Chapter 226 Beating
"Why would you want to be arrested by the original organization? Is there something about the original organization that is the target of your mission?"

“Normally, if you’re arrested and taken to an intelligence agency, you won’t have access to important secrets. If you’re lucky, you might survive a few rounds of interrogation, but then you’ll just be imprisoned. So, your goal is the place where you’re imprisoned—a prison cell!”

Looking at Zhao Xuan, who was speaking eloquently, Lu Jin already felt scared.

Is this guy just guessing?

It's terrifying that even a wild guess could figure out his purpose!

Despite the turmoil in his heart, Lu Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to look at Zhao Xuan with a mocking gaze.

Zhao Xuan also confirmed that Lu Jin's mission was indeed to go to the original agency's prison to make contact with someone.

However, neither Aizawa Keiko nor Yamayuichi saw anything wrong, since Lu Jin's emotions and expression remained unchanged throughout the entire process.

"Baka! This kid won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences."

"Zhao Sang, use torture. You won't get anything out of them by questioning them like this."

Yamayu Kazuo couldn't stand the way Lu Jin was looking at them; it was blatant mockery.

Zhao Xuan stood up with a smile:

"Yamao-kun, I'll try again."

Aizawa Keiko also raised her hand to stop Yamayu Kazuo, watching Zhao Xuan slowly walk in front of Lu Jin.

Standing next to Lu Jin, Zhao Xuan raised his hand and patted his shoulder, pressing right on the spot where Lu Jin was injured.

Lu Jin felt a piercing pain sweep across his entire body from his shoulder, and at the same time, Zhao Xuan's voice rang out:
"So, you plan to contact someone in the prison after being arrested by the original organization."

"And this person possesses extremely important intelligence, which you want to obtain?"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan chuckled and shook his head, confirming that this was indeed the case, and he was even more speechless.

"That's a good idea, but don't think about it again. Oh, I forgot, you probably won't have a next time."

After Zhao Xuan returned to his seat, Aizawa Keiko and Yamayuichi looked over:

"Zhao Sang (Ah Xuan), is the interrogation over?"

Zhao Xuan nodded seriously:

"This is over, let's go check out the other one."

Aizawa Keiko didn't press further, but simply nodded and smiled:

"The other one is the one Xiaoya met at the coffee shop yesterday."

Zhao Xuan's expression was solemn:

"I'll ask."

“Ah Xuan, that’s not what I meant.”

Zhao Xuan looked down at Lan Zehuizi sitting in the chair:

"I know, but I still need to ask clearly."

Yamayu Kazuo snorted. "We haven't even figured things out here, what's the point of asking over there?"

Yamayuu Kazuo felt that the previous rumors were somewhat exaggerated. He didn't believe Zhao Xuan's questioning was so mysterious and that he didn't think Zhao Xuan could get any information out of him.

After leaving interrogation room number one, standing in the gloomy corridor, Zhao Xuan looked at Lan Zehuizi and asked:

What was the condition of the original prison cells?

"Also, have any prisoners recently been transferred from Nanjing to their original authorities?"

Yamayuu looked directly at Aizawa Keiko, who made no attempt to hide anything from Zhao Xuan and said directly:

"Yes, on the very night that the original staff of the Huamao Hotel were wiped out by the Military Intelligence Bureau, a group of criminals were transported from Nanjing. Those criminals were taken over by Ito Heiji, a capable subordinate of Doi Madoka."

Hearing this, Yamayu Kazuo looked at Aizawa Keiko awkwardly:

"Ahem, Section Chief, Zhao already knows that Ito Heiji is one of your people."

Aizawa Keiko blushed and quickly looked at Zhao Xuan, only to find him looking at her with a teasing smile. Aizawa Keiko immediately turned back and glared fiercely at Yama Yuichio:
"I'll tell Ah Xuan about this. Who gave you the right to do this?!"

Yamayu Kazuo felt greatly wronged, as it was clearly Zhao Xuan who had guessed it himself.

“Keiko, don’t make things difficult for Yamaka-kun. It was my guess. After all, among the people around Doi-man, after Kawashima Ichiro’s death, the only one who could get the information that Kagesa gave to Doi-man is probably Ito Heiji.”

