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

The drizzle gently falls on the earth, bringing a touch of fresh breath.

The sky was covered with a light gray color, and the clouds looked like delicate ink paintings, flowing slowly in the air.

The raindrops hit the window, making a soft and rhythmic sound, adding a bit of poetry to this quiet moment.

Under the overcast sky, an ancient temple stands in the desolation, and its mottled walls seem to tell a long history.

Today, this quiet temple welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

They are a team of agile ninjas, guarding an old man who looks ordinary but is extraordinary.

The old man is slightly round in figure, not tall, with a calm face, giving people a feeling of being loyal and honest.

Following him was a group of soldiers in Japanese military uniforms, and their arrival broke the tranquility of this land.

The old man's name is Doien Kenji. He has been lurking in China for more than 30 years and is a senior spy who is well versed in Chinese affairs.

With his wide range of activities and outstanding intelligence work, he provided Japan with countless valuable military intelligence.

Western media once dubbed him the "Lawrence of the East", a metaphor for his important role in foreign espionage, just like the famous British spy Thomas Edward Lawrence.

In the Chinese folk, Dobiyuan Xianji has another nickname - "Bandit Yuan", which reflects the local people's view of his greedy behavior.

He is like a perpetually hungry wolf, constantly on the lookout for opportunities to exploit.

"Teacher, the clues we tracked down about the underground party fugitives point to here." A female voice broke the silence around them.

The woman who was speaking was wearing a black leather jacket, a tube skirt and long boots. She had a delicate face and bright eyes, as if she could see into people's hearts.

She is one of Doien Kanji's favorite students and also the section chief of the Shanghai Special High Section - Mieko Sakai.

"Yoshi, surround this place." Doiyuan Xianji gave the order.

"Yes, teacher." Mieko Sakai answered respectfully, and then commanded the soldiers behind her to surround the entire temple.

The temple is huge, but the only person present is an old monk.

Several Japanese soldiers pointed their rifles at the old monk.

"Old monk, tell me the truth, where are the underground party members?" Mieko Sakai asked, with a hint of threat in her voice.

The old monk ignored these uninvited guests and just recited the Buddhist scriptures quietly, as if all the disturbances in the outside world could not disturb his inner peace.

"Mieko, don't be rude to the master." Doiyuan Xianer reminded him insincerely.

"Yes, teacher." Mieko Sakai responded respectfully, but there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'He who knows the current affairs of the times is a hero.' I hope that the master can become such a wise man and tell us where those rebels are hiding." Doien Kanji tried to persuade the old monk in a gentle way.

However, the old monk remained silent, as if isolated from the world.

"Since you are so stubborn, Mieko, send the master off." Doien Kenji seemed quite annoyed.

"Yes, teacher." There was a hint of excitement in Mieko Sakai's voice.

She snatched the rifle from her men and shot directly at the old monk.

With a muffled groan, the old monk's body trembled slightly due to being shot, but his eyes remained firm, as if he was not affected at all.

Mieko Sakai narrowed her eyes and fired several shots in succession, but the old monk seemed to have no reaction and remained calm.

In a rage, she aimed directly at the old monk's heart and pulled the trigger again. Blood gushed out of the old monk's chest, his face twisted in pain, but he remained silent.

"Damn old thing!" Mieko Sakai was furious and fired several bullets into the old monk's chest until she confirmed that he had lost all signs of life.

Even at the last moment of his life, the old monk maintained a solemn posture, like an immovable mountain.

If gods really exist, the old monk's persistence and faith may really move God.

Doiyuan Xianji said to Mieko: "Mieko, if we bring the monk's body back to the city and hang it at the city gate, will the anti-Japanese elements who are resisting us show up?"

Hearing this, Sakai Mieko immediately understood Doien Kanji's intention, and she responded approvingly: "Teacher's idea is really brilliant." Then, she turned and whispered the order to the adjutant beside her, and the adjutant quickly left the scene after receiving the order.

At this time, the rain in the sky was getting heavier.

On the other hand, Tang Xiaoxiao and Tang Shui, wearing straw raincoats, quietly came to the back door of Shen Mansion.

The person in charge of the guard was a confidant specially appointed by Shen Tengsheng. As soon as he saw them, he knew they were the two people mentioned by the master, so he immediately notified Shen Tengsheng.

Shen Tengsheng held an umbrella and hurriedly ordered the servants to open the door, welcome Tang Xiaoxiao and Tang Shui into the house, and carefully checked the surroundings to make sure everything was normal before closing the door with confidence.

Then he led the two through the backyard and in just a few minutes they entered a guest room on the first floor.

We met almost no other people along the way, and it was obvious that Shen Tengsheng had made arrangements in advance.

"You guys wait outside." Shen Tengsheng said to his companions, and then led Tang Xiaoxiao and Tang Shui into the guest room.

The room is spacious and simple, with a large bed and a wardrobe.

This wardrobe has a unique design. Both the front and back sides are made of thick old mahogany. The top of the cabinet is square and decorated with exquisite openwork floral patterns. An exquisite flower basket is hung in the middle. The eaves-style cabinet top panel is also carved with lifelike floral patterns. The overall style is unified and elegant.

The wardrobe adopts a single-door design and is equipped with a clothes hanging rod inside for easy storage of clothes.

In addition, the upper and lower parts of the wardrobe are carved with linear decorations, the apron is embossed with floral patterns, the three-curved legs are designed to be smooth and natural, and the bottom is supported by animal claws. The whole piece of furniture exudes a strong Western style.

Just when Tang Xiaoxiao thought that this was the residence Shen Tengsheng prepared for Tang Shui, she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is this place safe enough?"

Shen Tengsheng showed a mysterious smile. He walked to the closet, opened the door and touched a mechanism, and there was a secret passage hidden inside the closet.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Shen Tengsheng said as he stepped in first.

It turned out that this was a secret room specially decorated by Shen Tengsheng, with an area equivalent to two living rooms. Not only was the room not dark, but light shone in through specially designed holes.

The room is fully equipped with necessities such as food, beds and bedding, so you will not feel lonely even if you live here alone for several months.

At this time, Tang Shui's physical condition did not seem optimistic and he had started to have a fever, but he persisted strongly until he reached a safe place and finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Tangshui!" Tang Xiaoxiao shouted anxiously. Shen Tengsheng also hurried forward to help, and together they helped Tangshui lie down on the bed.
