Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Chapter 8: Either get used to it, or go to your parents' home.

"Brother, you can't call him boss anymore."

"We should call him that old thief, that old dog!"

Wang Xuesen pulled him to the edge of the flower bed and whispered a reminder.

"Yes, yes!"

"Old Dai...dog!" Lin Zhijiang was also startled and quickly corrected himself.

"I did hear some rumors from the mountain city."

"The order to kill Chen Mingchu and He Tianfeng has been circulating for a long time, and this was also decided by the Chairman."

"But you, brother, Dai Yunong really didn't mention it."

"I heard that many people within the Military Intelligence Bureau are still speaking out for you."

"Everyone knows you were ruined by Zhou Daosan."

"Back then, when you assassinated Zhou Fengqi, the small reward you earned by risking your life was all pocketed by Zhou Daosan. You and the brothers in the second group couldn't stand it, so you turned against him."

"Don't even mention you, who in the entire Military Intelligence Bureau isn't disheartened?"

"Oh, everyone's fighting the Japanese and traitors on the front lines, their brothers are bleeding and shedding tears, and they still have to starve. This isn't how things are done."

"Isn't this profiting from human suffering?"

Wang Xuesen frowned and spoke out on behalf of Linzhijiang.

"Absolutely!"

Lin Zhijiang slapped his thigh excitedly, his eyes instantly reddening: "Brother, you really do understand me."

"Zhou Daosan, Old Dai...don't these dogs deserve any punishment?"

Wang Xuesen sighed, "Ah... there's nothing we can do. After all, he saved Dai Yunong's life. Zhou Daosan was just recently caught up in a love triangle at the Red Mansion, living a carefree life."

"In the assassination attempt on Zhou Fengqi, four brothers from my second team died. I can't even afford their resettlement expenses. I... I freaking..."

"This world is unfair!"

Lin Zhijiang clenched his fists, his eyes red and bloodshot.

Wang Xuesen quickly made a shushing gesture: "Brother, watch your words, watch your words!"

"I just arrived and I don't know who's in this house yet. If word gets out, Wu Sibao will have to invite us to the interrogation room tomorrow."

Lin Zhijiang nodded vigorously.

Wang Xuesen continued whispering, "Now that Chiang Kai-shek has retreated to the mountains, the Japanese are about to break through eastern Guangdong. We're living the high life here. Once Mr. Wang returns to Nanjing, it will be a time of peace and prosperity for East Asia."

"There is no injustice; everything that happens is for the better!"

Wang Xuesen offered him a heartfelt reminder.

"Yes, yes!"

"Good, good thing, good day."

"Brother, it's getting late, I have to go. The waters at No. 76 are too deep, be careful in the future."

Lin Zhijiang snapped out of his daze, feeling a sense of camaraderie, like Bo Ya meeting Zi Qi, and patted him on the shoulder as he walked toward the car.

"See you tomorrow." Wang Xuesen stood there and waved goodbye.

Only after the car had driven away did he turn around and walk quickly towards the courtyard.

We entered the hall.

A young maid with elegant features bowed to him with a smile: "Sir, you're back."

"What's your name, sister?" Wang Xuesen asked with a nonchalant smile, one hand in his pocket.

"Liu Min".

"Just call me Xiaomin, sir," the maid replied obediently.

"This is for you. I appreciate you taking good care of my wife while I was away in Shanghai."

Wang Xuesen took out his wallet, counted out a few bills, and handed them to her.

"Actually, I... I haven't been here long either."

Liu Min was at a loss for what to do.

Oh, I just arrived.

Judging from his reserved demeanor, he probably hasn't been in this line of work for long.

After a brief test, and combined with Liu Xiaomin's cautious demeanor in Linzhijiang, Wang Xuesen roughly figured out her situation.

They must be Li Shiqun's people.

However, they are not very professional or experienced, and are considered "temporary workers".

That makes things easier. Hmm, she's not bad looking. Having another girl to keep you company isn't bad either!

