Jiangcheng Municipal Government called me."

He said Mayor Wang wants to meet with you!

“Besides him, I also received calls from several other department heads who made similar requests.”

Because Ye Shaohong had just taken office, he had not yet found a suitable secretary, so Manli was temporarily taking over these daily work and reception tasks.

Yu Manli can make her own decisions about most minor matters.

However, she had to consult Ye Shaohong before making any decisions regarding the formalities and personal relationships involved in officialdom.

"Mayor Wang?"

Why would he suddenly contact me?

"The heads of these government agencies have always looked down on our intelligence agencies. Could it be that they are doing this for...?"

Having formed a guess in his mind, Ye Shaohong did not rush to respond immediately.

He tapped the table lightly with his hand, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and after a moment, he nodded.

"it is good."

"Please contact the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government later and tell him that I am hosting a banquet at Hongbinlou Restaurant tonight and would like to invite Mayor Wang to meet me!"

"As for the heads of the other departments, I simply won't meet with them. They're all just asking for favors anyway, and meeting them would only make me more hesitant and wouldn't be helpful for my subsequent crackdown efforts!" I really had no other choice.

The current Ye Shaohong is different from before. Before, he was just a section chief at the Jinling headquarters.

He could try his best to decline official favors and obligations.

But now?

He was already the station chief of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department, a powerful figure in the area, controlling the future of hundreds of people at the station and managing their hopes for a better life.

Even if he was unwilling, he still had to take on certain responsibilities when entertaining guests on someone else's turf.

This is probably an inevitable consequence of a change in status and position.

After seeing Yu Manli off, Ye Shaohong immediately threw himself into his work.

Time flew by, and soon it was time to leave work.

Pushing aside the unfinished documents on the table, Ye Shaohong rubbed his slightly sore wrist before picking up the phone and calling Yu Manli.

"Manli, pack your things there, and come with me to Hongbinlou later."

"Ok, I will wait for you!"

After finishing his sentence and hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong got up and walked to the wardrobe.

He changed into a military uniform.

This was the result of his careful consideration; if he were to meet Mayor Wang in his military uniform today, the occasion would be too formal.

Instead, they weren't wearing regular clothes.

It can also make the atmosphere of tonight's dinner more relaxed, and leave some room for each other in certain matters.

In this light, this promotion was not as easy or pleasant as before.

After changing his clothes, Ye Shaohong walked down the office building. He waited for a moment in front of the building and then saw Yu Manli. She was indeed intelligent; without Ye Shaohong's prompting, she had also changed into her military uniform.

The two got into the car and, led by the driver, arrived at Jiangcheng Hongbinlou Restaurant.

Because the room was booked in advance, there was no waiting.

Soon a sumptuous feast was served.

After waiting for a while, two Ford sedans slowly stopped in front of Hongbinlou. Hearing the sound of the car engines, Ye Shaohong called to Yu Manli and they went out together.

Get ready to welcome the bigwigs of Jiangcheng.

But then an unexpected situation occurred.

Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli had just stepped out of Hongbinlou and hadn't even had a chance to greet Mayor Wang when a gunshot suddenly rang out from afar.

Then, in Ye Shaohong's view, Mayor Wang, who had just gotten out of the car, swayed and fell to the ground.

The secretary-general who came with Mayor Wang today was also agile. Upon hearing the gunshot and seeing Mayor Wang collapse to the ground, he almost didn't hesitate and immediately pounced on him.

He shielded Mayor Wang with his body.

This change came too suddenly, so suddenly that even Ye Shaohong was caught off guard.

Then his face immediately darkened.

"Oh shit!"

"Who did this? Are they trying to get me killed?"

"Manli, save him!"

The cold voice rang out, and Ye Shaohong no longer hesitated. He reached behind his back and pulled out his Browning M1910 pistol. After a few steps, he was beside Mayor Wang's car. His gaze swept across the scene, immediately locking onto the gunman's location. He pulled the trigger of the Browning pistol…