"Ah Xuan, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Standing to the side, Yamayu Kazuo saw Aizawa Keiko speaking to Zhao Xuan like a little wife and felt that the things the chairman had asked him to do were too difficult. With this attitude of offering herself up, how could he stop her?

Aizawa Keiko also realized that her heart was beating faster and faster, and quickly changed the subject:

"Wait, Ah Xuan, you're asking about this? Could it be that this underground party member from Nanjing is really after one of those criminals?"

"It's not certain yet. Let's go meet another brilliant strategist!"

Soon, the three arrived at interrogation room number two.

Sun Ying, codenamed "The Whistleman," was bound to the torture chair. Later, he was beaten even more severely, his body covered in blood, and his condition was extremely poor.

Seeing Sun Ying's miserable state, Yamayu Kazuo nodded in satisfaction and looked at the agent in charge of the interrogation, asking:

"So, what did you get out of them?"

The agent in charge of the interrogation immediately bowed his head.
"I'm sorry, sir, this die-hard is too tight-lipped. We haven't been able to get any useful information out of him. So far, apart from screaming, he hasn't said a single word."

Yamayu Kazuo's smile gradually faded, and he raised his hand to slap the spy across the face.

"Baka! You beat someone up like this without getting anything out of them?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir!"

"Hmph, get out of my way!"

Yamayuu felt ashamed. Although he didn't say it outright, he asked as soon as he came in, clearly wanting to tell Zhao Xuan what interrogation was.

Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehui smiled at each other:
"Go away, Mr. Yamao, let Ah-Xuan ask him instead."

As a bucket of cold water was poured over Sun Ying, the confused Sun Ying instantly regained consciousness.

Seeing that a different person had come to interrogate him, Sun Ying, his face covered in blood, gave a cold laugh.

Upon seeing this, Yamayu Kazuo wished he could just go over and skin him alive.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan pretended to organize his notes. After he finished, Zhao Xuan looked up at Sun Ying, who was on the torture chair:

"It's alright if you don't tell me, your comrade from Nanjing has already confessed."

"The night before, a batch of criminals were sent from Nanjing and taken over by the original authorities. One of them has something important in his possession. Your task is to find this person, find out where the item is, and then find a way to pass the intelligence out and find that item."

"Is he right?"

Sun Ying's expression changed drastically, and both Lan Zehui and Yama Yuichi couldn't help but gasp. Judging from their expressions, Zhao Xuan had guessed correctly!

Zhao Xuan remained calm and spoke slowly again:
"But you don't know who that person is, so the first thing you need to do is sneak into the original agency's prison, find that person, and find out the situation?"

Sun Ying swallowed hard, his eyes bloodshot, glaring angrily at Zhao Xuan.

"Don't glare at me, that's what your comrade in Nanjing said."

"You seem pretty stubborn. It's okay, someone will speak for you. I'm just here to tell you that not everyone is as stubborn as you."

"Of course, he may not have told us everything, which is why I came here to give you a chance to tell me: are you unsure of that person's identity, or are you already certain?"

"If you know, tell me who it is. If you do, the Special Higher Police will treat you well and give you a sum of money to ensure you'll be well-fed and clothed for the rest of your life. How about it?"

Sun Ying cried out, ignoring his injuries, and shouted as he wept:

"Traitor! Traitor!!"

Zhao Xuan closed the blank notebook, slowly stood up, walked to Sun Ying's side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Alright, don't get so worked up. Just tell me who the person you're looking for is, and I guarantee that after you tell me, you'll not only live, but you'll also get a lot of money."

"Right, Section Chief?"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan turned to look at Lan Zehuizi.

Lan Zehuizi was now looking at Zhao Xuan with shining eyes, never expecting that this unbelievable interrogation method would actually be effective.

“That’s right, this is an advisor to our Special Higher Police. What he said is exactly what I mean. You can rest assured to tell us everything you know.”

When Zhao Xuan patted his shoulder, Sun Ying felt a piercing pain sweep through his body, but he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Zhao Xuan had deliberately patted his wound.

"You're dreaming! Everything he said is a lie, a complete lie, hahaha!"

Seeing Sun Ying, who was emotionally agitated and shouting hoarsely, Zhao Xuan shook his head and went back.

In Zhao Xuan's view, Sun Ying was indeed a good comrade, but unfortunately, he had too little experience in struggle. He could easily judge the authenticity of intelligence from his behavior with just a little trickery.

