Chapter 222 Inviting the Enemy into the Trap
into the night.
Li Yunlong and Xiao Zhengguo finally returned to Villa No. 1, Honggongci.
They parked the car in front of the villa and got out, looking dejected.
They didn't talk to each other, and after getting out of the car, they immediately started walking towards the office building.
Soon, they knocked on the door of Ye Shaohong's office.
Upon hearing their report, Ye Shaohong's face immediately darkened.
"What? It failed?"
"What happened?" "Wasn't the plan meticulously arranged? I also gave you the authority to mobilize personnel and resources, how could it still fail?"
Although Ye Shaohong personally arranged and orchestrated this failure, he certainly couldn't admit it in front of Li Yunlong and Xiao Zhengguo.
He also needs to appear more angry.
He slammed his fist on the table and launched into a tirade against Xiao Zhengguo, who immediately lowered his head in anger.
"I'm sorry, team leader, I've let you down."
"Punish me."
Xiao Zhengguo was a tough guy. Although the operation failed due to some unexpected factors, he did not offer any excuses.
He simply lowered his head and admitted his mistake frankly.
This stumped Ye Shaohong.
Yes, he deliberately sabotaged Xiao Zhengguo's operation, but he never intended to punish Xiao Zhengguo.
yelling and cursing at him was just an act.
Ye Shaohong's real purpose was still to lay the groundwork.
Upon hearing Xiao Zhengguo's apology and seeing his dejected expression, Ye Shaohong immediately frowned.
Taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Zhengguo looked down and didn't see him, he quickly gave Li Yunlong a wink.
Li Yunlong was quite clever.
He instantly understood Ye Shaohong's thoughts, and quickly stepped forward to defend Xiao Zhengguo.
Explain the reasons for the failure of this mission.
They also mentioned that Xiao Zhengguo's injuries had not yet healed, and that this failure was indeed understandable. They hoped that Ye Shaohong could forgive him this time, considering the merits Xiao Zhengguo had previously made.
"Merit is merit, and fault is fault. Can the two cancel each other out?"
"Besides, didn't I reward you for your meritorious service that time?"
"I have never lacked you in terms of status, position, money, and face, so don't talk to me about offsetting merits and demerits."
"Xiao Zhengguo's failure in this mission is his own responsibility. Li Yunlong, even if you plead for him, it won't make a difference."
Since Li Yunlong has already stepped in to play the good cop, Ye Shaohong naturally has to keep up the act.
He continued to roar angrily, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.
Ye Shaohong sighed dejectedly and sat down in his chair, his face flushed with embarrassment. He continued talking until Xiao Zhengguo's cheeks turned red, and he almost wanted to disappear into the ground.
"Xiao Zhengguo, you've really disappointed me."
"That's it, that's it."
“I, Ye Shaohong, am not a cold-hearted person. I know there are other reasons why you failed this mission.” “But I cannot let you off easily.”
"Alright, starting today, you will temporarily step down as captain of the third squad and reflect on your actions for a while."
Ye Shaohong waved his hand, seemingly making a decision with great reluctance.
"Team leader..."
"roll!"
"Go and rest and recover properly. I'm telling you, this is your last chance. If you mess up the mission again, I'll kill you."
Ye Shaohong glared at him, immediately silencing Xiao Zhengguo, who was about to speak.
"Hey, Captain Xiao, why don't you thank Team Leader Ye?"
"He's not punishing you at all."
"He's clearly using punishment as an excuse to protect you." Li Yunlong is so shrewd. Even while cooperating with Ye Shaohong's act, he still tries to please both sides, advising Xiao Zhengguo on one hand and flattering Ye Shaohong on the other.
"Alright, alright."
"I'm so angry and have nowhere to vent, so don't get in my way here."
"You all should get out of here right now."
Ye Shaohong waved his hand impatiently again, finally getting Li Yunlong and Xiao Zhengguo to leave in peace.
Just as Li Yunlong turned to leave, Ye Shaohong winked at him again, pointed at Xiao Zhengguo, and made a gesture of raising a wine glass to drink.
Li Yunlong immediately understood.
The two of them left Ye Shaohong's office together. Xiao Zhengguo was feeling down because the operation had failed.
Li Yunlong seized the opportunity and suggested inviting Xiao Zhengguo out for drinks. Xiao Zhengguo immediately agreed.
Then the two of them left Villa No. 1, Honggongci together.
Ye Shaohong stood in his office, watching the two of them walk away together from the window, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
"The plan is progressing fairly smoothly."
"Now, let's see if that mysterious woman will fall into the trap."
After muttering to himself, Ye Shaohong didn't rest. He immediately returned to his desk, picked up the desktop phone, and dialed the number.
"Yifan, how's the manpower arrangement I asked you to make?"
"Yunlong and Zhengguo have left, the plan can begin."
No sooner had Ye Shaohong finished speaking than Zhuang Yifan's voice came through the phone.
"Don't worry, team leader." "I've already arranged the manpower. As long as those bastards in the Party Affairs Investigation Department dare to jump out, they'll be able to come but not leave."
Zhuang Yifan was raging on the phone, and as he spoke, the sound of Chi Tiecheng cocking a gun could be heard on the other end of the line, indicating that both of them were ready.
"do not."
"If the people from the Party Affairs Investigation Department fall into the trap tonight, you can kill most of their men."
"But the leader must let him leave alive."
"I still need to find that woman's whereabouts."
So far, the plan has been running quite well, and Ye Shaohong was in a good mood, which is why he specially comforted Zhuang Yifan and revealed some information to him.
"That's it."
"I understand now. Team leader, please rest assured, I promise I won't let you down."
"By the way, should I arrange for some people to track them down?"
Through the conversation just now, Zhuang Yifan finally got a general understanding of Ye Shaohong's plan. He was also very interested and wanted to seize this credit, so he immediately asked to take on the task.
"No need, I've already made arrangements."
"Your mission is only one: to ensure the safety of Li Yunlong and Xiao Zhengguo, and at the same time, to annihilate most of the invading enemy."
"As for the follow-up tasks, someone will take charge of them."
"Alright, let's get moving! I'm waiting for your good news!"
