Chapter 57 Code Name Bell (18)
Xie Li's voice was somewhat emotional, and it was unclear whether she was speaking to Bai Moli.
"In that case, it's not bad to become godparents. That girl is absolutely gorgeous and will be a great help in the future!" A calculating glint flashed in Bai Moli's eyes.
"Jasmine is becoming more and more to my liking!"
"It's all to share my husband's burdens!" Bai Moli giggled and threw herself into Xie Li's arms, but she didn't notice the cold light under Xie Li's gentle mask.
……
Wangyou slept soundly through the night, and the next day, right after breakfast, Xie Li sent someone to deliver her appointment letter.
When Wangyou opened it, she found it was actually the position of secretary in the director's office of Operations No. 76. This position was very feasible.
The only downside is that it's too far from their home, making commuting to and from get off work inconvenient. But Wangyou is definitely not going to give up this place. It seems she'll have to find another place to live and then buy a robot.
"Ms. Xie, our director said that if there are no problems, you can start work in three days at the latest!"
"Thank you for making this trip. Have you eaten yet? Come in and have something to eat with us!"
"No, no, I'm in a hurry to get back!"
"Aunt Lin, go to the school and ask for a leave of absence for Chang Le. I'll take Chang Le out for a while!"
"Yes, miss!"
"Sister, are we going out shopping?" Chang Le's voice was excited but also a little cautious.
"No, we'll find a new place to live, closer to where your sister works. However, you might not be able to go to school anymore!"
"It's okay, sister. I'll just finish the homework you assigned me at home. I've already learned what the teachers taught at school!"
"Chang Le, your sister has something to tell you."
"Sister, you tell me!"
"When we move to our new place, remember, no matter who asks us if we still have that wooden sign, just say no, your sister has already put it away!"
"Sister, if someone comes to me with something and asks me where I bought it, I'll say, 'This wooden sign is so pretty. Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too.' If they don't have it, I'll ask them what kind of wooden sign it is and if it's pretty."
“That’s a good answer!” Wangyou nodded. “Also, don’t tell anyone about us. Even if you do, make sure it’s three parts truth and seven parts lies. If anyone asks me what you and I do every day, just say that you do horse stance training all day, and I, your sister, do horse stance training all day!”
"Sister, I'll remember that. You can't say that you often sleep for a long time, can you?"
"Yes, Chang Le is really smart!"
"Don't worry, sister, Chang Le won't tell anyone!"
Wangyou instilled a lot of knowledge in Changle, and then the two changed their clothes and swaggered off to look for a house near No. 76, while also looking for a maid.
"Miss Xie, what are you doing here?"
"I need to find a place to live now, since I have to start working!"
"Oh, little girl, we meet again!" Bai Moli appeared out of nowhere.
"Madam Bai!"
“This is your younger brother. He looks just like our Lao Xie. How can he not be?” Bai Moli squatted down and touched Chang Le’s neck without making a sound.
After watching her finish touching him, Wangyou pulled Changle back a step. "Madam Bai, my brother and I don't like being touched by others. Please stay away!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Bai Moli's eyes. They were just two orphans, yet they dared to talk back to her!
"I apologize for my rudeness!" Bai Moli quickly put on a smile. "I just heard you were looking for a house, and I happen to know a few vacant ones. I'll take you to see them!"
"Um, Madam, Director Xie has already made the arrangements!" the man in black standing behind said, slightly embarrassed.
Wangyou noticed that Bai Moli's expression changed again. Was this person a master of face-changing, or did she think that since they were children, there was no need to pretend too much?
"Old Xie has arranged everything. Why didn't he tell me? But since he's arranged it, I won't interfere. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now!" Bai Moli forced herself to say this and hurriedly left.
"Brother, since Director Xie has made the arrangements, could you please take us to see it?"
"Okay, come with me. You can just call me Xiao Sun!"
"Brother Sun, I'm in trouble!"
"Brother Sun, thank you!"
A little embarrassed, Xiao Sun quickly walked ahead to lead the way, and soon they arrived at the outside of a detached courtyard.
"This is it. You can take a look and see if you're satisfied!"
Wangyou didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Changle inside.
The two-story building, with its antique-style decor, was quite satisfactory to Wangyou.
"Brother Sun, did this house used to be inhabited by spies or agents of some family?" Wangyou asked, her words tinged with unease.
"Uh, why do you say that?"
“I’ve had a keen sense of my five senses since I was a child. As soon as I entered this house, I had a feeling that I was being watched. I just walked around this house and found a bugging device!” Wangyou said, throwing all the bugging devices in her pocket onto the table.
"Brother Sun, is this free?" Chang Le asked innocently.
"Clap clap clap!" With applause and footsteps, a number of people walked in. "Not bad, not bad!"
Looking around, Wangyou discovered that there was more than one person in the room. Besides Xie Li, there were several men with fierce expressions, but she didn't know who they were.
"So many people have come, are they here to arrest me?" Wangyou wondered. Are these people in the Action Department always so idle, or do they have some kind of activity going on?
"Of course not, it's just that the position of secretary in the operations department is crucial, so here's a little test!"
"This is unreasonable. Do you think everyone in your operations department can find so many listening devices at once? A secretary isn't that important to me. Tell me, what do you see in me?"
"Since you've already guessed it, I won't beat around the bush. I've heard you can use poison, which is a very dangerous thing!"
"Where did you hear that? That's ridiculous! All I know how to make is some sleeping potion, and I only do it for self-defense!"
Wangyou was pondering where these people got their information. In Shanghai, she only used poison on a few local thugs, but because of the threat of her drug, those people couldn't tell anyone.
Could it be that she asked Grandma Chen to spread the word and these people investigated it, or that someone climbed over the wall in the middle of the night?
"If you don't know how to make drugs, then why did you spread the news that your walls are covered in poison!"
"Brother, how have you survived in No. 76 until now? What kind of place is Shanghai? It's a place where all kinds of gangs gather. My brother and I have to use something to protect our lives if we want to live properly!" Wangyou looked at the man as if he were an idiot and said.
"Oh, by the way, I've also prepared animal traps and snares filled with bamboo spikes under my wall. Would you like to try them out?"
"Director Xie, this person is definitely suspicious. We should take him back to Unit 76 for questioning first!" said a man with a face full of fat.
Wangyou now understood why these people had come; they were there to accumulate merit for her.
