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

Chapter 860 Defection

After leaving Dai Yunong's office, Ye Shaohong made a phone call to the car team.

His personal driver, Du Yu, arrived very quickly.

"go home!"

Ye Shaohong's urgent urging was evident in his words. Du Yu clearly understood Ye Shaohong's feelings, smiled, and immediately started the car.

Twenty minutes later, the car slowly pulled up in front of the Ye family mansion.

Just then, Ye's mother was about to go shopping.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong return, the handbag she was carrying immediately fell to the ground. "That ungrateful little thing, at least he knows how to come back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, tears of joy streamed down her cheeks.

Ye's mother strode forward to Ye Shaohong's side, raised her hand as if to slap him across the face.

only…….

The hand had just been raised when it froze in mid-air.

Finally, Ye's mother gently placed her hand on Ye Shaohong's cheek, stroking it lightly, and he smiled through his tears.

"Just come back!"

"Hurry home and see, Manli is eight months pregnant, your child is about to be born!"

What news could possibly compare to this?

Ye Shaohong's face lit up with a bright smile. He greeted his mother briefly, then strode into the Ye family mansion and went straight to his and Yu Manli's room.

The moment Ye Shaohong pushed open the door, he was stunned.

Nothing strange or unusual happened.

Ye Shaohong only saw that, under the quiet and gentle sunlight, Yu Manli was sewing baby clothes by the window.

At that moment, Yu Manli displayed a maternal radiance and a unique charm that made Ye Shaohong reluctant to disturb her.

So beautiful.

Ye Shaohong felt that he would remember this scene for the rest of his life.

Just then, Yu Manli also heard the sound of the door opening.

She turned to the side and looked in the direction of the door.

When Yu Manli saw Ye Shaohong, she opened her mouth slightly, and then a smile appeared on her face.

A tear silently slid down her cheek. "My lord!"

"You're back?"

No need for overly sentimental words, no need to get up to greet them, just this simple murmur of their own thoughts, yet it fully expresses the tender longing and affection between this young couple.

"Well, I'm back!"

"Manli, you've had a tough time these past few days."

Ye Shaohong nodded slightly, carefully stepped over, and naturally squatted down.

He stroked Yu Manli's protruding belly with his hand.

Then, Ye Shaohong gently lowered his head and listened to the beating of the little life inside Yu Manli's belly.

He smiled.

He smiled brightly, he smiled foolishly, he smiled like a child.

Yu Manli didn't say much. There were no words of blame or resentment. Facing the soft light of the setting sun, she slowly raised her hand and placed it on Ye Shaohong's hair.

It was also gently stroking it.

What a beautiful scene of harmony and quiet marital bliss.

…………

The next morning.

With Yu Manli's help, Ye Shaohong got up and put on his military uniform.

With great reluctance, he got back into the car and traveled all the way to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Luojiawan.

He didn't want to come to work today.

But there is no way.

Upon hearing the news of Ye Shaohong's safe return with his team, the bald-headed Chairman, for reasons unknown, decided to personally visit the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters in Luojiawan to award Ye Shaohong a medal and reward. He also intended to promote Li Yunlong, Chi Tiecheng, and others.

Ye Shaohong has many honors, so he can disregard them, but Chi Tiecheng and the others cannot.

These brothers who followed him, fighting life and death in the Beijing-Tianjin area, also had to support their families, wanted to be promoted, and wanted to enjoy the flattery and praise of their colleagues.

As their leader and direct superior, Ye Shaohong had to grant their request at this time.

So, Ye Shaohong finally came.

There's not much to say about the process of awarding commendations and medals; it's all the same old story.

First, the bald-headed chairman delivered a lengthy speech praising Ye Shaohong and his colleagues for their great achievements and contributions to the country and the nation.

Then Dai Yunong went on stage and praised Ye Shaohong.

He seized the opportunity to flatter the bald-headed chairman, expressing his loyalty.

After a long and tedious speech, it was time for Ye Shaohong and his colleagues to go on stage to present the awards.

This naturally made many of his colleagues within the Military Intelligence Bureau quite envious.

After the award ceremony, the bald-headed chairman went back to where he came from, and Dai Yunong and Mao Renfeng also had their own things to do.

Only Xu Baichuan, Zheng Yaoxian, and Wang Tianfeng remained.

The brothers gathered together to congratulate Ye Shaohong, and then urged him to hold a banquet.

A few people got together.

Ye Shaohong, of course, would not refuse.

He readily agreed and arranged a time and place with Xu Baichuan, Zheng Yaoxian, Wang Tianfeng, and others.

Chi Tiecheng and his colleagues were also chatting with their acquaintances.

Everyone has their own busy schedules and their own ways of having fun.

Ye Shaohong didn't concern himself with these matters. He simply inquired about the time when Chi Tiecheng and the others would be holding their victory celebration banquet, informing them that he would be there to join in the fun.

Ye Shaohong then went straight home.

Work?

Get out of here, Ye Shaohong has no interest in going to work right now.

Their trip to Beijing and Tianjin was incredibly dangerous; they teetered on the brink of death several times.

Now that they've returned with a full load, can't they take a break?

Do you even understand reason?

No matter who it is, it won't work for Ye Shaohong right now. All he wants to do is rest.

Give up!

He wanted to stay at home and wait for his eldest son to be born safely.

And this period of stagnation lasted for a full seven or eight days.

It wasn't until a phone call suddenly came into the Ye family mansion that Ye Shaohong was urged by Mao Renfeng to return to work at the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters in Luojiawan.

What happened?

Ding Mocun defected.

This guy was quite a figure in the Republican era.

He was not as useless and incompetent as portrayed in later movies and TV series.

It's important to know that in early 1937, when the Nationalist government reorganized its domestic intelligence agencies, Ding Mocun was the head of one of the three major intelligence organizations under the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

During that historical period, Ding Mocun was a representative of the Nationalist government's secret service, standing alongside Dai Yunong and Xu Enzeng.

The postal and telecommunications inspection bureau he controlled was also a representative camp of the CC Clique under the dual leadership of Chen Shuang.

Unfortunately, this guy was unlucky. He offended Dai Yunong, or rather, Dai Yunong coveted the authority of the post and telecommunications inspection office.

Finally, through Ye Shaohong and with the help of Zheng Yaoxian, Dai Yunong found evidence of Ding Mocun's corruption and seized the opportunity to file a complaint with the bald-headed chairman.

This led to Ding Mocun's dejected exit.

For a long time afterward, Ding Mocun remained in seclusion, observing the situation.

He is waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

In the end, Ding Mocun did not receive a summons from the bald-headed chairman, but instead received a recruitment offer from the Japanese.

Then this heartless guy just betrayed his country and defected to the enemy.

According to information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Ding Mocun had already left the mountain city under the cover of Japanese personnel, disguised and in disguise.

Heading to Shanghai...
