Chapter 648: The Red Party Can't Do This Kind of Thing

Hunan, Changde, Military Statistics Training School.

The morning sun was just right, spilling into a conference room in the school. The sunlight penetrated the glass and bathed Yu Manli, who was standing straight. Her whole body was covered in a layer of radiance, but she didn't feel warm.

Her great revenge had been avenged, and she had originally intended to die by turning herself in, but she was released and sent here to participate in special agent training. With no relatives, no friends, and no worries, she lived with the pain of the past. Although living one day was earning one day, it was also suffering one more day.

She put all her energy into training, and her brain was occupied by a large amount of knowledge, leaving her no time to think too much. The life-and-death training made her body exhausted, and she would fall asleep as soon as she hit the pillow. Focus made her learn fast and practice well.

Looking at the man sitting there, she knew that she had to truly start a new life.

Wang Tianfeng sat there, also bathed in the sunlight. He walked in the darkness, not knowing the road ahead, so how could he not like the sunlight?

His gloomy eyes fell on Yu Manli in front of him. After a long time, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice: "You didn't live up to my expectations. In these four months, your marksmanship, fighting, telecommunications, tracking, and hiding were all top-notch. Your body has also been nourished, and you look like a twenty-something-year-old virgin and a knowledgeable youth again."

Although the contact time was short, Yu Manli had a deep impression of Wang Tianfeng, this "savior-enemy." According to her intuition, this was an insidious, vicious, and cunning man. He had a mouth that made people want to tear it apart; how many sharp and mean words could be spoken calmly. So she knew very well that Wang Tianfeng was speaking ironically, letting her know that she was just a whore from a brothel and shouldn't take herself too seriously.

She didn't respond, just looked at Wang Tianfeng. She still wanted to die; let him say what he wanted.

At this time, she wasn't afraid of Wang Tianfeng. If she wasn't even afraid of death, how could she be afraid of Wang Tianfeng? With nothing to seek, there was nothing to fear. It was only later, because of Ming Tai, who walked into her heart, that she felt Wang Tianfeng's viciousness, and her attitude toward Wang Tianfeng changed to fear.

Wang Tianfeng didn't mind Yu Manli's attitude. He naturally knew that Yu Manli wanted to die, that there was no hope in living, but he simply used the "national righteousness" and the saying that "death is heavier than Mount Tai" to persuade her. Of course, his words weren't that pleasant to hear; the gist was that dying early or late was the same, so it wouldn't be too late to do some good deeds and accumulate some virtue before dying. After all, when Yu Manli took revenge, the bandits she dealt with had their families broken and wives and children scattered, which could be considered as having some innocent people.

"You've held a gun for four months; you haven't lost your signature skills, have you?"

Ignoring Yu Manli's unhappy expression, he continued: "You thought right; it's time for you, a person who should have died, to be of use. I need you to go to Shanghai and use all your skills to seduce and confuse a man, to get some supplies from his hands for us, and to extract some intelligence from his mouth. Your identity is a Chinese teacher at a Catholic primary school in the French Concession. This identity is very suitable for you. I remember your academic performance was very good; teaching primary school Chinese shouldn't be a problem."

"When are we leaving, and how long will the mission last?"

Yu Manli didn't like Wang Tianfeng's confident, "everything is under control" look, especially when he was saying these useless things that were just picking at her scars. So she interrupted Wang Tianfeng's solo performance.

"In three days, you will return to Shanghai with me. This mission has no time limit. No one understands the current situation. How long will the war last? Who will win and who will lose? If we lose, it's easy to say; we'll all be slaves of a conquered nation. If we win, how will the Party-State and the Red Party arrange things? These are all uncertain. Similarly, your target this time is also uncertain. He is currently 'three-no-leaning' (not leaning to any side), but he might not be in the future, and in the future, that will be another situation. So your mission is to always be by his side, gain his trust, until he dies, or you die. If I die, I will arrange for someone else to contact you. Precisely because of this, I said it's possible you might fall in love with him..."

