387: Chapter 185: The Disguise Skills of Professionals 387: Chapter 185: The Disguise Skills of Professionals Ten minutes later, Veronica emerged in her makeup, capturing everyone’s attention almost instantaneously.
In the past, Wang Yunxiao’s impression of Veronica had been of an outgoing and hearty elder sister-type, able to play basketball during the day and join him for beers and barbecues at night.
Though she was beautiful, she sparked no romantic allure, and although empathetic, she felt more like a brotherly neighbor than a sister figure.
Her charm wasn’t great with the opposite sex, but she was extremely popular with her own gender.
According to her, many sisters in the Church had secretly written her love letters, and every night, people used various excuses to share her bed.
The constant disturbance was too much for her, and as soon as she secured a long-term field assignment, she immediately requested a transfer.
Bearing in mind Ulan Tuya’s description of Veronica’s sparkling eyes, Wang Yunxiao believed she was telling the truth.
It made him envious…no, it made him lament how morals had declined and the ancient customs were fading.
But now, a completely different woman stood before Wang Yunxiao.
Veronica had changed into a flamboyantly tacky light pink lace pleated dress, her face caked with thick makeup, her lips painted with a glaringly cheap-looking deep rose lipstick, and she had even applied heavy eyeshadow.
Carrying a bag that looked luxurious but was actually brandless, her appearance resembled a stereotypical streetwalker who could be taken to a hotel with just five bucks.
“You…this…”
“Now, I’m posing as a woman from the West, claiming to be a princess of Nederland but unable to provide any identity proof or speak Dutch.
Last night, I hooked up with a local tycoon, but we couldn’t agree on a price, so I hit him over the head with a wine bottle.
His family called the police, and since you, as the police, have no experience dealing with this kind of situation and can’t verify my identity, you’ve come to the Consulate for help.”
Veronica skillfully pulled out a cigarette case from her bag, took out a slim lady’s cigarette, placed it between her lips, and swiftly described her created persona.
No, what kind of acting bug has gotten into you…
If you hadn’t mentioned hitting someone with a wine bottle, I wouldn’t even be sure you were really Veronica…
Wang Yunxiao had a plethora of retorts choking in his throat but could only sigh in the end.
“Alright, you’ve put it that way, there’s nothing more I need to add.”
As they approached the entrance of the Consulate, Wang Yunxiao whispered, “Did you bring a gun?
Just in case things blow up later, we might need to fight our way out.”
“I have it with me, don’t worry about me.”
Veronica, with an air of grizzled weariness, likewise lowered her voice, “Be mindful when you make your move later.
Despite what happens, we are still in a Consulate, and those inside are cloaked with diplomatic immunity.
Director Qin might take the blame, but as the frontline executor, a negative record in your personnel file could complicate any future promotions.”
“It doesn’t matter.
With my skills, I can make a living anywhere.”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that he had long wanted to do something like this.
Before crossing over, there was no opportunity — his family cared too much about appearances to ever do something like this.
But now, the Great Powers are at my command!
How about smashing your Consulate?
Believe it or not, I could throw a packet of washing powder in your faces?
I’m just so thrilled right now!
As the two walked inside, the guard at the door quickly extended his hand, “Hello, this is the Nederland Consulate in China.
Please state your business here.”
Wang Yunxiao pulled out a forged ID he had just prepared; in reality, he had simply swapped clothes and IDs with Gao Shan, tearing off and reaffixing the photo.
Otherwise, the words “Special Service Section” on his own ID might alert the people inside.
He also carried a forged ID from the Special Service Bureau for Qi Bing on his person at all times.
“Hello, I’m a police officer, and I’m here to have your personnel verify this woman’s identity.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
“Our leader had already called, you might want to check.”
The guard, seeing Wang Yunxiao so confident, hurriedly went inside to report to his superior.
Shortly afterward, a white man in a suit came out and said to Wang Yunxiao, “I’m sorry, officer, we did not receive a call from your side…”
“Perhaps our leader was delayed by some other matter.
You can’t just make us stand at the gate, can you?”
The white man hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside and let Wang Yunxiao in, “Then please come in and have a seat.
May I know what brings you here this time?”
“It’s nothing major…”
Wang Yunxiao pointed at the woman behind him, Veronica, “This woman claims to be a member of the Nederland Royal Family.
We came here to verify that.”
The man paused, looked at Veronica, whose face was weary from travel, and subconsciously greeted her in Dutch.
Veronica rolled her eyes, “Suka…”
The man’s face immediately turned as if he had swallowed something disgusting.
However, out of politeness, he still invited Wang Yunxiao and Veronica into the reception room and asked them to wait for a moment while he went to fetch the consul.
He walked away with his head down, completely unaware that Wang Yunxiao and Veronica had already taken a good look at the interior layout of the consulate.
They had just sat down when an elderly man, dressed flamboyantly and with a neatly groomed beard, the grease in his hair enough to let flies slip, walked in speaking in a thick Old Tianmen dialect.
“My God, old man, let me see who has arrived!”
He came forward, took Veronica’s hand, and kissed it, “Dear Princess, I’ve finally found you!”
Wang Yunxiao: ?
Veronica: ?
Wait a minute, why aren’t you sticking to the script?
Wang Yunxiao snapped out of it and quickly stood up to stop the old man, “Wait a second, sir, are you sure this woman is really a member of the Nederland royalty?”
“I am absolutely certain!
I even held her when she was a child!” the old man laughed heartily, extending his hand, “Thank you, officer.
I didn’t even know Little Marian had run off to the Far East by herself.
Her parents are frantic back home; please let me take her!”
“Hold on a second, what is your name?”
“I am Sir Kean von Lyndon, Nederland Consul in China.”
“A sir, is it?
Then permit me to ask one more question.
Does the Duchy of Nederland actually have a royal family?”
Wang Yunxiao asked curiously, “I’m not very familiar with this aspect, after all, you are called a duchy…
right?”
Hearing Wang Yunxiao say this, Sir Lyndon seemed displeased, “Of course, it’s a royal family.
Our Grand Duke is the current Emperor of the Frank Empire’s own uncle.
How could it not be a royal family?”
“Oh, I see…
I’m sorry, I really am not well-versed, but this woman.”
“This is Her Royal Highness, Marian Helen Wilhelmina!”
“Um…”
Wang Yunxiao didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
