Chapter 265: Meal Encounter, Add Task
Chapter 265: Meal Encounter, Add Task
Ever since Chen Shen said those words to him, Su Sansheng started to keep a low profile and stopped causing any trouble.
Seeing that he had settled down a lot recently, Yingzuo Zhenzhao restored him to his original position.
Chen Shen had no objection to this. He knew in his heart that Su Sansheng would definitely cause him trouble in the future, but he could not give up his current position to others now, otherwise there would be even greater trouble.
After get off work, Chen Shen and Wang Miaohua made an appointment to go out for dinner.
In the restaurant, the lights are soft and the music is melodious.
Chen Shen and Wang Miaohua found a seat by the window and just after ordering their food, Chen Shen inadvertently looked up and happened to see Cheng Jinyun carrying out the task of stealing information from a spy.
Chen Shen's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. After he arrived at his seat, he made an excuse and said.
"Manli, I'm going to the bathroom."
Yu Manli nodded slightly.
"Go back quickly."
Chen Shen pretended nothing had happened and left, secretly going to help Cheng Jinyun.
While Cheng Jinyun was chatting with the spy, his hand was almost reaching into the spy's pocket, almost taking the small camera.
Suddenly, another spy came and saw Cheng Jinyun's actions, and was about to come over to question Cheng Jinyun.
Chen Shen was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pretended to be a waiter and pulled him over, asking with a smile.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
The spy said with a puzzled look on his face.
"I didn't call you."
When I looked back, Cheng Jinyun had already taken the camera and left.
The spy in front of Chen Shen felt that he had been fooled. He turned around and wanted to look for Chen Shen, but Chen Shen had disappeared.
Then he found the spy who had been sitting next to Cheng Jinyun and said angrily.
"What happened to that woman just now?"
The spy looked bewildered.
"I do not know."
He felt like he had been tricked and started making a scene.
"What the hell is going on? Someone's stealing something!"
There was a sudden commotion in the restaurant and everyone's attention was drawn over.
Chen Shen took the opportunity to change into the waiter's clothes and returned to Yu Manli.
Yu Manli looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Well done."
Chen Shen sat down and said.
"It's funny."
At this time, the steak they ordered arrived, and the two of them ate together as if nothing had happened.
Yu Manli cut a small piece of steak, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and then said.
"You think I can't see what you're thinking?"
Chen Shen smiled.
"Manli, what are you talking about?"
Yu Manli put down her knife and fork and looked straight into Chen Shen's eyes.
"Stop pretending. I know you went to help Cheng Jinyun."
Chen Shen was silent for a moment and said.
"Manli, there are some things that you just need to know, don't say them out loud."
Yu Manli snorted softly.
"I know that you still support her in your heart."
Chen Shen sighed.
"Manli, this isn't a question of siding with anyone. We're all here to complete the mission."
Yu Manli sneered.
"Complete the mission? I see you're concerned for her safety."
Chen Shen frowned.
"Manli, stop it. Now is not the time to talk about this."
Yu Manli stopped talking and lowered her head to continue eating steak.
After a while, Yu Manli spoke again.
"Chen Shen, you're taking a risk like this. What if you get discovered?"
Chen Shen took a sip of red wine and said.
"The situation was urgent and I couldn't care less."
Yu Manli shook her head helplessly.
"You're always like this, disregarding your own safety."
Chen Shen patted Yu Manli's hand.
"Manli, I know you are worried about me, but this is our mission."
Yu Manli raised her head and looked at Chen Shen.
"Then can you think more about yourself in the future?"
Chen Shen nodded.
"I will, Manly."
Just then, several spies suddenly walked into the restaurant and looked around.
Chen Shen and Yu Manli looked at each other and felt a tightness in their hearts.
Yu Manli lowered her voice and said.
"Did they discover us?"
Chen Shen said calmly.
"Don't panic, take a look at the situation first."
The spies walked around the restaurant and found nothing unusual, so they left.
Chen Shen and Yu Manli breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Manli said.
"This meal was really unsatisfying."
Chen Shen smiled.
"Used to it."
After dinner, Chen Shen and Yu Manli walked out of the restaurant.
Yu Manli said.
"What's next?"
Chen Shen thought about it.
"Go back first and see what the situation is."
Yu Manli nodded.
"it is good."
While Chen Shen and Yu Manli were having dinner, Cheng Jinyun was watching them from outside.
She hid in the corner opposite the restaurant, her eyes occasionally casting towards where Chen Shen and Yu Manli were.
She felt that she could not complete this task alone, and even if she could, the risk would be very great.
She wanted to find someone to help her and happened to meet Chen Shen. From Chen Shen's performance just now, she was sure that Chen Shen could help her.
After Chen Shen and Yu Manli came out after dinner, Cheng Jinyun followed them.
She carefully kept her distance, avoiding the light from the street lamps and using the shadows on the street to hide her figure.
The night wind blew gently, her hair fluttered slightly, and her heart was full of hesitation and entanglement.
Chen Shen and Yu Manli were talking and laughing along the way, completely unaware that someone was following them.
Soon, the two of them returned to their residence, a small, slightly old building with dim lights in the corridor.
Cheng Jinyun looked around and made sure that there were no spies following him, so he disguised himself as a community worker.
She straightened her clothes and put on a hat to make herself look more like an ordinary staff member.
Standing at the door of Chen Shen's house, Cheng Jinyun was wondering whether she needed Chen Shen's help. After thinking for a while, she made up her mind and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock." The sound of knocking on the door rang out in the quiet corridor.
Chen Shen asked warily.
"Who?"
Cheng Jinyun said in a low voice.
"Community worker, come and register."
Chen Shen frowned, opened the door a crack, and saw Cheng Jinyun's outfit. He immediately understood something.
He let Cheng Jinyun into the house. When Yu Manli saw Cheng Jinyun coming in, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"Cheng Jinyun? What are you doing?"
Yu Manli asked.
Cheng Jinyun took off his hat and said.
"I have something important to discuss with Chen Shen."
Chen Shen closed the door and said.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Cheng Jinyun took a deep breath and said.
"The task just now is just the beginning. There are more difficult parts to come. It is difficult for me to complete it alone. I would like to ask for your help."
Chen Shen thought for a moment and said.
"You should know this is dangerous."
Cheng Jinyun nodded, his eyes firm.
"I know, but I believe we can do this together."
Yu Manli said from the side.
"Chen Shen, you have to think clearly."
Chen Shen looked at Cheng Jinyun and Yu Manli and said.
