The Spy

Chapter 389: Honey on the Mouth

Fu Wenzhen did have some understanding of Xu Qingyun, but unfortunately he didn't know about an innate factor.

Xu Qingyun's heart was red, and he had long discovered his existence and had been protecting him secretly.

I guess even if someone told Fu Wenzhen, he wouldn't believe it.

There is not a trace of the Red Party in Xu Qingyun.

Apart from being better to the people, there are many people in the Guo Party who are seeking fame and reputation. How many of them really care about the people?
Back in Wuhan, Xu Qingyun also confiscated a lot of money from the people, and all the money was divided up privately among them.

Xu Qingyun does not actively seek money, which makes him a clear figure among the Guo Party.

Fu Wenzhen has followed Xu Qingyun for many years and is also the head of the operations department. He knows that Xu Qingyun is rich and doesn't care about this small amount of money.

A wealthy capitalist, at a young age, he has already reached the rank of colonel in the military and is also the chief of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission, holding a high position of power.

Fu Wenzhen never thought in his heart that Xu Qingyun would be one of theirs.

But his guess was indeed correct, Xu Qingyun began to doubt the pharmacy.

But he guessed wrong.

Xu Qingyun would not arrange for anyone to do the verification investigation, he would only come in person.

The next morning, Xu Qingyun came to the pharmacy.

He made a disguise.

Dai Jieying knew how to disguise herself, and he also learned some things from her. Although he couldn't completely transform himself into a different person, there was no problem in changing his image.

If he wasn't someone familiar, I wouldn't recognize him at all.

Unless Fu Wenzhen is watching here all the time, no one can discover his identity.

Xu Qingyun went straight into the pharmacy to buy medicine.

The floor of the drugstore was made of blue bricks, with many footprints left on it. Xu Qingyun took a look at these footprints and, while buying medicine, paid special attention to the situation outside the drugstore.

"Doctor, do I have to drink it for seven days?"

After buying the medicine, Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask. He used the excuse that his mother was sick, a common disease among the elderly.

There are many people like this in pharmacies. Not to mention modern times, even in later generations, there are many people who are too lazy to go to clinics or hospitals and go directly to pharmacies to ask and buy medicine.

"At least seven days. Come back after you finish drinking and tell me about your mother's condition. It would be best if you could bring her here in the next two days so I can check her pulse."

The owner of the drugstore is a kind-hearted man and he is also the chief doctor of the drugstore.

"Thank you. I'll bring her over when she's better."

Xu Qingyun was wearing very ordinary clothes today, and his face and hands were deliberately made up to look dark. He looked to be in his thirties and was a regular laborer.

Even if Yan Ming saw him like this, he would not be able to recognize him unless he looked at him carefully a few more times.

"how much is it?"

Xu Qingyun took out his purse, an old, worn-out purse filled with small change. It seemed like a lot of money, but in fact there wasn't much.

I have to say that his acting skills are much better than those of ordinary people. Just this performance is exactly the same as that of a real coolie.

"Just give me six cents."

The shopkeeper sighed inwardly. In fact, these medicines were worth more than eighty cents, but the man in front of him was a filial son and it was obvious that he had not had a good life, so he did not want to charge him more money.

Six cents can protect the capital, so it doesn’t matter if you make less or no profit.

He is a member of the organization, even if he is in hiding, he still has an instinctive sympathy for the poor.

"Thank you, doctor."

Sixty cents was all he needed to spend most of his purse. Xu Qingyun carefully took the medicine bag back home. There were seven prescriptions of medicine in it, and each prescription cost less than ten cents on average.

This price is relatively affordable. Normally, a prescription of medicine costs about a dime, which is commonly known as a little over 10 cents.

Young man Xu picked up the medicine bag, bowed and expressed his gratitude, then left the pharmacy.

As he went in and out, he saw quite a few footprints on the ground.

When he came out, Xu Qingyun looked around again, then left holding the medicine bag.

The people arranged by Secretary Yang are already near the pharmacy, but they are focusing on observing places suitable for surveillance and whether there are any suspects.

They don't ask about people who normally come in and out of the pharmacy.

The pharmacy business is good, with many people coming in and out every day. There are only two of them, and it is impossible for them to keep an eye on all the customers.

They had no idea that the person they wanted to check had already arrived.

Arriving at a safe house, Xu Qingyun poured himself a glass of water.

The drugstore owner was a kind-hearted man. He still had the medicines. After he left, he went to another drugstore to ask the price and found out that the owner had undercharged him.

People with this kind of personality are indeed likely to be comrades in the organization.

Xu Qingyun investigated secretly and did not ask any questions, nor did he ask other people about the situation.

