Shi Yimei gently shook the wine glass in her hand, letting the dark red liquid flow back and forth on the crystal wall of the glass.

Outside the window is Ciro's, one of the famous dens of money-losing in the International Settlement. Its neon signs and colored lights flash with colorful lights, embellishing this damn world with perverted madness.

She looked at the people coming in and out and gave a ghostly smile.

Men can never control their inner desires.

How many poor men have spent the money they worked hard for months on this enchanting place called Ciro's?
She did not enter, but her eyes penetrated the thick walls and seemed to see the various wealthy people inside who were behaving in an ugly manner and spending a lot of money.

She looked away and gave a scornful smile.

There are three enemies that most men cannot defeat:
Powerful enemies;
lustful nature;
Desire for power.

She withdrew her gaze and looked into the distance. Her eyes crossed the distance and fell on No. 76 Jesfeil Road, and on an "undercover" named Yi Mocheng inside No. 76.

"You have never overcome your lustful desires, so you are not a qualified candidate for an undercover agent."

Shi Yimei murmured softly, shaking the wine glass.

Yi Mocheng was originally just an insider who infiltrated the Postal Inspection Office. Because he and Ding Moqun had similar interests, he gradually became Ding Moqun's most trusted confidant. In the end, Yi Mocheng took Ding Moqun with him when he defected, and he became a senior executive of No. 76.

Because of the change in his identity, Yi Mocheng's value in Xu Rongzeng's eyes greatly increased, and he even followed Yi Mocheng's advice and formulated the [Iron Dome Plan].

From a man's perspective, Xu Rongzeng couldn't see Yi Mocheng's weakness - he was just lustful, that's how all men are.

But Shi Yimei knew that an agent who could not overcome lust would not be a qualified undercover agent.

How could he face his fear in the wolf's den if he couldn't even overcome his lust?
How can he stick to his original intention under such high pressure?

Glancing at the crowd behind her with a little anticipation, Shi Yimei saw the guests at the table not far away and smiled as if to say "finally they're here".

Two sneaky men eating at a table with candles?
Ah!
After two days of waiting, the truth was finally revealed.

Yi Mocheng, you really didn't let me down!
Shi Yimei continued to taste the red wine as if she was unaware, but she was listening with her ears perked up. When the sound of footsteps slowly came, Shi Yimei brought the wine glass to her lips again.

The moment the cold air came, Shi Yimei smashed the goblet on the table, and dodged the dagger that was meant to cut her neck. When she turned around, half of the goblet slid in the air, and a line of blood appeared. The killer with the knife covered his neck and throat in astonishment, where blood was gushing out. He looked at Shi Yimei in disbelief, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Another killer who blocked Shi Yimei's escape route tried to draw his gun after being shocked, but Shi Yimei had already swung a plate at him. While the killer was dodging, Shi Yimei moved closer, stabbed the half-broken goblet stained with bright red, and stabbed it into the killer's throat without hesitation.

The quiet restaurant became seething with excitement because of the sudden killing. People who admired "elegance" abandoned their hypocritical expressions and began to flee screaming.

Shi Yimei glanced coldly at the two dead assassins and quickly left the restaurant.

……

"What? Failed?!"

Qi Qingbao looked at his subordinates who were reporting in disbelief.

"The two people in the action team who carried out the assassination mission were all killed in one blow. Only the member responsible for evacuation survived. He said..." The subordinate hesitated, but still told the truth:

"Shi Yimei must have recognized him. When she walked in front of his car, she said 'idiot'."

Qi Qingbao's face turned red at this moment.

The assassination failed, it's not scary.

But being mocked by the other party from a distance like this was like using a size 44 shoe to leave a clearly visible mark on his size 38 face.

"Pass my order to all Shanghai Office action teams to arrest this person with all their might - wait!"

Qi Qingbao suddenly "braked" and calmed down from his rage.

【idiot?】

Is Shi Yimei mocking the task force that assassinated her?

Or are you mocking Qi Qingbao?
Qi Qingbao, who had received rigorous training, began to analyze at this time.

Based on the reports from his subordinates, Shi Yimei seemed to be waiting to be assassinated. The word "idiot" he said before leaving was probably not a mockery of the action team, but a mockery of him, Qi Qingbao!
Did she expect that he would kill her?
But killing her was not her idea, but Yi Mocheng's, and it was also approved by the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters - why did she calculate all this?

Is it because she knew that her betrayal to the Japanese would be exposed sooner or later?
still is……

Is there another reason?
At this moment, Qi Qingbao's head was as big as an ox.

When the Shanghai station was training them, it was repeatedly emphasized that in the intelligence warfare behind enemy lines, all strangeness is fatal. Once there is doubt, do not think about using various explanations to resolve it, but verify why there is doubt - when you use various explanations to resolve the doubt, you are already dead!

In Qi Qingbao's view, the current incident was full of all kinds of doubts!

"Is there something else going on?"

Reason told him that regardless of whether there were doubts or not, the best thing to do at this moment was to execute the order - even if something went wrong, it was because there was something wrong with the order.

