My spy diary

Chapter 609 Heartbreak (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Station Master Tong sat in his room downstairs, seemingly calmly flipping through a book.

He was reading a book called "The Family Letters of Zeng Guofan." As the saying goes, "When the superior has a certain fondness, the subordinate will follow suit." The old man admired this man, and Boss Dai often read "The Complete Works of Zeng Guofan." As his subordinate, he naturally had to put on a good show; "A person with knowledge and learning naturally exudes elegance."

Then he read the line, "Knowing one principle and then putting it into practice, this is the way of putting things into action." This means that if you understand a principle, you should put it into practice; this is the true way of putting things into action. He was deeply moved and couldn't help but think of the Analects, Book 2, Chapter 1, "When there is work to be done, the younger generation should take on the labor; when there is food and drink, the elders should be served first." This means that when there is work to be done, the younger generation should take on the responsibility of labor; when there is food and drink, the elders should be served first, demonstrating the respect and service of the younger generation towards their elders.

He thought to himself, "Am I also practicing this principle by presenting Jiangshan County's number one beauty, 'Little Concubine Pan,' to Boss Dai?"
Thinking of this, Station Chief Tong felt a surge of smug satisfaction. In officialdom, promotions and demotions are inevitable, and the current power struggles and advancements are not entirely linked to personal ability and ambition, but rather to personal connections and nepotism. Having connections in high places makes it easier to get ahead, but unfortunately, he was only a graduate of the seventh class of the Whampoa Military Academy, not one of the first or second classes that the old man had focused on and entrusted with important responsibilities.

However, as long as "Little Pan Fei" is liked by Boss Dai, and even taken back to the mountain city, and occasionally whispers sweet nothings in his ear, then his future will surely rise accordingly and be limitless.

These past few days, Boss Dai has been busy with official business and has no woman by his side who cares about his well-being. Little Pan Fei is naturally beautiful and gentle, and having come from a brothel, she is exceptionally knowledgeable and affectionate in matters of love and sex. She is skilled in both lovemaking and sex, and the boss is so engrossed in the gentle haven she has created that he can hardly resist her charm.

"I'm afraid things have already turned upside down, with everything in chaos and upheaval."

Thinking this way, Station Chief Tong couldn't help but feel a little distracted and daydreaming. However, there was one thing he could figure out: once he had power and status, what kind of woman wouldn't he be able to have in his arms?
Just then, his secretary pushed open the door and came in. He quickly asked:

"How about it?"

The secretary said cautiously, "I don't know what's going on; the boss hasn't summoned her yet."

Station Master Tong was immediately frustrated and furious: "How could this happen?"

"I guess Boss Dai is still busy? I just saw Director Zhang go upstairs and haven't come down yet. He must be reporting on his work."

"Director Zhang? What kind of work report is this so late? Get out and keep an eye on things!"

The secretary quickly left, and just as she was about to close the door, the phone rang inside.

Meanwhile, in the room where "Little Pan Fei" was, she was exchanging perfunctory pleasantries with the waitress.

The waitress was specially arranged by Station Chief Tong because he was afraid she would be lonely. In fact, she was a female agent from the Military Intelligence Bureau in disguise.

The mesh hood was still on her head. Although the waitress couldn't see her face clearly, she was well-trained and had a discerning eye; she could smell the worldliness emanating from her even through the chair. However, she didn't feel contempt or disdain; instead, she felt a surge of curiosity towards this "Little Concubine Pan," and complimented her with a smile:

"Sister, you have such a great figure."

"Really? You're very pretty too." Matsushima Ryoko said indifferently from behind her hat flap. Compared to the waiter's enthusiasm, she seemed a bit cold, or perhaps uneasy. She glanced at the wall clock and realized it was already two in the morning. The man surnamed Dai hadn't summoned her yet. Could something have happened?
Was his identity exposed, or was there a problem with Shibahara Heizaburo?
She gazed at the dark night sky outside the window, and for a moment, she felt a vague unease.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The waiter opened it, and Lieutenant Jia walked in. He smiled at Ryoko Matsushima:
"Miss Pan, the boss requests your presence."

Just as Matsushima Ryoko stood up, Lieutenant Jia said again, "Excuse me, I need to search you first. You don't mind, do you?"

Ryoko Matsushima was prepared for this, but she feigned displeasure: "Is this Mr. Dai's idea? Can I say I mind?"

Lieutenant Jia smiled broadly: "Miss Pan, it's my duty, please understand."

As he spoke, he glanced at the waitress:
"Could you please do this for me, young lady?"

