The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 242 Mischievous Yet Excellent
Wei Xiong, holding a black umbrella, waved and hailed a rickshaw.

The location was given.

The driver hunched over, pushing off with his feet to move forward quickly.

He was oblivious to the rain hitting his face, and instead smiled.

It's good to be able to find a job that makes you happy.

Wei Xiong arrived at an alleyway.

After getting off the bus and paying the fare, I walked slowly forward and turned into an alley.

Stand still.

Wait fifteen minutes.

He peeked back the way he came and made sure no one was following him.

Then they came to a house and took a key out of the bricks under the window.

I opened the door and went inside.

Dim sunlight filtered through the window, making visibility fairly clear.

The room was small and had very little furniture.

A 1.2-meter-wide bed lies across the corner.

He grabbed the bed tie with his large hand and pulled the bed out.

I crouched down and counted from the corner of the wall: the fourth row, the seventh brick.

With a gentle tap, he then took out two bricks.

Inside was a solid wood box; I picked it up by the handle with my fingers.

It was placed on the only table in the middle.

Open it, and inside lie two Continental pistols lying quietly.

A few small boxes of bullets. A few rolls of cash. Two gold bars.

He took out a pistol, then some bullets, and loaded them.

He put the two bottles of medicine that Shen Liushu had given him into the box.

Then the box was put back in its original place, and the bed was put back in its original position.

I stepped out of the small room, holding an umbrella.

Xu walked back to the street, looking around.

This alleyway is very secluded, unlike Shen Liushu's house, which can be observed from a distance.

After confirming everything was in order, we boarded another rickshaw.

Walking into an alley, the fourth courtyard.

It belongs to the innermost part.

The bricks and tiles are mottled, and the walls are old.

Squat down and take the fifth brick from the fourth layer next to the door. No need to knock, the surrounding soft mud has already loosened the brick.

Inside, a key lies quietly.

Take out the key and insert the brick.

I opened the door and went inside; the courtyard was lush with vegetation.

This is the place I told Red Rose about, which means she has already been here.

Wei Xiong came to this small courtyard because he was waiting for Red Rose to come back to him.

He now has two tasks. The first is that the director has arranged for him to infiltrate the Japanese Special Higher Police.

The second task is to help Shen Liushu find out if there's anything fishy about those two bottles of medicine.
It rained all day, so Wei Xiong decided to go to his room and sleep for the night.

I'll contact my classmate again tomorrow.

................................................

Zhou Manli walked into the room, her snow-white calves exposed.

Liu Xiong gazed tenderly at his wife's fair and rosy face: "Manli, you're getting younger and younger. Those skincare products really do work."

When Zhou Manli returned home from the Statistics Bureau, she washed herself in a wooden basin.

Shen Lang's trillions slowly emerged from the base area.

Afterwards, I took a beauty nap.

Dinner was cooked by Wang Ma.

After having dinner with Liu Xiong, Zhou Manli kept an eye on the child's studies.

After putting the child to sleep as usual, I went into the room and heard Liu Xiong praising me.

Thinking about Shen Lang's nourishment made it even more effective.

A smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Really?" She took a few steps cheerfully and looked at herself in the mirror.

A fair and rosy complexion with radiant skin appeared in the mirror.

She turned around and looked at her figure again; she had a curvaceous figure with a prominent bust and buttocks.

He showed a satisfied expression.

Liu Xiong gazed intently at his beautiful wife, whose abdomen remained taut and flat despite having given birth.

She doesn't resemble those plump women with round bellies at all.

"Manli, you're aging in reverse."

"You're getting younger and more beautiful." The voice was soft and sincere.

Zhou Manli smiled slightly: "Old Liu, do you like it?"

Looking at his full, beautiful buttocks in the mirror, Shen Lang slapped his own buttocks vigorously this afternoon.

I don't know if the red mark has been removed yet.

Recalling the violent collision on the table, her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of lingering reminiscence.

She swayed her graceful hips, slowly moved to the bedside, and gently slipped into the covers.

Liu Xiong reached out and pulled his fragrant wife into his arms: "Manli, I heard that something big happened at the Statistics Bureau today."