Get some rest!

Wang Xuesen winked and smiled, his fingers lightly stroking her smooth face.

"Xiaomin, accept it." Su Wanjia stood by the second-floor railing, pretending to be jealous and displeased.

"Oh, yes, madam."

Liu Min blushed, lowered her head, and walked away.

Wang Xuesen chuckled and carried his suitcase upstairs to the second floor.

Snapped!

They entered the bedroom.

The moment the door closed, Su Wanjia seemed like a completely different person, arms crossed, coldly saying, "Aren't you going too far today!"

"Is that too much?"

"The Second Young Master Wang is the kind of person who would even try to kiss a female dog."

"With such a beautiful and delicate woman like you, how could I not be affectionate with you without Yu Aizhen knowing?"

He chuckled and moved closer to Su Wanjia: "Why don't you ask Boss Dai to send someone else? Or tell me what to do?"

"Keep your voice down."

"The maid downstairs was introduced by Yu Aizhen; she's very likely an informant," Su Wanjia warned.

"It would be strange if it weren't so." Wang Xuesen had expected this.

"Wang Xuesen!"

I won't say it in front of others.

"From now on, in our private lives, our relationship is purely professional, and we should keep it clearly separate. I hope you will always respect yourself and not push your luck!"

"I can 'marry' you, and I can 'divorce' you."

"You know how the boss operates; we'd better not cause him any trouble, don't you think?"

Su Wanjia looked him straight in the eye and gave him a stern warning.

"Everyone does their own thing, I understand, it's a new trend in the Republic of China," Wang Xuesen agreed.

Hehe, a wife, if she stays in the same room every day, she'll eventually become your own.

"You...we're doing top-secret work, not here to indulge in debauchery."

"never mind!"

"Go take a shower first, we'll talk later."

Su Wanjia waved her hand dismissively, still feeling indignant.

"What can't you say now, and you have to say it after you shower?"

"I don't sell myself."

Just as Wang Xuesen was about to open the box, Su Wanjia opened the wardrobe, revealing pajamas, socks, and underwear all neatly arranged: "This is your wardrobe."

"Did you buy all of these?" Wang Xuesen asked, somewhat surprised.

"nonsense!"

"Hurry up, you stink!" Su Wanjia rolled her eyes at him, covering her nose and saying irritably.

"So what if she's a rich young lady from Shanghai?"

"So what if it's a little big? Who are you complaining about?"

Wang Xuesen, carrying clothes and a towel, went to the ensuite bathroom while cursing.

I'm so angry!

Su Wanjia was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

The original "Wang Xuesen" was a lecherous playboy whom she avoided at all costs.

Now it's a different person, but it's still the same old scumbag.

The thought of having to share a room with this guy every night filled Su Wanjia with bitterness and even made her want to kill him.

Tolerate!

Everything is for the mission!

I came out after taking a shower.

Wang Xuesen dried his wet hair, his gaze falling on her chest. The snow-white skin had disappeared, replaced by a high-waisted bra underneath.

That's pointless.

"No, you're wearing pajamas at home, and then there's a bra and tube top on you late at night. Is it because you're afraid your neighbor downstairs won't notice you're faking it, and you're deliberately avoiding me?"

Wang Xuesen resolutely protested.

Let's not even talk about eating, and now they won't even let us watch? This is outrageous!

"Can't I just go downstairs and pick them myself?" Su Wanjia retorted.

"Okay, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

"Miss Su, please speak."

Wang Xuesen asked.

"You shouldn't have hit Mao Ziming today. Judging from the current situation, Ding Mocun has Zhou Fohai backing him up. They are from the same hometown and both are from the CC Clique. You'd better side with Ding's faction," Su Wanjia said.

What a museum-worthy idiot!

If Zhou Fohai really wanted to support him, he wouldn't have arranged for him to hold two positions.

Moreover, with the Mei Agency, Qingqi Qingyin, and the Military Police backing Li Shiqun, Ding Mocun's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was simply not a strong enough support.