But his emotions told him that this could not be the case.

After much consideration, emotion overcame reason.

After all, the Shanghai Office is an "outsider" in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics system. The higher-ups may forgive their own people, but they may not be so kind to an outsider like themselves.

"Stop hunting down Shi Yimei!"

After making the decision, Qi Qingbao said in a deep voice: "Don't do anything without my order!"

"Also, prepare the car, I need to go out for a while."

Qi Qingbao decided to ask for help.

In the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics system, he and the Shanghai Office were outsiders, but he was brought up by the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and had to cling closely to the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Outside the secret base, Shi Yimei, dressed in rickshaw driver's clothes, was sitting on the footrest of the rickshaw seat to catch her breath and rest. At this time, she was playing the role of a rickshaw driver who carried luggage for others.

A car drove up and stopped at the secret base of the Shanghai Room.

Shi Yimei's eyes suddenly lit up.

After a while, Qi Qingbao came out and got into the car directly. Seeing this, Shi Yimei ended her rest and followed in her rickshaw.

After following for more than ten minutes, the car entered an empty road and accelerated. Seeing the car going away, Shi Yimei did not get anxious, but continued to maintain the speed until the car disappeared from sight.

She trotted the bike to the section of the road where the car disappeared. She observed carefully as she ran, and after making sure that no one was following her, she set her sights on the fork in the road in the distance.

After secretly memorizing this intersection in her mind, Shi Yimei drove her bike away at a trot.

In the distance, Qi Qingbao was standing behind a tree, staring at the rickshaw going away with a telescope.

The other party did not hesitate at the fork in the road and left in one direction, which dispelled his doubts. He returned to the roadside and waited for a few minutes. After the detour car came back, he got in the car again and signaled the driver that he could go.

The car finally stopped in an alley in the International Settlement. Qi Qingbao told the driver to leave, entered the alley, and finally entered a house - then entered the secret passage inside the house, and after another blindfolded transfer, he came to the base of the Military Control Commission's Beijing-Shanghai District Direct Group through the secret passage.

……

"Chief District Officer, Qi Qingbao has arrived."

"Let him in!"

Zhang Anping nodded.

Qi Qingbao did not come here rashly, but called in advance to report his arrival - the base of the direct group was a secret, and Qi Qingbao could not come whenever he wanted. And it was because of his special identity that he could come to the base of the direct group.

Soon, Miao Fengxiang brought Qi Qingbao in.

"Seat down."

Zhang Anping waved his hand, motioning Qi Qingbao to sit down, and asked directly:
"What happened?"

Qi Qingbao began to tell Zhang Anping the top secrets of the Central Bureau of Investigation without hesitation - from the Iron Dome plan to Yi Mocheng's identity and then to Yi Mocheng's request to assassinate Shi Yimei, he told Zhang Anping everything.

It is true that these are top secrets of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Qi Qingbao told them to Zhang Anping, who was suspected of being a traitor. But as mentioned before, Qi Qingbao and the Shanghai Office are outsiders in the Central Bureau of Investigation system.

The reason why the Central Bureau of Investigation accepted it reluctantly was because they wanted to show the captain that the Central Bureau of Investigation had not lost Shanghai.

But it is impossible to expect the Shanghai Office to enjoy the same treatment as other party departments or branches of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Qi Qingbao also realized the situation, so he strengthened his approach to the Military Control Commission.

Be a "house thief", the worst that can happen is you can change jobs later!

Listening to Qi Qingbao's story, Zhang Anping did not show the slightest bit of surprise on his face, because he already had all the information.

The only surprise was that Yi Mocheng also felt that Shi Yimei was "unreliable" - it must be said that being an undercover agent requires vigilance.

But Qi Qingbao's next words made Zhang Anping's expression become serious.

Because he talked about the failed assassination attempt, and also talked about his surprise that Shi Yimei had been prepared for it. After finishing, he said cautiously:

"District Chief, why do you think Shi Yimei expected an assassination?"

Why did Shi Yimei expect that he would be assassinated?

Zhang Anping fell into deep thought. This incident had a great impact on him. In his understanding of Shi Yimei's personality, she was just a Central Bureau of Investigation agent whose consciousness was filled with hatred.

He even treated the other party as a chess piece, a chess piece to attack the Central Coordination Iron Dome Plan.

But Shi Yimei's current performance far exceeded Zhang Anping's expectations.

For example:
Before, he thought Shi Yimei was at most a snake, a bit poisonous at best;

But suddenly, he was shocked to find that Shi Yimei's snake had grown feet on its head and claws on its abdomen.

Jiao?
What impact will your plan have if your opponent suddenly changes?
Moreover, as an undercover agent, Yi Mocheng has the intention to kill Shi Yimei and mobilizes people to carry out the plan. What impact will this have on the plan?
He had to examine the variables involved.

Zhang Anping, who was deep in thought, suddenly spoke:
"Yi Mocheng wanted Shi Yimei to die, and Shi Yimei predicted in advance that Yi Mocheng wanted to kill her, right?"

