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

Chapter 727 Taking Office (Part 1)

Tsudajima Ishi entered the Special Service Headquarters at nine o'clock in the morning.

Before 10 o'clock, Dai Yunong personally went to see Tsudajima Ishi. They closed the door and talked for about ten minutes.

However, Ye Shaohong received orders from the secretary's office to return to his post at 3 PM.

This shows how conflicted Dai Yunong was.

He didn't have any ill feelings towards Ye Shaohong, nor did he have any intention of suppressing Ye Shaohong for the time being.

After all, in just two years after joining the Special Service Department, Ye Shaohong solved many major cases involving Japanese spies.

This also made Dai Yunong quite proud in front of the bald-headed chairman. Even though Ye Shaohong was audacious and often disobeyed his orders, and occasionally made decisions on his own without asking for permission, it was not enough for Dai Yunong to hold a grudge against Ye Shaohong.

Don't forget, Ye Shaohong is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Ye Shaohong's mother was from Jiangshan County, and her family were large landowners in Jiangshan County.

If you look closely, Ye Shaohong's maternal clan is also somewhat connected with Dai Yunong.

He can be considered one of Dai Yunong's closest confidants.

Why would Dai Yunong continue to delay?

Because he was unwilling to accept it.

As the head of the Special Service, he commanded over three thousand spies, with influence spreading throughout the country and even extending overseas.

Within the Nationalist government, he currently holds only the rank of colonel, which is insufficient to compare him with those bigwigs.

But Dai Yunong's military rank was indeed that of a high-ranking officer. That was the real deal.

In this respect, Dai Yunong is not much different from those military bigwigs.

He was, in a sense, a core high-ranking official in the Nationalist government.

Even so, Tsudajima Ishi still refused to believe him. Even though Dai Yunong had personally stepped forward and promised generous terms, Tsudajima Ishi still refused to budge.

what is this?

This is a disrespect to Dai Yunong.

It was an insult to his many capable and competent officials in the secret service.

That's why Dai Yunong was delaying; he wanted to find another way to change Tsudajima Ishi's mind.

He also assigned other people to meet with Tsuda Shimaishi for a detailed discussion.

The result remained unchanged.

Tsudajima Ishi, the defector Japanese spy, was determined not to budge until he saw Ye Shaohong and the infamous Yama Laoqi of the Special Service.

And this whole ordeal dragged on until the afternoon.

It was past three o'clock when we finally got to it.

That's why Ye Shaohong just received a call from the Special Service Department's secretariat.

When Ye Shaohong received the call from the secretary's office, he was still a little confused. He couldn't understand why Dai Yunong had given him a long vacation.

Wasn't it said that he could only return to his post after the Military Intelligence Bureau was officially established?

Why did it suddenly change?

Did Dai Yunong change his mind, or did something happen that he was unaware of?

Ye Shaohong was unaware.

But one thing he was very clear about was that he had to obey orders from his superiors, and as a soldier, he had to carry them out. After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong went to the Ye family's back garden to see the old man.

He recounted what had just happened truthfully.

After pondering for a moment, the old man only said one sentence to Ye Shaohong.

Be careful.

After saying that, the old man turned around, picked up the kettle again, and went to tend to his flowers and plants.

Ye Shaohong also laughed.

He already knew the old man's intentions.

Afterwards, Ye Shaohong went to his and Yu Manli's bedroom and talked with Yu Manli for a while before putting on his military uniform again with Yu Manli's personal help.

Believe it or not, Ye Shaohong has gained weight during these months of rest.

The military uniform that had once fit her perfectly now felt rather tight on her. Upon seeing this, Yu Manli's face immediately showed a look of disgust.

"Look at you!"

"At this rate, she'll be showing her big belly soon."

Ye Shaohong was also helpless.

Can we blame him for this?

If Yu Manli hadn't been pregnant and needed to supplement her nutrition, and if all sorts of supplements hadn't been delivered to her in a constant stream, she wouldn't have liked them so much.

Could Ye Shaohong possibly consume all those supplements to avoid waste?

Now that things have turned out this way, Yu Manli is blaming him instead.

But Ye Shaohong really didn't dare to say these words out loud.

It was all because Yu Manli's temper had grown since she became pregnant; she would often nag and complain about Ye Shaohong for no reason.

Out of consideration for Yu Manli's pregnancy, Ye Shaohong could only tolerate her sometimes when he was wronged.

That's it now.

"Good good!"

"Fine, I'll work out! I just hope you won't complain about how tough it is after I've worked out!"

As he spoke, Ye Shaohong casually slapped Yu Manli's shapely buttocks.

This immediately caused Yu Manli to roll her eyes again.

Then, amidst hearty laughter, Ye Shaohong strode out of his and Yu Manli's bedroom and walked directly out of the Ye family mansion.

As soon as Ye Shaohong stepped out of the mansion gate, he saw Chi Tiecheng and Li Yunlong.

Two months ago, Li Yunlong had recovered from his injuries and came from Jiangcheng. He has now settled down in Shancheng.

Ye Shaohong was delighted to see his two henchmen.

"You received the news too?"

"Got it."

"Someone just called me and asked me to return to my department!"

Chi Tiecheng and Li Yunlong responded one after another.

"Okay!"

"It's good that you're both going back. With the two of you helping me, I can handle things much more at ease!"

"Let's go back to the office!"

Ye Shaohong opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

As the car started, more than half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the new headquarters of the Luojiawan Special Service Department.

This is Ye Shaohong's first time here.

Actually, he could have come during his break. But given Ye Shaohong's temperament, he really didn't want to waste his time trying to get a warm welcome, so he never went.

On the contrary, Chi Tiecheng and Li Yunlong came a few times in the past few months.

With their guidance, Ye Shaohong quickly arrived at the secretary's office at the new headquarters.

I met Mao Renfeng.

Compared to a few months ago, Mao Renfeng has gained weight again.

Mao Renfeng used to be short, chubby, and ugly; now he's almost a ball.

Despite his weight, Mao Renfeng's quick wit and skill in dealing with people remained unchanged.

On the contrary, she became even more skilled.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong approach, before Ye Shaohong could even speak, Mao Renfeng had already gotten up from behind his desk and walked over to greet him. "Hey, Brother Ye."

"Long time no see! I've missed you so much!"

It's been a long time! When Ye Shaohong got married, this fat guy accompanied Dai Yunong to visit in person.

The two even had a few drinks at the table.

If you think about it, it's only been a little over two months since we last met.

But Mao Renfeng knows how to handle people.

Since he was willing to show his attitude and express his closeness to Ye Shaohong, Ye Shaohong was happy to exchange a few pleasantries with him.

"Brother Mao!"

"It has indeed been a long time, and your younger brother has missed you very much. How about this: after I finish seeing the director, I'll set up a table tonight, and we'll drink and have a good time!"

"You can't not come! Not coming would be disrespecting me, Ye Shaohong!"

As soon as Ye Shaohong spoke, Mao Renfeng immediately laughed.

He patted his bulging belly, his long, narrow, triangular eyes almost squinting into slits.

"Of course, of course!"

"Brother Ye has hosted a banquet, how could I, your elder brother, dare not attend!"

"It's settled then."

"However, your most urgent task is to go and see the Chief of Staff first. Perhaps he has a task for you!"
