Chapter 902 Arrival in Shanghai Again

Two days later, Ye Shaohong and his group of six boarded an ocean liner and left Hong Kong Island.

The target is Shanghai.

Before the passenger ship departed, Ye Shaohong came to the deck and looked out at the dilapidated yet bustling port of Hong Kong Island.

His heart was filled with helplessness.

If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't want to leave now.

But there was nothing he could do.

The previous operation had wiped out the assassination squad, and the destruction of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Hong Kong station had cut off their means of replenishing manpower. Furthermore, the Japanese had urgently deployed additional personnel, making Hong Kong Island a rapidly increasing danger for Ye Shaohong and his team.

It would be better to go to Shanghai earlier.

Although Shanghai was still occupied by the Japanese, the situation was different there.

As the largest metropolis and economic center in the Far East during the Republic of China era, the Military Intelligence Bureau deployed a large number of personnel there.

There are sufficient personnel.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Ye Shaohong also possesses a unique force of his own.

Zhuang Yifan, Xu Tian, ​​and Chi Tiecheng were all there.

With these replacements, the nearly wiped-out assassination squad could potentially be reorganized.

This also gave Ye Shaohong the confidence to rearrange the operation.

That's why he made this decision.

However, he did not recount these events, nor did he tell Chen Gongshu, Wang Tianmu, or anyone else.

They were unaware of Ye Shaohong's strength and resources.

After all, they had never been in contact with Ye Shaohong before.

Naturally, they were unaware of the existence of Zhuang Yifan and Xu Tian.

Li Yunlong, who was the only one who knew some of the general situation, also had to strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He would not talk about anything without Ye Shaohong's permission.

And so, they began their new journey.

three days later.

Ye Shaohong and his group arrived in Shanghai safely.

After getting off the deck and walking out of the dock, Ye Shaohong led them directly to Zhuang Yifan's territory.

The situation is different here.

Zhuang Yifan's trusted subordinates were all former subordinates of Ye Shaohong.

They were all veteran members of the Special Service Department who had followed Ye Shaohong to infiltrate Shanghai and carry out demolition missions.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong arrive, one of them immediately went to report to Zhuang Yifan.

Soon, Zhuang Yifan and Xu Tian came out to greet them.

They took Ye Shaohong directly into the Grand World Ballroom.

That's right.

After more than two years of planning and management, Zhuang Yifan's influence in Shanghai is now vastly different from what it used to be.

His headquarters location was also moved.

At this time, the Great World Ballroom was already one of the top three most notorious money-spending dens in the Chinese-controlled area of ​​Shanghai.

In Shanghai's underworld, Zhuang Yifan earned his fearsome reputation as the Third Master Zhuang through his ruthlessness and cruelty.

Few people know that this former favorite student of Zhang Xiaolin, one of the three tycoons of the lake, is actually a serving major in the Military Intelligence Bureau. In order to complete the infiltration mission assigned to him by Ye Shaohong as much as possible, Zhuang Yifan and his group have not participated in any operations in Shanghai for the past two years, except for occasionally completing some tasks personally assigned to them by Ye Shaohong.

Even when the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station was repeatedly destroyed and severely damaged, Dai Yunong did not reactivate them.

In the end.

In reality, Zhuang Yifan's group was just Ye Shaohong's private army.

He was not a direct descendant of Dai Yunong.

Dai Yunong nominally had the right to lead them, but these people always obeyed his orders but never his commands.

Don't find it strange.

Such cases were common within the Nationalist government.

Factions and factions are a prominent feature of the current Nationalist government. The Military Intelligence Bureau is no exception to this rule.

"Brother Seven!"

"I've finally been waiting for you!"

Nearly two years later, Zhuang Yifan was very excited to see Ye Shaohong again.

He will never forget it.

He was once a prisoner in Jinling Prison. It was Ye Shaohong who gave him a chance to live and allowed him to participate in the operation to capture the Japanese devils.

It was from that day on that Zhuang Yifan got on the right track.

Ye Shaohong had shown him great kindness and support.

"Yifan!"

"To be honest, it's been almost two years since we last met. You look quite imposing now."

"Hmm... he does indeed show some signs of being a Shanghai gangster boss." After settling into the manager's office at the Grand World Ballroom, Ye Shaohong smiled and teased Zhuang Yifan with great interest.

"Hey!"

"Isn't this because you gave me a chance, Seventh Brother?"

"Otherwise, how could I, Zhuang Yifan, have achieved what I have today? Seventh Brother, please stop teasing me."

Unlike his interactions with others, Zhuang Yifan is a ruthless and merciless gangster boss when facing others, but in front of Ye Shaohong, Zhuang Yifan remains the same as before.

He looks a bit simple-minded and silly.

I wasn't teasing you.

"I am truly pleased with your achievements today!"

“I was not disappointed!”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Zhuang Yifan, Ye Shaohong turned to look at Xu Tian. "Brother Xu!"

"Thank you for your hard work these past two years."

“I know that Yifan is a bit impulsive and reckless. If you weren’t there to keep an eye on him all the time, he wouldn’t have been able to build such a huge power.”

This is not Ye Shaohong's exaggeration. Who is Xu Tian? He is one of the most intelligent characters in spy dramas.

He is almost comparable to Zheng Yaoxian.

If it weren't for the deep friendship between Ye Shaohong and him, Xu Tian, ​​with his aloof and chrysanthemum-like personality, would never have gotten involved in this underworld vortex of fame and fortune.

"It's all little things."

"Compared to what you've done, what we two have done is just a small fry."

Xu Tian smiled calmly, exuding the air of a scholar.

"No, no, no!" "This is no small matter. If it weren't for you in Shanghai helping me manage this force, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the position of section chief when the Military Intelligence Bureau was established."

"You are the source of my confidence in staying at the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Ye Shaohong expressed his feelings sincerely, for he had already figured these things out long ago.

It's just that it's never been mentioned before.

Or rather, there are very few people who are worthy of his mentioning this matter.

Among the top echelons of the Military Intelligence Bureau, perhaps only absolute leaders like Dai Yunong, Mao Renfeng, Xu Baichuan, and Zheng Yaoxian truly knew Ye Shaohong's potential.

"If that's what you're saying, then I'll admit it."

Xu Tian grinned, seemingly unconcerned.

His indifferent and aloof demeanor remained unchanged, making Ye Shaohong feel extremely awkward. However, he soon felt like teasing him.

Because Ye Shaohong hadn't forgotten that in the spy drama "Red," Xu Tian ended up with an extremely capable wife.

That's Tian Dan.

A pharmacist at Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai.

He is also a highly intelligent individual who is extremely skilled at causing accidental deaths.

Judging from the timeline, they should have met by now. I wonder if his sudden intrusion has changed their fate?
