Chapter 608 A Pear Tree Overshadows a Crabapple

"Adopted daughter?"

Upon hearing this unusual introduction, Ye Shaohong's lips twitched involuntarily.

As someone who traveled from the future, he was very sensitive to these two words.

Unlike others of this era.

If people of this era heard Mayor Wang's introduction of this pretty young woman, they would hardly make any other associations.

But Ye Shaohong is different; he thinks about things more deeply.

They will also pay more attention.

Upon this observation, he did indeed discover something unusual.

First of all, this niece and goddaughter that Mayor Wang mentioned has a very arrogant temperament.

Just now, when he and Li Yunlong entered the room, this pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen years old heard the footsteps and looked up at them.

That glance swept over me, carrying a hint of indifference beneath its coldness.

This is not the kind of attitude that a mayor's niece or goddaughter would display.

then.

When Mayor Wang introduced Ye Shaohong's identity, the pretty seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl did not show much surprise.

She didn't even have the interest to stand up and meet and talk with Ye Shaohong.

This shows what?

This shows that she didn't care about Ye Shaohong's identity at all, and didn't take Ye Shaohong, the station chief of the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department, seriously. So where did her confidence come from?

Niece, goddaughter?

Such a status is not enough to support her arrogant and disrespectful attitude.

In a brief moment, Ye Shaohong determined the woman's identity and lost all interest in talking to her.

After taking a few steps, Ye Shaohong arrived at Mayor Wang's bedside. He took the fruit basket that Li Yunlong had prepared from him and placed it on the coffee table next to him.

Then he launched into meaningless, hypocritical pleasantries.

It was simply to explain why he hadn't come to visit for the past two days.

I hope Mayor Wang won't take offense, etc.

Then, Ye Shaohong changed the subject and brought up the assassination case from a few days ago again.

He told Mayor Wang that the identity of the perpetrator had been basically determined.

As he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong paused deliberately, glancing subtly at the pretty young woman beside the hospital bed.

The implication was that he wanted to ask Mayor Wang whether what he was about to say was appropriate for the pretty young girl to hear.

Upon glancing at her, Ye Shaohong was surprised to find that when the pretty young girl heard him mention the assassination case, a hint of curiosity finally appeared on her proud and almost indifferent face.

Although she didn't look up at Ye Shaohong, her expression and actions already conveyed her concern.

What puzzled Ye Shaohong even more was that Mayor Wang clearly noticed Ye Shaohong's signal.

Ultimately, however, no response was given.

It was as if he didn't mind that the pretty girl overheard him putting himself in danger.

The strange relationship between the two piqued Ye Shaohong's interest.

So he decided to stop delaying and hesitating.

He began to recount without reservation the findings of his investigation over the past two days and all his speculations.

When Ye Shaohong mentioned that he suspected the mastermind was George from the American company Hammer, a ruthless glint flashed across Mayor Wang's face.

At the same time, the pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen years old beside the hospital bed trembled slightly.

obviously.

They should both know George from Hammill Company.

It's very likely that something else happened between them.

It's not a good thing yet.

Otherwise, the pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen years old beside the hospital bed would never have taken off her proud and aloof mask and shown a look of panic.

"Damn it!" "I knew it! The assassin's target this time should have been you."

"So I was the one who took the blame for you."

Ye Shaohong cursed inwardly, but outwardly showed no sign of anything amiss.

He continued recounting how the case was solved.

After everything was recounted, Ye Shaohong acted as if he hadn't noticed anything and asked Mayor Wang if he knew George from Hammer Company.

The reply he received was not unexpected for Ye Shaohong.

Mayor Wang, without hesitation, denied Ye Shaohong's question.

Then this old fox immediately bared his fangs and began to ask Ye Shaohong how he planned to handle the matter.

How does Ye Shaohong plan to deal with George from the Hammer Company, the suspected murderer in this case? Mayor Wang has made it clear that he doesn't want to get involved.

He also wanted to use Ye Shaohong to eliminate the threat posed by George, the owner of Hammill Company.

Politicians have truly dirty hearts.

They are cunning and ruthless when they scheme against others.

Ye Shaohong was well-prepared for this.

He chuckled.

Then he backed down, showing that he did not want to get too involved in the case.

"Mayor Wang."