"Is this what Boss Dai wants?" Wang Xuesen asked.

"no."

"This is common knowledge in the industry. Although you are Mr. Wang's student, everyone knows that Zhou Fohai is the real mastermind behind the Wang puppet regime."

"Mr. Wang is just like Puyi of Manchukuo, nothing more than a figurehead."

Su Wanjia analyzed.

"Miss Su, how I infiltrate is my business. You only need to do two things."

"First, be a good wife."

Second, be a good liaison.

"Is the transportation hub completed?"

Wang Xuesen was too lazy to explain the reasons to her and impatiently dropped the topic.

"you!"

"You're just..." Su Wanjia was about to speak when Wang Xuesen said, "Aren't I just a nobody at Chaotianmen Wharf?"

"But I'm your man now. The boss is making you cooperate with me, not the other way around."

"Don't confuse the King and Queen!"

"Either get used to it, or go back to your mom's place and eat...something delicious and spicy."

"Understand?"

Su Wanjia laughed in anger: "Ha, what rank do you have? I'm a captain, for goodness' sake, and you're trying to act all high and mighty with me."

"Okay, I'll ask you, do you know Shen Yue?"

"Is she related to you?" Wang Xuesen knew that Shen Yue's matter was not over and it was necessary to test the waters.

"Do you know what my aunt's cousin's youngest daughter's name is?" Su Wanjia asked, crossing her arms.

"Your aunt's name is Ma Suzhen, and her cousin... is a distant relative of yours. She's not in the information the boss gave us," Wang Xuesen said, frowning.

"Just because it's not in the information doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Su Wanjia said with a hint of smugness, as if she had caught him red-handed.

"Who is it?" Wang Xuesen suspected that she was deliberately picking a fight.

"My aunt has three older cousins, and her second cousin is named Zhou Hong."

"Zhou Hong's youngest daughter is Shen Yue. On the surface, she is a staff member in the Confidential Affairs Department, but in reality, she is Ding Mocun's lover."

"Normally we'd never have anything to do with each other, but now you need to know."

"That's what they call plans not keeping up with changes."

"Boss Dai has connections everywhere, but he's far away in this mountain city, so there are some things you have to do as I say."

Su Wanjia said.

"That makes sense. It seems we need to have more in-depth exchanges in the future." Wang Xuesen stared at her rounded buttocks as she sat sideways on the edge of the bed and swallowed.

"I'll ask you again, when did we get married?" Su Wanjia pouted and covered her legs with the blanket.

"September 26, 1937."

"Who are the witnesses? Why not hold a wedding ceremony and instead get married in secret?"

"The witness is Miss Hu Die."

"The reason for not having a wedding is simple: you don't like me. At that time, Bai Junqi, the eldest son of the Bai family who had sided with the Japanese, was pursuing you."

"You chose me as a shield to get rid of his harassment."

"This is no secret in Shanghai."

"We didn't hold a wedding to avoid upsetting the Bai family. You originally planned to come with me to Shancheng to hide, but the Su family and the Chamber of Commerce need someone from their own side who is fluent in Japanese."

"Furthermore, since you don't like me that much, Young Master Wang couldn't stand your coldness and boredom, so he left Shanghai with Old Master Wang."

Wang Xuesen's answer was watertight.

"Well, at least you did some research," Su Wanjia said.

"Anything else? No, go to sleep!"

Wang Xuesen ignored her and jumped onto the soft bed, spreading his legs out in a starfish shape.

The pillow smells wonderful.

The quilt had a lingering fragrance of Wanjia.

It smells so good!

"If you sleep here, where am I supposed to sleep?" Su Wanjia nudged him.

"Of course, a couple should sleep together." Wang Xuesen turned over, propped his head up with one hand, and winked at her confidently.

"You wish," Su Wanjia rolled her eyes.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

"Anyway, I'll sleep in the bed, you can sleep wherever you want."
