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

Chapter 215 Becoming King
"At 1:00 PM tomorrow, train number 56 will depart from Harbin, along the route..."

Miao Xue quickly filled half a page with her writing, while Zhao Xuan, after finishing his sentence, returned to his desk to drink tea.

Although it was hard to believe that the section chief had analyzed the detailed list of train No. 56 in less than ten minutes, the facts were right in front of him.

As for the verification, Miao Xue said that she did not even know the process, so how could she verify it?

Even with the answer and the sub-answers for each node, Miao Xue still had no clue how to verify it.

Miao Xue inwardly praised the information, but out of trust in Zhao Xuan, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After carefully folding the paper and hiding it close to her body, Miao Xue looked towards Zhao Xuan with bright eyes.

At noon, Zhao Xuan got up to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Miao Xue was about to help Zhao Xuan carry his lunchbox when the office door was pushed open, and Dao Yan walked in carrying the lunchbox.

"I asked Aunt Li to bring lunch over."

Just as she entered, Dao Yan's voice rang out. Seeing Miao Xue's actions, Dao Yan smiled and continued:

"Secretary Miao, your section chief will be having dinner with me here today. You can go ahead and eat by yourself."

Miao Xue said "Oh," nodded somewhat awkwardly, and ran off with her lunchbox.

Zhao Xuan draped the coat he had only half-put on back over the chair, smiling as he looked at Dao Yan:
"Why did you suddenly decide to have Aunt Li bring your lunch over today?"

Dao Yan pursed her lips, pulled up a chair to Zhao Xuan's desk, and said while opening her lunchbox:
"You worked so hard last night, let me give you something to eat."

Zhao Xuan's lips twitched. He suspected that Dao Yan was retaliating against him, but he had no evidence.

Given what happened last night, even if someone had to make up for it, it would have been Dao Yan who did it; Zhao Xuan almost couldn't handle it.

After the two sat down, Dao Yan first pushed a bowl of soup in front of Zhao Xuan, and then began to serve rice.

Throughout the meal, Zhao Xuan kept observing Dao Yan's expression, his analytical mind working seamlessly.

"What, you have no appetite for food with me? What's the point of eating every single grain of rice?"

Dao Yan put down her chopsticks, looked at Zhao Xuan who had asked the question, then glanced at the tightly closed office door before lowering her voice and saying:
"My mission has been cancelled! Not only me, but even my teacher can no longer carry out that mission."

"Ah Xuan, could you take me to the pufferfish conference at the Cathay Hotel in the French Concession in two days?"

Zhao Xuan quickly finished the rice in his bowl, put it down, and got up to leave.
"Don't even think about it. I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it first. You can clean up after you finish eating."

Watching Zhao Xuan leave, Dao Yan almost slammed her hand on the desk, gritting her teeth and snorting:

"You bastard! Just you wait!"

After finishing her rant, Dao Yan leisurely resumed eating.

According to the information Tequila gave her, Young Tiger replaced Chen Chuyin in his place. After taking over the mission, Young Tiger directly eliminated all the people who had previously carried out the mission.

Although we don't know why Young Tiger did this, nor do we know if Young Tiger needs these people to carry out the mission, or if he has enough manpower?
But Dao Yan still thought about going to the scene that day, just in case she could help the young tiger.

But who would have thought that Zhao Xuan, who showered me with sweet words last night, would turn on me like this today!
It seems she can't get in through Zhao Xuan. She'll have to talk to Xiao Ya when she gets home tonight. It's time for Xiao Ya to take her to meet with Youhu.

Perfect timing! Tell Youhu about exposing herself to Zhao Xuan, and see if the legendary Youhu has a better way to handle this than she does.
Dao Yan herself sometimes couldn't understand why she had already exposed herself in front of Zhao Xuan.

But she just didn't want to report to her superiors, and she didn't even tell Zhu Zhili. Perhaps deep down, Dao Yan didn't think Zhao Xuan would betray her.

As for asking Young Tiger, I'll tell him a story, like, "I have a friend!"
Then, they extracted an effective method from the tiger cub's mouth.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan inexplicably smiled.

Perhaps the young tiger can help me win Zhao Xuan over more quickly!
Dao Yan's emotions came and went quickly; she had just been laughing for no reason, but now her face was sullen.

No, Zhao Xuan cannot be turned to the enemy for the time being. Even if he is turned, the situation cannot be reported.