The waitress looked embarrassed, glanced at Ryoko Matsushima, then looked back at Lieutenant Jia, and asked Ryoko Matsushima in a low voice:
"Sister, it's me."

Ryoko Matsushima snorted but didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The waitress stepped forward and searched her thoroughly, checking even the smallest hair. Matsushima Ryoko immediately understood her identity.

The body search yielded nothing.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Jia pretended to be relieved:
"Miss Pan, please come with me."

And so, led by Lieutenant Jia, Ryoko Matsushima entered the room where Dai Chunfeng was.

However, unexpectedly, there was another person in the room, Station Chief Tong, who was standing respectfully to the side, looking very puzzled.

Matsushima Ryoko's unease intensified. Just as she was feeling anxious, she saw Lieutenant Jia walk up to Dai Chunfeng and whisper a few words in his ear. Although his voice was very soft, Matsushima Ryoko could still vaguely hear phrases like "body search" and "safety," and she breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then she saw Dai Chunfeng nod, stand up, scrutinize her for a few moments, and say lecherously:
"Is Miss Pan Fei?"

With Station Chief Tong present, Ryoko Matsushima, fearing her identity would be exposed, could not speak up and could only pretend to be shy, nodding awkwardly.

Station Master Tong, who had been disheartened, was naturally invigorated when he saw that Boss Dai had finally summoned the beauty he had recommended. Fearing that Xiao Panfei might be too reserved and displease the boss, he quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Director, Miss Pan is naturally beautiful and gentle as water."

Before he could finish speaking, two loud bangs came from outside the door. Without thinking, Deputy Jia rushed out and stood in front of Boss Dai, pointing his gun at the door.

Station Chief Tong froze for a moment, his body springing back against the sofa. As his left hand reached for his holster, his pupils contracted, and he stared at the door in terror: "An assassin! An assassin—"

Ryoko Matsushima was also startled by the sudden gunshot. Instinctively, she shifted her position by pressing her toes to the ground. Instead of falling straight down, she used the momentum to transition from a half-squat to a prone position, with her knees and elbows forming a stable triangle. Her gaze swept towards the door in the direction of the gunshot, but by the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Yi looked at them innocently. It turned out that the two balloons in his hand had popped.

Dai Chunfeng laughed self-deprecatingly: "I see enemies everywhere."

Station Chief Tong was dumbfounded and furious:

"Director Zhang, what are you up to?"

Zhang Yi didn't speak, but just smiled as he looked at Matsushima Ryoko, who had already turned over and gotten up.

Dai Chunfeng smiled and looked at her for a moment. He had seen all of Matsushima Ryoko's reactions just now. They were all real-world reactions. She was indeed a well-trained female spy.

"Miss Pan, you're quite skilled! Now, can you take off your hat and let us see your true colors?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the guards Cao Jihua and He Qiyi, who were standing outside the door, rushed in like the wind, pointing their guns at Matsushima Ryoko.

Ryoko Matsushima realized that she had been exposed and could no longer leave unscathed. She tried her best to remain calm and thought about a way out.

"What...what's going on—?" Station Chief Tong was still completely bewildered. He had been so focused on dodging that he hadn't noticed Matsushima Ryoko's actions at all. "Shut up!" Dai Chunfeng interrupted him sharply, "Useless trash!"

Station Chief Tong remained silent, and under his suspicious gaze, Zhang Yi stepped forward and ripped off the veil from Matsushima Ryoko's head.

Ryoko Matsushima was naturally unwilling to surrender. This was the moment she had been waiting for. With a sharp cry, she turned her hands into claws and pounced to grab his neck.

Zhang Yi reacted swiftly, dodging to the side, and his claw, aimed at her throat, missed. Instead, his left hand swiftly gripped Matsushima Ryoko's wrist, while his right fist slammed into her collarbone. Matsushima Ryoko screamed and slammed against the wall with a thud.

Cao Jihua and He Qiyi immediately pounced on her, subdued her, handcuffed her, and gagged her.

During the fight, the hat with the netted veil had long been pulled to the ground by Zhang Yi. The person standing in front of everyone was not Xiao Panfei Pan Qiaolan, but a strange woman who glared at everyone in the room with hatred in her eyes.

Station Chief Tong was completely bewildered. What was going on? Where was Pan Qiaolan?

This question caused his mind to freeze for several seconds before he came to his senses and looked at Dai Chunfeng with trepidation: "Director, I..."