"Correct."

"The two are originally on the same line - Yi Mocheng formulated the Iron Dome plan, which aroused the interest of Xu Rongzeng and even the entire Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics high-level officials;"

Zhang Anping murmured:

"Shi Yimei was sent by the Central Bureau of Investigation to support and assist Yi Mocheng. Since she anticipated that Yi Mocheng wanted to kill her, she is not a fool."

"So, what happened during this time?"

Yi Mocheng wanted to get rid of Shi Yimei because he felt that Shi Yimei was an unstable factor;

According to Zhang Anping's intelligence, Shi Yimei had a record of bowing to and joining forces with Tsukamoto - but Zhang Anping was not sure whether all this was because of the Iron Dome project or was really the core purpose.

Although he prefers it to be both.

But the strangest thing was that Shi Yimei was certain that he would be assassinated, and he passed the word "idiot" to Qi Qingbao through word conveyance.

What she meant was:

Qi Qingbao, you are a fool and you have been taken advantage of!
This can also be understood as:
Is Shi Yimei saying that there is something wrong with Yi Mocheng?
Zhang Anping looked at Qi Qingbao:
"Yi Mocheng...is there a problem?"

Qi Qingbao looked at Zhang Anping, his face embarrassed and he didn't know how to answer.

Is there something wrong with Yi Mocheng?
He had thought about it, but Yi Mocheng's request to resolve Shi Yimei's issue had been confirmed by the top brass of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, which meant he had the endorsement of the top brass of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics - could this be considered as a problem with Yi Mocheng?
Zhang Anping didn't expect Qi Qingbao to give an answer, he was just making a bold assumption.

"If Shi Yimei has no problem, she will find you."

Zhang Anping paused for a moment and said, "Let me be your follower. I want to see what these two are up to!"

At this time, he had decided to call a halt to his current plan - the confusing identities of Shi Yimei and Yi Mocheng made him very alert. His plan was based on the premise that Shi Yimei was a crazy woman, but Shi Yimei's performance was beyond his imagination.

The plan must be put on hold!

……

It is also a private Japanese gathering spot.

(Damn, the reason why Chapter 109 was blocked was because of this club. In order to improve the character setting, I vaguely mentioned that Yi Mocheng fought two people alone, and Tsukamoto cheered on the side, and then there was no more. I realized it at o'clock in the morning, made major changes, and it came out automatically as expected.)
Tsukamoto and Yi Mocheng met again in secret. After the usual program ended, Tsukamoto, who was excited, suppressed the excitement in his heart and said:
"Mr. Yi, we all underestimated Shi Yimei."

Yi Mocheng buttoned his shirt and said:
"Yes, I really underestimated this woman. I thought she was just a sacrifice for Zhang Xiao, but I didn't expect that she would eat people!"

The Iron Dome plan was proposed by Yi Mocheng, but the real purpose was still the Beijing-Shanghai area and Zhang Anping.

Yi Mocheng's real plan is:
Get rid of Shi Yimei, and use the evidence of Shi Yimei's secret communication with Tsukamoto to gain the trust of the Military Control Commission's Beijing-Shanghai District.

He knew that Zhang Xiao was a member of the National Government's Anti-Communist Committee, so he wanted to deepen the ties between the two by using the excuse that the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation would work together to deal with the underground party.

Once the time is right and he is confident enough, he will take off the mask and reveal his true purpose:
Kill the Military Control Commission!
In other words, his goal was to join forces with the Military Control Commission, continuously attack the underground party, and then turn around to eliminate the Military Control Commission, thereby wiping out all resistance elements in Shanghai in one fell swoop.

This is a long-term plan, and Yi Mocheng plans to complete it in a year or even longer.

And Shi Yimei was the first sacrifice he threw out.

But now, this sacrifice has turned into a man-eating monster.

In the Shanghai Office, which was established and trained by the Military Control Commission, two killers were killed by a woman in a face-to-face encounter.

It's really ridiculous!

Tsukamoto asked solemnly: "Mr. Yi, do you think she will become a 'problem'?"

"Don't worry, she won't cause any trouble."

Yi Mocheng said confidently:

"Her biggest problem is that she is determined to kill Zhang Xiao to avenge her husband - with this excuse, no matter how much she struggles, it will be in vain."

"That's good." Tsukamoto nodded appreciatively.

He had great confidence in Yi Mocheng's plan, so he decided to continue implementing his "turtle tactics" while cooperating with the Iron Dome plan, even if he was criticized for it.

After the two guys with alternative hobbies finished their meeting, they went back to their respective homes.

When Tsukamoto was about to enter the military control area by car, a figure suddenly rushed in front of the car and stopped it. At the moment when the surrounding Japanese soldiers raised their guns, the figure suddenly shouted:
"Section Chief Tsukamoto, I'm Shi Yimei! Can you listen to me before you kill me?"

Tsukamoto in the car stared at Shi Yimei who was blocking the road through the lens, and opened the window to make a gesture to the surrounding Japanese soldiers to put down their guns. (End of this chapter)
