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

Chapter 83 Prisons Have Always Been Home to Many Talented People

Before he transmigrated here, Ye Shaohong had watched a movie that he still remembers vividly.

In that movie, an older actor said something.

What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Talent.

If Ye Shaohong didn't have much to say about this statement before, now he understands it clearly.

Facing this group of rough and burly men, Ye Shaohong felt exhausted.

It's not that he looks down on these people.

In Ye Shaohong's eyes, people are not inherently noble or lowly; they are simply suited to different jobs.

These rough men in front of us may not be good at any delicate work, but when it comes to charging into battle, each of them is a true hero.

But Ye Shaohong doesn't need someone like that right now.

What he needs is someone who can blend in with the crowd and mingle in the lower strata of society to help him with surveillance and investigation.

The people in the current operations department are simply not up to the task.

To solve this problem, Ye Shaohong had to come up with another solution.

For anyone else, this would be an absolutely unsolvable problem.

But Ye Shaohong was different.

His soul comes from the future and has experienced the information explosion and the bombardment of short videos. He may not have any other skills, but he has plenty of strange and wicked tricks.

After only a moment of frowning and thinking, Ye Shaohong came up with a solution. He raised his hand and beckoned Li Yunlong over.

"Walk."

"Come with me to Nancheng Prison!"

That's right, that's the solution Ye Shaohong came up with.

If we're talking about where the most talented people are in the world, the officialdom, the business world, and the underworld are definitely at the top of the list.

It's a place teeming with hidden talents; every successful person there is a master strategist.

But even Ye Shaohong couldn't invite someone like that.

Even if they could invite him over, given Ye Shaohong's current rank and position in the Special Service Department, those people might not necessarily give him face or listen to his orders.

Since he couldn't control the people in the public eye, Ye Shaohong had no choice but to back down.

They turned their attention to prisons.

Things went much as he expected. After driving Li Yunlong all the way to Nancheng Prison, Ye Shaohong took out his military officer's ID and easily met the prison warden.

After explaining his purpose, the warden pondered for only a moment before agreeing without hesitation.

"Sir, are you looking for some thugs, hooligans, swindlers, and thieves?"

"It's easy."

“We may not have much else here, but we can easily find a hundred or two hundred people like the ones you’re looking for, sir.”

"I'll have them all gathered together right now, so you can choose whichever you like, sir."

The warden of Nancheng Prison was a real genius. He didn't even ask Ye Shaohong what he wanted to do with these people. He just stuck to his duty and did what he was supposed to do.

Such people are rare these days.

Ye Shaohong hadn't known him for long, but he had a good impression of him. When the prison guards were gathering the prisoners, Ye Shaohong chatted with him for a while.

It was only during this conversation that they discovered the warden was actually a member of the Secret Service.

Moreover, he was a graduate of the Southern Metropolis Daily's training program for police officers.

They are definitely the backbone of the secret service.

This explains why the man was so sensible after Ye Shaohong revealed his identity and explained his purpose.

During this conversation, all the prisoners held in Nancheng Prison were also gathered together.

In this season of fluctuating temperatures and the return of spring, a howling north wind is still blowing today. Hundreds of people have gathered in the prison square, yet they are all silent, each one as still as a quail.

"Brother, don't underestimate these people."

“Look at them now, they’re all behaving themselves, but outside of prison, many of them have incredibly prominent identities.” “Let me give you two examples.”

"Did you see that little old man leading the third row? Don't let his gray hair and hunched back fool you; seven or eight years ago, he was the head of the entire Nanjing underworld."

"When our Northern Expeditionary Army entered Nanjing, just because an officer harassed his concubine, this old bastard actually dared to lead his men and wipe out the officer's entire family overnight. They disemboweled him, and blood and body parts were scattered all over the ground. When the army went to investigate the scene, two of them fainted from fright."

"When the case was finally solved and the higher-ups ordered his arrest, the old man still dared to lead a group to resist. In the end, they had to mobilize an entire company of men to capture him."

When the old man's past was mentioned, the warden sighed with emotion. He still held a certain amount of respect for such an old-timer.

His words successfully piqued the curiosity of Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong. The two simultaneously turned to look at the hunched old man.

After careful examination, no difference could be found between this person and ordinary people.

He was just an ordinary old man from the streets.

"I have a question: since he caused such a big commotion, why wasn't he executed on the spot?"

"Did you send a gift through someone?"

With doubts in his heart, Ye Shaohong didn't hide anything and asked directly.

"no!"

"That old man is very stubborn. How could someone with his temper possibly ask someone to send him a gift?"

"If he truly had that intention, he wouldn't have slaughtered the entire family overnight just because his concubine was humiliated."

The warden shook his head. He didn't deliberately keep Ye Shaohong in suspense. He simply paused slightly before recounting the man's later experiences.

It turns out that this little old man is a public-spirited and righteous person.

After he became the leader of the underworld in Nanjing, he rarely did things that involved bullying others. After he became wealthy, he would often help some impoverished scholars and revolutionary martyrs.

He doesn't ask for anything in return.

Over the past ten years, he has helped hundreds or even thousands of people. With so many people, some of them have inevitably become influential.

These people were grateful for his kindness, and after hearing his story, they did not forget his kindness. They did everything they could to help him overcome his ordeal.

In the end, the old man survived.

Even after entering the South City Prison, he was always secretly taken care of, and the warden would receive calls from those people from time to time.

He was a special case in Nancheng Prison.

After hearing the story of the old man who was the underworld boss, Ye Shaohong became even more interested in the people in the prison, and let the warden call on him to explain the past experiences of several people.

You know what, there are some really talented people in prison.

A gangster boss, a bandit overlord, a notorious old swindler, a hero who stood up for his master to repay a debt of gratitude for a meal...

They were all unremarkable, many of them would have been lost in a crowd and not even noticed by Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong. But it was these ordinary people who, with the passion hidden in their hearts and the things they did, still earned Ye Shaohong's respect.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

"Looks like I really made the right choice coming here this time."