Wang Tianfeng finally said what he wanted to say, regardless of Yu Manli's reaction, picked up a file bag on the table and threw it over: "This is the target's information, as well as your identity information. Familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. Any questions?"

Yu Manli opened the file bag. At first glance, she saw an official photo of Wang Yan in a police uniform on the top layer, followed by several photos of Wang Yan in casual attire. His eyes were deep, as if looking at her across the distance of time and space through the photo, with a faint smile on his face, making people feel very kind. His overall appearance was tough, his figure thin, and the smile gave people a sense of laziness and carelessness.

She looked at the photos twice and skipped them, starting to flip through the text information below. It recorded in detail Wang Yan's background and growth trajectory. The previous information was not very detailed, but since he started mixing on the street as a little hooligan in his teens, it was clear. One by one, it recorded the things Wang Yan had done. Fighting, killing, collecting protection fees, etc., were all common. Finally, it was known that he had some small power at the age of eighteen and began to intentionally hide behind the scenes. From then on, the information on the data became ambiguous, and probabilistic words like "suspected" and "very likely" began to appear frequently, until the current data, and even a copy of the information of Wang Wang Manchun, who had an affair with him, was attached.

This was not something that could be done overnight. Yu Manli flipped through it roughly and knew in her heart. She asked: "Are there your people under him?"

"It's 'us'!" Wang Tianfeng corrected, without answering the question, and didn't need to answer.

Yu Manli shook the thick information in her hand and said: "This Wang Yan is a meticulous old fox, even more cunning and vicious than you. With my skills, it's okay to fool those ignorant people, but I can't hide in front of him for long. If I'm exposed, what should I do?"

"You can think of this point, which shows that your understanding of yourself is quite clear."

Wang Tianfeng nodded, expressing his approval of Yu Manli. He continued: "If you are exposed, then admit it generously. Rest assured, he won't do anything to you. In fact, he will answer some questions. If you look carefully enough, in the personality summary on the first page, after 'greedy for money and lustful,' it says 'afraid of death.' He doesn't dare to be an enemy of the Party-State. In the future, you can still maintain a very good bed relationship, just like that woman arranged by the Special Higher Division. You were never meant to hide from Wang Yan, but from others. Once something happens, don't count on Wang Yan; it would be good if he doesn't kill you himself."

"So I'm just a megaphone sent by you to Wang Yan's side? A tool to maintain contact with him?"

"If you're not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of being a tool? You should be glad you have the qualification to be a tool; you must know that many people want to be tools but don't have the chance. Wang Yan is generous, and Shanghai is a prosperous and good place; you won't suffer. I just said, the situation is different, and the things to do are different. Now you are a tool for the Military Statistics Bureau to contact him. In the future, it might not be impossible for you to be the executioner who kills him personally."

Yu Manli didn't say much, stood at attention, saluted, hugged the information, and turned to leave.

In the empty office, only Wang Tianfeng was left sitting in the sunlight. He closed his eyes comfortably, rested his head on the back of the chair, with his butt on a small part of the chair, spreading out comfortably. His hand on the table tapped the table unconsciously, "dong, dong, dong..."

In the bedroom where the lingering atmosphere had not yet dissipated, only a bedside lamp was on. Wang Yan held a cigarette in one hand and hugged another woman who had delivered herself to his door in the other.

Yu Manli was indeed professional, her body was quite good, and the feeling was not bad. As for her illness, the original drama said she had syphilis, and was later saved by someone.

Wang Yan dared to roll on the bed with Yu Manli, so naturally, there was no problem. He sensed that Yu Manli had indeed been ill, but perhaps the illness wasn't the difficult-to-cure syphilis at this time, or perhaps she was really "hard-fated," plus the Boss Yu who saved her was willing to spend money to find a good doctor who cured her by mistake.

There was also another point, which was that Wang Yan's physique was good, and his resistance was ridiculously strong. Minor infectious diseases could not cause him any harm. Furthermore, when returning to the real world from this realm, the "Living Father" also gave a comprehensive maintenance service for the body, so there was no problem at all.

