Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

"Fourth Brother, it can't be that bad, can it?" Wang Xuesen smiled awkwardly.

"Who are you calling Fourth Brother? Are you close to him?"

"Damn it!"

"Quickly!"

The fourth brother's harsh reprimand was ruthless.

"OK!"

Wang Xuesen looked helpless, took off his belt and shoes, and stood to the side wearing only socks.

Under the watchful eyes of many, this humiliating inspection was secretly a source of amusement for many.

This is what happens when you follow Li Shiqun.

Mao Ziming was extremely pleased and smug.

This is nothing.

If Ding Zijun hadn't been away attending the Qingxianghui meeting in Suzhou on behalf of Director Ding a while ago, Su Wanjia would have been framed long ago, and nude photos of her would be flying everywhere.

Wang Xuesen, ha, just you wait, I'll show you how to deal with you.

"Advisor Wang, please." The fourth brother said, raising his hand after finishing the inspection.

Wang Xuesen fastened his belt and put on his leather shoes.

He didn't leave.

I just leaned against the car and waited.

Soon, it was Mao Ziming's turn. He casually and condescendingly handed over the bag:

"Fourth brother, hurry up, I have important business to attend to."

"Yes! Yes!"

"Secretary Mao, the inspection is complete. Please go ahead." The fourth brother took the bag with both hands like a lapdog, glanced at it casually, and handed it back.

"Why doesn't he take off his shoes and loosen his belt? That's against the rules," Wang Xuesen asked, dissatisfied.

"Why are you spouting so much nonsense?"

"He's the chief secretary, one of the heads of the security committee. How can he be compared to you?"

"Hurry up, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The fourth brother waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away flies.

"Wang Xuesen, making a scene won't help. If you don't want to work here, you can get out," Mao Ziming said smugly.

"OK!"

"You guys have connections even for security checks? You're amazing!"

Wang Xuesen pointed at the group of people, then jumped into the car and drove off.

"Fourth brother, you guys are busy." Mao Ziming greeted them, then quickly grabbed his bag and made a hasty retreat.

After he walked away.

The fourth brother spat fiercely on the ground: "What the hell, you dog!"

Lin Zhijiang glared at him, indicating that there were outsiders present.

"Old Lin, did I overact a bit? Will the boss be angry?" the fourth brother asked in a low voice.

Lin Zhijiang, holding a cigarette between his right thumb and forefinger, took a puff and turned his head away listlessly: "Do you think the boss is that petty?"

"With acting skills like yours, you probably deserve a bonus."

"Just wait and see what rewards you get."

"Hehe, that's right. Boss Xuesen is not like Boss Dai. He only makes the brothers work themselves to the bone, but he doesn't give them any meat to eat. Since we followed Xuesen, the brothers are now eating and drinking well. This is the kind of life we ​​should be living."

"Take Lao Gong's wife giving birth, for example, the boss even made a special trip to their home and gave her a 300 yuan red envelope."

"When Xiao Xu's mother passed away, the boss was busy with all the arrangements and helped to make the funeral a grand affair. Everyone in the alley was envious."

The fourth brother, having nothing better to do, started praising Wang Xuesen.

"It's nothing. The boss is reliable and doesn't easily let us take risks. That's what brothers are for."

"Even Lao Wang is now completely convinced by him."

"Say no more, just follow him to the bitter end."

Lin Zhijiang patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, the brothers are full of energy now, and they all say that there is hope for the future."

"I wonder what we'll do when Li Shih-Chun comes back and reshuffles the deck."

The fourth brother frowned, and his worries returned.

"Dingmo Village isn't something that can just collapse overnight."

"But now that the boss has entered the game, the four-hall system will definitely have to be scrapped by Lao Ding."

"It's a good opportunity for the brothers to retreat and avoid being targeted by Li Shiqun."

"Let the brothers finish looting, then hurry back to the dorm to rest. We still have to rob someone tonight."

"Li Shiqun and Zhang Xiaolin have been going on a rampage against Fu Youan lately. That old scoundrel has a bunch of rich and powerful traitors under his command. The boss wants us to take advantage of the chaos and pull off a few big ones."

