Chapter 261 Pretending to Have a Headache
Outside the car window, the street scenes of Shanghai were rapidly receding, like a series of yellowed old photos, passing quickly before Jiang Shiyuan's eyes.
She closed her eyes, but her mind was in a mess.
Mei Bureau, No. 76, these names were like sharp knives, piercing her nerves.
She knew that the wheel of history was rolling forward and a bloody storm was about to come.
"Shennong, what are you thinking about?" Nezha's voice brought her back to reality from her thoughts.
Jiang Shiyuan opened his eyes, looked at his concerned look, and forced a smile.
"I'm wondering what we should do next," she said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
Nezha was silent for a moment, then said, "I will report the information to Stationmaster Wang as soon as possible."
"You also have to be mentally prepared. The next task may be even more difficult."
Jiang Shiyuan nodded to show his understanding.
She knew that she had a heavy responsibility and had to remain vigilant at all times and not slack off in the slightest.
As the car drove into the city, the surrounding noise gradually became clearer.
"Nezha, please send me back to Mo Yu Mansion first." Jiang Shiyuan said suddenly.
Nezha looked at her in surprise, "Ah, how dare you go back?"
Jiang Shiyuan held his forehead helplessly, "Well, I was also stupid when I rushed out this morning. I drove Ito Takuma's car parked at the gate and ran away..."
"But the car I drove there last night is still in the parking lot of Mo Yu Mansion!"
"If I don't leave immediately, it would be equivalent to exposing my identity..."
Nezha nodded, realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately stepped on the accelerator.
When they arrived near Mo Yu Mansion, he kept watch for her in the car and carefully checked whether there was any potential danger nearby.
Jiang Shiyuan said goodbye to Nezha, then quickly opened the car door and got out.
She pressed down the brim of her black wide-brimmed hat and looked around vigilantly, and found that there were no passers-by around Mo Yu Mansion.
She breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that no one would notice her entering the mansion and driving.
Jiang Shiyuan walked quickly to his car, sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot of Mo Yu Mansion. She kept an eye on the rearview mirror to make sure no one was following her.
After driving for a distance, Jiang Shiyuan stopped the car at a corner and made a secret gesture to Nezha across the road, indicating that everything was going well.
Nezha's car started immediately and disappeared in the traffic like a black lightning.
Jiang Shiyuan looked down at his watch and saw that the hands were already pointing to half past ten.
Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no! She was going to be late for work!
She stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow.
Along the way, she racked her brains to think about how to explain to Takahashi Yui why she was late.
After all, she is a well-known "model worker" in the Special High Section stationed in Shanghai. She is never late for work, rain or shine.
The car stopped in front of the Special High Section building in Shanghai. Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath, opened the door and got out.
Before getting off the bus, she used her superb makeup skills to give herself dark circles and a haggard look.
She looked at herself in the small mirror, making sure her makeup was flawless, then walked into the building with a somewhat shaky step.
"Ayako, why are you late today?" As soon as I walked into the office, Takahashi Yui came up to me and asked with concern.
His eyes were full of worry, and he seemed really concerned about her physical condition.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled secretly in his heart, but his face showed a weak look.
She gently held her forehead and said in a hoarse voice: "Youyi, I'm so sorry..."
"I drank a little at the dinner party last night and had a headache all night. I didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning and accidentally overslept."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Takahashi Yui's expression to make sure there were no flaws in her performance.
Takahashi Yui looked at the dark circles under Jiang Shiyuan's eyes and his haggard face, and a feeling of pity suddenly welled up in his heart.
He quickly helped Jiang Shiyuan sit down on the sofa, turned around to pour her a cup of hot water, and took out the headache medicine he brought from Xijing from the drawer.
He said gently: "Ayako, take the medicine first, and then have a good rest."
Jiang Shiyuan took the pill and swallowed it obediently.
She raised her head and looked at Takahashi Yui's concerned eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Takahashi Yui was indeed very nice to her, but they were destined to be on opposite sides and could never be friends.
"By the way, Ayako, General Tanaka just informed Section Chief Nakamura and me this morning."
"Next week, the Special High Section in Shanghai will work with Ito Takuma to set up a special spy agency to connect with Wang Jingwei, the pro-Japanese leader of China, to support and supervise the establishment of the Wang puppet regime."
Takahashi Yui suddenly said, breaking the silence in the office.
Jiang Shiyuan was shocked. As expected, the "Mei Bureau" was about to begin construction!
But they didn't know yet that Ito Takuma was already dead.
Jiang Shiyuan pretended to rub his temple, frowned slightly, and nodded gently.
"Okay, I get it," she said softly, a hint of fatigue in her voice.
Takahashi Yui watched carefully. Jiang Shiyuan heard Ito Takuma's reaction.
I was relieved to find that she didn't seem very interested or excited.
It seems that he is the person Ayako cares about most.
He had heard that Ito Takuma had a girlfriend, and hoped that he would not take the initiative to mess with his woman in the future.
"Ayako, you should go back and rest today. I will arrange other people to handle the work here." Takahashi Yui said with concern.
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head and said, "No, I just need to take a rest."
"You can't let everyone else's work be delayed because of me."
As she spoke, she stood up from the sofa and prepared to return to her desk.
Seeing this, Takahashi Yui hurried forward to support her.
"Ayako, your health is the most important."
"Listen to me, go back and rest today and don't worry about work," he insisted.
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree.
"Okay then. I'll go back first. Call me if you have anything else."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Takahashi Yui sent Jiang Shiyuan out of the office, and his heart was filled with tenderness as he watched her leave.
Jiang Shiyuan walked out of the Special High Section building in Shanghai and breathed a long sigh of relief.
My performance today was very successful and I successfully deceived Takahashi Yui.
However, she also knew that the days ahead would be even more difficult.
The establishment of the Mei Agency and subsequent No. 76 means that the situation in Shanghai will become more complicated and her task will become more arduous.
She looked up at the gloomy sky and felt heavy in her heart.
How long will this war last?
When will she see the dawn of victory?
