Chapter 207: Sincerity is the ultimate technique

How long does it take for the head of the department to come from Goose Lane?

About fifteen minutes. Wutong Road is not far. He should be here soon.

If someone were to clear the way, it would be even faster. However, the head of the department would not be that high-profile about this matter. He would probably travel by car.

Zhang Yong didn't need to go and wait for the head of the department so early.

Instead, he could take it easy. He could wait for the Director to arrive first, and then join him later.

Sometimes, it was better if he wasn't there.

So, without any qualms, he grabbed Xia Lan's hand and stroked it gently.

It must be admitted that these female spies were carefully selected. Each one was pretty and had a wonderful figure.

They fully conformed to the Chinese aesthetic.

When it comes to aesthetics, the Japanese actually understand the Chinese best!

'Are you polite?' Xia Lan bit her lip.

'You know what kind of person I am,' Zhang Yong said shamelessly.

'You dare to do that with Miss Song here.'

'She didn't say no!'

'Then I'm saying no now.'

Song Ziyu reached out and took his hand away. She also bit her lip, just like Xia Lan.

Zhang Yong: ...

Okay. You Song family are full of hot air. I'll let go.

But I'll tell you clearly. In this life, I, Zhang Yong, cannot have a female protagonist. I can only have a supporting actress.

In case I die, the female protagonist will have to wear mourning clothes. But the supporting actress doesn't have to.

Well, Miss Song, you don't want to wear mourning clothes, do you...

He reached out again and took Xia Lan's hand.

He was shameless.

But Song Ziyu took his hand away again.

'You'd better go back to work. Dr Xia and I have something to discuss.'

'I can't go back now.'

'Why?'

'The director is here.'

'Your boss is here, shouldn't you go back to greet him?'

'There are some things that I don't know better.'

'What things?'

'You want to know?'

'Yes!'

Both nodded at the same time.

Zhang Yong then waved his hand mysteriously. He told the two women to bring their heads closer.

He also took the opportunity to touch Xia Lan's hand.

Song Ziyu reached out to take it off, so he grabbed her hand as well.

Song Ziyu, if you keep coming on to me like this, I'm really not going to hold back. When the time comes, if I really die, you'll really have to wear mourning clothes!

"You...'

Song Ziyu blushed. She bit her lip.

Xia Lan rolled his eyes at him. But he didn't take his hand away.

What else could they do when they were in this situation?

Last time at the hospital, they had done even more outrageous things.

The point was that Song Ziyu seemed to be infatuated as well. He didn't care at all that he was a scumbag.

'That's because...'

He suddenly kissed Xia Lan on the face.

The main point was shamelessness. Taking advantage of her. And then making Song Ziyu angry.

'You...'

Xia Lan bit her lip.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak. This bastard.

I really hope Song Ziyu slaps him.

Unfortunately...

It didn't happen!

"You say it!'

It so happened that Song Ziyu pretended not to see.

Zhang Yong: ...

Damn it! This woman has a problem!

Does she really want to chase after and marry me?

That's ridiculous...

However, in full view of everyone, he couldn't do anything more crazy.

After all, he was a human being, not an animal.

'There are a lot of treasures inside. They are all the Director's favourites.'

'So what?'

'The Director may have hidden one or two, two or three, three or four...'

'What's it got to do with you?'

'I'd be embarrassed to see it! The Director would be embarrassed too!'

'What about the others?'

'The others are lowly officials and don't have the privilege of being around the Director. Naturally, they won't see it.'

'You really are a sly one.'

'No. I was taught by others.'

Zhang Yong unleashed his ultimate sincerity technique. That's right. He was taught by others.

Primarily, Li Boqi taught him. Then he applied what he had learned to other situations. It seems he understood quite quickly.

If you want to talk about professional skills as an agent, he doesn't know anything. But he can read the mood of his superiors, please them, flatter them, and kiss their asses. It seems like he's got it all figured out.

Well, his skill tree is completely off.

For example, when the director came, he immediately thought of avoiding taboo subjects.

It's really better if you're not there for this kind of thing. It's embarrassing for Boss Dai. No matter how much trust there is, it's still embarrassing.

'So when are you going back?'

'In about fifteen minutes.'

'Then you pay the bill. You bullied Dr Xia. Pay the bill as an apology.'

'No problem with that. Dr Xia, do you want to be bullied some more? Then I'll take you home.'

'Get lost!'

Xia Lan snapped.

Even Song Ziyu couldn't help, so what else could she do?