After all, she hasn't accumulated enough merit yet, so she probably can't save Zhao Xuan from death.

As for Dao Yan's suspicion that Zhao Xuan was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau?

After Zhao Xuan shot and killed He Wanjun, and later killed Chen Manli and another member of Yongye, Dao Yan had given up all hope.

He wasn't even a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, so how could Zhao Xuan possibly be a young tiger?

With a soft sigh, Dao Yan instantly lost her appetite. After carefully tidying up the tableware, Dao Yan stood there for a while, staring at Zhao Xuan's desk, before leaving.

On the other side, Miao Xue leisurely went to the infirmary after finishing her meal in the cafeteria.

Yang Huamei, who was having lunch in her office, had her eyes light up when she saw Miao Xue arrive.

"Dr. Yang, I've come to get some medicine. I've been having trouble sleeping lately."

Yang Huamei was overjoyed upon hearing this.

If she hadn't slept with Miao Xue last night, she would have thought Miao Xue's reason was pretty good. But after experiencing Miao Xue's ability to fall asleep in a second, Yang Huamei found Miao Xue's reason to be hilarious.

"Really? Okay, Secretary Miao, please wait a moment. I'll get the medicine for you after I finish eating."

Miao Xue nodded, placed the origami she had hidden close to her body on Yang Huamei's desk, and then turned to leave.

"Have someone deliver this to the intelligence section. I have to go now."

Yang Huamei quickly tucked the origami away, glaring at Miao Xue with annoyance. She'd only ever seen Miao Xue so brazenly leave intelligence on her desk.

Is it really true that after Ding Moqun went to Nanjing, everyone started to let loose?
Around 1 p.m., Yang Huamei arrived at Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road.

At the counter, Yang Huamei looked at the kind-faced Sun Jianzhong and said:
"Boss, has the latest issue of the monthly movie report arrived yet?"

As she spoke, Yang Huamei picked up a book and started flipping through it.

Sun Jianzhong shook his head with a gentle smile:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yang, this journal won't arrive until next week. Could you please see if there's anything else that interests you? If not, I'll have someone deliver it to your workplace once the journal arrives."

Yang Huamei put down her book, nodded, and smiled:

"Then I'll leave it to you, boss. I'm not really interested in anything else, so I'll be going now."

Sun Jianzhong quickly put the books Yang Huamei had touched back into the counter and watched her leave.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xuan, who had fled from Dao Yan, had arrived at Saint Lan Cafe, three blocks away from No. 76.

"Brother-in-law, over here!"

Wearing a long black dress and a knitted hat, Dao Ya waved to Zhao Xuan as he entered.

"Does Ayan know you're coming?"

Looking at Zhao Xuan sitting opposite her, Dao Ya replied with a smile:

"How can I let my sister know about my grand money-making plan?"

“Brother-in-law, I’ve already set up the team. I’ve already notified my friends in Hong Kong to purchase the necessary equipment and materials and have them shipped over.”

"However, the equipment needed for the fermentation technology still needs improvement. Right now, all I need is the technology you have, brother-in-law. When are you going to give it to me?"

Zhao Xuan picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and smiled at Dao Ya, saying:
"You got it done pretty quickly. Don't worry, I'll give it to you once this mission is over."

Dao Ya clenched her little fists upon hearing this:

"Then it's settled. But brother-in-law, it seems like Xiao Ai is being watched lately. I checked on Xiao Ai yesterday and found that the person watching her is likely from the Special Higher Police."

Zhao Xuan was completely confused by what Dao Ya said:

"Isn't Sato Ai the younger sister of Sato Kei and Sato He? How dare the Special Higher Police target her?"

"Besides, do the Special Higher Police have time to deal with you now?"

Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan with a serious expression:

"Brother-in-law, be serious, I'm talking to you about something important."

"The main problem is that Xiao Ai recently acquired a batch of penicillin, and it seems that the news leaked. Ando from the Quartermaster Department has already warned Xiao Ai, and we dealt with the shipment immediately. However, Xiao Ai is still being targeted. I don't know if it's the Special Higher Police, but I followed her for a while, and the people following Xiao Ai always disappeared in the Hongkou Shanyin Road area."

Zhao Xuan stirred his coffee, his brows furrowed as he fell into thought.

Hongkou, Shanyin Road?

This road used to be where Shanghai Metro Station was located. Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Ya and asked:
"Where exactly did you lose track of them?"

