Su Qingci and Wang Zhongren stood by the window on the second floor, and the thick curtain was pulled aside by a large hand with distinct knuckles.
Through the curtains in the window, you can clearly see the pedestrians passing by below.
Wang Zhongren pointed to a woman in a white knee-length skirt below and said to Su Qingci, "That person, do you see her?"
"According to the intelligence we have received, she is Kong Liu's sister."
"What you need to do now is get to know her, and then slowly get closer to Sixth Master by relying on her."
"Kong Liu is a very wary person, but he's relatively more cautious around this younger sister..."
"However, it's not like we haven't tried in this direction, but it's not easy to get close to it."
Su Qingci nodded. "I understand, but she's with several other people with her. Will she let me get close?"
Wang Zhongren paused for a moment, then said, "That depends on how you act."
"Don't worry, we will have other colleagues to meet you. They will cooperate with you as needed."
Su Qingci looked at him and said, "If I have to do something bad while I'm on a mission, you won't hold me accountable later, will you?"
"For example?"
Su Qingci said seriously, "For example, fighting, or if I fail the mission and damage someone's property while escaping, or something like that..."
Wang Zhongren waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."
Having received a definite answer from Wang Zhongren, Su Qingci suppressed her excitement and set off with high spirits.
Target: Kong Yuzhen, 17 years old, orphaned at a young age and raised by her older brother Kong Liu, is eccentric and domineering.
Kong Liu, known as Master Liu, is the head of the 600 Department Store, the largest shopping mall in Shanghai.
Due to the nature of my job, I frequently travel throughout the country, visiting various factories to negotiate deals and procure goods for the shopping mall.
In reality, it was an organization in Shanghai that secretly collected domestic cultural relics and antiques, and used its geographical advantage to sell them overseas for huge profits.
Su Qingci skipped out the door, carrying a crossbody bag.
Kong Yuzhen and another couple were discussing where to go for a stroll.
"Aunt Qin, where shall we go shopping later?"
"How about we take a walk through the old alleyways in the commercial street first? They're quite unique there. Then we can visit the Forbidden City in the afternoon..."
Kong Yuzhen said, "Aren't there several prestigious schools here? I'd like to visit them too. There's also the night market and the Yong'an Road Department Store; I'd like to see them all."
“My brother still has several factories to visit, and he won’t be back for at least another week.”
Aunt Qin raised her eyebrows. "Yuzhen, Sixth Master said we can't just wander around. This isn't Shanghai; we don't know anyone here. What if something happens or we get separated from the group..."
"Ugh, why are you so annoying? My brother asked you to come with me, not to boss me around. You either listen to me, or you can go back and shop by yourself. I don't need you to come with me. It's so annoying..."
Aunt Qin's face looked a little unpleasant, but she held back and didn't say anything, instead gesturing for a man next to her to follow.
Kong Yuzhen wanted to go to the same place Su Qingci wanted to go, so on this day, Su Qingci and Kong Yuzhen bumped into each other three times.
Of course, Su Qingci was already having too much fun to pay any attention to Kong Yuzhen.
The next day, Su Qingci met Kong Yuzhen again at the flower and bird market.
Women's friendships can come out of nowhere, and so can their hostility. They might glance at each other as they pass by, and their first impression of each other is dislike.
Su Qingci: Damn it, she's even whiter than me.
Kong Yuzhen: I'm so jealous of her looks. Where did you buy that red dress? It would look better on me than on her.
An inexplicable hostility filled the air; after exchanging a glance, the two sides dispersed.
Su Qingci wasn't in a hurry at all, because Aunt Qin behind Kong Yuzhen was chattering incessantly. She could tell that Kong Yuzhen's patience was almost at its limit.
Sure enough, they arrived at a bird training ground. The bird trainer whistled into the air, and a jay flew through the crowd from above, landing steadily on the bird seeker's finger, eliciting a chorus of gasps from the crowd.
As various high-difficulty skills were displayed, the number of onlookers increased.
"Come on, come on, look, there are people performing bird training ahead, let's go take a look."
"Really? Then let's go quickly."
Listening to the conversation between the two people next to her, Kong Yuzhen also turned her gaze to the street in front.
Looking at the bustling crowd ahead, she instantly became interested.
"Aunt Qin, there's a bird training place up ahead, let's go take a look."
Aunt Qin followed behind, saying, "Yuzhen, let's not go. There are so many people, we don't want to get separated later."
An impatience flashed in Kong Yuzhen's eyes as she strode forward.
"Yuzhen~, oh Yuzhen~"
Aunt Qin had no choice but to squeeze in and chase after Kong Yuzhen.
The two squeezed into the crowd, watching the bird training performance with curiosity, and occasionally clapping along with everyone else.
Seeing that Kong Yuzhen's attention was focused on the performance and hearing the cheers from the people around her, Aunt Qin also looked towards the center of the field.
Kong Yuzhen secretly observed Aunt Qin out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that Aunt Qin was daydreaming, she quickly ducked behind her and disappeared into the crowd.
On the side of the bird training ground, Su Qingci narrowed her eyes when she saw Kong Yuzhen squeezing back in the crowd.
Damn it, you're finally running away! You said you were eccentric and domineering, but you're nothing! I was the one who ran away a long time ago.
Aunt Qin's nagging was driving her crazy.
Su Qingci followed Kong Yuzhen at a leisurely pace. After walking for a while, Kong Yuzhen saw her too. Su Qingci glared at her and walked past her.
Kong Yuzhen instantly flew into a rage, "That bitch, how dare she glare at me!!!"
Now it was her turn to secretly follow Su Qingci.
Su Qingci noticed Kong Yuzhen behind her out of the corner of her eye, a smile flashing in her eyes, before leaving the flower and bird market and heading into the alley.
What's needed now is an opportunity for her to naturally start a conversation with Kong Yuzhen, ideally one where the two share similar thoughts...
Just as Su Qingci was struggling with her decision, a woman ran out of the alleyway on the left with a look of terror on her face.
"Help! Help! They've killed me!"
A man behind her walked by, brandishing a rolling pin and cursing, "You stop right there! I'll beat you to death! I'm exhausted from working all day, and you can't even get me to pour you a glass of water when I come in?!"
As the woman ran, she explained, "Waaaaah, I was holding the baby at the time, and the baby was crying so loudly that I didn't hear it."
"Besides, the water is right in front of you, isn't it? Mom and your sister-in-law are sitting there, why don't you ask them to pour it?"
The man grabbed her hair. "You still dare to talk back? I think I've been too good to you lately, making you so itchy and arrogant!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the stick in his hand lashed out at the woman's waist.
