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

Chapter 250 Eight o'clock
Sato He nodded quickly:
“That’s right, Zhao Sang, please sit down. With your assistance, Chunzi will definitely be able to conduct the interrogation smoothly.”

Wang Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on the torture chair.

Wang Shuyu knew that biting her tongue to commit suicide was not a way to die.

If it weren't for the need to buy time, Wang Shuyu would have just wanted to die quickly the moment she was cornered.

After the interrogators changed, Wang Shuyu opened her eyes and looked at Song Rong and Zhao Xuan.

When Zhao Xuan met Wang Shuyu's gaze, he could see the boundless hatred she harbored for him.

Under dialysis, Zhao Xuan also understood where Wang Shuyu's hatred for him came from.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the Fisherwoman, aren't you?"

"Code name: Fisherwoman. So, can you tell me your name?"

Wang Shuyu was taken aback, but when she thought about what Uncle Sun had told her that morning, she wasn't so surprised.

It seems that his code name was indeed revealed by Sun Ying.

Sitting next to Song Rong, Zhao Xuan had a general understanding of Song Rong's interrogation methods.

By exploiting the information gap, they broke Wang Shuyu's composure and then painstakingly extracted information from her.

Seeing Wang Shuyu looking at her calmly, Song Rong revealed a foxy smile:
"It's alright if you don't want to say anything. I've already sent people over to the boutique pastry shops on Fuzhou Road. By now, the pastry shops should be surrounded."

Wang Shuyu's heart sank, but she still looked at Song Rong with a calm expression.

"It seems you've guessed it. That's right, Xue Dou has already told us everything he knows. So under these circumstances, I don't understand what benefit it would bring you to resist stubbornly?"

Wang Shuyu smiled, a rare occurrence, and spat at Song Rong with a sarcastic tone:
"Clumsy tactics!"

Song Rong frowned slightly, and Zhao Xuan spoke up at this moment:

"Your decision to speak out proves that while you trust the woodcutter, you are not sure if he has truly betrayed you."

“Here I can tell you definitively that the woodcutter did not betray us.”

Song Rong was startled and looked at Zhao Xuan with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. Wang Shuyu also looked at Zhao Xuan with puzzlement.

Telling herself this only strengthened her resolve not to reveal a single piece of information.
Yamayuu Kazuo trusted Zhao Xuan a lot. Even though Zhao Xuan revealed a trump card, Yamayuu Kazuo still felt that it was part of Zhao Xuan's plan.

Sato He's face darkened, and he wanted to question Zhao Xuan about why he had given such important information to the enemy, but since Aoki Junko didn't ask, Sato He also held back from speaking.

Zhao Xuan smiled and said:

Are you curious why I'm telling you this?

Wang Shuyu looked at Zhao Xuan, her anger lessening and replaced by curiosity and confusion.

"I just want to tell you that even if the woodcutter doesn't say anything, we can still find out that the boutique pastry shop is your contact point."

"And the fact that you still have this idea of ​​stalling for time proves that you are not sure whether all the underground party members in the boutique pastry shop have been transferred, or whether the important information there has been taken away or destroyed."

Wang Shuyu's face turned somewhat frightened as she looked at Zhao Xuan in disbelief. She felt as if this guy could read her mind; he had actually read all her thoughts.

As expected, the butler's insistence was correct; such a dangerous enemy must be eliminated as soon as possible.

After understanding Wang Shuyu's inner thoughts, Zhao Xuan frowned slightly:
"You're not thinking about how to kill me right now, are you?"

Wang Shuyu was stunned when she heard this, and Zhao Xuan was also a little numb, because from Wang Shuyu's thoughts, Zhao Xuan had already learned that Shi Yinong was leading more than 20 second-line comrades to ambush and kill him on the only road from the military police headquarters to Wusong Road!

"Since you have such thoughts, it proves that your people know I'm coming to the Military Police Headquarters. If I'm not mistaken, they're already lying in ambush, just waiting to give me a surprise on my way back to the Special Higher Police?"

Wang Shuyu's face darkened completely. Damn it, how could this traitor be so cunning that he could even guess something like this!