Zhao Xuan couldn't understand how the organization could trust such a passionate young man to infiltrate Shanghai.
Secretary Sun's side is really speechless. They even sent Xiao Bai out to carry out a mission. Is there no one left in the underground party in Shanghai?

Turning back to Sun Ying, Zhao Xuan's expression turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Yesterday, you met a girl in a black dress and a knitted hat at a coffee shop on Fuzhou Road. Was she your contact?"

Sun Ying was startled for a moment, then glared at Zhao Xuan with a cold smile:

"You are my contact person!"

Zhao Xuan steadied himself by holding onto the table, looking at Sun Ying with a mocking smile, and said with extreme sarcasm:

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, her name is Dao Ya, and she's my sister-in-law."

Sun Ying was completely stunned. Thinking of that arrogant and domineering little brat from yesterday, Sun Ying struggled and twisted his body, shouting loudly:
"That's right, she's my contact person. Arrest her! Arrest her!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan, Lan Zehuizi, and Yamayu Kazuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhao Xuan really wanted to laugh, feeling like he was teasing a child.

Now that all the problems were solved, Zhao Xuan looked at Lan Zehuizi beside him:
"That's roughly how it is. They probably know about that person. Keep interrogating him and get the information out of him."

"Of course, we can't rely on them alone."

Lan Zehui stood up, looked at Zhao Xuan and smiled:

“Then let’s investigate this as well, Mr. Yamano. I’ll leave the subsequent interrogation of these two to you.”

"Don't worry, Section Chief. Zhao Sang has already helped us get so much information. Please leave this last bit of valuable information to me!"

After leaving the dungeon, Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehui returned to the section chief's office.

"Ah Xuan, it's so late, I wonder if Xiao Ya has eaten alone at home. I feel bad for Xiao Ya yesterday."

Zhao Xuan snorted and said with a serious expression:
"That brat is arrogant and domineering, always causing trouble. She needs to be taught a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zehui grabbed Zhao Xuan's arm immediately:
"Alright, Xiaoya is still a child. She'll grow up. Besides, her sister is the section chief of No. 76, her brother-in-law is the intelligence advisor of the Special Higher Police, and she also has me, her sister who is the section chief. What's wrong with being a little arrogant?"

"Sigh, you guys just spoil her!"

Knowing when to stop, Lan Zehui released Zhao Xuan's hand and smiled sweetly:
“I will investigate the key figures among those criminals. Ah Xuan, you go back and keep Xiao Ya company. At this hour, that girl is probably starving and ready to rebel.”

Zhao Xuan smiled helplessly:

"You underestimate her. Sato Kei's sister from the Military Police Headquarters is her best friend. Yesterday, this little girl got her hands on a pass to enter and exit the Special Higher Police apartment complex. At this time of year, she's probably out having some fun again."

"But I should go back now. I've been working overtime for so long, if she's not back by then, I'll give her a piece of my mind tonight!"

After watching Zhao Xuan leave, Lan Zehuizi couldn't help but chuckle.

Walking back to her desk, Aizawa Keiko picked up the phone and dialed:
"Aizawa Keiko of the Special Higher Police."

"Do you know the location of the original prison? If not, find out its location and report back to me immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Aizawa Keiko dialed another number:
Did Daoya leave the apartment complex today?

"Where did you go?"

"okay, I get it."

Lan Zehui shook her head and smiled. Just as Zhao Xuan said, she was a wild girl who went crazy everywhere.

She had been warned not to touch those drugs, yet she still dared to go to Sato Ai today and then went looking for buyers. She's incredibly bold.

However, last night, Aizawa Keiko had already investigated and found out that Ida Koji was also doing this business. In order to shut Sato Kei up, Ida Koji allowed Sato Ai to participate and assigned them a small portion to manage.

With Koji Ida in charge, Keiko Aizawa knew that Ai Sato and Toa would be fine.

If anyone dares to mess with them, or buys something without paying, the Military Police Headquarters will probably have to teach them a lesson.

As for the matter that Sato Kei asked her to do, Aizawa Keiko didn't take it to heart at all.

By sealing off Sato Ai and Toa's warehouse, wouldn't that offend Koji Ida?

