Chapter 59 Spy Tune

Early the next morning

Shen Family

Teacher Shen woke up with a frown, finding herself lying in bed, her whole body aching. She sat up, still wrapped in the blanket, and accidentally bumped into the person next to her.

Teacher Shen turned her head and saw a middle-aged man lying next to her. She screamed in fright, "Ah...!"

The middle-aged man was awakened by Ms. Shen's screams and said impatiently, "What are you yelling about? Now that your family has given you to me, don't worry, your dad will be out soon."

After saying that, he got up, picked up his clothes from the ground, and put them on openly. He turned around and saw that Teacher Shen was tightly covering herself with the blanket.

The middle-aged man walked up to Teacher Shen, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said with a smile, "Aren't you embarrassed? I've seen every part of you."

Ms. Shen was already frightened, and when she heard the middle-aged man's words, her face turned deathly pale, and she stared at the ceiling with despair in her eyes.

The middle-aged man reached out and patted the blanket on Teacher Shen, saying, "Get up quickly, we still need to get our marriage certificate after we finish eating."

After saying that, he opened the bedroom door and went out.

Upon hearing the door close, Teacher Shen pulled the blanket over her head and burst into tears.

"Crunch"

The bedroom door was opened by Chen's mother. Seeing her daughter crying under the covers, she felt bad too. She went over and sat on the bed, choking back tears, and said, "Mom, I didn't want to do this either."

Upon hearing Ms. Shen's hypocritical words, Teacher Shen abruptly pulled back the covers, glaring at her with hatred in her eyes: "Why? I am your daughter."

"You hate me so much that you sent your own daughter to an old man's bed."

Without looking at Teacher Shen, Mother Shen lowered her head and sobbed softly, "Just think of it as doing this for the sake of the family, otherwise this family will be ruined."

Looking at Shen's mother, Teacher Shen felt incredibly ironic. She laughed loudly and said, "As you wish, I will marry him."

"But Mom, this is the last time I'll call you that. From now on, I'll have no family. I'll sever ties with my relatives in the newspaper."

Mother Shen said with unease, "You are my daughter, I gave birth to you. Even if we sever ties, it's no use if I disagree."

Teacher Shen didn't look at Chen's mother, but said indifferently, "You go out, I need to get up."

Ms. Shen looked at Teacher Shen, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything, and turned to leave the bedroom.

Machinery Factory

Gu Yihan sat at her desk reading the newspaper. Now that Sister Zhuang was gone from the accounting department, the people in the room were actually starting to chat more warmly.

Gu Yihan looked at Sister Li holding her hand affectionately, as if the previous isolation was all a dream.

Sister Li said in a voice that could be heard throughout the office, "Did you know? Deputy Factory Director Shen has been arrested, and Sister Zhuang has actually gotten involved with him."

Zhou Tingmei's eyes lit up, and she looked at Sister Li curiously, asking, "Really? Who told you that?"

Seeing everyone in the office looking at her, Sister Li straightened her back and said, "If we're talking about things big and small in this factory, there's nothing I don't know."

Liu Yang looked at Sister Li curiously and asked, "What mistake did Sister Zhuang and Deputy Factory Director Shen make?"

Sister Li lowered her voice, but still made sure everyone in the office could hear her: "I heard a rumor that they're reselling 120 tons of steel from our factory."

Apart from Gu Yihan, who knew beforehand, the rest of them gasped and said, "This is speculation! Where did all this steel go?"

Sister Li looked at Liu Yang and curled her lips: "Are you stupid? Of course you should sell it to the black market, and then the black market will transport it to other places to sell."

Liu Yang sighed, "That's too much. Enough for a death sentence."

Zhou Tingmei looked at Liu Yang and said, "With your cowardly courage, no wonder Comrade Gu looks down on you. Don't you even think about how many years Sister Zhuang has been in the factory?"

Liu Yang glanced awkwardly at Gu Yihan. Since that day, he had never spoken to her alone again.

Since the other party doesn't think highly of him, he won't pester them.

