Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Wang Xuesen drove to the pharmacy.

I entered the consultation room.

Wang Xuesen got straight to the point, stating the assassination plan and personnel list of No. 76.

Du Song adjusted his glasses and exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! Now, any progressive or anti-Japanese forces are worth fighting for. Xue Sen, your intelligence is extremely important!"

Does it matter?

"Hmph, do you think the boss would be so merciful as to use our resources to tip them off?"

"Don't forget, many of these people are sympathetic or even supportive of the red vote."

Wang Xuesen asked a probing question.

Old Du paused for a moment, then gave a somewhat hesitant explanation: "We're currently in the second phase of cooperation between Qing and Hong, and we're united against external threats."

Do you believe it?

"If we were truly cooperating, would we have launched a surprise attack on the New Fourth Army?" Wang Xuesen sneered.

"Let's not talk about that. The hundred taels of gold the boss gave me has arrived. You can specify a place, and I'll go and put it there for you personally. It's too dangerous to take it directly out of here."

"Wu Sibao came to buy medicine again today."

"Who knows what he's up to?"

Old Du's eyes flickered, and he quickly changed the subject.

"It's alright, he really wants the medicine."

"This guy is different from me."

"I'm just pretending to be incapable, but he's genuinely incapable," Wang Xuesen joked.

"That's troublesome."

"I prescribed a powerful tonic, which is true to enhance male virility, but if he's quick, no amount of medicine will work; he'll still be quick."

"Damn it, he's definitely going to smash up my shop later."

Du Song frowned and complained.

"fine."

"I reckon he'll try to trick me into revealing information. I'll give him a prescription later and then smooth things over for you," Wang Xuesen said after thinking for a moment.

Wu Sibao's condition is so severe that even a miracle worker couldn't cure it; only drastic measures could resolve it.

"Oh, right."

"How is the New Fourth Army in Xiajiashan doing? Could you help me find out?" Wang Xuesen asked, taking a sip of tea.

"The intelligence has been switched back to the boss. The news can't get out. What can they do besides get beaten up?"

"But if a fight really breaks out, the news will come very quickly."

"You're one to talk, aren't you? You were asking around too!"

Old Du laughed.

"Hey, that's a dangerous thing to say."

"I asked to confirm the accuracy of the intelligence from No. 76, it has nothing to do with the red ticket."

"You have to understand that at this critical juncture of cooperation, such a military operation must have been personally authorized by the Chairman, which is a top secret of the Ministry of National Defense."

"How did you get Number 76?"

"This is a big problem."

"I suspect there are spies from them or the Japanese in the upper echelons of the mountain city. You need to tell the boss to be careful."

Wang Xuesen's face darkened, and he began to analyze the situation with seriousness.

He felt that Lao Du sympathized with the red tickets.

This is not a good thing.

At least not for Wang Xuesen at the moment.

Who knows if the old man was deliberately putting on a show on Dai Li's orders?

It's better to be honest.

As for information on red tickets, report it if you have any. Wang Xuesen doesn't care how Lao Du and Boss Dai deal with it, since they'll sell it on the black market anyway.

"Don't worry, with the boss's intelligence, he'll understand as soon as the message gets through."

"They've probably already launched an investigation in secret by now."

"By the way, the intelligence the assassin got from Bai Jusheng is the same as yours. It's been verified through two channels. Chen Gongshu has confirmed that Zhan Shen will go to Huaqing Pool to assassinate Ji Yunqing tomorrow, which is the afternoon of the 19th."

Old Du said.

"Yeah, I saw them trading intelligence when I passed by."

"By the way, there's a woman named Zheng Pingping who lives with Ding Mocun."

"I think there's something wrong with this woman."

"Ask the boss if Zheng Pingping is one of our people. If she is, tell her to get as far away from us as possible and not ruin my plans."

"Ding Mocun is completely insignificant. Whether he is there or not, Li Shiqun will still be able to wreak havoc everywhere."