How could Aizawa Keiko do such a thing? Besides, it would be good for Daoya to do some business, so that she could protect her to some extent.

Now, Aizawa Keiko has realized that if she wants to win over Zhao Xuan, she must take a roundabout route, and Dao Ya is the best breakthrough point.

I'm not afraid of Daoya causing trouble, I'm afraid of Daoya not causing trouble.

If Lan Zehuizi causes trouble, she can smooth things over and also gain favor with Dao Ya. In the future, Dao Ya might even be needed to help Zhao Xuan.

Villa No. 3, Special Higher Police Apartment Complex.

As soon as Zhao Xuan entered the room, he saw Dao Ya sitting on the sofa tending to her injuries.

Seeing Dao Ya's tearful eyes, Zhao Xuan felt a pang of heartache.
"What, did your masters do this?"

Dao Ya pouted, not answering Zhao Xuan's question, and continued to wipe the bruises on her arm with iodine.

Zhao Xuan stepped forward, took the cotton swab from Dao Ya, and began to clean her wound.

"What was the training like today? How did you end up with so many injuries?"

"Combat, stealth, and disguise."

Only now does Dao Ya realize how much effort is required to get into this line of work.

After training today, Dao Ya felt sore all over. After treating her injuries, Dao Ya looked at Zhao Xuan expectantly and asked:

"Brother-in-law, my sister is such a skilled fighter, didn't she suffer even more injuries back then?"

Zhao Xuan nodded solemnly:

"Now you know why Ayan and your uncle didn't want you to go into this line of work, right?"

Dao Ya smiled; she had thought some things through very clearly.

In this kind of world, nothing is more important than the gun. No matter what you do in the future, you must have the ability to protect yourself.

“Brother-in-law, things have stabilized at the warehouse now, and the factory can start production at any time. It’s just that we still need to prepare the equipment for the fermentation technology.”

"Go to the study later. I've compiled the penicillin technology and fermentation technology. Go and take a look yourself."

"As long as things are stable at the warehouse, the factory can operate smoothly. The first batch of penicillin can be produced in a month at most. That's when we'll really make money. But Xiaoya, give me a hint: how much of the continuous supply of penicillin will you keep for yourself?"

Daoya frowned and thought carefully for a while before solemnly saying:
“Brother-in-law, Xiao Ai told me that the Central China Theater is about to start fighting. I want to stockpile a batch of penicillin and sell it to the high-ranking officers of the National Revolutionary Army at a high price. Brother-in-law, you don’t know, many generals in the National Revolutionary Army, from the theater commanders down to a small platoon leader, are engaged in smuggling.”

"It's free money if we don't make it."

Dao Ya originally thought Zhao Xuan wouldn't agree, but to her surprise, Zhao Xuan actually nodded.

"Brother-in-law, aren't we from the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Zhao Xuan gave a cold snort that was neither a smile nor a laugh:
"Just because they're from the Military Intelligence Bureau, they have to make a fortune. Do you know about today's arrest of Military Intelligence Bureau members?"

Dao Ya shook her head, and Zhao Xuan told her everything that had happened that day.

They learned that the Military Intelligence Bureau was using its infiltration of Shanghai to help high-ranking officials in Chongqing smuggle and sell opium, and even using secret channels for transmitting intelligence to transport money.

If Zhao Xuan hadn't said it himself, Dao Ya wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

After all, in Dao Ya's view, her sister and brother-in-law were both members of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and they were both very capable. If such people could risk their lives for the Military Intelligence Bureau, then the Military Intelligence Bureau must be different from those high-ranking officials.

Now, Daoya was greatly disappointed. The red sapling in her heart seemed to have absorbed nutrients and quickly grew taller.

Although Dao Ya had many chaotic thoughts in her mind, and Zhao Xuan felt tormented every time he used the dialysis mode, he was still quite gratified this time when he learned of Dao Ya's conclusion comparing the Military Intelligence Bureau with the underground party. Dao Ya should grow up like this; the day she naturally comes, Dao Ya will surely be an ace in the underground party's hand.

Now, Zhao Xuan is more worried about Dao Yan.

Dao Yan's life and studies from a young age have made her extremely loyal to the Party and the country. In addition, with the influence of her teacher, Chen Chuyin, it will be a long and arduous task to bring Dao Yan into the camp of the Red Party.

