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

Chapter 222 Three Kills
"Xiao Ai, thank you so much."

After taking inventory of the goods inside the factory, Daoya and Sato Ai walked out side by side.

Outside the factory, a squad of military police was on guard duty. These men were transferred from Sato Ai's second brother, Sato He.

"Xiaoya, are you still going to contact the buyer?"

Sato Ai looked at Toa beside her with some concern and asked her a question.

Daoya nodded:

"Of course, although we need to hold onto this new batch of goods, we still need to sell the goods we promised to sell before. In business, the most important thing is integrity."

Sato Ai grabbed Toa's hand:
"Xiaoya, my older brother has already warned me that if possible, we shouldn't make any moves for now. Let me keep my brother calm before we contact the buyer, okay?"

Seeing Toa shake her head, Sato Ai felt a sense of helplessness:
"In that case, Xiaoya, you have to be careful this time. My older brother has warned me several times."

"Don't worry, I'm quick-witted, everything will be fine."

After leaving the old factory area, Dao Ya took a rickshaw to Fuzhou Road.

The largest black market in Shanghai is hidden on Fuzhou Road, and the buyer that Dao Ya contacted is also there.

Dao Ya knew that the buyer she contacted this time had a special identity.

After all, ordinary buyers wouldn't use such a sophisticated connector method.

As Dao Ya approached the entrance of a coffee shop on Fuzhou Road, she was about to go inside when she saw someone she recognized.

Just last night, this person appeared in Dao Ya's sight; he was the middle-aged man who met up with the Citibank employee.

Members of the underground party!
Dao Ya was startled. She had always liked the underground party and even had a strong pro-Communist tendency.

Upon seeing that person, Dao Ya immediately realized that he was planning to make contact with someone else. Otherwise, why would a member of the underground Communist Party be sitting alone in the innermost corner, cautiously glancing at the floor-to-ceiling window from time to time?

After quickly identifying the person, Dao Ya glanced around again and found the buyer she was to meet today.

A man in a blue suit with a pen clipped to his breast belt and a magazine beside him confirmed that he was the buyer.

Feeling a little flustered, Dao Ya knew she couldn't stay standing at the cafe entrance any longer, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.

The moment she entered the coffee shop, Daoya deliberately caught her skirt in the door as she closed it, then turned around to tidy it up.

It would have been better if she hadn't turned around, but once she did, Daoya was immediately certain that the café was being monitored by the Special Higher Police.

Because she spotted Yamayu Kazuo in the crowd at a glance, and Toa knew him too!

Daoya was certain that the Special Higher Police officers weren't after the buyer she was in contact with, so the only other possibility was that they were after the underground party member.

After discovering Yamayu Kazuo, Toa quickly identified two other Special Higher Police agents. As for whether there were any others, Toa couldn't tell for the time being.

But judging from their positions and their gazes that were leaning towards the coffee shop, Dao Ya was certain that the person they were monitoring was that underground party member!

Dao Ya's mind raced as she considered what she could do to help the underground party member escape.

After adjusting her skirt, Daoya walked into the cafe with a racing heart.

Meanwhile, on the street, the gazes of Yamayu Kazuo and the others slowly shifted from the underground party member to Toya.

Yamayu Kazuo frowned, his eyes fixed on Toya sitting down in front of the underground party member.

"Sir, isn't that...isn't that the advisor's sister-in-law? Is she the contact person?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Yamayu Kazuo hesitated, wondering whether to make the arrest now.
After all, the intelligence they received indicated that the contact person wasn't a woman!
"Sir, it seems the advisor's sister-in-law is arguing with that man."

Upon seeing this, Yamayu Kazuo quickly waved his hand to signal for action.

Inside the coffee shop, the underground party member repeatedly denied being the buyer, but Dao Ya persisted. When he heard Dao Ya say that her sister was the section chief of No. 76, the man immediately got up and ran away through the back door.

Seeing this, Dao Ya got up to chase after him, a scene that stunned the real buyer.

He couldn't help but look down at his clothes, then at the pen clipped to his breast belt, and even at the magazine on the table.

That's right! With such obvious features, how could that seller mistake it for something else? What an idiot!

Just as Daoya took a step out to chase after him, Yamayu Kazuo had already led the agents from the Operations Section in.

