Chapter 615 Taking Control of the Overall Situation

Ye Shaohong did not intend to get involved in the matter of allocating funds himself.

He wanted Yu Manli to complete this task.

There was nothing else on my mind.

It's just that Yu Manli now controls the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department, and the funding channels she can access are much stronger than Ye Shaohong's.

It's also much more secretive.

With Yu Manli handling this matter, it will save Ye Shaohong a lot of trouble.

After discussing it, Yu Manli got up and left.

She was about to leave to deal with the matter.

With Yu Manli's departure, Ye Shaohong gathered his scattered thoughts and resumed dealing with station duties. Around noon, Chi Tiecheng returned first.

This time he had a good haul. According to the middle school teacher's confession, Chi Tiecheng captured a total of five Japanese spies.

During the operation, they also seized the radio and codebook of the "Pine Crane" intelligence team.

It can be considered a complete victory in one battle.

After capturing these lurking Japanese spies, Chi Tiecheng immediately knocked on Ye Shaohong's door.

He reported on his achievements of the day.

After receiving a few words of praise from Ye Shaohong, Chi Tiecheng was even more excited. He didn't even eat lunch and hurriedly led his men to begin the interrogation.

Ye Shaohong was quite pleased to see his subordinates so motivated.

After some thought, not wanting to disappoint Chi Tiecheng, he drafted a new telegram, reporting the successful capture of the "Pine Crane" intelligence team to the Nanjing Special Service Headquarters. Naturally, this earned him Dai Yunong's praise once again.

However, this time, Dai Yunong did not use this incident to promote Ye Shaohong and Chi Tiecheng's military ranks.

the reason is simple.

Before Ye Shaohong took office as the station chief of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department, his military rank had already been promoted to lieutenant colonel.

At this stage, Ye Shaohong's military rank has almost reached the pinnacle of the Special Service Department.

It should be noted that before the Military Intelligence Bureau was established, Dai Yunong's official military rank was only colonel.

Ye Shaohong is so young, yet he has already reached such a level, which is extremely outstanding.

He never even dared to hope for this.

after all.

Looking at the world, the ranks of those in the intelligence system are suppressed, whether in the West, Europe and America, or Japan.

There is one exception.

This is a special case, but it's really hard to say explicitly...

After reviewing the telegram sent from the Jinling headquarters, Ye Shaohong immediately put it into the safe.

Since Dai Yunong was unwilling to offer a generous reward, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to take over the matter.

With a flourish of his pen, he issued an order to generously reward Chi Tiecheng and the action department under his command.

Especially those who participated in the capture of the "Songhe" intelligence team.

Although Ye Shaohong was only trying these official skills and methods of winning people's hearts for the first time, he was able to handle them with ease.

After resolving the matter, Ye Shaohong didn't rest. He picked up the telephone on the table and dialed Li Yunlong, who was monitoring the situation outside.

He wanted to find out what was going on with Li Yunlong. It was only after asking that Ye Shaohong learned that Li Yunlong had run into trouble.

George, the owner of Hammill Company whom he was in charge of tracking and investigating, suddenly disappeared this morning.

Do not!

It shouldn't be called missing; it should be said that they are suspected of being kidnapped.

This piqued Ye Shaohong's interest.

He knew Li Yunlong's skills; Li Yunlong was a former bandit king from the north, and in terms of actual combat ability, he was indeed not very good.

However, the lightness skills and movement techniques of the Swallow Sect are among the best in the entire China.

Now, someone has actually managed to kidnap George from Hamer Company right in front of Li Yunlong, using methods that are completely undetectable. Could it be that another top-tier expert has appeared?

That shouldn't be the case. As far as Ye Shaohong knew, the core plot development of spy dramas in the early Republican era mainly focused on Nanjing, Shanghai, and Northeast China.

Spy dramas set in Jiangcheng are not entirely nonexistent, but they are extremely rare.

Without the protagonist's aura of destiny in spy dramas, very few people could surpass Li Yunlong in terms of skill and ability.

After all, Li Yunlong, the main villain, also has some protagonist aura.

Aside from that, only the strong among the common people remain.

Ye Shaohong could understand this.

My China, with its long history of five thousand years, encompasses a territory of over ten million square kilometers, including Outer Mongolia. Some reclusive masters among the common people can accept this.

The most typical example is the anti-Japanese fighters in the "Legend of the Republic of China".

Although they aren't the main characters in a spy drama, their physical skills are extremely formidable. Tearing apart Japanese soldiers with bare hands is a prime example of their abilities.

"It's a bit troublesome."

"If we really encounter such an extraordinary person from the common people, with the personnel I have at hand right now, we really won't be able to handle it."

"It's a pity that Brother Yan Shuangying has already passed away..."

Thoughts flashed through Ye Shaohong's mind, and without delay, he immediately ordered Li Yunlong to find a way to send people into the embassy district to investigate the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of George, the owner of Hammer Company.

At the same time, don't forget to continue monitoring Mayor Wang inside Jiangcheng City Hospital.

In Ye Shaohong's view, George from the Hammer Company must have some connection with Mayor Wang.

George's disappearance must also be related to Mayor Wang.

If Li Yunlong can't uncover the truth behind George's disappearance in the embassy district, then monitoring Mayor Wang's whereabouts might be a viable approach to solving the case. However, Mayor Wang's identity is far too unique.

Dai Yunong also personally sent a telegram to Ye Shaohong, strictly ordering him not to continue interfering in the matter. Therefore, he should continue to follow up and investigate Mayor Wang, and be more cautious in his actions.

In order to achieve this goal, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to order Li Yunlong to personally follow and investigate Mayor Wang.

After all, he was the bandit king of the North.

Li Yunlong's lightness skill was superb; if he personally took action to track and investigate Mayor Wang's whereabouts, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to find him.

Ye Shaohong then inquired about the brothel.

This matter involves Japanese spies, and Ye Shaohong cannot let it go easily.

Li Yunlong also responded to this. Although he had been busy investigating Mayor Wang and George of Hammill Company these past few days, he had not forgotten about the brothel.

Li Yunlong also assigned his capable subordinates to conduct surveillance and investigations near the brothel.

For the time being, no valuable clues or suspected individuals have been found.

Intelligence work often comes down to patience.

Ye Shaohong wasn't in a hurry.

He first gently comforted Li Yunlong, telling him not to be discouraged and to continue his intelligence gathering work. He also told him that if he needed any support, he could just tell him, and Ye Shaohong promised to support him to the greatest extent possible.

With Ye Shaohong's statement, Li Yunlong was completely relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong thought about it and still felt it wasn't safe or thorough enough. In order to control Mayor Wang's movements to the greatest extent possible, Ye Shaohong couldn't help but think of someone.

That's Yu Xiaowan.

This passionate and outspoken young woman is currently working at Jiangcheng City Hospital. On the night Mayor Wang was assassinated, it was Yu Xiaowan who performed the debridement surgery on him.

When the two met before, Ye Shaohong was slightly surprised and had a brief conversation with Yu Xiaowan. However, due to Mayor Wang's recent serious injury and hospitalization, the two did not have any further contact.

Now it seems I should perhaps meet that pretty girl...
