Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Li Shih-Chun was actually annoyed by Wang Zhaoming and his wife, who had given him a rude "prescription," and he was too lazy to waste words with Chen Bi-Jun.

This stupid woman wants to meddle in everything.

Everyone can see clearly that Mr. Wang is in poor health, and Chen Bijun's frequent involvement in such matters suggests she might be trying to become "Empress Wu Zetian".

Moreover, whether Wang Xuesen had intelligence that could overturn the situation was none of his business.

His backer is the Japanese.

All they had to do was seize the Military Intelligence Bureau, wait for the Japanese to completely overthrow Chiang Kai-shek, and then they could enjoy the fruits of his labor and the riches he had earned.

At the same time, he believed that Wang Xuesen would only bring out his trump card when the Japanese were at a disadvantage, and it was impossible for him to hand it over at this time.

Therefore, at least for now, he and Wang Xuesen have no conflict of interest.

"You want to get rid of him?"

"I advise you not to think that way. This mission is on the desk of Tada Shun, commander of the North China Expeditionary Army."

"Furthermore, I suspect that Wang Xuesen had private dealings with Japanese spies in Chongqing."

"So, he'd better not get into any trouble."

"If you don't interrogate him, we can investigate further and perhaps we can still find something. If we really resort to torture, he will refuse to confess even if we beat him to death. If this alerts the Japanese, many people will suffer."

Chen Bijun knew his little scheme and sneered.

She wasn't afraid that Wang Xuesen was holding out for a high price; she was afraid that the kid was a fake, a spy, or that he had taken this intelligence to his grave.

After all, if that intelligence is true, it would also be a trump card for both myself and Mr. Wang.

"Understood."

"We can't kill them, and interrogating them too much would just cause more trouble."

"Madam, just give me your instructions. What do you want me to do?" Li Shiqun lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.

"I know you have a trump card hidden in the mountain city called 'Big Buddha'."

"We can get a lot of top-secret intelligence."

"I would like to ask you to activate 'The Great Buddha' and investigate any clues about Wang Xuesen in the mountain city, especially the women he came into contact with before his disappearance."

"Also, check if he has any connections with the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"If he was indeed recruited by the Military Intelligence Bureau, during the time he disappeared, the places where the Military Intelligence Bureau conducted secret training were nothing more than the silk reeling factories. Finding clues shouldn't be difficult."

"If it can be confirmed that he is a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, then the intelligence is very likely a cover-up, and he betrayed my liaison officer in the mountain city."

"Of course, even if you find a clue, you must not act on your own; you must report it to Mr. Wang."

"After all, if the commander remembers this matter someday, we need to give him an explanation."

Chen Bijun, with her hands behind her back, gave her subordinates a general order.

"Ha, even you know about 'The Great Buddha,' what a load of bull, a top-secret intelligence agent." Li Shiqun felt a surge of anger.

The giant Buddha is a sharp knife that I planted in the mountain city.

How did Chen Bijun find out?

"You seem quite dissatisfied?" Chen Bijun frowned, displeased.

"Madam, is this Mr. Wang's intention?" Li Shiqun asked, forcing a smile.

"Of course," Chen Bijun said.

"Your subordinate obeys." Li Shiqun suppressed his anger and bowed.

He knew that Ding Mocun was still around, the CC Clique had not been eliminated, and he still relied on Wang Jingwei's support, so it was far from time to break off relations.

Tolerate!

Tolerate!

……

The next day, early in the morning.

When Wang Xuesen opened his eyes, Wanjia was no longer in bed.

After washing up.

Wang Xuesen, wearing a white shirt, came downstairs, where Wanjia served breakfast.

It was still the same fragrant red date steamed cake, donkey roll, and millet porridge.

"Miss, there's no need to be so serious," Wang Xuesen said, rolling up his sleeves and adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses.

"I don't want to ask you, nor do I want to know why you like northern food."

All I know is that you like it.

"Although we're just pretending to be husband and wife, as comrades-in-arms, I still hope you can treat this place as your own home."

"Xiaomin isn't here, so feel free to eat."

I'll clean it up later.

Su Wanjia sat down opposite him, picked up a piece of steamed cake, broke it in half, and started eating.

"Wan'er, thank you!" Wang Xuesen bit his lip lightly and nodded vigorously.

He didn't say anything more.

He began to eat heartily.

In his previous life, he was a northerner. In a foreign land, he longed for the simple home-cooked food his mother used to steam, but he never got to eat it before he died.

Wan'er's steamed food tasted a bit bitter.

But that doesn't matter. This was the most reassuring and delicious breakfast Wang Xuesen had ever eaten in this world.

Throughout the meal, he didn't say a word, only eating with his head down, concealing the deep longing in his eyes.

Su Wanjia watched him quietly, and apart from adding more porridge, she did not disturb him in the slightest.

She could sense the repression in Wang Xuesen's heart.

She didn't know what it was, and she didn't want to know.

But it must be very heavy.

