Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 209 Ambush
"Give it to me?"

Shen Shuyun realized what she meant as soon as she asked the question and guessed, "You want me to slowly show off and let others know about our relationship?"

"Smart." Gu Yansheng nodded. "Now that you're my woman, it's only right that I give you some jewelry. Show it off gradually, and you can decide the timing yourself."

Gu Yansheng sensed Zhou Shuhai's emotions and realized that she might have a strong liking for him.

This is not surprising. Considering Zhou Shuhai's unhappy family background, it's perfectly normal for her to feel warmth from his presence and want to get closer to him.

Gu Yansheng needs to be wary of Minister Zhou, and Zhou Shuhai.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Shuyun picked up the bracelet from the table, put it on her wrist, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Gu Yansheng nodded repeatedly, "Of course it looks good. I carefully selected it from a bunch of jewelry. You can wear it for now, and I'll give you a few more pieces when I have time. Oh, by the way..."

Gu Yansheng took out his wallet and gave her a wad of cash, not much, just 200 US dollars worth of Japanese yen. "Since you've become my woman, you should have some money. The city government's income isn't high, so you should spend it. Consider this a mission."

Shen Shuyun had to accept the money without hesitation and put it in her pocket.

"Are you tired? Let me give you a head massage."

"it is good."

Gu Yansheng leaned back, and Shen Shuyun walked behind him, pressing her fingers on his head and beginning to massage him.

Gu Yansheng told her about the recent changes in the situation. Shen Shuyun was sent by Boss Dai, and one of her missions must be to monitor whether he was reliable.

Intelligence can be cross-verified through multiple channels. There are many Kuomintang agents in Shanghai, and those that need to be reported should be reported.

"Should I inform my elders about this?"

"No need. They've been to No. 76. It's not exactly a secret. By now, the elders must already know."

Shen Shuyun gave a soft "hmm" and said no more, focusing on massaging Gu Yansheng.

"I'll send a car to pick you up later, and you can stay at my place for a couple of days."

Shen Shuyun paused briefly, then immediately agreed, "You can arrange it."

"Well, stay for a few days now and then, and then go to work as usual. Of course, you can work anytime you want. Just let others gradually know that our relationship is progressing and that you are indeed dating a man behind the scenes. That's enough. You can even stop going to work. Keep her hidden away and be spoiled. No one will care."

However, you should be prepared that, from the perspective of gossipy women in the office, once they find out that I'm the man behind you, it's very possible they'll be jealous and gossip about you behind your back.

"This is nothing at all."

Shen Shuyun smiled faintly and continued the massage.

After enjoying the master's services, it was almost time. The wives of these men should be getting ready to go out, so Gu Yansheng had to act as a temporary housekeeper.

A group of defectors from Hanoi took a one-day trip to buy houses in western Shanghai, accompanied by Gu Yansheng.

Since it's inconvenient to eavesdrop inside, discussing the final plan under the pretext of buying a house is the perfect solution.

Women and children strolled along Yuyuan Road, looking for long-term residences, and had to look at every villa.

Meanwhile, the men gathered in the back to discuss the negotiations.

Yuyuan Road is very long, longer than Jisifeier Road. There are many alleyways on both sides of Yuyuan Road, so there are still many houses to choose from.

It's just that those closer to No. 76 are relatively safer.

But ultimately, houses are a matter of personal preference, and since this isn't a newly built villa area, many houses already had owners. So in the end, no two families actually lived next to each other; the closest they could be considered as neighbors in the same alley.

“Now that we’ve bought the house, let’s get someone to clean it, and then we can go check out the furniture market in Shanghai,” suggested a female family member.

"Great idea! This place is so close to the concession, let's go take a look around."

Do you know where the furniture market is in the concession?

“How could I not know? I’ve been to Shanghai before, and besides, Mrs. Chu has always been with Dean Chu in Shanghai, so she must be very familiar with the city.”

Chu Minyi's wife smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm quite familiar with Shanghai."

With a destination and a guide, the group happily told the man they were talking to behind them and headed down the alley to stroll and explore the concession area.

Wang and Minister Zhou laughed it off, saying, "Without the women's chatter, we can finally have some peace and quiet."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"It would be even better if we had another cup of tea, so we could talk while we drink."

"That's right, let's go have some tea."

As the women walked away, as they exited the alley and were talking, a sudden burst of gunfire erupted at the alley entrance!

"what!"

Immediately following was a woman's terrified scream! The traitors present changed their expressions instantly and rushed forward, shouting as the crowd there consisted of all their family members!
They didn't even care about the danger!

Li Shiqun reacted quickly, immediately ordering his guards to provide support.

"Mr. Wang, Minister Zhou, don't go! Don't move! Come inside and let us handle it!"

There were a lot of guards deployed by the 76th Division today, and it's reasonable to assume that there were spies from the 76th Division present.

There were certainly women around at the alley entrance, and quite a few of them.

A barrage of gunfire erupted at the alley entrance, and after a moment of impulsiveness, the group of traitors chose to hide in a nearby villa.

Nobody knew what was happening outside. They paced back and forth in the yard, cursing as they went.

Ten minutes later, the gunfire completely stopped, and two minutes later, a captain from Unit 76 ran over to report.

"How is it?" Li Shiqun asked anxiously.

The captain, panting, said, "Sir, we've driven them away, and the captain is in pursuit."

"Where are the casualties?"

"The statistics are still being compiled, but..." the captain hesitated before continuing.

"But what? Speak!" Li Shiqun demanded.

The captain glanced at the group of important figures and said in a deep voice, "Women have been shot, and more than one."

"Who?"

"Who?"

A group of traitors immediately began to ask questions.

"How could this happen!" Li Shiqun immediately shouted. "I've repeatedly warned you, how could you still make such a mistake!"

Faced with this situation, the captain was speechless. "This... I am guilty."

"Is it safe now?" Li Shiqun's face was so dark it could drip water.

"It's safe."

"Go and have a look."

"Go and see."

A group of people rushed towards the alley entrance.

The alleyway was actually part of the concession area. When the Military Intelligence Bureau and the 76th Division were fighting, the police officers were very unlikely to hear it. But as soon as the fight was over, the police officers would be replaced at any time.

We've arrived now; our responsibility is to maintain order.

As they approached the alley entrance, the women retreated to the villa courtyard next to the alley entrance, weeping and trembling.

The entrance was guarded menacingly by members of Team 76.

Everyone immediately went to the courtyard to find their families.

Finding it was a huge relief.

Those who couldn't find him changed their expressions drastically.

"No, no!" He turned and rushed out of the alley.

Stepping out of the alley, one could clearly see the figures of the women lying on the ground and a large pool of blood, no more than ten meters away from the group.

"Ah! Mei Ying!" The first person in the crowd whose expression changed drastically was Li Shengwu.

He immediately recognized his wife among the people lying on the ground.

A total of twelve family members were lying on the ground, including the old and the young.

"big eater!"

Inside number 76, Li Shiqun slapped the captain across the face.

"How could you possibly protect us! I warned you a thousand times, five lives were lost, your death is nothing to regret!"

Of the twelve people, seven were still alive and could be rescued, while five died on the spot.

Li Shiqun was furious. Such a big protection operation had gone wrong like this. Where was he supposed to put his face? How was he supposed to explain this to Mr. Wang and Minister Zhou?
