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

Chapter 875 Hanoi Murder Trap

Contrary to later generations' imagination, Hanoi in 1938 already showed signs of becoming a major city.

Although it doesn't have as many skyscrapers as Shanghai.

However, as a French colony located in the strategic center of the peninsula, Hanoi's economy is still quite good.

Take the Hanoi Grand Hotel for example; it was originally built in the early 19th century.

But it is also a building that is seven stories high.

The hotel entrance was brightly lit, and there were countless vehicles coming and going. Among the passersby, in addition to the local people, there were also quite a few white-skinned, blond-haired foreigners from various European countries.

When the car stopped, Ye Shaohong didn't get out immediately. Instead, he remained inside, turning to look at the entrance of the grand hotel.

Although it was just a quick glance, Ye Shaohong still managed to spot quite a few hidden sentries outside the hotel, thanks to the keen eye he had developed during his years of military service.

These people all have East Asian faces.

Besides the seven or eight Chinese people who were 1.67 meters tall, there were also more than a dozen short people who were just over 1.5 meters tall.

Judging from their cautious and careful demeanor, Ye Shaohong knew without guessing or thinking that these people were probably Japanese troops.

"There are quite a few people!"

Although he was prepared, Ye Shaohong still had a headache in the face of this situation.

At that moment, he truly regretted it.

He regretted sending the Jellyfish Assassination Team to hunt down Ding and Li. He also regretted not being so hasty in sending the entire powerful Special Agent Group No. 5 to the Northeast.

If they had been able to be captured, Ye Shaohong wouldn't be in such a predicament after this assassination attempt.

"Yunlong".

"Go and call Chen Gongshu and Wang Tianmu here!"

"Oh, and let's call my good-for-nothing secretary over too!"

Mentioning Xu Zhongyi made Ye Shaohong angry; that kid was definitely not cut out to be a spy.

When Xu Zhongyi heard that Ye Shaohong and his men were preparing to go to Hanoi to hunt down Wang, he almost collapsed to the ground.

His face turned pale with fright.

The only thing that gave Ye Shaohong some comfort was that although Xu Zhongyi was very scared, he ultimately did not utter any words of cowardice or desertion.

They obediently followed Ye Shaohong and the others to Hanoi.

It can be said that Ye Shaohong was not completely disappointed.

A few minutes later.

Ye Shaohong and his group had already sat down at the stall outside the Hanoi Grand Hotel.

They ate the unique local delicacies of Yue while observing and surveying their surroundings.

This time, Li Xian and Li Yunfei from the Swallow Sect also came along.

Li Yunxin's sacrifice created enmity between the Yanzimen and the Japanese invaders.

They also officially embarked on the path of resistance against Japan.

However, like Su Wenqian, they did not choose to join the National Government, but instead became members of Ye Shaohong's group as unofficial staff.

These are the personnel who refuse to comply with orders. Ye Shaohong will not forcibly control their freedom of movement.

Just like now.

After a brief moment of observation, Ye Shaohong still felt it wasn't safe enough, so his gaze naturally fell on Li Yunfei.

"Yunfei".

"I'll have to trouble you to personally make the trip and find all the people hiding in this area!"

Li Yunxin's sacrifice turned Li Yunfei, a resolute man, into a completely silent man. Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, he simply nodded and turned to leave.

Li Yunlong did want to follow, but without Ye Shaohong's permission, he could only stay on the sidelines.

Ye Shaohong also noticed the strange expression on Li Yunlong's face, but he ignored it.

Instead, he turned and looked at Xu Zhongyi. "Hmph!"

"You good-for-nothing, you don't even have to fight on the front lines yourself, what are you afraid of?"

"Control your legs, stop shaking."

Xu Zhongyi was startled by Ye Shaohong's reprimand.

Fortunately.

Startled, Xu Zhongyi finally managed to control his terrified mind.

"Seventh Brother."

"You know my training results..."

Xu Zhongyi lowered his head in shame; he actually felt somewhat guilty about his actions.

"okay."

"I don't blame you. From the moment I chose you and put you by my side, I never thought of letting you take on any dangerous missions!"

"However, since you've joined the Military Intelligence Bureau, you must be prepared to make sacrifices."

"Now I'm giving you a task."

"You're quite handsome, kid. You look just like a playboy from Shanghai. Go change your clothes and dress up like a playboy. Go inside the restaurant and find out what's going on."

Ye Shaohong's arrangement was made after careful consideration.

He could have easily sent someone else to investigate this matter.

But the best choice is still Xu Zhongyi.

Besides the reasons he just told Xu Zhongyi, there was a deeper reason: Xu Zhongyi's health was too weak.

He doesn't look like a military person at all.

Coupled with his handsome appearance and timid demeanor, calling him a playboy wouldn't be an exaggeration. Sending Xu Zhongyi to the Hanoi Grand Hotel for initial reconnaissance wouldn't attract much attention, even if Wang Jingwei's bodyguards or Japanese spies saw him.

This must be what they mean by playing oneself.

But Xu Zhongyi didn't think so.

Upon hearing the mission assignment, Xu Zhongyi immediately cowered.

"Seventh Brother."

"Can I..."

"Shut up!"

"I'm not joking with you, this is an order, a military order is absolute, if you are unwilling to do it..."

"I do..."

Before Ye Shaohong could finish speaking, Xu Zhongyi cleverly interrupted him.

Xu Zhongyi then immediately gave a wry smile.

He had clearly resigned himself to his fate. "Hmph!"

"Why didn't you just say this earlier? Why make me waste my breath?"

"Hurry up and do it. Listen carefully, I don't ask much of you, and I don't expect you to find those people who are hiding in the hotel."

"All you need to do is find out Wang's room number, the number of his bodyguards, and their location through your own means."

"Come back immediately after you've investigated thoroughly!"

After some explanation, Xu Zhongyi's panicked state of mind was finally calmed down a little.

Ye Shaohong thought for a moment, then pulled out a thick wad of US dollars from his pocket and tossed it in front of Xu Zhongyi.

He felt that money might be Xu Zhongyi's greatest asset.

Only money can fully unleash the waiter's abilities. "Go."

"Be careful. If you encounter any danger, I'll allow you to evacuate immediately!"

Ye Shaohong waved his hand, and Xu Zhongyi picked up the US dollars on the table with a bitter expression, got up and left.

Ten minutes later.

Xu Zhongyi reappeared, and his disguise, demeanor and behavior made Ye Shaohong's eyes light up.

not bad.

This bastard is indeed quite capable. Perhaps even he himself is unaware that his makeup, attire, and behavior at this moment perfectly conceal his identity.

Ye Shaohong's anticipation for Xu Zhongyi's mission grew even stronger.
