Chapter 194 Dai Yunong's Summoning

Making empty promises won't work on seasoned veterans.

But Chi Tiecheng is different; he is just a newcomer who has just started to emerge.

If Ye Shaohong doesn't give him a chance to prove himself, following the normal historical trajectory, it will take Chi Tiecheng several more years to stand out.

During this period, one will also suffer many setbacks and pains, and gain or lose some things.

It is different now.

With Ye Shaohong as his mentor, Chi Tiecheng was able to avoid many detours.

He could discover his talent years in advance, and he could mature years earlier. Whether he can ultimately achieve the level of the leader of the jellyfish assassination team in a spy drama is impossible to say.

One thing is certain: with Ye Shaohong protecting him, Chi Tiecheng will not suffer the same tragic end as those in spy dramas.

As Ye Shaohong had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had imagined.

Upon hearing his promise, Chi Tiecheng was incredibly excited; it was clear that his entire body was trembling.

Tears welled up in the depths of her eyes.

In front of Ye Shaohong and Zhuang Yifan, Chi Tiecheng suddenly stood up, about to passionately reiterate his pledge of loyalty.

But just as he was about to make a move, Ye Shaohong stopped him.

With a slight smile on his lips, Ye Shaohong stood up and patted Chi Tiecheng on the shoulder.

"Iron City, don't get agitated, I know what you want to say."

“That’s not necessary.”

"Your achievements today are all the result of your hard work. I have provided you with a platform, but whether you can stand firm in the end depends on yourself."

Ye Shaohong's earnest persuasion finally calmed Chi Tiecheng down.

After a brief exchange, Zhuang Yifan and Chi Tiecheng left, as they still had many things to do.

For example, onboarding, file creation, receiving military uniforms, dormitory assignments, etc.

Ye Shaohong doesn't need to worry about these things.

His main purpose in returning this time was to meet with Zheng Yaoxian and learn more about the details of the struggle between the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Special Service Department.

Let's discuss the countermeasures further. Having done everything that needed to be done, Ye Shaohong had no desire to linger any longer at Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

He took off his military uniform, changed into civilian clothes, left the No. 1 Honggongci Villa, and went directly to the hospital.

Unfortunately, Yu Manli has not yet regained consciousness.

Worried about Yu Manli's safety, Ye Shaohong went to the doctor again to inquire about her condition. Only after receiving confirmation that she was safe and sound did he feel relieved.

Then he stayed by the bedside the whole time.

It wasn't until evening that Yu Manli, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly woke up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Ye Shaohong's figure.

This made Yu Manli pause for a moment.

"This is where?"

Am I dead?

"Why is the master here too? Could it be that he also...?" The moment she woke up and saw Ye Shaohong, the first emotion that surged into Manli's heart was not joy.

Instead, it is endless sorrow.

She thought that Ye Shaohong had ultimately not escaped his fate and had died along with her.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You're still alive."

"Why don't you try it and see if we still have any warmth left?"

As he spoke, Ye Shaohong had already grabbed Yu Manli's hand and pressed it against his cheek.

When Ye Shaohong grabbed her hand and she felt the warmth from his palm, and then touched his cheek, Yu Manli finally stopped crying and started smiling.

"Alive!"

"We're all still alive..." "That's great!"

After a brief moment of sentimentality, Yu Manli immediately became nervous again.

"Sir, are you injured?"

"Why are you calling me 'Master'?"

"Have you forgotten what I said before you fell unconscious? From now on, just call me Shao Hong."

Ye Shaohong didn't show the same excitement as Yu Manli, but what he said still made Yu Manli very happy.

"alright, I got it."

"From now on, I'll call you Shao Hong..."

At that moment, the two of them were like a young couple, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

A moment later, Ye Shaohong remembered that Yu Manli hadn't eaten all day because of her injury. Ye Shaohong wanted to prepare some food for Yu Manli, but the doctor said that the bullet had entered Yu Manli's abdomen, damaging her intestines, and she couldn't eat for a while.

It will take a few days.

Unable to eat, Ye Shaohong didn't want Yu Manli to suffer like this, so he arranged for someone to go outside and find some honey.

Honey from that era lacked the advanced technology and ruthless methods of later generations.

They are all completely natural.

It should be fine to give Manli some honey water to moisturize her lips.

And so, Ye Shaohong stayed with Yu Manli in the hospital for three whole days, and during those three days, he rarely left the ward.

Finally, Yu Manli regained her energy and spirit.

A smile returned to his face.

To help Yu Manli pass the time and prevent her from getting too bored staying cooped up in the room all day, Ye Shaohong found her a lot of books and brought her embroidery supplies.

On the evening of the third day, a phone call came into the hospital, summoning Ye Shaohong from his ward.

Upon picking up the phone and hearing the familiar voice coming from the other end, Ye Shaohong's eyebrows immediately rose.

"Shao Hong, are you free tonight? The section chief wants to see you."

The person who called was Zheng Yaoxian. He didn't say much to Ye Shaohong, but just that simple sentence was enough for Ye Shaohong to know a lot.

"The rank chief wants to see me?"

"where is it?"

"Home!"

Zheng Yaoxian's words on the phone were very concise, even devoid of emotion; he simply replied with a single word.

Then Ye Shaohong's eyes narrowed. "Good!"

"I'll give the instructions and I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong stood there for a moment, then took a long breath and returned to the ward.

Ye Shaohong met Zhuang Yifan at the door of the ward.

These past few days, Zhuang Yifan has been staying at the hospital. On one hand, he needs to protect Ye Shaohong, and on the other hand, Ye Shaohong also wants him to protect Yu Manli.

This is a good opportunity for him to rest here for a few days.

"Yifan, I just received a call from Zheng Ke. I need to go out urgently."

"While I'm gone, you must guard this door and make sure Manli doesn't come into any danger."

"If she asks, just tell her I have to go home for a bit and will be back soon." "Oh, and give me your service pistol!"

Although this trip was to Dai Yunong's mansion and there shouldn't be any danger, Ye Shaohong still asked Zhuang Yifan for a gun out of caution.

Then he took Chi Tiecheng out of the hospital and got into a military vehicle to go directly to Dai's mansion...
