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

Chapter 216 Exposed
Dao Ya gently held the sobbing Dao Yan and sighed, saying:

"Sister, you saw what happened today. If your brother-in-law doesn't take action..."

Dao Yan wiped away her tears and let out a long breath:

“I know, I can understand why Manping did this.”

"I'm still heartbroken, Xiaoya. Can you really ask Young Tiger if he could take me with him? I want to avenge the people of Yongye. All four of them died at Ah Xuan's hands."

Dao Ya gently patted Dao Yan's back and asked softly:

"Sister, do you want to kill your brother-in-law to avenge them?"

Dao Yan lowered her head and did not answer Dao Ya's question. However, Dao Ya understood that her sister would not lay a hand on her brother-in-law, but she was thinking of killing the Japanese, or even killing Tu Feiyuan to avenge the four Yongye sisters.

Knowing Dao Yan's temperament, Dao Ya knew that even if she said that Youhu wouldn't agree, Dao Yan would still find a way to take revenge.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to calm my sister down first, and then ask my brother-in-law if there is any way to resolve the psychological problems she has developed.

"Okay, sister, I promise you, I'll contact Young Tiger tomorrow and ask him for you."

Dao Yan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded:

"it is good!"

After speaking, Dao Yan's expression turned serious, and Dao Ya felt a chill run down her spine.
"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

Dao Yan bit her red lips, staring intently at Dao Ya for a while before saying:
"Xiaoya, my identity has been exposed."

Dao Ya was stunned upon hearing this and anxiously asked:

"Sis, don't scare me. How did you get exposed? Who knew your identity?"

"Your brother-in-law, it turns out, he already knew I was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Dao Ya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but Dao Yan frowned as she looked at Dao Ya's expression.
"Xiaoya, you don't seem surprised at all, you even seemed relieved."

Before Dao Yan could finish speaking, Dao Ya quickly replied:
“Sister, since your brother-in-law knew your identity all along but never exposed it, and even helped you hide it, doesn’t that mean he’s no threat to you? After all, you’re husband and wife, how could he bear to lay a hand on you?”

While saying this, Dao Ya was inwardly cursing Zhao Xuan.

My brother-in-law played this move really well. Before, my sister suspected my brother-in-law's identity, but he just exposed my sister's identity and turned the tables on her!
Dao Ya wondered, "When my sister finds out the truth, will my brother-in-law be beaten to death?"
"What you say makes sense, but could you also subtly ask Youhu if there's any way for me to deal with this? Also, Xiaoya, you're also a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and we're sisters, so you and I both have to help your brother-in-law get back on the right track. Let's see if we can turn him to the side."

Dao Ya opened her mouth, but for a moment she really didn't know how to answer Dao Yan's question.

Knowing the truth, Dao Ya felt both amused and tormented. She decided that when her brother-in-law confronted her sister, she would definitely stand on her sister's side and give her brother-in-law a good beating, at least enough to render him unable to take care of himself for three days!

"Okay, sister, no matter what, I will stand by your side. Don't worry, I will definitely help you win over your brother-in-law."

A mass grave on the outskirts of Shanghai.

When Liu Manping woke up, she was so frightened by the corpses around her that she almost fell back to the ground.

Having experienced the ways Song Yuanyuan and Chen Manli died, Liu Manping still can't understand why, when she was shot, she felt it very clearly, but now, apart from a bullet hole in her clothes and a patch of dried blood, she doesn't feel any pain at all.

Liu Manping really couldn't understand how Zhao Xuan had managed to do that. Did blank rounds really have such an effect?
After shaking her head, Liu Manping hurriedly left this awful place.

The following day at noon, Saint-Lan Cafe, 58 Jessfield Road.

Dao Ya waited in her usual spot until Zhao Xuan arrived. Then, she pouted and asked in a low, disgruntled voice:

"Brother-in-law, why did you kill her yesterday?"

Zhao Xuan stirred his coffee without answering. Dao Ya gave a soft snort, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.

"Brother-in-law, you're not going to tell me that female agent isn't dead, are you?"

Seeing that Zhao Xuan still didn't answer, Dao Ya got angry:

"You stinky brother-in-law! Fine, I won't tell you then."

"By the way, my sister had a heart-to-heart talk with me last night and told me that her identity has been exposed. All I can say is, brother-in-law, you really know how to play games. Aren't you afraid of getting burned and ending up being beaten to death by my sister!"

"I'll tell your brother-in-law, my sister hits really hard."

