Chapter 692: The Beauty

Dead Man Plan, to deceive things outside, let me hear it and pass it to the enemy spy.

Wang Yan lowered his presence and watched the execution of the Dead Man Plan silently.

Just like in the original drama, Wang Manchun used her family to threaten Wang Tianfeng to submit and confess, killed Guo Qiyun, and also killed the girl who replaced Yu Manli, and Ming Tai was also caught in, causing some damage to the Kuomintang Shanghai station.

When arresting Ming Tai, Wang Tianfeng was still slashed in the throat by Ming Tai with a blade. This was a skill Wang Tianfeng taught Ming Tai earlier, and he knew Ming Tai's ability very well. So at the scene of arresting Ming Tai, he deliberately got close to Ming Tai, seeking death.

Ming Tai didn't want to live either, and after killing Wang Tianfeng, he wanted to swallow the blade and commit suicide, but Wang Tianfeng held him back, Ming Tai didn't die on the spot, and was captured alive by Wang Manchun.

Affected by this, Ming Lou was also controlled, restricted in action, and strictly monitored. Fortunately, Ming Tai was indeed hard-mouthed and hard-boned, and did not yield to torture. And this time he really didn't know anything, so at this time, he didn't hide his hatred for Ming Lou working for the Wang puppet group, and scolded Ming Lou and Ming Cheng.

This indeed helped Ming Lou, because even under the influence of drugs, Ming Tai was still scolding Ming Lou and Ming Cheng, with a look of heartache. Whether it was true or false, the Japanese still had the ability to distinguish. Ming Tai just didn't say anything about the Kuomintang, and there was nothing else important, so the credibility was high. And Ming Tai had just debuted, had too little experience, and had shallow Taoism. There were capable people in the Special Higher Education Division and 76, so didn't they just help Ming Lou.

And Ming Lou was very good at acting. As a big brother of a harmonious family, his disappointment was very well expressed. Similarly, innocence was also very well disguised. Of course, the necessary suspicion would still exist. Wang Yan, an outsider, was suspected, let alone Ming Lou, who was a player who held a post within the Wang puppet government. However, suspicion is suspicion, but whether to do it or not is another matter.

In order to get out of trouble, he still led Wang Manchun out, used Liang Zhongchun's ambition to want to move up, saved Ming Tai, and pitted Wang Manchun.

The development of the story also didn't exceed the plot. After getting the codebook and sending the codebook to the Third War Zone, the Japanese confirmed that the code was true through several situations detected. This matter, from the Japanese army on the front line to the consulate in Shanghai, then to the Special Higher Education Division, and finally to the people who participated in this matter, were all full of joy.

Because intelligence is ultimately for the service of war, the war on the front line is smooth, their work has results, and with results, it is natural that they should be promoted and get rich. They all look forward to a big victory, and everyone will be promoted and get rich together.

But unfortunately, things are destined not to proceed as they thought.

In early November, it was another autumn and winter in Shanghai. This winter, equivalent to the previous year, was so cold.

On this day, the Dead Man Plan, which had been planned for a year, finally had a result. That afternoon, the broadcast played the battle result of the Third War Zone that had just ended; the Japanese army was ambushed, and tens of thousands were killed or injured.

This news is a good result for some people, but for others, it is a life-threatening one.

At the first time the news spread, the Army Major General, who was the acting Chief of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Division, Fujita Yoshimasa, ordered the arrest of Wang Manchun.

Intelligence errors led to the defeat on the front line and heavy casualties; this matter must be held accountable. In addition to the military in China, there are also the Cabinet and the Army Headquarters in Japan, and everyone must have an explanation.

Fujita Yoshimasa has a lot of pots on his body, but he doesn't want to disembowel himself; he wants to find someone below to be a scapegoat. Undoubtedly, Wang Manchun, this Chinese person, is a good candidate. Because of this matter, Wang Manchun can be said to have participated in the whole process and grasped a certain degree of initiative; if she is not responsible, who is responsible? And the mole hidden inside who has never been caught, this matter can also be pressed on Wang Manchun together.

Doing these things, of course, cannot open Fujita Yoshimasa's responsibility, but at least he has tried his best to save himself. When the time comes, he will study how to kill a high-level subordinate; only high-level can share the responsibility of his main official. Let him disembowel himself, and retire early.

