Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

"All right."

"I reflect on my actions; I shouldn't have made such a basic mistake."

"Last night I heard you were homesick, and seeing that you were interested in northern cuisine, I took the liberty of doing it... I forgot, Young Master Wang has never been to the north."

Su Wanjia gave a very serious self-criticism.

This is a fatal mistake and cannot be taken lightly.

"The main reason is still me."

"I shouldn't have tasted those things that day; it made you misunderstand."

"I just want to know, are you really going to feed me nothing but pickled vegetables and cornbread for every meal from now on?"

Seeing how well-behaved and sensible she was, Wang Xuesen took the initiative to take responsibility and humorously changed the subject.

"That depends on your performance."

"If you behave well, I'll be able to go back to eating big meals soon."

"If you don't perform well, I'll continue to go to the club to play cards and dance during the day, and when you come back at night you can only drink noodle soup and eat flatbread."

Su Wanjia finally got what she wanted from him, and couldn't help but feel playful and smug.

It seems that after I left, Wanjia realized what had happened and took many remedial measures.

Big breasts and brains, that's great.

Comrade Wanjia is a good comrade!

The more Wang Xuesen looked at her, the more attractive she became, especially her bright red cherry lips, and he inexplicably wanted to reward her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Seeing Wang Xuesen's gaze growing increasingly intense, Wan Jia took a step back warily and grabbed a vase from the table.

"You're really boring!" Wang Xuesen waved his hand dismissively, calming the ripples in his heart.

"Your little bit of meaning is meaningless!" Su Wanjia snorted.

"If you want to eat something good, that's fine too."

"Didn't you want to meet my parents?"

"Since they're arguing, why don't you invite them over to our house and mediate in front of Xiaomin?"

"Can't we just make up openly and honestly?"

Su Wanjia put down the vase and cleverly steered him back on the right track.

"Hmm, good idea."

"With such a virtuous wife, what more could a man ask for?" Wang Xuesen praised.

"Who is your capable wife?"

"I'm going upstairs to take a shower, you're not allowed to come up!"

Su Wanjia blushed and went upstairs.

"It's not like we haven't seen it before, who cares?" Wang Xuesen stared at her plump, round buttocks and pursed his lips.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll blow you up!"

Su Wanjia wasn't really angry and went upstairs briskly.

night.

Wang Xuesen lay on the rattan chair, tossing and turning with a sore back.

"Any news from Wang Tianmu?" Su Wanjia asked, lying on the large bed and turning to look at him.

"We might have some leads tonight. Let's wait for the call." Wang Xuesen turned around, and the two looked at each other in the darkness.

"What about Principal Tang?" Su Wanjia asked again.

"The boss will need to contact Chen Bulei again, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Wang Xuesen sniffed the air, enjoying the aroma.

I wonder what kind of shampoo this girl uses; it's slightly sweet and delicate.

It smells really good.

"You've been ordering the boss around time and time again. Be careful, or he might get Zhao Lijun to deal with you," Su Wanjia subtly warned.

"Zhao Lijun!"

"I'm not afraid of him at all. My master is Shen Zui, okay?"

"If it really comes down to a one-on-one fight, I'm not afraid of him."

Wang Xuesen sniffed and muttered a disdainful curse.

"You're just bragging. He's a real killer, even Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun tremble at the mere mention of his name."

"Hey, let's get down to business. Try not to contact the boss in the future."

"They all say the boss is unpredictable, both kind and cruel, and that he might kill someone."

Wanjia spoke softly and gently.

She roughly figured out that Wang Xuesen was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force; threatening him with his status as a young lady or a leader wouldn't work, so she could only try to appease him gently.

Ms. Su pays great attention to her work style.

"You don't understand, the squeaky wheel gets the grease."

"It's not that the boss is unwilling to help."

"He just always wins. As long as we can gain face with the Chairman, the boss is actually happy to give us a hand."

This is the Burning Technique and Magic Treasure that Shen Zui personally passed on to Wang Xuesen before his departure.

"Wanjia, you're so beautiful and rich, why don't you find someone to marry and settle down? Why do you have to do this?" Wang Xuesen asked.

"When the Japanese devils came, there was no peace and quiet left."

"Anyway, I'll listen to my mom. 'Oriole' was her old nickname, but now she's given it to me."

"I can't possibly tarnish her reputation."

Su Wanjia thought for a moment, but couldn't seem to come up with any profound reasoning.

"And you, what are you doing this for?" she asked.

"Live!" Wang Xuesen answered without hesitation.

"oh!"

Su Wanjia felt that her question was a bit naive.

Li Yaowa's parents were both under constant surveillance by the Kuomintang secret police.

If he were to become a useless son, his entire family would be wiped out.

After a moment of silence, Su Wanjia asked, "Do you have a cold? Why is your nose always running?"

"No, it's just that your scent helps me sleep better."

"Are you going to moan again tonight?"

Wang Xuesen asked with a smile.

Here we go again, how annoying… Su Wanjia said irritably, “Am I sick? It’s rare that Xiaomin isn’t home, so I can finally rest in peace. You’re the one who’s really suffering, aren’t you?”

"sleep!"

"Okay." Wang Xuesen was a little disappointed.

Another silence followed.

Wang Xuesen stopped sniffling and kept tossing and turning in his rattan chair.

