Chapter 237: Living It Up Every Day
While eating lunch, Cao Weida keenly sensed that Liu Rusi was a bit off.
So, after finishing the meal, Cao Weida came to find her alone.
“Master.”
“Mm, I see you’re restless today. Has something happened?”
Liu Rusi looked conflicted, unsure whether to say it or not.
Cao Weida took her hand and said gently, “You’re my woman now. Is there anything you can’t tell your master?”
He clearly felt Liu Rusi’s body stiffen, then slowly relax as she said bitterly, “Master, you know my identity. The higher-ups learned I didn’t sacrifice, and today they sent me a code phrase over the radio.”
“I’ve grown tired of my old life. I don’t want to live that day-to-day existence anymore. I just want to live quietly with Master.”
“But if I don’t make contact, the higher-ups might hold me accountable and treat me as a deserter.”
For deserters, the Military Statistics Bureau’s sanctions are always extremely severe. If truly deemed a deserter, the Military Statistics Bureau would definitely send action team personnel to enforce family law.
But if she did make contact, she deeply suspected the Military Statistics Bureau leadership would have her use her identity as Cao Weida’s concubine to make her master do extremely dangerous things.
Like stealing intelligence, like smuggling.
Don’t overestimate the conscience of those Military Statistics Bureau officials. As Military Statistics Bureau personnel with a father who is a high government official, she knew their character all too well.
“So that’s it. Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Cao Weida ruffled her beautiful hair and pecked her on the face.
“Leave it to you? What can you do? Or do you have a relationship with my organization?”
She couldn’t help but suspect that without a relationship, how could he speak so confidently?
After all, in the Military Statistics Bureau’s eyes, Cao Weida was half a traitor!
Without a relationship, getting the Military Statistics Bureau to listen to a traitor would be nothing short of a pipe dream!
“You don’t need to worry about it. I have my ways. You just need to stay here safe and sound. Don’t trouble yourself with the rest.” Cao Weida smiled mysteriously. Joking aside, he now held a captain’s rank in the Military Statistics Bureau at least!
Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that he knew Xu Jin’ge, the Military Statistics Bureau’s high-level official stationed in Beiping!
It could be said that in today’s Beiping, Xu Jin’ge was already one of the highest-ranking Military Statistics Bureau officials.
If worst came to worst, he could find a way to contact Wu Jingzhong and have him put in a good word with the higher-ups. Wu Jingzhong could contact Boss Dai directly!
“Mm, thank you, Master~~” Liu Rusi smiled sweetly and nestled in her master’s arms, hugging his waist tightly.
For some reason, she had inexplicable confidence in what her master said, a strong sense of safety enveloping her heart.
She buried her face in his body and took a deep breath, nuzzling contentedly in his arms.
“Tsk, little vixen, you’re playing with fire!”
Feeling the softness rubbing against him, Cao Weida breathed hot air from his nostrils.
Liu Rusi, lying on him, gave a sly smile, then looked up at him with innocent eyes: “Master, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”
“Hey, you dare play dumb with me!” Cao Weida ‘erupted in anger’: “Looks like without some club education, you won’t behave!”
“Ah~ Master, what are you doing~~”
“Doing it!”
“.”
An hour later, Cao Weida left the room full of vigor.
Outside the room, all the maidservants kept their distance, their faces flushed pink, their gazes sweeping over him intentionally or not, full of furtive curiosity.
“？？？？”
What was going on? What were they doing?
Cao Weida was baffled, but Mohe, her face still rosy as if powdered, came over and whispered reproachfully in his ear: “Master, you really… in broad daylight… You can’t do that next time. How is Sister Liu supposed to face people now?”
After the reminder, Cao Weida finally understood. He touched his nose with a wry smile.
Could he be blamed? Clearly, it was your Sister Liu who started the fire. Didn’t he know his master had a quick temper?
Forget it. The more he explained this kind of thing, the worse it got. To avoid embarrassment, he decided to go out for a stroll.
Just as he stepped out, Xiangzi, who was learning to drive, got out of the car: “Cao Ye, where are you going? I’ll drive you.”
“No need. You keep learning. I’ll just wander around.”
After leaving Sesame Hutong, Cao Weida strolled aimlessly on the street.
At this time, little devil and traitor patrol teams passed by from time to time on the street, and there were far fewer pedestrians than ten days ago.
“Big Brother Cao!” While strolling, Little Ear’s voice came from nearby.
“On a search?” Cao Weida glanced behind him. Behind Little Ear were two patrolmen.
“You got it. These little devils are nothing but trouble all day.” Little Ear replied with a grin.
