You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 214 Ghost
After making those harsh remarks, Su Wen felt quite guilty.

Liu Manping left without saying goodbye. Even if Su Wen was stupid, he would know that something was wrong. What's more, the two section chiefs from No. 76 were staking out the place.

After hesitating for several minutes, Su Wen was reluctant to give up the power he had now. Moreover, even if he wanted to run away, Su Wen didn't know where to go. Helpless, he could only do as Zhao Xuan said and go to the original organization to see Tu Feiyuan first.

Su Wen figured that Tu Feiyuan wouldn't make things too difficult for him since they would need him for the pufferfish conference three days later.

In the suite across the way, Dao Yan was thrown onto the large bed by Zhao Xuan with a startled cry.

"Ah Xuan, does that mean you've agreed to let me join the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Zhao Xuan took off his tie and walked step by step toward Dao Yan:
"Joining the Military Intelligence Bureau? Don't even dream about it. You were there when your uncle interrogated Tiger Girl, weren't you? Don't even mention the Military Intelligence Bureau, the entire Kuomintang is rotten to the core."

"If you join a place like this, you'll end up being eaten alive, leaving not even bones or scraps. Ah Yan, I really can't understand what is there about the Kuomintang that you're loyal to?"

Dao Yan's heart trembled, and she snorted coldly without saying another word.

This is something she has been deliberately avoiding.

Every time Dao Yan dreams of that interrogation night, she wakes up in a fright and reminds herself again and again that it was the Party and the State that nurtured her, and serving the Party and the State is to be loyal to the Dragon Kingdom.

Moreover, Dao Yan firmly believes that, at least within the Military Intelligence Bureau, things are not as Zhao Xuan described, much less as Ding Moqun claimed.

Otherwise, how could so many predecessors and colleagues in the Military Intelligence Bureau have been so willing to sacrifice themselves one after another?
There was also his teacher, Chen Chuyin, who was so righteous and indignant. If the Military Intelligence Bureau was rotten to the core, how could Chen Chuyin be willing to continue to serve the Military Intelligence Bureau and be loyal to the Party and the country?

Thinking of this, Dao Yan snorted at Zhao Xuan again:
"You've seen too little. One day I'll show you that the Party and the State are not what you think, and the Military Intelligence Bureau is even less so! When that time comes, I'll make you willingly join us!"

"Go take a shower now. You're all sweaty and stinky, don't even think about touching me!"

Watching Zhao Xuan walk towards the restroom with a half-smile, and seeing his back, Dao Yan's resolute expression slowly turned into one of insecurity.

Shanghai, Nanjing Road, the former government office.

Upon seeing Su Wen, Tu Feiyuan asked with considerable curiosity:

"Mr. Su, why are you the only one here? Did Section Chief Zhao and Section Chief Dao go after that female agent?"

Su Wen gave an awkward laugh:

"Mr. Doiyuu, this is what happened."

After learning what had happened at the Yangtze Hotel that night, Tu Feiyuan knew he had definitely alerted the enemy, but it didn't matter, as long as Su Wen was alright.

Anyway, the meeting three days later will definitely be a trap, and he is not afraid of a counterattack from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Oh, hahaha, I didn't expect Zhao Sang to have this side to him. It's just his true nature, nothing surprising."

"However, Mr. Su, I'll remind you one last time: before the meeting starts, you'd better stay obediently in the city office building. Also, I'll send someone to follow you. If there are any more problems on your end, I won't mind replacing the mayor!"

Su Wen nodded hurriedly in alarm:
"Mr. Doi-Yuan, rest assured, I promise I won't make the same mistake again. It was that woman who seduced me."

Su Wen felt that he had really lost out big time this time.

Having secretly dated Liu Manping for so long, he had only held her soft, boneless hand. He had planned to go over tonight to get things done, and he even prepared a special drug to enhance his pleasure.

Luckily he didn't eat it beforehand, otherwise he would have been incredibly embarrassed tonight.

And that woman, Su Wen swore that if he ever saw her again, he would skin her alive!
The Military Intelligence Bureau Headquarters in Chongqing, Director's Office.

Ye Biean is in a bad mood. The operation failed, and he didn't get the list. That's not all. The Eternal Night Group also suffered heavy losses.

