The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 207 March 30, 1937 (Miao Yu vs. Jiu Jing)
(Chapter 206 wasn't approved until 10 PM last night.)
February 18th, 1937 (lunar calendar).

Tuesday, March 30th (Gregorian calendar).

The night was bitterly cold, and gloom seeped through the window.

Miao Yu curled up and moved slightly, frowning and groaning softly, the hidden pain as if her bones were broken.

I hit it with a towel and an iron rod. Yesterday the wounds weren't obvious, but today they've swelled up and are covered in bruises.

The cell door was pushed open, and two indifferent men in military uniforms strode in, grabbed Miao Yu, and carried her out.

Before long, they arrived at Naoki Sakai's office.

Miao Yu sat down opposite Sakai Naoki and stared directly at him.

"Everyone, get out." The voice was firm.

The room was quiet, and Miao Yu remained silent.

Naoki Sakai stared at Miao Yu, trying to discern something from her.

"A message has come from the Ace of Hearts."

"Firstly, she confirmed that Shen Liushu is not what we know from the information."

"He is a very unfathomable person."

"It confirms what you meant by a master of feigning weakness to deceive others."

"Secondly, the Ace of Hearts saw Shen Liushu's plan to target Nanzhao Yuanxiong."

"As mentioned above, the person who met with Dai Li to meet with the undercover agent who had infiltrated our high-level ranks was Zhou Lisheng himself."

"What are your thoughts on this matter?" The voice was low.

Miao Yu looked up, her phoenix eyes fixed on Sakai Naoki: "Shen Liushu arranged this plan, using Zhou Lisheng's name, in order to increase our trust."

"So that we can believe the people they sent."

"It can also mislead us, making us not notice Shen Liushu, who actually saw our high-level undercover agent."

"This person is skilled at playing dumb to outsmart others."

Naoki Sakai's expression was solemn: "Targeting the executor of the Nanzo Motooshi Plan."

"Shen Liushu recommended three people, and you are the first one."

Miao Yu's expression was cold: "I am Zhou Lisheng's secretary, and I have the best chance of seeing who becomes an undercover liaison officer infiltrating our upper echelons."

"So I am the first choice, so that our Special Higher Police will trust us."

"But they don't know who I am."

Naoki Sakai remained silent for a moment.

"Are you really confident you can get the name of the undercover agent who is lurking in our high-ranking positions?"

"I am not afraid that Shen Liushu will go back on his word."

"Don't forget, he's a master of playing dumb to outsmart others."

Miao Yufeng's eyes were firm: "I am confident."

"When the exchange takes place, I will first have him tell me the name of the undercover agent who has infiltrated our high-ranking ranks."

"And he must be able to prove it."

"I will then give him the list."

Naoki Sakai: "Have you ever considered using a fake list to exchange for it?"

Miao Yu revealed a disdainful smile: "He's not easy to fool."

"Their general affairs department is extremely capable."

"If a few names are randomly selected for review, and if they are not the correct ones, I will definitely not be able to come back."

"If I can't come back, then the name of that undercover agent can't be brought back either."

"So it has to be real."

"Besides, General Doihara said he wasn't afraid of them investigating 'Comprehensive 365'."

"I believe that statement; he must have said it to you."

"Others may be hiding it."

"As the mastermind behind this game, you couldn't possibly be unaware of this, could you?"

"The reason I dared to go directly to get the Shanghai list to exchange for it is because General Doihara said that he was not afraid of them investigating."

"The sooner they get access to the list, the greater our chances of winning this game."

"At that time, the National Bureau of Statistics will face pressure from powerful and wealthy people everywhere, and will have no time to deal with what we need to do."

"It's even possible that they've internally dismantled the Shanghai Statistics Bureau."

Naoki Sakai stared at Miao Yu: "You got these injuries so that our own people could see them?"

Miao Yuwei nodded: "We don't know the name of that undercover agent yet, so we have to act well."

