Spy Wars: I'm the boss, who am I afraid of?

At this time, the main members of the Shen family had gathered together, waiting for the new family member.

"Xiao Jinshu, this is our father, Shen Tengsheng." Shen Jinlan introduced with a bit of respect in his tone.

Shen Tengsheng sat in the main seat. He was about fifty years old, with a kind face and a majestic temperament between his brows.

He was wearing a dark blue gown, and his demeanor revealed a calm and dignified look.

"Xiao Jinshu, welcome home." Shen Tengsheng's voice was gentle but powerful.

Tang Xiaoxiao bowed slightly and responded politely: "Hello, uncle. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Then, Shen Jinlan introduced other family members.

In the Shen family's family lineage, in addition to the core figure Shen Tengsheng, there are two other figures worth mentioning.

First of all, there is Shen Tengsheng’s wife, Mrs. Zhao, who occupies an irreplaceable position in the Shen family with her unique temperament and profound family background.

Mrs. Zhao not only played the role of a good wife in family life, but also demonstrated extraordinary abilities in social interactions, and was deeply respected and loved by relatives and friends.

Next is Shen Jinlan’s brother Shen Jinhui, who holds an important position as mayor of the Shanghai Wang Puppet Government.

In this turbulent era, Shen Jinhui relied on his own talents and skills to gain a firm foothold in the political arena, and played a significant role in enhancing the reputation and social status of the Shen family.

Although the outside world has different opinions on the role he played during the special period, it is undeniable that Shen Tenghui's influence in Shanghai and the entire region is enormous.

After a brief greeting, Shen Tengsheng said, "Today is a special day. We welcome a new member of the Shen family - Shen Jinshu."

As soon as Shen Tengsheng finished speaking, everyone applauded in agreement.

Mrs. Zhao displayed a unique gentle temperament. Her virtue was not only reflected in her words and deeds, but also conveyed to everyone through her warm smile, making people involuntarily feel an indescribable intimacy and comfort.

She walked forward gently, greeted Tang Xiaoxiao with a loving hug, and said softly: "Welcome home, Xiao Jinshu, this is your home. Don't feel constrained. If there is anything you want to eat or need, you can always tell your aunt."

In contrast, Shen Jinhui's personality was more easygoing and cheerful. He welcomed Tang Xiaoxiao in a relaxed and cheerful manner: "Welcome, Xiao Jinshu." Behind this simple greeting, he expressed his sincere acceptance and friendly attitude towards Tang Xiaoxiao.

After hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly to express that she understood what he meant and to express her gratitude for his kindness.

Afterwards, Shen Jinlan personally led Tang Xiaoxiao to visit this historic and charming mansion one by one.

Wherever he went, he would patiently introduce the design concept, functional layout and the stories behind each room, allowing Tang Xiaoxiao to have a deeper understanding of the building.

The Shen Mansion is not only magnificent in appearance, but also exquisite in interior design. Every detail is carefully crafted, fully demonstrating the owner's excellent taste and infinite love for life.

Tang Xiaoxiao was arranged to live in a spacious and bright room on the second floor. Through the window, she could overlook a lush little garden, which was refreshing.

The furnishings in the room reflect the elegance of traditional Chinese style, while also being embellished with Western elements. The clever fusion of the two not only does not create any sense of incongruity, but instead creates a unique aesthetic space.

Exquisite Chinese furniture and elegant Western decorations coexist harmoniously, creating a warm yet elegant living environment.

"Xiao Jinshu, this is your new home." Shen Jinlan said with a warm smile, "If you feel that there is something that is not satisfactory or needs improvement, please let me know. I will arrange for someone to make adjustments as soon as possible to ensure that you can live comfortably here."

Tang Xiaoxiao looked around with a satisfied smile on her face: "This place is really great, thank you, cousin. Everything is perfect, there is nothing that needs to be changed for the time being."

Shen Jinlan smiled with satisfaction: "That's good, you take a rest first, and we will have dinner together later."

After saying that, Shen Jinlan left the room, leaving Tang Xiaoxiao alone to enjoy the tranquility.

Tang Xiaoxiao walked to the window and looked at the small garden outside, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

She knew that she came to Shanghai not to enjoy such a comfortable life, but to shoulder a more important mission.

At dinner time, all members of the Shen family sat around a large round table, which was filled with a variety of delicacies.

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Shen Jinlan specially introduced some Shanghai local specialties to Tang Xiaoxiao and asked about her plans for her future life.

Tang Xiaoxiao was humble and polite. She expressed her hope to learn more in Shanghai and also to make some contributions to the family.

Shen Tengsheng expressed his appreciation for this and promised to do his best to help her achieve her goal.

After dinner, Shen Tengsheng invited Tang Xiaoxiao to the study for a private conversation.

The furnishings in the study are simple and quaint, with several calligraphy works hanging on the wall and various books on the bookshelf.

Shen Tengsheng personally poured a cup of tea for Tang Xiaoxiao, then slowly sat down.

Stepping into the dim study room filled with the atmosphere of books, Tang Xiaoxiao looked firmly at the uncle in front of her and got to the point without any hesitation: "Uncle, I believe you know why I am here. May I ask: what happened to Comrade Tangshui's disappearance?" There was a sense of urgency and worry in her words.

Shen Tengsheng nodded slowly, his eyes deep, as if he was recalling something important. "Do you know Doiyuan Xianer?" His tone was heavy, as if foreshadowing that what he was about to say was not simple.

"I know. He was Kenji Doihara (1883-1948), a general of the Japanese Army and the third-generation spy chief of Japan who engaged in espionage activities in China. He was the man behind the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo and the planning of North China's autonomy. Kenji Doihara looked gentle and was well-known among the bureaucrats of old China for his generosity and loyalty. He was known as the 'Lawrence of the East,'" Tang Xiaoxiao responded concisely.

"Well, the organization received intelligence that Doien Kanji will soon arrive in Shanghai. The superiors believed that this was a great opportunity, so they sent Comrade Tangshui to carry out an assassination mission, aiming to get rid of this spy leader. However, what was unexpected was that Doien Kanji was actually protected by four ninjas, and they were all powerful Chunins. Although Comrade Tangshui was brave and fearless, due to the huge disparity in strength, he was unfortunately injured by the ninjas in the end, and fell into the Huangpu River, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then." Shen Tengsheng's voice was low, and his words were full of helplessness and regret.
