Starting from 1950

Chapter 89 Wu Xinxue's Misunderstanding

After Su Yang recounted the events again, Zhang Zhenguo immediately realized that things were not so simple.

Because He Dazhuang was involved.

He was also present when Wang Cui praised He Dazhuang a few days ago, and he knew that this guy had just been transferred to the "Defend the Country" team.

The workshop.

In retrospect, He Dazhuang's transfer was clearly premeditated.

"Pah! You traitor! I hate traitors the most!" Zhang Zhenguo spat on He Dazhuang's corpse.

Captain Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Section Chief Zhang, we need to conduct a joint investigation into this matter. We also need to investigate all the employees of your flour factory."

"Absolutely."

Zhang Zhenguo nodded emphatically.

He Dazhuang's background is clear, but it is unknown whether he became an enemy agent in Beijing or after arriving in Shenzhou.

"Alright! We'll handle the body!" Captain Qian said.

Seeing Natalia's pale face, Su Yang couldn't help but say to Zhang Zhenguo, "Section Chief, these enemy agents are most likely after Comrade Natalia. Our security section needs to send some people to protect her these next few days."

Zhang Zhenguo nodded, "Okay, I'll send two people from one team."

Su Yang shook his head. "Not enough, send a few more!"

Zhang Zhenguo and Captain Qian exchanged a glance and immediately realized that Natalia's identity was definitely not as simple as just an ordinary expert.

"In that case, our public security team will send four more people to work with your security personnel," Captain Qian said.

Su Yang nodded and said nothing more.

Today's events were rather upsetting, and he wasn't in the mood to continue building rapport with Natalia. He then said to Zhang Zhenguo and Captain Qian, "Gentlemen, I've said everything I needed to say. Shall I head back now?"

"Let's go! Be careful on the road!"

Zhang Zhenguo and Captain Qian waved their hands in unison.

Su Yang turned and left; he still needed to find his bicycle.

"Su Yang, thank you!" Natalia suddenly exclaimed.

Su Yang didn't turn around, but waved his hand behind him to indicate that there was no need to be polite.

When he got home, Wu Xinxue was kneading dough, obviously to make steamed buns.

"I'm a little tired, I'll lie down for a while!" Su Yang took off his cotton coat and threw it on the side of the bed before crawling into the covers.

Wu Xinxue paused for a moment, then muttered, "So impulsive."

She reached out and picked up the cotton coat that had slipped off the bedside table, then brushed off the dust.

Suddenly noticing something hard in her pocket, she couldn't help but reach inside.

"Huh? What's this?"

She gently lifted the red and gold-embossed cardboard box, and a calm yet rich floral fragrance wafted out.

Inside is a small, transparent glass bottle, square with rounded edges, which feels slightly cool and heavy in the hand.

The glass bottle has rounded shoulders and a dark red frosted glass stopper on the neck. The bottle body is covered with a beige oval gold-stamped label with Russian text and a delicate scroll pattern around the edge.

"yke TVMnepaTpnybi!"

"Queen's bouquet?"

Wu Xinxue glanced at the words on the bottle, and her peach blossom eyes widened instantly.

This is perfume!

She borrowed some newspapers from Big Brother's place when she was learning Russian, and they had featured her there.

This tiny bottle, when converted to local currency, is worth over 30!

"That stinky Su Yang! He's wasting money again!"

She instinctively felt that Su Yang had bought it for her, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Su Yang, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and muttered a complaint under her breath.

Her little face turned rosy, and her eyes held a gentle smile.

Su Yang ignored Wu Xinxue at this moment, and instead focused entirely on sharing his vision with Xiaoyu.

After the gunfight ended, Xiaoyu led Zhang Zhenguo and the others back to the vicinity of Tiexi Square.

Su Yang immediately sent Xiaoyu to find the escaped enemy agents.

As for why he didn't tell Zhang Zhenguo and Captain Qian about this when they were at the scene?

He Dazhuang is involved; there's a 100% chance there's a mole inside the flour mill.

Su Yang couldn't be sure if the mole wasn't among the dozen or so security guards Zhang Zhenguo had brought.

Moreover, that enemy agent might have accomplices hiding among the crowds in the surrounding shops.

What if we had spoken up then and alerted them?

A farmhouse courtyard on the west side of Tiexi District.

The two men rushed to the front door, panting heavily before rhythmically knocking.

Several almost inaudible footsteps came from behind the door. It seemed that the person inside had been peering through the crack in the door for a while before opening it.

"Boss! Mission failed..."

"

"Shut up! Come inside and we'll talk!"

Just as one of them was about to speak, Gray Rat immediately reprimanded him, then carefully looked outside the door before pulling the two inside and slamming the gate shut.

Gray Rat noticed that two of his men were pale and one of them was trembling slightly, which made his heart sink.

However, he did not ask any questions immediately, but instead gestured for the two to follow, and then the three of them went into the house together.

Unbeknownst to them, a pure white eagle was circling a thousand meters above their heads, its eyes revealing a human-like excitement.

"Found the mouse nest!"

Su Yang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes with a smile on his lips.

"What? Mice? There are mice in the house again?" Wu Xinxue almost instinctively wanted to take off her shoes and jump onto the bed.

"No! I was talking about things at the factory!"

Su Yang quickly explained, feeling somewhat helpless. He had killed so many rats, yet Wu Xinxue was still terrified at the mere mention of rats.

Wu Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled her eyes and said seriously, "Su Yang, you've been wasting money again!"

Let me tell you, extravagance and wastefulness are unacceptable!

"Wasting money?" Su Yang didn't understand for a moment.

"Hmph! Still pretending? I've already seen through you!"

Wu Xinxue held out her hand, which she had been hiding behind her back, to Su Yang's eyes. "Explain this."

Su Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he began to stammer, "I...I...this is..."

His mind raced as he considered how to say it.

Tell the truth?

He had a feeling that if he said he was following Zhou Zheng's orders to curry favor with Natalia, Wu Xinxue would probably ignore him for at least a week.

Just as he was panicking and didn't know how to explain it...

Wu Xinxue brought the perfume bottle close to her nose and smelled it, then smiled and said, "You have a good eye for shopping. I really like this perfume."

"Huh?" Su Yang's expression froze.

"How much did this thing cost?" Wu Xinxue asked again.

"32..." Su Yang realized that Wu Xinxue had misunderstood, so he quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xinxue's face showed a hint of heartache, and she held the perfume bottle even more carefully.

She didn't continue to blame Su Yang, but carefully chose her words and said, "You donated all our family's money before. Fortunately, we got paid today, and I collected both of our salaries together, which adds up to over a million. There's still a little over a month until Chinese New Year. Aunt Mei will be spending it with us this year, and maybe Aunt Wang will join us too. You can't be so extravagant these days!"

She chattered on for a while, and seeing Su Yang nod repeatedly, she stretched contentedly. "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you?"

Su Yang then remembered that he still had important things to do.

"I won't be eating at home tonight; I have business with the factory manager."

He was getting dressed as he spoke, and in just a few dozen seconds, by the time Wu Xinxue remembered to stop him and ask what was going on, he had already rushed out of the house.

"Still as clumsy as ever!"