Especially after today's events, although Dao Yan harbors considerable resentment towards the Party and the State, he probably won't have any other thoughts.

As long as Chen Chuyin remains in the Military Intelligence Bureau, Dao Yan will never be completely disappointed with it.

Meanwhile, at No. 18 Shanyin Road, Hongkou District.

Madam Lin, the leader of the Green Gang, was squatting in front of Watanabe Kyoko.

When Madam Lin, who was middle-aged but still charming, met Watanabe Kyoko for the first time, she truly witnessed the terror of this woman.

"President, I've done everything I can. There's nothing I can do about those who follow Mr. Gu, but I can guarantee that they won't have any further involvement with Tu Feiyuan."

"Today, several elders of the Green Gang have gone to see Doiyu and severed all ties. We hope that Mrs. Watanabe will stop making things difficult for the Green Gang. The Osaka Chamber of Commerce has had a huge impact on the Green Gang. If this continues, we will both suffer losses."

Kyoko Watanabe poured a cup of tea for Madam Lin with a smile:

“Miss Lin, as you know, your business has suffered a lot since the Green Gang sided with Tu Feiyuan. Tu Feiyuan is not a good businessman. I believe that only by leading the Green Gang to cooperate with our Osaka Chamber of Commerce can things develop in a positive direction. What do you say?”

Madam Lin sighed. Since entering the wolf's den of the Japanese, how could the Green Gang possibly develop healthily? Madam Lin only hoped that the Green Gang's decline could be slowed down.

"Mrs. Watanabe is right. After the Green Gang is established, we will definitely cooperate well with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as Madam Lin finished speaking, Kyoko Watanabe said with a smile:

"As for Mr. Gu, Mrs. Lin, I think the Green Gang only needs one person in charge."

Madam Lin was slightly taken aback, and stared at Kyoko Watanabe for a long time without saying a word.

Although she was the head of the Green Gang, there were very few people who listened to her after her ex-husband, Boss Huang, died.

On the contrary, Mr. Gu is very skilled at winning people's hearts and making money.

If we were to deal with Mr. Gu now, more than 80% of the Green Gang members would not agree.

But the next second, Mrs. Lin was completely stunned, staring wide-eyed at Watanabe Kyoko in disbelief:

"Mrs. Watanabe, what do you mean?"

Watanabe Kyoko's lips curled up slightly, and seeing that foxy smile, Madam Lin's heart jumped into her throat.

“It seems Miss Lin has thought it through. That’s right, the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Gu have a very pleasant cooperation, so I hope that you will also hand over all the power in your hands to Mr. Gu.”

Good grief, they've crossed the river and then burned the bridge.

She had just finished getting the old men of the Green Gang to sever ties with Tu Feiyuan, and she had almost used up all her favors.

As a result, Kyoko Watanabe said that the Green Gang only needed one person in charge, and was about to kick her aside.

In other words, Kyoko Watanabe has been using her all along, and now she has no more use to her.

If we don't agree to Kyoko Watanabe's request today, she probably won't be able to leave this office building.

Swallowing hard, Madam Lin looked at Watanabe Kyoko with a sorrowful expression.

"Mrs. Watanabe, I'd like to know when Mr. Gu first made contact with you?"

Kyoko Watanabe shook her head:

"Actually, no, but I need him to sit in that position because only with him will other people's attention not be focused on the other forces of the Green Gang, such as this one."

As Watanabe Kyoko took a document from under the low table and pushed it in front of her, Madam Lin opened it with a puzzled look.

This contains a business plan and a list.

Kyoko Watanabe is actually going to assemble a team of secret agents, including everyone from the major 76th Division, the various puppet army units and entertainment venues to ordinary people.

“Miss Lin, didn’t you say that the Osaka Chamber of Commerce has had a great impact on the Green Gang’s business? That’s right. People will make different choices if they are given enough benefits.”

"These people are members of the Green Dragon Society. They will be in your hands from now on. They are all from the Green Gang, so it will be much easier for Miss Lin to manage them. Please don't let me down."

Mrs. Lin's hands were trembling as she held the documents; what a vast intelligence network this was!

Only a company as wealthy and powerful as the Osaka Chamber of Commerce could afford to weave such a thing.

And now, Kyoko Watanabe has actually handed this net over to me.