No. 18, Shanyin Road!

No. 18 Shanyin Road, that used to be the location of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station. Looks like I'll have to go check out Shanyin Road today.

After the Military Intelligence Bureau moved out, who took over the place?

After instructing Dao Ya to be careful, Zhao Xuan returned to No. 76.

The former government office on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

After handing a completed letter to Kawashima Ichiro, Doi-Yuan remembered the important matter he had previously decided and asked with some worry:

"Kawashima, send this letter as soon as possible."

"Also, is there any guarantee that there won't be any problems with train number 56 departing from Harbin at 1 PM tomorrow?"

Kawashima Ichiro replied solemnly:

"Sir, please rest assured. For the past two weeks, the train station in Harbin has been under complete martial law by the Kwantung Army. The Chinese cannot get close there, and they have no way of knowing when train number 56 will depart."

"That shipment will definitely arrive safely."

After listening, Tu Feiyuan thought about it carefully for a while and also felt that it was foolproof.

Although the intelligence that Zhou He had previously used to gain the trust of the Red Party was true, Tu Feiyuan was also confident that even if the Red Party knew that they were going to use train No. 56 to transport that batch of poison gas bombs, they couldn't possibly know when they would transport them.

Moreover, the train made three stops along the way, and military police were stationed at those three stations half a month in advance.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if the Communist Party could still know when they were transporting poison gas.

"Alright, Kawashima, give the order: once the goods arrive, there's no need to go into Shanghai; unload them directly and deliver them to Matsui."

It's better to be safe than sorry. If poison gas were to enter Shanghai and leak accidentally, given the city's dense population, it would be an unprecedented disaster.

Although Doiyu doesn't care about the lives of Chinese people, Shanghai is now just as important as Tokyo. If Shanghai were destroyed, the heads of Shanghai's intelligence agencies could all commit seppuku before the Emperor to apologize.

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will pass on the instructions. Also, Michiko sent a telegram saying that the negotiations have encountered obstacles. Kagesa does not agree to share the spoils with us, and Michiko is also sticking to her guns. I estimate that this negotiation will not yield any results in the short term."

"Furthermore, since the Luo Wang plan was aborted before it could be implemented, Wang Da and Zhou Lifu are now detaining and interrogating Ding Moqun, Wang Ningyu, and others separately. If we can get the truth out of Ding Moqun, then the negotiations will be of great benefit to us."

Tu Feiyuan gave a cold laugh:
"Kagesa has too big an appetite, isn't he afraid of bursting his stomach?"

“We’ve all joined the Net Project, how can we let him have a monopoly?”

"Tell Michiko to try her best. If Kagesa doesn't know what's good for her, then I'll have to report to the Cabinet. In that case, it won't be my former organization and Kagesa who get to share this piece of the pie."

"As for Ding Moqun, if you want to get anything out of him, Zhou Lifu won't work, and neither will Wang Da."

"Besides, with Yingzuo around, Wang Da and Zhou Lifu wouldn't dare to really go all out against Ding Moqun. Let's just wait and see if Yingzuo gets anxious after the Fugu Conference ends."

Around 2 p.m. in the Red Party base area, Gao Xiaojuan, the director of the telegraph office, hurriedly arrived at the small courtyard where Xia Gong lived.

When Xia Gong, who was lecturing Liu Qinghuan, saw Gao Xiaojuan arrive, he quickly waved and asked Gao Wanyou, the guard at the gate, to lead her to the stone table in the courtyard.

"Lord Xia, urgent telegram from Shanghai."

Liu Qinghuan has now become a confidant of Xia Gong, so Gao Xiaojuan didn't hold back and continued speaking after Xia Gong looked over:
"Comrade Lidong has confirmed that train No. 56 will depart from Harbin at 1 p.m. tomorrow, and it is very likely that this train is carrying poison gas bombs."

"Furthermore, the authorities at the beginning of winter have confirmed the stopping times and stations along the route for train No. 56."

Xia Gong took the translated telegram from Liu Qinghuan and said as he read it:

"So specific. It seems we still underestimated Comrade Lidong's abilities."

"Very good, very good, Comrade Lidong has made a great contribution this time!"

Liu Qinghuan then happily said:
"If we can intercept the train and confirm that it carries poison gas, then wouldn't it clear Comrade Zhou Hao of suspicion?"

