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

Chapter 932 Turmoil

That night, the mountain town remained as peaceful as ever.

Few people know that behind this silence lies a hidden slaughter and bloodshed.

Ye Shaohong's order and note sent the entire intelligence system of the mountain city into an uproar.

Three officers, a section chief and a deputy section chief, from the Military Intelligence Bureau either mysteriously disappeared or died on the street.

The strangest thing is that despite such a major incident, there was no reaction from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

It's as if those few people weren't even members of their group.

Dai Yunong went home early. Mao Renfeng, unusually, didn't work overtime at the bureau headquarters, but instead took a group to a wealthy businessman's dinner party.

Most of the officers in the 10th Division and 3rd Office of the Military Intelligence Bureau did not make any response.

Bizarre.

It was truly bizarre to the extreme.

The Military Intelligence Bureau was quiet as water, but the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was a completely different story.

That night.

The news had barely reached the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics when someone reported it to Xu Enzeng.

He was stunned on the spot.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Xu Enzeng's mouth muscles twitched immediately.

"Great, very good!"

"I, Xu Enzeng, am ashamed of my own lack of such decisiveness."

"Dai Yunong, you're ruthless!"

After muttering to himself, Xu Enzeng seemed to remember something else.

He was startled.

She immediately hung up the phone, got up from the bed, and headed straight for the clothes rack.

On the bed lay a still-attractive and beautiful young woman.

Seeing Xu Enzeng's anxious expression, the beautiful young woman frowned slightly and gave a disgruntled snort.

"Darling!"

"Where are you going so late?"

"Don't worry!"

Xu Enzeng snorted coldly without turning his head, put on his pants, grabbed his coat, and walked out.

"Hmph!" "Fine, I won't care then. Do you think I want to pay attention to you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the beautiful young woman's eyes darted around, and a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face again.

The young woman raised her slender, jade-like arm and placed it on the telephone on the table, then dialed the number directly.

"Little wolfhound!"

"Come here quickly, I missed you, sister..."

"You mean him? Don't worry, he just got a call saying he has urgent business to attend to and won't be back tonight!"

……

In a residential house in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, a mountain city.

As soon as Zhao Pingzhi hung up the phone, his brows furrowed immediately.

"It's so late, what's Xu Enzeng so eager to do back at headquarters?" "Is there some kind of operation?"

Confused, Zhao Pingzhi didn't dare to delay and immediately dressed and went out.

He soon arrived at the door of a grocery store.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it? We're already closed for the day. Let's talk tomorrow..."

"Old Cui, it's me, open the door!"

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face, wearing a coarse cloth coat, came out.

"Pingzhi."

"It's so late, why are you here?"

"Go in and talk!"

Zhao Pingzhi glanced around to make sure no one was on the street, then quickly stepped out and into the general store. Old Cui, though puzzled, didn't stop him.

After the two entered the house together and closed the door again, Old Cui then placed the oil lamp he was dragging on the tea table.

"Go ahead."

"What happened that made you come all this way so late?"

"Something did happen, but... I don't know exactly what happened."

"Ok?"

"Tell me more about it..."

"Here's what happened. Just now, I received a call from Xiao Si. The martial arts actor in their opera troupe has secretly gone out again."

"Based on past experience, he should have gone to see Xu Enzeng's fourth concubine."

"But something's not right." "When I got off work tonight, I clearly saw Xu Enzeng take a car back and go to Fourth Concubine's courtyard!"

"He'll probably stay there for the night."

"It's the middle of the night now, and Xu Enzeng's fourth concubine has called the opera troupe, asking the martial arts actor to come over. I suspect..."

"You mean?"

"Hmm... Old Cui, do you think Xu Enzeng has something planned?"

The room fell silent instantly.

Old Cui didn't rush to reply. Instead, he frowned and pondered his recent activities under the dim, flickering light.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head.

"impossible!"

"Recently, due to the Japanese bombing of the mountain city, our operations have been temporarily suspended."

"The team members have also entered a deep state of silence. "Nothing should happen."

Upon hearing Lao Cui's answer, Zhao Pingzhi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that it has nothing to do with us, then I can rest assured."

"It's getting late, you should rest, I should go back too."

"and many more!"

“Pingzhi, although we have been silently awaiting orders recently, we cannot be negligent or complacent.”

"Since you are infiltrating the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), you must keep a close eye on the changes in the CBIS situation."

“Xu Enzeng is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. His sudden return to headquarters late at night must mean he has something very important to deal with. You should keep an eye on this matter secretly.”

"If there is any news, notify me immediately!"

"Okay, I understand."

Luojiawan, a mountain town.

In an ordinary house not far from the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, a man sat on the sofa, holding a glass of foreign liquor in one hand, and frowning in thought.

"strangeness!"

Why would Ye Shaohong suddenly target the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?

"Could it be that all my feelings have been wrong all this time? Have they not been investigating me?"

As he muttered to himself, the middle-aged man slowly swirled the Western-style liquor glass in his hand. The pale yellow rum in the glass clung to the glass and then slid off as the glass spun.

Suddenly, the man put down his glass and stood up.

He strode into the depths of the room, opened a concealed panel on one side of the liquor cabinet, and took out a woven rattan box from a hidden compartment. Opening the box revealed two pistols, a dozen or so gold bars of varying sizes, and scattered US dollars, pounds, yen, and silver dollars.

The man's hand first gently brushed over the gold bars, US dollars, British pounds, Japanese yen, and silver dollars.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he reached out and picked up the guns that were placed on top.

After thinking for a moment, he took out three gold bars—one large and two small—from the wicker box and stuffed them into his pocket.

"In any case, this is an opportunity."

"I have to give it a try!"

After speaking softly, the man restored the wine cabinet to its original state and then went to the kitchen in the courtyard.

He opened the ventilation window in the back kitchen and carefully climbed over.

It quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night...