"This is a very troublesome matter, as it involves foreigners and is quite sensitive."

“With my authority, I can no longer handle this matter, and as you just said, you don’t know George, the owner of Hammill Company.” “The whole case is now in a stalemate. I have no leads and no authority to investigate further.”

"So my idea is to report this matter to the Special Service Headquarters in Jinling City and to Director Dai Yunong so that he can make a decision."

This was the normal procedure for the Special Service Department to handle cases, and Ye Shaohong wasn't afraid to tell Mayor Wang and the pretty young girl by the hospital bed.

But this is clearly not the outcome Mayor Wang wanted to see.

So he hesitated.

"Station Chief Ye, I have long heard of your great name, and I know that you are a rising star and a promising young talent in the Special Service Department."

"I also know that you are extremely good at solving cases."

"Don't you have any other ideas?"

Mayor Wang, that old fox, is truly cunning. He couldn't openly refuse Ye Shaohong's proposal, yet he was unwilling to easily let go of Ye Shaohong, this sharp blade. In order to change Ye Shaohong's mind, he began to lower his stance.

He began to flatter Ye Shaohong.

Finally, without leaving a trace, they tried to provoke Ye Shaohong's competitive spirit, hoping to turn the situation around again.

Ye Shaohong was not someone to be trifled with.

He chuckled softly.

He shook his head silently again.

"Mayor Wang, you can't say that. I am good at solving cases, but I am also a member of the intelligence system."

"I have superiors above me, and I also have the rules of the Secret Service."

"You may have heard how strict the rules are in my Special Service. This case is now in a stalemate, and your identity is special."

"Even if I'm unwilling, I can only report the truth." "I only hope that when the Chief hears about this, he can send a capable person from Nanjing to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

At this point in his story, Ye Shaohong also showed a hint of resentment.

He also used the big label that the Special Service was a different system and had different rules from the Nationalist government's administrative agencies to completely block all of Mayor Wang's schemes.

This silenced the old fox Mayor Wang, who was lying in his hospital bed.

"Hey!"

"It seems that's all it can do."

"It's my fault for forgetting that your intelligence system doesn't easily interfere in local affairs."

"Then let's do as Station Chief Ye says."

Mayor Wang sighed softly, as if he were disappointed with the result. After speaking, he immediately closed his eyes.

He looked exhausted.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong understood, and he immediately stood up and told Mayor Wang that he wanted to take his leave.

They walked out of the intensive care unit together, with Li Yunlong by their side.

When the two walked to the hospital entrance, Ye Shaohong suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked toward the ward where Mayor Wang was.

Then he saw a slender figure flash by at the window of the ward.

Without guessing or thinking, Ye Shaohong immediately recognized the man's identity.

It was the pretty seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl beside Mayor Wang's sickbed.

She had been secretly watching all along.

This made Ye Shaohong laugh out loud again, and at the same time, he turned around and looked at Li Yunlong.

"Yunlong, what do you think?"

Li Yunlong had been watching everything that happened today, and given Ye Shaohong's understanding of him, Li Yunlong should have been able to discover some of the details.

That's why he asked the question.

"Hey!"

"Stationmaster, our Mayor Wang is truly young at heart despite his advanced age."

"He's clearly like a pear tree overshadowing a crabapple tree."

"You're really lucky with women."

Li Yunlong curled his lip, and he also turned around to look at the ward where Mayor Wang was, looking quite envious and jealous.

"Don't give me that nonsense."

"Am I asking about that old fox's scandalous affairs?"

"I'll give you one more chance. Be honest and tell me your opinion."

Ye Shaohong's face darkened. If Li Yunlong could discover something, surely Ye Shaohong could too?

He shared the same thoughts as Li Yunlong.

But work comes first. He hasn't solved his current problems yet, so he doesn't have the time to chat with Li Yunlong about trivial matters.

"Yes!"

"Stationmaster, I was wrong!"

Li Yunlong grinned and frankly admitted his mistake to Ye Shaohong.

His expression then darkened.

"Stationmaster, if I'm not mistaken, Mayor Wang and that female scholar should know George from Hammill Company."

"They deliberately concealed this from us."

“There’s something wrong here.” “I think if we continue the investigation, we might be able to uncover the truth behind this assassination.”
