Chapter 406 Brotherhood
Has the Saxon family and the Japanese made peace?
Ye Shaohong was not surprised by this news, as his power was different from others.
If people become enemies, they can either never speak to each other again, or they can secretly accumulate power and settle scores decades later.
Powerful groups are different.
Cooperation and confrontation often occur simultaneously.
The Japanese are a nation.
Although the Saxon family were individuals, their businesses were so vast, spanning across Asia, that it was impossible for them to completely break with a nation. After a brief standoff, a ruthless compromise became the final choice.
Ye Shaohong had already anticipated this.
What surprised Xu Tian when he recounted the information about the exit was the last two seemingly ordinary little things.
the first thing.
The Japanese battleship Izumo had already been sunk, but Sakai Mieko, who was on board, miraculously escaped again.
She also took the opportunity to become the new head of the Special Higher Police Section of the Japanese Military Police.
Knew it.
In spy dramas, every character who leaves their mark, whether a protagonist or a supporting character, is very difficult to kill.
Even if the people who take action are the main characters from a spy drama, the necessary confrontation will still exist.
In a life-or-death predicament, Mieko Sakai only paid the price of disfigurement before surviving unscathed.
This served as another wake-up call for Ye Shaohong.
It also taught him a lesson.
In the future, we must be more careful and cautious in our actions, especially when dealing with the main and supporting characters in various spy dramas.
We must devote our utmost effort and treat this matter with utmost care.
but.
The story of Mieko Sakai is not too shocking.
What truly shocked Ye Shaohong was Zhuang Yifan's rapid rise to power.
More than ten days ago.
Zhuang Yifan had just received his orders to infiltrate Shanghai's underworld and seek an opportunity to join Zhang Xiaolin's ranks.
How long has he been in power?
They seized the opportunity once again and rose rapidly in the turbulent city of Shanghai. It's truly astonishing.
No wonder some people call Shanghai a land of heroes, a stage for powerful figures, and a magical city.
Thinking about the subsequent changes, Ye Shaohong remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Overall, the situation is still quite good for him.
Zhuang Yifan opened up a whole new world for him, giving him a much broader stage.
Next, what he had to do became much simpler.
He intended to use this power, various channels, and personnel to acquire large amounts of real estate in the British, French, and Japanese concessions and the International Settlement in Shanghai.
It's time to start preparing for a deeper infiltration in the future.
As for the Chinese-controlled areas...
It wasn't that Ye Shaohong looked down on it, but rather that there was no need to set up any more pawns there. In a little over ten days, the Nationalist army would once again set foot on this land.
The Second Battle of Shanghai would then break out.
The Chinese-controlled area is now inevitably engulfed in war, and after the battle ends, those towering buildings will be destroyed in the flames.
By the time.
Countless people and enormous amounts of money will flock to the British, French, and Japanese concessions and the International Settlement.
Predictably so.
Property prices in Britain, France, Japan, and the International Settlement are all expected to surge.
These short twenty-odd days before the outbreak of the great war were the last chance that God had given him.
If he cannot properly resolve the lurking housing property issues during this period, then the money he obtained by kidnapping and extorting the Sa Xun family will be meaningless. Ye Shaohong had many thoughts on this.
On the surface, however, nothing was revealed.
But Xu Tian is very clever, and his senses are extremely sharp. Moreover, the two of them are sitting face to face.
He frowned, but finally voiced his doubts.
"What are you thinking?"
"Could they be plotting against me again?"
Xu Tian's question brought Ye Shaohong back to his senses. He raised his head, looked at Xu Tian's solemn and scrutinizing face, and slowly shook his head.
"What are you thinking? We're brothers."
"Humph."
“In this day and age, brothers are just for betraying each other. One moment you’re calling each other brothers, the next you’ll stab them in the back. How often do we see this?” Xu Tian held a wine glass in one hand and glanced at Ye Shaohong with his head turned to the side. He wasn’t in a hurry to eat the pig’s head meat on the table.
“Our relationship is different from theirs.”
"Besides brotherhood, there is also national righteousness!"
Ye Shaohong wouldn't respond to Xu Tian's words; if he did, he would be led by the nose by Xu Tian.
So he gave only a vague answer.
"The greater good?"
"What I fear most is your sense of righteousness."
"If the benefits are right, would you consider our relationship and not betray me?"
Xu Tian smiled coldly, but did not continue to make things difficult for Ye Shaohong. Instead, he tilted his head back, drank the wine in his glass, and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
Seeing this scene, Ye Shaohong suddenly thought of Wang Tianfeng.
Yes.
He was different from others. He was a professional agent trained by the state, and his way of thinking was different from that of ordinary people.
If that day really comes, what choice will he make?
Will he, like Wang Tianfeng, sacrifice his friends, students, and family without hesitation?
Even sacrificing oneself?
When Ye Shaohong was in Nanjing, he declined Wang Tianfeng's offer out of caution.
What if it were him?
perhaps…….
Ye Shaohong himself could not make an accurate judgment.
Fortunately, Xu Tian was also an extremely calm person. Even though he had seen through Ye Shaohong's thoughts, he did not expose his ideas on the spot.
They didn't get up and leave immediately.
He remained seated in front of Ye Shaohong, silently drinking and eating meat.
Xu Tian has already made his stance clear.
Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong felt a bit guilty towards Xu Tian. After some thought, he finally decided to reveal some information to Xu Tian.
"I remember your family owned some ancestral property in the French Concession, didn't we?"
"Let's sell it when we have the chance."
"Then change your name, change your location, and start a new life."
Ye Shaohong is an exception today.
If he hadn't had a premonition, he would never have said those words today, indirectly warning Xu Tian.
Ye Shaohong believed that with Xu Tian's intelligence, he would be able to discern many problems from his words. As for whether he was willing to listen or whether he could listen...
Ye Shaohong decided to leave it at that. He had already fulfilled his duty as a friend.
If, under these circumstances, Xu Tian still cannot escape his predetermined fate and still comes into contact with Kageyama Masaki, then it is only his own choice.
After saying that, Ye Shaohong didn't say another word. He picked up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back and drank it down, then got up and walked towards the door.
"gone."
"I've been very busy lately, so I won't be able to come see you."
"As for whether we will meet again in the future, that depends on fate and destiny..."