"Fifth Brother, are you sure? The Eternal Night Group only has Diao Chan left now?"

Ye Bi'an also hoped that this information was false, but it was sent by Diao Chan herself.

Adding to the telegram that Agave had sent earlier, Ye Biean felt completely overwhelmed.

"Director, it's confirmed that the mission has failed."

"However, we also know that the Pufferfish Conference will be held three days later at the Cathay Hotel in the French Concession. At that time, the Governor of the French Concession, Pierre, will attend and witness the conference."

"By then, everyone on the list for the Pufferfish Project will have gathered. Since we can't act in advance, we'll have to eliminate them all."

Boss Dai looked at Ye Biean with disappointment:
"That's not how you replied to me back then. You seemed so confident. But not long after, Fifth Brother, do you know how much our Military Intelligence Bureau will have to pay to carry out the final step?"

Ye Biean lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.

I thought to myself, I had confidently assured myself that there would be no problem, but in the end I still made it to the last step.

Although finding out the time and place of the meeting could be considered a redemption, the thought of sacrificing someone in the final step made Ye Bi'an's scalp tingle.

After all, on that day, not only would the original agency and the agents of No. 76 be present, but the French Concession police would also definitely be there.

With these three forces intersecting, the Military Intelligence Bureau will face heavy casualties if it tries to complete its mission under this impenetrable fortress. In fact, the remaining half of the Shanghai station might be wiped out.

Mr. Dai sighed, picked up the phone, and dialed:
"Hey, it's me, Third Brother. Call Secretary Mao and have him come to my office immediately."

Five minutes later, in the Director's office, Shen Xing and Mao Shu saw Ye Biean standing there looking dejected, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts.

After hearing what Boss Dai said, Shen Xing and Mao Shu exchanged a glance, and they really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

"What's wrong? Judging from your expressions, you two don't have anything to say?"

"Mao Shu, let me tell you, Fengweilan was the deputy captain of this operation. If the mission fails, you will also be held responsible."

Mao Shu gave a bitter smile, took a step to the side away from Shen Xing, and said:

"Director, I believe it's time to activate the young tiger!"

Shen Xing glared at Mao Shu. This guy only remembered the cub when things were at a dead end. Wasn't he just pushing the cub into a fire pit?
However, considering that Fengweilan was his apprentice's wife, Shen Xing sighed and said:

"Director, Secretary Mao is right. Now is the time to put Young Tiger to use. I suggest that we hand over command of the subsequent operations to Young Tiger."

"The responsibility for the failure of this operation does not lie solely with Vice Captain Fengweilan, but more so with Captain Lao Chen. It seems that neither of them is suitable to continue serving as captain."

"I won't give orders to Young Tiger unless you give him the captaincy!"

Seeing Shen Xing's shameless face, Mao Shu couldn't help but twitch. Ye Biean nodded quickly, after all, he also bore a great responsibility for how things had come to this.

Now that it's time to clean up the mess, Shen Xing only made a small request, which Ye Biean felt was perfectly acceptable!

"Director, the third brother is right. Young Tiger has completed countless missions. In the current situation, with such a high-pressure mission, no one is more suitable than Young Tiger."

It wasn't that no one thought of the conductor. Although they believed the conductor could complete the subsequent tasks, this madman was uncontrollable, and the task was extremely important. Not to mention Ye Biean and the others, even Boss Dai didn't dare to think about it.

It would be perfectly fine to let the conductor infiltrate the intelligence department of the military police headquarters and be a quiet, beautiful young woman.

"Alright, Captain, hand it over to Young Tiger. Third Brother, get this done quickly. The Pufferfish Conference absolutely cannot be allowed to take place."

Shen Xing hurriedly left the bureau chief's office. Fifteen minutes later, Boss Dai was still cursing Ye Biean, and Mao Shu also suffered an undeserved disaster. At this moment, Shen Xing actually returned.

The curse stuck in Boss Dai's neck made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He snorted coldly and looked at Shen Xing, who had pushed the door open and entered:

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

Shen Xing walked in with a serious expression:

"Director, the latest telegram from Tequila is that Zhaojun, Xishi, and Guifei of the Eternal Night Group all died at the hands of Zhao Xuan, the head of the 76th Intelligence Section."