When someone is despicable, they are invincible. They have no shame and are the best in the world. Meeting someone like Zhang Yong was considered bad luck for her. From then on, she sank into depravity.

Her plan to capture the spy was impossible to complete. Zhang Yong had come between them.

She could only capture the guy in front of her.

However, she was not willing to give up. This scum in front of her was not worth it!

A little secret agent from the Lixing Society was not worth her sacrifice.

'Then tell us the story of capturing the Japanese spies!' Song Ziyu suddenly looked full of curiosity.

'Which aspect do you want to hear?'

'Just pick the one you told recently.'

'Recently! Oh, we caught two more Japanese spies. But they were small fry. Not very useful. After a bit of intimidation, they agreed to go back and work as undercover agents, so we let them go back.'

'Let them go back?'

'Yes. They signed confessions admitting they were Japanese spies. And they promised to go back to the Japanese side and work as undercover agents, providing us with information.'

'Really? Is there more like that?'

'Yes. Double agents. There are many. Now they are Japanese spies on the surface, but in fact they are our people.'

'They, they, are really that obedient?'

'If they disobey, we will publish their confession, and they are dead.'

'Oh. You are really amazing.'

Song Ziyu nodded thoughtfully. She really didn't understand. And she was really curious.

What Zhang Yong said was all she had never known.

However, she didn't realise that all of this was just Zhang Yong's nonsense. He was just talking to Xia Lan.

Trying to get the Japanese spies to write a confession? Go back and become double agents?

That's just wishful thinking. It's impossible.

Even if they were tortured, they wouldn't talk. Not to mention writing a confession.

But it doesn't matter. Lying doesn't cost anything. Zhang Yong didn't know any tricks. He just wanted to deliberately create some chaos for the enemy.

We're not good at construction, but we're number one at sabotage.

It's very difficult to build trust. But it's very easy to create suspicion.

Especially in the spy business.

Once trust is broken, it can never be repaired.

This also applies within the Japanese spy ring.

If you're considered suspicious, you're definitely suspicious.

The next step will definitely be something you don't want to accept.

If Xia Lan believes it, then that's the best. It doesn't matter if she doesn't believe it. It's no trouble to say it.

In fact, Xia Lan was indeed half-believing and half-doubting. At the same time, she was very anxious.

She couldn't tell whether Zhang Yong's story about the double agent was true or not. However, she knew that if it was true, it would be very troublesome.

The biggest fear of any spy organisation is a traitor.

What's deadly is that Zhang Yong never revealed the identities of the two Japanese spies who had been arrested.

She judged that Zhang Yong was doing it on purpose.

This is confidential and cannot be disclosed.

It could be the Tan agency, the Huai agency, the Lan agency. Or even the Special High-Level Section.

So what do we do?

How do we prevent it?

There's no way. We can only investigate internally.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Yong said goodbye and left. He drove back to 31 Wutong Road.

Sure enough, the department head had already completed the 'selection' process.

'Director! I'm late!'

'Where have you been?'

'I just finished making a phone call when I ran into Song Ziyu.'

'You talked to her?'

'I borrowed her to impress someone else. We sat in a café for a while.'

'Good. That's progress.'

The director nodded with satisfaction. A nice smile.

Zhang Yong knew that the director had definitely picked up something extraordinary.

Play dumb.

As if nothing had happened.

You see, now it's so natural. Both him and the Director.

'I'll be going now!'

'Yes!'

'You handle the rest.'

'Yes!'

Zhang Yong was more and more certain that the Director was unable to hold back any longer.

There was definitely something big that had made the normally composed Director hurry back to admire it. He didn't even want to stay here for another minute.

'Shaolong.'

'Secretary Mao.'

'Well done!'

'Yes!'

Secretary Mao gives a thumbs-up.

Well, it seems that the mood of the Director is one of pure joy.

Well, I guess that for the next while, even if I am tyrannical and lawless, the Director will still protect me. As long as I don't demolish Chicken and Goose Lane.

I'm curious. What exactly is this treasure? What could possibly make the Director so happy?

Well, don't ask.

Never pretend you don't know.

What should I do now?

Continue exploring, of course!

Boss Dai has already taken the most precious treasures away, so the rest is all ours.

No, it's the entire Fuxing Society's.

If there's something you like, you can take one or two, or three or four...

and register the rest.

But to be honest, Zhang Yong wasn't interested in any of that.

What he was more concerned about was whether there was any cash hidden in this mysterious little foreign-style building.

Silver notes, US dollars, British pounds...

If there was, where would it be hidden?

The treasure hunt begins!
