Chapter 440 A Painful Decision
With Gao Han relaying the message, Ye Shaohong felt relieved.
After exchanging intelligence and finalizing the details of the operation over the phone, Ye Shaohong chatted with Gao Han for a few more minutes before hanging up.
By this time, he had finished his brunch. With some time to go before nightfall, Xu Tian was keeping a close eye on the information from the high-ranking officials of Britain, the United States, France, Japan, and Italy. Ye Shaohong, who was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, got dressed and went downstairs.
He walked slowly forward, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the Zhabei warehouse district.
Weaving through the crowded and busy flow of people and vehicles, listening to the orderly shouts of the porters, Ye Shaohong's smile grew even brighter.
Then, he spotted Xiao Zhengguo in the crowd.
Xiao Zhengguo was chatting with two drivers.
He didn't notice Ye Shaohong either. Seeing this, Ye Shaohong naturally didn't bother him, but instead slowly walked over.
Xiao Zhengguo only noticed him when he got closer.
"Young Master Ke... Third Young Master."
"You're a rare guest! I haven't seen you in a while. What brings you here today?"
It has to be said that people are actually quite similar. In this world, there are indeed people with extraordinary talents, but most people are just ordinary.
Ordinary people also have the opportunity to rise up.
If they are provided with a suitable environment and good opportunities for training, ordinary people can gradually grow and develop under the influence of the times. There are many such examples.
In ancient times, many great generals and famous ministers rose from humble beginnings. Driven by the circumstances, they gradually grew into outstanding figures of their generation.
Xiao Zhengguo was not an outstanding person.
But after this period of study, and with Ye Shaohong's willingness to provide him with a learning space and stage, Xiao Zhengguo has gradually shed his appearance from the TV series.
He is no longer that naive and unlucky guy; he has begun to grow into a qualified espionage worker.
Just like now.
When Xiao Zhengguo first met Ye Shaohong, he originally wanted to address Ye Shaohong by his official title, but as soon as he spoke, he realized that the current environment was not right and there were outsiders around. Xiao Zhengguo was quick to make a change of mind.
He also found a suitable reason for himself.
Even his relationship with Ye Shaohong was described as neither too close nor too distant.
Ye Shaohong was very satisfied with this change.
after all.
Xiao Zhengguo has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. He is Ye Shaohong's double and has faced danger several times in Ye Shaohong's place. Ye Shaohong doesn't want to see him die in a muddle.
"Well, I had nothing to do today, so I came out for a stroll and happened to walk by here. When I saw you, I came over to talk to you."
"Mr. Zhang, may your business prosper!"
"Looks like they've struck it rich."
The "Boss Zhang" that Ye Shaohong mentioned was, of course, Xiao Zhengguo's hidden identity, and the word "get rich" he used was to inquire about the current progress of the delivery.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"It's just enough to make a living, but for now it seems alright."
Xiao Zhengguo chuckled, then turned to look at the two drivers.
"Master Zhou, Master Wang, I have guests here, so I won't keep you company with our chat."
"You guys go ahead with your work."
"After we finish these tasks, I will host a special banquet for you two. I hope you will continue to work hard."
Their conversation was not kept secret from the two drivers, who had already discerned the relationship between them. Now, hearing Xiao Zhengguo's refusal, the two drivers didn't press the matter further, casually responding with a few words before turning and leaving together.
Then Xiao Zhengguo led Ye Shaohong into the Zhabei warehouse district.
Finally, we arrived at the dispatch room.
In the dispatch room, Ye Shaohong saw Chi Tiecheng on duty, and a water-powered sniper rifle placed at Chi Tiecheng's feet.
"Third Young Master!" Chi Tiecheng was more talented than Xiao Zhengguo. When he saw Ye Shaohong, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately addressed Ye Shaohong by his hidden identity.
"Well, hard work."
"Tell me about the current situation here. How long will it take before we can move all the military equipment and supplies we selected in advance?"
This was Ye Shaohong's true purpose in coming here.
Only by grasping the situation on the front lines could Ye Shaohong better control the overall situation and make corresponding arrangements.
"Originally, we had no chance to move the military equipment and supplies stored in the Zhabei warehouse area away."
"However, this problem has already been solved by you, Section Chief."
“Since the Ming family’s convoy and loading and unloading personnel joined in, our speed of action has doubled. Judging from the current transportation efficiency, we should be able to transport the goods in this warehouse area in two days at most.” As the person in charge of the Zhabei warehouse area, Xiao Zhengguo had the most comprehensive data and information, so he was the one to respond and answer.
"Two days?"
"Even if the Ming family gets involved, will it still take two days?"
Xiao Zhengguo was optimistic, but Ye Shaohong was different. As the planner who controlled the overall situation, he had much more information than Xiao Zhengguo.
Although the current situation looks better than when the plan was first formulated, many unknown forces have taken advantage of the chaos to get involved.
Amidst the chaos in Shanghai, they sought to secure their own interests.
This stirred up the stagnant waters, diverting the attention of Britain, the United States, France, Japan, Italy, and various interest groups.
But we shouldn't underestimate others.
No one can guarantee that such a large volume of shipments won't attract attention.
Perhaps there is a clever person who happens to notice this place.
If this situation were to occur, Ye Shaohong would have no choice but to activate the final emergency plan and have them evacuate.
"No."
"Greed is a great taboo in life. Although I also want to move all the goods here, we don't have much time left."
"Let's stick to the original plan."
"At midnight tomorrow, you must immediately arrange for all personnel to evacuate."
"There can be no delay, do you hear me?"
After thinking it over, Ye Shaohong reluctantly gave up the benefits that were about to be in his hands. He wanted to make a greater contribution to the country and the nation, and he also wanted to gain more credit from Dai Yunong and the Chairman.
But Ye Shaohong did not forget the purpose of their infiltration into Shanghai.
There are still arduous tasks ahead.
He still has to make a choice about which is more important.
"Ok."
"I'll do as the section chief says."
"By the way, Section Chief, have you heard? The headquarters in Jinling City has already arranged for people to come and meet us."
"Guess who's in charge of the backup this time?"
"It's Section Chief Zheng Yaoxian!"