Mr. Dai's heart skipped a beat, and he took two steps back and slumped into his office chair.

"What did you say? Died at Zhao Xuan's hands?"

Ye Biean's eyes turned red at this moment. As soon as Boss Dai finished speaking, Ye Biean glared fiercely at Mao Shu:

"Secretary Mao, wasn't Zhao Xuan assigned to you? Didn't you say you were confident you could turn him to the enemy? Is this how you turned him?"

Mao Shu was speechless. The telegram from the agave represented the phoenix tail orchid.

What's wrong with this Phoenix Tail Orchid? It's one thing to fail at turning them to defect, but how could she let Zhao Xuan shoot his colleagues, especially members of the Eternal Night Group!
Inside the bureau chief's office, just as Boss Dai was frowning and looking at Shen Xing with a face full of suspicion, an incredulous glint flashed in Shen Xing's eyes.

While it's understandable that Zhao Xuan couldn't hold back in front of everyone back in the original organization, the subsequent issues are much more serious.

dong dong~
There was a knock on the office door, and Ye Biean and the others all turned around to look.

Liu Mingyan pushed open the door, carrying a folder. She was startled to see so many leaders there, but immediately saluted and said:

"Report! Tiger Girl is calling back!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Dai immediately stood up, and Shen Xing quickly stepped forward and took the telegram from Liu Mingyan's hand.

Upon seeing this, Boss Dai immediately waved his hand, signaling Ye Biean and Mao Shu to step back.

At this moment, only Shen Xing and Boss Dai remained at the desk.

The two quickly translated the telegram. When they saw its contents, their pupils contracted, and their gloomy expressions softened considerably, though the doubt in their eyes deepened.

Liu Mingyan stood at the door watching. Ye Biean and Mao Shu, seeing the expressions on Boss Dai and Shen Xing's faces, knew that the telegram had been translated.

However, Boss Dai hesitated to let them come forward, and Ye Biean asked with some confusion:

"Chief, something happened to Young Tiger?"

Boss Dai shook his head and burned the telegram without even showing it to them.

Ye Biean and Mao Shu were full of doubts, and even Liu Mingyan, who was standing at the door, looked surprised.

However, they also knew that the content of Tiger Girl's reply was probably beyond their knowledge.

Boss Dai sat back in his office chair, his expression calm as he looked at Shen Xing, who had retreated to Ye Biean's side:
"It's alright. The most important thing now is the follow-up actions, to carry them out as previously discussed."

"Third brother, reply to Tiger Girl and agree with her opinion."

Although Ye Biean and the others were puzzled, they kept quiet when they saw that Boss Dai seemed unwilling to continue.

After Shen Xing left with Liu Mingyan, Mao Shu said somewhat guiltily:

"Chief, what about Zhao Xuan? I didn't expect that kid to be so clueless. Maybe we should just get rid of him!"

Ye Biean nodded in agreement. With the three members of the Eternal Night Group killed by Zhao Xuan, no one wanted to kill Zhao Xuan more than Ye Biean.

To everyone's surprise, Boss Dai shook his head after hearing this and said:
"The most important thing now is the pufferfish meeting. Everything else can take a backseat. We'll discuss our attitude towards Zhao Xuan after the follow-up actions are successful. Alright, everyone go back now."

Shanghai, Nanjing Road, Yangtze Hotel.

Zhao Xuan glanced at Dao Yan, who was fast asleep with her face pressed against his chest, and then received another telegram from Shan Cheng.

(Sir, a telegram from Yamashiro: You will be the captain of the team tasked with disrupting the Fugu Conference, and the Eternal Night Group will be placed under your command. This is the code word!)
Zhao Xuan glanced at it and nodded slightly.

(Understood, Edith. Keep an eye on Liu Manping's whereabouts. I'll go meet her tomorrow.)
After speaking with Edith, Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Yan's profile with tender eyes.

Since these members of the Eternal Night Group have such a good relationship with his wife, he should protect them to prevent them from actually dying.

Previously, Dao Yan had suppressed all her emotions, but now that she knew her identity had been exposed, she felt much more relaxed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan smiled, hoping that Dao Yan wouldn't beat him too badly when she found out his identity.

Now is not the time to reveal my identity to Dao Yan. Letting her continue her mission of turning me to the enemy is actually a way to protect Dao Yan.