In the afternoon, Xu Qingyun changed his clothes, drove to the pharmacy again.

This time he didn't go in, but went to the shop next door to buy something.

As soon as he entered, he was discovered by comrades who were observing secretly.

However, seeing that he just bought some things and left, the comrade shifted his gaze and continued to look for other people to see if there were any suspicious people.

So far, no suspicious persons have appeared.

They already knew that their comrades were in the pharmacy and there was a possibility of exposure. They had to observe strictly, seriously and carefully. If they determined that the pharmacy was in danger, they had to evacuate their comrades in time.

The two understood the importance of this mission, and they were very careful and cautious when observing, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Special High Section, Xu Xiaoer finished a busy day and drove home.

"Xiaoer, we will have a holiday the day after tomorrow."

While eating, Bai Xu took the initiative to say that the school had summer vacation and it was time to go on vacation.

"It's a good holiday. I'll go wherever you want to go."

Xu Xiaoer said with a smile, while Bai Xu shook his head gently: "I'm not going anywhere. What I mean is that after the holiday, I have time and I can serve you. You don't have to cook every day, and you don't have to find someone to wash clothes. I can do all these things."

"I know you can do it, and you can do it better."

Xu Xiaoer laughed, but his expression changed as he finished speaking: "But I don't want you to do these things. I want you to keep your hands plump and white, so that they will look good even when you are old."

"This is your real mission. I want to hold your tender little hand forever."

As he said that, Xu Xiaoer really held Bai Xu's hand. Bai Xu lowered his head shyly, but his heart was extremely sweet.

"Xiaoer, do you really think so?"

"Of course, I'll lie to you, God bless you..."

Before Xu Xiaoer could finish his words, Bai Xu raised his hand and blocked his mouth: "Don't say that, I believe you."

Bai Xu originally wanted to take the initiative to do housework and take on the responsibilities of a wife, but was defeated by Xu Xiaoer with just a few words. When it comes to talking, even ten of her are no match for Xu Xiaoer.

Xu Xiaoer's mouth is as sweet as honey, so sweet that it can kill you.

"Okay, I won't tell."

Xu Xiaoer pulled Bai Xu into his arms, and the two of them hugged each other, feeling a sense of happiness.

On the other hand, Dai Congxue has found a new job.

She has given up her job at the school and resigned. There is nothing she can do about it. This is organizational discipline and she must abide by it.

However, she learned from Lao Liu that no spies had been to her residence or school. They had comrades who had checked and confirmed this.

This result made Dai Congxue very ashamed. Bai Xu did not betray her at all. Even if he recognized her, he did not report her in the end.

Unfortunately, she couldn't change the result and she definitely couldn't go back to that school.

But Bai Xu's attitude gave her hope. He was still the Bai Xu she knew, simple-minded and full of justice. She did not tell anyone about her affairs.

It is even possible that she did not even tell Xu Xiaoer.

This result gave Dai Congxue hope again, the hope of developing Bai Xu.

Whether to develop or not is not her decision, it depends on the opinions of her superiors.

There is hope after all.

Bai Xu was on summer vacation. She wanted to stay at home and do more housework to reduce Xu Xiaoer's burden. However, on the first day of the vacation, Xu Xiaoer drove her to the concession.

I bought various cosmetics worth hundreds of dollars in the concession.

He had Xu Xiaoer's share of the profits from the business, so he could easily afford this amount of money. Moreover, he also had the salary from the detective team. As the team leader, he earned more than twenty dollars a month.

This amount of money is totally within my reach.

"Waiter, you bought too much. I don't need these."

Back in the car, Bai Xu whispered, although she said no, she actually felt very sweet in her heart.

Which woman can resist her man’s sincere kindness to her?
"That's just a little bit, let's go."

Xu Xiaoer laughed. He had just bought various cosmetics and now went to the silk shop.

"Where's Boss Wang?"

After entering the shop, the waiter immediately asked, he knew the owner of this shop and his craftsmanship was very good.

"Boss Xu is here. Please go into the inner room and wait. I'll go call the boss."

When the shop assistant saw Xu Xiaoer, he immediately ran over, bowed, and brought Xu Xiaoer and Bai Xu inside.

After making the tea, he ran out again.

"Bai Xu, this shopkeeper has the best craftsmanship. We'll make some good clothes for you later."

Xu Xiaoer introduced them to Bai Xu. Bai Xu was slightly stunned. How many?

She noticed when she came in just now that there were only good materials and top-grade silks in here, and the silks alone were worth a lot of money.

It costs at least dozens of dollars to make a set of clothes.