Dai Chunfeng didn't even look at him, and pointed at Matsushima Ryoko: "Take her to the next room, I want to interrogate her myself."

After saying this, he gave Zhang Yi a meaningful look, "Yunyi, it's up to you now."

"Yes, sir. I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Zhang Yi stood up and saluted.

After Dai Chunfeng and the others left, Station Chief Tong stood there blankly, still shaken by what had just happened. Looking at the confident Zhang Yi, he asked somewhat helplessly:

"Brother, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing that Zhang Yi remained silent, he suddenly realized something and asked in a low voice, "Did you all know all along that this woman had a problem?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand so I could be prepared?"

Thinking about his performance just now, he felt heartbroken. He had completely exposed his ugly side. Would Boss Dai think he was selfish and only cared about his own life, completely disregarding the safety of his superiors, and was an incompetent and useless piece of trash? Station Chief Tong was filled with anxiety.

After a moment, Zhang Yicai replied, "Old Tong, you're overthinking it. I was just following orders. Boss Dai is unfathomable; how could you or I possibly fathom his thoughts? Instead of letting your imagination run wild, you should go to the boss and apologize, begging for his forgiveness."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Station Chief Tong came to his senses, muttered to himself, and walked away. In that instant, he seemed to have aged a lot.

Station Chief Tong left in a daze. Zhang Yi glanced at his watch, then turned his gaze to the window behind the curtains. He had a gut feeling—behind those curtains, a pair of hawk-like eyes were watching him. He needed to play his part well from now on to capture this man and his accomplices.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi smiled and his eyes shone brightly.

Several hundred meters away, the windows on the third floor of the South Gate Hotel remained dark. Inside the room, the thick curtains were drawn tightly, leaving only a small gap.

On the windowsill sat a sniper rifle. Shibahara Heisaburo was staring intently at Dai Chunfeng's room across the street through the scope of the rifle.

This is the Type 97 sniper rifle, with an accurate range of about 600 meters. It is equipped with a Type 99 4x optical sight and a monopod made of thick steel wire.

According to his and Ryoko Matsushima's plan, it would be best if she could eliminate Dai Chunfeng silently. If not, they would try to draw back the curtains to lure the target into their shooting range, and then take him out with a sniper rifle.

Thinking of this, Shibahara Heisaburo also smiled, looking confident of victory.

In the hospital late at night, Shen Ruozhu received a call from Zhang Yi, immediately tidied herself up, and headed outside.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind her: "Ruozhu".

Shen Ruozhu turned her head and saw her colleague Li Wei walking over from the corridor, panting, carrying a steaming casserole in his hand.

It was the same young policeman who had been following Zhang Yi earlier.

He was drenched in sweat, his shirt underneath his police uniform soaked and clinging to his body, as if he had been traveling for a long time. He brought over the still steaming clay pot, saying eagerly:
"Ruozhu, I just made some chicken soup. Eat some to nourish your body."

"Keep it for yourself," Shen Ruozhu said, seemingly not in the mood to say another word.

Li Wei didn't speak, his concerned gaze remaining fixed on her. Noticing she had changed her clothes, he quickly asked:
"Where are you going?"

Shen Ruozhu was too lazy to answer anymore. She turned around and walked outside on her own. Under the lamplight, her shadow was stretched longer and longer.

"You're going to see him again, aren't you?" Li Wei caught up with him in a few steps. "You're not fully recovered yet. Where are you going if not to stay in the hospital?"

Shen Ruozhu continued walking forward as if she hadn't heard him.

Seeing her seemingly oblivious attitude, Li Wei was at a loss. He squatted down with the clay pot, wanting to chase after her and hand it to Shen Ruozhu, but he didn't know how. He followed her for a few steps, watching her walk further and further away, and finally panicked:

"Ruozhu, are you even hearing me? Are you going to see him again? What kind of spell has he cast on you? He doesn't like you at all, he's just playing with you, can't you understand?"

Suddenly, Shen Ruozhu stopped.

Li Wei was stunned and stared at her blankly.

Shen Ruozhu turned around, staring straight at him: "What do you know? You know nothing. Don't bother me anymore, get lost."

After saying that, she turned and left. Li Wei was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe that these words came from Shen Ruozhu's mouth. With a bang, the casserole fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, with chicken soup splashing everywhere.

At that moment, it wasn't just the clay pot that shattered; he felt his heart was broken as well.

Watching Shen Ruozhu's figure walk further and further away until it disappeared into the darkness, Li Wei gritted his teeth:

"I'm going to kill him!"
