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

Chapter 682 The News Has Arrived

After hearing Ye Shaohong's entire plan, Xu Baichuan was stunned.

What a grand plan!

Ye Shaohong has managed to take down all the Japanese spies lurking in Jiangcheng this time.

He did not investigate the Japanese spies one by one.

Instead, they used a unique method to cast a wide net, using the treasure of the Great Western King as bait and the millions of taels of silver as a lure, thoroughly arousing the greed of the Japanese devils and ensnaring them in their scheme.

"We've all been fooled by you!"

"Without realizing it, we've all become pawns on your chessboard!" Xu Baichuan was convinced. He truly hadn't expected that Ye Shaohong, who had only been in office in Jiangcheng for a few days, had already planned and orchestrated such a grand scheme.

It's understandable that he was tricked after barging in so rashly.

"Fourth Brother is right!"

"I only happened to hear about the Great Western King's treasure by chance, and then I realized that the Party Affairs Investigation Department was secretly searching for clues about the Great Western King's treasure. That's when I got the idea to set up a few pieces."

"Unexpectedly, we won in one battle in the end."

Ye Shaohong laughed heartily. Xu Baichuan was mistaken in thinking that he didn't know the secret of the Great Western King's treasure.

Ye Shaohong then went along with what he was thinking and continued speaking.

This also helps him to portray himself as an innocent victim.

"Hey, you kid."

"Alright, considering you wiped out quite a few Japanese devils this time, I'll forgive you for now."

"Tell me, what are you planning to do next?"

Clearly, Xu Baichuan was tempted.

This time, he received a secret order from Dai Yunong to come to Jiangcheng to secretly investigate the matter of the Great Western King's treasure. Now it seems that it was a false lie.

It was a scheme orchestrated by Ye Shaohong.

Under these circumstances, he was unable to complete the task he had been given. Even if he went back and explained things to Dai Yunong, Xu Baichuan would not gain anything from all the trouble he had caused by traveling thousands of miles.

On the other hand, Ye Shaohong was about to receive a tremendous credit, and since he happened to be there, he figured he should take advantage of it.

Even if he has reached the top of his military rank and position and there is no room for advancement, there is still room for advancement for his subordinates.

Securing a future for his subordinates is also a way to consolidate his position within the group.

"What, Fourth Brother, are you interested?"

Ye Shaohong smiled, but then raised his hand to rub his injured chin.

Xu Baichuan was quite sensible.

Realizing Ye Shaohong's intention, he immediately stood up and personally poured Ye Shaohong a cup of tea.

He carried it and presented it to Ye Shaohong.

"Little Seven."

"Just now, I was wrong, I was reckless."

Don't take it to heart.

"Brother, I apologize to you here."

Given the relationship between Ye Shaohong and Xu Baichuan, there was really no need to go to such lengths.

But Xu Baichuan still did it. No wonder, in the spy drama Kite, Zheng Yaoxian once said that Xu Baichuan was extremely smart, worldly-wise, and a rare good guy in the Kuomintang.

See, this is Xu Baichuan's cleverness; his principle of dealing with things is to take sincerity to the extreme.

It's hard for anyone to feel any ill will towards him.

"Hi!"

"Fourth Brother, what are you saying? We're brothers, how could I possibly be angry with you?"

Ye Shaohong first waved his hand, indicating to Xu Baichuan that what had just happened was over.

He then changed the subject and went straight to his follow-up plans.

"Fourth Brother, this is what I think."

"Now that Yunlong is injured and hospitalized, the intelligence section of the Special Service's Jiangcheng station is without a leader." "If you don't mind, how about staying in Jiangcheng for now and helping out your underling?"

Xu Baichuan adopted a very humble posture, and Ye Shaohong did not become arrogant either. He also lowered his posture and adopted a pleading attitude.

"Ha ha!"

"No problem, Xiao Qi, this time it's my fault for owing you."

"So when do you plan to take action?"

After much discussion, the crucial point was finally reached. Xu Baichuan's smile vanished, replaced by an indescribable coldness.

"Hold on."

"I'm still waiting for the final news. Once we get the news, we'll act immediately."

After finishing their business, the two stopped arguing, opened the door, called Yu Manli inside, and then asked the waiter to inform the kitchen to serve the dishes. The lunch, without any drinks, was enjoyed by both host and guest.

Only Yu Manli didn't enjoy the meal very much. She clearly hadn't forgotten what had just happened, and she would occasionally glance at Xu Baichuan while eating.

He seemed to be annoyed.

Xu Baichuan was truly humble; as the head of the Second Division of the Special Service Department and a lieutenant colonel, he actually apologized to Yu Manli.

His attitude was very sincere, and since Ye Shaohong and Xu Baichuan clearly hadn't fallen out and were still sworn brothers, Yu Manli could only put aside her displeasure and resolve the misunderstanding with Xu Baichuan.

During this time, Ye Shaohong didn't say a word.

Because he knew that Yu Manli was speaking up for him, and that it showed she truly cared about him.

Given Xu Baichuan's magnanimity, he wouldn't really take this to heart.

After having lunch together, the three of them went back to Jiangcheng City Hospital for a final check-up.

Li Yunlong had already completed his surgery and was wheeled into the ward.

Ye Shaohong asked Chi Tiecheng and learned that although Li Yunlong was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood, which could be said to have damaged his core, he had been out of danger after emergency treatment.

For now, it seems everything is fine.

However, Li Yunlong will definitely suffer some hidden injuries in the future, which will also affect his lightness skill and movement techniques.

Upon learning this news, Ye Shaohong was filled with emotion.

As expected of the protagonist of a TV series, Li Yunlong may not be a very good person, but he still has a bit of luck about him.

If Ye Shaohong had suffered injuries like today, given the medical conditions of the Republic of China era, it's uncertain whether he would have survived.

Also, you can't be greedy.

Once greed cloudes one's judgment and leads to wrong choices, the consequences are rarely good.

History and reality have provided them with clear evidence.

Just as Ye Shaohong was feeling sentimental about this, a junior agent from Jiangcheng Station knocked on the door and ran in. He told Ye Shaohong that someone had made a phone call into the hospital director's office.

He said he had something urgent to discuss with him.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Baichuan, who was already prepared, immediately brightened up.

He stared straight at Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong smiled and nodded slightly. After greeting Xu Baichuan, the two went together to the office of the director of Jiangcheng City Hospital. Sure enough.

The caller was He Jian, the adjutant from Special Agent Group No. 5.

He told Ye Shaohong about several addresses and briefed him on the findings of their investigation over the past few days.

After recounting everything, He Jian originally intended to hang up the phone, but Ye Shaohong stopped him at the last moment.

Ye Shaohong only asked one question.

"Lieutenant He, would you like to personally lead a team to arrest a few Japanese spies?"