Everyone present knew the magnitude of the disaster that would result from the re-entry of poison gas bombs into the Central China theater.

If the Winter Solstice has made a great contribution, then Zhou Hao deserves the most credit.

After all, without the intelligence he brought, they would have had no way of knowing that train No. 56 would be transporting poison gas bombs to Central China in the near future, let alone intercepting it.

Xia Gong knew that this matter could not be accomplished by the Red Party alone.

We must join forces with the Kuomintang military to achieve this.

As for Zhou Hao's problem, ever since Zhao Xuan revealed his identity, Xia Gong has never trusted him.

In Xia Gong's view, none of the people who revitalized the flag society were trustworthy.

These lackeys of the old era, aside from any desire for restoration, should not be expected to have any patriotic sentiments.

"We'll discuss Zhou Hao's issue later. Xiao Gao, come with me to the command post."

After saying this, Xia Gong took the telegram and left with Gao Wanyou.

Gao Xiaojuan smiled, sat down next to Liu Qinghuan, and said:

"Xiao Liu, do you really think Zhou Hao is alright?"

Liu Qinghuan shook her head with a wry smile:

"I don't know either. Ever since Zhou Hao came to the base, I've been in charge of contacting and screening him. From any perspective, Zhou Hao is fine, unless his fiancée conspired with him to deceive me."

"But that's impossible."

Liu Qinghuan didn't really see Zhou Hao clearly, but Zhou Hao's fiancée, Huang Qian, was just a young girl with no guile. If someone like that could deceive people, then Liu Qinghuan's years of undercover work would have been for nothing.

Therefore, in Liu Qinghuan's view, there should be no problem with Zhou Hao's identity. As for why Xia Gong had always been suspicious of Zhou Hao, Liu Qinghuan had no idea.

Time: 5 PM, No. 76, Jisifeier Road, Shanghai.

Just as it was time, Zhao Xuan put on his coat and left the office.

In the courtyard, Zhao Xuan had just walked towards his Buick sedan when the Cadillac parked next to him honked its horn.

Dao Yan leaned out of the car window and looked at Zhao Xuan, saying in an annoyed tone:

"You used to leave work early, why are you only coming down on time today?"

Zhao Xuan put away the car keys, got into the passenger seat of the Cadillac, and said after closing the door:

"At least we're temporarily managing No. 76 now. Even I, the leader, am leaving get off work early. What if everyone follows suit? Look, you've already learned it."

Dao Yan rolled her eyes, slapped Zhao Xuan on the shoulder, and then started the car.

"Are you really not taking me the day after tomorrow?"

"You really can't bring him. Don't think I don't know what you're going to do there. Let me tell you, the day after tomorrow, everyone inside the Hua Mao Hotel will be replaced by the original staff. If you try to make a move under those circumstances, you'll be exposed. Don't get me in trouble. I won't report you or arrest you, but you're always trying to trick me. Can't you give me a break?"

Dao Yan pursed her lips, but she was actually quite at ease knowing that it was Young Tiger who was going to carry out this mission.

Since Zhao Xuan wasn't taking her along, she wanted to see what kind of face he would have after the young tiger's operation succeeded.

Thinking of this, Dao Yan couldn't wait for the day after tomorrow to arrive, eager to see Zhao Xuan's lifeless expression.

The pufferfish meeting is now entirely in the hands of Touyuu and Zhao Xuan. Touyuu probably worried that he couldn't handle it alone, so he brought Zhao Xuan in to share the responsibility.

If the pufferfish conference is disrupted, both Doiyuu and Zhao Xuan will be held responsible, and Zhao Xuan's acting directorship might be over.

About ten minutes later, Dao Yan had already driven the car into the front yard of Apartment No. 27.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Xuan looked around but couldn't find Liu Manping. Just as he was about to activate the scanning and dialysis modes, Dao Yan had already taken Zhao Xuan's arm and led him to their front door.

"Hmm? Xiaoya is getting more and more outrageous; she didn't even close the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Yan and Zhao Xuan stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other and saw anxiety in each other's eyes.

The two men, their faces grave, drew their guns. Zhao Xuan raised his hand and pressed down on the gun in Dao Yan's hand, saying in a low voice:
"Don't be nervous, Xiaoya is so smart, she'll be fine. She probably just forgot to close the door."

