Chapter 237 Ambush
Zheng Yi stared at Chen Chuyin in utter astonishment, and Fu Zhengguo was also stunned for a moment. Judging from Chen Chuyin's order, he intended to protect Dao Yan!
The master bedroom on the second floor of Villa No. 3 in the Special Higher Police apartment complex.
Dao Yan nestled in Zhao Xuan's arms, her beautiful eyes slightly hazy as she looked up at Zhao Xuan's chin.
"Ah Xuan, what can I do to save Zhi Li?"
Just as Zhao Xuan was taking a shower, Dao Yan received a call from Miao Xue.
Upon learning that Sun Ying had been released by Tu Feiyuan, Dao Yan realized that Zhu Zhili was in grave danger and could be killed at any moment.
As for whether Zhu Zhili will truly betray them, Dao Yan can confirm that she will not!
"The teacher must know about Sun Ying's situation. Knowing the teacher as I do, he will definitely suspect that Tu Feiyuan reached some kind of agreement with the people in Shancheng after Sun Ying was released."
"Furthermore, many people now know the reason for Zhili's betrayal, and the people in Shancheng will definitely punish her according to family law."
“If the mountain city doesn’t give the order to the Shanghai station to handle this matter, the teacher will likely deal with Zhili ahead of time, regardless of whether Zhili has betrayed him or not.”
Hearing Dao Yan's voice tremble slightly, Zhao Xuan gently patted Dao Yan's back.
"You mean, the stationmaster of Shanghai Station will abandon Zhu Zhili to protect you?"
Dao Yan scrambled to her feet, placed her hands on Zhao Xuan's shoulders, and nodded repeatedly as she looked down at him.
“That’s right, the teacher will definitely do that, and there’s a good chance that the people in Shancheng won’t let the Shanghai station carry out family discipline on Zhili. Ah Xuan, what can I do to save her?”
Seeing the gleaming, bare face of the woman standing right in front of him, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but swallow hard. Did this woman have no idea how alluring she was at that moment?
It must be said that the question raised by Dao Yan really stumped Zhao Xuan.
Given the current situation, Zhao Xuan could also foresee that Mao Shu would not let Zhu Zhili go.
Mao Shu was also involved with the interests of high-ranking Kuomintang officials, who would certainly not let go of Zhu Zhili, who had taken away the local specialties from the Shisanpu area of Xujiahui.
Once they were about to take action, Boss Dai had no choice but to give the order.
It can be said that Zhu Zhili is now in a dead end.
Even if Zhao Xuan manages to fake Zhu Zhili's death and escape, Zhu Zhili will never regain her identity. From now on, Zhu Zhili will truly become a ghost, and if she ever shows herself, she will undoubtedly die.
Unless, of course, she joins the underground Communist Party!
As soon as this thought arose, Zhao Xuan felt completely refreshed.
Perhaps, Zhu Zhili's joining the underground party will become the key for Dao Yan to join the underground party!
It seems that Zhu Zhili really needs to be saved.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan quickly grabbed the pajamas he had thrown on the bedside table and draped them over Dao Yan's shoulders the moment he got up.
Dao Yan then realized that she had just been standing there empty in front of Zhao Xuan, and her pretty face turned bright red.
Seeing Zhao Xuan sit up, Dao Yan, though somewhat shy, still looked directly at Zhao Xuan, waiting for him to come up with a solution.
“Ayan, have you ever thought that Zhu Zhili is now trapped in a dead end?”
Dao Yan trembled slightly. She just didn't want to think about it in this way, but after Zhao Xuan directly pointed it out, Dao Yan lowered her head.
Yes, even if Zhu Zhili escaped the Kuomintang's internal discipline this time, what about next time?
Given the current situation, neither the mountain city nor the teacher's side will let Zhu Zhili off the hook.
"unless!"
Hearing Zhao Xuan's tone change, Dao Yan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly looked up at Zhao Xuan again:
"Ah Xuan, unless what?"
"Unless Zhu Zhili switches to the Red Party and receives its protection."
Dao Yan was stunned, staring at Zhao Xuan with a complicated expression for a long while:
"Isn't there any other way, like going abroad?"
"Do you think that's possible? And do you think it's safe once you're abroad? The only way now is to send Zhu Zhili to the Red Party's side, preferably to get her to leave Shanghai and go to the Red Party's base. Otherwise, there's no way to talk about safety."
Dao Yan thought about it seriously for a while and realized that there really was only one way, as Zhao Xuan had suggested.
But even if Dao Yan agrees to do so, how can they find the underground party members? And how can they convince the underground party members that Zhu Zhili has truly defected to them?