Moreover, if Yu Manli really had a problem, Wang Tianfeng would never dare to send her to Wang Yan. Before this, she must have undergone various examinations. Otherwise, that would be malicious poisoning, forcing Wang Yan to defect to the Japanese. This kind of brainless thing Wang Tianfeng would never do...

Yu Manli lay on the man's solid chest, rising and falling gently with his breathing. This man was very strong. Fortunately, she still had some combat power and supported the two hours of storm. After the passion, the discomfort caused by intense friction struck, confronting the joyful spirit after satisfaction, painful and happy. She somewhat understood why that vicious woman named Wang Wang Manchun, arranged by the Special Higher Division, had to wait for some time before having a tryst with this man.

"Whose person are you?"

The man's lazy voice suddenly sounded in her ear, catching her off guard. The voice was lazy, and although it was a question, she understood the certainty in his words. Exposed? This was her first thought. But before she could think too much, she had to give a response immediately. Although there were instructions early on, if she could not be exposed, of course, it was better not to be exposed.

"Whose person? I don't understand." She played dumb and recalled all the details since meeting at the Paramount in her mind.

"No need to play dumb. Were you sent by Iwai Eiichi?" Wang Yan said "no need to play dumb," while he himself was playing dumb, continuing to ask: "Or are you a person of the Kuomintang? Military Statistics or Central Statistics?"

Yu Manli was not sure if Wang Yan was testing her, so she leaned in intentionally, looked up, and blinked: "You suspect that I approached you with ulterior motives? Yes, but I just want to get some money from you. The situation is chaotic now, and the prices in Shanghai are high. How much can a Chinese teacher like me earn? It's not even enough for me to order a cheongsam. I'm really not sent by the Japanese, nor am I a person of the Kuomintang. Are you too cautious? I heard that you've slept with all the dance hostesses in Shanghai with enough beauty. They also approached you intentionally. Are they not sent by others?"

Wang Yan exhaled a puff of smoke, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the bedside table, and said with a smile: "Two points. First, your performance just now was very skilled, but you were suppressing resistance. This doesn't fit your identity as a Chinese teacher. After all, as a teacher who teaches and educates people, especially since you are not old, influenced by the environment, it's hard not to participate in various 'isms' and protecting the country. So according to normal performance, even if you had previous experience, you shouldn't be so knowledgeable and so good at catering."

"This second point, your body is good, your muscles are developed, and your resilience is also good. There are traces of having undergone special training. Ordinary women, even workers engaged in physical labor, or some rich young ladies who have activities, won't have such a body, because the muscles used are different, and their bodies are not as coordinated as yours, and their muscles are not as explosive. Also, although your hands have been treated with some medicine and look okay, they are actually a bit rough. There are some scars on your body; some can be seen as falling, but some are burned. You should have some stories."

"In addition, when I asked the question just now, your body was quite tense, which betrayed your inner emotions. With so many flaws, you can't hide them."

Yu Manli was silent for a while, broke away from Wang Yan's embrace, sat up just like that, and looked at Wang Yan suspiciously: "So, you discovered it when you were at the Paramount. Why did you still bring me home?"

"Very simple. I'm quite satisfied with you, and you delivered yourself to my door. If I don't take advantage of it, I'm a bastard."

"It seems that the rumors in the Shanghai streets are true: greedy for life and afraid of death, but also lustful." Seeing that Wang Yan didn't react at all, just looking at her chest with a smile, as if studying something, she pulled the quilt to cover her spring light and continued to ask: "You guessed Japanese and Kuomintang, why didn't you guess I was a person of the Red Party?"

"The Red Party can't do this kind of thing; they have discipline." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Tell me, whose person are you, and what is your purpose in approaching me?"

"I'm from the Military Statistics Bureau, and my superior is Wang Tianfeng. He asked me to extract intelligence from your mouth, and also to bridge the purchase of some contraband, mainly to help him establish contact with you. Because the person who contacted you before was exposed, it's not convenient to contact you openly now, and it won't be so convenient in the future, so he sent me over."