Wang Manchun had already reacted at this time; the real behind-the-scenes pusher was Ming Lou, the good senior brother who was still ambiguous with her two days ago. But it was too late to say anything; she had no evidence in her hand, and no one would believe her if she said it, only thinking that she was biting people indiscriminately to save her life...

"Wang-sang, you don't seem to have any feeling?"

"What feeling?" Wang Yan poured tea for Iwai Eiichi, looking at this short and strong little Japanese with incomprehension.

Iwai Eiichi said: "Your woman was caught and is about to be executed, aren't you sad?"

"Oh, so you are talking about this matter." Wang Yan shook his head with a bitter smile, "To say there is none is a lie. After all, since Section Chief Nantian sent her to approach me in the 38th year, it has been more than two years. People are not grass and trees, who can be heartless? But now that such a big thing has happened on the front line, she, the person who participated and led the whole process, should be responsible. And now General Fujita cannot even protect himself, let alone her? She wants to grasp greater power, so she must bear the corresponding responsibility; it is all her own looking for."

This is already the second day after Wang Manchun was caught. Iwai Eiichi looking for him is not for any serious business, just to see what his reaction is to this matter. After all, as one of the two women who have been with him for a long time, ordinary people think that there should be some weight in his place.

"A great man acts to avoid the long feelings of children. It is said that there are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world, you are not missing this one woman, the sadness is temporary, and the happiness in the future is long-lasting."

Iwai Eiichi laughed loudly, symbolically comforting Wang Yan, and then sighed: "This Fujita, I thought he was a steady person before, but I didn't expect such a big mistake this time. He didn't hurry to plead guilty and bear the consequences for his mistakes, but instead thought about clearing himself. He is not worthy of being a General of the Great Japanese Empire, nor is he worthy of being a samurai."

"Actually, General Fujita is also an unprovoked disaster; after all, who would have thought that the previous Wang Tianfeng came to die by himself. This bitter meat plan, how many people died besides Wang Tianfeng? Later, intelligence was obtained, and the front line must have verified it. Now they push all the responsibility to the Shanghai Special Higher Education Division. However, there is no way, who let General Fujita be the highest official of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Division? If such a big thing happens, it can only be counted on him. In such a situation, how can he be willing?"

"His best outcome is to retire early, you don't need to speak good words for him in front of me. An incompetent general tires three armies; no matter if he is innocent or not, he is in this position, which is his sin. Just like the previous Fujiwara Nobuya matter, no matter how incompetent he is, he died in my place, which is the responsibility I have to bear."

Iwai Eiichi waved his hand and said: "Alright, don't talk about these anymore. The imperial soldiers who died on the front line must have someone responsible. However, such a failure of a battle has no impact on the Great Japanese Empire..."

Dealing with Iwai Eiichi and saying some things, after Wang Yan left the Iwai Tianyue Gongguan, he went to Ming Lou's appointment.

"Come, Mr. Wang, I toast you, and apologize to you." Ming Lou poured wine for Wang Yan, and raised his glass with a smile, "However, in my opinion, you don't care too much about Wang Manchun, right? After all, you are just bed partners, and there is no real feeling."

Wang Yan sneered, but still touched the glass with him and drank the wine: "Of course I don't care, women are like clothes; without Wang Manchun, there are Li Manchun and Liu Manchun. But I'm afraid you are not as relaxed as you show. After all, you really have such a past."

To this point, there is no need to want face. The two talked about a woman who had common exchanges, but it was as if they were talking about an irrelevant person.

Ming Lou shook his head: "No matter how many past events, in front of the country and the nation, they are insignificant. The past is the past, and it doesn't represent anything. A woman with a snake-hearted heart like her, if it weren't for the situation, I would avoid it. It's good now, Liang Zhongchun took over the work of the intelligence department, and we are all relaxed in the future."

Wang Yan ate the food in big mouthfuls and muttered: "Alright, don't talk about these useless things, tell me, what are you looking for me for?"

"You also know about the previous matter; Ming Tai was caught and suffered extreme torture, and was later executed by Liang Zhongchun. But in fact, he was faking death to escape. Now more than a month has passed, his body has recovered a lot, and he can move. He can't stay in Shanghai anymore; staying one more day is one more point of danger. Next, he is going to work in Beijing. But now Shanghai is tight outside and loose inside, and it is not easy to get out. Only your caravan is free to enter and exit, and the inspection encountered is also simple. So I want to ask you to help and send Ming Tai to Beijing through your channels."

