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

There is a rare and warm family atmosphere in the Shen Mansion, as if the entire space is tightly wrapped in a rare harmony and tranquility.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the gaps in the curtains and into the house, adding a bit of warmth to this special day. The family sits around the dining table and shares a wonderful breakfast time.

The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, from steaming dumplings to fragrant soy milk and fried dough sticks, every dish revealed the taste of home.

It is worth noting that Shen Jinlan did not go out for a stroll early today as usual, but chose to stay at home with his family.

This not only makes this morning more special, but also makes the family feel unprecedented warmth and happiness.

What is even more surprising is that Shen Jinhui is also at home today.

As a less visible member of the family, his presence made this family gathering particularly precious and memorable.

The presence of the two brothers, coupled with the company of their parents, brought the warm family atmosphere in the Shen Mansion to its peak.

Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and the sounds of conversation and laughter intertwined together, forming a warm and beautiful picture. Such moments were extremely rare for the Shen family, and everyone cherished them doubly.

Mrs. Shen's face was filled with a loving smile, and her eyes were gently watching Shen Jinshu eating. This warm scene filled her heart with joy, and her mood seemed to become particularly relaxed and happy.

Perhaps because of this joyful mood, she even felt that her appetite was better than usual.

"This child is such a big eater." She couldn't help but admire, her words full of love and doting on Shen Jinshu.

Shen Tengsheng also echoed, "Being able to eat is a blessing." This sentence not only expressed his appreciation for Shen Jinshu's healthy appetite, but also conveyed the beautiful emotions of mutual care and support among family members.

At this time, Shen Jinhui spoke up, breaking the quiet and warm atmosphere. He asked, "What has the third brother been busy with recently?" This question seemed to bring everyone's thoughts back to reality from the dining table in front of them.

Shen Jinlan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied with a little disdain: "What can I be busy with? It's just accompanying Chai Mingcheng on the boat to fish and run around every day."

In fact, he and Chai Mingcheng had already secretly joined the underground party, using the ship resources in their hands to assist the underground party in transporting the urgently needed supplies.

Recently, the organization obtained a batch of valuable property from somewhere unknown. They sold them on the black market and used the proceeds to purchase scarce guns and ammunition as well as urgently needed medicines on the front line.

After completing these transactions, they had to find a way to safely transport these precious materials out of Shanghai and into the hands of the soldiers on the front line.

They have been very busy during this period of time, and today they finally have a moment to take a break and go home to relax.

Because of this, he was deeply dissatisfied with his second brother and father's choice to work for the Japanese. In his view, this was a betrayal of his country and beliefs.

Mrs. Shen noticed the entanglement and contradiction in her son's heart. She said to him in her usual gentle tone: "Lan'er, everyone has his or her own path in life. Whichever path you want to take, just go boldly. As long as you feel that what you do is happy and meaningful, that's enough."

After hearing this, Shen Jinlan looked at his mother with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your understanding and support. You are the one who can understand my feelings the best." He knew very well how rare and precious it was to have a mother who understood and supported his choices in this turbulent era.

Hearing this, Shen Jinhui frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his mother's tolerant attitude. He cast a meaningful look at his father, as if to remind him that he should express some opinions on the attitudes of his wife and youngest son.

However, Shen Tengsheng just raised his eyebrows lightly and did not express any opinion.

As the pillar of the family and the head of the Shanghai underground party, he knew very well what his youngest son was busy with - in fact, even the submission of Shen Jinlan's application to join the party was completed through him.

Shen Jinhui fell silent, thinking to himself, well, since my third brother has the support of his parents, it is indeed not convenient for me to interfere too much.

His gaze immediately turned to Tang Xiaoxiao who was enjoying the food, and he asked softly, "Xiao Jinshu, have you found the school you like?"

This sudden question surprised Tang Xiaoxiao so much that she even choked. "Ahem... "

She hadn't expected the conversation to suddenly turn to her. Oh my god, she really didn't want to go to school.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen hurried forward and gently patted Tang Xiaoxiao's back, while Shen Jinlan quickly handed her a cup of warm water. After Tang Xiaoxiao drank a sip of water, her condition improved.

Mrs. Shen said to Shen Jinhui with some dissatisfaction: "Jinhui, shouldn't you go to work? Why are you still dawdling here?"

Shen Jinlan also echoed: "That's right, second brother, you are too ignorant. My little sister is still eating. Can't you wait until she finishes eating before asking?"

Shen Jinshu noticed Mrs. Shen's angry expression and Shen Tengsheng's unhappy face. He originally wanted to say that today was a day off, but he had to swallow his words.

It seems that I have annoyed everyone, so I'd better leave quickly.

At this moment, Guo Ran rushed into the restaurant with a crumpled newspaper in his hand and an angry look on his face. His steps were so quick that he almost collided with Shen Jinhui who was coming towards him.

Seeing this, Shen Jinhui hurriedly steadied his steps and asked with concern in his eyes: "Uncle Guo, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you so angry?"

Guo Junran took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, trying to hide the anger on his face, and then said respectfully to Shen Jinhui: "Second Young Master."

This scene also fell into Shen Tengsheng's eyes. He keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere, so he asked Guo Junran beside him: "Old Guo, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Junran immediately stepped forward, holding tightly in his hand the newspaper he had just bought from the newsstand on the corner, and handed it to Shen Tengsheng with a solemn expression, while explaining, "Master, please take a look at the headlines in this newspaper."

After Shen Tengsheng took the newspaper, he quickly skimmed through the contents. As he read deeper, his face became more gloomy. After reading it, he slammed the table with a loud bang, and his indignation was evident in his words: "Damn little devils!"

Shen Jinhui was stunned by his father's sudden anger. He took the newspaper handed to him, quickly scanned the lines of densely packed text, and his face gradually became heavy and serious.

Shen Jinlan and Tang Xiaoxiao, who were standing aside, looked at each other, and their curiosity about each other burned like a ignited fire.

They couldn't help but come forward to take a closer look, and what caught their eyes was three eye-catching big words on the newspaper headline - "Challenge Letter".

The article mentioned that the Japanese army publicly challenged a mysterious figure known as the "murderous devil" and agreed to wait for him to show up at noon in Hongkou District.

The challenge letter threatened that if the "devil" failed to arrive as scheduled, the Japanese army would take extreme measures and ruthlessly shoot two hundred people involved in anti-Japanese activities every day as punishment.
