Espionage: You're tasked with spying, but you'll blow up the Special Higher Police?

Upon seeing the guests arrive, Zhou Hongyi blurted out, "Excuse me, we'd like to call..."

He was about to say "We're closed," but before he could finish the sentence, he swallowed the word "closed" back down his throat.

He felt that the man looked familiar; where had the original owner of this body seen him before? Moreover, a strong sixth sense told him that this person should have a great connection with his mission.

Is this the effect of accumulating the number of times you use [Eye of Insight]?

Zhou Hongyi seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of his cheat ability. With their daily practice of using the "Eye of Insight" to spy on secrets, he not only increased the duration of this skill's activation from ten minutes to twenty minutes, but also could locate the keywords deep within the spy's mind more quickly and accurately. Moreover, even when he didn't activate the skill, he found that his eyesight, observation skills, and memory had all improved significantly.

When he saw the customer walk into the store, his five senses, which had been enhanced by the [Eye of Insight], were quickly activated.

Zhou Hongyi had a sudden inspiration and activated his [Insightful Eye] skill for the day. He looked at the middle-aged man and saw that his name entry clearly stated: [Jeweler], [Gu Tianbo].

It's like finding a needle in a haystack – you can search high and low and then it comes to you effortlessly. This Mr. Gu came to us of his own accord.

"What would you like to buy, sir? I can offer some recommendations."

Seeing Zhou Hongyi's sudden warm attitude, the blind man and Xiao Bei exchanged glances and instantly got into their roles.

The blind woman was very shrewd; as long as it didn't involve romantic feelings, her eyesight was excellent. She wisely took the child and went back into the inner room.

The big boss, Gu Tianbo, took off his top hat, glanced around the shop, and said, "Young Master Zhou, you don't have many antiques in your shop. Many shelves are empty. How can you continue doing business like this?"

Zhou Hongyi asked knowingly, "Oh, do you know me, sir?"

Gu Tianbo chuckled and extended his right hand, saying, "I am Gu Tianbo. We met at the golf course before and even played together. Of course, Young Master Zhou is a man of great importance and has a bad memory. He has recently become the leader of some special operations group and deals with high-ranking officials. He has long forgotten about us businessmen."

Hearing this, Zhou Hongyi remembered and slapped his forehead, saying, "Oh, it's Boss Gu. Look at my memory, sigh, I'm ashamed. Come, come, please sit here. Boss Gu, what brings you here at this hour?"

It was almost completely dark by now; who would come to an antique shop at this hour? Besides, Gu Tianbo himself was in the jewelry and jade business; if he wanted to buy antiques, he wouldn't need to come to Zhou Hongyi's shop at all, since Zhou Hongyi genuinely didn't have any antiques there.

"Hehehe~ Young Master Zhou really has a bad memory. Didn't we make a promise when we played ball before? To organize a singing competition in Shanghai together. I even reserved a judge's position for you in this Miss Rose pageant. I just don't know if you still think it's appropriate."

"Oh ho?" Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "It's like someone handed me a pillow just as I was about to fall asleep. Is my luck really that good?"

"That's wonderful! Of course I'll participate. And to be honest, Miss Elizabeth from my shop has already signed up for the Miss Rose pageant. If I could become one of the judges, I could help her all the way to the finals, right?"

Zhou Hongyi brought this inside story to the forefront in a joking tone.

Gu Tianbo chuckled, but his small eyes had already glanced at the girl wearing a silver mask standing next to the Western-style screen behind him.

His eyes, like radar, scanned back and forth on Beckham, gathering information. After a while, he nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction: "This is Princess Elizabeth. Seeing is believing. Where did you find such a beauty, young master Zhou? And she's a noblewoman too. Miss Elizabeth, even without saying a word, just standing there, she puts most of the contestants ahead of her. Regardless of whether she wins the championship, she's definitely in the finals."

Zhou Hongyi gave him an understanding look and said with a smile, "Then I'll take your kind words, Boss Gu. By the way, did you come here tonight to buy some antique decorations?"

Zhou Hongyi deliberately emphasized the word "antique," which carried a hint of jest. The latter, although his eyes were fixed on Xiao Bei as if they were magnetically attracted to each other, was able to distract himself and direct his mouth to talk to Zhou Hongyi.

"Buy! I love antiques the most, and since I'm here, of course I have to buy some. Or would you mind if Miss Elizabeth introduced me to a few pieces?"

Zhou Hongyi cursed inwardly, because he could already tell from the newly popped-up keywords that this guy was fantasizing about Xiao Bei. Despite his seemingly respectable appearance, he turned out to be just like his traitorous brother-in-law, a lecherous monster.

Zhou Hongyi remained calm and gave Xiao Bei a look, saying, "Hehehe, that's perfect. With Mr. Gu buying antiques from my shop, I'll definitely put that on my promotional flyers tomorrow. With that, how could I possibly have to worry about not having customers? Elizabeth, quickly greet our esteemed guest for me. Tony, go and get some of my best tea to serve Mr. Gu."

The Tony that Zhou Hongyi mentioned was the blind man. To make a living in the concession, one needed at least a decent foreign name.

The blind man agreed and hurried to the back room to boil water and make tea. Xiao Bei simply gave a cold "hmm," then walked slowly to Gu Tianbo. She gave a slight curtsy, but her gaze didn't linger on him before she walked to another corner of the shop and pointed to a cloisonné enamel snuff bottle, saying, "Excellent material, solid craftsmanship, suitable for collection and personal use, a rare item for a man's status."

Zhou Hongyi casually glanced at Gu Tianbo out of the corner of his eye, noticing that the keywords above the guy's head were like bullet comments, popping up one after another.

"Wow, that ice queen! Her voice is so beautiful and sweet, like a cool spring in the sweltering heat, making all your worries disappear~~"

"Her eyes seem to speak volumes; they've completely captivated me, Your Highness. Gu Tianbo wishes to become your subject!"

"Damn, this is the first time a woman has ever spoken to me, Gu Tianbo, like this. Usually, after those women find out who I am, they deliberately flatter, fawn over, and even throw themselves at me. A princess is a princess, and royalty is royalty. Tsk tsk tsk, compared to them, they are clearly inferior to the women in my family."

Looking at the man's active mind beneath his calm exterior, Zhou Hongyi spat inwardly and cursed him as a "beast."

Just then, Zhou Hongyi asked casually, "By the way, Mr. Gu, I heard that you recently found a Western lady. Could she also have royal blood?"

Zhou Hongyi deliberately steered the conversation in this direction. After he finished speaking, the entries above Gu Tianbo's head quickly changed, and one of them was the specific address of his new foreign lover, as well as some very private little quirks.
