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

Chapter 695 Disgusting People and Disgusting Things

Pimp.

This profession was quite rare during the Republic of China era.

The reason is quite simple.

During the Republic of China era, prostitution was legal. As long as they paid the government on time and in the required amount, no one cared about them.

Isn't it strange that someone would act as a pimp when there are legitimate and legal businesses available, and that this person would even move between the residences of various powerful and high-ranking officials?

It's so eye-catching!

So, when this pimp's name appeared a second time on the suspect's contact list, Ye Shaohong took notice of him. "Ouyang Hui?"

"Is that a woman's name?"

"interesting!"

As he muttered to himself, Ye Shaohong raised his hand and beckoned, and Chi Tiecheng stepped over.

"Investigate her!"

"I need the most detailed information in the shortest amount of time."

After taking the list, which had been specially circled in pen, from Ye Shaohong's hand, Chi Tiecheng glanced at it briefly before turning and leaving.

It's a small thing.

After having Chi Tiecheng investigate personally, Ye Shaohong stopped paying attention to it.

He has more information to look at.

After another busy half-day, around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Tiecheng finally returned. He was carrying several documents and files in his hands.

After finding Ye Shaohong, Chi Tiecheng first placed the files he was holding on the table before giving his report.

"Seventh Brother, we've found out everything."

“This Ouyang Hui is a teacher at Shancheng Girls’ High School. She’s from Bingcheng, Heilongjiang Province, and fled here from outside the Great Wall after the July 7 Incident.”

"After arriving in the mountain city, she first worked as a private tutor for a period of time. Later, through an introduction, she entered the girls' high school and is now the dean of studies at the girls' high school!"

Ye Shaohong didn't seem to mind these superficial pieces of information.

What he was really interested in was Ouyang Hui's pimp business.

"The dean of students at a girls' high school?"

"Then how did she end up working as a pimp?"

"Is there some secret hidden here?" Ye Shaohong stopped flipping through the documents he was reading, frowned, and asked.

"I've also investigated this matter."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can't really blame Ouyang Hui."

"While she was working at Shancheng Girls' High School, she was also secretly working as a pimp, and the girls she introduced were all students at Shancheng High School."

"To be precise, they are all poor people whose families are struggling financially and unable to support their continued education."

"In order to enable these poor children to continue their studies, Ouyang Hui secretly started this sex trade, relying on the connections she had built up in the past!"

It's clear that Chi Tiecheng has some affection for Ouyang Hui.

Although what she did was somewhat unethical, it was a choice made out of desperation, given that China was currently impoverished and weak.

The people are too poor. Most families simply cannot afford to send their children to school, let alone in a society that favors sons over daughters.

Girls who want to complete their studies and change their destiny must make certain sacrifices.

In this day and age, even the body is a commodity.

This led to Ouyang Hui's experience as a pimp, and also to Chi Tiecheng's words of tacit favoritism.

"Nonsense!"

"Even if she had her reasons, she shouldn't have done something like this."

"Moreover, even if her guidance method produces many outstanding students, how much value can they create for the country and the nation after they enter society?"

"I'm afraid that once they graduate, their past experiences will lead them astray!"

Ye Shaohong was both annoyed and heartbroken. But what could he do?

Should we forcibly stop it?

He could, but what would happen if he stopped him?

Without Ouyang Hui's matchmaking, the female students who lost the extra financial gain would have their path to education completely cut off.

He imposes his own desires on others, believing he has done the right thing. But will those he obstructs truly thank him?

They might even curse him behind his back for being nosy.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong shook his head silently again, feeling somewhat disheartened.

He waved his hand, dismissing Chi Tiecheng.

He also took the opportunity to temporarily remove Ouyang Hui from his initial list of suspects.

Let's just consider it a helpless situation for ordinary people at the bottom of society in this era.

With his mind free of distractions, Ye Shaohong buried himself in his work again, reviewing the personnel information for the final six names on the list.

As he looked at it, Ye Shaohong frowned again.

Among these six people, besides the staff officer who returned from studying in the United States, who was bisexual and liked to hold uninhibited parties, Ye Shaohong discovered something else.

Those are the other five suspects, four of whom have several concubines in their families.

This is not surprising.

Because polygamy was not prohibited during the Republic of China era.

Even though the Nationalist government issued numerous documents strictly prohibiting government and military personnel from taking concubines without permission, who cared about such matters?

It's a tacit understanding that everyone shares, and no one would make things difficult for someone over such a small issue.

Ye Shaohong certainly knew about these things.

He didn't pay attention to this matter when he first looked through the list of the last six suspects and their family information.

They let it go very easily.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Shaohong was surprised to discover that among the four high-ranking officials who had taken concubines, all of them were students from Shancheng Girls' High School.

This discovery is quite different.

Then he rummaged through his desk again and found the information that Chi Tiecheng had just investigated. He took it in his hand and examined it carefully.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shaohong's furrowed brows deepened even further.

What did he see?

He discovered that as early as three or four years ago, Ouyang Hui had already been secretly acting as a go-between for government and military officials, facilitating prostitution.

According to the information Chi Tiecheng investigated, over the past three or four years, Ouyang Hui had secretly cultivated and managed a service group that had grown to forty or fifty people. That's a huge number.

While the general population of the Republic of China era was impoverished, there shouldn't have been so many poor female students.

Even if such cases existed, we must not forget that during the Republic of China era, women still valued the concept of chastity. Would so many impoverished female students really be willing to engage in prostitution in order to complete their studies?

Ye Shaohong didn't believe it.

This is too bizarre; it looks like it was orchestrated by someone.

Could it be that……?

A strange thought popped into his mind, and Ye Shaohong's face grew even uglier. Then, he slammed his hand hard on the table.

"Oh shit."

"That Ouyang Hui, she deserves to die! As a teacher, she uses the excuse of caring for others to secretly force women into prostitution. I think she's had enough of living!"

"Chi Tiecheng, get your ass over here!"
