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

Chapter 743 Full of Doubts

After leaving Dai Yunong's office, Ye Shaohong originally intended to go directly to Tsudajima Ishi.

He stopped halfway through the journey.

Ye Shaohong suddenly remembered something: yesterday afternoon, Dai Yunong had personally promised him that he could go to the finance department today to collect the reward for Tsudajima Ishi.

That's a full three thousand dollars.

This is no small sum; it can be used as leverage and a token of his sincerity to persuade Tsudajima Ishi to cooperate wholeheartedly.

what?

You're saying that all this money is rightfully Tsudajima Ishi's?

What are you saying! The wealth that we Chinese people have worked so hard to create, even if we are forced to temporarily give it to others, should still be used to its fullest potential.

Ye Shaohong felt he had lost out by using the money twice.

If possible, he wants to get that money back after this is over.

Um…….

Only by using it three times can it be considered properly and thoroughly handled.

Having made up his mind, Ye Shaohong became much more relaxed and cheerful when carrying out his tasks.

He first went to the finance department and, following Dai Yunong's orders, personally signed to withdraw three thousand US dollars, carefully putting the thick stack of banknotes into an envelope.

Afterwards, Ye Shaohong went to the small kitchen in the backyard and had someone work overtime to prepare several local dishes for him.

Once everything was ready, Ye Shaohong, carrying a bamboo basket, knocked on the door of Tsudajima Ishi's temporary residence.

As the door opened, the refined yet depraved face of Tsudajima Ishina was revealed to Ye Shaohong.

"Director Ye?"

"What brings you here? Please come in!"

It must be said that these Japanese devils do have a talent for learning; they've practically learned all the Chinese etiquette.

However, their learning was incomplete and superficial; they only grasped the surface without understanding the essence.

They are polite on the surface, but cruel at heart.

They fear power but do not cherish virtue.

Yet they still cannot conceal their true nature.

This is also the real reason why many people in later generations say that the Japanese were hypocritical.

Just like Tsudajima Ishi now, when he saw Ye Shaohong coming over, there was clearly no subordinate relationship or personal affection between the two of them.

However, Tsudajima Ishi still showed a joyful and excited expression, and even bowed deeply to Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong felt extremely uncomfortable watching this; he felt as if every hair on his body stood on end.

For a fleeting moment, Ye Shaohong even considered kicking him directly.

And while you're at it, shout out, "What the hell are you pretending for?"

But there was no other way. For the sake of the mission, he had to force himself to endure this disgust and continue to associate with Tsudajima Ishikō and Weiyi.

"Mr. Tsuda."

"I came here specifically to thank you."

"Come, come, see what I've prepared for you. This is a famous and fine wine from China."

"Today, let's drink until we're completely drunk!"

As they were talking, Ye Shaohong took out all the dishes he had just prepared from the bamboo basket and placed them on the table.

These dishes are all unique delicacies from the Sichuan region.

Tsudajima Ishi had been lying low in Yamashiro for many years, so he was obviously familiar with him, and his long period of infiltration had gradually changed his tastes.

Gradually, I've developed a taste for spicy food.

Now that he has lost his freedom, seeing these delicious foods again brought a bright smile to his face.

"Director Ye."

"Thank you for your kindness, Arigato!"

Well, damn it, this bastard straightened up again and bowed deeply to Ye Shaohong.

Screw you!

Damn it, this little devil is up to no good. He's been in China for so many years, doesn't he know what bowing means in China? Damn it, is he deliberately trying to disgust people?

Ye Shaohong's lips twitched. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

Only then did he smile again.

"Oh, Mr. Tsuda, don't be so polite."

"Come, come, have a seat!"

To conceal the anger hidden deep in his eyes, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to personally pick up the wine pot and, with his head bowed, pour a cup of wine for Tsudajima Ishi.

He pushed the wine glass over again.

Tsudajima Ishi quickly took the wine glass, but the bastard lowered his head again while holding the glass.

He looked extremely grateful.

After downing a glass of wine, Tsudajima Ishi finally raised his head.

Then, this bastard instantly dropped the humble attitude he had just deliberately displayed, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Ye Shaohong without any manners.

"Director Ye."

"You came all this way today, there must be good news!"

"Let me guess, is it possible that the information I provided to you indicates that you've already cracked down on that transportation route?"

These Japanese devils, one moment hypocritical, the next aggressive, don't they find it very awkward?

Ye Shaohong cursed inwardly.

A smile still appeared on his face.

"Mr. Tsuda guessed correctly!"

“Yesterday afternoon, after we parted, I personally reported the information you gave me to Director Dai Yunong.”

"With Director Dai's approval, I personally carried out the arrest operation last night."

"The harvest is not bad."

"In this operation, we killed or wounded a total of thirteen people and arrested four!"

"It's a pity... in the end, due to a moment of carelessness, the leader of the transport team escaped through the secret passage!"

Ye Shaohong certainly couldn't tell Tsudajima Ishi the truth, so he deliberately told a lie here, concealing the news that the core members of the transportation team had been arrested.

He just wanted to see how Tsudajima Ishi would react after hearing the news.

Is it disappointment?

Or perhaps they were secretly pleased.

Only in this way could Ye Shaohong determine whether Tsudajima Ishi knew that the Japanese transport team was carrying out a secret mission.

Also, does Tsudajima Ishi know about the situation of the special agent squad of more than two hundred people in Jiangcheng?

"Only seventeen people?" "But according to the information I have, there should be more than twenty people in that warehouse."

"What about the radio and the codebook?"

Ye Shaohong's guess came true.

Tsudajima Ishikatsu did indeed know the details of the warehouse, but he did not reveal this information directly.

Now that they've heard that the leader of the freight team escaped through the tunnel, Tsudajima only revealed it now. Is he trying to get Ye Shaohong to continue the investigation?

There's also the radio and codebook that Tsudajima Ishiguchi mentioned.

Both of these items were recovered from the secret outpost of the Japanese transport squad, along with the radio and codebook, as well as a hand-drawn map by the Japanese.

Knew it.

Tsudajima Ishi is deliberately misleading Ye Shaohong, wanting him to continue the investigation and eventually discover the hand-drawn maps. That's going to be interesting.

Could it be that the Japanese army's 200-plus-man task force was just bait deliberately thrown out by the Japanese?

So what exactly do they want to do?