"Anyway, with Li Shiqun and Zhang the traitor taking the blame, it's a huge profit to rob or kill one more traitorous dog."

Lin Zhijiang chuckled.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The old town area of ​​Nanshi District, Renmin Road.

In the darkness, a black sedan quietly drove into the secluded corner.

Li Shiqun sat in the passenger seat, smoking a cigarette and staring coldly at the Fuyun Teahouse not far away.

He rarely participated in operations personally.

This arrest is crucial to Dongshan's comeback, so we must be cautious.

"Zhongwen, are you sure this is it?" He slowly exhaled smoke and asked in a deep voice.

"That's right."

"According to our recent surveillance, Mao Ziming has been frequently meeting with a black market intelligence broker known as Scarface here."

"This time, the head of the Kagesa Agency personally set up the scheme, so such important information must be extremely valuable."

"There's no reason for Mao Ziming not to take the bait."

Liu Zhongwen answered in a deep voice.

"Yeah, I heard that Wang Xuesen stole his wife and hasn't found her yet," Li Shiqun said casually, in a good mood.

"Mao Ziming didn't work in this industry before; perhaps he was provoked by Wang Xuesen."

"Especially given his identity and position, his ability to monetize intelligence is top-notch."

"Of course, not necessarily."

"After all, when Si Bao was the head of the guards, he was very strict, and Mao Ziming couldn't steal anything even if he wanted to. Now that Ding has taken over, it's just the right time, and it's like heaven is helping us."

Liu Zhongwen's analysis was very sound.

"Xuesen is too much of a womanizer and a sly fox."

"To be honest, I don't doubt that he's from Chongqing now, I'm just afraid he'll try to seduce women," Li Shiqun joked.

"Unless he doesn't want to live anymore."

Liu Zhongwen smiled.

"I wonder if Yang Jie succeeded or not." Li Shiqun suddenly glanced at his watch.

Whether or not you succeed is not important.

"Even a few blank shots would scare Fu You'an out of his wits."

"Didn't he love to show off to the Japanese and boast about his 'stable rule'? Recently, our people impersonated Kuomintang agents and kidnapped and shot several of his high-ranking officials."

"Fu You'an and the Japanese are probably getting restless, so we have to ask you, Director, to come out of retirement."

"At that time, you can take the opportunity to propose setting up more checkpoints in Hongkou and western Shanghai to collect tolls and opium taxes. It would be best if you could win the position of Director of the Jiangsu-Anhui-Shanghai Tax Bureau."

"Then the financial control and funding will be secure."

Liu Zhongwen smiled.

"Um."

"Anyway, we had a prosperous New Year this time."

"Everything is blossoming in accordance with Wang Xuesen's theory of winning."

Li Shiqun sighed with delight.

He usually has a lot of calculations and wins more often than he loses, but this is the first time he has won so easily and with such a wide winning margin.

"yes."

"I never expected his winning strategies to be so amazing." Liu Zhongwen was also full of admiration.

"Old Liu, you rarely praise people."

"It seems this kid has caught your eye."

"Fortunately, he has genuinely sided with us. If he had really sided with Dingmo Village, he might have been a troublesome problem," Li Shiqun said, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"director."

"A smart person wouldn't side with Dingmo Village, would they?" Liu Zhongwen looked at him.

"That's it, that's it!"

Li Shiqun laughed out loud.

As they were talking, Mao Ziming, wearing a round hat, sneaked into the teahouse.

"That kid really hasn't given up on his wicked intentions."

"Luckily, this was a trap set by Chief Kagesa. If it were truly top-secret information, No. 76 would have destroyed it in his hands." Li Shiqun cursed, his face ashen.

"Big brother, I'm going to arrest them." Wu Sibao, who had been sitting in the back and hadn't dared to say a word, leaned forward to ask for the order.

"No rush."

"Wait a little longer," Li Shiqun gestured for him to sit down.

A moment later, Mao Ziming came out, looked around warily for a few moments, then got into his car and drove off.

"The scar has appeared."

"Four Guarantees".

"Go and arrest them."

"Remember, keep a low profile and don't cause a disturbance."

Li Shiqun stared for a while, then coldly gave the order.