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he quickly asked Edith to contact Sun Jianzhong.

If they ambushed me today, wouldn't Shi Yi Nong and his gang be courting death?

Even after their hideout was raided, they still dared to bring men out to ambush him. How much must Shi Yinong hate him?
"Judging from your expression, it seems I guessed right. So where would the people who ambushed me choose? On the only route from the Military Police Headquarters to Wusong Road, am I right?"

Wang Shuyu vowed that if she had a needle and thread right now, she would sew Zhao Xuan's mouth shut.

Wang Shuyu even began to suspect Xue Dou.

No matter how high a person's IQ is, or how extraordinary they are, it's impossible for them to describe someone else's plan perfectly, right?

Song Rong was completely stunned.

She knew that everything Zhao Xuan guessed was true, because Wang Shuyu's expression and emotional changes had already told Song Rong.

But Song Rong couldn't understand how Zhao Xuan managed to extract so much information from such a tiny clue, even without Wang Shuyu saying a word.
That's unreasonable, completely unreasonable!
While interrogating Xue Dou, Song Rong at least had one direction to keep the interrogation going.

Zhao Xuan's guess was entirely based on hard guessing, and most importantly, he almost guessed correctly.

This prodigy is currently an advisor to the Special Higher Police and the Military Police Headquarters' intelligence department. In that instant, Song Rong once again harbored murderous intent towards Zhao Xuan.

With his arms crossed and a smirk playing on his lips, Yamayu Kazuo leaned back in his chair, listening calmly to Zhao Xuan's questions.

His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if he were the one who had obtained this intelligence.

Sato He swallowed hard. To be honest, he had witnessed Zhao Xuan's interrogation process several times, but each time, Sato He was still shocked.

Zhao Xuan looked at Wang Shuyu, sighed, and turned to Song Rong, saying:
"Section Chief Aoki, it seems she doesn't know much more. It's not difficult to get the information from her about where the underground party members from the boutique pastry shop moved to."

Sato and Kazuo Kagayama nodded in agreement. They had personally experienced how stubborn Wang Shuyu was.

Her clothes were being cut off piece by piece, but the woman didn't even blink or frown.

They both felt it was impossible to get anything more out of her.

Furthermore, Wang Shuyu only said one sentence from beginning to end.

Song Rong raised her hand and patted Zhao Xuan on the shoulder:

“Zhao Sang, you’re right. We won’t get anything out of her if we keep asking, but I think she must have a very high position in the underground party.”

"Therefore, I think we can use her as bait, to catch a whole group of fish. I refuse to believe that the underground party members wouldn't save her!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Song Rong wouldn't kill Wang Shuyu, but the methods she used to deal with Wang Shuyu would be absolutely horrific.

Sato He also became interested at this point:

"Oh, Junko, what method have you come up with? Whatever the method, I will support you."

Yamao looked at Song Rong with curiosity, wanting to see what Song Rong would do next.

Song Rong glanced at the waiting agent with a sinister smile:
"Go find a four-wheeled cart that's about five centimeters wide. If you can't find one, make one."

After speaking, Song Rong looked at Sato He:

"Chief, have someone break her legs and throw her out into the street. Let her ride a four-wheeled cart and beg along the streets. Let the underground party members see for themselves whether they can stand by and not come out to rescue her!"

Sato He and Yama Yuichi both had their eyes light up at that moment.

Song Rong's method is indeed harmful, but the effect may be very good.

The underground party members could not bear to see their comrades suffer such torment, especially since Wang Shuyu's status within the underground party was likely very high.

In this situation, the underground party's anger would be even more likely to be aroused, and they would have no choice but to step forward to save people.

Once members of the underground party surfaced, they were met with a manhunt from all sides.

Want to save people? Dream on!
Wang Shuyu also realized how terrifying Song Rong's plan was.

Wang Shuyu wasn't afraid of being disabled, but she was afraid that if she became disabled, she would also implicate her comrades, which was something she was extremely unwilling to see!
"Shameless! You shameless bastards!"

Overwhelmed by anger and deeply worried about the outcome of Song Rong's plan, Wang Shuyu finally couldn't help but curse.

