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

Chapter 769 Mutual Shifting of Responsibility

"Oh, my dear Brother Ye, I've finally been waiting for you!"

"Let me see how badly you're injured!"

"Are you okay?"

Mao Renfeng shouted and ran to Ye Shaohong in a few steps.

Before Ye Shaohong could react, Mao Renfeng's fat, greasy hands had already landed on Ye Shaohong and started groping around.

This made Ye Shaohong even angrier.

What do you mean?

I haven't even bothered you yet, and you're already trying to disgust me? Everyone knows you, Mao Renfeng, are hypocritical, good at flattering and putting on an act, but your little tricks might work on other people.

Are you insulting me by using this on me?

I, Ye Shaohong, am not your lackey, nor do I have any intention of asking you for favors. There is no need for me to fawn over you or cooperate with your charade.

Feeling disgusted, Ye Shaohong didn't give Mao Renfeng a friendly look.

"Hey, isn't this Director Mao?"

"You don't have any work to do today, old man?"

"You actually had the time to come downstairs to pick me up. I, Ye Shaohong, am of low rank and position, and I cannot accept such kindness from you."

As they were talking, Ye Shaohong had already shaken off Mao Renfeng and walked straight toward the office building.

Ye Shaohong's attitude completely baffled Mao Renfeng.

He stood there, stunned, for a long time before he could react.

It wasn't until Chi Tiecheng parked the car and walked over that Mao Renfeng came to his senses. He grabbed Chi Tiecheng's arm and asked urgently.

"Iron City."

"Let me ask you something. Did your Director Ye have a bad day at home this morning?"

"Why is he so angry so early in the morning?"

It must be said that Mao Renfeng is indeed very shrewd and resourceful. Not long after Chi Tiecheng was transferred back to the Shancheng headquarters, he had already established a good friendship with Chi Tiecheng.

Given their past relationship, Chi Tiecheng really couldn't hide anything.

"Hey!"

"Director Mao, you really can't blame Director Ye for this. You have no idea how dangerous the assassination attempt last night was." "The Japanese devils dispatched six vehicles and more than twenty assassins at once to deal with Director Ye."

"At that time, there were only three people in our Ye department."

"One of the secretaries, Zhang He, secretly defected to the Japanese and tried to lure our Director Ye into an ambush."

"If it weren't for Director Ye's timely discovery and being the first to notice Zhang He's problem, Director Ye would have been in danger!"

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?!"

These detailed accounts were all recounted by Ye Shaohong to Chi Tiecheng on the way to the Special Service Headquarters.

Chi Tiecheng then picked and chose, telling Mao Renfeng only what he could say.

Chi Tiecheng did not recount Ye Shaohong's speculations about Zhang He or his suspicions about Mao Renfeng.

Because those speculations and doubts were all Ye Shaohong's own judgments. If he were to actually speak them out, it would be tantamount to offending Mao Renfeng, that despicable person. As Ye Shaohong's confidant, even if Chi Tiecheng had some relationship with Mao Renfeng, he knew whose food he was eating and whose bowl he was taking. He dared not do anything that would betray his master for personal gain.

Even so, Mao Renfeng was still startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

He finally understood why Ye Shaohong treated him this way.

It turns out he almost became an accomplice in the evildoers.

"Oh dear, it's all my fault!"

"Why didn't I properly investigate Zhang He's background? I almost got Brother Ye into trouble."

"I have committed a terrible sin!"

"No wonder he's resentful towards me. Anyone would be unable to calm down after something like this."

"No, I need to go over and explain things to him properly."

Mao Renfeng wasn't stupid; he was shrewd. Judging from Ye Shaohong's attitude just now, Mao Renfeng knew that things were definitely not as simple as Chi Tiecheng had said.

The dangers involved may be even more severe.

Ironically, he himself was the one who caused all of this.

Mao Renfeng panicked.

He couldn't imagine how furious Dai Yunong would be if the news reached his ears.

Even though he was Dai Yunong's benefactor and mentor.

Even if he was helping Dai Yunong support his concubine.

Mao Renfeng couldn't imagine how ruthless and crazy Dai Yunong would become if he caused Dai Yunong to lose Ye Shaohong, a trusted general.

But who can blame this?

Who told him to be so greedy, taking money he shouldn't have taken and doing things he shouldn't have done?

Mao Renfeng had to bear all the consequences himself. His heart was filled with anxiety and unease; even the legendary "smiling tiger" within the Special Service Department had lost his smile.

He is petty and narrow-minded, and also enjoys seeking revenge for personal reasons.

However, at this moment, Mao Renfeng dared not harbor the slightest dissatisfaction with Ye Shaohong.

He lifted his foot and hurriedly chased after Ye Shaohong.

The chase led them directly to Dai Yunong's office.

The moment Mao Renfeng opened the door and saw Dai Yunong and Ye Shaohong, he was completely stunned.

What did he see?

He saw Dai Yunong, the notorious head of the secret service within the Nationalist government and his superior, personally brewing tea for Ye Shaohong.

Such a thing is rare. Mao Renfeng had been by Dai Yunong's side for many years and had only seen it a few times. This is enough to show Ye Shaohong's status in Dai Yunong's heart.

"Director."

"Shao Hong!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mao Renfeng finally opened his mouth and called out softly.

As he finished speaking, Dai Yunong and Ye Shaohong both raised their heads, turning around or tilting their heads to look at Mao Renfeng.

Ye Shaohong gave a cold, muffled groan.

The resentment in my heart has not yet dissipated.

Dai Yunong frowned, took a few steps back to his desk, and sat down.

"Tell me about it."

"This time, when you arranged for Zhang He to be Shao Hong's secretary, whose connections did you use, and how much money did you receive?"

"You know how serious the consequences of this matter are. If you don't explain it clearly, you can't wash away the responsibility for misjudging people."

Dai Yunong still takes care of Mao Renfeng.

He first asked Mao Renfeng why he valued Zhang He so much and why he arranged for Zhang He to be placed next to Ye Shaohong.

The last sentence is the most beautiful.

The remark about misjudging people was neither too harsh nor too mild, serving as a subtle reminder and guidance to Mao Renfeng regarding the final outcome.

This completely put Mao Renfeng's anxious heart at ease.

"Yes Yes!"

"The magistrate's criticism is correct. I was indeed wrong this time. I couldn't control myself, and I deserve to be punished!"

"But I'm also feeling wronged, Director."

"Who would have thought that Zou, the deputy minister of education of the Nationalist government, would actually betray his country and defect to the enemy?"

"I did receive some money, but not much."

"Director, I think this matter is also inextricably linked to Vice Minister Zou of the Ministry of Education. I suggest that we also investigate him!"