"Yes, Mrs. Watanabe, no, Chairman!"

Mountain City, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Mao Shu stood in Boss Dai's office, sweating profusely, while Boss Dai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"The Shanghai station has been taken down, and the channels have been cut off. Secretary Mao, is this what you guaranteed to be foolproof?"

"Was that batch of items taken by the Special Higher Police, or by someone else? Can your subordinates still be trusted?"

"Also, how was the location of the Shanghai station exposed? Secretary Mao, you'd better give me an explanation."

Mao Shu swallowed hard. The losses this time were too great. Not only him, but also Boss Dai, the people from the staff and other departments stationed in Shanghai were all wiped out in a single day.

Mao Shu doesn't believe there wasn't a mole in this matter.

To accomplish this task, Mao Shu believed that the biggest mole was Chen Chuyin. However, the problem was that he had only asked Zhou Zhicheng to find a way to restrain Chen Chuyin, but that idiot had actually exposed the location of the Shanghai Station without authorization.

As a result, Director Chen did nothing wrong, but he offended everyone in various departments.

The Shanghai Metro Station has now become a one-man show run by Chen Chuyin.

Of course, none of these things concern Mao Shu. What troubles Mao Shu the most right now is that the channels have been cut off, the local specialties have been stolen, and he doesn't even know who stole them.
The most embarrassing thing is that the hillbilly that Mao Shu specially arranged to suppress the yucca and agave in Shanghai died.

Now, Mao Shu can't even find out what's going on with yucca and agave in Shanghai, which makes him very unhappy.

"Director, rest assured, I will definitely reopen the channels within a month at most. This time, we can't get involved with the Shanghai station again. Now that I think about it, it seems that Director Chen has been eliminating people inside the Shanghai station, but we have absolutely no evidence."

Boss Dai looked at Mao Shu with a sinister gaze.

This guy made a lot of mistakes during his tenure. Why didn't Boss Dai dismiss him and investigate him? The reason is simple: because this guy knows how to make money and has a good wife.

The mere thought of Yingxin made Boss Dai feel a surge of heat throughout his body.
"Mao Shu, this is your last chance. If you can't do it, there are plenty of people who will take your place."

"Get lost, and bring the third brother over here."

After leaving the bureau chief's office, Mao Shu casually instructed someone to call Shen Xing, while he returned to his office and made a phone call to summon a team of people.

Four men in gray-green military uniforms stood in Mao Shu's office until Mao Shu finished his work and then looked up at the six men.

"Go to Shanghai. Everything you need to do is in this file folder. Once you arrive in Shanghai, take care of everything mentioned in the folder first, and then I will give you instructions personally."

"Su Peng!"

"To!"

Su Peng, the leader of the six, stood ramrod straight, his resolute face and piercing gaze fixed on Mao Shu.

"Once we arrive in Shanghai, we'll contact Yuweilan. That's how we make contact."

After speaking, Mao Shu took another box from the drawer and pushed it in front of the desk:
"Here are ten large yellow croakers as your activity funds. Remember, once you arrive in Shanghai, follow the instructions in this document."

Not long after the six men left Maoshu after receiving their orders, a clerk from the Telecommunications Department rushed over in a panic.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

This man was recruited to the Telecommunications Department by Mao Shu, and he was extremely loyal to Mao Shu.

Luo Dalin, a handsome clerk in the telecommunications department, looked nervously at Mao Shu:

"Sir, something bad has happened. We just received a telegram from the Shanghai station. The station chief wants to transfer Fengweilan to his command."

Mao Shu jumped up immediately, not wanting to listen to anything else, and hurriedly ran towards Boss Dai's office.

Soon, Mao Shu arrived at the Director's office and saw Boss Dai looking at the telegram with a furrowed brow, while Shen Xing was leisurely sitting on the sofa, drinking tea alone.

Upon seeing Mao Shu arrive, Shen Xing let out a cold laugh.

"Secretary Mao, what brings you here? I just got in touch with Youhu and was thinking of reviewing the previous intelligence, but I didn't expect the Director to just tell me that there's no need to review it anymore."

Mao Shu glared at Shen Xing, then quickly looked at Boss Dai:

"Director, what does Chen Chuyin mean? He actually wants to transfer Fengweilan to his subordinates. Doesn't he understand the importance of Fengweilan?!"

