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

Chapter 787 The bastard is dead?

Xu Baichuan spoke in a serious tone, and his expression was also very gloomy.

This piqued Ye Shaohong's interest.

He reached out and took the ledger from Xu Baichuan's hand, glanced through it briefly, and then his face instantly turned gloomy and ugly.

What did he see in this ledger?

He saw that the ledger clearly listed all the expenses for building the fortifications in Jiangcheng.

There are also lists of supplies to be purchased, etc...

These things, in other places, would be unremarkable and wouldn't be enough to alarm Ye Shaohong and Xu Baichuan, two bigwigs in the Special Service. But here, it's a different story.

What's going on?

The fortifications in Jiangcheng were all dug and constructed to resist the Japanese invasion.

It concerns the life and death of the nation and its people.

It also concerns the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians on the front lines.

Such defensive fortifications ultimately fell into the hands of a businessman who secretly betrayed his country and colluded with the Japanese.

How can things possibly get better?

If that merchant surnamed Kong from Shandong Province were to tamper with the materials used to construct the fortifications, the defensive works built by over a million soldiers and civilians near Jiangcheng over several months would become a shoddy project.

How could we defend against the Japanese planes and cannons, and how could we protect the brave Chinese men who were fighting in the war?

"Bastard!" "How dare he!"

"Someone, go and fetch Li Beifa here!"

Ye Shaohong was truly enraged this time; what he was holding in his hand was no longer just a thin book or ledger.

Those were the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians.

That concerns national security.

It was so heavy that even Ye Shaohong found it hard to bear.

He had to figure this out. In a sense, figuring it out was now even more important than finding out where Miharu Toshiaki was.

Li's Northern Expedition came very quickly.

They had only been separated for a short while, and in that brief moment, Li Beifa had already taken off his military uniform and rolled up his sleeves.

His clothes were stained with blood.

It was obvious without even thinking that it was that traitorous merchant from Shandong province. "Seventh Brother, did you call me?"

"Did that guy surnamed Kong confess?"

"Not yet. The conditions here are rudimentary, and we don't have suitable interrogation equipment. We just subjected him to a round of torture, but the old guy is still holding out."

"Fight him to the death!"

"Li Beifa, put aside the matter of pursuing Sanchun Shouhui for now. Take this account and go over there to find out for me whether there was any adulteration or substandard material in the materials he purchased for the construction of the Jiangcheng defenses."

"This matter is of utmost importance. I'm only giving you half an hour. Even if you have to kill that bastard, you have to pry his mouth open!"

"Go!"

Ye Shaohong roared angrily, raised his hand and threw the account book in his hand into Li Beifa's hands.

At this moment, Ye Shaohong exuded a murderous aura. Li Beifa couldn't help but shudder at the sight.

"Yes!"

"I'll go!"

Li Beifa responded with a loud shout, not daring to delay for a moment, and hurriedly turned and ran away.

"Fourth brother!"

"You should go and inform the Chief about what happened here and see what his decision is."

"Let him have that idea too!"

"Should we report this to the Chairman now, and also send a telegram to the defense commander of Jiangcheng area?"

Ye Shaohong rubbed his temples, feeling a terrible headache; he was truly exhausted.

The threat from Sanchun Shouhui hadn't been eliminated yet, and now this troubling thing had happened. Ye Shaohong could already foresee that once they reported the matter, the entire National Government's top leadership would probably start cursing.

This time, before the battle even begins, countless heads will likely roll to the ground first.

But those people deserved it.

Why choose to make money that goes against conscience and harms the interests of the nation and its people? For them, confiscation of their property and extermination of their entire clan would be too lenient.

"I know."

"I'm currently considering how to report back to the Chief!"

"This is a huge matter. I can't even imagine how the Chief will react when he hears the news!"

Xu Baichuan shook his head bitterly; this was the problem that was giving him the biggest headache right now.

"Report it!"

"Regardless of the Director's decision, we cannot hide it from him."

"Go and report the news first. Once the interrogation results are out, I will immediately lead the team back."

Ye Shaohong raised his hand and patted Xu Baichuan on the shoulder. He knew that reporting this news was a dangerous job that would definitely take a lot of risks, but he did not intend to get involved.

Who told Xu Baichuan to be his fourth brother?

He was still his superior.

The burden that needs to be borne can only be borne by Xu Baichuan; we can't let his small frame bear a weight he shouldn't have to.

"You're such a sly one!"

"Alright, I'll head back to headquarters first. You keep an eye on things here. Today's troubles aren't limited to this. Besides Wang's trusted men, he'll definitely make some moves as well."

"That Sanchun Shouhui, he's a real menace! It would have been fine if he hadn't come to Shancheng, but now that he's here, he's planning to turn the world upside down!" "That old devil, we have to find him and skin him alive!"

Xu Baichuan sighed sadly, and finally called a few trusted subordinates and left the courtyard.

……

at the same time.

In a secluded alley in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, Sanchun Shouhui was fleeing in panic under the protection of his men.

He was indeed injured.

He was still badly injured when a bullet struck him squarely in the chest.

As his subordinates carried him and ran at high speed, Miharu Hisashi's face grew paler and paler, almost to the point of being bloodless.

Even so, the old Japanese soldier gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to faint.

"Masako!"

"I'm afraid I can't make it. If I am destined to die today to appease the licking leeches, you will have to take on the responsibility for the follow-up plans."

"We have less than a day left until our final operation."

"You have to promise me that no matter what the cost, you will make the plan work perfectly."

"As long as our plan succeeds, this vast land of China will become the territory of our Great Eastern Empire, and the place where our Great Dung Warriors will rise!"

While coughing softly, Miharu Toshiki still made the final arrangements with his eyes wide open.

"Section Chief!"

"You'll be alright, hang in there. I'll send someone out to find a doctor right now."

"You will definitely get out of danger."

"I can also personally oversee this perfect plan!"

Beside Miharu Toshiki was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties, with stunning looks and a captivating figure.

Her face showed anxiety and worry, but the words she spoke still revealed the extreme malice and madness of the Japanese devils, as if she had taken drugs.

"That's right, we will succeed!"

"It will definitely succeed!"

"Tomorrow... tomorrow is the day of action. Our plan is so perfect, it absolutely cannot fail!"

"Masako, why can't I see anything all of a sudden?"

"Am I going to die? I'm not reconciled...."

The critically injured and dying Miharu Hisashi mumbled to himself in a daze. He raised his hand, then suddenly let it fall back down, having already fainted.

"idiot!"

"Section Chief Sanchun..."

"The Special Service, Ye Shaohong, I will make you pay the price..."