Dao Yan nodded solemnly. At that moment, Zhao Xuan had already seen through dialysis mode that Liu Manping had tied up Dao Ya and Li Ma, who had come to cook, in the living room of the house.

However, apart from Dao Ya, Li Ma is currently in a coma.

(Edith, has it been changed?)

(Rest assured, sir, the first three bullets in the Blade Face Gun have been replaced with nano-bullets, and the bullets in your gun have also been replaced.)
After ensuring everything was alright, Zhao Xuan gave Dao Yan a hand gesture. Dao Yan nodded and quickly bent down and ran to the side, while Zhao Xuan pushed open the door and went inside.

In the living room, Liu Manping couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing Zhao Xuan enter, she reacted with extreme resentment, grabbing Dao Ya and pressing a gun against her head as she spoke to Zhao Xuan who was walking towards them:
"stop!"

Zhao Xuan was quite impressed with Liu Manping's ability to sneak into his home.

After all, the area around Jessfield Road is frequented by the 76th Division's field operations teams and intelligence groups, and military police also patrol there from time to time.

It's safe to say that if you make a move here and cause any disturbance, you'll be surrounded in no time, and then you won't be able to escape.

Especially at night, there are the most checkpoints on Jessfield Road. This is why almost all the high-ranking officers of No. 76 lived in apartments along Jessfield Road without fear of being assassinated by the Military Intelligence Bureau or the underground party.

Whether or not the target can be killed is another matter, but once the action is taken, the chance of escape is extremely slim.

Especially considering the incident at Ding Moqun's apartment, there are even more sentries here now. The fact that Liu Manping was able to sneak in speaks volumes about her abilities.

Daoya is now unsure how to express her emotions.

From the moment Liu Manping caught her, Dao Ya didn't panic at all; she just felt that she was too incompetent and that anyone could catch her.

After this is over, I must ask my brother-in-law to give her some proper training so that she can at least protect herself.

As for Liu Manping's identity, Dao Ya found out from Liu Manping within minutes of being captured.

Knowing that Liu Manping was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Dao Ya became even less flustered.

In my extended family, apart from my uncle who was a traitor, my sister and brother-in-law were both members of the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau.

My brother-in-law is also a legendary Kuomintang agent, nicknamed "Young Tiger".

Given such a powerful background, how could Dao Ya be afraid of Liu Manping?
Most importantly, Dao Ya did not detect the slightest bit of killing intent from Liu Manping.

Based on her micro-expression analysis, Dao Ya even suspected that Liu Manping came here today to put on a show.

Now that her brother-in-law is back, Dao Ya wants to verify whether her guess was right, so she's getting ready to watch the drama unfold!

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about me, just kill her for me! Even if I die, I won't let her use me to threaten you!"

Liu Manping glanced at Dao Ya and felt that this girl seemed to have seen through everything. Otherwise, she was just too reckless and not even afraid of death.

Zhao Xuan knew Dao Ya extremely well. Besides, with dialysis mode activated, although Dao Ya had a lot of thoughts that gave Zhao Xuan a headache, he also grasped the key point: this brat had guessed that Liu Manping's performance today was just an act.

Dao Ya, always eager to stir up trouble, completely transformed into a drama queen, adding extra scenes for herself, making Zhao Xuan's teeth ache.

At this moment, Dao Yan had already climbed in through the window from the backyard. From her current position, she could see Liu Manping's back as she pointed a gun at Dao Ya's head.

Upon hearing Dao Ya's words, Dao Yan nearly died of anxiety. When did her younger sister become so fierce?
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Dao Yan raised her gun and aimed it at Liu Manping's back, near her chest. She then gave Zhao Xuan several meaningful glances, signaling him to distract the enemy.

“Little girl, if you dare say another word, I’ll shoot.”

"Stop right there, take another step and this girl's head will be blown to bits."

Zhao Xuan stopped and looked at Liu Manping with a half-smile:
"Don't punish family members. It seems you're here for me. Release Xiaoya, and I might spare your life. Pretend you were never here, and I've never even seen you. How about that?"

Liu Manping chuckled:
“You killed my three sisters, and now you’re telling me to spare my life? Even if I die today, I will avenge them.”

Dao Ya's heart skipped a beat. Listening to Liu Manping's tone, Dao Ya was certain that what Liu Manping said seemed to be true, and her hatred seemed to be real as well. Could it be that she had gone too far?

Dao Yan, who was pointing a gun at Liu Manping's back, trembled upon hearing this, and the more she looked at the back, the more familiar it seemed.