Otherwise, if Dao Yan had easily completed this task, who knows what other tasks the mountain city would have assigned to him?

While Zhao Xuan could control the mission of turning Dao Yan to defect, he couldn't guarantee Dao Yan's safety for any other dangerous mission.

That's fine. Let Dao Yan focus most of her attention on how to win me over.

After thinking it over, Zhao Xuan gently embraced Dao Yan's jade-like back and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Dao Yan, with a rosy complexion, had just opened her eyes when she saw Zhao Xuan, who had already gotten up, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at her.

Dao Yan's rosy cheeks darkened instantly. She pulled herself up, revealing her fair shoulders and long, slender neck. Turning her head, she looked at Zhao Xuan and said in an annoyed tone:

"What are you looking at?"

"hungry!"

Zhao Xuan smiled, picked up a bowl of warm seafood porridge from the bedside table, scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Dao Yan's lips.

Dao Yan was slightly taken aback, and before she could even open her red lips, she was fed a bite.

"Take your time eating, it's still early. I have something to do at the original headquarters later. You drive back to No. 76 first."

Being taken care of by Zhao Xuan made Dao Yan feel a little uncomfortable at first. In addition, Zhao Xuan's tone of voice had become so gentle when he spoke to her, so Dao Yan subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Realizing she had unconsciously agreed to Zhao Xuan's request, Dao Yan hurriedly reached out to snatch the porridge from Zhao Xuan's hand, but the quilt slipped off, revealing her bare skin.

Seeing Zhao Xuan staring at her intently, Dao Yan exclaimed in surprise and quickly pulled the blanket over herself again.

"Alright, you can go now if you have something to do. Put the porridge down, I can eat it myself."

Following Dao Yan's instructions, Zhao Xuan placed the porridge back on the bedside table, then bent down and gently kissed Dao Yan's beautiful eyes.
"Okay, I'll leave now."

"By the way, with your uncle away, don't think you're unnoticed just because you've been frequently going in and out of the French Concession lately. Be more careful in the future; Wang Ningyu's people are still watching you!"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan got up, put on his suit jacket, and walked towards the door.

Dao Yan stared blankly at Zhao Xuan's retreating figure, not uttering a word until he left.

She was well aware that Yu Du and Li Benchi were watching her, but recently she had to personally contact and make arrangements. Now it seemed that their suspicions about her had deepened considerably, otherwise Zhao Xuan wouldn't have told her that.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan's lips curled up slightly:
"Hmph, if you care about me, you should have accepted my defection sooner, honestly!"

After speaking softly, Dao Yan's mood soared again.

Although Dao Yan now understands that Zhao Xuan has been secretly helping her, it is also a fact that Zhao Xuan killed He Wanjun and Chen Manli. Just this fact alone makes Dao Yan's emotions very complicated when she thinks about facing Zhao Xuan.

"Sigh, let's finish the rest of the tasks first. If we do this task well, there might still be a chance to save him."

Now that Dao Ya doesn't need her to worry about things, Dao Yan just wants to complete more missions so that after the victory, she will have enough merit to protect Zhao Xuan. Even if Zhao Xuan spends his whole life in prison, at least he won't die.

"Li Mingzhu, I think I understand what you said at the end."

After leaving the Yangtze Hotel, Zhao Xuan, following Edith's instructions and the coordinates provided by the nanofly, went directly to the western side of the red-light district on Fuzhou Road.

Liu Manping was quite good at finding a place. Zhao Xuan stood at the front door of a house, and under dialysis mode, he had already figured out the situation inside.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a short while, Liu Manping cautiously walked over, gun in hand.
"Who?"

Standing at the doorway, Zhao Xuan stared blankly at the gate and said in a low voice:
"My family asked me to pass on a message to you: the rise and fall of a nation is a time for change."

Inside the door, Liu Manping trembled upon hearing this line of poetry, but she remained vigilant:
"For a thousand years, the pipa has played in a foreign language!"

After Liu Manping responded with a clear and crisp voice, Zhao Xuan spoke again:
"Situ's brilliant strategy is reflected in her red skirt."

The door creaked open, and Liu Manping's voice rang out at the same time:
"Don't sing the Song of Everlasting Regret of yesteryear!"

