Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Chapter 23 Heading Towards the Tiger's Den

"Madam, I, I'll tidy up." Xiaomin carefully tidied up the clutter.

Su Wanjia bit her lip lightly, her eyes brimming with tears.

I've grown up so much, and I've never made breakfast for my parents or brother myself. Last night, thinking of Wang Xuesen's lonely and helpless situation, I decided to treat him better.

I got up early this morning and spent a long time fussing around in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, instead of praise, I was met with a barrage of unreasonable and abusive insults.

At first, she felt disheartened and aggrieved.

However, after Wang Xuesen yelled at her a few times, Su Wanjia immediately came to her senses.

She and Wang Xuesen were not a real couple, and there was no question of either looking down on the other.

not good!

She instantly realized that she had made a serious mistake.

Leaving aside why Wang Xuesen liked northern cuisine, as far as I can recall, the second young master Wang had no experience going to the north, which could very well be a point of suspicion for Li Shiqun.

Of course, she didn't know that Wang Xuesen was more wary of Dai Li.

"Xiaomin, starting today, whenever your husband is home, halve the food portions and try to cook Northern-style dishes, like steamed buns, sweet potatoes, and cornbread," Su Wanjia said expressionlessly.

"Okay." Liu Xiaomin nodded.

"snort!"

"What the hell? This down-on-his-luck brat dares to lecture me!"

"I'm going to the club later, so don't make lunch for me."

Su Wanjia gave a few instructions, went upstairs to put on beautiful makeup, and then went out, swaying her shapely hips.

As Liu Xiaomin watched the departing lady, her heart sank.

It seems that the wife and husband's relationship is in trouble.

Clubs are places where playboys congregate.

Hey!

Poor sir.

Although they only spent a few days together, Xiaomin had a good impression of Wang Xuesen.

Funny and considerate.

During meals, they would tell interesting stories, ask about and show concern for their family and living conditions, and often give tips.

Although he can be a bit annoying and sometimes tries to take advantage of people, Mr. Stem is a really good person.

During the day, when the other wives were playing cards at home, they joked that their husband was a "son-in-law who married into the family." The wife also complained that her husband had been expelled from the family register and that he was having a bad time working at No. 76.

It seems that this is largely the case now.

A son-in-law who has fallen out of favor will ultimately have no status. Once he is promoted and his future is uncertain, he will immediately be disliked by the young lady.

This world...

Su Wanjia went out and reviewed her words and actions. She secretly prayed that Xiaomin was not a professionally trained agent, but just an ordinary informant placed by No. 76.

These temporary remedies can fool her.

"No, I need to go home and discuss a solution with my mom." Su Wanjia hailed a rickshaw and headed straight for the Su family mansion.

……

Wang Xuesen arrived at the office.

After drinking tea and contemplating for a moment, he suddenly got up and went straight to the accounting office.

Ye Yaoxian was drinking tea and reading the newspaper when he saw Wang Xuesen. He put down the newspaper and joked, "Xuesen, I heard from Yang Jie that your wife was unhappy last night. How come she wasn't kicked out of bed?"

"Old Ye, don't mention it."

He looked around and said, "Could you give me an advance on three months' salary? I'm almost out of money."

"No way, bro."

"The Su family is wealthy; how could your brother possibly be short of money?"

Ye Yaoxian smiled with disbelief.

Wang Xuesen gave a self-deprecating laugh: "What do you think?"

"I thought Mr. Wang would give me an important position, but now that Tang Huimin has caused trouble, I've been humiliated, and I guess I can't count on the Su family anymore."

"A businessman...heh."

"I'll stop here for now. I'll pay you back once I get the money."

"Okay. I'll give you the money first, but it's not enough for a drink at a nightclub. Here's my business card, you can try it if you need money."

"The interest rate is a bit high, but at least I can spend it more freely."

Ye Yaoxian handed him a business card.

Wang Xuesen took a look and saw it: Sihai Money House? A loan sharking operation.

I reckon it's an underground business run by Li Shiqun and his gang.

