Chapter 232 What is Zheng Yaoxian plotting?
As soon as Ye Shaohong came out of the interrogation room, his eyes narrowed immediately.
Ye Shaohong believed that Jin'er was not lying to him.
Besides the fact that people tend to speak kindly when they are about to die, more importantly, the hidden methods that Jin'er revealed were impossible to fake.
Once we capture Wu Pei, we can get the answer immediately with a little verification.
Even so, this matter is not easy to handle.
A military officer at the deputy section chief level.
Within the entire Secret Service, there were only about twenty such individuals, each with extensive experience and seniority. Similarly, behind each of them stood several powerful figures.
Given Ye Shaohong's current position and status, it's far from enough to make a move against him; even Zheng Yaoxian would be powerless to do so.
"It seems we have no choice but to go find Xu Baichuan."
Once he made up his mind, Ye Shaohong stopped overthinking. It was already midnight, and even if he wanted to contact Xu Baichuan, he couldn't do it.
Everything can only be decided tomorrow.
After leaving the underground cell, Ye Shaohong went to Yu Manli's room. Looking at her peacefully sleeping face, a smile finally appeared on Ye Shaohong's face.
He did not wake Yu Manli.
She carefully walked to Yu Manli's side and lay down fully clothed.
...the next morning.
Ye Shaohong was still fast asleep when the noise beside him startled him awake.
The moment Ye Shaohong looked up, he saw a familiar face.
It was Yu Manli.
A smile played on her lips as she turned her head to the side, secretly watching him. The noise she had just made was simply Yu Manli turning around.
"woke up?"
"Was I making too much noise? It's still early, why don't you go back to sleep?"
Their eyes met, and Yu Manli, caught red-handed spying, couldn't help but blush, showing a rare hint of shyness.
Ye Shaohong smiled, raised his hand, ruffled Yu Manli's hair, and then sat up. "I'm not going to sleep."
"There are still many things to take care of today."
“Manli, we can’t go back to the little courtyard we rented now, so you can stay here for the next couple of days.”
"If you need anything, you can ask someone to call me."
After a brief conversation, Ye Shaohong got up, dressed, and washed up before leaving his dormitory and heading to the office building.
First, Ye Shaohong knocked on Zheng Yaoxian's office, but found that Zheng Yaoxian had not yet come to work, so he went to his own room.
After reviewing the events of the past two days in his mind and carefully recalling the sequence of events to ensure there were no oversights, Ye Shaohong got up and went to Xu Baichuan's office.
Fortunately, Xu Baichuan has already arrived.
Upon meeting Xu Baichuan, Ye Shaohong didn't mince words and immediately recounted everything that had happened the previous night, including the battle in Gulou Street and what had transpired in the courtyard he rented.
Finally, Ye Shaohong recounted the interrogation of Jin'er, which led to the discovery of Wu Pei, a spy planted by the Party Affairs Investigation Department within the Special Service Department.
After listening to Ye Shaohong's story, Xu Baichuan only asked one question.
"Confirm?"
Ye Shaohong nodded.
After receiving a positive reply, Xu Baichuan didn't say another word. He immediately picked up the phone on the table and called Mao Renfeng.
"Secretary Mao, has the Director arrived?"
"I have something important to report to him!"
Mao Renfeng recognized Xu Baichuan's voice, and he dared not ignore his identity, so he didn't hesitate and told the truth directly. "It's Director Xu. He just arrived and is having breakfast now."
"Oh, I see. Then wait a moment and I'll go over there. Secretary Mao, please tell the director for me."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Baichuan thought for a moment and then called Zheng Yaoxian's office. Coincidentally, Zheng Yaoxian happened to be knocking on the door at that moment.
When Xu Baichuan saw Zheng Yaoxian step in, carrying shumai, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, he put down the telephone.
"You've come at the right time; I was just about to look for you."
"Sit down first, let Shao Hong tell you the specific situation, and you can help us make a decision."
After their experience of eating apples together in the Shanghai sewers, Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian had become sworn brothers. So, he didn't hide many things from Zheng Yaoxian and directly asked Ye Shaohong to recount the events he had just reported.
While Ye Shaohong was speaking, he was also secretly observing Zheng Yaoxian. He had never forgotten that Zheng Yaoxian had deliberately made him delay taking action for a day.
So much happened that day.
His identity was exposed, and the Party Affairs Investigation Department arrested Yu Manli at his home and set a trap for her.
Ye Shaohong knew that Zheng Yaoxian must have his reasons for doing this.
They must have planned and arranged some things as well.
Even though he knew it, Ye Shaohong was still somewhat dissatisfied.
Of course, it was just dissatisfaction.
After all, because of Zheng Yaoxian, both he and Yu Manli had been on the verge of death, but Ye Shaohong was still willing to believe in Zheng Yaoxian.
Therefore, when reporting to Xu Baichuan, he deliberately concealed the fact that Zheng Yaoxian had asked him to delay for a day.
Now, as the story is recounted, upon hearing Ye Shaohong say that he and Yu Manli almost died because of that day, Zheng Yaoxian's face immediately showed astonishment.
There was also a look of guilt.
He looked at Ye Shaohong, wanting to speak, but just then saw Ye Shaohong shake his head at him.
Zheng Yaoxian's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
When Zheng Yaoxian heard Ye Shaohong say that he had tracked down the spy planted by the Party Affairs Investigation Department within the Special Service Department, and that this spy had even betrayed Ye Shaohong's identity, a strong murderous intent immediately flashed in his eyes.
"Wu Pei!"
"He deserves to die!"
"Director, take Shao Hong to report to the Chairman. I'll take men to arrest that bastard Wu Pei right away!"
"This time I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" Ye Shaohong was personally brought into the Special Service Department by Zheng Yaoxian, and was a junior he had high hopes for. But now, because of him, Ye Shaohong's life was almost lost.
Although Ye Shaohong had just expressed his attitude to him, Zheng Yaoxian still felt guilty.
So Zheng Yaoxian was furious after hearing about Wu Pei's situation.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and offered to personally lead the team to capture the traitor who dared to betray Ye Shaohong.
This should be considered Zheng Yaoxian's reply to Ye Shaohong.
Ye Shaohong understood this principle, and he could roughly guess some of what Zheng Yaoxian had done, but it was inconvenient to say it now. If there was an opportunity in the future, he could talk to Zheng Yaoxian about it.
Right now, the most important thing is revenge!
Wu Pei must die. Even if Zheng Yaoxian doesn't step forward today, Ye Shaohong has already figured out how to deal with him.
So Ye Shaohong didn't refuse, but stood up.
"Section Chief, I know you're angry, but you must keep Wu Pei for me."
"He dared to betray me, so he'll pay the price!"
