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

Chapter 680 Brothers in Confrontation

When Yu Manli's cold, icy voice rang out, Xu Baichuan stopped beating Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong also took the opportunity to stand up.

His lips twitched a few times, and he spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.

"Manli, what are you doing?"

"How could you point a gun at Fourth Brother? Put the gun down right now!"

As they were talking, Ye Shaohong had already walked to Yu Manli's side. He raised a hand and placed it on Yu Manli's arm that was holding the gun, and squeezed it slightly.

"Shao Hong!" "He...he went too far!"

Yu Manli sensed Ye Shaohong's thoughts, but she did not choose to obey. Instead, she gritted her teeth and shouted angrily again.

"obedient!"

“This is a matter between brothers, it has nothing to do with you.”

"Put the gun down, then go outside and stand guard!"

Ye Shaohong squeezed Yu Manli's arm hard again, finally making the reluctant Yu Manli slowly put down the pistol in her hand.

Even so, before turning to leave, Yu Manli still glared fiercely at Xu Baichuan.

It seems that she has already harbored a grudge against Xu Baichuan.

After the hotel room door closed again, Ye Shaohong turned around and looked at Xu Baichuan.

"Fourth Brother." "Has your anger subsided? If not, I'll let you punch me a few more times!"

"To let you vent all the anger in your heart."

"But we agreed, don't hit someone in the face, hitting someone in the face will only make enemies!"

When he said the last sentence, Ye Shaohong laughed first.

It's clear that he wasn't angry at all; or rather, he had already anticipated this situation.

"Humph!"

Xu Baichuan gave a cold groan, but did not continue to attack Ye Shaohong. Instead, he turned around and sat down in a chair at the dining table.

What about Ye Shaohong?

He had no objection to this, nor did he show any dissatisfaction. While rubbing his stomach, he sat down next to Xu Baichuan, picked up the teapot from the table, and personally poured Xu Baichuan a cup.

"Fourth brother!"

"Alright, alright. You hit me, but I haven't fought back at all."

"Are you really going to break off all ties with me?"

Hey! Are you willing to do that?

Ye Shaohong chuckled again, jokingly offering Xu Baichuan another way out.

This is already quite an achievement.

Ye Shaohong revealed his attitude, and Xu Baichuan could no longer maintain his airs.

He first took a deep breath, then picked up the teacup from the table and gulped it down.

"That's no use talking nonsense, give me an explanation first!" Not bad, you can tell from these words that although Xu Baichuan still harbors anger, he has at least calmed down.

"Explain?"

What am I supposed to tell you?

Ye Shaohong shook his head, ignoring the angry glare Xu Baichuan cast at him as he turned around, and poured himself a cup of tea.

After taking a sip and rinsing his mouth, Ye Shaohong spat it out.

Tea mixed with blood spilled onto the ground, catching Xu Baichuan's eye and finally calming him down.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Because of you, I almost died at that street corner today. The Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Japanese devils, and the Gelaohui (a secret society).

"Three forces, more than fifty guns! If I hadn't sensed the danger beforehand, I might be dead there today." In truth, what Xu Baichuan feared wasn't the brutal battle itself.

He joined the army at a young age and later joined the Whampoa Military Academy.

During the Northern Expedition, the first six classes of students from the Whampoa Military Academy were all assigned to front-line troops and participated in the war against warlords such as Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang.

It can be said that Xu Baichuan had already been on the verge of life and death many times.

He was not afraid of life-or-death battles.

What he truly cared about, or rather, what truly angered him, was that Ye Shaohong had set a trap for various forces within Jiangcheng City without informing him of it.

Xu Baichuan felt he had been deceived.

The person who deceived him was none other than his beloved seventh brother.

This huge emotional gap is the real reason why Xu Baichuan erupted in anger today, even going so far as to turn against Ye Shaohong on the spot. Of course, Xu Baichuan still has his pride, so he didn't reveal his true thoughts to Ye Shaohong's face.

But Ye Shaohong already understood.

"Fourth brother!"

"You're wronging me. Let me ask you, did you tell me about the mission you received from the Chief of Staff to come to Jiangcheng?"

"I don't know what mission you're on, so why would I scheme against you?"

To be honest, Ye Shaohong felt guilty when he gave this reason.

In fact, Ye Shaohong had already guessed the real reason why Xu Baichuan came to Jiangcheng, but at this moment, he still had to argue his way out of it.

Only in this way can Xu Baichuan calm down.

Furthermore, Ye Shaohong never intended to scheme to kill Xu Baichuan. He used Special Agent Group No. 5 to set a trap at the Mountain Spring Teahouse.

They included all the forces within Jiangcheng territory in one fell swoop.

But there was nothing he could do.

Previously, when Mayor Wang was attacked, the special agents led by Xu Baichuan had already been deeply involved in the incident.

They have already revealed their whereabouts.

It has also been discovered and detected by the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Japanese spies.

Under these circumstances, could he still tip off Xu Baichuan?

If he really did that, and the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the lurking Japanese spies found out, would his plan still be able to proceed smoothly?

Obviously, that wasn't possible. Therefore, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to continue keeping it from Xu Baichuan.

This was a choice made out of necessity.

To put it another way, even if he had informed Xu Baichuan at the time, would Xu Baichuan have believed him?

Not only will they not believe him, they might even start to doubt him.

Too risky.

If Ye Shaohong really does that, all the things he has done while hiding in the shadows will be completely exposed.

What would have been the outcome for Ye Shaohong at that time?

Will Xu Baichuan report his actions to the Jinling headquarters?

Will it be reported to Dai Yunong?

If it were reported and Dai Yunong found out that Ye Shaohong had been secretly plotting and scheming, trying to stir up trouble using the Great Western King's treasure, Ye Shaohong probably wouldn't even be able to save his own life. In the end, this is the tragedy of those who work in the intelligence industry.

They may seem glamorous on the surface, but how many people know the hardships they endure behind the scenes?

Many people, in order to complete a plan, scheme and plot, and in the end, they may even sacrifice themselves.

Perhaps many innocent people will have to be sacrificed.

Are there few such cases?

The most striking example is Wang Tianfeng in the spy drama "The Disguiser," whose suicide mission cost the lives of many innocent people.

In the end, Wang Tianfeng even managed to outmaneuver himself.

Ye Shaohong was the same way.

This time, however, he also dragged Xu Baichuan into his scheme.

It seems Ye Shaohong spared Xu Baichuan's life. Why was Xu Baichuan able to suddenly realize his mistake at the last moment? Didn't Xu Baichuan himself realize it?

If Ye Shaohong hadn't done it intentionally, Xu Baichuan might not have been able to escape this calamity today.
