Chapter 220 The Night Before the Storm
Li Yunlong is gone.
He left with a heart full of doubts.
It was clear that he became much more reserved when he left the office.
That was a manifestation of inner fear.
Ye Shaohong saw it but didn't say anything. Only after Li Yunlong left did he pick up the phone from the table and dial Zhuang Yifan's number.
"Yifan, how is Chi Tiecheng doing now?"
"Team leader, Tie Cheng is in good shape. After that operation, he returned to the training area and immediately threw himself into training." "From what he said, it seems he has mastered a few more assassination techniques."
Mentioning this, Zhuang Yifan felt a pang of sadness. He truly hadn't expected that there were such exceptionally talented people in the world.
In a one-on-one fight, Zhuang Yifan, with his superior physical abilities and over ten years of rigorous training in Bajiquan, was confident he could defeat Chi Tiecheng.
In terms of killing and assassination, Zhuang Yifan felt that even if he had eight more brains, he would still be no match for Chi Tiecheng.
"Have you mastered a few more assassination techniques?"
"Iron City has quite the talent."
Isn't that normal? Chi Tiecheng is the leader of the Jellyfish Assassination Group in later generations. He and Su Wenqian were amazing people during the War of Resistance Against Japan who could create the amazing skill of bullets deflecting and turning, and shattering bulletproof glass with a series of impacts.
Their combined reputation even terrified high-ranking Japanese officials, as well as Japanese collaborators and spies.
Therefore, Ye Shaohong was not surprised at all by all of this.
After a brief moment of reflection, Ye Shaohong asked Zhuang Yifan if any strange individuals had appeared near the training area in the past two days.
After receiving confirmation that everything was safe and sound, Ye Shaohong smiled with satisfaction.
"very good."
"Yifan, go find Tiecheng later and tell him that a new mission has arrived."
"This time I need you to go and meet someone."
"There is only one requirement for the mission: to bring him out alive when his operation fails and he is hunted down by the Party Affairs Investigation Department."
That's right, Ye Shaohong is going to trick Xiao Zhengguo again this time.
This can be seen from the tasks he assigned to Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan. He first instructed Li Yunlong to find a way to thwart Xiao Zhengguo's assassination attempt, and then instructed Zhuang Yifan to rescue him.
Saving people is not wrong in itself.
But Ye Shaohong's request was quite unusual: he simply wanted to bring the person out alive.
As for whether he was injured or disabled, Ye Shaohong didn't care much; that was Xiao Zhengguo's fate.
So what was his purpose in making these arrangements?
Ye Shaohong didn't mention this point.
He didn't tell anyone, not even Zheng Yaoxian, whom he trusted greatly. This time, Ye Shaohong didn't tell him either.
Hearing Ye Shaohong's instructions, Zhuang Yifan was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Because he believed that Ye Shaohong would not harm him.
After making these arrangements, Ye Shaohong took off his military uniform, changed into civilian clothes, and left the No. 1 Honggongci Villa, eventually entering a coffee shop.
He beckoned to the waiter, ordered a hand-drip coffee, and then sat down to wait patiently.
A dozen minutes later, another Buick sedan pulled up in front of the coffee shop.
The door opened, and a lively and beautiful woman walked in.
The woman saw Ye Shaohong the moment she entered the room.
She didn't greet Ye Shaohong, nor did she sit down in front of him. Instead, she chose a seat back-to-back with him.
"Waitress, a glass of Blue Mountain coffee, please!"
Seeing the woman sit down, Ye Shaohong's lips immediately curled into a smile. He picked up the coffee cup on the table, drank the last bit of coffee, and then got up to pick up his suit jacket and put it on.
In the instant he was getting dressed, no one noticed that Ye Shaohong had quietly slipped an envelope into the woman's handbag.
Then he got up and left.
This time, Ye Shaohong left with peace of mind. He knew that with her help, he would definitely get through this crisis safely.
After leaving the coffee shop, Ye Shaohong went straight home.
……
Two days later, in a small alley on Qing Shi Street, a door opened wide, and a man dressed in a blue robe walked out.
Along with his appearance, another woman came into view.
The woman was wearing a cheongsam, and what was unusual was that the old-fashioned floral buttons on her chest were not fastened.
A hint of lingering languor still lingered on her face. "You rascal, every time you come over, you're in such a rush, leaving me stuck in this awkward position, it's so uncomfortable."
"Can't you just stay?"
As the woman's mournful voice rang out, a fair and smooth arm landed on the chest of the middle-aged man in the blue robe, and the woman gently traced a line with one finger.
It has a unique charm.
"No way."
"The situation has been very tense lately. There have been assassination attempts targeting our department's officials, and several people have already died."
"Director (Xu Enzeng) has already given orders that no one is allowed to stay out overnight for the foreseeable future."
The middle-aged man in the blue robe stared at the woman's beautiful face, silently swallowed, and a hint of attraction appeared on his face, but in the end he shook his head and refused.
"Hmph!" "I think you're just afraid of that tigress in your house, that's why you're making excuses to avoid me."
"Since you're unwilling, then get out of here."
With a soft groan, the woman's fingers, which had been tracing patterns on the man's chest, instantly transformed into a palm, gently shoving it against the chest of the middle-aged man in the blue robe.
They pushed him out of the doorway and closed the door to the courtyard.
"boom!"
The sound of the door closing rang out, and the middle-aged man in the blue robe immediately put on an awkward smile.
"Little vixen, I'll let you be cocky for a couple of days. Once this danger is over, I'll see how I deal with you."
The middle-aged man in the blue robe muttered to himself for a few moments, then turned around and made as if to leave the alley and the courtyard where he hid his mistress.
Just then, a slender, handsome young man walked into the alleyway.
It was Xiao Zhengguo.
As soon as Xiao Zhengguo entered the alley, his eyes were immediately drawn to the middle-aged man in the blue long robe.
"Yang Ling, deputy head of the interrogation section of the Party Affairs Investigation Department?"
Before the middle-aged man in the blue robe could answer his question, Xiao Zhengguo had already drawn his Browning M1900 pistol from his waist.
As the middle-aged man, his face filled with terror, prepared to turn around and knock on the door for help, Xiao Zhengguo had already pulled the trigger of his pistol.
But then something strange happened.
Xiao Zhengguo pulled the trigger, and the Browning M1900 pistol in his hand made the sound of the spring starting, but no bullet flew out of the muzzle.
Xiao Zhengguo was taken aback.
The middle-aged man's action of turning around and knocking on the door paused for a brief moment.
Then Xiao Zhengguo pulled the trigger again, three times in a row, but still no bullet was fired. Xiao Zhengguo's face instantly turned black.
The middle-aged man in the blue robe paused briefly before revealing a ferocious expression on his face.
"Did the gun jam?"
"Since that's the case, then die!"
After his angry groan subsided, the middle-aged man in the blue robe stopped knocking on the courtyard gate and instead strode forward, lunging directly at Xiao Zhengguo.