Zhou Manli remained calm, without the slightest change in expression. It was normal for some subordinates to still hold him in high regard, given that Liu Xiong had previously been the director of the Statistics Bureau.

Some people no longer want to work hard at the statistics bureau; many want to go to the industry and commerce bureau instead.

Liu Xiong didn't know how much inside information he had heard.

Therefore, Zhou Manli never intended to hide it.

"Lisheng and I discussed this matter today."

Wen Xiansi was burned alive by Shen Liushu.

“I’m also one of the masterminds,” Zhou Manli said slowly.

At this point, she got up from Liu Xiong's arms, straightened her body, and leaned against the headboard.

She stretched out her slender fingers and tidied a wisp of messy hair.

It makes her even more graceful and charming.

His expression was rather cold.

Liu Xiong quickly sat up: "Manli, don't overthink it. I'm not blaming you for getting involved in this."

Zhou Manli glanced at Liu Xiong with her beautiful eyes and squeezed Liu Xiong's large hand with her delicate hand.

"On the one hand, Shen Liushu is my savior, whether you value it or not is irrelevant."

"But he saved my life."

"I have a strict family upbringing and I understand the importance of gratitude."

"Secondly, it is for the sake of establishing a livelihood."

“Lisheng is somewhat lacking in magnanimity and moral character. Now that he holds real power, he should cultivate his virtue even more.”

"His use of poisoned saw teeth was a mistake."

“Wen Xiansi, I know him very well. He has been my neighbor since childhood.”

There are some things I haven't told you, but you definitely know them.

"His character has been questionable since he was a child."

"Back then, I didn't agree to his family's marriage proposal because I didn't think highly of Wen Xiansi's character."

“If Lisheng continues to use him, he will cut his own throat.”

"Being the second-in-command at the statistics bureau is different from being the top leader."

"When you have real power, the first thing you must guard against is the thought of killing."

The first thing to cultivate is virtue.

"I was also a key factor in Wen Xiansi being killed by Shen Liushu."

"It was I who invited Wen Xiansi to the Statistics Bureau's private warehouse."

"As a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, I shouldn't have done this."

"But as Lisheng's older sister, and the only time my savior asked me for a favor."

"I have to do it."

"Old Liu, I hope you can understand me." Zhou Manli stopped talking at this point.

Liu Xiong looked at Zhou Manli gently: "I don't blame you."

"I'm just worried about you. Don't take risks yourself next time."

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

"What if Shen Liushu and Wen Xiansi fight and you, an innocent person, get hurt?" The voice was gentle.

Zhou Manli nodded: "Yes, it won't happen again."

As she spoke, she tilted her head and leaned against Liu Xiong's shoulder.

Liu Xiong gently rubbed his face against Wu Moxiang's hair.

Upon hearing this news today, Liu Xiong was also very shocked.

Shen Liushu was locked in a dark room.

Zhou Manli also went to the Statistics Bureau and stayed in a small dark room for half an hour.

Liu Xiong didn't suspect anything had happened between them, but some of the rumors were unpleasant.

Zhou Manli said softly, "After Wen Xiansi was burned alive..."

"I talked to Lisheng."

"Lisheng also knows my good intentions."

"Let me go and talk to Shen Liushu."

"I went to Shen Liushu's solitary confinement room and told Shen Liushu Lisheng's intentions little by little."

"Lisheng meant that Shen Liushu should insist that Wen Xiansi was a Japanese spy."

"It was Lisheng's idea to interrogate Bai Yu at that time."

“Wen Xiansi’s actions were too outrageous, so I explained it to Shen Liushu again.”

Liu Xiong listened as his wife explained everything to him in great detail.

He felt his wife's respect for him.

"Yes, you must be careful about your safety from now on," Liu Xiong said gently.

“Okay, I’ll listen to my husband.” Zhou Manli said with a smile.

The two turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the pitch-black night, Zhou Manli listened to Liu Xiong's snoring.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with longing. Shen Lang, you are truly wonderful.

His gun assembly skills were as transcendent as those of a god.

His marksmanship is irresistible to women!

The mischievous yet excellent Shen Lang...