The method is indeed a good one, but it is too difficult to implement, or even impossible.
“Ah Xuan, this is indeed a solution, but you should also know that to do this, we first need to persuade Zhi Li, which I can handle.”
"But then what? Where are we going to find members of the underground Communist Party? Even if we do, will they believe Zhili?"
Zhao Xuan reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind Dao Yan's ear, then chuckled softly:
"There is a way, leave it to me, but I might need Xiaoya's help with this."
"Xiaoya even knows people from the underground Communist Party?"
Dao Yan looked at Zhao Xuan in disbelief, while Zhao Xuan shook his head and smiled:
“I don’t know about that, but Xiaoya’s business now basically sells goods to either the Kuomintang or the Communist Party. If even Xiaoya’s side can’t be resolved, then Zhu Zhili’s situation will be left to fate.”
After hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Dao Yan's head was still buzzing. Her little sister was far too bold. Doing business was fine, but she actually dared to do business with the Kuomintang and the underground party.
"Ah Xuan, what kind of medicine is Xiao Ya selling? I heard Lan Zehui mention it last time, but you guys didn't tell me what she's selling."
"penicillin!"
These four words sent chills down Dao Yan's spine. Penicillin, now as valuable as gold, was being sold by Xiao Ya in such a way.
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on things. Also, with Aizawa Keiko's relationship with Sato Ai, Xiaoya will be fine."
Although Dao Yan was still worried, in order to save Zhu Zhili, she gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk.
Regardless of Zhu Zhili's final stance, Dao Yan only cares about her living!
After a night of deliberation, the Japanese cabinet finally made a decision regarding the Shanghai incident.
Just as Zhao Xuan guessed, Tobi played the cards of Horii Kazuo and Zhu Zhili, first pushing most of the responsibility onto the Military Police Headquarters, and finally pushing the remaining responsibility onto Suzuki Haruko through Zhu Zhili.
Based on the evidence provided by Doi-ma, the cabinet issued a statement criticizing Kagesa and took serious action against the Military Police Command.
Koji Ida was demoted from commander to acting commander. If he makes another mistake, he can pack his bags and go back to his hometown.
After the whole incident became clear, Koji Ida and Kagesa both realized that they had been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Doi-man.
The situation in Shanghai suddenly changed, and the former agency became the most powerful force in the city.
With Suzuki Haruko still hospitalized, Kagesa decided to send Ding Moqun back to Shanghai to take charge of the situation.
At the same time, the captured Nanjing underground party members were transferred to Nanjing as soon as possible, while Yingzuo remained in Nanjing to urge Wang Da to officially announce the establishment of the Wang government and smoothly assume the position of the Wang government's highest military advisor. Only after reaping the benefits of this move would Yingzuo come to Shanghai. The time was the end of January 1940, seven days before Chinese New Year's Eve.
After receiving Yingzuo's orders, Ding Moqun, along with Wang Ningyu, Ma Shangcheng, Wang Yiya, and others, escorted the arrested Nanjing underground party members back to Shanghai.
At the same time, the Special Higher Police's operation to destroy the Japanese currency templates at Eling failed again, and the kamikaze special forces that raided the Eling printing plant at night suffered heavy losses. The Central China Theater temporarily entered a ceasefire phase.
Inside the office of the head of the Special Higher Police Section on Wusong Road.
Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Xuan looked at Lan Zehuizi, who was sitting on the opposite sofa with a low mood, and said slowly:
"Huizi, judging from these failures, Eling's defenses are extremely strong. There are twenty anti-aircraft machine guns alone, making it impossible to break through from the outside."
"Moreover, Chongqing is the home ground of the National Revolutionary Army, and the infiltration of small groups of troops will not amount to much."
Aizawa Keiko bit her red lips tightly, nodded heavily, and then sighed:
"Ah Xuan, I don't have much time left. If I can't destroy that template soon, I, as the section chief, will really have to go home."
"Sometimes I really can't understand why we're always blamed for the problems that arise within the empire?"
Because that's politics!
Zhao Xuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Lan Zehuizi earnestly, saying:
"Huizi, although I shouldn't ask, I still want to know. It's difficult to break into the Eling Printing Factory from the outside, but there are opportunities from the inside. Don't you have any plans in that regard?"
Lan Zehui looked at Zhao Xuan for a while before smiling wryly:
"Yes, of course there are, but there's no way to exploit the situation at the Eling Printing Factory."
“My mother said she had a solution, but it’s been more than half a month and there’s still no progress. I think my mother is facing the same problem as me.”