Boss Dai gave a casual reply, then tossed the telegram in his hand onto the table:

"Well, take a look at this telegram first."

Mao Shu stepped forward, full of doubt, and picked up the telegram to read it.

A few seconds later, Mao Shu, filled with righteous indignation, crumpled the telegram into a ball:
"Director, we can't agree to this! Fengweilan's position is very important; how can she be transferred to Chen Chuyin's command?"

Boss Dai lit a cigarette, looking at the furious Mao Shu with a half-smile:
“They are master and apprentice. Besides, Chen Chuyin made it very clear that it’s okay not to send Fengweilan, but the Shanghai station has been destroyed and needs funds to rebuild. If Fengweilan can help him, then he can find a way to get the funds himself. If he doesn’t go, then headquarters will solve it for him.”

"Secretary Mao, then what do you suggest we do?!"

Mao Shu was filled with hatred. Now, Mao Shu was quite certain that the batch of goods in Shisanpu must have been taken away by Chen Chuyin, otherwise Chen Chuyin would not have dared to say such a thing.

But since there was no evidence and these items were something that couldn't be brought to light, Mao Shu naturally didn't dare to say it in front of Shen Xing.

After gritting his teeth, Mao Shu forced himself to speak:

"Director, then give him the funding. Rebuilding Shanghai Station definitely needs the support of headquarters."

Boss Dai snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on Mao Shu with a sinister look:

"Tell me, how many times has Shanghai Metro Station been rebuilt in the past few months?! Huh?!"

"Each reconstruction requires funding. What, do you think my Military Intelligence Bureau's money grows on trees?"

"Also, tell me, how long has Phoenix Tail Orchid been under your command? How many of the tasks she's accomplished can compare to Young Tiger's?"

"Alright, this matter is settled. From now on, Phoenix Tail Orchid will be working at Shanghai Station. Don't have any other ideas in mind, otherwise, if you anger Chen Chuyin, you'll have to find a way to clean up the mess yourself."

Soon, Mao Shu was kicked out of the office by Boss Dai, and only then did Shen Xing get up and walk to his desk:
"Director, the Phoenix Tail Orchid is being taken away by Shanghai Station. It seems that Chen Chuyin is preparing to make a big move."

Boss Dai nodded:
“I used to turn a blind eye to the internal affairs of the Shanghai station under Director Chen’s leadership. Now that the Shanghai station has been purged by him, if he can’t produce any decent achievements, he won’t be able to continue as the station chief.”

"Third brother, you cooperated well last time. This Mao Shu needs to be taught a lesson!"

Mao Shu, that green-haired turtle, actually dared to associate with Kong Bu, Tang Zuo, and even Gui Shuiqing behind his back.

If we don't teach him a lesson, will the Military Intelligence Bureau listen to Boss Dai or Secretary Mao in the future?

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing said angrily:

"Director, I can't control other places, but we absolutely cannot have such a black sheep within our Military Intelligence Bureau. This time, Secretary Mao has been taught a lesson, and I hope he will not make such a mistake again in the future."

Mr. Dai smiled and nodded, saying they would talk about the future later.

Mao Shu's greatest skill was marrying a "good wife," otherwise, how could he have such a wide social circle?
Boss Dai doesn't actually object to Mao Shu doing business. The reason he's trying to scam Mao Shu this time is because this guy doesn't follow the rules in business.

If it weren't for this incident, Boss Dai wouldn't have known that Mao Shu's influence had already extended to Kong Bu and Tang Zuo.

In a European-style manor behind the Garden Restaurant on Rue Pétain in the French Concession of Shanghai, Chen Chuyin smiled as he looked at the telegram he had just received.

"Xiao Dao, Zhi Li, the Shancheng side has agreed. I also want to thank Zhi Li for sending the gifts this time, otherwise my Shanghai station wouldn't dare to put on such a grand show."

Dao Yan looked at Zhu Zhili with delight:
"Zhili, are you relieved now?"

Zhu Zhili nodded with a gentle smile:
"Thank you, stationmaster."

Chen Chuyin smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"I should be thanking you two for coming to Shanghai Station to help me this time."

At this moment, Dao Yan was truly happy. Working under a teacher meant she would have much less to worry about.

"Teacher, I wish you had transferred us here sooner."

