Chapter 776: It Turns Out to be Secret Agent Surveillance
Gui'er watched Ah Cheng quietly walk to the door, stand sideways next to the store door, and glance outside with the corner of his eye, as if waiting for that person to come.
The shop owner came over and said to her warmly, "Miss, please come and sit in the inner room."
Gui'er thought for a moment and then asked, "What's going on upstairs?"
The shop owner was stunned for a moment and said, "The upstairs is a warehouse, specially used for storing goods."
"I'll go up and take a look." Gui'er said and walked up the stairs. The shop owner didn't stop her.
She went to the second floor and saw some goods piled there, but not many. There were also two beds, probably reserved for the night watchmen. There was a window facing the street, so she hurried to the window and stood sideways like Ah Cheng, looking down through the window.
After more than ten seconds, a familiar figure walked towards them from the direction they had just come from. It was the person just now. At this time, Guier suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that she felt that this person was so familiar. This person was the customer who asked her to take his pulse when she met Manager Liu when she just came back.
Gui'er was suspicious at the time, and now she was being followed by him. It seemed that he was indeed targeting her. Who was this person? Was he a spy?
At this time, the man passed by the door of the grocery store. After he walked away for a distance, Acheng followed him out.
The shopkeeper came up with a cup of tea and said to Gui'er, "Miss, please be patient. I have sent someone to tell the young master. He should send someone to pick you up soon."
Guier smiled and said, "Thank you, boss." Although she was very curious about this store, she didn't want people to think that she was someone who liked to pry into information, so she held back.
About half an hour later, a small car drove up to the door of the grocery store. The people inside the store looked out and suddenly became panicked.
The shopkeeper came hurriedly and said to Gui'er, "Miss, the young master is here to pick you up. Please move on."
Gui'er hurried downstairs. Sha Yanxiao did not get out of the car. He was sitting in the car in his military uniform. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. The shopkeeper led a few employees and nodded and bowed beside the car to greet Sha Yanxiao. Sha Yanxiao smiled and nodded slightly.
Gui'er got in the car, and Sha Yanxiao patted her head: "Are you okay? Are you scared?"
Gui'er smiled and said, "It's not that bad. I just don't know who this person is. He actually knew my brother's address. Will I be in trouble now?"
Sha Yanxiao ordered Dali, "Drive." After the car slowly started moving, he said to Gui'er, "Not really. I think he's just a spy and won't do anything substantial. So we need to find out where he came from before we decide on a countermeasure."
Gui'er nodded. Now she felt that she could no longer hide the fact that she had asked Wu Mingqiang for help from Sha Yanxiao. After hesitating for a moment, she said to him, "Brother, I actually have one more thing to ask. The last time I went to my brother's house, Taohua said that they were struggling financially and asked me to find them a job at the Marshal's Mansion. I was concerned that if anything happened to them at the Mansion, it would definitely put you in a difficult position. So, I asked Brother Wu to find them a job outside as a bookkeeper at the grain store."
Sha Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, his expression slightly grim. He said, "They're definitely not suitable for work in the Marshal's Mansion. But you can always tell me, I can find them other jobs. Is this job at the grain store a safe one?"
Guier quickly smiled and said, "Little Brother Wu has always been reliable in his work, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sha Yanxiao's face became even gloomier, with mixed emotions surging in his eyes.
Gui'er also noticed it, but didn't dare to say anything. The car was eerily quiet.
At this time, the car finally returned to the Marshal's Mansion, and Gui'er breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why Sha Yanxiao was angry. Was it because she contacted his subordinates privately without going through him, and was suspected of taking advantage of the power of others?
She didn't know how to explain, so she got out of the car and hurried back to her room.
After a while, Dingxiang came in with a plate of grapes and said, "Young lady, please have some grapes. The young master specially sent someone to bring them back for you from out of town."
Gui'er looked at the pot of big, round grapes and thought to herself: I've been in the mansion for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen Sha Yanxiao so angry. It seems that I must have done something wrong. He's been so good to me, so I should at least apologize to him.
So he asked Dingxiang, "When you brought the fruit up just now, what did you see on my brother's face?"
Ding Xiang thought for a moment and said, "It's fine. I don't see anything unusual. Oh, by the way, Ah Cheng is back. The two of them are talking in the study."
When Gui'er heard this, she hurried out of the room, went to the study, knocked on the door and said, "Brother, it's me."
Sha Yanxiao's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Guier opened the door and walked in cautiously. She saw that Sha Yanxiao's face was very calm, as if he was no longer angry, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Ah Cheng asked Sha Yanxiao: "Master, what should we do?"
Gui'er asked curiously, "How's it going? Have you figured out who it is? Is he an enemy or a spy?"
They were both stunned for a moment. Sha Yanxiao turned to Gui'er and said, "How do you know he's a spy?"
Gui'er really wanted to slap herself. How could this idiot be so quick to speak? She stammered, "Because he was dressed very respectably, and a bit like the way his men used to dress when we were in Nanjing, so I just had this feeling."
Of course, this was all nonsense she made up. She judged that the man might be a spy because she herself had graduated and returned to Jiangcheng in a hurry to avoid being tracked down by the spies. So when someone was following her, she thought of this first. Now it seems that the Military Commission’s investigation into Lao Meng’s affairs has not been completed yet. I wonder if Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie are in danger?
Ah Cheng nodded and said, "It's definitely possible he's a spy. I followed him to his residence and saw the faces of several people there. I went to inform Brother Qiang, and he asked someone to check. One of the people with him was a small leader from the Central Military Commission who had previously visited the Marshal's residence to look for the young master. So it's basically confirmed."
Gui'er didn't feel scared this time, because this was her own territory after all. No matter how suspicious they were, they would not dare to act rashly without solid evidence. After all, she was the young lady of the Marshal's Mansion. If they touched her, they might not be able to escape from Jiangcheng unscathed.
"Brother, what should we do then?" Gui'er asked Sha Yanxiao.
Sha Yanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Since they are spies sent by the higher-ups, we'd better pretend we don't know what's going on. The strange thing is why they're following you."