One of the special agents stepped forward, raised his gun, and shouted at Dao Ya:
"do not move!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ya turned her head and looked over. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she leaned against the wall, trembling.

Yamayuu Kazuo led his men to give chase for a couple of steps. Seeing that Toya had been subdued, Yamayuu Kazuo clenched his fists in anger and ordered his men to continue the pursuit, while he walked toward Toya with a grim expression.

"Miss Dao, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Daoya burst into tears.

Yamayu Kazuo's lips twitched as he watched. Helpless, he could only gather the others in the coffee shop together before heading to the front desk to call the Special Higher Police.

At the far end of the coffee shop, a group of diners, their heads in their hands and crouching on the ground, were still in a daze. As for the buyer, he was incredibly relieved that the idiot seller had mistaken him for someone else; otherwise, he would probably have been arrested as well.

After making the call, Yamayu Kazuo had someone lead Toya to the front table and sit her down, while he and his men questioned and screened the diners in the restaurant.

A dozen minutes later, a Cadillac pulled up outside the cafe. Aizawa Keiko got out of the car and walked into the cafe with a grim expression.

Upon seeing this, Yamayu Kazuo immediately led his men to greet them:

"Section Chief!"

Aizawa Keiko nodded and pointed to the group of diners who were crouching at the back of the cafe with their heads in their hands:
"Is there a problem?"

Yamayu Kazuo shook his head:

"No problem, they are all normal diners. However, because of Miss Daoya, the underground party member we've been monitoring all morning has escaped."

After hearing this, Aizawa Keiko felt a headache coming on. She waved her hand and told Yamayu Kazuo to kick out the customers in the cafe. Then she went straight to sit down next to Toa, who was sobbing.

"Dao Ya, what's your relationship with that underground party member? Tell me properly, stop crying!"

Daoya shuddered in fright, looking pitifully at Aizawa Keiko:

"Sister Huizi, you're here! You scared me to death!"

After saying that, Dao Ya threw herself into Aizawa Keiko's arms. Aizawa Keiko looked up at the ceiling, then pushed Dao Ya away by pressing her shoulder, and asked with a serious expression:
"Xiaoya, I'll ask you one more time, what is your relationship with that underground party member?"

With the improvement of relations between the Special Higher Police and the Military Police Headquarters, and the sharing of intelligence, the Special Higher Police's responsibilities were no longer limited to targeting the Military Intelligence Bureau; it could also intervene in the underground Communist Party.

Because she had just eased tensions with the Military Police Headquarters today, Aizawa Keiko temporarily put aside her task of dealing with the Japanese currency templates, intending to first eliminate one of the underground party's networks and attribute the credit to the Military Police Headquarters in return for their favor.

Unexpectedly, the clues they had previously gathered were lost because of Dao Ya, which completely disrupted Aizawa Keiko's plan.

After all, by carrying out this mission, Aizawa Keiko also wanted to tell the Military Police Headquarters that as long as Zhao Xuan was in the Special Higher Police, all the credit for eliminating underground party members would belong to the Military Police Headquarters.

Now that Dao Ya has interfered, Aizawa Keiko feels exhausted.

"Sister Huizi, what underground party? I don't know anything about it."

"You don't know? Then why did Shan Xiong say that you had contact with that underground party member?"

After speaking, Aizawa Keiko glanced at Yamayukazu, who quickly said:
“Miss Daoya, that man in the gray robe and bowl-brimmed hat, didn’t you chat with him for a while?”

Daoya nodded in realization:
"I don't know him! I didn't know he was a member of the underground Communist Party!"

Aizawa Keiko raised her hand to rub her temples, then glared at Dao Ya with a rather helpless expression:
"Then what are you doing here? Do you want me to call Zhao Sang over before you'll talk? Do you know that your actions today will kill Zhao Sang!"

Daoya looked at Aizawa Keiko in horror and said in a panic:

"Sister Huizi, please don't tell my brother-in-law about what happened today, please, Sister Huizi!"

Hearing Dao Ya call her "Sister Huizi" repeatedly, Aizawa Huizi sighed and patted Dao Ya's shoulder:

"Then speak properly and tell me, what are you doing here?"

