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

Chapter 689 New Mission

Time flew by, and three more days passed quickly.

Ye Family Villa.

As the wall clock chimed, Ye Shaohong, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

He turned slightly and stretched out his arm.

The moment his arm fell, a soft and delicate body fell into Ye Shaohong's arms.

"Don't make trouble!"

"Let me sleep a little longer."

Inside his arms, Yu Manli hadn't opened her eyes yet. She wriggled and pressed herself against Ye Shaohong's chest, then let out a series of tired and languid moans. "Still sleeping?"

"The sun is already high in the sky."

"Get up quickly, I asked Aunt Wu to prepare breakfast for you. Aren't you going out shopping with Xiao Wan later?"

Ye Shaohong tilted his head back and yawned. The arm that had been resting on Yu Manli's slender waist slowly slid down, and he gently slapped it down.

This finally brought Yu Manli back to her senses.

"You bastard!"

"You kept me up for hours last night, can't you let me get some more sleep?"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you go home to rest. Look at what you've been doing these past few days. You've worn me out."

Yu Manli let out a soft snort, opened her eyes, and raised her hand, waving her small fist and punching Ye Shaohong several times. The force of the punches wasn't very strong.

But it still stirred Ye Shaohong's heart and made him burst into laughter.

As laughter erupted, he had another idea and made a move to draw his bow and arrow again.

This terrified Yu Manli.

Yu Manli quickly broke free from Ye Shaohong's embrace, then hurriedly jumped off the bed, turning around to give Ye Shaohong a big eye roll.

"If you keep acting like this, starting today, we'll be sleeping in separate beds!"

"I can't stand you anymore!"

After her soft moan subsided, Yu Manli bent down to pick up her scattered clothes from the ground, draped them over herself, and then fled towards the bedroom door as if her life depended on it.

"Why run!"

"I'm not going to eat you." "You're going out today, remember to come back tonight. Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother said last night they'd be coming over for dinner tonight!"

"I'll also ask you to cook for me."

Ye Shaohong picked up a cigarette from the coffee table beside the bed, lit it, and called out.

"Still drinking?"

"Have you been drinking quite a bit these past few days?"

"Okay, okay, I'll cook for you when I get back tonight."

"Oh, right, I'll bring Xiao Wan along too."

"Tonight, my sisters and I will sleep together!"

Yu Manli pouted, seemingly dissatisfied, but despite her stubbornness, she eventually agreed to Ye Shaohong's request.

But at the very end, she added another sentence to herself.

Ye Shaohong smiled too.

He certainly understood what Yu Manli was thinking, and the unrestrained indulgence of the past three days had greatly relieved Ye Shaohong's suppressed emotions.

He didn't intend to continue indulging himself any longer, so he didn't say anything more.

Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

As Ye Shaohong was enjoying tea and reading on the balcony of the second floor of the villa, the roar of a car engine came from the direction of the villa's main entrance.

Shortly afterward, Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian walked in.

"Little Seven!"

"Shao Hong!"

Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian entered the Ye family villa and saw Ye Shaohong on the second-floor balcony. Both of them smiled at the same time.

"Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother!"

"Come on up, I just made some tea!"

Ye Shaohong also stood up and greeted them. A few minutes later.

Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian had already gone up to the second-floor balcony and sat down next to Ye Shaohong in a very familiar and natural manner.

"You little rascal, you know how to enjoy yourself."

“These past few days, we’ve been busy at headquarters during the day, handling various matters related to the relocation of the capital, and we’ll come over to keep you company in the evenings.”

"But you're doing well, living the life of a communal dweller ahead of time."

After Xu Baichuan sat down, he first picked up the tea from the tea table, tilted his head back and gulped it down, and then started laughing and scolding Ye Shaohong.

"Hey, I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule!"

"how?"

"Look at how happy my two older brothers were when they came in just now."

"Is the result of my case pending?"

To be honest, Ye Shaohong was very grateful to Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian. He knew very well that during the time he was dismissed and investigated, neither Xu Baichuan nor Zheng Yaoxian had been idle.

He has been busy running around, trying to find people to plead for him and help him.

Inside the headquarters, Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian also privately contacted many people, trying to speak well of Dai Yunong in front of him.

It was precisely because of the hard work of Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian that Ye Shaohong was able to stay at home comfortably.

No one from the headquarters' audit department came to inquire about the mistake.

"Fourth Brother, see? I wasn't wrong."

"Shao Hong knows what he's doing."

Zheng Yaoxian shook his head, reaching for a cigarette while glancing at Xu Baichuan.

As Xu Baichuan gave a helpless, bitter smile, Zheng Yaoxian had already lit the fireworks.

Smoke billowed and shrouded his face before Zheng Yaoxian's voice rang out again. "Shaohong, guess what your final decision will be?"

"Let me guess?"

Ye Shaohong leaned back and slumped onto the rattan rocking chair, a bitter look appearing on his face.

"Let them be downgraded."

"I think my time as the newly appointed stationmaster of Jiangcheng Station is coming to an end."

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be some trouble at headquarters. What went wrong somewhere that the section chief wants me to be the firefighter?"

Ye Shaohong is absolutely right.

In his mind, because he was from the same hometown as the bald-headed chairman and was also his junior from elementary school, he was sure he wouldn't be punished too severely.

Who could blame them when the bald-headed Chairman was so fond of his own people? His temperament had long been known throughout the Nationalist government. Take, for example, that running-around commander.

If he weren't from the same hometown as the bald-headed chairman, if he weren't one of the bald-headed chairman's confidants, given that man's record, he would have been removed from office long ago.

However, the bond between him and his fellow townsman, a junior from Jianxiao Primary School, could only save Ye Shaohong's life and his military rank.

It's definitely not possible to completely escape responsibility.

According to Ye Shaohong's estimation, he would inevitably be sidelined for a while after this incident.

This timeframe should be estimated in months.

But only a few days have passed, and Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian have already arrived, bringing with them good news.

No doubt, something must have happened again.

"You guessed it right."

"Just now, the comrade-in-chief issued an order demoting you from lieutenant colonel station chief to major inspector." "He told you to hurry up and take care of your family affairs, and then set off for the mountain city immediately."

"Investigate the military intelligence leak!"
