Chapter 157 Being Watched
As soon as Ye Shaohong spoke, Li Yunlong, who had been looking around furtively just moments before, immediately shuddered.
Although he has only been with the Bureau of Statistics for a little over a month.
However, Li Yunlong had already tasted the sweetness of success during this period.
He can sleep peacefully now, and he doesn't lack money anymore.
More importantly, he also gained power and status, and he no longer had to hide all day long as before.
They can go out openly and honestly and enjoy the flattery and fawning of others.
This greatly satisfied Li Yunlong's vanity and allowed him to see a bright future.
If his bad habits angered Ye Shaohong, Li Yunlong would find it unacceptable.
Therefore, Li Yunlong immediately accepted his mistake and apologized with trepidation.
And what about Ye Shaohong?
He didn't really intend to punish Li Yunlong.
He simply seized the opportunity to give him a warning. After a few simple words of admonishment, Li Yunlong learned his lesson and became even more respectful and fearful of him. Ye Shaohong then turned to inquire about the details of the arrest.
When Li Yunlong told Ye Shaohong that he had arranged for his subordinates to conduct field operations to capture the last few members of the Qianhe Group, Ye Shaohong nodded in satisfaction.
He was warned again not to make such a big fuss.
Ye Shaohong isn't afraid of trouble or being targeted, but his superiors can't clean up his messes all the time. It's best to be more discreet when necessary.
Li Yunlong naturally dared not refuse.
After receiving the admonition, he respectfully left the room. The moment he closed the door, Li Yunlong even raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He let out a long breath.
"That's strange. The team leader isn't that old, so why is he acting more and more like a bureaucrat?"
“When I first met him, I could stand up straight in front of him and say a few words, but now I don’t even dare to look him in the eye.”
"That's really scary!"
After muttering to himself for a while, Li Yunlong still couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, he could only shake his head, cheer himself up, and go downstairs.
Not long after, he set off again with his men. This time, however, Li Yunlong and his thugs dared not shout or yell anymore.
Instead, they drove off quietly.
This scene did not escape Ye Shaohong's eyes.
This also did not escape the notice of the seasoned veterans and cunning individuals inside Villa No. 1 of Honggongci.
Some people laughed, some joked, and some watched coldly.
Ye Shaohong no longer cared about any of this. With noon approaching and his daily business finished, he made a phone call to Song Xiaoan's office.
"Brother Xiao'an, are you free at noon? I'd like to treat you to lunch."
Song Xiaoan has been very busy and mysterious lately. Ever since Ye Shaohong handed him the case of the leaked information about the operation to suppress the Red Party, he has been busy with this matter.
The two hadn't sat down for a proper chat in a while. Since he had nothing else to do today, Ye Shaohong thought he'd like to get together with Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi.
Let's connect, share our feelings, and have a heart-to-heart talk.
This will not be detrimental to his future work at the Bureau of Survey and Statistics.
But to Ye Shaohong's disappointment, Song Xiaoan's attitude towards him did not change at all after the call was connected.
She simply declined his offer to have dinner with her.
When Ye Shaohong pressed for the reason, Song Xiaoan complained to Ye Shaohong, saying that Ye Shaohong's work was too outstanding and that he and Ye Shaohong were in the same military department, which put a lot of pressure on them.
Now that the case he's handling is almost solved, he wants to understand it as soon as possible.
Bring all the prisoners back.
Firstly, it would give him face and solidify his position; secondly, he also wanted to create some future opportunities for his subordinates.
Hmm... You could also say it's Qian Cheng (钱程).
This reason left Ye Shaohong feeling helpless.
He couldn't very well tell Song Xiaoan, "Brother, stop striving and just follow me from now on."
Ye Shaohong dared to say such things, and Song Xiaoan dared to listen, but he was afraid that Zheng Yaoxian would not let him off the hook.
In the morning, Ye Shaohong was already exhausted from his brief conversation with Zheng Yaoxian in Zheng Yaoxian's office. If he angered Zheng Yaoxian and was targeted by him, would Ye Shaohong even survive?
At the same time, Ye Shaohong also heard a hidden message from Song Xiaoan.
That means he has successfully identified the suspect.
They're getting ready to make arrests.
Once the suspects in the leak of the operation to suppress the Red Party are apprehended and the news spreads, it will undoubtedly cause a significant stir in the Nationalist government. Ye Shaohong doesn't know how many people will lose their official positions because of this, but one thing he is very clear about is that...
That means the case has been solved, and the news will inevitably reach the Northwest battlefield. The failure of the second encirclement and suppression operation will cause infighting between the front and the rear, which is also good news for our party.
This can buy them more breathing room.
Overall, the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages.
"alright."
"Then I'll wait until you're done with your work, Brother Xiao'an, and then I'll prepare a banquet to specially invite you!"
In that brief moment, Ye Shaohong thought about many things, but on the surface, he still cheerfully dealt with Song Xiaoan without revealing the slightest bit of anything unusual.
"Don't!"
"If we're talking about arrangements, then it should be me who treats. You gave me this case, little brother, so I have to accept your kindness and this meal has to be on my behalf." "If you try to take it from me again, little brother, I'll really lose face."
Song Xiaoan was indeed a smooth talker, and he genuinely treated Ye Shaohong like a younger brother, since Zheng Yaoxian had personally led Ye Shaohong into the Special Service Department.
As Zheng Yaoxian's top lieutenant and confidant, Song Xiaoan was well aware of Ye Shaohong's position in Zheng Yaoxian's heart.
In addition, Ye Shaohong is young, intelligent and wise, and has a promising future, so Song Xiaoan, who knows how to get along with people, is even more enthusiastic.
"Okay."
"Since you've said so, brother, of course I'm willing to help you achieve your goal."
"I'm going to rip you off."
The two chatted and laughed for several minutes before Ye Shaohong finally hung up the phone after the old-fashioned quartz clock on the wall struck twelve times.
Since Song Xiaoan couldn't come out, he would have to take care of his own lunch.
After taking off his military uniform and changing into casual clothes, Ye Shaohong left his room and exited Villa No. 1 of Honggongci. He planned to find a restaurant outside, order a few simple dishes and a pot of wine, and get through the meal.
But to his surprise, not long after he stepped out of Villa No. 1 of Honggongci, Ye Shaohong sensed someone following him.
This immediately made Ye Shaohong's heart jump.
"Damn it, no way. I've almost wiped out the assassination squad that Tu Feiyuan Xian Er arranged. That's why I dared to go out alone. I even took off my military uniform because I was afraid of being targeted."
"I've been so cautious, do I really still have to face an assassination attempt?"
