Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

8:30 a.m.

Wang Xuesen entered his office on time, listened to the radio, read the newspaper, and drank tea, all while pondering Qingfu's intelligence.

Qingfu was rescued from the police station by Wang Ershao back then.

It's true that Wang Ershao is a lecherous man, but he is also quite loyal and has a keen business sense. He made connections with many Americans early on through his connections in the Nationalist government and secretly traded fashion and luxury goods.

Of course, Wang Ershao didn't sell these things to make money, but to show off and pick up girls.

After arriving in the mountain city, Wang Ershao entrusted all his connections and channels to his follower Qingfu.

This chubby kid knows how to get things done. He's doing really well with the foreigners, and despite his young age, he's quite a figure in the black market now.

The American goods that Wang Xuesen recently gave to his wives were all obtained by Qingfu.

Judging from the black market price, Qingfu not only didn't make any money, but probably even lost a lot of money, which shows that this guy hasn't forgotten the friendship from back then.

This is also why Wang Xuesen dared to seek him out and sell him intelligence.

After all, even a hero needs three helpers. Shanghai is a mixed bag, and you can't get anything done by going it alone.

There is no such thing as a free lunch where you can enjoy resources without taking any risks.

Qingfu's information was simple: white roses.

Wang Xuesen knew this woman.

White Rose was her nickname; her real name was Lu Xiuying.

The dancers at the White Rose Ballroom are beautiful, sexy, and famous socialites and female hooligans, with close ties to high-ranking members of the Green Gang.

Therefore, people in the underworld also called her "Old Seven Lu".

It is said that this woman was especially skilled in bed, and every man who slept with her never forgot her.

Lu Xiuying is Ji Yunqing's concubine Xiao Yufeng's "best friend". They are both the kind of girls who are easy to get.

Wang Xuesen cannot directly contact Ji Yunqing and Xiao Yufeng.

If the assassination succeeds, it will be easy for Li Shiqun to find out.

Targeting Lu Xiuying is undoubtedly the best option.

"Hmm, it's perfect timing to 'promote' Old Du's Pharmacy. It's time to establish its reputation as a friend to women and an invincible sharpshooter." Wang Xuesen closed his French book and pondered for a moment.

His gaze fell on the calendar.

9 month 10 day.

In the blink of an eye, I've been in Shanghai for over a month.

"Ding ding".

Lin Zhijiang knocked on the door, closed it, and came in: "Xuesen, good news. Old Wang secretly met with Ding Mocun last night and agreed to join No. 76."

"The one who vouched for and recommended him was Section Chief Suzuki of the Special Higher Police."

"I should be able to start work this afternoon."

"Furthermore, Director Ding plans to establish a four-department system to completely take power back from Li Shiqun."

"Hehe, our chance has come."

"We can't be careless. The Special Higher Police have limited influence over the Mei Agency and the Military Police, but it's good to stir things up first," Wang Xuesen nodded.

"How much money did Director Ding give Old Wang?" he suddenly asked.

"Eight hundred."

"Eight hundred?"

"Back then, it cost two thousand yuan to persuade Tang Zengyang to surrender. Is Old Wang, a district chief, only worth that little money?" Wang Xuesen was dumbfounded.

"There's nothing we can do; Li Shih-Chun won't approve the funding."

"Old Ding is crying poor again."

"Also, Old Wang is desperate and his net worth is nowhere near what it was when he was first arrested. Old Ding is reluctant to even give him this eight hundred yuan."

"I kept rambling on and on the way back."

Lin Zhijiang curled his lip and said with a look of disdain.

Wang Xuesen sighed inwardly, "Ding Mocun... this man is beyond help."

He spends tens of thousands of yuan on clothes, houses, and flowers for his lover, but he only gives Wang Tianmu, such an important person, eight hundred yuan.

At least give me a thousand to round it up.

If this gets out, wouldn't it be a huge embarrassment and make us a laughing stock?

Hey!

"It's alright, I'll cover Lao Wang's expenses."

"He came for us, we can't let him down."

Wang Xuesen thought for a moment and said.

"Brother, you're a true friend."

"After all, he's my former boss, we have to get him back."

"Count me in."

"I'm short on cash. This was stolen from a robbery last night, and it's all here."

Lin Zhijiang took out some coins and some bills from his pocket, and put together more than 600 yuan.

"Dude, you!" Wang Xuesen's eyes widened, somewhat speechless.

"Don't worry, I only robbed one of the Bai family's concubines. She was having an affair with someone else at the time, so she definitely wouldn't dare to make a fuss."

"I heard that the eldest son of the Bai family has some grudge against you."

"This doesn't count as a violation of our internal rules, does it?"

Lin Zhijiang asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother." Wang Xuesen nodded.

……

in the afternoon.

Wang Xuesen picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is this the receptionist at the White Rose Ballroom? Will Miss Lu be there tonight?"

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xuesen took out a small bottle from the drawer. Inside were pills that Lao Du had made for him using highly nourishing ingredients such as tiger penis and deer antler.

Eating a handful of it can help boost combat effectiveness.

These days, tiger penis is the real deal.