Liu Manping!
The moment the name popped into Dao Yan's mind, she knew that things wouldn't end well today.

Furthermore, with Dao Ya in Liu Manping's hands, Dao Yan was caught in a dilemma. She wanted to call out to her, but she was afraid that calling out Liu Manping's name would distract her.

Dao Yan was well aware of Zhao Xuan's marksmanship; in a battle between masters, every second counts.

If she distracted Liu Manping because of her own actions, and Zhao Xuan seized the opportunity to kill her with a single shot, Dao Yan dared not think any further.

But the biggest problem now is that Xiaoya is in Liu Manping's hands.

"Don't be impulsive. I don't know who these three younger sisters you mentioned are, but I can tell you for sure that if you dare to touch Xiaoya today, you will definitely not leave alive."

"You wouldn't want to be beaten to death for killing someone you don't know, would you? If I'm still alive while you're gone, how will I face your sisters?"

Liu Manping stared at Zhao Xuan with a gloomy expression:

"Put down the gun in your hand. I'll only count to three. If you don't put it down, I'll shoot! Anyway, I never intended to leave here alive. Killing one person is enough, and revenge would be even better!"

Dao Ya is now panicking. Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Seeing Zhao Xuan lower his gun, Dao Ya panicked. Zhao Xuan raised his hands and continued:

"No need to count, I've already put the gun down."

Liu Manping sneered and quickly raised her gun, aiming it at Zhao Xuan.
"Die!"

Upon hearing this sound, Dao Yan disregarded everything else and hurriedly shouted:
"Manping!!!"

Hearing the shout, Liu Manping turned around in surprise, which was of course intentional on her part.

Before coming here, Liu Manping had already investigated and found out that this was Ding Moqun's home, and that Zhao Xuan had married Ding Moqun's niece.

Ding Moqun's niece is Dao Yan.

Although Liu Manping did not know Dao Yan's identity or whether Dao Yan had already betrayed them, in Liu Manping's mind, Dao Yan could not possibly betray the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Furthermore, Zhao Xuan actually married Dao Yan.

When Liu Manping learned this, only God knows how shocked she was.

While waiting for the couple to return, Liu Manping even wondered if Dao Yan knew that her husband was Youhu.

Now it seems like I didn't know!
In the instant she turned around, Liu Manping thought of many things, while Zhao Xuan took the opportunity to perform a tactical roll forward, pick up the gun, and fire in one smooth motion.

Dao Ya and Zhao Xuan cooperated very well. The moment Zhao Xuan made his move, Dao Ya suddenly shoved Liu Manping aside, ducked down, and a gunshot rang out.

As Dao Ya collapsed to the ground, she saw Zhao Xuan fire the gun and felt her head buzzing. This wasn't acting!

My brother-in-law killed the Kuomintang agents!
Dao Ya stared wide-eyed at Zhao Xuan as he slowly got up, her eyes wide with disbelief. Behind her came the sound of Liu Manping falling to the ground, and the sound of Dao Yan running quickly towards them.

When Dao Ya came to her senses, Zhao Xuan had already reached her side and helped her up, while Dao Yan knelt in front of Liu Manping's body, staring blankly at her old classmate who had died.

"Xiaoya, are you alright? Did I scare you?"

Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan with a puzzled expression and shook her head. Dao Yan, kneeling in front of Liu Manping's body, had extremely complicated feelings at this moment.

If I hadn't shouted that, Liu Manping might not have died.

But Zhao Xuan will definitely die.

Dao Yan smiled bitterly, repeatedly asking herself if she would still call out Liu Manping's name if she had to do it all over again.
But Dao Yan discovered that she couldn't find a definite answer.

After confirming that Dao Ya was alright, Zhao Xuan hurried over and helped Dao Yan up, because Li Ma, who had been unconscious, had now woken up.

"Sir, Madam, someone has taken us hostage."

Before Li Ma could finish speaking, she saw that Dao Ya was alright, but she looked like she was still in shock, standing there in a daze.

Upon seeing the corpse on the ground, Li Ma screamed in terror.

Zhao Xuan turned his head to look and said with a smile:

"Li Ma, everything is alright now. We don't need to cook dinner tonight, but we'll have to wait a little longer."