Upon seeing Zhao Xuan, Liu Manping was stunned. Zhao Xuan quickly stepped forward, covered Liu Manping's mouth, pushed her back into the yard, and closed the gate behind him.

"I believe you have also received orders from your superiors."

Tears welled in Liu Manping's eyes. She pushed Zhao Xuan away and stumbled backward, staring at him in disbelief. She tried to raise the gun in her hand, but after several attempts, she finally let it fall to the ground in despair. She seemed to have lost all her energy.
"How could it be you?"

"You can't be the cub!"

"Consort Yang, Wang Zhaojun, Xi Shi, do you know how much they admired you? Yet you are you, and you killed them with your own hands!"

After Liu Manping finished speaking in a low growl, she immediately wiped away her tears, suppressing all her emotions. She put away her gun, stood at attention, her eyes blazing with anger, but she still gritted her teeth and said:

"Diao Chan, leader of the Eternal Night Squad, reporting to her superior. Requesting further instructions!"

"Come with me to a place first."

Zhao Xuan shook his head, said what he meant, and turned to leave.

Liu Manping stared grimly at Zhao Xuan's retreating figure. After a moment's hesitation, she quickly followed. Military orders were paramount; she could hate Zhao Xuan for killing her sisters, but she couldn't ignore his words.

If she were to seek revenge, it would be after defeating the Japanese. If she were still alive at that time, she would not hesitate to shoot Zhao Xuan. Even if she were treated as a traitor, Liu Manping would not hesitate to avenge her sisters!

Sitting in Zhao Xuan's car, Liu Manping kept her head down until the car stopped, at which point she looked at Zhao Xuan in the driver's seat.

However, before Liu Manping could speak, Zhao Xuan got out of the car:

"Stop dawdling, keep up."

Liu Manping gritted her teeth, quickly got out of the car, and followed Zhao Xuan through several alleys before finally stopping in front of one of the houses.

Seeing Zhao Xuan step forward and open the door to go in, Liu Manping was puzzled, but she still hurriedly followed. After entering, she did not forget to lock the door from the inside.

Zhao Xuan entered the house first, allowing Edith to retrieve the nanobullets from Song Yuanyuan and Chen Manli's bodies.

As for the nano-headgear used to disguise Song Yuanyuan, it was already retrieved by Edith last night.

Liu Manping entered the room and immediately saw her three younger sisters lying on a bed.

"Sir, what is this?"

Zhao Xuan did not reply, but as soon as Liu Manping finished speaking, Song Yuanyuan and Chen Manli woke up without the nanobullets in their bodies.

"Where is this?"

Chen Manli, dressed in a light blue cheongsam, sat up and asked a question as if she were talking to herself.

Hearing the familiar voice, Song Yuanyuan groggily sat up.

Seeing that her two younger sisters were alright, Liu Manping was in turmoil and knew that she had misunderstood Zhao Xuan, but she still couldn't help but go forward to visit Song Yuanyuan and the others first.

"Sister, why are you here?"

As soon as Song Yuanyuan finished speaking, Chen Manli's eyes widened as she looked at He Wanjun, who was lying in the middle:
"Wan Jun!"

With a gasp, Chen Manli quickly checked He Wanjun's breathing and then leaned down to listen to her heartbeat.

"She's breathing, her heart is beating, Wanjun is alright!"

The three sisters were truly overjoyed and burst into tears. Even Liu Manping, who had held back her tears when she saw Zhao Xuan before, was now crying like a child.

However, Liu Manping remained rational and quickly reprimanded her two younger sisters:
"Yuanyuan, Manli, you two be careful not to touch Wanjun's wound."

He Wanjun, who shouldn't have woken up yet, heard a crying sound and slowly opened her eyes with a furrowed brow.

When He Wanjun saw her three older sisters gathered around her, her lips trembled, and she burst into tears.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, how did you all die?"

The three sisters were amused by He Wanjun's words.

As Liu Manping recounted her story, He Wanjun finally stopped crying and began to understand what was going on.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the coughing from behind, Chen Manli and Song Yuanyuan gently helped He Wanjun sit up against the headboard. Liu Manping quickly wiped away her tears, stood up to face Zhao Xuan, and said with great joy but also a sense of guilt and embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, sir. I made assumptions about your behavior before I knew the truth. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry!"