"Just this little thing?"

"It's just this little thing for you, but it's quite difficult for us."

"I don't believe you haven't planted people in my company; if you want to operate, you can arrange it yourself, why tell me?"

Ming Lou shook his head repeatedly: "Telling you and not telling you are two things."

Wang Yan pointed at him with chopsticks with a smile: "Hypocritical. How can I not know, my subordinates are leaking everywhere; it's the same thing whether you tell me or not. I can't explain it personally, so you should handle it yourself. My subordinates are strictly entering and loosely exiting; whoever has the ability will use it. However, I will say it first; if Ming Tai has

His subordinates do indeed have a serious problem with leaks, but the reason I say it is 'easy to enter but hard to leave' is because not just anyone has the strength to plant people among his subordinates. If one wants to secretly utilize his power, one must reach a certain position within his ranks, which is not a simple matter. Only the two parties can manage to do this. The Japanese can also do it, but their purpose is surveillance, so they merely send people to work in some important departments.

"That is of course the case. Since an accident occurred, one can only say that Ming Tai was unlucky; there is no reason to blame you. Thank you for your help!"

"Let's eat."

Wang Yan waved his hand, drinking and chatting with Ming Lou, listening to Ming Lou recount the entire process of the 'Dead Man's Plan,' especially emphasizing Wang Tianfeng's spirit of sacrifice...

That night, Wang Yan was alone at the Wang Tianyue Gongguan. Having heard that Wang Manchun had been arrested, Yu Manli had come over yesterday, appearing very stable and quite happy.

In the large study, he was leisurely reading and practicing calligraphy, enjoying the tranquility of being alone.

In this realm, although he remained relatively idle, the time he could spend quietly alone was actually scarce. During the day, he had to wander around, meeting all sorts of people, and at night, he had to maintain his persona and toil away. Therefore, occasionally, he would go to sleep a bit later to enjoy some true leisure.

However, his leisure was interrupted by a phone call. It was past seven o'clock when Ming Lou called to tell him that Wang Manchun had escaped from prison and asked if she had contacted him. Wang Yan gave a negative answer, hung up the phone, and continued reading with peace of mind.

He was waiting, waiting for Wang Manchun to contact him.

In the original story, Wang Manchun had no one else to rely on, but now, after all, she had him, Wang Mou. And the persona he had established was one of absolutely not getting involved in matters. Furthermore, he and Wang Manchun had the intimacy of sleeping together for over two years; that couldn't have been for nothing, so she naturally had some trust in him. Perhaps she would think about trying to persuade Wang Yan, using both threats and inducements to move him to help. Even if he didn't help, he wouldn't necessarily betray her. Therefore, Wang Manchun, now at her wit's end, was very likely to seek out what she considered the safest harbor at the moment.

Past ten o'clock, just as he was tidying up to go to sleep, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up as soon as the ringing started to avoid disturbing Uncle Wu, Aunt Liang, and the driver who were sleeping downstairs.

"Hello?"

Recognizing the voice on the other end, Wang Yan asked nervously, "Did anyone see you coming over? No? Are you sure? Alright then, wait for me for a while. I dare not go to see you openly at this time. Let me think of a way to sneak over."

Wang Yan hung up the phone and chuckled. He turned to wash up and then turned off the bedroom light. He changed his clothes, cleared his space, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, he skillfully and easily slipped out of the Wang Tianyue Gongguan, heading straight east along Julai Da Road.

He did not rush into the garden villa to see Wang Manchun. Instead, he first took a long detour, carefully checking the surroundings. He even discovered a group of people out hunting for Wang Manchun. Only after confirming that Wang Manchun had truly not been exposed did he circle to another direction, pretending to be sneaky, and carefully arrived at the garden villa, where no lights had been turned on.

As soon as he entered, he saw Wang Manchun, who had already washed up and was drinking on the sofa in the living room.

"You shouldn't have come to me even if you escaped from prison. Besides, this place isn't safe either. It won't be long before they come looking for you."