"Alright, go to the finance office and collect your money." Ye Yaoxian handed over the slip of paper with a smile.

"Thanks, Lao Ye."

Wang Xuesen feigned gratitude and joy, and hurriedly went out.

……

come back to the office.

He leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, trying to relax.

Combined with the fact that Wanjia went to get the medicine that night, there was "nothing happening" all night.

With Jia Tang Huimin under pressure, the future is uncertain.

Short of money, he borrowed from loan sharks.

The negative buffs are almost maxed out.

This is enough to prove that under pressure, Su Wanjia developed a rift with her drunken self from last night.

The shop assistant's snobbish nature is evident.

Well, with so much information, even if Xiaomin does see through something and tells on us, she should be able to cover it up.

However, these negative news items are actually a good thing for me.

They are in a weak position.

For Dingmo Village, this is the perfect opportunity to seize it.

As for Li Shih-Chun, he could ignore him and relax his vigilance, at least he wouldn't have to invest a lot of monitoring energy in him, this "useless" person.

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Xuesen skipped work, pretending to go to the theater to listen to music, and drove past a pharmacy.

He saw a sign hanging at the door saying "Tiger Whip" had arrived, parked his car, and walked straight in with his hands in his pockets.

There's news from Lao Du's side.

"Boss, do you have tiger penis in stock? Let me take a look," Wang Xuesen asked.

"have."

"But you know this stuff isn't easy to get, and the price... sir, how about we talk inside?" Du Song said with a sly smile.

"good!"

Wang Xuesen followed him into the consultation room.

"Any news from Wang Tianmu and Tang Zengyang?" Wang Xuesen asked as he sat down.

"have."

"Wang Tianmu is hiding at No. 22, Jinghua New Village, Julu Road, French Concession. According to reliable sources, Boss Dai has agreed to Zhao Lijun's request for a secret execution."

"Moreover, I have an informant, and Zhao Lijun will take action tonight."

Du Song poured him some tea, sat down, and said...

"I suggest you give up on rescuing Wang Tianmu," he said, adjusting his glasses.

"No need, I will arrange the rescue tonight." Wang Xuesen refused without even thinking.

Dai Li was clearly betting on both ends.

If Zhao Lijun assassinated Wang Tianmu, it would be beneficial in deterring traitors.

On the contrary, if Wang Xuesen had the ability to rescue him, the kill order would make the incident seem more real and would help Wang Tianmu to genuinely pledge allegiance to and assist Wang Xuesen.

For Dai Li, it would be a good thing if either of these two succeeded.

Balance, moderation.

Dai Li truly grasped the essence of Chiang Kai-shek's methods of managing people and handling affairs.

"Why!"

Dussop, who has never been one to take risks, sighed.

"How is Tang Zengyang from Mingguang Middle School doing?" Wang Xuesen asked again.

"Chen Bulei put pressure on Xu Enzeng."

"The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) is willing to cooperate with the operation."

"The problem is that Tang Zengyang has a bad temper and is wary of everyone. People from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) couldn't persuade him in the past."

"Also, the Special Police Bureau and the Security Police Force have been conducting very strict checks recently, making it difficult to relocate."

Du Song said with a bit of a headache.

"Okay, then you should talk to the boss about these two things."

"First, let's see if Mr. Chen Bulei can find some poems or phrases that only he and Tang know, as evidence."

"Second, have Xu Enzeng select two Central Bureau of Investigation 'bait' that Li Shiqun has his eye on to contact Tang Zengyang."

"Then walk from Hongkou Railway Station."

Wang Xuesen had a flash of inspiration and made a decisive decision.

"You're insane!"

"Isn't this blatantly telling Li Shih-chun that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) is conducting a rescue operation?"

"Zhang Yuan, the second police chief at Hongkou Railway Station, is Li Shiqun's staunch confidant. Are you trying to send Mr. Tang into the lion's den?"

Juniper found this suicidal suggestion utterly unbelievable.

Wang Xuesen must have lost his mind.