Just as Sato He was coldly ordering his subordinates to break Wang Shuyu's legs, Zhao Xuan raised his hand and stopped the two agents.

"Zhao Sang, what do you mean? Do you think Chunzi's plan is bad?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head indifferently:
"Okay, I didn't say it was bad, but if we break both her legs and throw her out to beg on a four-wheeled cart, do you think the underground party members would step in to save her first, or would she take the opportunity to end her own life first?"

"Ah this."

Sato He looked at Song Rong speechlessly; he hadn't actually considered this question.

Song Rong raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Oh, really? I hadn't considered that problem before, but now that Zhao Sang has mentioned it, I've thought of how to make this plan even more perfect."

"Why not just break her arms too? Then we can send someone to pull the cart and drag her around the streets. Even if the underground party knows it's a trap, I think they'll still rush out to rescue this beauty!"

"As expected, Zhao Sang is indeed thoughtful and ruthless. I suppose he already thought of my method when he pointed out the loophole?"

Yamayu Kazuo gasped. How could these people who use their brains be so vicious and their methods so dirty? They were even worse than him.

Sato He also shuddered, wondering if he should just find someone else to like. No matter how he looked at it now, he felt that Aoki Junko was a pervert.

Zhao Xuan almost couldn't help but curse. With Song Rong causing trouble, the difficulty of rescuing people had skyrocketed to hell level.

Moreover, this wicked scheme has a particularly high chance of success.

It now seems that the method that has always worked so well before cannot be used to save Wang Shuyu.

At the same time, Zhao Xuan decided that he could no longer keep Song Rong, this troublemaker, lurking in the military police headquarters. Dealing with this woman was more troublesome than dealing with a group of Japanese devils.

Seeing that both Yamayuu Kazuo and Sato He were very supportive of Song Rong's plan, Zhao Xuan silently glanced at Wang Shuyu on the torture chair, hoping she could hold on.

(Edith, call the commander's office and tell him I want to make a deal for him with six thousand doses of penicillin.)
Zhao Xuan learned from Dao Ya that the drugs leaked from the Military Police Headquarters to her and Sato Ai to earn pocket money were all approved by Koji Ida.

In other words, Koji Ida was fully aware of the business dealings of the Military Police Headquarters, and was even the one who spearheaded it.

For such a greedy person, six thousand doses of penicillin would be enough to make him agree to any deal he could get his hands on.

Inside the interrogation room, Wang Shuyu was utterly despondent, numbly watching the two agents approach her.

Now, Wang Shuyu has only one thought: to find an opportunity to end her own life. If there is no opportunity, then so be it. Remaining silent is the last thing she can do.

“Fisherwoman, this is your last chance. If you can provide some more valuable information, I may consider treating you leniently.”

Song Rong stood up and said one last thing to Wang Shuyu.

Wang Shuyu slowly raised her head and looked directly at Song Rong in front of her:
"Use whatever means you have."

Song Rong sighed, and Zhao Xuan, staring intently at Wang Shuyu, asked:
"Is faith really more important to you than your honor, disgrace, or even your life?"

Wang Shuyu looked at Zhao Xuan seriously and said in a strong and resolute tone:

"Talking about faith with someone who doesn't even believe in their ancestors is like talking to a brick wall."

"Zhao Xuan, someone will definitely kill you, kill all of you. I'm just one step ahead of you."

After saying this, Wang Shuyu closed her eyes. Amidst a piercing scream, Wang Shuyu's legs were broken.

Looking at the unconscious Wang Shuyu, and at the two agents who were about to break her hands again, Zhao Xuan's heart trembled: Hold on, Comrade Fisher Girl!
Just as the two agents had grabbed the unconscious Wang Shuyu's hands, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the doorway.

Upon seeing Sato Kei's arrival, Sato He asked with some surprise:

"Nissan! What brings you here?"

Sato Kei didn't answer his brother's question. He walked straight to Wang Shuyu and saw that her legs were bleeding profusely, with broken bones piercing through the flesh and exposing them bloodily. Sato Kei was furious and slapped the two agents several times across the face.

"Baka! Who gave you permission to do this?"

