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

Chapter 217 Fifty Thousand
With only one night left, Zhao Xuan needed to see Tu Feiyuan as soon as possible to break this deadlock.

"Edith, leave one nanobug to monitor Watanabe Kyoko, and send the other nanobug to follow Kyogoku Mi."

The alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan is an inevitable trend that Zhao Xuan cannot stop.

So what Zhao Xuan can do now is to finish harvesting the wheat before the Japanese start to plunder and profit from the Jews.

Eighty percent of the capital of these Jews in China is controlled by a few Jews led by Karl. Zhao Xuan can't worry about the Northeast, but he doesn't want the huge amount of Jewish funds in Shanghai to fall into the hands of Watanabe Kyoko.

Watanabe was already difficult to deal with, and if she were to have a lot of money in her hands, Zhao Xuan didn't even dare to imagine what kind of terrorist organization Watanabe would develop into the Osaka Chamber of Commerce's Shanghai branch.

After leaving Hongkou, Zhao Xuan drove towards his former workplace, his mind racing.

After slamming on the brakes and pulling the car over to the side of the road, Zhao Xuan turned off the engine, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes.

No, I can't go looking for that fat, ugly guy.

Carl and the others had already been arranged by Tu Feiyuan to stay at the Hua Mao Hotel.

In other words, the fat, round, and chubby people have already gathered themselves together.

As the saying goes, the bold get rich while the timid starve. Since Watanabe was going to make a move, Zhao Xuan, after thinking for a while, suddenly opened his eyes and made a decision in his heart.

Get started first!
As for the ten points that Tu Feiyuan promised to give him before, sorry, Zhao Xuan has now decided to take them all!

The Fugu Conference failed, and both Tu Feiyuan and Zhao Xuan would inevitably have to take responsibility. At that time, Zhao Xuan knew that he could no longer stay in the position of head of the intelligence department, let alone continue to serve as acting director.

However, given the vast resources held by the Jews led by Karl, Zhao Xuan felt it was worth taking the risk.

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Xuan started the car and drove directly towards Jisifeier Road.

If Zhao Xuan wanted to complete his idea within the limited time of one night, he absolutely could not do it all by himself.

Tonight, Zhao Xuan decided to call on his friends and leave a deep impression on the Japanese, making Young Tiger and Tiger Girl legends in the intelligence community.

"Edith, call Sun Jianzhong."

(Mr. Mingjie!)

From Edith's tone, Zhao Xuan could tell that Edith had also become incredibly excited at this moment.

In a secret room behind Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road.

Since Chen Guang had contacted him by phone the previous times, Sun Jianzhong had installed a telephone in the secret room.

That evening, Sun Jianzhong had just received the organization's affirmation of the comrades in Shanghai and the commendation of Comrade Lidong. He had just finished tidying up the radio and was about to go to sleep when the phone on the cabinet next to him rang.

Jingle Bell--

Sun Jianzhong felt his heart skip a beat.

Sun Jianzhong didn't tell anyone about this phone call—yes, nobody!

In Sun Jianzhong's view, the only person in the entire city who could make that call was probably Comrade Chenguang, who was rarely seen.

As soon as Sun Jianzhong grabbed the phone, he heard a familiar voice:

"Comrade Chenguang?"

(It's me, Secretary Sun. Good evening.)
After taking several deep breaths, Sun Jianzhong smiled, his face crinkling with wrinkles.
"Comrade Chenguang, is there any mission that requires our cooperation?"

(Important operation tonight: Select two key teams to enter the French Concession. Wait for my message at the wonton stall in Xiaosanli near the Cathay Hotel at 1:00 PM. The code word is: "The sun sets beyond the mountains, return; the farmer hoes the fields at noon.")
(Also, we should have someone working at Citibank, right? He absolutely has to!)

Sun Jianzhong broke out in a sweat. From Chen Guang's tone, he could tell that tonight's operation was extremely important and urgent.

"I understand. As long as it's Comrade Chenguang's plan, we will cooperate unconditionally. Don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Jianzhong swallowed hard, quickly got up and left the secret room, went to the bookstore counter, grabbed the phone, and dialed:
"Old Bai, Red Hare should still be in the city, right? Contact him immediately."

After instructing Sun Jianzhong on what to do, Zhao Xuan then asked Edith to contact Master Niu at the Xinzhong Bookstore on Huanghe Road.

Upon hearing Master Niu's voice, Zhao Xuan, who was driving, immediately said:
"Master Niu, to make a long story short, how many weapons do you have? And how many pistols are equipped with silencers?"