Wang Xuesen ate a few pills with water, then tidied his hair in front of the mirror, buttoned up his shirt, and put on a shiny white suit.

Yeah, he's pretty handsome.

Let's do it!

……

7:30 p.m.

Wang Xuesen, Wu Sibao, and Yang Jie arrived at the White Rose Ballroom.

Upon entering the dance hall, the smell of smoke mixed with alcohol and perfume hit you. Fortunately, the rouge and face powder of this era were generally slightly sweet and elegant, so they didn't make you feel dizzy or nauseous.

As soon as Wang Xuesen entered the dance hall, he snapped his fingers and rhythmically began to sway his hips, his face close to the faces of several dancers.

After dancing for a while, he casually slipped a tip into one of the dancers' breasts and returned to his booth.

moment.

Wearing a veil and a fishtail skirt, the stunningly beautiful White Rose entered the stage amidst whistles and applause, singing and dancing to cheerful jazz accompaniment.

She sang "My Love is the Spring Breeze".

As her waist stretched, her mostly snow-white breasts trembled violently with the dance moves.

Beneath her slender waist and short, ruffled skirt were a pair of shapely, snow-white legs.

Every frown and smile is captivating.

Occasionally, with a spin or a leg lift, glimpses of white skin beneath the skirt can be seen.

This made the patrons below thirsty, yet they couldn't help but cheer repeatedly.

"I heard that White Rose has slept with half of the most prominent men in Shanghai. Xuesen, you used to be a veteran of the pleasure quarters, have you had your fill?" Yang Jie asked, seemingly greedy and lustful.

"You bastard, you're always trying to extract information from me. I'll kill you sooner or later..." Wang Xuesen cursed under his breath, then chuckled and sighed, "Back then, I was so focused on pursuing Wanjia. Ah, youth is the best time to appreciate a married woman."

"Your brother-in-law is a very influential figure now, you should know that, right?" He shifted the topic to Wu Sibao.

Wu Sibao wanted to try his luck, but he lacked the strength.

With Bai Meigui's big mouth, she must have changed at least a hundred men a year. If word got out, Wu Sibao's reputation as a "Super Boy" would probably be known throughout the city.

To put it bluntly, you need to have real power to get into White Rose's bed.

"Hey, you all know what kind of person your sister-in-law is. If she found out I was with another woman, she would cause a huge uproar."

"I just came over to have a drink and chat with you guys."

Wu Sibao suppressed the lust in his eyes and pretended to be a good family man.

"Young Master Yang, don't talk about us, what about you?" Wang Xuesen asked.

"I?"

"My sister gave a strict order: you can't like her, no matter who you like."

"She is the goddaughter of Zhang Deqing, a senior member of the Green Gang."

"Old Ji and Zhang Deqing had a grudge in the past, and I don't want to get involved with their mess."

Yang Jie may be greedy, but he is self-aware.

As he spoke, he frequently raised his glass to several women nearby who were flirting with him. After exchanging only a few words, he took his glass and walked over, and soon after, he was seen with one of the women, disappearing to who-knows-where.

"Waiter, please send a few flower baskets to Miss White Rose," Wang Xuesen snapped his fingers and ordered.

After the song is finished.

The waiter brought out the flower basket, and Bai Meigui's gaze turned towards Wang Xuesen.

The handsome and dashing Wang Xuesen adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, smiled brightly at her, and raised his glass.

"Brother Bao, who is this?" A moment later, White Rose swayed her shapely hips and walked over, asking with a charming smile.

This woman is really beautiful.

Her makeup was just right, and her skin was as smooth as mutton fat, especially the large patch of white fabric on her chest, which was pressed against her bodice, giving it an extremely soft appearance that was visible to the naked eye.

Like clouds or cotton.

One more look and I feel an urge to bite it.

Not to mention her gentle charm and mature, slightly deep voice, honed by years of hardship.

Just a few glances and a few words are enough to make you want to hand over your grain.

"This is Wang Xuesen, the grandson of Wang Shizhong, and he is currently the director of the No. 76 Confidential Office," Wu Sibao introduced.

"So it's the famous Young Master Wang."

"This drink is on me."

Seeing his handsome and dashing appearance, White Rose couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

"Are you just buying me drinks?" Wang Xuesen blinked and teased.

"Besides drinking, what else do you want to do?" White Rose likes this kind of romantic man.

"Of course, I'll do what I want to do," Wang Xuesen said, swirling his wine glass.

"Hmm, there are plenty of men in Shanghai who are richer than you. Your standards are a bit high," White Rose chuckled.

"That's right."

"There are many people richer than me."

"But there aren't many people who are better looking than me and also more romantic."

"Dear sister, wait for me."

"The ultimate romance, tonight belongs to you."

Wang Xuesen strode onto the stage, took out two hundred yuan, and handed it to a male singer who was about to go on stage: "Brother, can I borrow a song?"

The man tactfully handed over the microphone.

Wang Xuesen then approached the foreigner in charge of the accompaniment and, in fluent English, made a gentlemanly request:

"Give me a fiery, uptempo jazz arrangement."

Thanks!

"Absolutely!!" the foreigner readily agreed.
