Chapter 714 Small People Doing Big Things

So what was this unexpected surprise?

Very simple.

Li Wei actually knew the location of the Japanese soldiers' hiding place.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Shaohong was also very surprised. He really didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary, even somewhat cunning and treacherous, gambler would know such important information.

Is it real or fake?

With doubts in his mind, Ye Shaohong asked a question, and Li Wei recounted the whole story to him in detail.

This whole affair started when the Japanese soldier Yamamoto Junichiro tried to investigate Ye Shaohong's family background. That Yamamoto Junichiro was indeed quite capable.

No one knows where he got the information, but he somehow found out that the Ye family was also in the mountain city.

In order to complete the task assigned to him by Ouyang Hui in the shortest possible time, the Japanese soldier Yamamoto Junichiro set his sights on the servants of the Ye family.

He quickly identified Li Wei, who had a gambling addiction.

Then, through a clever scheme, Junichiro Yamamoto and Li Wei got together in the casino.

They used monetary incentives as bait to persuade Li Wei.

To gain Li Wei's trust, Yamamoto Junichiro was indeed quite generous. He directly took out five small yellow croakers and first tried to find out about the Ye family's situation from Li Wei.

Ye Shaohong's experiences and stories of growing up in the Ye family.

After finding out the details, Yamamoto Junichiro asked Li Wei to help him find out Ye Shaohong's whereabouts. Yamamoto Junichiro also promised Li Wei a large yellow croaker as a reward if he succeeded in doing so.

That's equivalent to more than six hundred silver dollars.

Li Wei was tempted and agreed.

After finishing his business, Junichiro Yamamoto abandoned Li Wei and left, clearly not taking Li Wei, an ordinary commoner, seriously.

But Junichiro Yamamoto was still wrong.

Junichiro Yamamoto never imagined that the Ye family patriarch was once a famous general in the Northern Expedition and a veteran of the National Government.

In recent years, the old man has lived a secluded life, not concerning himself with anything. When he had nothing to do, he would personally train and instruct the servants and guards of the Ye family.

Li Wei happened to be among them.

Junichiro Yamamoto's generosity and wealth also attracted Li Wei's attention and curiosity. So, after Junichiro Yamamoto left, Li Wei secretly followed him.

He followed Yamamoto Junichiro all the way to the trading company where the Japanese soldiers were hiding. After finding Yamamoto Junichiro's whereabouts, Li Wei originally intended to leave.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to leave, Yamamoto Junichiro and Ouyang Hui walked out of the trading company together.

Because Ouyang Hui was the leader of Yamamoto Junichiro's undercover team, Yamamoto Junichiro treated Ouyang Hui with great respect. Li Wei happened to see Yamamoto Junichiro escorting Ouyang Hui out of the trading company.

Li Wei is quite a remarkable person.

Seeing that Ouyang Hui was young and beautiful, yet was treated with such respect by Yamamoto Junichiro, he became curious.

He followed Ouyang Hui closely, secretly investigating her identity and whereabouts. His plan was simple.

He was simply worried that after the deal was completed and he revealed Ye Shaohong's situation, he would be killed to silence him or simply abandoned.

He wanted to prepare several trump cards for himself.

It can also be said to be the wisdom of ordinary people.

And so, Li Wei followed Ouyang Hui all the way, watching her go to several places before finally returning to her temporary hiding place.

Even more remarkably, neither Junichiro Yamamoto nor Ouyang Hui noticed the person following them from beginning to end.

Ultimately, this gambler, Li Wei, figured out their true situation.

They accomplished a task that even the most well-trained agents in the Special Service could not complete.

After listening to Li Wei's story, Ye Shaohong was also deeply moved.

At this moment, when he looked at Li Wei again, his expression had changed slightly.

"Talent!"

"This talent for surveillance and investigation far surpasses that of those at the Special Operations Department's Mountain City Station."

'It's just a pity...'

With a sigh, Ye Shaohong immediately cut off his further thoughts.

What he didn't know was that Yamamoto Junichiro had already been captured by Chi Tiecheng and his men, but because of the time constraints, Yamamoto Junichiro hadn't been made to speak yet.

"hehe!"

"Alright, you do have some skill."

"Tell me everything you've found out. If you're willing to tell me, I can spare your life!" Hmm...

Ye Shaohong did indeed promise Li Wei that he would spare his life. He couldn't go back on his promise made in front of the old man and his parents.

He promised to spare Li Wei's life, but he never said he would grant Li Wei his freedom.

Once Li Wei has told his story, his fate will be sealed; Ye Shaohong will throw him directly into the Zhazidong Prison.

Let him rot there and die of a stench.

"Really?"

"Alright, I believe you, young master!"

"In order to protect myself, I have written down and drawn all their whereabouts."

“I was also worried that they would kill me to silence me after the deal was done, so I sealed those things in an envelope beforehand and gave it to my mistress.” “If anything happens to me, she will take that letter and give it to the old man!”

Good guy.

Ye Shaohong really hadn't realized that this gambler named Li Wei was not only good at tracking and investigating, but also a meticulous person.

Such a person is indeed a rare genius in espionage.

It's a pity he went down the wrong path.

"very good!"

"I'll arrange for someone to go with you and retrieve the items."

"As long as you haven't lied to me, I will have my mother produce your indenture so you can leave the Ye family safely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong glanced at his mother again.

Mother Ye was a decisive person. She raised her hand and waved, and a personal maid turned around and walked out of the hall. A few minutes later, when the maid returned, she had a piece of paper in her hand.

The maid threw the paper in front of Li Wei, who grabbed it and believed Ye Shaohong's promise.

"I said!"

"My lover is Widow Chen from the tofu shop on the next street!"

"I'll take you there now."

Li Weiqiang, supporting his aching body, slowly stood up. His face no longer showed panic; instead, there was a hint of anticipation.

At the same time, Ma Yunfei also stepped in to help Ye Shaohong.

He reached into his pocket and took out two small yellow croakers that he had found in Li Wei's room, then threw them directly on the ground.

This reassured Li Wei even more. Afterwards, Ye Shaohong had Chi Tiecheng take two Ye family guards and accompany Li Wei to the tofu shop in the next alley.

They obtained the diagrams showing the situation that Li Wei had investigated from the widow Chen.

After receiving the blueprints, Ye Shaohong thought for a moment and decided not to mobilize any more personnel from the Special Service Department's Shancheng Station this time.

He was also afraid that the news would leak again, and that Japanese woman, Ouyang Hui, would escape again.

So with one phone call, he got into the mountain city defense command headquarters.

In his capacity as a special agent inspector, he mobilized a company of soldiers from the mountain city defense command, and had Chi Tiecheng personally lead two platoons of soldiers to the place where Ouyang Hui had been.

The goal is to apprehend any potential Japanese spies or traitors recruited by Ouyang Hui through money and sex.

And what about Ye Shaohong?

He, along with Ma Yunfei and Gao Han, led the remaining platoon of soldiers directly to the location where Ouyang Hui might be hiding.

This time, he was determined to take matters into his own hands; he couldn't let Ouyang Hui get away no matter what!