Wu Sibao got out of the car, leading several of his men who were hidden in the shadows.

As soon as Scarface, dressed in a long black robe, came downstairs and walked to a quiet spot on the street, the group quickly surrounded him.

"What are you doing, brother? Do you know who I am?" Scarface was used to big scenes and wasn't intimidated at all, speaking arrogantly.

"You're Scarface," Wu Sibao asked menacingly.

"That's right, I'm your Scarface."

"Hey bro, which side are you on?"

Even the scarred man had someone protecting him, and he smugly started talking.

"It's you, that's all that matters."

"take away."

Wu Sibao waved his hand, and several of his men, like wolves and tigers, stuffed a rag into his mouth, covered him with a sack, and carried him directly onto the car.

……

Inside the hotel.

Wang Xuesen put his arm around Li Lu.

The two of them were stuck together, covered in sweat.

"Go open the window, it's stuffy and smelly, I'm suffocating," Wang Xuesen ordered, lighting a cigarette afterward, exhausted.

Li Lu climbed out of bed and opened the window limply.

Air rushed in.

The room immediately felt much fresher.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"I never expected it, never expected it..."

Li Lu was so embarrassed and ashamed that she covered her face and couldn't bear to be seen by anyone.

Wang Xuesen adored her cute appearance and kissed her hard: "What are you shy about? You are my precious lover."

"You, you're just making fun of people?" Li Lu said, her face flushed.

"Why is it dirty?"

"I really like it, which proves I'm capable." Wang Xuesen glanced at the bed sheet, quite pleased with himself.

"You, you don't mind me... that's good." Li Lu bit her lip and nodded.

"A woman who isn't seductive won't have a high social status."

"Outside, I'm a lady of leisure; at home, I'm... hehe! When I play cards, I can chat with those ladies, learn from their strengths, and strive for excellence."

When Wang Xuesen got emotional, he slapped her on the buttocks.

"Xuesen, you should go home quickly. If it gets late, Wanjia will... To be honest, I don't know how to face her lately. I always feel like a shameless sinner," Li Lu said with a guilty expression.

"What's so shameless about you?"

"It was me who seduced and ruined you, what does it have to do with you?"

"Come to my house tomorrow and we'll play cards."

"Take it easy, have some fun."

"One day you two sisters will have to lie in the same bed, so you still need to get along well. She has a princess-like temper, she's tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so you just have to give in to her in everything."

Wang Xuesen chuckled and began to offer her psychological support.

"Okay, fine."

"Don't worry, I know my place. I won't cause you or Wan'er any trouble."

Li Lu nodded obediently.

"I'm gone."

"I'll have someone change your room later."

"This bed is unusable."

Wang Xuesen got up, dressed, and gave instructions.

"Okay." Li Lu blushed all the way to her neck.

After changing her room, Wang Xuesen gave her some instructions and left her some money before leaving.

Soon, two waitresses came to tidy up the room.

While tidying up, he muttered to himself:

"When these two come, it's a disaster. I have to change the sheets every time. It's such a hassle."

"Alright, just be jealous and envious. This young master Wang is a man even Bai Meigui praises highly. How could he not be impressive?"

"You're the one who's envious! Who would have thought that quiet, reserved woman would be so wild when she gets going? These rich ladies are really something... tsk tsk!"

……

On his way home, Wang Xuesen bought a pomelo, sat in the car with the windows closed, peeled the pomelo, rubbed it on his body, and smoked a few cigarettes.

After driving home.

Wan'er greeted them joyfully, like a bird.

"Wan'er, this pomelo is so sweet." Wang Xuesen winked and smiled, offering a pomelo as a gesture of love, just like always.

"Okay, thank you." Wanjia happily accepted it.

Immediately, she frowned and wrinkled her nose:

"Did you pee on yourself?"

Wang Xuesen scratched his head: "Oh, I was so unpredictable going to the toilet today, I accidentally shook my pants."

"It stinks!"

"Go take a shower. You're a grown man, yet you still pee on yourself like a child."

"I'm truly impressed."

Wanjia frowned and mumbled on.