Yamayu Kazuo and Zhao Xuan stood aside, both watching Sato He and Song Rong with amusement.

Sato He swallowed hard.

“Nissan, this is the interrogation room, this is my territory.”

Sato Kei snorted coldly:
"My foolish brother, don't you understand why I'm here?"

"Send him to the military police hospital immediately. If he can't be cured, I'll have to see if his legs are worth hundreds of thousands!"

After saying this, Sato Keiichi waved his hand, and the military police who had come with him immediately rushed in and took Wang Shuyu away from the two agents of the intelligence department.

Sato Keiya followed, but stopped at the door:

"I meant US dollars!"

After leaving his last words, Sato Keisei left the interrogation room.

Sato He looked at Song Rong in bewilderment:

"Miss Junko, what's going on?"

Song Rong frowned deeply:

"That's quite a big fish. Nine hundred thousand US dollars—that's enough to buy countless lives. I never imagined the underground Communist Party would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to kill her."

As Song Rong said this, she was already thinking about the rumors circulating in the market about the six thousand doses of penicillin.

"Sato-kun, Aoki-san, it seems we no longer need to stay here. However, please arrange for us to be escorted back to the Special Higher Police."

Yamayu Kazuo hadn't forgotten that there was a group of underground party members who wanted to ambush Zhao Xuan on the way.

Song Rong couldn't possibly let such a good opportunity slip by, and immediately said to Sato He:
"Chief, although the Fisher Girl has been taken away by Commander Sato, the trail hasn't gone cold. Those who wanted to ambush Zhao Sang are definitely on the Fisher Girl's trail. As long as we catch them, we can still make use of the Fisher Girl."

Sato He nodded:

"Okay, Junko, I'll make the arrangements right away. This time, we'll escort Zhao-san and Yamao-kun back to the Special Higher Police together."

At the same time, at the intersection of the Military Police Headquarters and Wusong Road, Shi Yinong was leading his elite second-line troops to ambush around the road.

This time they even used explosives. As long as Zhao Xuan passes through this road, Shi Yinong can guarantee that Zhao Xuan's body will be completely destroyed.

"Butler, someone is looking for you."

The taxi driver, who was setting up a stall by the roadside, widened his eyes when he heard his colleague's report.

This time they were operating in secrecy. It would be one thing if someone came looking for them, but how did they manage to find their way here? How did the people who came to find them get the information?
"Who?"

"I don't know, he was a little old man, wrapped up very tightly, I couldn't see him clearly."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yinong immediately guessed who it was.

Is this guy really planning to haunt me all day?
After letting out an angry snort, Shi Yinong walked towards the place the shopkeeper pointed out.

Upon entering the small shop and seeing the old man pacing back and forth, Shi Yi Nong could barely contain his anger. He rushed over and grabbed the man by the collar.
"Sun Jianzhong! It's you again! What exactly do you want?"

Sun Jianzhong shoved Shi Yinong's hand away and stared at Shi Yinong with eyes blazing with anger.

Only then did Shi Yinong realize that Sun Jianzhong was even angrier than he was, and for a moment, Shi Yinong even slowed down his breathing.

This was the first time Shi Yinong had ever seen Sun Jianzhong so angry.

"Shiyinong, the Japanese have found out about your plan to ambush Zhao Xuan. Are you going to stay here and wait to be wiped out by the military police?"

Shi Yinong paused for a moment, then snorted and said:

"Impossible. My plan is top secret. It's impossible for outsiders to know about it."

After saying this, Shi Yinong realized something was wrong. His plan was top secret, so how did Sun Jianzhong know about it?
Sun Jianzhong looked at Shi Yinong with anger and disdain:
"You found out Zhao Xuan's itinerary from me, and you think that's top secret?"

Shi Yinong breathed a sigh of relief. So Sun Jianzhong had come here because he had guessed that Zhao Xuan would be here. That made sense. Just as Sun Jianzhong had said, Zhao Xuan's itinerary was revealed by Sun Jianzhong when he went to the pastry shop at noon.

"Sun Jianzhong, you should leave. Don't delay my plans."

Sun Jianzhong sighed helplessly, shook his head, and walked towards the door.