At this point, Aizawa Keiko changed the subject:
"By the way, Ah Xuan, didn't you say you were going back today? Why are you here at the Special Higher Police again?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and said:
"This morning, Ayan received a call from her uncle. They are coming back today, so we have to go back for a family reunion dinner to welcome them back."
"However, I heard that your operation here failed again, so I came to check on you first."
Lan Zehui looked at Zhao Xuan with a gentle smile and nodded softly in reply:
"Ah Xuan, don't worry about this. There's always a way out. I'll figure something out."
An hour later, at apartment 27 Jessfield Road.
When Zhao Xuan returned, Dao Yan and Dao Ya were already busy in the kitchen.
I heard that Dao Yan took a day off to come back and cook a meal, so Dao Ya didn't even bother with her business today and rushed back excitedly.
Hearing the noise in the living room, Dao Yan poked her head out from the kitchen, smiled at Zhao Xuan, and said:
"Ah Xuan, Uncle has already set off. I'll prepare the dishes first, and we'll need to go out to buy some things later."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll rest for a bit."
After saying that, Zhao Xuan lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes, and immediately connected to the perspective of the nanobugs.
Liu Manping, who had been waiting outside for some time, finally received a call from Zhao Xuan, but it was a woman's voice on the other end.
After a period of adjustment, Liu Manping realized that the person who called her was Zhao Xuan's assistant, Edith.
This person is very mysterious, at least that's the impression Liu Manping got from Edith.
After hearing Edith's words, Liu Manping's beautiful eyes gleamed, and she immediately summoned He Daping and the others.
“Those of you arrested in Nanjing have already been escorted away by Ding Moqun. Now, everyone, listen to my orders.”
“The previously designated area number three, bet on mines. In half an hour, everyone must be hidden in the designated ambush positions.”
"Once the landmine explodes, immediately move in to rescue the person!"
As soon as Liu Manping finished speaking, Chen Manli quickly led a guerrilla team to Bulei.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan discovered an unexpected situation through the nanobugs.
There was actually a group of people lying in ambush on the road that Ding Moqun's convoy was bound to take.
After confirming the scan mode, Zhao Xuan felt rather helpless.
Although Zhao Xuan had long suspected that Tu Feiyuan might send someone to assassinate the group of underground party members that Yingzuo had captured, he was still somewhat surprised to actually see Yingzuo's people appear.
Because this group of people were not Japanese spies, but spies from the North, from the Youth League.
After confirming that it was this group of people, Zhao Xuan also figured out where Tu Feiyuan's trump card for turning the tide came from.
Kawashima Yunzi, Zhao Xuan actually forgot about this woman.
After locating the location of the original agency's spies, Zhao Xuan instructed Edith to control the nanobugs to head towards Ding Moqun's convoy.
Within minutes, Ding Moqun's convoy appeared in the nano-flying insects' field of vision.
(Edith, scan mode, dialysis mode!)
There were twelve vehicles, including four military trucks and eight sedans.
Using both scanning and dialysis modes, Zhao Xuan was dumbfounded. There were no arrested Nanjing underground party members inside. Instead, the truck bed, covered by an oilcloth, was filled with agents under Ying Zuo and Zhou Lifu, all armed with light machine guns.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan gasped.
Fortunately, we chose to check on Ding Moqun's situation first. Otherwise, if Liu Manping had acted according to plan and encountered them, she would probably have been bitten to death.
(Edith, immediately contact Liu Manping, suspend the operation, and await my further orders.)
After having Edith contact Liu Manping, Zhao Xuan then had the nanobugs continue to scout the route that Ding Moqun's convoy had taken.
About five kilometers away from Ding Moqun's convoy, a black Buick sedan was followed by a military truck.
Zhao Xuan had assumed this was the prison van where the arrested Nanjing underground party members were located.
The scan revealed a group of fully armed spies inside!
Zhao Xuan almost couldn't help but swear.
(Edith, switch the perspective of the nanobug to the viewpoint of the nanobug overlooking Nanjing, and at the same time, replay all the footage from the past three hours.)
Images flashed through Zhao Xuan's mind. Edith quickly scanned the images and accurately located three images based on the keywords Zhao Xuan provided.
The first is that Ding Moqun led a convoy away from Nanjing. From this, we can see that within two hours after Ding Moqun left, no vehicles that seemed to be escorting prisoners drove out of Nanjing.
The second incident occurred when Ding Moqun left Yingzuo's mansion, when a team of special agents escorted the military vehicle away.
The third scene shows the destination of those military trucks: Nanjing Railway Station!