Dao Ya raised her hand to wipe away her tears, looking at Aizawa Keiko with fear and grievance:

"Sister Huizi, I'm telling you, but you can't tell my sister, okay?"

"You speak first!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ya gritted her teeth, as if making a major decision, and closed her eyes, saying:

"I'm here to sell goods!"

Standing to the side, Yamayu Kazuo's lips twitched violently.

Aizawa Keiko also looked at Daoya with a completely bewildered expression:
"What do you think you're here for?"

"Selling goods."

When Dao Ya mentioned that they had a batch of penicillin and planned to sell it on the black market for a high price to make a fortune, Aizawa Keiko's fist clenched, and she poked Dao Ya's forehead with her finger:

"At such a young age, why did you have to learn smuggling? Are you that desperate for money?"

"Do you know that if you really sell that batch of penicillin to that underground party member, you're dead! Even Zhao Sang can't save you, and he might even be implicated. Aren't you usually pretty smart? How come you're so foolish now!"

Seeing Daoya covering her forehead pitifully, her big eyes brimming with tears as she looked at her, Aizawa Keiko finally stopped poking Daoya's forehead.

"Tell me, who is your partner? Where did you get the penicillin from?"

“My sister Huizi, I cannot betray my friend.”

Aizawa Keiko was so angry she laughed, and Yamayu Kazuo looked at the little girl speechlessly.

Is that Ai Sato?

Upon hearing the name, Dao Ya's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Aizawa Keiko.

Aizawa Keiko raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, her face full of black lines. When Sato Kei asked her to seal off a warehouse in the old factory area, Aizawa Keiko had refused, saying that the mission was too time-sensitive and she didn't have time to spare.

However, she still sent someone to investigate and learned that the warehouse belonged to Sato Ai, so Aizawa Keiko stopped paying attention to it.

Aizawa Keiko had no interest in getting involved in other people's family affairs.

Now, Keiko Aizawa understands why Kei Sato asked her to seal off that warehouse.

“Xiaoya, if you need money, you can ask Section Chief Dao, or you can ask Zhao Sang, or if all else fails, you can borrow from me. Why do you have to do something like this?”

Dao Ya looked at Lan Ze Huizi pitifully, then grabbed Lan Ze Huizi's wrist and shoved her:
"Sister Huizi, I swear, I'll never do it again. You absolutely can't tell my brother-in-law about this. It's one thing if he cuts off my allowance, but if he finds out, he'll definitely break my legs. Sister Huizi, please."

Aizawa Keiko took a deep breath and squinted as she stared at Daoya:
"Let go! I'm asking you, what do you need so much money for? The price of penicillin keeps rising. Even if you only have one case, the profit will be at least tens of thousands of fiat currency!"

Daoya sniffed, looked at Aizawa Keiko timidly, and said somewhat shyly:

"Sister Huizi, I... I only have one hobby, which is making money. I've already graduated, and I'm just sitting at home doing nothing all day, like a useless piece of trash. I also want to make money to support my family."

Aizawa Keiko laughed in exasperation, glanced at her watch, then turned to Yamayu Kazuo and said:
"You continue to follow up on the clues. I'll take care of Xiaoya."

Yamayuu glared at Toya, that little brat. All his hard work for the day had been wasted, and now he had to go back to work overtime.

Shanghai, Wusong Road, Special Higher Police.

Aizawa Keiko was having lunch when Yamayu Kazuo called her over.

At this moment, in the Special Higher Police canteen, Aizawa Keiko got a meal for Daoya and then gave her the chicken leg from her own plate as a parting gift:
"Eat slowly, and wait for me in my office after you finish eating."

Dao Ya nodded repeatedly, took a bite of the chicken leg, and then asked cautiously:
"Sister Huizi, you won't tell your husband about what happened to me, right?"

Aizawa Keiko rolled her eyes at Toa:
"see your performance!"

After dinner, Aizawa Keiko left Toya in her office and went alone.

Upon arriving at the head of the technical department's office, Murakami Yua nodded to Aizawa Keiko. Aizawa Keiko sat down at the desk and then picked up her phone to eavesdrop.

While she was having lunch in her office, Aizawa Keiko had already arranged for someone to install a bugging device.

"Section Chief, is that young girl really the consultant's sister-in-law?"

