After Waking up Beside the Villain - Chapter 173

    In Haicheng in 1918, there were only three or four department stores, and one of them was on Jinling Road, which was the end of Chu Yunsheng’s trip.

    This department store is called New World Department Store. It occupies a seven-storey building. Its operation method is not much different from that of later department stores. It was extremely fashionable at this time.

    It is said that when it opened in Haicheng the year before last, all the ladies and ladies of Haicheng rushed here, which can be said to be extremely lively. Nowadays, there are a lot of people here, and there are fashionable girls and men in suits and leather shoes everywhere.

    As soon as you enter the building, the dazzling array of goods attracts the eye, and the enthusiastic saleswoman smiles Yan Yan, it is indeed an excellent shopping place.

    In her current capacity, Sheng Yue has never seen a department store, so she also showed some restraint and curiosity appropriately.

    If there was an ordinary man beside her who paid attention to her, it would be a little bit of a heartbreak. However, there was Chu Yunsheng next to him, and a performance was a lively wink thrown at the blind man.

    “What do you want to buy?” Chu Yunsheng said indifferently.

    He also looked at the department stores of this era with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

    Sheng Yue said: “I just went to the middle school for an interview, but I still don’t buy clothes. I don’t pay much attention to what I wear. But my favorite pen is lost. I want to buy a pen.”

    The pen counter is on the first floor, which is very easy to find. With the warm service of the saleswoman, Sheng Yue chose a black Spike pen.

    Chu Yunsheng had to pay for her when she acted well. Sheng Yue quickly refused, and finally bought the pen herself.

    After shopping, it was time for dinner, Chu Yunsheng took Sheng Yue into the western restaurant next to New World Department Store and asked for a small private room.

    She didn’t refuse to eat.

    While waiting for the food to be served, Sheng Yue took the initiative to chat with Chu Yunsheng as if to ease the embarrassment.

    From the daily pastime to the interesting things when studying abroad, from Goethe to Tolstoy, the two also impromptuly interspersed a few languages ​​of different countries. Enjoyed talking.

    “My grandfather was a scholar in the early days. When we were in Jinzhou, we were not allowed to read any Western literature. We could only read “Three Character Classic” and “Guwen Guanzhi”.”

    Sheng Yue smiled and said, “I went to girls’ high school later, and I still learned English well, so I secretly bought some English books to read. The teacher also read some translations from Mr. I like Shakespeare and Goethe the most.”

    “Have you ever been abroad, have you brought back some books from outside? There are very few foreign books in big bookstores.”

    Chu Yun said: “I brought it.”

    The original set for himself was a somewhat unwilling genius. When he came back to China, he naturally had to bring some books. Chu Yunsheng has basically read all those books, and they have already entered Yu Jingzhi’s study. Yu Jingzhi likes to read novels in foreign languages.

    “What books are they?” Sheng Yue asked curiously, a shy look on her face, “If you can, can you lend me a look?”

    Chu Yunsheng reported several book titles, and then said, “All of them are given away.”

    Sheng Yue’s face froze, and she turned her face to the side, making herself look a little lost.

    But the loss didn’t last long. The next second, she casually changed the topic, mentioned the busyness of Chu’s father and Chu’s mother in recent days, and then naturally talked about the Sheng family and the Chu family’s business on the matter.

    “In today’s world, it’s not easy to do the business of medicinal materials. Don’t say that Chinese and Western medicine are scolded in the newspapers all day long. It is an ordinary pharmacy, and it is also pushing forward from generation to generation. I heard that Uncle Chu mentioned some Chinese patent medicine antipyretic pills that day, so that many fewer people came to the pharmacy to see a doctor and get the medicine.”

     “Brother Chu, do you know these antipyretic pills?”

    The main event is finally here.

    Chu Yunsheng took out the pocket watch from the pocket, looked at the time, and replied, “I know.”