"Okay, drive everything out. Then wait for me near Zhu's Clothing Store on Xiafei Road. Don't worry, I can find it."

After having Edith hang up, Zhao Xuan then had her dial the phone in the secret room of Zhu's Clothing Store.

Zhu Zhili, who had already gone to bed, got up groggily when the phone rang and answered it without thinking.

"Hey Dao Dao, it's so late, don't tell me this number is haunted!"

(I am a tiger cub!)

Startled, Zhu Zhili was wide awake and abruptly sat up in bed:

"Young tiger!"

How did you find my way here?

(Tequila, stop talking nonsense and contact the people at the Shanghai station immediately. Tell them to gather their men and wait at Zhu's Clothing Store. The Hurricane Team must be there. I will arrange for someone to tell you what to do tonight.)
Zhu Zhili frowned, about to question why she believed he was a young tiger, when Zhao Xuan revealed the secret code.

This is the new code issued after the decision was made to appoint Young Tiger as the captain in Shancheng. However, the code received by each line is different.

Upon hearing Zhao Xuan utter the code, Zhu Zhili immediately responded:
"Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Zhili vigorously rubbed her delicate face, which was covered in freckles, and immediately got up to start getting dressed.

After contacting these people, Zhao Xuan thought carefully and then called He Wanjun's small courtyard where she was recuperating.

The person who answered the phone was Liu Manping.

"The Ghost Team's second mission is to ambush Tu Feiyuan. Except for Guifei, the three of you, immediately go to the place with the phone booths on Nanjing Road and prepare. I will inform you of Tu Feiyuan's movement route in a timely manner. What you need to do is to hold him off. If you can kill him, kill him directly!"

After the phone call ended, Zhao Xuan had already driven home.

At this moment, the living room was still brightly lit. Dao Ya, who had just finished showering, was lying on the sofa, chatting away with Dao Yan, who was sitting on the other sofa reading a book.

Upon seeing Zhao Xuan return, Dao Ya instantly jumped up from the sofa:

"Brother-in-law, where have you been? Why are you so late?" Zhao Xuan made up an excuse, hung his coat on the rack by the door, loosened his cuffs, and slowly walked into the living room.

"There's an important operation tomorrow, so we need to make some preparations tonight. I just got back from the old headquarters. What's wrong? Where did you go today? You look so listless."

After speaking, Zhao Xuan walked over and sat down next to Dao Yan. Dao Yan glanced at Zhao Xuan with a smile on her lips, then closed her book and looked at Dao Ya with curiosity:
“Ah Xuan is right, Xiao Ya, where did you go today? You didn’t come back for dinner.”

Dao Ya glared at Zhao Xuan speechlessly. This is no way to shift the focus of fire!
"Mind your own business! I can go wherever I want. I'm not a student anymore. Watch your tone when you talk to me!"

Dao Yan chuckled, her eyes turning somewhat dangerous as she looked at Dao Ya. Dao Ya shuddered and quickly put on a smiling face as she looked at Dao Yan.
"Oh, just kidding, don't take it so seriously. I went to visit Senior Xiao Ai today, and I had dinner at her house."

As soon as Dao Ya finished speaking, the phone on the table next to Dao Yan rang. Dao Yan, who was about to ask more questions, answered the phone without thinking.
"Hey"

Before Dao Yan could finish speaking, a woman's voice came from the phone:

"Hello, are you available now? The cheongsam you ordered last time has been made. Please come and pick it up when you have some free time."

Dao Yan was startled and immediately gave Dao Ya a look. Dao Ya already recognized the voice on the phone. Seeing her sister's look, Dao Ya suppressed a laugh, put on her slippers, and rushed to Zhao Xuan's side.

"Brother-in-law, I bought you a gift today, come with me to see it!"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan deliberately struggled a couple of times before being dragged away from the living room by Dao Ya and quickly running upstairs.

"Hey, slow down! There's no need to rush when it comes to gifts!"

Soon, they reached the second-floor stairwell and entered Dao Ya's room. After slamming the door shut, Dao Ya finally couldn't hold back anymore. She let go of Zhao Xuan's arm and pounced onto the bed, covering her head and giggling.

Several seconds passed before Dao Ya smoothed her slightly disheveled hair and looked at Zhao Xuan with a sly expression, saying:

"Brother-in-law, you're really something, getting Edith to call my sister. What, is there a mission tonight?"

How did you know it was tonight?