Seeing Aizawa Keiko nod, Yua smiled and pursed her lips:
"Section Chief, I have a box of chocolates here. I'll take it to her. I heard that this girl is very interested in food."

"That's true. Letting her sit there doing nothing isn't a solution. We should send her some food and drinks."

Inside the section chief's office, Dao Ya wandered around the room twice, touching this and looking at that, completely acting as if she were one of the guests.

When Murakami Yua came in with chocolate and milk, she saw Toa sitting in the section chief's office chair, spinning around.

Upon seeing the suddenly opened door, Daoya immediately jumped up from her office chair, looking at the person who entered with an embarrassed expression. Seeing that it wasn't Aizawa Keiko, Daoya breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in her office chair.
"Who are you? Are you looking for Sister Huizi? She's not here."

Yua Murakami's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Toa, who was treating her like her master, and felt both amused and helpless.

"I'm coming to find you."

"I heard from the section chief that you're Zhao Sang's sister-in-law. Zhao Sang and I are good friends. I happen to have some food here, would you like some?"

Yua raised her hand and waved it. Daoya's eyes lit up, and she stood up again.
"Thank you sister."

Yua chuckled, quickly walked over, and placed the chocolate and milk on the desk.
"My name is Murakami Yua, and you're Toa, right?"

"Ok!"

"These are all for you, but don't touch the section chief's things here. I have something to attend to."

"Thank you, Yua-neechan."

After watching Yua Murakami leave, Toa sat down at her desk humming a little tune, grabbed a chocolate, and started tearing open the wrapper.

Back in the technical department, Yua smiled at Keiko Aizawa:

"Section Chief, this little girl is quite cute, and she's really brave."

Aizawa Keiko chuckled:
"If she weren't bold, would she have gone so far as to smuggle drugs? When Kishimoto Osamu comes back later, I'll have him come here to find me."

"Understood, Section Chief. I'll head out now. Please continue listening."

Half an hour later, Aizawa Keiko took off her headphones and smiled. At that moment, Kishimoto Osamu returned.

Upon seeing Aizawa Keiko, Kishimoto Osamu began to speak:
"Section Chief, we've found out. Sato Ai did indeed get a batch of penicillin from the quartermaster department, and the person who cooperated with Sato Ai in selling penicillin was Dao Ya."

"In addition, Dao Ya went to Fuzhou Road today to meet a buyer on the black market. I guess the reason she argued with that underground party member today was probably because that underground party member happened to be sitting in the seat where she was meeting the buyer."

"The situation I learned from the coffee shop was similar. After Dao Ya went in, she went straight to that underground party member, sat down, and arrogantly demanded that he give up his seat. When he didn't listen, she threatened him, saying that her sister was the section chief of the 76th Division and her brother-in-law was from the Special Higher Police."

After saying that, Kishimoto Osamu was speechless, because it was all a coincidence.

Lan Zehui shook her head and smiled. This little girl's skill in using someone else's name to intimidate others is truly masterful.

"Since it was unintentional, that's good. Kishimoto-kun, go and continue to follow up on the contact. We absolutely cannot let the credit go to the people from the original organization."

The reason they were able to obtain the contact information for that underground party member was because it was delivered by someone planted next to Doiyuu.

Judging from the current situation, Tu Feiyuan has completely compromised with Yingzuo, and Yingzuo has also given Tu Feiyuan an important piece of information.

Although this has alarmed the underground party members lurking in Shanghai, the contact person from Nanjing has not lost contact and can still be tracked.

"Hi!"

Kishimoto responded and left the technical department.

Time: 4 PM, entrance to the Special Higher Education Apartment Complex on Wusong Road, Shanghai.

Zhao Xuan stood there and saw a black Cadillac drive up. He nodded to the military police on duty, and the military police on both sides cleared the roadblock.

Dao Yan parked her car next to Zhao Xuan. After Zhao Xuan got in and gave directions, Dao Yan continued driving into the apartment area.

"You skipped work?" Dao Yan glanced at Zhao Xuan:

"Didn't we say we were going to treat Aizawa Keiko to dinner? If we don't come out early, what are we going to do when she gets off work and comes over to starve?"

Soon, the car stopped in the front yard of Zhao Xuan's villa.

