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

Chapter 80: The Supporting Characters Are All Wise People

Ye Shaohong's expression was slightly solemn as he left Xu Baichuan's office.

Although he had tried to overestimate the seriousness of the matter, he still did not expect that the turmoil caused by submitting the photos would be so great.

First, it alarmed Dai Yunong, and then it alarmed the bald-headed chairman.

It is said that at the Presidential Palace, the Chairman slammed his fist on the table. He not only cursed, but also summoned the head and deputy head of the Surveying and Mapping Bureau.

They pointed at their noses and cursed for more than ten minutes.

After venting his anger, the Chairman still felt unsatisfied and urgently convened a high-level meeting.

At the meeting, he briefed everyone on the recent achievements of the Special Service Department and specifically praised Dai Yunong.

The newly captured intelligence photos were only revealed at the last minute.

The KMT officials watching were secretly alarmed, and they had a clear understanding of the increasingly tense Sino-Japanese relations.

At this meeting, the Chairman took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​reorganizing the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

This highlights the importance of intelligence work.

The achievements of the Special Service Department convinced the bigwigs of the Nationalist government, and those who were originally dissatisfied and opposed to the reorganization plan proposed by the Chairman now kept quiet.

This shows that the Chairman has considerable political wisdom.

What was originally a defeat on the intelligence battlefield was transformed into a bargaining chip to achieve his goals in his hands.

Dai Yunong received special praise and saw the goodwill shown to him by a group of bigwigs. This guy got a little cocky.

In front of Chiang Kai-shek and a group of high-ranking officials from the Nationalist government, he actually made a pledge on the spot, promising that the Special Service Department would crack this major case of Japanese espionage in the shortest possible time.

This drew repeated praise from the Chairman.

He made an appearance.

But after returning to the Special Service Department, that scoundrel started playing dirty tricks again, secretly plotting and causing the Intelligence Section and the Action Section to fight each other on the spot.

Both sides must strive to gain control of the case.

As the largest department in the Special Service Bureau, the Intelligence Section has the most personnel, the most resources, and the most intelligence channels at its disposal.

They certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity to show their faces.

Just as Dai Yunong had expected, they immediately jumped out and, like a wolf baring its teeth to protect its prey, launched a frenzied counterattack against the Action Section. The head of the Action Section had been on a mission overseas recently and had not yet returned to Jinling, leaving only Xu Baichuan, who was powerless to resist the head and deputy head of the Intelligence Section.

Left with no other choice, Xu Baichuan gritted his teeth and threw Ye Shaohong into the mix.

He said that Ye Shaohong had been in charge of solving almost all the major cases of the Special Service recently, and that Ye Shaohong was the first to discover clues in this major case involving Japanese spies.

They also caught a Japanese spy on the spot.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong should rightfully be in charge of the investigation.

To demonstrate the determination of the Action Section, Xu Baichuan didn't play the good guy either, and even without Ye Shaohong's consent, he signed a pledge on the spot.

In the end, everyone benefited from this whole affair and gained face in front of their superiors.

Ultimately, the responsibility fell on Ye Shaohong.

Who told him to be inexperienced and hold a low position? As for those above him, they were all cunning old foxes, each one as sly as a devil. Ye Shaohong wanted to object, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Fortunately, Xu Baichuan had some conscience. While signing the pledge, he also asked for benefits on Ye Shaohong's behalf.

Dai Yunong did not disappoint Ye Shaohong.

He made it clear that the reorganization of the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau was inevitable. If Ye Shaohong could crack this major Japanese spy case, he would promote Ye Shaohong exceptionally after the Special Service Department was reorganized into the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau.

He was appointed as the commander of the expanded and reorganized detachment.

Although it's still just empty promises, this time the promises are different from before; they were made in front of many high-ranking officials in the intelligence service.

It's already a done deal.

Xu Baichuan knew he couldn't get away with what he'd done and was ashamed to face Ye Shaohong. But when he heard that Ye Shaohong had recently recruited a江湖客 (jianghu ke, a person from the martial arts world), he readily agreed to Li Yunlong's request to join the company.

This saved face for them.

And so, Ye Shaohong walked out of Xu Baichuan's office in a daze.

It wasn't until he stepped out of the office building and was momentarily blinded by the spring sunshine that Ye Shaohong snapped out of his reverie, still basking in Xu Baichuan's comforting words.

"Pooh!"

"Damn it, a bunch of old foxes."

"None of them are spouting any good nonsense."

"If this matter didn't involve the Japanese devils, I would quit my job right now."

After cursing angrily for a few moments, Ye Shaohong looked up at the sky again, then shook his head and sighed softly before turning and entering the underground cell of the Action Section.

Before he even reached the interrogation room door, he heard a series of piercing wails and screams from afar.

Amidst the piercing wails and screams, there was also a strange, eerie laugh.

Without needing to discern, Ye Shaohong knew the man's identity.

Li Yunlong.

This successor of the Northern School of Swallows, though known as a chivalrous thief on the streets, is hardly a good person.

Stealing was his job, there's nothing to say about that.

Besides stealing, this kid is skilled in everything from rape and kidnapping to swindling and deception.

He's really got it all figured out.

Li Yunlong even had some knowledge of unorthodox techniques for interrogation and forced confessions. He even assured Ye Shaohong that he had learned some martial arts techniques for capturing and seizing prisoners.

It would be perfectly fine to use it for interrogating Japanese spies.

Ye Shaohong was also curious, so he put him in charge of interrogating the Japanese spies. Although he hadn't seen the actual scene yet, judging from the sound, the effect should be pretty good.

Pushing open the door and stepping inside, Ye Shaohong immediately saw the Japanese spy who was tied to the torture rack, trembling and weeping.

I saw his lips, torn open from extreme pain.

Ye Shaohong smiled.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers being tortured, the slight frustration he had just suffered at Xu Baichuan's hands vanished instantly.

"So, did you confess?"

"Hey!"

"Captain Ye, you've come at just the right time. This old guy couldn't take the torture anymore and just confessed."

Li Yunlong, still dressed in his black night clothes, immediately put on a fawning smile upon hearing Ye Shaohong's question. He then began to recount the results of his interrogation.

"Recruited?"

"Very good, you didn't disappoint me."

"Of course, I haven't disappointed you either. Here, this is your identification. From this moment on, you are no longer a member of the martial arts world."

"It wasn't the Swallow Thief, but a member of the First Squad of the Special Operations Division."

"Is it fair that I'm putting you under my command for now?"

Ye Shaohong wasn't going to give the thief Li Yunlong a friendly look, lest the shameless man take advantage of the situation. He still maintained a semblance of military authority.

Li Yunlong took the small document, opened it, and glanced at it.

His face immediately lit up with surprise and excitement.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, he dared not delay or hesitate any longer. He immediately imitated the soldiers and police officers on the street and gave Ye Shaohong a strange salute.

"Captain Ye, it's my honor to be your subordinate!"