After speaking, Liu Manping bowed deeply to Zhao Xuan.

At this moment, Song Yuanyuan also bowed to Zhao Xuan along with Liu Manping. Although she didn't understand how Zhao Xuan had suddenly become their superior, her eldest sister had done so.

Chen Manli had initially thought so too, but after seeing Zhao Xuan clearly, she almost choked on her breath, pointing at him incredulously and saying:
"You! You! You! You! You were the one who shot me last night!"

"And you, you're that traitorous dog Zhao Xuan!"

After saying that, Chen Manli hurriedly touched and rubbed her body in confusion. Apart from two bullet holes in her clothes, she found that she was not in any pain at all.

"Don't you know about blank cartridges?"

Chen Manli scratched her head. Blank bullet?
A blank round can knock me unconscious for a whole night?!
Standing next to Chen Manli, Song Yuanyuan quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and looked apologetically at Zhao Xuan.

Although only her eldest sister understands what's going on, Song Yuanyuan is always calm and naturally knows that Zhao Xuan's presence here, especially since he brought her eldest sister along, and the fact that they didn't die, means that Zhao Xuan's identity as a traitor is definitely fake.

Furthermore, given that her eldest sister had just addressed Zhao Xuan as "commander," Song Yuanyuan didn't want her third sister to continue offending him.

He Wanjun, who was sitting against the headboard, looked at Zhao Xuan in disbelief. However, due to her injuries, she felt pain when she spoke, so she stared at Zhao Xuan without saying a word.

"Sit down first. If you have any questions, I'll answer them now. From now on, the Eternal Night Squad will follow my orders completely. Understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

A unified voice rang out, and even He Wanjun, enduring the pain from her wound, followed her sisters in responding.

Hearing their answers, Zhao Xuan felt somewhat gratified. It seemed that the four sisters had a great understanding, and he felt at ease having such a group under his command.

To ensure He Wanjun could hear clearly, Liu Manping and the other two moved the table to the front of the bed.

After the four people sat down, He Wanjun, her forehead beaded with cold sweat, spoke first in a weak voice:
"Sir, since you're also a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, why are you preventing us from getting that list?"

Song Yuanyuan has now figured it out. Last night, she inexplicably felt a pain in her back and fainted. It must have been Zhao Xuan's doing.

Chen Manli was the type who couldn't keep a secret, and her voice, as clear as a nightingale's, rang out:

"Yes, sir, you even led men to stop me from kidnapping Karl last night. That person was someone my sister had a hard time finding out; he's on that list. If we kidnapped Karl, we could find out who else is on the list through him. Why did you stop me last night?"

They even shot at me!
Of course, no matter how brave Chen Manli was, she kept these words to herself.

Zhao Xuan looked calmly at the four sisters:

"I have my reasons for doing things, Diaochan. Tell them the specifics."

Chen Manli's lips twitched. So, is there any difference between Zhao Xuan's explanation and no explanation at all?

Liu Manping smiled helplessly, looked around at the three sisters, and said:
"Last night, the higher-ups issued an order to place our Eternal Night Group under Young Tiger's command. From now on, all our operations will be under Young Tiger's unified command, and we will only obey Young Tiger's orders!"

"Yuanyuan, Manli, Wanjun, did you hear me clearly?"

Tiger cub!

Zhao Xuan, that traitorous dog—no, Zhao Xuan is actually a young tiger!
If Liu Manping hadn't said it herself, even if they were beaten to death, the three of them wouldn't have believed it.

You have to understand, Zhao Xuan has arrested so many people in the Military Intelligence Bureau since he joined No. 76. For someone like him to be called a "young tiger" is a joke that has really gone too far!

Chen Manli couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch her cheek. The pain made her gasp, and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"It's not a dream, big sister, I'm not dreaming, he really is a cub!"

Song Yuanyuan opened her rosy lips. Although she was indifferent and rarely smiled, and never showed her emotions on her face, she was still surprised at this moment.

Zhao Xuan, who was least likely to be one of her own, was not only one of her own, but also the top agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau whom she admired most, Young Tiger!