"The fine pastry shop has already been shut down by the military police. The woodcutter and the fisherwoman have long been arrested by the military police headquarters. How can you still waste your time here?" "Back then, when you applied to transfer Shuyu to your side, I disagreed. If I had known it would turn out like this, even if it was a superior, I would have stood my ground to prevent Shuyu from going to your side. Shiyinong, you are too arrogant. Not only have you harmed Shuyu and so many comrades, but now you want to even throw away the last bit of the second-line team's resources."

"If it weren't for those comrades outside, I would wish you, Shi Yinong, to die and be torn to pieces!"

"I've said my piece; believe it or not."

Sun Jianzhong cannot stay any longer. He has already done more than enough to remind Shi Yinong. Sun Jianzhong must be responsible not only for himself, but also for all his comrades on the front line.

Sun Jianzhong has already violated organizational regulations by visiting Shi Yi Nong three times today.

After hearing Sun Jianzhong's words, Shi Yinong was terrified:

"Old Sun, wait a minute, what did you say? Shuyu has been arrested? How is that possible? With Shuyu's abilities, how could she be arrested?"

Sun Jianzhong turned to look at Shi Yi Nong:
"Ha, Shi Yinong, let me tell you, if Shuyu is ever wronged because of your arrogance, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Wang Shuyu is the orphan of Sun Jianzhong's old friend. Sun Jianzhong raised her by himself, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he treated Wang Shuyu as his own daughter.

Back then, the organization appointed him as the head of the underground party in Shanghai, and Shi Yinong became the second-in-command.

Shi Yinong was already dissatisfied and repeatedly submitted reports to the organization, hoping to be transferred to the front line.

Later, Shi Yinong realized that it was impossible, and because there was a shortage of experienced second-line personnel, he hoped that the organization would agree to transfer Wang Shuyu to assist him in his work.

At first, Sun Jianzhong was firmly against it, but after thinking about it, he felt a little sorry for Shi Yinong. In addition, the leaders of the organization had already talked to him. After struggling for a long time, Sun Jianzhong finally agreed to let Wang Shuyu go to assist Shi Yinong.

The reason why the second-line comrades have been able to develop to this point and even be put to use by the organization is because, with Wang Shuyu's assistance, they have built their own intelligence network.

In addition, the organization happened to order Sun Jianzhong's side to enter a state of silence, which is why the second line was activated.

Who would have thought that the comrades on the second line had only been in service for a short time, and Shi Yi Nong had already caused so much trouble.

Watching Sun Jianzhong storm off, Shi Yinong, sweating profusely, hurriedly called his deputy:

"Quickly, notify everyone to evacuate immediately. Group leaders, then rendezvous at contact station number two! Hurry!"

Not long after Shi Yinong led everyone to evacuate, the convoy of the Military Police Headquarters passed by here.

The journey was smooth sailing, prompting Song Rong, sitting in the Buick, to sigh regretfully:

"It seems that after we captured the fisherwoman and the woodcutter, the underground party members probably didn't trust them, so they chose to withdraw."

Sato He also felt quite regretful upon hearing this:
"Hmph, these hypocrites! They claim to have 100% trust in their own people, but when just two people are arrested, they not only don't try to rescue them, they even abandon the mission they were assigned to. Bah!"

Yamayu Kazuo, who was driving behind Song Rong and Sato He's car, also sighed:
"Zhao Sang, it seems the underground party members have already withdrawn."

Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, saying:
"Isn't it good that we've evacuated? Anyway, if those people get caught, the credit goes to the Military Police Headquarters, not us. On the contrary, the two of us will have to act as bait. Is it worth it?"

"Haha, Zhao-san, you really have a unique way of looking at things. But I also think that making us act as bait, that bitch Junko Aoki is really annoying."

After saying this, Yamayu Kazuo glanced at Zhao Xuan in the passenger seat and asked:

“Zhao Sang, the Fisher Girl is clearly a big fish. Although Aoki Junko is a bad person, her ideas are still very good. Why is the Military Police Headquarters trying to stop her?”

"If you can't figure it out, how would I know?"