Li Ma nodded repeatedly. Looking at Liu Manping, who had been shot and died, Li Ma was still shaken. She remembered how Liu Manping had pointed a gun at her head as soon as she entered the room, and she was still terrified.

The gunshots from apartment number 27 quickly attracted the attention of nearby secret agents.

After learning the situation from Dao Ya and Li Ma, the leading agents and military police left after Kawashima Ichiro from the original organization hurriedly arrived.

In the apartment lobby, Kawashima Ichiro looked at Zhao Xuan with deep concern:

"Zhao Sang, the identities of these people have been investigated. They were four members of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Eternal Night Group, codenamed as the Four Beauties of the Dragon Kingdom. And all four of them are now dead at Zhao Sang's hands."

"This is unexpected. Yongye only has this woman left. She actually dared to provoke Zhao Sang. Now that she's dead, everything is fine. Zhao Sang is safe for now."

Zhao Xuan chuckled, looking at Kawashima Ichiro who was making sarcastic remarks:
"Kawashima-kun, I'm starting to regret cooperating with the former organization."

Kawashima Ichiro gave an awkward smile and quickly said:

"Zhao Sang, I'm telling the truth. The Eternal Night Group was wiped out by Zhao Sang. I will definitely report this to the Chief of the Agency and have him report Zhao Sang's achievements to the Cabinet. The benefits will be huge!"

"Zhao Sang has no idea how many political figures who care about the empire have been assassinated by the Eternal Night Group since they started their infiltration in Shanghai. Now that the four Eternal Night Witches have all died at Zhao Sang's hands, the cabinet will definitely reward Zhao Sang greatly when they find out."

Zhao Xuan laughed upon hearing this:

"Then I thank Mr. Kawashima for his kind words."

Soon, Miao Xue arrived at the apartment and saw a female Kuomintang agent "dead" there. Miao Xue sighed and looked at Zhao Xuan, asking:
"Section Chief, since they're in the same group, I'll just put them together."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan looked at Kawashima Ichiro:
"Kawashima-kun, we'll leave the body to Secretary Miao. I also need to see Doi-man, so I might as well take my family out for a meal. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Welcome, Mr. Zhao, please! Secretary Miao, thank you for your help."

Miao Xue chuckled, stepped forward, grabbed Liu Manping's leg, and dragged her outside.

Seeing Miao Xue's rudeness, Kawashima Ichiro exclaimed twice, while Dao Yan, who was lagging behind, stared at Miao Xue's back with burning anger in his eyes.

Dao Yan, who was about to chase after them, was stopped by Zhao Xuan, who chatted with Kawashima and led Dao Ya into the courtyard.

"Kawashima-kun, my family and I will drive over there. See you at the original headquarters."

"Alright, see you at the original office, Zhao Sang."

After Kawashima Ichiro drove away, Dao Yan looked at Zhao Xuan pleadingly. Zhao Xuan sighed, took Dao Yan's hand, and walked to Miao Xue's car.

"Section Chief, is there anything else?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"It's nothing. I just came to tell you that after you're done, wait for me at No. 76."

While Zhao Xuan was chatting with Miao Xue, Dao Yan stood by the back window of the car, her face expressionless, but with a sorrowful look in her eyes, giving Liu Manping one last look.

After Miao Xue left, Zhao Xuan drove Dao Yan and Dao Ya back to the original location.

The sushi restaurant has reopened. On the way to the original agency, Dao Yan, who was sitting in the back seat with Dao Ya, was in a low mood. Dao Ya was also looking at Zhao Xuan, who was driving, with a lot of questions on her face.

Dao Ya was certain that Liu Manping stopped breathing soon after being shot, and that the bullet had hit Liu Manping squarely in the chest, so she was definitely dead.

But isn't my brother-in-law a tiger cub?!
Why kill Liu Manping?!
Or was it that the brother-in-law killed Liu Manping because he was in danger himself?

If that's the case, wouldn't I be indirectly causing her death?

Furthermore, given the circumstances at the time, if her brother-in-law had revealed the truth, and everyone in the room except for Li Ma was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, then Liu Manping wouldn't have had to die.

Dao Ya felt a pang of sadness, especially after confirming that her sister knew Liu Manping. Dao Ya knew that her sister must be feeling even worse than she was.

Along the way, Dao Ya really wanted to ask her brother-in-law why he did that!

In the end, Daoya did not speak.

Upon arriving at the sushi restaurant, Zhao Xuan let Dao Yan and Dao Ya eat there, while he went into the original mechanism to meet Tu Feiyuan.

