Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 213 Temptation
"You're here." Gu Yansheng smiled and stood up. "Come on, let me show you your new house."

"What new house?" Shen Shuyun asked in surprise.

“Of course, it’s a new house where I can keep my mistress.” Gu Yansheng smiled.

Shen Shuyun's face was slightly flushed, but it was hard to tell whether it was genuine or feigned.

"I'll go buy you a few outfits first, otherwise people will start to question my taste, Gu Yansheng."

The office attire for the municipal government is okay to wear sometimes, so I'll just buy a few pieces to keep in mind, and let her buy the rest herself later.

After buying clothes, they drove to Yuyuan Road. At the entrance of the alley, Gu Yansheng explained to her, "There was just an assassination attempt, and now people from Hanoi are staying here. So at the entrances of alleys where Wang Jingwei's people live, there are people from No. 76 checking identities at both ends. This will continue."

Shen Shuyun nodded, watching as the people from No. 76, together with the police station, set up a stall at the entrance of the alley. They made no attempt to hide it, clearly telling the Military Intelligence Bureau not to try to infiltrate.

As Gu Yansheng's car passed by, the previously listless policeman and the captain of Operation 76 immediately stood up, straightened their clothes, and stood ramrod straight. The policeman saluted, and the people from Operation 76 bowed.

Gu Yansheng's car usually doesn't stop, let alone go for inspections, but it stopped today.

The car window rolled down, and Gu Yansheng waved to the police.

The policeman ran up to him cheerfully: "Director Gu, what are your orders?"

"Get to know her. She'll be coming and going here often from now on. Call her Miss Shen."

"Yes, yes, that's all." The policeman peeked inside and greeted Shen Shuyun with a smile and a salute. "Hello, Miss Shen. This is Chen Youfa. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."

Shen Shuyun nodded slightly to him.

Gu Yansheng took out 20 yuan and gave it to him, saying, "Things have been tough lately, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, I can't accept this."

"Take it."

"Thank you, Director Gu. Thank you, Miss Shen."

Chen Youfa couldn't stop laughing and kept bowing.

"Let's go."

Drive a little further ahead, turn a corner, and you'll arrive at the villa that Gu Yansheng bought with public funds; it's in a European style.

There were already guards standing at the entrance.

"Mr. Gu."

"Mr. Gu."

"Yes, call her Miss Shen."

"Hello, Miss Shen."

"Hello."

"These are people from the Jiangbei Gang," Gu Yansheng briefly introduced her before leading her into the house.

The house is fully furnished and equipped. It's his own house, so his secretary naturally took the time to purchase the furniture. Everything was made of high-quality materials, and the new government was footing the bill anyway.

Shen Shuyun was just a special agent, not a young lady from a wealthy family, so she was quite curious about the interior structure of this house.

He turned his head and said silently, "Is it safe?"

Gu Yansheng didn't answer, but called out directly, "Aunt Liu."

"Oh, sir, you're back." Aunt Liu, who was cooking, came out of the kitchen.

"This is Aunt Liu, and this is Miss Shen."

After exchanging pleasantries, Aunt Liu asked with a slight smile, "Sir, will you be eating here later? If you are, I think I'll have to go buy some groceries. I wonder what Miss Shen likes to eat?"

"Eat up, just buy whatever you like."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Gu Yansheng led Shen Shuyun upstairs, looked at all the rooms one by one, and finally entered the master bedroom.

Gu Yansheng then said, "It's certainly not absolutely safe, but there are only these people in the house, so it shouldn't be a problem to talk in private."

"When we bought the houses, because Wang Jingwei's men were afraid of being wiretapped, all the houses we bought were thoroughly inspected by the 76th Division, and the walls were even checked with instruments. We can currently assure you there's no wiretapping." Shen Shuyun was far from the intelligence center and didn't even know how many houses Wang Jingwei's men had bought here. At most, she knew from the newspapers that Wang Jingwei's men had encountered the Military Intelligence Bureau while buying houses here, so Gu Yansheng had to briefly explain the situation.