"What's wrong with you again?" Su Wanjia asked.

"It's uncomfortable." Wang Xuesen's breathing was heavy.

"Where does it hurt? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Su Wanjia asked, sitting up.

"Need not."

"It's the prime of my life... I'm so frustrated!" Wang Xuesen sighed softly.

"boring!"

Su Wanjia's heart pounded with anger. She threw off the thin blanket, turned her back, and ignored him.

Men are strange creatures.

Is that trivial matter really that important?

It's not like you can't live without it.

Hate!

……

No. 1221 Yuyuan, a detached villa.

Compared to the luxurious and grand villa, Li Shiqun preferred to stay in the heavily guarded No. 76 family building.

However, he has to meet someone tonight.

soon.

The guard led Liu Xiaomin in through the side door.

"How is it?" Li Shiqun asked without looking up as he practiced calligraphy.

"Director Li."

"Aside from playing cards with his wife and Mrs. Wu, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Xuesen did not have any contact with outsiders," Liu Xiaomin replied.

"Hmm, have they been acting strangely lately?" Li Shiqun paused, looking at her coldly.

If Liu Xiaomin says no, he will immediately execute her and secretly sentence her.

"have!"

Liu Xiaomin dared not meet his cold gaze and reported the truth:

"Su Wanjia is making Wang Xuesen drink medicine."

"One night, the medicine malfunctioned; it seemed Wang Xuesen had taken something bad, and his wife went to the doctor to change the prescription."

"They did not sleep together that night."

"Then, this morning, Madam personally made steamed cake and noodle soup for Wang Xuesen, and Wang Xuesen got angry because he was not satisfied with the breakfast."

"Oh? What did Wang Xuesen say?" Li Shiqun turned his gaze back to the Xuan paper and continued to ask.

"He said something about how he would rise again, but it was too long for me to remember. Anyway, it was something about how he felt his wife looked down on him."

"Su Wanjia also specifically instructed that Wang Xuesen's dinner should be halved in the future, and should be based on the northern style of sorghum and corn cakes with pickled vegetables."

"These are things I secretly recorded: their daily routines and conversations."

Liu Xiaomin obediently handed over the notebook.

Li Shiqun took it, glanced at it, and casually tossed it into the brazier beside him: "I understand, you can go back now."

"Yes, Director." Liu Xiaomin bowed and withdrew.

Li Shiqun picked up his pen and quickly wrote the four characters "True water has no fragrance" on the paper.

Immediately, he kneaded it into a ball and threw it into the brazier, then hurried to the backyard living room.

Inside the living room, a short-haired woman was drinking tea.

It was Chen Bijun, the wife of Wang Jingwei.

"Mrs. Wang, it seems that Wang Xuesen is fine for now."

"According to my informant, he suffered a setback at No. 76, and his improper use of medication caused a rift with Su Wanjia."

"In addition, he received three months' salary in advance today, and also borrowed several thousand yuan in high-interest loans."

"Su Wanjia played cards all day at a French club."

"It seems there are problems in their relationship."

"Wang Xuesen has only been in Shanghai for a few days, and he has already made a mess of things. This is not the quality that a mature thinker should have."

"Therefore, I don't think he poses any threat."

"Honestly, if I were Dai Li, I would be furious with his behavior."

Li Shiqun shook his head, even looking a little disappointed.

He actually hoped that Wang Xuesen was sent by Dai Li.

At least for now, there's nothing challenging.

Li Shiqun even felt that wasting so much effort on Wang Xuesen was an insult to his keen sense of smell.

"Shiqun, you've been too successful lately in dealing a heavy blow to the Military Intelligence Bureau. Pride and arrogance can sometimes blind you," Chen Bijun rebuked him coldly.

"You dog of a woman, how dare you teach me how to be a person and how to do things..." Li Shiqun put away his smile and forced out a hint of unwilling flattery: "What are your thoughts, Madam?"

"What we need to know now is, where did Wang Xuesen go during the time he disappeared?"

"Is the informant who was originally in contact with him alive or dead?"

"Mr. Zhou should have mentioned to you that before Wang Xuesen decided to come to Shanghai, he was carrying out a top-secret mission under my secret orders."

I cannot tell you the specifics.

"But I can tell you that if Wang Xuesen is alright and hands over the clues to me, perhaps the history of China can be rewritten tomorrow."

"Strangely, when Wang Xuesen re-established contact through expedited channels, he never mentioned the mission."

"Don't you find that strange?"

Chen Bijun continued in a superior's tone, asking arrogantly.

"Wang Xuesen has not yet visited you and Mr. Wang in Nanjing."

"Moreover, according to what I understand, he has quite a few grievances against Mr. Wang."

"I don't find it strange at all."

"If this top-secret intelligence is true, it is his trump card. The fact that he didn't visit you and Mr. Wang is most likely because he's waiting for a better price."

"If it were me, I wouldn't easily hand over the business unless I received substantial benefits and had completely established myself in Shanghai."

Li Shiqun picked up his teacup, blew on the tea leaves, and said in a heartfelt manner.

"so."

"You and Mr. Wang don't need to bother with this."

"I arrested him secretly and directly. After a series of interrogations, even if he were made of iron, he would surely confess."

He put down his teacup, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