“Good day, Cao Ye.” *2.
The two patrolmen greeted him respectfully.
“Mm.” Cao Weida nodded to them, then pulled two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed them over: “Brothers, you’ve worked hard. Take these to smoke.”
“Thanks, Cao Ye!” The two patrolmen caught them grinning, tore open the packaging, took out a cigarette, and lit up.
“Just go through the motions. Don’t take this seriously.” Cao Weida reminded in a low voice.
Little Ear and the other three nodded with chuckles: “Don’t worry, Big Brother Cao. We’ll just wander around. We’re not dumb enough to help the little devils catch our own people.”
The other two patrolmen nodded repeatedly. Just wander casually in their own territory, rest and nap when tired—much better than actually searching and making trouble.
Anyway, a day was a day, and their salary wouldn’t be shorted.
Cao Weida had Little Ear step aside with him and said quietly, “How’s that little devil beast doing?”
Kawakami Kyoju, the little devil who had lusted after Mohe before, whom he had Little Ear set up.
He was petty and held a grudge.
“Don’t worry. Don’t you trust me? All arranged perfectly!” Little Ear grinned slyly.
“That little devil is totally hooked on gambling addiction now, gambling all night. I reckon he’s just coming home from the casino now, with opium in his mouth every day. He’s living the good life these days.”
“If Big Brother Cao has nothing going on, want me to take you to see?”
Cao Weida looked interested: “Sure, let’s go!”
As he had just said, he was petty and loved holding grudges!
Seeing someone who offended him meet their downfall in person naturally interested him greatly.
Anyway, he had nothing else to do, so why not go see?
So, the four of them headed straight toward Koudai Hutong.
Just as they arrived near Koudai Hutong, they saw a dispirited man yawning, listlessly walking toward a courtyard gate.
As he walked, he scratched his crotch several times, as if it itched there.
“Tsk, which beast is that?” Cao Weida looked in surprise at the withered figure, hair disheveled like a bird’s nest, dark bags under his eyes, face ghastly pale, as if on the verge of death.
Still, from his features, his face was vaguely recognizable.
Recalling how he looked last time, though not burly, he was at least human. Now…
Withered like a dried-up tree!
Little Ear smiled smugly: “Big Brother Cao, how about it? Not bad work on my mission, right!”
“Extremely satisfactory!” Cao Weida asked eagerly: “Tell me, how did you do it?”
“Not hard at all. Let me tell you, first I took him to the brothel, then secretly spiked the tea or cigarettes with tiger-wolf medicine…”
Meanwhile, yawning Kawakami Kyoju pushed open the door and entered his home.
He’d been having a wild time lately. He felt extremely ferocious these days, charging in and out of the brothel seven times over, incredibly valiant.
But at home, he was somewhat listless.
Thus, he hadn’t wanted to stay home lately.
Last night, he dominated on a woman’s belly, fighting a full three rounds, then contentedly held the girl and went to the gambling house to gamble.
While gambling, someone nearby was smoking opium.
By midnight, his energy flagged, so someone nearby offered him a few puffs, and he immediately perked up.
Energized, he played another game with a woman, then gambled more.
Anyway, after tossing and turning all night and half the day, he hadn’t closed his eyes.
Though his body was exhausted, his mind was unusually exhilarated.
These ten-odd days had taught him what enjoyment was, what life was, what stimulation was!
Life should be this stimulating!
Stimulating on a woman’s belly,
Stimulating gambling money.
Smoking opium was stimulating too!
These ten-odd days made him feel his first half-life was wasted!
Plus, he’d won quite a bit at the casino lately. The gamblers, even after losing money, were still deferential to him, not daring to offend.
They even invited him back tonight!
This was practically giving him money!
“Hmph, don’t think I didn’t hear some muttering behind my back that I’m afraid to lose. Did you think I didn’t hear? Am I the type to be afraid?!”
“Though, wonder if they can switch up the women tonight. These two are a bit loose; the experience isn’t as good…”
Kawakami Kyoju was already fantasizing about the wonderful night at the brothel, yawned, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Eating?
Eat what meal!
Better catch up on sleep; he had to continue tonight!
Kawakami Kyoju’s wife saw him return and wanted to ask after him caringly.
But before she could speak, she saw he was already asleep.
Smelling the rouge, smoke smell, and unknown scents on him, her brows furrowed.
Clearly, she had guessed where he’d been.
After all, no one was a fool.
Still, as a little devil woman, her tolerance for her husband was high.
Though Kawakami Kyoju was never home, he’d brought back some money lately, much better than before.
With money coming in, she naturally said no more.