"On the contrary, if he dies, the Japanese will directly promote Li Shiqun to the position, or Haruki Yoshitane will take over personally, and I will have no room to survive or maneuver."

Wang Xuesen said somewhat angrily.

"It shouldn't be the boss's faction."

"You're a priority. You made a great contribution in rescuing Tang Zengyang. The boss is really looking for you. Even if he needs to send someone to set up a stage, he'll definitely consult you."

Du Song clearly did not know Zheng Pingping's background.

"This is troublesome."

"There are too many factions involved in intelligence work now: the Red Ticket, the CC Clique, the Military Intelligence Bureau, MI6, the U.S. Naval Intelligence Department, and the Green Gang's intelligence brokers."

"I can't eat or sleep until I figure out who this woman is."

Wang Xuesen took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his temples, feigning a headache.

"I'm more worried that this woman is a prostitute."

"The boss made a big splash in front of the Chairman because of Tang Zengyang's affair. Xu Enzeng must also want to make a name for himself in Shanghai."

"Assassinating Ding Mocun will not benefit us."

"But for the old man, and even in the national anti-Japanese sentiment, it was a landmark event."

"Xu Enzeng could very well have made this move."

"With Ding Mocun dead, my chances of getting close to core secrets are slim. I'll just have to suffer in silence." He shook his head, subtly guiding Lao Du's thoughts.

"Why."

"This is indeed a troublesome matter."

"Intelligence warfare is all about infiltration and long-term planning to catch big fish."

"The problem is, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Juntong) are

"The boss and Xu Enzeng were under a lot of pressure from the old man, and they were both a bit obsessed. The assassination was a much higher priority than intelligence."

"This kind of attack might win you some face, but it doesn't penetrate the substance at all."

"Your current value is exceptional."

"If it really is a spy from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), the boss will definitely intervene."

Du Song nodded in deep agreement, then asked, "Do you have any information about this woman?"

"A little."

"Zheng Pingping used to be a student at Mingguang Middle School, and Ding Mocun was the principal of Mingguang Middle School at the time, but the two did not have a close relationship in the past."

"Later, at a party, Zheng Pingping became Ding's secretary and mistress through Mao Ziming's introduction."

"This woman is very beautiful."

"Call the boss tonight, and remember, be quick."

"If not, it's best to find out her identity as thoroughly as possible."

"No matter what, Ding Mocun cannot die now."

Wang Xuesen said solemnly.

"Okay, I've got it." Old Du said.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. You need to persuade Wanjia." Wang Xuesen quickly wrote down an address for receiving gold and handed it to him.

After reading it, Lao Du quickly wrote it down and swallowed the note.

Wang Xuesen's handwriting cannot be left arbitrarily.

Moreover, burning it is not safe, as it produces smoke.

If someone like Wu Sibao were to barge in, it would easily arouse suspicion.

He took a sip of tea, swallowed, and asked, "What is it?"

"She...she's still a virgin, and she's always refused to share a room with me," Wang Xuesen said somewhat awkwardly.

Du Song laughed and said, "You two are just pretending to be married, so she has no obligation in that regard. Besides, relationships are about mutual affection, so what can I say?"

"With your handsome looks, it's only a matter of time before you start being more sweet-talking and gentle with people, isn't it?"

"I can't help you with that."

"Old Du, you've misunderstood." Wang Xuesen's expression turned serious, and he frowned.

"She deals with people like Yang Shuhui and Ye Jiqing all the time. You, like Yu Aizhen, have slept with many men and have a lot of experience in that area. You also have a sharp eye and a cunning mind."

"They get together every day to tell dirty jokes and talk about men."

"Wanjia has no experience."

"And her figure, with those tight legs, doesn't look like that of a newlywed."

"I've just arrived in Shanghai, and my husband and I haven't been together long enough for people to find fault with me. But if I'm still acting like a young girl after another six months or a year, people will be able to spot the problem immediately."

"At that time, Ye Jiqing can just find an excuse or forcibly take her to the hospital for a medical examination."

"If they find out she's still a virgin, then we'll just wear it, won't we?"
