Chapter 916 Returning Home and New Trouble

After a lot of commotion, Ye Shaohong finally returned home in the evening.

The moment Ye Shaohong stepped through the door, he was met with a barrage of love from his mother.

His ear was grabbed by Ye's mother and spun around hard.

Ye Shaohong cried out in agony.

Of course, it was all an act.

Ye's mother couldn't possibly hurt him that badly, and Ye Shaohong was happy to pretend to be in pain to make his mother happy.

After seeing his mother, Ye Shaohong went directly to the Ye family's inner quarters.

He went to see the old man. In the old man's presence, Ye Shaohong relaxed considerably, and they talked for a long time.

She also recounted her experience of leaving the mountain city.

There was no attempt to conceal anything.

what?

You're saying these things involve state secrets?

Those are all jokes. The old master of the Ye family is a senior member of the National Government. Even if the bald-headed Chairman met him, he would have to take the initiative to talk to him.

These things would be state secrets elsewhere.

It's something that absolutely cannot be told.

But for Old Master Ye, it's nothing. Even if the matter eventually reaches the ears of Dai Yunong and the bald-headed chairman, neither of them will make things difficult for Ye Shaohong.

After Ye Shaohong finished explaining the whole process, the Ye family patriarch fell silent. "What a pity."

"Wang Xizhi, the former rebel, was also a formidable man. He even once attempted to assassinate the regent of the Qing government."

"He also once led the Jiangcheng government."

"During the Central Plains War, the troops he led even defeated the bald-headed Chairman Chiang Kai-shek."

"Who could have imagined that he would actually end up betraying his country and nation, ruining his lifelong reputation?"

The old man was sighing, but Ye Shaohong didn't say anything.

In fact, he understood.

The old man wasn't pitying Wang Ni; he was simply lamenting that as time went by, he knew fewer and fewer people.

They all went their separate ways.

It's not entirely wrong to say that a hero is past his prime.

This perhaps reflects the unique sentiments of soldiers during the warlord era of the Republic of China. And that statement is indeed true.

Take the Beiyang government for example. Those Beiyang warlords fought to the death on the battlefield, wishing they could kill their opponents directly with guns.

They swallowed up their territory and troops.

But the Beiyang warlords also had their own sentiments and their own tacit understandings.

As long as someone fails on the battlefield and is willing to resign by telegram, they will not make things difficult for the other party.

They wouldn't do something as ruthless as exterminating everyone.

They would arrange for people to escort the defeated officials who had resigned by telegram to Tianjin.

From then on, they lived a carefree retirement life.

Surprising, isn't it?

Throughout China's 8,000-year history, we have only ever heard of ruthless extermination to eliminate any future threats. But the warlords and soldiers of the Republic of China during this period were truly unique.

The old man of the Ye family was from that generation.

His feelings in this way are the most normal and correct response.

This is something that even Ye Shaohong knows, but he cannot fully empathize with.

After expressing his feelings, the old man of the Ye family sighed sadly again.

He felt it was truly a pity that Ye Shaohong and his group had failed to kill Wang Ni.

He could foresee that if Wang Jingwei survived, with the support of the Japanese, he would certainly cause considerable harm to the country and the nation.

That's impressive.

Old Master Ye did not have the experience of traveling from the future like Ye Shaohong.

He had already foreseen the future and the ending simply by relying on his life experience.

That's why they say having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

This level of experience and insight is beyond the reach of younger generations like Ye Shaohong.

It can indeed protect and safeguard future generations.

With Wang Ni's matter settled, Ye Shaohong then recounted their experiences after disembarking.

He mentioned that he had been taken away for questioning.

Upon learning of this, the old man became angry for the first time.

He jumped up and down, cursing loudly.

He cursed the Chen brothers as scoundrels, and said their dogs were even worse.

How dare they make things difficult for his precious grandson!

The old man even bluntly told Ye Shaohong in front of him not to see Shuang Chen, and that if he did, he would definitely ask them a lot of questions. Are they blind?

Well, it was only at this point that Ye Shaohong learned that the Ye family patriarch actually had a connection with the Shuang Chen.

But it’s right to think about it.

The Ye family patriarch once served as a bodyguard to the Father of the Nation, and while the Father of the Nation was still alive, the Chen brothers had already occupied high positions within the Nationalist government.

It's perfectly normal for them to know each other.

After recounting everything, Ye Shaohong spent some time in the backyard talking with the old man.

I played two games of chess and drank two pots of tea with the old man.

It wasn't until dusk that the old man finally sent Ye Shaohong away, telling him to go back and see his wife and children.

Because the old man also noticed that as time went by, Ye Shaohong's heart was becoming more and more wild, showing some signs of drifting away.

It would be better to get rid of him quickly. And so, Ye Shaohong returned to his courtyard and met Yu Manli and his beloved eldest son.

Ye Polu.

More than a month later, Ye Shaohong was overjoyed to see his beloved son again.

He held his eldest son in his arms and showered him with affection.

But children of this age have short memories, and after more than a month apart, they were actually a little shy around Ye Shaohong.

In addition, Ye Shaohong hadn't had time to fix his makeup since he came back this time, and his stubble poked the child's pink cheeks, making Ye Polu cry on the spot.

This made Yu Manli both happy and annoyed.

She complained to Ye Shaohong, but Ye Shaohong didn't mind and happily agreed.

Then he took out the gifts he had brought back from Shanghai and placed them in front of Yu Manli.

Upon seeing this, Yu Manli blushed immediately.

Then she glared at Ye Shaohong reproachfully, blaming him for being improper.

What did Ye Shaohong do?

On his trip to Shanghai, he brought back quite a few stockings.

Yes, he had already torn up all that stock.

We've just restocked a bit.

In addition to these, Ye Shaohong also brought back many other things, such as the currently popular French perfumes and silk scarves.

He should cherish his own woman.

Regardless, while he was away on missions, Yu Manli stayed at home to take care of his parents, the elderly, and the children. She deserves credit for that.

That evening, the father and son met and drank some wine together again.

Only then did Ye Shaohong complete his journey home, finally allowing his heart, which had been tense for over a month, to finally find peace.

After nightfall, it was naturally time for married life.

Ye Shaohong put in a lot of effort, and of course, they both enjoyed themselves.

He didn't go to work the next day either.

This time he has been away from home for a long time, busy for more than a month, traveling to many places and experiencing life and death several times. Shouldn't he be allowed to rest?

At the same time, Ye Shaohong had another very important thing to do.

That is to visit and offer condolences to the families of the heroes who died during this operation.

He wanted to personally deliver the compensation money to the families and learn about their circumstances.

If there are any difficulties, he will do his best to help.

This matter really cannot be entrusted to others. The corruption of the Republic of China government at this time is rampant. Ye Shaohong is worried that if this matter is handed over to others, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and exploit him.

If that's the case, how can those fallen heroes leave this world in peace?

Was their sacrifice and effort worthwhile?

Thus, Ye Shaohong, along with Chi Tiecheng and Li Yunlong, were busy for several more days.

It wasn't until a phone call came into the Ye residence, personally inquiring about the matter and mentioning that something major had happened in Manchuria, that Ye Shaohong reluctantly returned to work.

They went directly to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Luojiawan.