After getting out of the car, Dao Yan glanced around and clicked his tongue in admiration:

"Aizawa Keiko is really good to you. She even arranged a detached villa for you. No wonder you're in such a hurry to move out of your home."

Zhao Xuan smiled awkwardly, helped Dao Yan carry the groceries, and walked into the house.

“Aizawa Keiko is coming over tonight, and your pass has arrived. From now on, when you come to see me, I won’t need to go to the gate to meet you.”

Dao Yan didn't reply, and carried the groceries to the kitchen.

"Then I should thank her. Ah Xuan, help me prepare the fish. Let's make a braised fish later."

"I'll go pick the vegetables first. It's been a long time since I cooked, so I don't know if my skills have become rusty."

Before moving into Ding Moqun's house, Dao Yan had always relied on Dao Ya for survival, so cooking was naturally no problem for her.

Dao Yan's cooking skills are quite good, whether it's one or two signature dishes or ordinary home-style dishes.

Around 5:10, Zhao Xuan carried dishes from the kitchen to the dining table.

A braised fish, a salt-baked chicken, a plate of cold dishes, a plate of braised beef, plus two stir-fries and a pot of pork bone soup—that's it!
Looking at the dishes laid out on the table, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Dao Yan's cooking skills are indeed excellent; the food looks, smells, and tastes delicious. Before today, Zhao Xuan had no idea that Dao Yan could cook.

If she hadn't been born in this era, Dao Yan would definitely be a qualified virtuous wife and loving mother.

Coming out of the kitchen, Dao Yan saw Zhao Xuan sneaking a bite to eat. She smiled, then her expression changed instantly.
"You little brat, you even stole some food. You've already sobered up the red wine I swiped from my uncle. By now, Aizawa Keiko should be here too."

Zhao Xuan turned around, smiled at Dao Yan, wiped his hands, and took out the wine that Dao Yan had brought:
"When Ding Moqun comes back, he'll probably feel bad about the first batch of Cabernet Sauvignon."

Ding Moqun doesn't have a large collection of red wine; it fills an entire wine cabinet, but there are only three bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon on the entire cabinet, all of which were produced in the first batch.

Compared to international red wines, the taste is similar, but the collection value is very high.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan went to the door side by side to open it.

But when the door opened, both Dao Yan and Zhao Xuan were a little confused to see Lan Zehuizi and Dao Ya appear together.

Upon seeing that Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan were both there, Dao Ya turned to run, but Lan Zehuizi swiftly grabbed her by the back of her collar:
"Section Chief Dao, Zhao Sang, I ran into Xiao Ya by chance today. She's having dinner here tonight, so I brought her over."

Dao Ya chuckled dryly and waved slightly at Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan:

"What a coincidence, sister and brother-in-law!"

After saying this, Dao Ya sniffed the air slightly and immediately became excited:
"That familiar taste, sister, it's your cooking!"

"Sister Huizi, let me go, I won't run away anymore."

After the two entered, Dao Ya darted towards the dining table, while Dao Yan and Zhao Xuan lagged behind. They looked at Lan Ze Huizi, who was carrying two bottles of red wine, and asked:
"Huizi, what happened? What trouble did Xiaoya get into?"

Aizawa Keiko replied with a smile:

"It's just a little trouble, it's nothing. I didn't expect Section Chief Dao's cooking skills to be so good. I could smell the delicious food as soon as I stood at the door."

"Section Chief Lan Ze is too kind. Please come in. It's just come out of the pot. Let's eat and chat."

"Section Chief Dao, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Huizi."

"Huizi, then you can call me Daoyan. Thank you so much this time, otherwise Ah Xuan..."

At the dining table, Dao Yan and Lan Zehui sat together, while Zhao Xuan sat with Dao Ya.

Dao Yan picked up her wine glass and said with a smile:

"The first cup is to Huizi, to thank her for saving us."

After Huizi picked up her wine, she clinked glasses with Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan. Dao Ya also clinked glasses with the three of them while holding a glass of milk. However, Dao Ya was very angry. These three people clearly still treated her like a child.

Why can those three drink alcohol, while I, a college graduate, can only drink milk?

A moment later, Aizawa Keiko almost couldn't help but burp:
"Dao Yan, your cooking is delicious."