Gu Yihan noticed Zhou Tingmei mentioning her.

He looked at her coldly and said, "If you don't compare yourself to me, are you going to die? If you're itching to talk, rub your face against the outhouse wall until you're satisfied before you come out."

Sister Li stared blankly as Gu Yihan spoke.

She noticed that Gu Yihan had really changed a lot. In the past, she would ignore people as long as they didn't go too far, and she wasn't as aggressive as she is now.

Zhou Tingmei's face flushed with anger. She wanted to curse back, but then she remembered that she had hit Sister Zhuang last time and hadn't been able to say anything. So she could only vent her emotions by throwing things around.

After get off work, Gu Yihan was leading Mao Mao home when she saw that the clothes she was wearing looked very similar to Zhou Tingmei's when they walked into an alley.

Gu Yihan thought for a moment and walked towards the alley. Before she even got there, she only saw Zhou Tingmei's departing figure.

Seeing the confusion in Mao Mao's big eyes, Gu Yihan patted its head and said, "Let's go, Mao Mao."

She had only taken a couple of steps when she heard a folk tune called "Nanniwan" played on an erhu. It sounded strange, eerie, suffocating, and had a feeling of being in the underworld.

She was horrified just listening to it. Gu Yihan suddenly remembered that she had heard this tune before. It was from her previous life, when she saw it on Douyin. It was the tune of the Japanese pirates.

Gu Yihan checked the house number herself and ran straight to the police station.

Because he was running too fast, he bumped into someone who had just come out of the police station when he reached the entrance.

Gu Yihan raised her hand to rub her nose, which had hurt from the impact, and looked up, saying, "I'm sorry..."

After Gu Yihan saw the other person's face clearly, her eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise, "Comrade Lu?"

Lu Huailin said with a smile in his eyes, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Yihan gasped for breath and said to him, "There's a spy."

Upon hearing that there was a spy, Lu Huailin immediately led Gu Yihan into the Public Security Bureau and arranged for her to wait in the conference room for a while.

Gu Yihan sat on the stool, and soon Lu Huailin walked into the conference room with a middle-aged policeman.

"Comrade Gu, right? Where did you meet the spy?" the middle-aged policeman asked seriously.

Gu Yihan then said, "I saw my colleague's boyfriend go into that house, and there was a strange Japanese tune coming from inside."

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Yihan with icy eyes: "Have you ever heard of Japanese folk songs?"

Gu Yihan felt a tightness in her heart under the pressure of the other person's gaze: "I haven't heard it before. Once you've heard that sound, you'll know it's not played by someone from our country."

Gu Yihan swallowed nervously and said, "It sounds creepy."

Since it involved espionage, the middle-aged policeman and Lu Huailin dared not delay, preferring to arrest the wrong person rather than let one go.

The middle-aged policeman immediately got up and went out with his men to the place Gu Yihan had mentioned to make the arrest.

Seeing that the middle-aged policeman had left, leaving only Lu Huailin, Gu Yihan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Gu Yihan's tense body had relaxed, Lu Huailin said, "Don't leave Jinyang City recently, as we may need to take your statement later."

Gu Yihan looked at him and nodded, saying, "I understand."

Gu Yihan got up to leave, and Lu Huailin followed behind her. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Lu Huailin looked into her eyes and said, "It's too late, I'll take you home."

Gu Yihan was taken aback, then quickly waved her hand and said, "It's not completely dark yet, and I have Mao Mao with me, so it's quite safe."

Lu Huailin looked at the dog that kept peering into the house from the doorway and said, "It's nothing, we're on the way."

Gu Yihan was about to ask, "How did you know where I live?"

Lu Huailin didn't give her a chance to speak: "Let's go."

Since the other party insisted on giving her a free bodyguard, she figured she might as well take advantage of it.

Gu Yihan and Mao Mao walked in front, and Lu Huailin walked behind them. When they arrived at the door, Gu Yihan turned around and said to him, "I'm here. You can go back now."

Lu Huailin nodded, his face expressionless, and turned to leave.
