Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 968 - 35: The Astonishing Wisdom in Water Margin Tale

The fundamental quality of an excellent spy is not that you can’t see he’s a spy, but that you have no impression of him at all.

Take Meng Wei, for example.

Wang Yunxiao heard from Veronica that she was a double agent for the Red Lantern Society and Qianjin Church.

Both parties’ leadership knew her background and implicitly approved of her existence as a spy. But the common people didn’t know.

Later, Meng Wei mingled with Zhou Qing and Song Lili to form a literary society, and her presence was still very weak. Although she was involved in almost every incident, hardly anyone remembered she existed.

Now that Li Mumu mentioned it, Wang Yunxiao suddenly recalled that this child had a very mysterious background.

Her biological father, Old Blind Meng, was a big loafer in the Nantong District back then, mainly involved in smuggling. Later, his family was raided, and he was executed, leading her and her mother, Cui Xiaoying, to roam the streets...

That Old Blind Meng was the current member of the Meng Family, and by relation, should call Meng Wansheng "uncle."

Perhaps Wang Yunxiao’s outburst that day inspired Meng Wansheng, for the next day, he started searching for beauties in the family.

Throughout history, the means for forming connections often relied on money and women.

When the money-driven offense doesn’t work, you can only use a beauty trap; there’s no other way.

The Meng Family eventually found two girls, one was Meng Xiaoyue, and the other was Meng Wei.

Meng Xiaoyue was an illegitimate daughter with a lowly status and no say. Meng Wei didn’t want to recognize this connection.

When the family was in trouble, you ran as far as you could, not even looking back at us. Oh, now you’re in trouble, and suddenly you remember me, wanting to introduce me to a promising young man...

Cui Xiaoying drove the Meng Family’s spokesperson out with a broom, leaving them no choice but to push Meng Xiaoyue to the front.

Their plan was like this—first polite, then aggressive. First, let Meng Xiaoyue seduce an officer in the Special Service Section, anyone will do, as long as she seduces one. If the other party is unwilling, then slander him, making a big scene.

In these times, how could a woman use her chastity to slander others, right?

Once the ruckus is big enough, known by everyone in the city causing public outrage, this case would naturally just fade away.

How can one say about this plan...

Let’s just say it fully fits Wang Yunxiao’s stereotypical impression of the Meng Family’s intelligence.

You can’t expect everyone’s IQ to reach Zhuge Kongming’s level.

Many people seem to have normal intelligence, but actually, they only operate at the "bullying the weak" level. Once the power balance reverses, changing from attack to defense, they’re completely clueless.

The only solution the Meng Family could think of before was to find someone to smooth things over.

Chen Yuguang is stubborn, continuing to investigate even after being shot.

Chen Yuguang’s superior, Wang Yunxiao, is also stubborn. He wants the money and the people, but won’t relent.

Wang Yunxiao’s superior, Qin Xiangdong, is the most stubborn of them all. No matter who tries to contact him or bribes or threatens him, it’s useless. Either you get rid of me literally, or you remove me physically. As long as I’m still the director, I will investigate.

As for the Police General Bureau and the Special Service Bureau, the Meng Family doesn’t have access to that level.

Seeing no other options, they resorted to the most shameless tactic—making a scene and playing crazy.

Once people reach this point, there’s no more talk about dignity. Let alone their daughter’s chastity, when desperate, they might grab a handful of crap to fight you, just betting that you’re too disgusted to touch it.

This is documented in the "Water Margin Tale," a piece of black history that Brother Kongming would rather not mention.

If it were someone else, this scheme might actually succeed.

For instance, a certain Section Chief Wang who prefers not to be named, if you play a beauty trap on him, he would absolutely fall for it.

But Meng Xiaoyue encountered Guozi.

With much effort, using sweet talk to deceive Guozi to a secluded place, she planned to play some flirty games. Unexpectedly, Guozi merely glanced at her indifferently and said, "I can’t tell the front from the back even with your clothes on."

Meng Xiaoyue was completely at a loss.

How can you insult someone like that! I have a figure too, isn’t it because the clothes are loose?

It’s just early spring and still cold, wearing a cotton jacket not showing my figure is my fault?

But Guozi didn’t play by the usual rules.

"Then take off the clothes and let me see."

"Here?"

"Yeah, hurry up, let me see if there’s anything there."

Which decent woman could endure such humiliation? Although Meng Xiaoyue felt she no longer counted as a decent woman after doing this, she still had to act the part a bit.

"Then let’s go to the inner room..."

"What’s with the inner room, such a hassle!"

Before she could mentally prepare, Guozi went straight to action.

He just yanked off her cotton jacket on the spot.

Meng Xiaoyue, seeing this wasn’t right, hurriedly grabbed the scissors and screamed.

This was a pre-planned script. If Guozi wasn’t swayed, so be it. If he took the bait, once Meng Xiaoyue shouted, it would draw people over. With everyone watching, Guozi wouldn’t be able to explain, even with a hundred mouths.

Commonly known as an "Immortal Jump."

This is also recorded in the "Water Margin Tale," a dark history that Headmaster Lin would prefer not to mention.

In the past, many of the crooked ideas in ordinary people’s heads actually came from these storytelling books.

Future people reading old tales often found them unsatisfying, feeling they bullied the main character, like Stronghold Master Song focused on appeasement while the Yang Family’s loyalty led even the elderly matriarch to fight on the battlefield...

Back then you could only write like this. Writing about defying destiny would cause big trouble. You might wake up one day to find yourself kidnapped by rough men and made a strategist, starting a rebellion with a call.

But Guozi isn’t Lin Chong.

Guozi didn’t dislike women, but he also didn’t have any tender feelings towards them.

With one slap, the young girl was sprawled on the ground, vomiting blood.

If it were Wang Yunxiao, he might have naturally labeled her as an evil spirit and took her back to the Special Service Section for interrogation.

But Guozi was straightforward, telling the Meng Family, "Next time find someone with a good figure, obedient, sensible, and caring. This kind of stick just gets stuck in my teeth."

The Meng Family was quite angry. If there was a girl with a good figure, obedient, sensible, and caring, would they leave her for you?

But upon thinking again, there actually was one.

Meng Wei... her stepmother.

Cui Xiaoying.

The mistress Old Blind Meng married before his death, considered a member of the Meng Family rounding it up.

Moreover, there’s a rumor that this widow Cui was romantically involved with Scar Wang, seemingly having an affair.
