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

Chapter 939 Bad Luck

After a period of random thoughts, Ye Shaohong finally got down to work.

I started dealing with the files that had piled up after I got home yesterday.

This busy work lasted for more than an hour.

After all the documents were approved and handed over to Xu Zhongyi for forwarding, Ye Shaohong finally picked up the phone on the table.

He dialed Li Yunlong's number.

He wanted to hear how Huang Silang's interrogation had gone.

Could it be that Kwantung Army spy who was hiding there?

However, when Ye Shaohong made the call, he couldn't find any trace of Li Yunlong.

This puzzled Ye Shaohong greatly. What was going on?

It's just interrogating a suspicious target. With Li Yunlong's abilities honed over the years, does it really need to take this long?

Ye Shaohong was somewhat dissatisfied.

He told Li Yunlong's subordinates over the phone to find Li Yunlong as soon as possible.

Tell him to come over and report the latest situation to me as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong was still a little angry, but then he thought that this matter was not really Li Yunlong's fault.

Who told the Japanese to bomb the mountain city last night?

Perhaps they were also delayed.

After finding an explanation for himself, Ye Shaohong went on to handle other work.

He wanted to investigate the positions of personnel at various stations in the occupied area, and based on their merits and mistakes, he decided to reward and promote some of them.

Or it may have been downgraded.

These matters actually fall under the jurisdiction of Ye Shaohong, the director of the external office.

Without this authority, it would be impossible to control the personnel in the various occupied areas and to inspire awe in them.

There's a saying that our ancestors had right.

In the Chinese bureaucracy, possessing three powers is tantamount to controlling everything.

Army, money and provisions, official positions.

The first two items were not something Dai Yunong could distribute; they were controlled by his trusted subordinates.

Even regarding the power of official positions, Ye Shaohong only had the right to make suggestions.

After the review, he still needs to seek Dai Yunong's approval.

Finally, it must be reported to the Second Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense. However, this procedure is sufficient; it is enough to let the agents in various occupied areas know about Ye Shaohong's authority.

They revered and feared him.

This review and verification process took another hour.

Just as time was passing and it was approaching noon, there was a knock on his office door.

The one who walked in was Xu Zhongyi.

This guy still can't shake his old sleazy habits. He clearly has the handsome face of Brother Sha in his youth, but he still has a cunning air about him.

Peeking in, Xu Zhongyi saw Ye Shaohong engrossed in his work and quickly and cautiously entered.

"Seventh Brother."

"One of Section Chief Li's men is here; it seems he wants to report to you again!"

"Hmm?" "What is it? Didn't you ask him?"

"I asked him, but he wouldn't say. He said it was a big deal and he could only report it to you!"

Xu Zhongyi felt quite aggrieved. He was Ye Shaohong's full-time secretary, but there were very few people in the entire outpost who were afraid of him.

More people will treat him as a buddy.

It simply lacks any imposing presence.

"That's it!"

Ye Shaohong put down the pen he was holding and tapped the table lightly with his finger before responding.

"Then let him in."

"I can give him five minutes!"

"it is good!"

"I'll go out and call her right now!"

Xu Zhongyi grinned, turned and left. Then, a female officer with a gentle and lovely appearance, somewhat like a cute girl, pushed open the door and walked in.

Good guy.

Ye Shaohong was stunned by the female officer's curvaceous figure and innocent, naive appearance.

Do they have such high-quality items in their external locations?

How did it end up in Li Yunlong's hands?

Logically speaking, Li Yunlong's aesthetic preferences shouldn't be like this. Isn't his ideal woman Li Yunxin, that girl from the alley?

Oh……

By the way, in old Beijing, she should be called "Sa Mi'er".

Did Li Yunlong's aesthetic attitude change after Li Yunxin's death?

Isn't it said that as men get older, they become more and more attracted to mature and alluring women?

That is, mature women and young married women.

Why is it that when it comes to Li Yunlong, things are going backwards? Ye Shaohong wondered, but he didn't ask. He just scrutinized the person in front of him with a strange expression and a critical look.

Perhaps his gaze was too intense.

The brief, fleeting scrutiny caused the naive young woman who had just entered to blush instantly.

"Seventh...Seventh Brother!"

"Hey!"

Ye Shaohong's response was instinctive.

The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them. What was he thinking? This wasn't flirting; his one word could easily be misunderstood.

The same is true.

Hearing Ye Shaohong's practiced words and seeing the faint smile on his lips, the naive girl who had just entered lowered her head in embarrassment. She looked as if she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Ye Shaohong was also quite embarrassed.

He stopped what he was doing, picked up the teacup from the table, and took a small sip.

This is used to cover up one's somewhat chaotic state of mind.

I finally calmed down.

"Go ahead."

"Why did you specifically request to see me? What happened?"

"ah……."

The naive girl clearly didn't have Ye Shaohong's thick skin; at this moment, she hadn't recovered yet.

She looked up and glanced at Ye Shaohong.

Seeing the smile disappear from Ye Shaohong's face and his demeanor reveal a hint of majesty and domineering aura, the naive girl hurriedly steadied herself.

"Yes...that's how it is." "We just got in touch with Section Chief Li, but something happened to him, and I'm afraid...I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to see you for the time being."

"So...that's why I came here to give you some feedback!"

There's nothing I can do.

The naive girl had only just calmed down; no matter how much he talked, he still hadn't gotten to the specifics.

After that embarrassing incident, Ye Shaohong couldn't very well threaten or reprimand her.

I just patiently persuaded them.

"Tell me more specifically!"

"Oh!"

"That's right, last night, Section Chief Li took some people out for some reason."

"The Japanese just happened to bomb the mountain city again."

"They were unlucky; an aerial bomb happened to fall right next to where they were staying, destroying the room next door and killing the homeowner."

"The house beams also collapsed; the two houses shared a single beam, and then they were buried in the rubble by the collapsed buildings."

"They were only discovered this morning, and when they were found, they were all unconscious."

"After being taken to the hospital by passersby, they were resuscitated and just woke up. That's when they contacted headquarters. They also heard that you wanted to see him, so Section Chief Li sent a message back to inform me of the matter and asked me to come here specifically to explain to you, Brother Qi!"

After listening to the bewildered girl's account, Ye Shaohong was also a little confused.

What's going on?

Is this just a coincidence, or is it just bad luck?

etc…….

If Li Yunlong and the others were unconscious, what about Huang Silang? Did he take this opportunity to escape?

No, this matter is too big; Ye Shaohong must go and see it in person.