"One was for the undercover agent to see."

"One is for Shen Liushu to see; I want to win his heart."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

"I reckon the senior directors of the Special Higher Police will all know I'm here today."

"The possibility of their identity being exposed is very high."

"I need time now. I must get the name before Zhou Lisheng reacts."

"Return quickly."

"If Zhou Lisheng finds out my true identity, I'm definitely not coming back."

Naoki Sakai fell silent.

"Take the list and leave. Before you leave, I want to ask you a question."

"Are you the person General Doihara placed to monitor me?"

Miao Yu's expression was cold: "Yes, but I believe you're not the undercover agent. Because you let me leave with the list."

Naoki Sakai felt a chill run down his spine. Did those words mean he wasn't letting Miao Yu leave?

You will die.

Or they might be given that undercover identity.

General Doihara had planned everything before he left, and he was a master of his craft.

Miao Yu stood gracefully, picked up the list on the table, and turned to leave.

I pushed open the door and didn't go far.

Nanzo Gen'o strode over, clearly having waited on purpose.

Miao Yu stopped in her tracks: "Uncle."

"Did Section Chief Sakai agree to your request?" Nanzo Motoo asked.

"Those who are from the South will succeed in whatever they set out to do."

"For example, my uncle."

"I have always regarded you as my life goal."

"I hope to catch up with my uncle." The voice was cold.

Nanzo Motohiro nodded: "I'll wait for your safe return."

"I will." Miao Yu said, then turned and left without looking back at Nanzo Genxiong.

Before long, Miao Yu arrived at Shen Liushu's house.

The sky was still overcast, but the light was brighter than before.

"Bang bang."

Shen Liushu rubbed her temples when she heard the knocking.

The alcohol has not been completely metabolized.

My head is still a little dizzy.

He picked up the gun, walked to the door, and leaned against the wall: "Who's there?"

"Me." The voice was cold.

Shen Liushu's face lit up with surprise, and she quickly opened the door.

Miao Yu stood in front of the door, her face haggard, her left cheek bruised, but her phoenix eyes still held a bit of spirit.

Shen Liushu strode forward and embraced Miao Yu.

"Hiss." A cold snort.

Shen Liushu quickly let go.

He looked at Miao Yu with a pained expression.

Miao Yu felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the pain in the eyes.

He smiled and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

"kindness."

The two went inside; it was only seven in the morning.

"How much did you drink last night? You still smell so strongly of alcohol." Miao Yu observed Shen Liushu's room.

Put the list on the table.

"Last night, Wei Xiong, Chen Cha, and Xiang Ning saw that I had been promoted, and the three of them conspired to smear me."

"I drank too much," Shen Liushu explained.

"Go take a hot shower first, let me see your injury," Shen Liushu said.

Miao Yu gazed at Shen Liushu: "Okay."

Shen Liushu walked to the bathtub and filled it halfway with cold water.

There are many kettles at home, and they are always full of hot water.

Pour in the hot water.

Miao Yu gently removed her clothes.

My left arm is swollen and bruised. My right back is also swollen and bruised.

Shen Liushu looked distressed.

Miao Yu looked at Shen Liushu gently: "Don't be sad, you'll be fine in a few days."

"I'll go outside and buy you some clothes."

“No, I want to wear yours.” Miao Yufeng looked at Shen Liushu.

"OK."

Miao Yu needs to be soaked for a while.

Shen Liushu went to the side to wash up.

After washing up: "Wait for me at home for a while, I'm going to buy some steamed buns and porridge."

"Uncle Wang downstairs makes very delicious steamed buns."

Miao Yu gazed at Shen Liushu with deep affection.

Shen Liushu strode forward and kissed her tender lips.

They looked at each other, then kissed again, and separated after a long while.

I wrote this novel without fast-forwarding; it's all about the progression of a day's events.

I'll speed up the plot later on.

[I hope readers will be patient.]