Yu Manli told the truth without any concealment. After all, Wang Tianfeng had already explained before that if discovered, just say it directly; no need to hide, and it couldn't be hidden.

"Actually, there's no need to do this. Although I quite like it, but in the final analysis, I haven't defected to the Japanese yet. Although there is indeed some cooperation, doing business with them and revealing some intelligence to them, that's all necessary for survival. Even if there really comes a day when I have to defect to the Japanese, I will definitely not be an enemy of your two parties. I don't have the intelligence you want here, so why bother? It's enough to arrange some people under my hand; why do you have to send you over to lie on my pillow? What a pity..."

Wang Yan sighed, reached out and pulled Yu Manli back into his arms, continuing to rub on her body.

Yu Manli didn't resist, let out a long sigh: "He is the superior. If he wants me to come, if I don't listen to the order, I'll be violating military law, and that's to be shot. You say, a little girl with no one to rely on, besides letting you take advantage, what other way is there?"

This was acting. Wang Yan knew Yu Manli's past. Facing a man again, no matter what, she couldn't be so natural. She had indeed been a prostitute, but that didn't mean she didn't care about her body. She would care very much. It was already not bad that she didn't have psychological rejection of men.

"This advantage is good, I like it very much. I said why there has been no movement recently; it turns out Wang Tianfeng had this idea. When you go back, tell him that Shanghai has been too quiet recently, and the sanction actions cannot stop. A while ago, I went to the Japanese banquet, and there were hundreds of traitors, big and small. Why keep them?"

"It's not that someone offended you, and you want the Military Statistics Bureau to take the blame for you, right? Like Zhang Xiaolin before."

"Zhang Xiaolin's death is indeed good for me, but the one who made the decision to kill him was Wang Tianfeng, this action section chief. He wants to be promoted to colonel, which has nothing to do with me. However, this time there is indeed a reason. At noon today, Du Yong was assassinated in Hong Kong. Du Yong made a fuss and pressured me through his disciples and old friends, asking me for an explanation, but it really wasn't arranged by me."

"You suspect it was done by the Japanese?"

"Besides them, there's no one else. So, let Wang Tianfeng kill a few big traitors. He gets the credit and also attracts the Japanese's attention, so they don't have time to study me. Isn't this a win-win good thing? You must have the list of the banquet. Besides a small part who had to go like me, the rest can be killed without mistake. As a reward for helping me attract fire, I will supply you with a small batch of medicine at cost price, and you can handle it yourselves. We are all warriors resisting Japan; I don't have the guts to find trouble with the Japanese, so consider it a consolation."

Wang Yan wasn't lying to Yu Manli. If Wang Tianfeng didn't show up, he would have arranged for someone to frame the Military Statistics Bureau in these two days. The Japanese had been looking at him too much recently, so he had to divert their attention; otherwise, he would be annoyed to death by having trouble every three days.

Yu Manli nodded: "Understood. I will tell the section chief tomorrow."

"If your contact method is very natural, then tomorrow. If it's not natural, then you wait until next week. From the moment you left the Paramount with me and got in the car, the Japanese investigation into you has already begun. I hope your identity information is detailed enough; otherwise, we won't have a chance to meet again."

"Thank you."

"It's getting late, sleep..."

Wang Yan turned off the lights, let go of Yu Manli, lay on the soft and comfortable big bed, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Yu Manli rubbed to the side silently, moved a distance away from Wang Yan, turned to the side, and left only a back with some scars to Wang Yan.

She hugged her shoulders, opened her eyes, and looked at the hazy moonlight through the white gauze curtains outside the window, sleepless for a long time... ===== CHAPTER 649 =====

"It's getting late, let's sleep..."

Wang Yan turned off the light, let go of Yu Manli, lay down on the soft, comfortable bed, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Yu Manli silently scooted to the side, putting some distance between herself and Wang Yan. She turned onto her side, leaving Wang Yan with nothing but her back, which was marked with a few scars.

She hugged her shoulders, eyes open, watching the hazy moonlight filtering through the white gauze curtains outside the window, unable to sleep for a long time...