"Of course, my sister is a great cook, but unfortunately, she stopped cooking after we arrived at my uncle's house, hmph!"

Dao Ya, who was gnawing on a salt-baked chicken leg, expressed her dissatisfaction to Dao Yan.

"Eating can't shut you up. By the way, you almost got away with it. What did you do today? What trouble did you cause Huizi?"

Dao Ya took a breath, momentarily carried away by her smugness, and completely forgot the trouble she had caused today.

Lan Zehuizi tugged at Dao Yan's sleeve, shook her head, and smiled:

"It's alright. I've already disciplined Xiaoya, and she promised me she would change. She's still just a child, so don't make things difficult for her."

Normally, if someone called her a child, Dao Ya would immediately retort, but given the situation today, Dao Ya decided to act like a child for once.

"Huizi, don't speak up for her. Daoya, tell me yourself, what did you do today? Didn't I tell you to stay home and prepare for your job at HSBC? What were you doing running out?"

Dao Ya turned her head to look at Zhao Xuan, who was eating by himself. Dao Ya quietly reached out and tugged at Zhao Xuan's sleeve. Seeing that Zhao Xuan still ignored her, Dao Ya snorted and glared angrily at Dao Yan:
"I'm off to do business!"

Lan Zehui rubbed her forehead. She had completely forgotten the confession she had prepared before coming here. She hadn't expected that this little girl would have such a temper.

However, this made Lan Zehuizi even more relieved. A girl with such a temperamental personality as Dao Ya would never be favored by the Military Intelligence Bureau or the underground party.

Snapped!
Dao Yan slapped the dining table and stood up. Seeing this, Dao Ya's arrogance vanished instantly, and she jumped up and hid behind Zhao Xuan.

Seeing that Dao Yan was about to come around and deal with Dao Ya, Zhao Xuan quickly said:

"Hey, Yan, you can scold me, but don't hit me!"

Dao Yan's eyebrows furrowed, and her fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged.

"Zhao Xuan, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you still dare to speak up for this brat. It seems you two both deserve a beating!"

"You used to take care of Xiaoya, look at the state she's become! Not only did she graduate early, but she's also gone off to do business with Huizi. Today I..."

Seeing that Dao Yan was about to completely explode, Lan Ze Huizi quickly got up and pulled Dao Yan back:
"Dao Yan, don't be angry. Xiao Ya didn't do anything out of line today. She just happened to be there while we were monitoring the suspect. That's all."

Dao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take the opportunity to back down, following Lan Zehui's suggestion, when Dao Ya poked her head out from behind Zhao Xuan, smiling smugly:

"Sister Huizi, you're so much better. Look at her, she's like a tigress. I feel hopeless about my brother-in-law's future!"

(Sir, danger!)
Zhao Xuan only heard Edith's notification sound in his mind, and the next second, he felt a dizzying sensation.

pat!

Zhao Xuan felt the ground was very cold. His face made intimate contact with the floor. In his line of sight, Dao Yan had already pressed his knee against Dao Ya's slender waist without him noticing.

Zhao Xuan even suspected that if Dao Yan used just a little more force, Dao Ya's slender waist would break!

Dao Ya was completely dumbfounded. Her hands were tied behind her back by Dao Yan, and she dared not exert any strength in her waist. Half of her body was suspended in a shrimp-like bow. Dao Ya was certain that if Dao Yan let go, her mouth would have to make intimate contact with the floor.

The only one still standing in the same spot was Aizawa Keiko.

For a fleeting moment, Aizawa Keiko could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Despite her slender and even frail appearance, Dao Yan was able to unleash such terrifying speed and power.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya were knocked to the floor by Dao Yan.

Lan Zehui swallowed hard. Based on Dao Yan's performance just now, she felt that even ten of her wouldn't be a match for Dao Yan.

Lying on the ground, Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Ya, who was tilting her head and blinking her eyes, pleading for his help. Zhao Xuan felt utterly exhausted.

Ten minutes later, in the kitchen, Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya were washing dishes. Zhao Xuan put the washed plates away in the cupboard, and finally couldn't help but look at Dao Ya, whose eyes were still brimming with tears:
"Look at you! Ayan wasn't even planning to make a move, what are you trying to prove? Would it kill you to say one less word? You made me lose face in front of outsiders by letting your sister take me down with one hand!"