Xiaomin covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

Wang Xuesen coughed awkwardly, which startled Xiao Min into standing at attention. Then, with a stern face, she went upstairs.

Damn it.

Li Lu is really something else.

Next time, no matter how tired or rushed I am, I must take a shower before leaving, otherwise I'll be found out sooner or later.

There's nothing I can do; my wife was born in the Year of the Dog, and she has a very keen sense of smell.

……

The next day.

Wang Xuesen got out of bed feeling refreshed.

After Lao Du persuaded Wan Jia to reduce the weekly collection from at least ten times to three times, Wang Xuesen's pressure was greatly reduced, and he became energetic and vigorous.

I arrived at the office.

He usually drinks tea and reads newspapers.

10:00 AM.

The door to the director's office next door slammed shut.

Wang Tianmu quickly passed by the office door, turned sideways and winked at him, and Wang Xuesen smiled and nodded to indicate that he understood.

The operation is about to begin.

This trap was personally set by Chief Kagesa and Military Police officer Okamura.

The goal was simple: to help Li Shiqun make a comeback, to suppress Ding Mocun and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' arrogance, and to completely eliminate the inefficient and cumbersome four-department system.

Wang Xuesen sighed inwardly.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Even the Japanese have factions.

From the moment Ding Mocun stepped into No. 76 to vie for power with Li Shiqun, his fate of failure was sealed.

Because his opponent was never Li Shiqun.

Instead, it was the army faction, including Kagesa Yoshiaki and Haruki Yoshitane.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs alone cannot overcome this challenge.

This is also why Wang Xuesen secretly helped Li Shiqun. After driving away Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun became arrogant, which forced Zhou Fohai to take action.

Coincidentally, Zhou Fohai also had deep ties with the army faction.

Only Lao Zhou could truly wear down No. 76 and Li Shiqun, and even cause a major reshuffle of the Mei Agency's top leadership, resulting in the intelligence system malfunctioning and becoming ineffective.

……

meeting room.

Ding Mocun sat at the head of the table, his face as gloomy and deep as ever.

Mao Ziming stood to one side.

Wang Tianmu and Lin Zhijiang walked in one after the other: "Director."

"Gentlemen, there have been frequent assassination and kidnapping incidents in Shanghai recently, including those involving Liu Changqing, the city's secretary-general, and Jiang Zhichang of the New Asia Peace Committee, among many other pro-Japanese officials."

"The Japanese embassy and Mayor Fu are very dissatisfied."

"Director Wang, is there any progress in your investigation?"

"Director, we still don't have any leads on the murder gang. But don't you find it strange? Why is it only now that things are chaotic? Why not earlier or later?" Wang Tianmu frowned.

Ding Mocun raised his hand to stop him: "I know, but right now neither Fu Youan nor we have caught the murderer. The Japanese are investigating very closely. Whoever did it, it must be the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics from the mountain city faction."

"In this way, the pressure on us can be alleviated to some extent."

"Director, I suggest we investigate this matter thoroughly. If we can find some of the people involved, we can bring them all to justice," Lin Zhijiang solemnly proposed.

"Do you think Mr. Fu and I don't want that?"

"These people are very cunning."

"Moreover, Mr. Fu has been targeted by Zhang Xiaolin because of the Zhejiang provincial election, and finding the culprit will not be a matter of a short time."

"If it was Zhang Xiaolin's men who did it, it would only create another formidable enemy for us, which is unnecessary."

Ding Mocun completely rejected the proposal.

"I've called you here today because of a top-secret mission."

"The newly appointed district chief of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), Hsu Chao-lin, took office last night and will meet at the Yun'er Tea Shop location at 43 Nanjing Road at 11 p.m.

"The reason we're only informing you now is to maintain absolute confidentiality."

"Director Wang, Captain Lin, this is the joint arrest warrant issued by the concession. You must immediately take your men to Nanjing Road and bring the person to me."

"If Xu Zhaolin can be arrested, it will alleviate the pressure from public opinion and Japan."

"Success is the only option; failure is not an option!"

Ding Mocun slammed his hand on the table and gave a stern order.

"yes!"

Wang Tianmu and his companion accepted the order and led their men straight to Nanjing Road.