"Also, my sister wants to see Young Tiger again and asked me to inquire with her about taking her along on this mission."

After saying that, a hint of fear flashed in Dao Ya's eyes, showing that she had been beaten up by Dao Yan quite a bit in her life.

"She actually told you, so it seems she has indeed been under a lot of psychological pressure lately."

Dao Ya replied irritably:
"How could it not be big? Anyone else who experienced what my sister went through would probably have gone crazy by now."

"Brother-in-law, have you thought of a way to comfort my sister? She didn't eat a single thing at the sushi restaurant last night. If this continues, her health will collapse."

Zhao Xuan smiled:
"Don't worry, how could I not cherish my own wife?"

"I've already thought of a plan. I'll take you somewhere in a bit."

Without revealing his own identity, Zhao Xuan has decided to compensate Dao Yan in a different way, at least to stabilize Dao Yan's emotions.

Dao Ya's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly:
"Alright, I'd like to see what you're up to, brother-in-law."

After saying that, Dao Ya got up, ran to sit down next to Zhao Xuan, and started to act coquettishly, taking his arm:
"Brother-in-law~"

"There's one more thing you must promise me!"

Zhao Xuan quickly pulled his arm back, looking at Dao Ya with disdain:
"Can you be normal for once? Tell me what's going on first."

Dao Ya giggled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhao Xuan:

"Brother-in-law, please give me special training. If I had been able to subdue that agent yesterday, she wouldn't have died in the end. So, I want to become stronger, at least strong enough to beat my sister!"

Although Dao Yan had never actually made a move, Zhao Xuan knew that Dao Yan's fighting ability was above average.

Master Niu once told Zhao Xuan that if they fought Dao Yan without using guns, the outcome would be evenly matched.

Even Master Niu wouldn't dare say he could definitely beat Dao Yan in a fight, so you can imagine how long it would take for Xiao Ya, with her small arms and legs, to train enough to defeat Dao Yan.
Zhao Xuan thought to himself that Dao Ya probably wouldn't be able to fulfill this wish in this lifetime.

Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Ya speechlessly:
"Xiaoya, do you want to become more powerful? I feel like you're dreaming."

"Little sister, don't be too ambitious. Special training is fine with you, but you should focus on combat skills. At least, don't set your goals too high."

Dao Ya's lips twitched, and then she uttered a sentence that was both devastating and morally offensive:
"So, brother-in-law, you're no match for my sister either?"

After leaving Saint Lan Cafe, Zhao Xuan took Dao Ya to the place where He Wanjun was recuperating. Dao Ya rarely came to the south of the city, and even when she did, it was only to buy food at specific locations.

This was Daoya's first time in this alleyway.

"Brother-in-law, who's here? Who did you bring me here to see?"

Zhao Xuan said as he walked:
"You want special training? I don't have that much time to play around with you, so I'll just find you four teachers and let them train you. They'll combine their skills into one. I'm not sure if you can beat Ayan, but at least you'll be able to run away when Ayan beats you up."

Daoya instantly became excited:
"Really? That's great! My dream is to strategize and win battles from afar. I'm not interested in fighting; running away is my forte!"

Seeing Dao Ya's proud expression after saying those words, Zhao Xuan smiled indulgently. This little girl...
Upon entering the courtyard, Dao Ya was completely dumbfounded.

If Dao Ya hadn't come here in broad daylight and seen Liu Manping sitting in the courtyard doing needlework, she would have been terrified.

Besides Liu Manping, Chen Manli also pushed He Wanjun, who was in a wheelchair, to sunbathe here.

Song Yuanyuan bought some daily necessities and was just about to go back when she heard a knock on the door, welcoming Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya.

After the initial shock, Dao Ya looked up at Zhao Xuan beside her with a furious expression:
"Brother-in-law, you're really something! You've got my sister and me completely fooled. You're truly amazing!"

Upon hearing this, the four sisters all covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhao Xuan raised his hand and rubbed Dao Ya's head. This girl has a strong ability to learn; she probably figured out the key points and the cause and effect in the blink of an eye.

"Everyone, the first mission of the Ghost Squad is to help me train this girl, and ideally, pass on all your skills to her!"

The night before the pufferfish conference, Shanghai, No. 18 Shanyin Road.

Kyoko Watanabe knelt before the low table, looking at Yuichi Yamao kneeling directly in front of her. Watanabe's voice rang out without any emotion:

"The pufferfish conference is tomorrow, isn't it?"