"I understand." Shen Shuyun nodded and gave a smile. "If I stay here permanently, I will check on things regularly."

"Well, as for this Aunt Liu, I have a chef who can recommend her. She's good at Hunan cuisine and can also cook Shanghai cuisine, but definitely not as well as Hunan cuisine. She should be a good person. If you don't like the taste, you can find someone else yourself."

"Why did you hire a Hunan cuisine chef? Do you like Hunan food?" Shen Shuyun asked with a surprised smile.

She knew Gu Yansheng's background; he was from Hangzhou and shouldn't like spicy food.

“I can handle spicy food, but this is mainly for people in Hanoi. Does anyone like spicy food and can drink alcohol?” Gu Yansheng walked towards the liquor cabinet.

“Yes, I can drink it.” Shen Shuyun nodded.

She thought about who the Hunan cuisine was prepared for, and couldn't help but smile, "Being an official like you must be very difficult; even hiring a chef requires considering others."

"Hiring a chef can be incredibly useful; there's no business in the world more profitable than that. Besides, I have more than one chef."

Gu Yansheng poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to her, leaned on the table and smiled, "Relax, don't be so formal. Your job is just to send a message. As long as you're not involved in the process, you're absolutely safe. Get used to your role and find your feeling of being the lady of the house."

There are plenty of sharp-eyed people coming from Hanoi, and Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun from No. 76 might also come here. You'll likely meet them in the future. If you act distant, they won't be able to see through you.

We've brought you here now so you can adapt.

"Wait for me a moment." Shen Shuyun downed her drink in one gulp, then grabbed her bag and went into the bathroom.

When he came out again, his hair was disheveled and draped over his shoulders. He had taken off his coat and was wearing only a single shirt with one button undone, and his chest was heaving.

She also had a light application of makeup on her face.

She picked up the wine glass on the table, walked up to Gu Yansheng, took his arm, looked into his eyes, and breathed softly.

"how about this?"

Gu Yansheng remembered that when he first met Shen Shuyun, she looked a lot like the girls in schools of that era.

but now.

His eyes were filled with such adoration that they could practically be drawn out.

She is both innocent and alluring.

Sure enough, Gu Yansheng's heart skipped a beat.

Last time we hugged, I had to touch his back to prevent him from hearing my heartbeat, but now I don't need to anymore.

"Does your Military Intelligence Bureau still teach this?" Gu Yansheng asked, quite surprised.

Shen Shuyun smiled slightly and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "I can play any role. This is a basic course. Besides, some people can do it even without being taught."

Gu Yansheng's expression was enigmatic as he sighed, "The Party and the State are indeed full of talented people, and you are among the best."

Shen Shuyun took a step closer, stood on tiptoe, and asked, "So what do you want to do now?"

Gu Yansheng blinked and said quite seriously, "I was thinking, if I take the opportunity to hug you, will you kick me and then tell Boss Dai on me?"

Shen Shuyun's mind went blank for a moment, then she burst into laughter, helpless, all her efforts had been in vain.

With a sigh, she took a step back and, like Gu Yansheng, leaned against the dressing table, right next to Gu Yansheng.

"I got an excellent grade in this course. Is it because my level is too low right now? Why don't you have any impulse or desire?"

Gu Yansheng chuckled and swirled his wine glass. "Have you forgotten that I'm a lawyer? Your first thought is whether it will break the law. Does the Military Intelligence Bureau's internal rules state how to punish those who molest female subordinates?"

"Back then, this was actually the question you were thinking about?"

Shen Shuyun's mouth opened slightly, and she opened her eyes in admiration. People are indeed different.

She believed in her own charm.

The fact that she could endure this situation shows that Gu Yansheng truly has great willpower, considering that her status was not equal to that of Gu Yansheng.

Even if it really happened, Boss Dai wouldn't actually do anything to Gu Yansheng.

"Want to try? I'm willing." Shen Shuyun was unwilling to give up and decided to try again.