Yamayu Kazuo shook his head and smiled:
"Zhao Sang, don't joke with me like that. You could have guessed it."

Zhao Xuan smiled as well:
"Perhaps. Alright, let's hurry back before things get complicated."

Wusong Road, Special Higher Police Section.

After Zhao Xuan and Yamayuichi arrived by car, the military police headquarters convoy left.

The two had just gotten out of the car when they saw Ding Moqun and Zhang Sanjin standing at the entrance of the office building.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

Ding Moqun looked at Zhao Xuan walking towards him, and although he was angry, he still patiently said:

"This morning, didn't you bring back the person that Section Chief Miao arrested? I have already applied for a transfer order to bring him back."

"But Section Chief Lan Ze said she knew nothing about it and that she would have to ask you before she could give me an answer. But when I came here, Section Chief Lan Ze told me that you had gone on a mission."

"Now that you're back, I'm asking you, is this true or not?"

Yamayu Kazuo, who was standing next to Zhao Xuan, found it amusing. His section chief was too cheeky, making him wait from early morning until almost 5 p.m.

Zhao Xuan smiled calmly:
"Uncle, you could have just made a phone call, why did you have to come all the way here in person?"

"Mr. Yamano, where are the people we brought back this morning?"

Yamayu Kazuo also pretended to be stupid and said:
"There were too many things to do today, so after bringing the person back, we just threw him into the cell."

"I see. Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Shanxiong, to have someone bring him out. Can't you see my uncle is waiting here?"

Yamayu Kazuo suppressed a laugh and nodded repeatedly:

"Director Ding, I'm sorry, today's task was a bit tricky, so I got back late. I'll have someone bring out the person you need right away."

After saying that, Yamao Kazuo reached out his hand towards Ding Moqun, who snorted coldly:
"The transfer order is with your section chief."

"Oh, I see. Then I need to check the transfer order before I can hand the person over to you."

After saying that, Yamayu Kazuo walked straight past Ding Moqun and Zhang Sanjin into the office building.

Zhao Xuan coughed awkwardly:
"Uncle, I'm sorry, but my position is really not respectable, so my words carry no weight."

Ding Moqun gave Zhao Xuan a deep look, shook his head, and walked towards his car.

Zhang Sanjin smiled at Zhao Xuan and quickly followed Ding Moqun.

Zhao Xuan didn't have time to waste with Ding Moqun, and followed Yamao Kazuo into the office building.

Edith, call Sun Jianzhong and ask him if Sun Ying's body has been found.

When Zhao Xuan arrived at the section chief's office, Sun Jianzhong had already given a reply: Sun Ying's body had been retrieved from the river and laid to rest.

"Shanxiong-jun, go and hand him over to Ding Moqun. We've left him hanging for so long, we can't go too far."

"Hi!"

Just as Lan Zehuizi finished giving the order, Zhao Xuan happened to walk to the door.

"Ah Xuan, you're here. Come in and tell me about what you've gained this time."

Yamayu Kazuo nodded to Zhao Xuan and then left.

Zhao Xuan said as he walked:
"We didn't gain anything, just got some credit. But on our side, Huizi, how's the situation at Eling?"

Aizawa Keiko shook her head with a bitter smile:

"There has been no progress. Eling is truly like an impregnable fortress. It cannot be breached from the outside, nor is there any opportunity to attack from the inside. According to the people inside, they are not short of money."

After saying that, Aizawa Keiko closed the office door.

"Ah Xuan, sit down."

After taking her seat on the sofa, Lan Zehui sat down on the sofa opposite Zhao Xuan:

"Shanghai is quite lively today. The original authorities are investigating the source of the information about the six thousand doses of penicillin on the black market."

"On the other hand, news of an underground party member with a list of eighteen people in Shanghai is spreading like wildfire. Unfortunately, our Special Higher Police can't spare the time to get involved."

Even Keiko Aizawa was tempted by the offer of 6,000 doses of penicillin, but the Special Higher Police simply didn't have the manpower available.

If it weren't for helping Zhao Xuan gain some credit today, Lan Zehuizi wouldn't have let Yamayuichi go.