As the director of the Foreign Affairs Reception Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yamano nodded calmly:

"Hi!"

"President, I have figured out everything you asked me to investigate."

"Because of the non-aggression pact signed between the Soviet Union and Germany, the Jewish route to Europe was basically cut off. In addition, the Soviet Union occupied the Baltic Sea, which directly cut off the last route for Jews to escape from Europe."

"Project Pufferfish, as the chairman predicted, is an impossible project to complete."

Kyoko Watanabe smiled slightly.
"Have you gotten in touch with Weiss? What did he say?"

Shan Xiong snorted coldly and said angrily:

"This guy is polite on the surface, but in reality, he opposes the establishment of a Jewish state in Northeast China from the bottom of his heart, while he still longs for Yunnan."

“But Yunnan was under the control of the Kuomintang. This shows that these Jews were two-faced. On the one hand, they enjoyed the preferential policies and protection of the empire, and on the other hand, they were entangled with the Kuomintang.”

Kyoko Watanabe giggled, her eyes like those of a venomous snake. Yamagami only made eye contact for a moment before quickly lowering his head, no longer daring to look at Kyoko Watanabe.

"Let Masaki Murano in."

Yamashita breathed a sigh of relief. At least there were more people in the room, which made Yamashita feel that the level of danger was greatly reduced.

Shortly after, Masaki Murano, the vice president of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, entered the room.

"President!"

After bowing deeply to Kyoko Watanabe, Masaki Murano knelt down next to Yuki Yamao.

"Does the cabinet still harbor unrealistic fantasies about the pufferfish project?"

Masaki Murano grinned, then nodded with a sinister look in his eyes:

"The president is wise."

"They are now trying to slow down the pace of signing alliance agreements with Germany and Italy in order to pave the way for the pufferfish project."

"But please rest assured, President, I have prepared the alliance document. The last Osaka caravan that went to Europe took the alliance document with them. Your brother was also in the caravan, so they are probably already negotiating the alliance."

"However, the cabinet's emphasis on the pufferfish project may become a stumbling block in the negotiations."

Kyoko Watanabe waved her hand, signaling Masaki Murano to shut up.

"Let Kyogoku Mi in."

As soon as Kyoko Watanabe finished speaking, the window next to her was pushed open, and Kyogoku nodded to the people inside, then pushed himself up through the window and fell into the room.

After slowly walking to Masaki Murano and kneeling down, Kyogoku Mi said directly:
"Chairman, Doiyu has gathered all the Jews who attended the Fugu Conference and sent them to the Cathay Hotel in the French Concession overnight. Now, the entire staff of the Cathay Hotel has been replaced by the original staff."

“The Jewish merchants, led by Karl, are very supportive of the Pufferfish Project. Once these people die, the Pufferfish Project will collapse.”

Kyoko Watanabe no longer wanted to see the empire continue to use funds to support these Jews.

In Watanabe Kyoko's view, continuing the pufferfish project would be tantamount to suicide for a country already facing economic problems.

Only an alliance with Germany and Italy is the right direction for this war.

There was a group of selfish individuals in the cabinet who were eyeing the vast sums of money held by Jewish merchants. Watanabe was powerless to influence them in China. Therefore, Watanabe decided to nip their unrealistic fantasies in the bud.

"Then let's get started. I'll personally go and talk to Tu Feiyuan tomorrow morning. I don't want to see those people in Shanghai again after they leave the Cathay Hotel!"

Kyogoku immediately stood up:
"Hi!"

In the building opposite No. 18 Shanyin Road, Zhao Xuan watched and listened to the secret meeting convened by Watanabe Kyoko with a twitching mouth.

Zhao Xuan originally only came tonight to investigate the place Dao Ya mentioned, but he didn't expect to stumble upon Watanabe Kyoko holding a secret meeting, and such a forward-thinking and daring one at that.

If it weren't for a sudden urge tonight, and if Dao Ya hadn't discovered something, Zhao Xuan would never have thought of coming over to check.

If he doesn't come over, then everything Doiyuu does next will become a wedding dress for Watanabe Kyoko.

This woman's thoughts actually coincided with Zhao Xuan's, and were even bolder.

Zhao Xuan was only thinking about slowly boiling the frog, while Watanabe Kyoko wanted to cut the Gordian knot.

If Kyoko Watanabe makes her move beforehand, Zhao Xuan's grand plan to make a fortune will be ruined.
