Chapter 205 Thrilling
It was difficult for Song Yan'an to refuse such a studious and polite junior, so he tried his best to answer Hu Xiaoxiao's questions and resolve their doubts.
After the set was rearranged, Hu Xiaoxiao also changed into her costume, a white dress, exquisite makeup, and Xie Weihua's signature Roman curls.
The male lead, Song Yan'an, also changed into his costume, a neat suit. He walked over and stood with Hu Xiaoxiao. The two of them were as dazzling as the sun and instantly became the focus of the entire audience.
“Action!”
As night fell, the social dinner for the new mayor of Shanghai began. Xie Weihua walked into the banquet arm in arm with Zhao Zhenchuan. The eye-catching combination attracted the attention of the entire audience.
The new mayor, Wu, came over and shook hands with Zhao Zhenchuan. "Mr. Zhao is here. Please come in. Mr. Zhao is the hottest new star in Shanghai in recent years. It is my honor to have you attend today's banquet."
"I dare not." Zhao Zhenchuan said modestly but gracefully, "It is my honor to receive the mayor's invitation."
Mayor Wu saw Xie Weihua. Although Xie Weihua was his subordinate at work, after get off work, she was the daughter of a wealthy Shanghai tycoon. If he wanted to be the mayor of Shanghai safely, he had to give the young lady some face.
Therefore, Mayor Wu said to Xie Weihua affectionately: "Weihua, you are beautiful again tonight. If you didn't have Mr. Zhao as your dance partner, I think the people who want to invite you to dance would line up all the way to Wutong Road."
"Just because they invite me, should I agree?" Xie Weihua said arrogantly.
Mayor Wu was also used to Miss Xie's temper, so he hurriedly invited the two of them to the banquet. Then, when he saw another distinguished guest coming, he went to greet him personally.
Zhao Zhenchuan and Xie Weihua each grabbed a glass of wine, held it in their hands, and made the gesture of wanting to drink, but they didn't. They had important matters to attend to tonight, and drinking could easily cause them to miss their tasks. They also worried that the strong aroma of alcohol would draw attention to themselves.
They exchanged a glance, which to outsiders appeared to be an act of affection, but in reality, they had secretly exchanged more than one message. Then, Zhao Zhenchuan chatted and laughed with the celebrities who had come today, while Xie Weihua discussed fashion trends with a female guest she knew well.
The banquet hosted by Mayor Wu was to celebrate the smooth progress of the new government's work. He not only invited Shanghai celebrities, but also Japanese people.
Masako Yamamoto was accompanying her teacher Ichiro Sato to the banquet. After taking a glass of wine from the waiter, she discovered Zhao Zhenchuan.
Zhao Zhenchuan's actions in Shanghai were noticed by Yamamoto Masako several times. Although she did not catch him, she had already become suspicious of him.
At the same time, Zhao Zhenchuan is handsome and cultured, with both grace and taste, and she can't help but be attracted by his charm.
Therefore, after seeing Zhao Zhenchuan, Yamamoto Masako walked over and, using her identity in the Japanese agency, questioned him about his whereabouts a month ago.
After seeing the signal Zhao Zhenchuan gave her, Xie Weihua walked over and bumped into the wine glass thrown by Yamamoto Masako, and a drop of wine fell on her dress.
Xie Weihua then questioned why Yamamoto Masako poured wine on her for no reason. Is this the upbringing of the Japanese?
Yamamoto Masako was just about to ask Zhao Zhenchuan for some information, but she didn't expect Zhao Zhenchuan's words to make her lose her composure. In her excitement, she swung her hand back, but unexpectedly the wine splashed onto Xie Weihua.
Many guests at the banquet saw the scene where Yamamoto Masako splashed water on Xie Weihua. They all looked at her and Yamamoto Masako had no way to defend herself. Even her teacher Sato was very dissatisfied with her rudeness.
Mayor Wu quickly came over to smooth things over, "Weihua, Ms. Masako didn't mean it. Let's just let it go."
Xie Weihua said unhappily, "My dress is dirty. How can I attend the dance later? I went to the department store to buy a dress specifically for tonight's dance."
"I'll compensate you. I'll ask the department store to send you a new dress now." Mayor Wu's kind words finally appeased Xie Weihua and asked Xie Weihua to go to the dressing room to rest for a while and change into the new clothes when the dress arrived, just in time for the ball to start.
Xie Weihua could only follow the servant to the locker room with a wronged look on her face, which aroused the sympathy of many people.
After arriving at the dressing room, Xie Weihua sent the servant away and quickly took off her outer dress. She was wearing light clothes underneath, which were not stained by the alcohol.
She picked up her bag, quietly left the locker room, and went to Mayor Wu's study upstairs when no one was paying attention.
She was nearly discovered several times during this period, and even nearly fell from the building in order to avoid the mayor's secretary. It was extremely thrilling.
Finally, she sneaked into the mayor's study, found Mayor Wu's special seal, stamped several certificates of extracting prisoners, and imitated Mayor Wu's handwriting and signature.
This certificate is used to rescue several people who were captured by the security team. They are very important undercover agents. The security team is investigating their identities and must rescue them and send them out of Shanghai before their identities are exposed.
Zhao Zhenchuan, who was downstairs, had been absent-minded for several times after Xie Weihua went to the locker room. When asked again, he said, "Weihua has never suffered such an injustice. I'm very worried about her. I'll go see her first and persuade her to cheer up before coming down."
Under everyone's teasing, Zhao Zhenchuan took this excuse to go upstairs. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned a corner and took out a bunch of keys, which he had just stolen from Yamamoto Masako when she was panicked after splashing Xie Weihua.
Zhao Zhenchuan had already figured out the situation at Mayor Wu's house. He went down from the third-floor window, left the banquet hall, boarded a Japanese military vehicle on the way, entered a Japanese agency, and stole important intelligence that would affect the battlefield.
After Xie Weihua finished her work, she returned to the dressing room, put her dirty skirt back on, and then opened a window in the dressing room.
During this time, a servant asked at the door if she needed any drinks. She pretended to have an argument with Zhao Zhenchuan in the room and drove the servant away.
She kept looking at her watch, nervously waiting for Zhao Zhenchuan to return. Ten minutes before the ball started, Zhao Zhenchuan finally climbed in through the window. She hurriedly checked Zhao Zhenchuan's body for any marks. Meanwhile, the clothing delivery person from the department store arrived, offering several outfits for Xie Weihua to choose from.
Xie Weihua picked one at random and handed the stamped and signed certificate, as well as the information stolen by Zhao Zhenchuan, to the person who came to deliver the clothes.
It turned out that this person was arranged by Zhao Zhenchuan in advance. He left the banquet with some things and some clothes, then called people and split into two groups. One group sent out the intelligence, and the other pretended to be a member of the pseudo-government to go to the security department to pick up the person.
The dance was about to begin. Xie Weihua changed into a new outfit, took Zhao Zhenchuan's hand, and walked into the dance floor with great grace.
Zhao Zhenchuan is elegant and gentle, and you can't tell at all that he has just experienced a thrilling spy job.
