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

Chapter 729 An Increasingly Difficult Situation

As Ye Shaohong left Dai Yunong's office, he met Xu Baichuan.

Clearly, he already knew the news.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong emerge, Xu Baichuan's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and he strode towards Ye Shaohong.

"Little Seven!"

"Your pregnancy is going to be quite long this time!"

"I thought I would have to wait until the baby was born after ten months of pregnancy before I could see you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shaohong immediately rolled his eyes.

You, Xu Baichuan, who are you trying to shift the blame for? Do you think I don't want to go to work?

It's that old fox Dai Yunong who's worried about me. He's deliberately dragging his feet and not letting me come to work. How did it come to you that I'm the one who's lazy and slacking off?

Although that's what she thought in her heart, she wasn't actually angry with Ye Shaohong.

By the time the War of Resistance against Japan broke out, only four of the eight who had sworn brotherhood together remained.

That's right.

During the time Ye Shaohong was resting at home, his sworn brother also sacrificed his life.

He sacrificed his life on the front lines.

Of the original eight great warriors, only the fourth brother Xu Baichuan, the fifth brother Wang Tianfeng, the sixth brother Zheng Yaoxian, and his little brother remain.

The world changes so unpredictably. And it is precisely because of this that the relationship between the four survivors has deepened without them even realizing it.

Because no one can guarantee that one of them will be sacrificed and killed in the next moment.

Of course, we should cherish it even more.

"Fourth brother!"

"Little brother, from today onwards, I will be your soldier."

"I'll need your continued care in the future."

As they were talking, Ye Shaohong handed the appointment order he had just received from Dai Yunong to Xu Baichuan.

Xu Baichuan was decisive; he didn't even look at it before casually stuffing it into his pocket.

Then, she put her arm around Ye Shaohong's shoulder again.

"Hey!" "We're brothers, why make such a big deal out of it?"

“From today onwards, this second place will be your home. Whether I am here or not, whatever you say, Xiao Qi, counts.”

After saying this, Xu Baichuan burst into laughter again.

It was clear that he was genuinely happy. Zheng Yaoxian was originally his deputy, and now Ye Shaohong had also been assigned here. From now on, this second location would completely become their territory.

It's not quite impenetrable, but it's pretty much the same.

In the future, he will find it much easier and more flexible to handle matters than he does now, and it will also be easier for him to earn merit and receive awards.

"I love listening to you talk, Fourth Brother."

"Sounds good!"

"It's also comforting!"

Ye Shaohong chuckled as the two walked downstairs, discussing their meeting with Dai Yunong.

Upon hearing that Ye Shaohong was going to personally take charge of interrogating Tsudajima Ishi, Xu Baichuan's expression turned slightly strange.

"That guy... is not someone to be trifled with."

"Be extra careful when you interact with him."

"By the way, this was Lao Liu's judgment. He said that this person came to surrender on his own initiative, perhaps he has other purposes."

"It's very likely that it's a spy for the Japanese!"

The concept of "dead spies" originates from Sun Tzu's Art of War. In the final chapter of the Art of War, "Using Spies," the sage Sun Tzu divided spies into five categories.

These are, respectively, the spy who caused the incident, the spy who became the insider, the spy who turned the tables, the spy who died, and the spy who lived.

So-called "suicide spies" are spies who are prepared to die to carry out important missions.

Such spies have existed since ancient times.

It wouldn't be surprising then. But this was the first one Ye Shaohong had encountered since joining the Special Service Department.

The spies he had previously captured could be roughly categorized into undercover agents and internal agents.

It is extremely difficult for these three types of spies—double agents, suicide agents, and living agents—to be effective, and the conditions required are exceptionally complex, which is why they are relatively rare.

"Oh?"

"Sixth Brother's judgment?"

"Given his keen insight, the fact that he could make this guess suggests that I should be more careful when dealing with this Tsudajima stone."

When Zheng Yaoxian was mentioned, Ye Shaohong suddenly remembered that he had come to take up his new post today, but he hadn't seen him.

Did he go out for something?

Ye Shaohong voiced his questions, and Xu Baichuan's face immediately turned serious. "Speaking of this, it makes me feel terrible!"

"You have no idea, right before you came to the Special Service Department, something happened in the Beiping battle in the North China region."

"Our undercover team was betrayed by an insider and wiped out by the Japanese Special Higher Police. Seven people were arrested, including the station chief in Beiping, and more than ten were killed!"

"Only two infiltrative teams from the Sporadic Intelligence Department managed to escape unscathed. The boss suspected that the traitor was hiding among these people. In order to rebuild the Beiping battlefield as soon as possible, the boss assigned Lao Liu to him."

"After this round trip, it will probably be a month or two before we see Lao Liu again."

Xu Baichuan was also extremely angry when the matter was brought up.

But what could he do?

With successive defeats on the front lines, a sense of cowardice is spreading rapidly across the country, and many people have lost hope in Chongqing.

They began to plan their escape route. The situation is somewhat better now, except that there are a few traitors who have defected to the enemy and betrayed their country in the Japanese-occupied areas.

They acted as lackeys for the Japanese devils.

When Wang Jingwei, the second-in-command of the Nationalist government, also defectes to the enemy and betrays the country, and then establishes a new government in Nanjing, such traitors will be as numerous as hairs on a cow.

Once the Shanghai No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters is established, and the Japanese use the tactic of using Chinese against Chinese, many people within the Special Agent Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department will betray their motherland.

At that time, the work of the Secret Service will be even more difficult.

Ye Shaohong even suspected that a few years later, the main objectives of their intelligence work would change.

It was no longer the Special Higher Police or the intelligence department of the Expeditionary Army that were targeting the Japanese.

Instead, they were countless traitors and sellouts.

Indeed, this was the case. In 1938, under the auspices of the Mei Agency, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun established the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters. By 1941, the forces that truly opposed the Special Service Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department had changed.

It was no longer the Special Higher Police and military police in the various occupied areas by the Japanese.

It was the headquarters of the secret service.

These "our own people" who betrayed the country and the nation knew us better than the Japanese devils, and when they took action, they were even more brutal and ruthless.

That was the most difficult time for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Traitors, double agents, living agents, and dead agents...

They will be performed one after another at that time.

Now…….

But that's just an appetizer...

Thinking this, Ye Shaohong and Xu Baichuan unknowingly arrived at the door of the interrogation room.

When they reached the door, Xu Baichuan stopped in his tracks.

"All right."

"I'll leave you here. You'll have to finish the rest of the work yourself."

"Hey bro, watch out!"