How many more sets does Xu Xiaoer want to make for her? How much does it cost?
"Xiaoer, I don't need that much, why don't we go."

Just as Bai Xu was about to stand up, a man in his fifties came in. He was wearing a traditional long gown and immediately bowed when he saw Xu Xiaoer. "Boss Xu, why didn't you call before you came? I was waiting to pick you up."

"Boss Wang, you're too polite. I'm here on short notice. This is my wife, Bai Xu. Please help her make some clothes that fit her."

Xu Xiaoer chuckled, and the shopkeeper immediately looked at Bai Xu: "It turns out to be Mrs. Xu. I'm so sorry."

Bai Xu wanted to leave, but when he saw the shopkeeper had already taken out a ruler, he had to give up.

"Mrs. Xu, you have a great figure. No matter what kind of clothes you wear, they will definitely look great on you."

Boss Wang helped Bai Xu measure the size and said with a smile. Bai Xu lowered his head again, his face slightly red.

Xu Xiaoer stood up and it was his next task.

"Use the best material and make two cheongsams first, in the latest style. They can't be the same, and the colors can't be the same."

"Also make a white suit for formal occasions."

"There are also two sets of daily clothes. The material should be good, but look low-key, like a student's uniform."

Just as Xu Xiaoer said, he asked for several sets of clothes. The two cheongsams alone were very valuable.

Cheongsam was popular in this era. Both men and women regarded cheongsam as the most beautiful clothes, and Xu Xiaoer was no exception.

You should love your own wife and give her all the things she deserves.

"Xiaoer, there are too many."

Bai Xu was startled and hurriedly pulled Xu Xiaoer's sleeve.

“Not much, this is for this year, we will do more next year.”

Xu Xiaoer smiled slightly, took Bai Xu's hand and came to Boss Wang: "Do it as quickly as possible and send it to me when it's done."

"Don't worry, Boss Xu. I'll put aside my other work and do Mrs. Xu's first. I'll give her one as a gift once I finish one."

Boss Wang replied quickly, and Xu Xiaoer nodded with satisfaction: "That's about right. This is the money for the clothes. If you get more, I'll refund you, and if you get less, I'll pay you."

Xu Xiaoer directly gave Boss Wang a gold bar. These clothes would cost at least two or three hundred dollars.

"No, no, I don't need so much. I'll just leave some money for you later. Boss Xu, you can take the money first. I'll make the clothes well. Don't worry, I'll definitely satisfy you."

Boss Wang was shocked. Such a large amount of money was more than the value of five sets of clothes, so he didn't dare to accept it.

Besides, he is Xu Xiaoer's client.

He had to go through Xu Xiaoer to get the silk and other raw materials he wanted at a lower price.

"Take it if you're asked to. If there's any extra, just return it to me. Remember, the clothes must be made well."

Xu Xiaoer glared at him. How could he not pay when he brought his wife out to buy things?
Besides, he never had the habit of not paying. He was honest and trustworthy in business and never defaulted on payments.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Boss Xu."

Boss Wang had no choice but to take the gold bars. After seeing Xu Xiaoer and his wife off, he immediately packed up his things and prepared to make clothes for Bai Xu.

Boss Xu’s matter is the most important.

He now only gets goods from Boss Xu. If he offends Xu Xiaoer and he stops supplying him with goods, the price will only be higher if he gets goods from other places.

Moreover, the supply is limited, and the Japanese have always been very strict in controlling these things.

"Waiter, we've spent too much money."

After coming out, Bai Xu said again that she had never thought that she could spend hundreds of dollars in one day.

Even though her father was a businessman, he had never been so extravagant.

His father's business only makes three or four hundred dollars a year, which is not even as much as what he spent today.

"It's okay. If you can spend, you can earn. Come on, I'll take you to the movies."

Xu Xiaoer did nothing else today except accompany his wife, buy good things, and go directly to the cinema.

Movies are a new thing in this era. Most people can't even watch them. Even many people in China don't know that there is such a thing as movies.

There happened to be a foreign romance movie showing in the cinema today.

Both of them were educated people and could understand some of it. In the cinema, Bai Xu leaned gently on Bai Xiaoer, looking so happy.

Movies are indeed something that can easily warm up young people.

The development of later films has been even more rapid in the new century.

Various types of films are emerging one after another, including science fiction and animation, all of which have reached the world's top level.

Although there is no movie that has entered the top ten box office in the world for the time being, everyone believes that it will appear in the future.

Especially the little Nezha, an animated film that topped the domestic box office for nine days. Many people have great expectations for this movie and its sequel.

In future China, all flowers will bloom, science and technology will lead the world, and national rejuvenation will be just around the corner.