"Wan'er, don't go out today. Old Du will call home later if he has any news."

"Call me back when you've obtained the intelligence."

After finishing his breakfast, Wang Xuesen instantly snapped out of his homesickness and gave his instructions.

"The usual, tea leaves," Su Wanjia nodded.

"Um!"

As usual, Wang Xuesen wanted to kiss her forehead to say goodbye.

Su Wanjia instinctively shrank back and dodged.

Wang Xuesen smiled sadly: "Sorry, I forgot Xiaomin wasn't here."

"It's okay, be careful and get home safely."

Su Wanjia picked up his briefcase and handed it to him.

"Thanks!"

Wang Xuesen gave a polite but distant reply and left.

"Xuesen, it's Wednesday today, there's a regular meeting, bring a tie!"

Su Wanjia suddenly remembered something, turned around and went upstairs to get a red tie, walked up to him, and stood on tiptoe to tie it carefully for him.

Wang Xuesen looked at her and chuckled, "I can do it myself, no need to trouble you, Miss."

"Don't move!"

"Really, you don't need to!"

"I told you not to move!" Wanjia was a little angry.

She felt that her relationship with Wang Xuesen was strange.

Getting too close can be awkward.

It's hard to go far away.

Every time Wang Xuesen called her "Miss" in such a businesslike manner, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. It wasn't pain, but she just felt uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay." Wang Xuesen raised his head and blinked, but he wouldn't look at her.

"Alright." Su Wanjia looked him over.

He has a stylish, slightly wavy fringe, a well-defined, fair face, and is dressed in gold-rimmed glasses and a formal suit, yet he also has a wicked and mischievous smile.

That handsome jerk, so incredibly handsome.

Oh, the scumbag is Wang Ershao, the handsome one is Xuesen.

Thanks.

"I'm running out of time, I have to go."

He grabbed his briefcase, jumped into his car, and sped away.

"Why are you driving so fast? I'm not a tigress, I'm not going to eat you up." Su Wanjia pouted and stormed into the house without looking back.

……

mountain city.

Jia Jinnan appeared on the balcony once again.

Unlike last time, he kept his head down and didn't even dare to breathe.

This Wang Xuesen has gone mad.

For the sake of a soup pot, they actually went to the boss again.

What does this guy take the boss for?

Do you want to order your underlings around?

What's most infuriating is that Du Song, who has been steady and reliable all his life, actually dared to send an urgent telegram and join in the nonsense.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Shanghai is a toxic place, it's good for ruining people's brains, isn't it?

After reading the telegram, Dai Li put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly, "He's deliberately going against the grain. This kid is betting that Li Shiqun will release the man. Interesting."

"Boss, I'll send an urgent telegram to the newly appointed head of the Shanghai District, Chen Gongshu, and have him reprimand and warn Du Song in person right away."

"That's ridiculous."

"That's too childish!"

"He doesn't look like an old Kuomintang agent at all."

"Even if you want to make a contribution, even if it's a brilliant plan, you can't keep bothering the boss."

Jia Jinnan said indignantly.

"Alright, you don't need to speak up for them anymore." Dai Li raised his hand to stop him.

"Old Du is a useful person, but he's too old-fashioned and lacks any risky or unconventional moves."

"Furthermore, they lack the ability to coordinate and manage independently."

"Walking headlong into the tiger's den!"

"Put yourself in a do-or-die situation, and you will survive!"

"That's the fearlessness of a newborn calf, the courage of youth."

"Wang Xuesen reminds me of the audacious Shen Zui!"

Dai Li gazed at the distant mountains, his tone calm, showing that he was not angry at being offended.

"Yes, after all, Shen Zui taught me personally."

"They didn't learn the good things, but they learned all the bad things."

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Jia Jinnan breathed a sigh of relief, subtly offering his support while openly mocking.

Everyone knows that the boss's most beloved subordinate is Shen Zui.

The boss actually compared Wang Xuesen to Shen Zui; he must be interested.

This is great news!

"Since we've already placed a heavy bet on Wang Xuesen, we'll have to put him to the test."

"Isn't he going to bet on Li Shiqun?"

"Okay, I'll support him."

"If I lose, it's just that Xu Enzeng laughed at my incompetence; if I win, perhaps Wang Xuesen is the key to unlocking the predicament in Shanghai!"

Dai Li's long-dormant gambler nature was completely awakened at this moment.

"yes!"

"I will go find Mr. Yanji right away." Jia Jinnan was overjoyed and accepted the order.

"Old Jia, you've been laughing a lot lately." Dai Li tossed the intelligence report into his arms.

"I've been feeling a bit disappointed since I've seen you personally place bets, Boss."

"I was overcome with emotion."

Jia Jinnan quickly replied.

"Go!" Dai Li waved his hand.

After Jia Jinnan left, Dai Li's brows relaxed, and he sighed softly, looking up at the sky:

"How I wish he were the next Xue Wen or Shen Zui."

"Courageous and resourceful, my Fengxiao and Dian Wei!"
