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

Chapter 659 Sending You On Your Way

The time apart is long, the time together is short.

After the banquet, Ye Shaohong originally wanted to invite Xu Baichuan to stay at his home temporarily.

But in the end, Xu Baichuan still refused.

Xu Baichuan did not explain why he refused, and Ye Shaohong did not press him for an answer.

They both knew it perfectly well.

Even Ye Shaohong suspected that if Xu Baichuan hadn't come to inform him of the deaths of his third and eighth brothers, he might not have taken the initiative to meet with him this time.

This is what makes the intelligence industry so special.

Both of them are industry professionals and hold high positions, so they can understand each other's predicaments.

They embraced and said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant. Xu Baichuan, carrying his large suitcase, got into a rickshaw and drove away.

"Let's go too!"

As Xu Baichuan's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, Ye Shaohong took a long breath and reached out to hug Yu Manli's slender waist.

"Ok!"

Yu Manli responded softly.

Clearly, after hearing the news of her third and eighth brothers' sacrifices at the banquet, she could understand Ye Shaohong's feelings, which is why she was exceptionally gentle and considerate today.

Back home, Yu Manli even went into the kitchen herself.

Prepare a hangover remedy for Ye Shaohong.

She then served him by washing his feet and helping him rest, perfectly embodying the traditional Chinese ideal of a virtuous wife.

Early the next morning.

Ye Shaohong then went to the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department.

Upon entering the station, he had just sat down in his office and hadn't even had time to make a cup of tea when Li Yunlong rushed over.

"Station Master!"

"I have already investigated the attack on the Party Affairs Investigation Department's headquarters."

"This is the case closure report."

"Please review it."

Although it was a self-deceiving and false pretense, Li Yunlong still managed to put on a facade.

Ye Shaohong took the case report and looked through it for a while with his head down.

"Very good." "Overall, it's quite perfect, but there are a few places that are not rigorous enough. I'll mark them for you, and you can rewrite them when you get back."

"Then, in your name, go directly to the telecommunications department and send it to the Nanjing headquarters!"

Ye Shaohong picked up his pen and scribbled on the case report for a while, circling his suggestions for revision.

Then the case closure report was delivered to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took it and looked at it.

His lips twitched slightly, but he eventually nodded, accepting Ye Shaohong's suggestions for revision.

Ye Shaohong was quite satisfied with Li Yunlong's obedient and sensible nature.

He put down the pen he was holding and tapped the table a few times with his fingers.

"Yunlong, don't blame me. This matter is far more complicated than you imagine."

"I'm not saying I'm doing this for your own good, but I can promise that I have absolutely no intention of harming you."

Having explained his actions in one sentence, Ye Shaohong raised his hand and waved it off, interrupting Li Yunlong's response.

Subsequently.

He reached into the drawer beside him, opened it, and took out a new document.

He tossed it down in front of Li Yunlong.

"have a look."

"This is what I just found out; it concerns the treasure of the Great Western King."

"This time, the appearance of the Great Western King's treasure has attracted quite a few outsiders."

“They’ve all got their eyes on this fortune.” “After you’ve rewritten the report on the attack on the Party Affairs Investigation Department’s headquarters, you’ll be taking over this case.”

"Be careful not to let greed cloud your judgment."

"I don't want you to lose your life for something so unrealistic!"

If Li Yunlong hadn't been so obedient and sensible today, Ye Shaohong would have found a way to kill him, based on the fact that he had secretly searched George's body and hidden it away.

This is just giving Li Yunlong another chance.

It all depends on whether Li Yunlong can seize the opportunity.

"this……."

"Station manager, is this all true?"

"Mayor Wang, the Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Chen family, the Kong family, the Japanese devils..."

"They actually got involved?"

Li Yunlong opened the file bag, glanced through it briefly, and his body immediately trembled, a look of fear and lingering dread appearing on his face.

"What do you think?"

"If this case weren't so complicated and involved so many people, would I, with my temperament, have allowed those monsters and demons to run rampant in Jiangcheng?"

"You're still too young; you need to learn gradually!"

When Ye Shaohong said these words, he himself forgot that he was actually a few years younger than Li Yunlong.

But this is not important.

As the ancient Chinese sages once said, "Those who are accomplished are teachers."

Ye Shaohong's position is higher than Li Yunlong's, and his knowledge and mind are also broader than Li Yunlong's, so Ye Shaohong has the right to say this.

"The stationmaster is right!"

"It was my recklessness, please forgive me, stationmaster!"

Li Yunlong was quite straightforward; he admitted his mistake without hesitation and readily accepted Ye Shaohong's criticism.

To Ye Shaohong's disappointment, even at this point, Li Yunlong still did not frankly admit to him everything he had done.

This also shows that although Li Yunlong has outwardly acknowledged his mistakes, he still has not given up on the astonishing wealth of the Great Western King's Treasure.

"That's it!"

"Let him be."

"Although I was plotting against him in secret, I also left him a way out. It all depends on whether he can struggle to climb out in the end."

With that in mind, Ye Shaohong talked with Li Yunlong for a while, telling him about the current situation in Jiangcheng.

And his speculations about the future.

Ye Shaohong then dismissed Li Yunlong. After seeing Li Yunlong, Ye Shaohong returned to his normal work.

He was the station chief of the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department. His daily work involved much more than just detecting Japanese spies.

For example, the training of station staff, logistics, and personnel allocation.

Although these matters are handled by specific department staff, the overall direction still requires his personal final decision.

And this busy period lasted until noon.

Just as it was about lunchtime, a phone call suddenly came into Ye Shaohong's office.

Ye Shaohong picked up the phone and put it to his ear. Before he could even speak, a series of urgent cries for help came from the phone.

"Station Chief Ye... Station Master Ye!"

"Help!" The call came so suddenly that even Ye Shaohong was caught off guard.

He paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

He immediately recognized the voice on the phone.

"Are you... Mayor Wang?"

"Yes, it's me!"

"Station Chief Ye, help! Please, send someone to rescue me quickly!"

The voice on the phone was full of anxiety. When Mayor Wang heard that Ye Shaohong recognized him, he was almost in tears.

"What's going on?"

"Mayor Wang, don't worry, tell me slowly. As long as I, Ye Shaohong, can help, I certainly won't refuse."

As he said this, a faint smile quietly appeared on Ye Shaohong's lips.

Why would he do that? To be honest.

Given Ye Shaohong's current status and position, he would never make promises to just anyone, let alone to a greedy man like Mayor Wang.

The reason is quite simple.

Ye Shaohong just heard gunshots on the phone.

If his guess is correct, Mayor Wang has probably been assassinated once again.

A dying man.

He was a scourge that Ye Shaohong had long been on his blacklist and that he was preparing to eliminate. He was just pretending to delay him for a while, and then he would take the opportunity to send him to his death.

Ye Shaohong was still willing to do such a thing.

"I can't take my time explaining."

"Station Chief Ye, I'm on Yinhe Road, and I'm being chased!" "Please send someone to rescue me immediately!"