Dao Ya sniffed, forcing back tears as she glared fiercely at Zhao Xuan:

"Brother-in-law, you're such a weakling. If you were even slightly capable of fighting, would we have been beaten up just now? Besides, I begged you for help just now, and you didn't dare to say a word. I really misjudged you, brother-in-law. Just wait, once I've mastered my skills with my four masters, I'm definitely going to take revenge on Dao Yan!"

"Cough cough!"

Upon discovering that Dao Yan had already returned after seeing Lan Zehui off, Zhao Xuan quickly coughed twice, and Dao Ya immediately changed her expression:
"Brother-in-law, wash yourself properly. If my sister just rinses you off, she'll beat you up again."

Zhao Xuan smirked. "You brat, I kindly reminded you that Ayan is back, and you dare to betray me!"
"What's all the noise about? Why are you chattering away while I'm washing the dishes? Was I too gentle with you just now?"

Dao Yan, arms crossed, walked to the kitchen doorway and leaned against it, looking at Dao Ya and Zhao Xuan, who had their backs to him, with a half-smile.

A few minutes later, in the living room, Dao Yan was facing Dao Ya and Zhao Xuan, who were sitting on the sofa opposite the coffee table:

"You've already learned how to smuggle drugs at such a young age, Dao Ya. I've realized I really underestimated you."

Dao Ya lowered her head and muttered to herself, "That big liar Lan Zehui said she wouldn't tell her family, but she turned around and told Dao Yan everything."

Seeing Zhao Xuan's gloating smile, Dao Yan shot him a glare. Zhao Xuan gave an embarrassed smile and leaned back on the sofa.
"You sisters chat, I won't interrupt."

Dao Yan took a deep breath. She was constantly worrying about her husband and then her sister. If she had a heart condition, she would eventually be driven to death by these two.

"Dao Ya, I'm telling you one more time, don't treat others like fools!"

“We’ve lived together for so many years, don’t I know you well enough? If you hadn’t discovered that underground party member’s identity, would you have gone there? And you even used your connections to warn that person to leave. You’re so bold now—no, you’ve always been very bold. But have you ever thought about it? If the person you were facing today wasn’t Lan Zehuizi, your brother-in-law and I would really be going to the interrogation room to see you. Maybe we’d even have to send you dinner to Tilanqiao Prison!”

Daoya lowered her head and said weakly:

"I'm sorry, sister, I won't do it again next time."

"You want to do it again? Starting today, you'll stay here with the military police watching you. Let's see if you can still cause trouble everywhere."

Daoya nodded quickly:
"I understand, sister. I promise I'll be good from now on and I won't run around anymore."

Dao Yan closed her eyes in anger and sighed. When she opened them again, she looked at Zhao Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, I'm leaving Xiao Ya in your care. Keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't run away. I'm heading back now."

After saying this, Dao Yan stood up to leave, but Zhao Xuan was startled and quickly stood up to stop her.
"No, you're not staying?"

Dao Yan looked at Zhao Xuan somewhat awkwardly and said:

"This noon, my uncle called No. 76 and asked me to temporarily take over as the director of No. 76."

"I have already arranged for Miao Xue to temporarily take over as the head of the 76th Intelligence Section."

After listening, Zhao Xuan smiled and nodded:

"Miao Xue is capable enough."

In just a few months, Miao Xue has transformed from a recent college graduate into an outstanding special agent, a feat that surpasses that of many veteran agents.

After Dao Yan left, Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Ya on the sofa with a smile:
"Don't worry, there's no eavesdropping here."

Dao Ya breathed a sigh of relief; Dao Yan's words had really frightened her.

“My sister is an outstanding agent of the Kuomintang military intelligence. How could she say those things in someone else’s house?”

Dao Ya complained, and Zhao Xuan stepped forward and smiled:
"Do you think Ah Yan came over an hour early just to wait for nothing?"

Dao Ya chuckled, then her expression turned serious:

"Brother-in-law, the underground party member I met today was the one who helped that Citibank employee leave last night. Is he being watched today related to the Citibank incident?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"Don't worry, it's alright. It's impossible for them to find out who took the funds last night, unless your second master betrays them."

