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

Chapter 609 Shadows Moving in All Directions

In his previous life, Ye Shaohong had heard a story from a successful real estate businessman.

He thinks it makes sense.

That's what the real estate developer said.

In today's society, academic qualifications are not actually important; what truly matters is a person's mind.

At the lower levels, use effort; at the middle levels, use intelligence; at the upper levels, use people.

If you want to change your social class and your current situation, you should not focus on how to make and spend money, but rather on trying to change your position.

Education, wealth, and connections—things that ordinary people find unattainable—are all superficial. They are not things you should pray for; on the contrary, they are merely aids on your life's journey.

In China, a society with a five-thousand-year-old tradition of prioritizing official positions, everything else is illusory; only that unattainable status is the true path in life.

When Ye Shaohong heard this, he thought it was a bit extreme.

But the real estate tycoon's last, seemingly joking remark silenced Ye Shaohong on the spot.

What did he say?

He said, "Old Mo, I want to eat fish..."

obviously.

That real estate businessman wasn't a character from a TV drama; he simply wanted to express his thoughts and guide Ye Shaohong's thinking in this way.

Yes, on this land of China, when a person's status and position rise, many things that were originally difficult to solve actually become simple.

Just like Gao Qiqiang.

If he were still the fishmonger he once was, even if he had done Old Mo a great favor, would Old Mo have done something as illegal as murder for him?

No.

What enabled Gao Qiqiang to control Lao Mo?

The gratitude was one aspect, but his extraordinary status, absolute power, and wealth sufficient to resolve Old Mo's affairs after his death were the root of everything.

The real estate developer's words may be straightforward and simple, but the principle is the same.

Just like now.

After Ye Shaohong's status rose and he became the station chief of the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department, his style of doing things also underwent subtle changes. He began to consciously reduce his involvement in frontline operations.

Begin to learn and understand human nature and human psychology.

I started trying to identify and utilize talent.

That's why he entrusted the task of investigating the women around Mayor Wang to Li Yunlong.

What is the reason?

Firstly, Li Yunlong was the head of the intelligence section of the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department, so this task should have been assigned to him in the first place.

On the other hand, Li Yunlong had been involved in street activities since childhood, and he also had special methods to find out information that others could not obtain in a very short time.

This is the concept of personnel management at the senior management level.

at the same time.

In the intensive care unit of Jiangcheng City Hospital, as Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong left, Mayor Wang, who had been lying on the hospital bed, slowly sat up. His face was ashen, and his eyes held a murderous intent.

After sitting up straight, Mayor Wang quietly clenched his fists and let out a cold groan.

"George!"

"It sure is him!"

"I'm still too soft-hearted. If I had known this would happen, I should have found a way to kill him back then. How could I have ended up in this situation now?"

After the muffled, cold groan subsided, Mayor Wang turned around and looked at the pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen.

"Juanzi, have they left?"

At this moment, the pretty young girl was standing at the window, cautiously looking downstairs through the curtains.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to be startled and took several steps back.

"What's wrong?" Mayor Wang asked, surprised and puzzled.

“That man… that stationmaster surnamed Ye, he seems to have seen me.”

The pretty young girl tried to calm her chaotic emotions as she turned around and hurriedly responded.

"Did he see you?"

"You mean, he just glanced back at our room from downstairs?"

"The newly appointed stationmaster Ye at Jiangcheng Station is quite a shrewd person."

"He already suspects me."

Mayor Wang gritted his teeth, gaining a deeper understanding of his current predicament.

"no!"

"I don't have much time left. Station Chief Ye is not someone to be trifled with. Since he has already become suspicious of me, he will definitely continue to investigate me in secret."

"If he really finds out my background, my good days will be over."

Despite his severe injuries, Mayor Wang forced himself to stand up from his sickbed. He gritted his teeth, put on his clothes and coat, and looked at the pretty young woman.

"Juanzi, come here and help me to the hospital director's office."

"I need to make a phone call."

"No……."

"We can't contact them by phone. Those bastards in the Secret Service are very good at eavesdropping and surveillance."

"I cannot leave them with concrete evidence."

"Here's what we'll do. You're going out to buy me food later, right? Could you pass on a message to me? Go to the street outside the hospital and see if you see a middle-aged man in his thirties with a large black mole on his left cheek who's selling cigarettes." "When you see him, tell him if he has any Camel brand cigarettes imported from Bald Eagle. He'll tell you he was in a rush today and left the goods at home. If you want them, he'll bring a couple more packs tomorrow."

"Tell him again that two packs aren't enough, and he should take more, preferably along with a pack of 555 cigarettes."

Mayor Wang spoke slowly, while the pretty young woman listened attentively. When he finished speaking, Mayor Wang stopped again.

His eyes were fixed intently on the pretty young girl.

I asked a question.

"Remember?"

"Okay, I've got it. I promise I won't make a single mistake."

"very good!"

"After you've made contact, he'll ask you if you need anything. Just tell him you're in trouble." "South, George, get it over with as quickly as possible!"

"After he finishes saying all this, he'll hand you a pack of Hademen cigarettes. Then, just turn around and leave without saying anything more to him!"

Perhaps due to his intense emotions, or perhaps because Mayor Wang was somewhat nervous, he couldn't help but cough lightly a few times after recounting these events.

"Okay, I've written it all down."

"But... won't someone find out if I do this?"

The pretty young girl hesitated for a moment, then finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

"Ha ha!"

"So what if we find it?"

“I normally smoke Camel cigarettes, it’s not a secret in the city government, many people know that!” “It’s just that because of this injury, the doctor told me to try to quit smoking and drinking, so I’ve refrained from smoking.”

"If anyone asks about this, just tell him exactly what I taught you. There's nothing to hide. Just say that I had a craving for cigarettes and ran out of stock, so I asked you to go out and buy some for me."

"As for those Sanwu cigarettes, just say you were curious about me smoking and wanted to try it. Nobody can stop you from doing that."

"Anyway, this communication code is only for one-time use; it's useless after it's used."

"Even if others find out and use it to make contact with someone, the man selling cigarettes will give a different response so as not to arouse suspicion. On the contrary, it can serve as a warning to us."

"Besides, to confirm this matter, you can go out again tomorrow at noon and bring back the cigarettes we agreed to buy. That way, the evidence will be consistent, and no one can say there's any mistake!"