Indeed, to become an ace, one must reach a level that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

After the initial shock, Liu Manping's faint smile lingered. Song Yuanyuan, Chen Manli, and He Wanjun were also filled with anticipation for the future and longed to follow the young tiger on missions.

The usually calm Song Yuanyuan now longs to find a topic to have a good chat with Zhao Xuan and express her admiration for Zhao Xuan and the young tiger.

Chen Manli suppressed her excitement. If her older sister hadn't been sitting next to her, she would have rushed to Zhao Xuan's side to at least get an autograph!

"Alright, now you all understand. Now remember what I'm about to say. I'll only say it once."

The four nodded repeatedly, with Chen Manli nodding her head incessantly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"On the surface, apart from Diao Chan, the other three of you are all dead."

"Therefore, the Eternal Night Group is essentially defunct."

"Next, Diao Chan will also die. At that time, the Eternal Night Group will disappear completely, and you will all become ghosts of Eternal Night."

"And the Ghost Squad is a squad that only obeys my orders and only carries out the tasks I assign. Is there a problem with that?"

The four of them immediately shook their heads.

"Sir, no problem."

"That's right, all three of us are dead, there's no reason why our eldest sister shouldn't be dead!"

"Pfft, hehe... cough cough!"

He Wanjun was amused by Chen Manli, but the aggravation of her wound caused her to cough twice in pain.

Song Yuanyuan glared at Chen Manli.

Liu Manping rolled her eyes at Chen Manli. This girl was probably hoping for her death!

"I've taken over the task of disrupting the pufferfish conference. From now on, only Diaochan will participate in the operation. You two, Zhaojun, stay here to take care of the Imperial Concubine."

"Xi Shi, go home. I disguised you last night, so your identity wasn't exposed. From now on, the Ghost Team will rely on you to get around."

Chen Manli was immediately dissatisfied. She had finally gotten the chance to carry out a mission with the young tiger, but they didn't even get the chance to be bystanders.

Noticing Zhao Xuan's gaze, Chen Manli stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say a word.

Song Yuanyuan didn't care. She would carry out missions when there were missions, and do what her superiors said when there weren't.

She was like this when she was with her older sister.

However, Song Yuanyuan also felt a little regretful this time, as she couldn't go on her first mission with the young tiger.

However, when I think about how I will have great responsibilities in the future, and how I will be the only one who can go out, doesn't that mean I will have more opportunities to interact with the young tiger than my older sister and the others?

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Song Yuanyuan's lips.

"After this mission, Diao Chan will also die. At that time, Diao Chan will still serve as the leader of the Ghost Team. I will arrange your subsequent missions after the Consort's injuries have healed."

"Now, Diaochan will come with me, Xishi will go home, and Zhaojun will stay to take care of the Imperial Concubine."

After the assignments were completed, Zhao Xuan didn't linger and left with Liu Manping.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Liu Manping looked at Zhao Xuan, who was driving, and asked:

"Sir, how can I cooperate with you?"

Liu Manping knew that Zhao Xuan had a good relationship with Tu Feiyuan and would definitely be able to get close to the venue of the Fugu Conference.

The mission has now reached its final and most dangerous step. Liu Manping thought that Zhao Xuan brought her out so that she could contact the Shanghai station, Tequila, and others to launch a surprise attack on the venue together.

"Two days later, all the waiters, chefs, and even the hotel manager of the Cathay Hotel in the French Concession will be cleared out of the hotel and replaced by agents from the original organization."

"The intelligence and action departments of No. 76, along with the police from the French Concession, will be on guard around the perimeter."

"Your previous plan was to infiltrate the Cathay Hotel in advance, right?"

Although Liu Manping didn't know the plan at Shanghai Station, she figured this was the only way.

But now, after hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Liu Manping was filled with despair.

Unable to infiltrate the interior, and with people from the original agency, No. 76, and the police station already there, trying to break through from the outside is nothing short of wishful thinking.

"But sir, if this method doesn't work, how are we supposed to complete the mission that Shancheng assigned us?"

Zhao Xuan slammed on the brakes, pulled the car over to the side of the road, and said coldly:
"You seem to have forgotten something. Get out of the car. It's safe here now. Tonight at 5:30, find a place to keep watch at 27 Jessfield Road and assassinate me."

"Then you will officially join the Ghost Squad."

