Yu Tang immediately informed Yuan Chi of this news, and Yuan Chi reported it to his superiors, urging them to tighten control over customs channels.
Shen Yu frowned slightly and said, "I'm more worried now that Jiang Qingguo will help Vasily establish a secret DP manufacturing plant in the country."
"If customs can't find it, then they have most likely already started operating domestically."
"The guns could also be disassembled into various parts, brought in by a large number of people in batches, and then reassembled by Vasily."
"This will put us in a passive position."
If Shen Yu is allowed to do evil, he has many ways to achieve his goal.
But asking him to deal with each move step by step while also protecting public safety is much more difficult.
This also reflects the difficulty of the police in carrying out their duties.
After all, protecting is much more difficult than destroying.
“Then take the initiative,” Yu Tang said. “My operation has the full support of Director Zhao. With your informants and the police’s informants, we’re not afraid of not being able to find evidence of his crimes in D City.”
Shen Yu turned to look at him, suppressing the faint unease in his heart.
He nodded.
Come to think of it, the two of them have never spent Chinese New Year together.
This time, I was fortunate enough to be free from illness. Although the ending was destined to be sad, enjoying the present moment is the most important thing.
Shen Yu gradually relaxed from his work and returned home to clean the house with Yu Tang.
She even steamed buns and rice cakes herself, unafraid of failure, and became more courageous with each setback.
They only stopped to rest when they saw Yu Tang's satisfied smile.
Because he remembered that Yu Tang said he liked listening to crosstalk, he specially downloaded a collection of crosstalk performances and played it in the living room.
Although it was noisy, it was also very warm and cozy.
"Shen Yu, when is your birthday?" Yu Tang sat cross-legged on the sofa and said, "I don't think I've ever heard you mention your birthday before."
Shen Yu paused slightly with his fingertips: "I've never celebrated my birthday."
"I don't even know when I was born."
"Over the years, I felt that it wasn't an important matter, so I didn't bother to look into it, and I was too lazy to bother with it."
Yu Tang's eyes widened: "How can a birthday not be important?"
He thought for a moment and said, "How about we celebrate the New Year? From now on, the New Year will be your birthday, and I'll celebrate it for you!"
"Are you going to... celebrate for me?" Shen Yu lowered his eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said softly, "How many times can we celebrate?"
"What?"
"It's nothing..." Shen Yu came back to his senses and said, "I said okay."
Perhaps when he first proposed to die, he was quite nonchalant and determined to do so.
But as she spent more time with Yu Tang, she felt the love he had for her, and the happiness she had experienced over the years.
He... felt a little reluctant to part with it.
Every day, two voices are arguing inside my head.
One person said, "Why don't you just take him and escape from here, and go abroad?"
Even if he doesn't want to, you can force him to stay by your side. You clearly have this ability, so why do you insist on rushing to your death?
The other one said no, you must let Yu Tang complete the mission with glory.
Moreover, you have done too many bad things and have long been a scourge on society. Your death is not innocent; it is a necessary atonement.
When he attempted suicide before, he genuinely felt that his life was useless.
Now, however, because of the things I care about and the people I love, I am tempted by the beauty of this world.
It's a bit sad.
On New Year's Eve, Shen Yu and Yu Tang cooked a table full of dishes together.
He also invited Shen Yu's group of bodyguards who were coldly guarding the villa outside to protect his safety, as well as Liao Yu's six men and one criminal investigator, to come in for dinner.
This would have been absolutely impossible for the former Shen Yu, who was a germaphobe and very cautious.
But now, thanks to Yu Tang, everything that was impossible has become possible.
"Indeed, the New Year's Eve dinner is more lively when there are more people."
Yu Tang opened a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and a bodyguard next to him, having received a glare from Shen Yu, immediately snatched it away and poured drinks for everyone.
“Brother Yu, you know, ever since you came, Master Shen’s temper has completely changed 180 degrees. Several times I made mistakes and thought I was going to die, but Master Shen always let me off the hook because of you.”
Liao Yu raised his glass and said, "This is all thanks to you! I'd like to toast you!"
Liao Yu had become quite familiar with Yu Tang during this time and vaguely guessed that Yu Tang was the man his boss had fallen head over heels for.
After all, he had been by Shen Yu's side for so long and knew Shen Yu's sharp eyes and his devoted personality.
She wouldn't be this emotionally invested in just a stand-in.
Therefore, he became increasingly polite to Yu Tang.
"You're really becoming more and more unambitious." Shen Yu glared at him. "Instead of toasting Yu Tang here, you should be thinking about how to make fewer mistakes!"
He drank the wine in his glass, rubbed the inside of the glass, and said.
"After all, I can't always be there to supervise you."
Chapter 26
The villain is resurrected for the second time (26)
Liao Yu was taken aback and looked at Shen Yu.
Thinking back to the time some time ago, Shen Yu approached him and taught him things as if he were entrusting his last wishes.
I feel inexplicably sad.
But he knew that these things couldn't be brought up at this critical juncture, as it would shake people's morale.
He then suppressed his anger and said with a grin, "Master Shen, I know I was wrong. I will change, I promise!"
After a few rounds of drinks, the meal was almost finished.
Yu Tang took out the birthday cake that had been baked in advance and put it on the table.
Liu Zi asked, "Brother Yu, whose birthday is today?"
Yu Tang folded the cake crown, placed it on Shen Yu's head, and said with a smile, "It's your Master Shen's birthday."
Everyone was shocked when these words were spoken.
Click—
A bodyguard's wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.
Shen Yu glared at him coldly, and the burly man immediately scrambled to get a broom and dustpan and cleaned up the ground.
Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Shen Yu's expression turned slightly cold, but he carefully steadied the crown on his head.
Yu Tang pinched his cheek, making him smile again.
Ask the group of men over there who were stunned with fear.
Does everyone know how to sing the birthday song?
Yes, I will.
Who dares to say they won't? Don't they want to live?
Shen Yu leaned back in his chair and commanded, "Then sing..."
"Let me start for everyone." Yu Tang was a little helpless as what was supposed to be a pleasant surprise turned into a shock, but he still clapped his hands and sang: "Happy birthday to you - 1, 2."
The men dared not slack off and quickly joined in the singing.
"Happy birthday to you--"
The birthday song sung in a rough voice was particularly comical.
But echoing in the warm indoor space, it didn't seem too abrupt.
Shen Yu's gaze fell on the flickering candlelight on the cake.
He was slightly lost in thought.
When the singing stopped, Yu Tang held his shoulders with both hands and pushed him forward.
Make a wish...
"Birthday wishes are blessed by the gods."
"It will happen someday."
Shen Yu looked at Yu Tang and asked softly, "Is it possible for me to become an ordinary person and be with you?"
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
My eyes are slightly sore.
He nodded and pointed to the cake: "Make a wish, blow out the candles, and I'll make it come true for you."
Shen Yu finally smiled.
Because he believed that Yu Tang would not lie to him.
After eating the cake, the bodyguards returned to their posts.
Shen Yu called Liao Yu and Liu Zi into his study and spoke with them for a while.
When the two of them came out, their eyes were red.
They couldn't understand the choice Shen Yu made at all.
Although they were usually afraid of Shen Yu, they also respected him greatly.
