Chapter 218 The Great Injustice: Xiao Zhengguo
After killing Ge Hongyu, Ye Shaohong temporarily decided not to continue his operations.
He gathered most of the group back, adopting a defensive posture while waiting for the mysterious woman to launch a counterattack.
Through this period of back-and-forth, he has been able to roughly determine the other party's personality.
That's a madman.
If she were a normal person, she wouldn't have immediately taken retaliatory action after Gao Zhanlong was assassinated.
Instead, they will carefully consider their options and choose to hide themselves first.
It was precisely because of this judgment that Ye Shaohong had become increasingly cautious in his actions recently, and that he had arranged for Zhou Fei to send people to protect Yu Manli.
Things unfolded much as Ye Shaohong had predicted.
That very night, the assassination squad of the Party Affairs Investigation Department took action again, this time targeting Li Peilin, the director of the Third Division.
He was a top-ranking official in the Secret Service.
In terms of position alone, Li Peilin would definitely rank among the top ten in the current Special Service.
The crazy woman attacked him, indicating she was considering a complete break with the Special Service Department. Fortunately, Li Peilin was vigilant enough.
After his brother-in-law, Murong Han, the deputy head of the Third Judicial Section, was assassinated, he had secretly strengthened his security forces. Every time he went out, he had more than a dozen bodyguards, both overt and covert.
Therefore, when he encountered the assassination attempt by the Party Affairs Investigation Department, he remained calm despite the panic. After repelling the first wave of attacks from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Li Peilin immediately ordered his bodyguards to capture the assassins.
Although no survivors were left, three people were killed.
That can be considered a meritorious deed.
At the same time, he also avenged his brother-in-law Murong Han, which was a way of venting his pent-up resentment.
However, this matter still alarmed Dai Yunong.
That old fox, during the day, when he heard that Ge Hongyu had been assassinated, he was happy to watch the show. But when he heard the news of Li Peilin's assassination that night, he immediately called Xu Baichuan.
The pressure was then passed on to Ye Shaohong.
Upon receiving Xu Baichuan's call and hearing the news, Ye Shaohong was so angry that he kicked the table.
He knew this wasn't Dai Yunong's or Xu Baichuan's fault. It was that crazy woman taking revenge on him.
Ye Shaohong used a scare tactic to force her out of the shadows, and the woman fell for it.
They've come out of it.
But she didn't intend to let Ye Shaohong off the hook, and instead retaliated by giving him a taste of his own medicine.
This also dragged Ye Shaohong into trouble and distress.
Moreover, Ye Shaohong could guarantee that the woman's vicious plan was definitely not that simple.
Perhaps she is still thinking of other ways to try and first identify him.
Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong's mind immediately tightened.
"Oh shit."
"I told you people these days aren't stupid. Look, any opponent that pops up is so difficult to deal with."
"Most importantly, she is also a madwoman with no moral bottom line."
Ye Shaohong pinched the bridge of his nose and immediately began to think of a solution. He didn't want to confront that crazy woman head-on.
"Calm down, calm down."
"Let's think about how she can identify me."
"Reputation, deeds?"
"Although I have made a name for myself since joining the Secret Service, I am still young, and she may not notice me immediately."
"Then it must be a traitor!"
"But the Special Service Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department have been fighting for many years, and it has become commonplace for them to plant spies on each other. Moreover, there are many people working in Villa No. 1 of Honggong Temple, so it is simply impossible to keep a tight watch on them."
"Since we can't lock onto the target from within, we have no choice but to act from the outside." With that thought, a figure immediately came to mind for Ye Shaohong.
He is Xiao Zhengguo.
"Hey, I really didn't mean to trick him."
"It's because he already took my place when the Japanese spy was executed at Yuhuatai last time."
"What I did was simply making use of waste... no, it was just turning the tables on them."
To be honest, ever since Ye Shaohong met Xiao Zhengguo, Xiao Zhengguo has already taken the fall for him twice, and Xiao Zhengguo was injured in both operations.
Although there was no danger to his life, Ye Shaohong actually felt quite guilty.
That's why he gave Xiao Zhengguo the position of squad leader.
Ye Shaohong had always been tolerant of Xiao Zhengguo's reluctance to come to work while he stayed in his hospital bed. He had never criticized Xiao Zhengguo in the slightest.
During this period, he even arranged for people to send Xiao Zhengguo a lot of benefits and give him a lot of money.
Ye Shaohong just wanted to make amends.
If he had a choice, Ye Shaohong wouldn't want to use Xiao Zhengguo anymore, but now he has no choice. The phone call from Dai Yunong has put the pressure on Ye Shaohong's shoulders.
If he didn't want to put himself in danger, he would have no choice but to sacrifice Xiao Zhengguo again.
"This unfortunate boy!"
Ye Shaohong muttered to himself, but his hands moved with perfect precision. He picked up the telephone on the table and dialed the infirmary.
The order was given to Xiao Zhengguo to recover and return to the team immediately.
Xiao Zhengguo was completely bewildered when he suddenly received Ye Shaohong's order. But Ye Shaohong was his direct superior, and had shown him favor by promoting him. No matter how unwilling Xiao Zhengguo was, he had no choice but to obey the order.
With these questions in mind, Xiao Zhengguo arrived at the office building and knocked on Ye Shaohong's door.
It was quite rare for Ye Shaohong to personally get up and greet him.
This immediately made Xiao Zhengguo feel valued.
Ye Shaohong then had a cordial and friendly conversation with Xiao Zhengguo, showing great concern and care for Xiao Zhengguo's life and work.
At the last moment, Ye Shaohong revealed his purpose, instructing Xiao Zhengguo to assassinate the last person on the five-person list.
Of course, Ye Shaohong gave himself a good excuse.
He said that this was a credit he deliberately reserved for Xiao Zhengguo, because Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Chi Tiecheng had all personally participated in the operations against the first four targets.
They have all made meritorious contributions. After the operation concludes, Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Chi Tiecheng will all be awarded for their meritorious service.
Ye Shaohong is a fair and just person.
Xiao Zhengguo, like Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Chi Tiecheng, was one of his trusted confidants. Now that there was an opportunity to make contributions and be rewarded, he certainly couldn't show favoritism to any of them.
Only then did he make a phone call, forcing Xiao Zhengguo to be discharged from the hospital and return to his job.
Ye Shaohong spoke with such selflessness that Xiao Zhengguo was deeply moved. In front of Ye Shaohong, tears almost welled up in his eyes.
"Team leader, you've been so good to me...you've been so good to me."
"From childhood to adulthood, besides my parents and teachers, you are the best person to me."
"I, Xiao Zhengguo, am willing to give my life for you and repay your kindness with my life."
Xiao Zhengguo stood up and saluted. When he looked at Ye Shaohong again, a hint of fanaticism even appeared deep in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Shaohong hesitated.
He opened his mouth several times as if to speak, but in the end he did not tell the truth. Ye Shaohong simply stood up and patted Xiao Zhengguo on the shoulder forcefully.
"Captain Xiao, do a good job, and I won't treat you unfairly."
"You're a good comrade!"