    Sheng Yue’s face showed a little more or less exploration and curiosity, as if asking casually: “The antipyretic pill is really as magical as it is rumored outside? Brother Chu, are you here? In the line, do you know who made these medicines?”

    “Know.”

    Chu Yunsheng replied, “I did it.”

    Sheng Yue was stunned for a moment, she couldn’t help laughing. It’s not like bragging in front of a girl, right? Chu Yunsheng really dared to say it.

    “Brother Chu, don’t joke with me, I heard from Aunt Lu that you are studying Western medicine.” Sheng Yue pursed her lips to reveal a gentle and polite expression that seemed to be amused expression.

    Chu Yunsheng said calmly: “Don’t you think the food here is too slow?”

    Sheng Yue’s smile immediately froze at the corner of her mouth.

    “When I had a conversation with you in several foreign languages, your German tended to be colloquial. Although you wanted to appear unskilled, it was still the most natural. You claim to be incapable of Oriental. , but when I suddenly opened my mouth to speak, there was a subconscious reaction.”

    “When the news of the meeting in Europe came, and the Qingzhou incident was raging, your words were still biased towards the East, and there was no patriotic and progressive person you showed. Reaction.”

    “So, I can think that you usually have more contact with Germans, but you may have something to do with Toyo.”

    The pocket watch in Chu Yunsheng’s hand was replaced by a gun at some point, with the muzzle facing Sheng Yue’s direction.

    Sheng Yue’s puzzled and confused expression, and the expression she wanted to explain, gradually disappeared with Chu Yunsheng’s words, leaving only a look of vigilance and coldness like an enemy.

    “Who are you?” Sheng Yue said coldly.

    Chu Yun said, “The doctor who made the antipyretic pills?”

    Sheng Yue has a ghostly expression on her face, shouldn’t there be people who can tell the truth these days?

    She tried to relax her expression as much as possible, but her eyes were fixed on Chu Yunsheng, her eyes focused on the loaded gun: “You and I talked so much before showing your true face, it must be For some other purpose. You could just say, what do you want?”

    Chu Yunsheng did not speak, because he really had no other purpose, he and Sheng Yue had talked so much, except for her words and judging her identity, he was just waiting for Yu Jing Of.

    Thinking of this, I really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

    The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Yu Jingzhi, who was wearing a hunting suit and long boots, appeared at the door with a horse whip.

    He glanced at Sheng Yue and said gently: “Miss, I advise you not to think about taking advantage of the open door to touch the gun tied to the inner thigh.”

    “Maybe this move will not help you escape by crashing the door, but will kill you on the spot.”

    Sheng Yue trembled as if she was bitten by a poisonous snake, and her right hand that slipped slightly froze directly on the edge of the cheongsam.

    She can directly lift the cheongsam and pull out the gun regardless, but she believes that Chu Yunsheng and the people outside the door must have faster bullets than her.

    And more importantly, she knew the man who came in, and she had seen his photo in the booklet full of dangerous people’s names. She knew that this was the half emperor of Haicheng, Yu Jingzhi.

    A trace of real fear and horror finally appeared on her face.

    She even began to suspect that they were not hunting Chu Yunsheng, but Yu Jingzhi trapping them.

    So, who said that this task is easy enough to complete with eyes closed?

    Yu Jingzhi raised his hand, and a capable woman in a military uniform stepped forward immediately, skillfully cut Sheng Yue’s arms, leaned over and took off the gun that Sheng Yue was hiding, He quickly and carefully searched Sheng Yue’s body, and took out some dark blades, sabers and the like.

    Finally, after confirming that the female spy had become harmless, the rest of the people withdrew, and only Yu Jingzhi, Chu Yunsheng and the female soldier who searched were left in the private room .

    Of course, there is also Sheng Yue, who has already shown despair.

    Yu Jingzhi naturally sat on the chair next to Chu Yunsheng, as if meeting an old friend, and smiled warmly at Sheng Yue: “Did Adams send you here?”