"Huizi, I think there's something strange about this information on the black market. Six thousand doses of penicillin, such a large quantity, entered Shanghai. They didn't check the port information and just ran around Shanghai aimlessly. Do they think that six thousand doses of penicillin just appeared out of thin air in Shanghai?"

Aizawa Keiko nodded:

“My mother also talked to me last night. When she mentioned this matter, she had the same judgment as you, Ah Xuan.”

"It's impossible for six thousand doses of penicillin to appear out of thin air in Shanghai, but judging from the feedback on the black market, the authenticity of this information is quite high."

Zhao Xuan nodded calmly:

"So, Mrs. Watanabe believes that this information most likely came from the Military Police Headquarters?"

Aizawa Keiko nodded:

"That's true, but Mother doesn't think Koji Ida has that much guts. Six thousand doses of penicillin—that's enough to support a large-scale battle. Even the Military Police Headquarters' Quartermaster Department might not have that much in stock."

"It's probably someone with ulterior motives who wants to use this information to achieve certain goals."

After speaking, Lan Zehui pushed a cup of tea onto the coffee table in front of Zhao Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, try this. I had someone buy Da Hong Pao for me. I heard it's the best tea in China."

In the alleyway courtyard where the six men sent by Mao Shu were staying, Master Niu quietly slipped in carrying a black leather suitcase.

As soon as the location of these six people was determined, Zhao Xuan arranged for nanobugs to keep an eye on the place.

Today, Doiyuu finally mobilized the forces here, sending them out to search for the source of the six thousand doses of penicillin.

After the six people left, Zhao Xuan immediately contacted Master Niu.

After those people left, the alleys here were basically deserted, so it would have been easy for Master Niu to sneak in.

After entering the courtyard where the six people lived, Master Niu opened the leather suitcase, which contained nothing but modified time bombs.

After observing for a period of time, Zhao Xuan had already figured out the activity patterns of those six people.

Following the information provided by Zhao Xuan, Master Niu installed a box full of time bombs, then calmly sat down at the round table in the living room, quietly looking at the telephone on the table.

Time passed second by second. By this time, Zhao Xuan had left the Special Higher Police and returned to the villa in the apartment area.

Noticing that Dao Ya hadn't returned yet, Zhao Xuan didn't pay much attention. As he walked towards the kitchen, he monitored the movements of the six agents using the nanobugs that followed them.

It was 5:40. Zhao Xuan was preparing to cook when the six men, having found nothing after a day of searching, began to head home.

"Edith, calculate the distance."

(Sir, it will take them about half an hour to get home.)
After Edith answered, Zhao Xuan had it call Master Niu, who was waiting by the phone.

"Master Niu, the timer is set for forty minutes, then we can evacuate."

After making that call, Zhao Xuan called the apartment at No. 27 Jisifeier Road.

At this moment, Dao Yan, who was eating dinner alone at home, heard the phone ring. With a worried look on her face and a thoughtful expression in her eyes, she walked towards the living room.

A dozen seconds later, Dao Yan answered the phone:
"Who?"

"Ah Xuan, what did you say? Xiao Ya has already reached an agreement, and Zhi Li is going to leave Shanghai tonight? Okay, I understand. I'll go arrange it right away. Thank you, honey!"

After hanging up the phone, Dao Yan's worried expression turned into a smile. She, who had been listless, immediately rushed to the door to change her shoes and clothes.

Meanwhile, in the apartment villa, Zhao Xuan smiled gently when he heard Dao Yan address him in that way.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xuan immediately instructed Edith to pinpoint the location of Boss Gu from the Green Gang.

There have always been nanoparticles on Dao Ya's body. Locating Dao Ya led to finding Gu Xuan, because today was the day Dao Ya was going to meet Gu Xuan.

In a private room on the second floor of Zhizhen Garden on Huanghe Road, Shanghai.

After a simple disguise, Dao Ya now appears as a mature, sophisticated, and elite woman.

Wearing a women's suit and a wig, Dao Ya was looking at Gu Xuan, who was sitting across from her at the dining table.

Today, Dao Ya was fully prepared mentally so that she wouldn't drool over the table full of delicious food.