Liu Manping was also a smart woman. Zhao Xuan had just said that he had forgotten something, which was to tell her that she only needed to follow Zhao Xuan's orders and that she didn't need to worry about anything else.

Watching Zhao Xuan drive away, Liu Manping sighed with a bitter smile. She couldn't understand it at all.

How exactly will Zhao Xuan sabotage the pufferfish conference?

After hearing about the layout of the Huamao Hotel, Liu Manping couldn't think of any solutions.

The list, the list is unknown. The Cathay Hotel has become an impenetrable fortress, there is absolutely no chance.

It's impossible to tie up every Jew who enters the Cathay Hotel, is it?

Moreover, the Jewish attendees at the meeting did not know when they entered the Cathay Hotel. Kidnapping someone in full view of everyone would only alert them and was not a wise move.

It's unlikely that the people at Shanghai Station would make such a basic mistake.

Back at No. 76, Zhao Xuan had just entered his office when he saw Miao Xue hunched over her desk, writing and drawing.

Zhao Xuan walked over curiously:
What are you doing?

Miao Xue made no attempt to hide anything from Zhao Xuan. She glanced at the closed door and pointed to the intelligence she had laid out on the table, saying:

"Section Chief, they asked me to investigate the departure time of this train and its exact arrival time in Shanghai. I have carefully compared the train's situation over the past month, but I can't find any pattern at all."

Based on the information from Xia Gong's side, and after hearing Miao Xue's words, Zhao Xuan understood what Miao Xue was investigating.

This train was carrying poison gas bombs from Harbin to Shanghai.

Of course, this was just information given to Zhou Hao by Tu Feiyuan, and Zhao Xuan didn't know for the time being whether it was true.

"Do you need my help?"

Miao Xue looked at Zhao Xuan and smiled somewhat shyly:
"Is this okay?"

As soon as Miao Xue finished speaking, Zhao Xuan carefully looked at the schedule of trains entering and leaving stations along the train lines that Miao Xue had compiled.

Finding out the train's departure and arrival times in Shanghai was naturally for the purpose of intercepting and destroying the poison gas bombs en route.

The underground Communist Party would never allow these things to enter Shanghai.

Seeing this, Miao Xue quickly got up and led Zhao Xuan to her seat. Then, Miao Xue went to make tea for Zhao Xuan.

"Xiaoxue, you've only compiled information on this train for the past month?"

Miao Xue, who was making tea, turned to look at Zhao Xuan:
"No, those three large stacks on the table contain not only the schedules for train 56 for the past six months, but also the entry and exit forms for other trains. It's just that there's too much data, so I can only analyze the situation for train 56 for the past month."

Zhao Xuan nodded and didn't say anything more.

(Edith, scan all the train forms on the table, perform big data scraping, and then list them out separately according to the data I need.)
(Yes, sir!)

Soon, Miao Xue had finished analyzing the intelligence she had singled out, but she couldn't find any useful information at all.

As Edith's big data was collected, Zhao Xuan pondered for a moment and directly released all the schedules of train number 56. Then, the schedule patterns of the remaining trains were presented to Zhao Xuan.

With the train schedule patterns, all that was needed was to find the fluctuating parts of the patterns and then overlay the schedule information of train 56 onto it. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xuan found the only time period in the near future when train 56 would not conflict with the entry and exit times of other trains!
Such large-scale, big data calculations would take at least ten days to half a month to complete if done manually.

If it were up to one person to calculate, it would probably take three to five months to figure it out.

With Edith's help, Zhao Xuan figured out in less than ten minutes the exact time that train No. 56 would stop at each station after departing from Harbin, excluding any unforeseen circumstances, as well as its exact arrival time in Shanghai.

Miao Xue stood to the side, watching Zhao Xuan get up, and asked with a puzzled look:

"Section Chief, is this too difficult? I'm just giving it a try. When I saw so many forms, I knew it was impossible to figure this out."

As soon as Miao Xue finished speaking, Zhao Xuan pressed her shoulder and made her sit down in a chair:

"I said, you write."

Miao Xue was startled. What the section chief meant was that he had figured it out!
Seeing Miao Xue looking up at him with unblinking eyes, Zhao Xuan smiled and said:

"It's not too difficult, just write it as I say."