Zhao Xuan had to tell Tu Feiyuan about Liu Manping's situation, and from that moment on, the Eternal Night Group was completely wiped out.

Next, the ghost was born.

The Dao Yan sisters were brought by Zhao Xuan, so the sushi restaurant owner naturally brought out the best ingredients to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the two sisters.

Inside the original high-rise building, this time Tu Feiyuan did not take Zhao Xuan to the top floor, but met him in a cubicle on the first floor.

When Zhao Xuan arrived, Tu Feiyuan had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, but in Zhao Xuan's opinion, very few of these Japanese dishes were actually delicious.

It doesn't matter, as long as I have enough to eat.

Sipping sake and eating seafood, Zhao Xuan, after being half full, looked at the chubby man smiling at him and said:

"It seems that I'm not the only one who needs to talk to you tonight; it seems that Doi-Yuan-kun also has something he wants to tell me."

Tufei Yuan nodded with a smile:
"Zhao Sang, I've received intelligence that the Military Intelligence Bureau has decided to entrust the task of disrupting the pufferfish conference the day after tomorrow to Young Tiger."

"To be honest, Zhao Sang, if anyone else from the Military Intelligence Bureau were to carry out this mission, I wouldn't take them seriously. But this Young Tiger is too strange. From the moment this code name became known in the intelligence community until now, Young Tiger has never failed a single mission."

"So, Zhao Sang, our opponent this time is Young Tiger, which is a bit difficult."

Zhao Xuan smiled, raised his glass to clink with Tu Feiyuan's, downed it in one gulp, then smacked his lips and said:
"Tufeiyuan-kun, didn't some people suspect before that Young Tigers was actually a group, attributing the achievements of a group to one person to put pressure on us and create the legend of Young Tigers?"

"Whether the young tigers are an individual or a group, they can never escape the realm of humanity. As humans, they have their limits."

"We've discussed the layout of the Chinachem Hotel many times, and we've considered every detail. Under these circumstances, do you think it's still possible for Young Tiger to infiltrate?"

Tu Feiyuan nodded thoughtfully, and Zhao Xuan continued:
"And Don't forget, Mr. Doi-Yuan, all we need to do is ensure the successful conclusion of the Fugu Conference. As for what happens after the conference, the money and supplies will be in your hands. What the Military Intelligence Bureau does to deal with those Jews is still within our consideration."

"Perhaps when that time comes, we can also have the Jews hire our men as bodyguards. Our brothers can't work for nothing; who knows, we might make a fortune then."

Tu Feiyuan burst into laughter:
“Zhao Sang, you really are a business genius. That’s right, all we need to do is ensure the pufferfish conference goes smoothly. After that, whatever storms come our way, it’s none of our business.”

After saying that, Doi-Yuan changed the subject:

"Zhao Sang, I heard from Kawashima that the members of the Eternal Night Group all died at your hands?!"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"I don't know about that. After all, I only learned about the existence of the Eternal Night Group of the Military Intelligence Bureau today. As for whether all the people in the Eternal Night Group died at my hands, I don't admit it."

Tu Feiyuan pointed at Zhao Xuan and burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! Zhao Sang, as expected of you. Fine, since you won't admit it, then tomorrow's newspaper will publish it as such: The Military Intelligence Bureau's Eternal Night Group attempted to disrupt the peace and stability of Shanghai and has been eliminated by my original agency and 76."

Seeing Zhao Xuan nod, the ferocious smile on Tu Feiyuan's face softened.

Doiyoshi naturally wanted a share of the credit for eliminating Eternal Night; it was political capital.

Once he gets the money from the Jews, Doiyu will have accumulated enough political and economic capital. Then he can submit a written report to the cabinet to expand the original agency, taking the lead over Kagesa and seizing more intelligence resources.

Even if Kagesa does eventually come to Shanghai and establish the Mei Agency, Doi-Yuan will still be invincible because of it.

Ideally, we should be able to swallow Kagesa's Plum Blossom Agency whole. Once we reach that point, that fat, round guy will surely rise to the top of the Asian intelligence world and become its king!

After leaving the original organization, Dao Yan and Dao Ya went home, while Zhao Xuan went to No. 76 on his way.

Inside the living room, the two sisters were aware of each other's identities, so they didn't hide anything from each other in their conversation.