Dao Ya scoffed, sat up in bed, and looked at Zhao Xuan with shining eyes, saying:

“Is it that hard to analyze? If the mission wasn’t very urgent, why would you have Edith call so late, especially when we were all there?”

"Also, brother-in-law, you're the one who told me to go all the way in this act, but when we got to my room, you didn't ask anything about the gift. So, you have something for me to do tonight. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Zhao Xuan smiled; he liked his clever and quick-witted sister-in-law.

"I'd like to invite you to perform in a big show tonight, to be a voice actor, and to do my voiceover."

Dao Ya cleared her throat and instantly switched to Zhao Xuan's voice:
"Great! I'd be delighted. It'll be a pleasure to work together with the young tiger cub!"

After saying that, Dao Ya slapped Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan shook his head and smiled. He really didn't know who Dao Ya inherited her voice talent from. Her voice switching and tone application were so smooth that there wasn't a single flaw.

But that brat's money-grubbing habit has resurfaced.

Five large yellow croakers?

Dao Ya shook her head repeatedly:
"No, no, no, such an urgent mission deserves at least fifty thousand US dollars!"

Zhao Xuan pretended to gasp, looking at Dao Ya in disbelief:
"You brat, you really know how to rip people off!"

Dao Ya smiled slyly:

"Hmph, it's fine if you don't agree, just ask your brother-in-law to find someone else. I'm so sleepy, all I want to do right now is sleep, woof!"

As she spoke, Dao Ya yawned, and Zhao Xuan rubbed his forehead, looking quite embarrassed, and said:
"Okay, you win, fifty thousand it is."

After hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Dao Ya opened her mouth, stared blankly at Zhao Xuan, and after several seconds asked:
"Brother-in-law, did I ask for too little?"

Zhao Xuan's expression turned somewhat ferocious as he looked at Dao Ya:
"Since when did you stop caring about $50,000?"

Dao Ya still stared at Zhao Xuan suspiciously, confirming his gaze several times before finally nodding.
"Okay, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

At this moment, in the living room, Dao Yan recognized Edith's voice immediately – it was another Tiger Girl!
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle things at home."

After hanging up the phone, Dao Yan calmed her excited emotions and took several deep breaths before turning to look at the stairwell.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya also came down.

"Ayan, I think I should teach Xiaoya a lesson. She said she bought me a gift, but this brat got greedy and tried to negotiate with me, wanting me to take her out for a late-night snack. Is that even fair?"

Dao Ya covered her forehead, clearly having just been tapped by Zhao Xuan, and was now following behind him with a pitiful expression.

After listening, Dao Yan smiled radiantly and said:

"Xiaoya hasn't gone out for a late-night snack in a long time. Honey, why don't you take Xiaoya out?"

Hearing the word "husband," Zhao Xuan felt his heart melt.

After all, the term "husband" was something Dao Yan would only utter when she was lost in passion and confused during their nightly struggles. Hearing Dao Yan address him that way today, Zhao Xuan's face lit up with a radiant smile. He tilted his chin slightly, as if bathed in a gentle breeze, and said with an air of righteous indignation:

“Ayan, you’re right. Xiaoya has been very well-behaved these days. She occasionally asks to go out for a late-night snack, and we have to oblige. Ayan, go change your clothes, we’ll be leaving in a bit!”

Dao Yan gracefully rose, walked alluringly to Zhao Xuan's side, tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek, and said:

"Honey, I'm tired tonight, so I won't go out. Will you go with Xiaoya instead?"

Standing behind Zhao Xuan, Dao Ya got goosebumps listening to her sister's mushy tone. She shrugged, shrank back, and glanced at her sister with a look of disgust.

But as soon as Dao Yan gave her a piercing look, Dao Ya quickly grabbed Zhao Xuan's other arm, her big, bright eyes fixed on him.

"Brother-in-law~ Since my sister isn't going, why don't you come with me!"

Snapped!Snapped!
Two slaps landed instantly on Dao Ya's head. Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan exclaimed in unison:
"Daoya! Be normal for once!" (x2)

Covering her head, Dao Ya took three steps back before glaring angrily at the two despicable people!
After isolating Dao Ya, Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Yan with suspicion:
"Ayan, you're not planning to do something shady behind our backs after we leave, are you?"

Dao Yan tilted her head back, staring intently into Zhao Xuan's eyes. She then tiptoed and whispered arrogantly in Zhao Xuan's ear:

"So what if I am? Just tell me if you're going or not. Anyway, mind your own business!"
