Chapter 209 Killing Without Shedding Blood

Chapter 209 Murder Without Shedding Blood

At this very moment, everything happening in the streets and alleys is unfolding according to the script.

Ye Shaohong was also observing everything from the sidelines.

He, Xu Baichuan, and Zheng Yaoxian were hiding in a teahouse on the street.

Every now and then, field agents would run in from outside to report on the movements of the escaped prisoners.

With the aid of binoculars and a detailed map, even if the three of them couldn't know the specifics of the streets and alleys, they could still make a rough guess.

"Ready to make a move?"

"Shao Hong, do you think they will split their forces?"

Xu Baichuan was experienced in command. As early as when Ye Shaohong had just submitted the plan, he had already keenly discovered the difficulties of the plan.

Right now, at this very moment.

Getting these panicked escaped prisoners to act according to their own desires is extremely difficult.

Ultimately, it all comes down to controlling people's hearts and minds.

Ye Shaohong wasn't worried about this, and he knew what Xu Baichuan was concerned about.

"Director Xu, are you worried that Blind Zhou and Liu Sandao won't split their forces?"

"Actually, this is normal."

"If it were me, when faced with the choice of splitting up forces, I would also worry and think deeply, considering whether splitting up forces would be beneficial to me."

"Could it be a conspiracy by the other side? Could he have been sold out and used as a pawn to block the pursuers from behind?" Ye Shaohong chuckled and spoke Xu Baichuan's doubts without any hesitation. When he saw Xu Baichuan nod solemnly, Ye Shaohong shook his head again.

"But I believe they will divide their forces."

"The reason is simple: the people who escaped from Nancheng Prison tonight are all vicious criminals."

"Given their experience and knowledge, the ability to create their own reputation inherently involves an element of gambling. They believe in their abilities and will make choices that align with their own nature."

There are far too many cases like this; frankly, it's all about empiricism.

However, this study of human nature had not yet been summarized into a doctrine in 1937, so Xu Baichuan, Zheng Yaoxian, and others were unaware of it.

Ye Shaohong's soul came from the future. Although he hadn't studied this kind of doctrine in depth, he had read some books and watched many TV shows and movies. So he did have some understanding.

This is the progress of the times, and it is also one of the ways in which later generations of humans are stronger than their ancestors.

"Oh?"

"You sound very confident."

"Alright, let's keep watching and hopefully it will turn out as you said."

Ye Shaohong's remarkable abilities have been demonstrated several times in the few months since he joined the Special Service Department, and Xu Baichuan has some confidence in Ye Shaohong's capabilities.

That's why he didn't stubbornly interfere in this operation.

And just as Ye Shaohong had said, just as their conversation ended, another field operative from the military department ran in from outside.

"Director, section chief, team leader, we just received the latest news: Zhou the Blind and Liu the Three-Knife have split up their forces." "Six of them have already scaled the wall and jumped into the residence of the confidential specialist of the Party Affairs Investigation Department."

Upon hearing the report from the field operative, Ye Shaohong, Xu Baichuan, and Zheng Yaoxian all breathed a sigh of relief. The plan had progressed to this point and was basically close to success.

"it is good!"

"Now proceed according to plan. Immediately issue an order to Li Yunlong to lead his men to capture Zhou Xiazi, Liu Sandao, and the others."

"Remember, control the pace well. Don't push them too far, but don't let them escape either."

Ye Shaohong didn't say anything more harsh, after all, the person in front of him was just an ordinary field operative, and revealing too much intelligence to him would also risk exposure.

Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, Chi Tiecheng, and the others already knew the specific details of the operation from Ye Shaohong.

Even if Ye Shaohong didn't explicitly state the requirements, Li Yunlong and the others would know how to handle the situation. "Yes, team leader!"

The field officer saluted, turned around, and left the room.

A few minutes later, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from a courtyard not far from the teahouse.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang..."

"They've started fighting."

The moment the gunshot rang out, the three people in the teahouse immediately perked up. Almost simultaneously, they picked up their binoculars and, using the moonlight in the darkness, looked towards the streets and alleys ahead.

Then they saw flames suddenly rise from a house in front of them.

In just a short moment, the main house of the mansion was completely engulfed in flames.

Ye Shaohong clenched his fist as well.

"Signal for lighting the fire!"

"It's a success." Ye Shaohong's excited expression naturally caught the attention of Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian, and both of them smiled at the same time.

"Shao Hong, you're amazing!"

"You can design such manipulative actions and make them act according to your intentions; your methods are indeed remarkable."

Xu Baichuan, also with a smile on his face, put down his binoculars and looked at Ye Shaohong with great appreciation.

He was generous with his praise.

As for Zheng Yaoxian, his expression was more complicated. He first showed a hint of joy, and then a touch of sadness.

Clearly, Zheng Yaoxian was not as ruthless as Xu Baichuan, and he felt sympathy for him again.

Of course, I'm not sympathizing with the party's investigation department's opponents.

Instead, he felt sympathy for their families. This brief moment of emotion did not escape Ye Shaohong's notice, and after a moment's thought, he still did not offer any explanation.

Or rather, he would explain to Zheng Yaoxian, but definitely not in front of Xu Baichuan.

Pointing out Zheng Yaoxian's soft-hearted side in front of Xu Baichuan would be tantamount to pushing Zheng Yaoxian to the brink of despair, and would definitely make Xu Baichuan notice the change in Zheng Yaoxian's expression.

Ye Shaohong would never do something like that.

He simply shook his head at Zheng Yaoxian, then picked up the binoculars again and looked into the depths of the streets and alleys.

A few minutes later, another series of gunshots rang out.

Similarly, a house caught fire.

"Pretty!"

Both targets are dead.

"This operation against the poison sting went relatively smoothly, and we did not disappoint Director, Director Xu, and Section Chief Zheng."

Should we go over and take a look?

Seeing the flames rising in the courtyard, Ye Shaohong knew the progress of Li Yunlong and his men. Relieved, he also looked at Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian.

I'd like to get their opinions.

"forget it."

"Both houses are now engulfed in flames, which has alarmed the surrounding residents. We can't see the specific situation if we go there now."

"Moreover, with such a commotion here, it certainly couldn't have escaped the intelligence network of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. The news has probably already reached Dingjiaqiao."

"It might have even reached Xu Enzeng's ears. If we go there now and they see it, it will be quite a problem."