"Mr. Gu, I believe you should know something about my background. This batch of goods came from the Military Police Headquarters. If you want it and the price is right, we can talk."

Gu Xuan, who was around forty years old and wearing a black suit, laughed upon hearing this:

“Miss Zhao is straightforward and gets straight to the point, so I won’t beat around the bush.”

“A single dose of penicillin costs around $15 on the market. I’ll buy them all, making it $13 per dose. I wonder if Ms. Zhao can accept this price.”

Dao Ya couldn't resist any longer. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of Dongpo pork, and slowly ate it. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xuan said again:
"It seems that Miss Zhao is not so satisfied with the price I offered. In that case, Miss Zhao might as well name a price directly."

“Our Green Gang brothers are always fighting, and we really need a lot of penicillin. So as long as the price is acceptable to me, I'll buy as much as you have. This way, you can avoid any accidents on the black market. What do you think, Miss Zhao?”

Dao Ya looked at Gu Xuan calmly, thinking to herself, "I didn't say I wanted to raise the price. Does eating something really increase my bargaining power? Well, sorry."
Next, Gu Xuan was completely dumbfounded. The "Miss Zhao" who had been discussing business with him actually started eating slowly without saying a word, which made Gu Xuan feel uneasy.

But he really needs this batch of penicillin. The organization has requested it many times, asking him to get as much penicillin as possible if he has the chance.

Many soldiers who were wounded on the front lines and transferred to rear medical facilities did not survive because they did not have penicillin.

Whenever soldiers lost their lives due to a lack of medicine, the entire Red Army was filled with grief.

The Red Party even spent a lot of money to buy penicillin, but this stuff isn't something you can just buy whenever you want.

Outside of Shanghai, obtaining penicillin becomes much more difficult and the price is even more outrageous.

So from the start of the negotiations, Gu Xuan was at a disadvantage, because he came with the goal of winning.

However, Gu Xuan also knew that he could not make any more concessions at this point; otherwise, the organization would have to pay an even greater price for this negotiation.

Dao Ya also felt that the time was almost up, but just as she was about to speak, Bai Zhishan, one of Gu Xuan's subordinates, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Excuse me, Ms. Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Boss, there's a phone call for you."

Gu Xuan frowned, nodded at the white paper fan, and then looked apologetically at Dao Ya:
"Miss Zhao, please wait a moment."

Dao Ya smiled calmly and nodded slightly, speaking in a deep, resonant voice like that of a mature woman:
"It's alright, Mr. Gu. Since you have something to do, please do so. I'll wait for you here."

After leaving the private room, Gu Xuan looked at the white paper fan beside him and asked:
"Who's looking for me?"

The white paper fan shook its head:
"Boss, I really don't know, but he can recognize our gang's secret codes."

Gu Xuan nodded and went to the front desk to answer the phone:

"I am Gu Xuan."

(The earth shakes the high hills, and a stream flows eternally beautiful.)
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, because this was the secret code that Xia Gong had personally told him when they first met.

According to Xia Gong, the secret code for this rendezvous was devised by Chen Guang, a legendary figure in the underground Communist Party in Shanghai.

Of the entire underground party, only Xia Gong, Chen Guang, and he knew this secret code.

With excitement in his heart, Gu Xuan glanced around, clenched his fist, and whispered:

"The gate faces the sea, where three rivers converge and flow for ten thousand years!"

(Comrade Gu Xuan, tonight you need to escort a new member of our Party out of Shanghai from the Suzhou Creek New Sluice Bridge. She is a former member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, named Zhu Zhili, codenamed Tequila. 8 o'clock sharp!)

Gu Xuan glanced at his watch; it was already six o'clock, and there were still two hours left.

"Oh, it's Mr. Chen. Okay, I'll take this business."

Even after hanging up the phone, Gu Xuan's excitement had not completely subsided.

He never imagined that one day Chenguang would contact him to do something.

Because of Xia Gong, Gu Xuan also knew that Chen Guang was a very mysterious person. Almost no one in the entire Shanghai knew his identity, and even the person in charge of the Shanghai underground party did not know his identity.

It's easy to imagine how deeply this Comrade Chenguang has been hiding in Shanghai.