Chen Chuyin shook his head and smiled:
"It wouldn't have been possible to do it earlier. When I first took over the Shanghai station, I already noticed the problems within it. It took me several months to resolve all the internal issues. Now is the best time."

"Of course, once the internal issues are resolved, it's time to put our skills to use. You two take a look at this document first."

"Also, Xiao Dao, stop hiding your abilities. As your teacher, I know what you're capable of."

Dao Yan smiled, nodded slightly, and took the document. She and Zhu Zhili then carefully examined it.

Gradually, their eyebrows furrowed and their expressions became serious.

"Teacher, is it really okay for you to do it this way?"

Zhu Zhili opened her mouth, unable to believe that Chen Chuyin was so bold.

"In the Military Intelligence Bureau, I only trust Lao San. If Mao Shu dares to lay a finger on me, I'll chop him off!!!"

"Besides, this opportunity is very rare. I would feel it would be a pity to give it up."

After speaking, Director Chen looked at Fu Zhengguo, who was sitting to the side drinking coffee and reading a newspaper:

“Old Fu, don’t just sit there. Come here. You need to follow up on this matter carefully. Xiao Dao is capable, but he’s too young and inexperienced. You need to fill in the gaps.”

Fu Zhengguo smiled calmly and walked over with the coffee in his hand.

After glancing at the documents in Dao Yan's hand, Fu Zhengguo, though he had expected this, still looked helplessly at Chen Chuyin:
"Station manager, if you really do this, there will be big problems later, especially at your own risk."

Director Chen said with a serious expression:

"Old Fu, you don't understand. Although the negotiations in Nanjing haven't ended yet, I estimate it won't be long."

"If this plan is not carried out, once Shadowsaw takes over Shanghai, No. 76 will become a complete puppet, and it will be pointless for Little Knife to be lurking inside."

Speaking of this...

Chen Chuyin smiled as he looked at Dao Yan:
"Xiao Dao, your husband has a long-term vision. This time, he seems to have suffered a big setback at the hands of Tu Feiyuan, but he has managed to escape the quagmire of No. 76."

"Didn't you try to win him over before? How's it going? If Zhao Xuan can join the Military Intelligence Bureau and our Shanghai station, given his position in the Special Higher Police and in Lan Zehui's eyes, he can definitely be a great help to us."

Dao Yan handed all the documents in her hand to Zhu Zhili, and said with a wry smile:

"Teacher, I don't know what's going on either. Zhao Xuan already knows who I am, but he said..."

After Dao Yan finished explaining the situation, both Fu Zhengguo and Chen Chuyin changed color.

“This Zhao Xuan is terrifying if he is an enemy! Station Chief, if Xiao Dao cannot turn him to the side, we must eliminate him as soon as possible. Keeping such a person in Shanghai is a disaster for us.”

As Chen Chuyin tapped his fingers on the table, the sound drew everyone's attention.

Dao Yan said somewhat anxiously:

“Deputy stationmaster, I don’t think Ah Xuan would betray me. He’s just greedy, just like my sister.”

Chen Chuyin waved his hand, interrupting Dao Yan:
"I will consider this matter. For the time being, Zhao Xuan will not do anything to you. Right now, the key is to carry out the power seizure plan."

Zhu Zhili understood that this plan had to be carried out.

After reading the document, Zhu Zhili said with a solemn expression:

"Station Master, I accept this mission, but it's too dangerous for you!"

Chen Chuyin chuckled:
"In our line of work, nothing is safe."

"It's a done deal that Yingzuo will be stationed in Shanghai. We absolutely cannot let 76 fall completely into his hands."

After Zhu Zhili and Dao Yan left, Fu Zhengguo sat down in front of Chen Chuyin with a worried expression and asked:

"Old Chen, there are too many variables in this matter, and with Zhao Xuan being such an unstable factor, can Xiao Dao really handle it?"

"This person will probably see through our plan."

Chen Chuyin, still smiling, said:

"Isn't this also a test for me? If he doesn't participate at all, or even helps Xiaodao cover for him, then this person can be kept. Otherwise, let's get rid of him as soon as possible, no matter what the cost."

Fu Zhengguo sighed, knowing he couldn't change Chen Chuyin's decision, and then said:
"What about Zhu Zhili?"