"My second master is a member of the Ghost Squad, one of your people, brother-in-law. Don't you trust her?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and sat down on the sofa opposite Dao Ya:
“If I didn’t trust her, how could I possibly have given her seven and a half million US dollars?”

"But you, the person you met today was also at that coffee shop, right?"

Dao Ya nodded solemnly:
“That’s right, and I suspect that person is a Kuomintang agent.”

"Describe the characteristics, the more specific the better."

As Dao Ya recounted every single detail, a fierce glint flashed in Zhao Xuan's eyes:
"He must be eliminated!"

"But he's a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Edith's voice echoed in Zhao Xuan's mind at the same time.

(Feature matching complete. Zhou Wei, male, 32 years old, from China, agent of the Kuomintang's Shanghai station, codename: Water Ghost)

“That’s right. Zhou Wei, codenamed Water Ghost, from the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, previously infiltrated the Green Gang’s Boss Huang’s inner circle, intending to assassinate him. However, before he could make a move, Boss Huang was killed by your fourth master.”

Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan with some hesitation:

"Do we really have to get rid of him? He bought penicillin from me, probably for the sake of the Nationalist army in the Central China Theater."

“Because of your help to the underground party, he has reason to suspect that you are a member of the underground party. This Zhou Wei must be eliminated.”

Dao Ya carefully recalled the events inside the coffee shop. Zhou Wei's changing expressions flashed through her mind repeatedly. Finally, a layer of sweat beaded on Dao Ya's forehead.
"Brother-in-law, you're right, he probably suspects me."

Seeing Zhao Xuan's serious expression, Dao Ya also regretted what she had done today.

She acted without a perfect plan, and now look what happened—she messed things up and her contact has become suspicious.

"If he suspects me, he might have already reported today's events. If so, even if Zhou Wei dies, it won't make a difference."

"Then you should pray that he hasn't reported it yet."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ya's lips twitched, and she quickly got up and sat down next to Zhao Xuan:

"Then what should I do? Lure him out, torture him severely, and find out if he reported this matter?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan looking at her like she was an idiot, Dao Ya pouted, realizing she had been making assumptions.

"Talk to your four masters. As masters, we should take responsibility for the trouble caused by our disciples. This will teach you a lesson. It's not that you can't adapt to changing circumstances, but you must consider all possible situations."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan had Edith make a call to the Ghost Team, and nodded to Dao Ya at the same time.

Daoya took a deep breath and recounted what had happened that day.

No. 15, Third Lane, Sixth Lane, South of Shanghai.

After receiving Zhao Xuan's call and listening to Dao Ya's story, Liu Manping raised her hand to rub her forehead.

He Wanjun, who was leaning against the headboard, said after listening:
"According to Xiaoya's description, this person is indeed Zhou Wei. He is hesitant in his actions, but once he decides to strike, he always succeeds!"

"Based on my understanding of Zhou Wei, he is currently only in the stage of suspicion regarding Xiao Ya. Without solid evidence, he will not report anything to his superiors other than the mission."

Chen Manli looked at Liu Manping with some concern:
"Big sister, the boss entrusted Xiaoya to us for special training, and she left a loophole in her first move. As her mentor, we should help her fix it."

Liu Manping sighed, her expression serious and somewhat angry as she looked at He Wanjun and Chen Manli:
"Starting tomorrow, triple Xiaoya's training volume. This time, we'll teach her a lesson she won't forget."

"Manli, come with me to meet Zhou Wei."

A flash of surprise crossed Chen Manli's eyes. She knew that her eldest sister also harbored murderous intentions towards Zhou Wei.

They are ghosts now. If Zhou Wei sees them, it means that Zhou Wei can die.

Their existence must not be known to anyone other than Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya.

Of course, Song Yuanyuan is an exception, after all, she is the only one left by Zhao Xuan to allow the ghost to roam outside.

"Eldest sister, third sister, Zhou Wei's residence is No. 42, Sanli Lane, Fuzhou Road. I investigated this place when I was undercover in the Green Gang. You can go there and take a look first."

An hour later, in the sewers of Sanli Lane on Fuzhou Road, Zhou Wei looked at the two people in front of him with flashlights, his face dazed.