"Don't worry, they've already been here; they won't come again." Wang Manchun put down the wine bottle in her hand and took off her bathrobe directly. "Stop with all the nonsense, hurry up..."

Wang Yan sighed helplessly: "At a time like this, you still have this on your mind? It's a miracle I haven't turned you in. Stop stalling, hurry up and run, run as far as you can. I took fifty thousand US dollars in cash from home; that's all I have, so I've done my best."

Wang Manchun slapped the bundle of banknotes in Wang Yan's hand away and reached down: "What? A dignified tycoon of the Green Gang, have you lost your manhood?"

With things already like this, what else could Wang Yan say? Of course, he chose to 'enforce the law on the spot.' Anyway, there were only the two of them in the room...

After a long while, later, Wang Manchun lay weakly on the sofa, looking at Wang Yan, who was pulling up his trousers: "I suppose you still have some sentiment."

"Don't you know me by now? I just want to stay as far away from trouble as possible."

"You, you're just too cautious. You don't even think about how I managed to get out of a heavily guarded underground cell? It wasn't without someone helping me." Wang Manchun tugged at her bathrobe and took a sip of wine from the bottle. "Do you know the first thing I did after I got out? I went to Liang Zhongchun's house, killed his mistress, and took the money and the gun he kept in his safe. Hahaha, Liang Zhongchun must be dying of regret now. I used the very blade he gave me to kill his mistress; back then in prison, he made me confess..."

Wang Manchun rambled on, from how she escaped from prison to how she suspected Ming Lou, and after cursing his whole family, she said: "Considering the affection of these past two years, can you help me?"

"How do you want me to help you?"

"I know you are very cautious, so I won't ask you to do it yourself. Just give me a few subordinates you can trust and provide some weapons."

As she spoke, Wang Manchun turned her head and, by the dim moonlight filtering through the window, looked at Wang Yan, who was cleaning up the traces of the 'war' on the floor. She asked curiously, "Is there a need to be this careful? Wouldn't it be fine to let the servants clean it up later? I'll have results here in two or three days. When the truth comes out, no one will come looking for trouble with you. Besides, if Takagi succeeds in becoming the section chief of the Special Higher Section, it will be more convenient for you to do things in the future."

Takagi was the Japanese man who let her out. Wang Yan had looked into him; he was considered the third-in-command of the Special Higher Section and was not very convinced by Fujita Yoshimasa. Of course, his main dissatisfaction wasn't just with Fujita Yoshimasa, but because of the issue of the successor to the Special Higher Section chief after Nantian Yangzi's death. Wanting to advance but being unable to, wasn't that why he had grievances against Fujita Yoshimasa? Coupled with his deep-seated militaristic ideology, he looked down upon Fujita Yoshimasa's lack of aggression. That was why he was incited by Wang Manchun's few words, wanting to use this opportunity to turn the tables and rise to power.

In the darkness, Wang Yan's deep eyes were darker than the darkness itself, and thus, his eyes appeared very bright in the dark. He asked: "Are you sure you didn't tell this Takagi that you came to me?"

"Don't worry, I also made a very difficult decision before finally coming to find you. After all, I've entrusted my life to you. My coming here was also a last-minute decision; how could he possibly know? But at least you have a conscience and didn't betray me."

Wang Yan glanced at the floor, put the paper used to wipe the floor into a bag, walked over, and sat down beside Wang Manchun, smiling as he stroked her cheek: "Do you know Comrade Pei Min Min?"

"Nonsense, why are you talking about him at a time like this?" Wang Manchun slapped Wang Yan's hand away unhappily, though she didn't actually knock it off. She asked with dissatisfaction, "Are you going to help me or not?"

"Why talk about Comrade Pei Min Min? Because..." Wang Yan's hand gently slid across her cheek and landed on her beautiful neck, "I am him!"

"You? Don't start... uh..."

Wang Manchun's words were never spoken, because the force coming from her neck made her unable to speak.

Because of suffocation, she struggled violently. She widened her eyes, looking at that face that had never seemed so strange, yet still wore a familiar smile...

"A beauty's death mask isn't beautiful either..."

The moonlight shone through the window into the living room on the first floor of the garden villa. The dark shadow muttered to himself, smoothing out the sofa that had been kicked into wrinkles, and tidying up the room...