    Sheng Yue had read countless information about this Mr. Yu, and she did not take it lightly in the face of the handsome and gentle young man in front of her, she just felt that Yu Jingzhi’s attitude was different from what she expected The indifference and cruelty in her were completely different, but inexplicably, it made her feel even more terrifying.

    Hearing Yu Jingzhi’s question, she pursed her lips and responded with silence.

    Seeing this, Yu Jingzhi raised his long eyebrows and said casually: “Kill it, wait for the next one.”

    When the voice fell, the female soldier behind him drew his gun and loaded it, all in one go, aiming at Sheng Yue’s head and pulling the trigger.

    “Wait, wait!”

    Sheng Yue was so frightened that she almost jumped up and shouted to stop her.

    She really didn’t expect that Yu Jingzhi would kill if he said it, without hesitation for even a second, and it wasn’t to scare people, but to draw a gun and shoot immediately. There is nothing similar to what was taught in the spy capture class, not even a cutscene!

    Sheng Yue really felt the casual killing intent, when she shouted out, she was afraid that she would be too slow and the gun would be fired.

    Yu Jingzhi looked at her in surprise.

    Sheng Yue didn’t want to die, so she didn’t hesitate any more, and said directly: “Yes… Mr. Yu, I was sent by Mr. Adams and belonged to the intelligence organization ‘Green Eagle’ under Mr. Adams. “

    Chu Yunsheng looked up at Sheng Yue.

    Adams, he remembered that this German was the partner Yu Jingzhi chose when he established himself in Haicheng a few years ago.

    It may not be accurate to say that it is cooperation. The two forces are closer to the relationship of mutual use. Adams chose to help Yu Jingzhi in order to make Yu Jingzhi his puppet to control Haicheng, but Yu Jingzhi was far beyond his control, so in the end this cooperation only maintained a superficial false friendship.

    Yu Jingzhi smiled and said, “The intelligence personnel of the ‘Green Eagle’ are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. Are you a B-level?”

    Sheng Yue nodded honestly.

    She was not surprised that Yu Jingzhi could guess her level, because as far as she knew, there were no less than ten intelligence officers in the Green Eagle who were arrested on the spot by Yu Jingzhi. Eagles know something.

    In addition, the superiors do not think that Chu Yunsheng’s task is so difficult that it needs to send an A-level spy to complete it. Sending a B-level will be easy.

    However, the development of things completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.

    “She may still have the identity of an Oriental.” Chu Yun said.

    Sheng Yue’s expression changed slightly, at this moment, she really hated Chu Yunsheng.

    Looking at her delicate expression, Chu Yunsheng had no doubt that if Sheng Yue had a gun in his hand at this time, he would definitely be beaten into a sieve.

    Not waiting for Yu Jingzhi to speak this time, Sheng Yue confessed: “I’m not from the East, I’m from Northeast China. Pick it up and raise it. I’m from Green Eagle, and I really have nothing to do with Toyo’s espionage organization, you can go check it out.”

    Yu Jingzhi and Chu Yunsheng looked at each other, did not express their stance on these remarks, but changed the subject and said, “Tell me something worth your life.”

    Sheng Yue’s face was bitter.

    She finally saw Mr. Yu’s attitude and way of doing things towards spies. He and the group of people who liked to play around the most didn’t talk about any scheming at all, they just went straight to the point.

    And this is what the intelligence officers are most afraid of.

    Because only with proper handling, they will have a chance to survive and turn defeat into victory. But in the face of a person who doesn’t care about your news or news, tasks or tasks, and who will shoot at any time, this set is completely useless.

    Information worth her life…

    Sheng Yue quickly turned her mind and said, “I know, Mr. Yu, among the people close to you, one of whom has taken refuge with Mr. Adams.”

    Yu Jingzhi’s expression moved slightly: “Oh? Who is it?”

    “Mengwangda.”

    Sheng Yue said seriously.
