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

Chapter 915 The Big Deal Turned to Small

After Ye Shaohong softened his stance, the rest became much simpler.

Facing the interrogation team composed of the Second Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and the Attendant's Office, Ye Shaohong gave positive answers to almost all subsequent questions.

Of course, this is not the complete answer.

For example, their purpose in going to Shanghai this time was related to the operation to hunt down the traitor Wang Jingwei, which was a highly confidential matter of the Nationalist government. Without the permission of Dai Yunong and his superiors, Ye Shaohong had the authority to refuse to respond.

Even when the interrogators tried to persuade him, Ye Shaohong refused without hesitation.

However, Ye Shaohong did not shy away from the matter of Zheng Pingru. He recounted the difficulties he encountered during the mission.

Then Chi Tiecheng, Su Wenqian, and the Jellyfish Assassination Group were mentioned again.

And the actions they are currently carrying out.

In order to consolidate his manpower, Ye Shaohong decided to temporarily halt the Jellyfish Assassination Group's pursuit of Ding and Li.

But he didn't want to give up so easily.

Then Ye Shaohong remembered the resume he had seen while reviewing the files of Dingmo Village.

Ding Mocun once taught at Guangming Middle School.

Coincidentally, Ye Shaohong had once seen Zheng Pingru in a magazine in Shanghai.

They had also inquired about Zheng Pingru's identity.

Knowing that Zheng Pingru had also studied at Guangming Middle School, they also learned that during her time there, she had been intensely pursued by a male teacher. This person happened to be Ding Mocun.

In response to this situation, Ye Shaohong arranged for "Azalea" Bai Ye to contact Zheng Pingru.

He secretly conveyed to Zheng Pingru the news that Ding Mocun was preparing to betray the country and defect to the enemy.

Using words of enticement, they implied that Zheng Pingru should assassinate Dingmo Village.

This led to Dingmo Village's death.

Everything is traceable, reasonable, and can withstand investigation.

If Zheng Pingru was indeed a spy for the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and Ye Shaohong just happened to choose her, then it could only be described as an unexpected coincidence.

This shows that Ye Shaohong has the ability to make clever plans and has a keen eye for choosing people.

Ye Shaohong had done this kind of thing more than once before. It's something that can be investigated.

Now, with accidents and coincidences coming together, something unpleasant has happened, but you can't blame Ye Shaohong for it.

On the contrary, we should praise Ye Shaohong's abilities.

This is the fact.

No matter where this lawsuit goes in the end, Ye Shaohong only has this one answer.

It's no use who comes.

After learning the truth from Ye Shaohong, the investigators from the Second Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and the Attendant's Office were stunned.

Is that really the case?

coincidence.

It's one thing to be a coincidence, but how can Ye Shaohong be so shameless?

What was clearly a significant problem was portrayed as a success by Ye Shaohong. Fine.

In fact, if you look closely, it really was Ye Shaohong's doing.

Before arranging the operation, Ye Shaohong did send a telegram to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Chongqing, which was then filed with Dai Yunong.

The original telegram is still preserved in the archives of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The fact that Dai Yunong went to the bald-headed chairman to ask for credit and rewards is also one of the conclusive pieces of evidence.

Regardless of whether Xu Enzeng saw it or not, the bald-headed Chairman also saw it.

That's the advantage they have, and they really can't find fault with it.

At the same time, they also learned from Ye Shaohong's account that Ye Shaohong had never had any contact with Zheng Pingru before.

He went to Shanghai twice, but didn't stay for long. He didn't have much chance of confirming information about Zheng Pingru, who was a member of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS).

In the archives of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in the mountain city, as well as in the archives of the Second Bureau and the Attendant's Office of the Ministry of National Defense, there are indeed records of Zheng Pingru.

But we can't investigate this matter too deeply.

If we really investigate this thoroughly, wouldn't it mean that all three parties involved could have had their intelligence leaked?

Wouldn't that just cause trouble for yourself and your superiors?

They cannot bear this responsibility.

Since they couldn't afford it, they had no choice but to listen to Ye Shaohong's explanation. Although the explanation seemed a bit far-fetched and coincidental, it was the best outcome they could hope for.

"very good!"

"Thank you for your help, Director Ye. We will arrange for someone to verify the information you provided."

"We'll have to trouble you again. Please bear with us for a few more days." "Once we have confirmation, we'll come over as soon as possible to see you off, Director Ye."

Having gotten the answers they wanted, the interrogators were no longer willing to waste time.

They also had some headaches.

They really didn't have a good way to deal with Ye Shaohong, who was uncompromising and wouldn't listen to reason.

We'd be better off focusing on addressing the issues Ye Shaohong raised.

And so, they left.

For the next two days, Ye Shaohong stayed in the villa and no one came to disturb him.

It's as if they've been forgotten.

This greatly displeased Ye Shaohong.

He harbored a great deal of resentment towards Dai Yunong, in particular.

At least Ye Shaohong wasn't leaving the mountain city on a mission. The consecutive operations in Hanoi, Hong Kong, and Shanghai were all close calls, teetering on the brink of life and death.

Now, things have turned out this way. He made a contribution, but instead of receiving the reward he deserved, he has become a prisoner. Dai Yunong, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau and Ye Shaohong's nominal superior, doesn't care at all and doesn't even come to comfort him.

They really have no sense of responsibility whatsoever.

"Hey!"

"No wonder you ended up with such a tragic fate."

While muttering to himself, Ye Shaohong remained calm and patiently rested in the villa.

Noon on the third day.

Officials from the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense and the Attendant's Office, who had previously interrogated Ye Shaohong, arrived, bringing with them Ye Shaohong's release order.

It was personally signed by the Chairman. At the same time, feeling that Ye Shaohong had been wronged this time, the Chairman also specially awarded him a Second Class Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun.

Along with the food, there were also ten large yellow croakers.

This was meant to comfort Ye Shaohong.

To be honest, these rewards are not much and are not enough to compare with the merits Ye Shaohong has made.

But there's nothing he can do. Ye Shaohong's position within the Military Intelligence Bureau has reached its limit; he can't rise any higher.

If he gets promoted any further, he will take over Mao Renfeng's position as the head of the secretariat.

Or perhaps the position of deputy director.

But he's too young, only in his early twenties. If we were to promote him like this, not to mention whether the staff of the various agencies of the Nationalist government would be convinced, Dai Yunong and Mao Renfeng certainly wouldn't agree.

Therefore, all that could be done was to give him these empty rewards. Ye Shaohong understood this, so he didn't delve too deeply into it. He then exchanged a few more words with the officials from the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense and the Attendant's Office.

Ye Shaohong was relieved after confirming that Chi Tiecheng, Su Wenqian, Li Yunlong, Li Yunfei, and the members of his Jellyfish Assassination Group had all been released and returned home.

He then made a phone call that got him into the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Luojiawan.

He called over his personal driver, Du Yu.

Having taken the gifts that Zhuang Yifan had specially asked him to buy before leaving Shanghai, Ye Shaohong couldn't wait to go home.

He missed his grandfather, his parents, Yu Manli, and his beloved son.

"go home!"
