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

Chapter 87 Exchange of Interests

After nightfall, Ye Shaohong returned to the Special Service Department.

Unlike when he set off in the morning, he was now alone with Zhuang Yifan.

He does indeed resemble Zhao Jianzhi very much.

Foolish and confused, Ye Shaohong didn't give any orders, and Zhuang Yifan didn't ask any questions either. He just obediently guarded Ye Shaohong's side.

He could be considered to have fulfilled his duty.

Ye Shaohong was not satisfied with this. He had already figured out Zhuang Yifan's hidden identity when he brought Zhuang Yifan out of Nancheng Prison.

Back in his office, Ye Shaohong immediately called the Nancheng Police Station, wanting to find Police Chief Zhou Fei. He and the Japanese spy Tanaka Tsutomu had met briefly when Tanaka broke into Ye Shaohong's home late at night.

Zhou Fei's upright and composed demeanor left a deep impression on Ye Shaohong.

Now that he needed to use the police station's resources, Ye Shaohong immediately thought of Zhou Fei. He made a call and found out that Zhou Fei was on duty at the police station.

Upon hearing the familiar soft Suzhou-Shanghai dialect, Ye Shaohong didn't hesitate and immediately revealed his identity.

Although Zhou Fei was surprised and puzzled as to why Ye Shaohong would take the initiative to contact him, he did not show it on the surface. His response was neither humble nor arrogant, but also carried a slight sense of distance.

This is out of consideration for Ye Shaohong's identity as a secret agent.

"Captain Zhou, I have a matter to ask of you. It is of great importance, and I beg you to lend a hand."

Regardless of the difference in their social status, Ye Shaohong was not the type to boss people around; at least, he always maintained a good facade.

"You say!"

"When it comes to official business, Zhou will never be ambiguous."

Zhou Fei's personality was exactly the same as Ye Shaohong remembered. With just a few simple words, he gave Ye Shaohong a cold shoulder.

Ye Shaohong seemed oblivious as well.

He immediately started asking around about the gangs in the area near Chaotian Palace.

Zhou Fei didn't hide anything from him and told him without hesitation.

Zhou Fei even told Ye Shaohong everything about the powerful figures behind those gangs, which showed his intelligence.

After all, if Ye Shaohong really wanted to know this information, he could find it out without going through him. If he told him frankly, it would ease the tension between the two of them.

"Blind Chen, Shanhe Society, Vajra Gate?" "Then which of these three is the territory near Huiquan Teahouse?"

See the picture poorly.

At this point, Ye Shaohong no longer concealed his purpose, and his question immediately silenced Zhou Fei on the other end of the phone.

"It's the Mountain and River Association!"

"Their leader is named Hu Yibiao, a native of Shandong Province. He came to Nanjing about seven or eight years ago. He is skilled in martial arts and is proficient in using Japanese swords. He has about thirty trusted followers."

"He controls two streets near Huiquan Tea House. He is ruthless and vicious, and a difficult character to deal with."

When Zhou Fei said this, his tone became more serious, suggesting that he had also suffered a loss at the hands of Hu Yibiao.

"Skilled in using Japanese swords?"

Ye Shaohong asked a question in return, and as he spoke, it was clear that his eyes narrowed at the same time.

"Then who's behind him?"

"Captain Zhou, I'm calling you today on official business, and I hope you won't hide anything from me."

"How could I dare!"

Zhou Fei responded with a wry smile, then added, "Hu Yibiao does indeed have someone behind him, none other than Feng Huishan, the deputy director of our Nancheng Police Station!"

“Unlike the gangs I told you about earlier, his identity and position are probably not of interest to you, so I didn’t mention it.”

Is it simply that she doesn't meet his standards?

Ye Shaohong sneered inwardly.

Don't be fooled by the upright and composed demeanor of this week's flight attendant; those who rise through the ranks in the police force are no fools.

He deliberately kept something to himself. If Ye Shaohong's prediction was correct, Zhou Fei and Feng Huishan, the deputy director of the Nancheng Police Station, should have a deep conflict. He deliberately concealed the relationship between Hu Yibiao and Feng Huishan, and also wanted to use the Special Service Department and Ye Shaohong to teach Feng Huishan a lesson.

Ye Shaohong didn't seem to mind.

The saying goes, "A sedan chair is carried by people," meaning that if you make things convenient for me, I'll make things convenient for you. This is the rule of officialdom in China.

Both of them were intelligent people, and they had already said what needed to be said. They also knew perfectly well what they shouldn't have said, so there was no need to tell them everything.

"He's just a deputy director; he's really not a big deal!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll be frank. Due to some missions, I need to send someone to take over the Shanhe Society's territory."

"It's just that our Special Service Department can't handle this personally, so I'm afraid the responsibility will fall on you, Captain Zhou."

"I wonder if Captain Zhou would be willing?" Since Zhou Fei is willing to use his strength, it is no longer Ye Shaohong asking for a favor. It is just an exchange of benefits, a matter of mutual consent. Therefore, Ye Shaohong has no need to hold back his sharp edge.

His frankness once again silenced Zhou Fei on the other end of the phone.

Two or three minutes later, Zhou Fei's voice finally came slowly.

"Time, name!"

"it is good!"

"Captain Zhou is very helpful."

"At 10 PM tonight, the person he'll be with is named Zhuang Yifan. He's 1.89 meters tall and has an extremely robust build!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong hung up the phone without waiting for Zhou Fei's response, and then turned to look at Zhuang Yifan.

"Did you hear that?" "Yes!"

"Then you should understand my thoughts. I'll give you five spots, and you can choose them yourself at the training ground."

"I only have one request for you: by noon tomorrow, I want you to completely wipe out the Shanhe Society and take over the territory of those two streets."

"Yes!"

Zhuang Yifan nodded, then turned and left Ye Shaohong's office.

A dozen minutes later, the security guard from the action department called Ye Shaohong to inform him that Zhuang Yifan had already led his men out.

Standing behind the window of his second-floor office, Ye Shaohong watched the figures disappear into the darkness in an instant, and then picked up the film from his pocket camera and took out the photos.

Looking at those topographical maps of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, he frowned slightly.

"Why is that?" "Such confidential and important intelligence, instead of being directly handed over to the military, is being transported to Nanjing!"

"I need to get to the bottom of this."

"No matter who the person preparing to make contact is, or what their identity is, I won't let you get away from this meeting. I want to get the answers out of you myself."

Let's unravel this mystery!
