Chapter 276 Tonight
The reason Bobby was willing to talk to them was simple: if they didn't talk tonight, these people would probably try to kill him and then rob him.

After the four sat down, Bobby took the initiative and spoke first:

"The three of you, do you think I would carry something as important as an oil exploration report with me?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were fixed on his suit, Bobby shrugged, nonchalantly took it off, grabbed a fruit knife, slashed it open, pulled out an oil exploration report, and casually tossed it onto the coffee table.
"have a look."

Thors immediately picked up the document, glanced at the cover, and then immediately opened it to check, only to find that it was blank inside!

"you!"

Jenny and Gomarev were also confused; Bobby really hadn't brought anything with her.

"Okay, to be honest, I've deposited the items with Citibank. I'm sure you all know Citibank's credibility."

"So let's talk. Of course, even if we reach an agreement, we still need to leave the Cathay Hotel first, otherwise it's all just empty talk."

Gomarev was a little unsure of what to do, and Jenny and Tors were also looking at Bobby with serious expressions.

They had broken into and searched Bobby's room three or four times before, so it was fair to say that Bobby was more familiar with everything in the room than they were.

The suit that they suspected most was also a cover-up that Bobby used to deceive others.

"So, the condition is that we take you away from the Cathay Hotel, and our offer meets your expectations?"

Seeing Bobby nod, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief.

They are currently unable to leave the Chinachem Hotel. The embassy has not contacted them and is completely unaware that they are trapped here.

It will probably be two or three days before the embassy reacts.

After all, they were able to obtain intelligence from outside before, but when they tried to pass on the intelligence to their respective embassies, all their messages disappeared without a trace.

They were also aware that the intelligence had been intercepted, and the embassy had no idea what had happened at the Cathay Hotel.

Two or three days is enough time for many unexpected things to happen.

Now that Bobby is willing to talk to them, Jenny and Tors both think that they should at least get Bobby in first, then buy time, wait for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to complete its mission, and then leave at their leisure, or the embassy could put pressure on them to leave.

Bobby is an American citizen, and with that alone, Jenny and Tors are confident they can get him out of the country if the embassy pulls in.

Gomarev really wanted to ask Sophia, but at that moment, Sophia had clearly gone to find Doya and Sato Ai in the next room.

The Russians had already investigated the identities of these two people, which is why Sofia came to them.

In the next room, Toya, Sato Ai, and Sophia sat around a coffee table and smiled at each other.

Daoya pushed a cup of coffee in front of Sofia:
"It seems you've figured out our identities."

Sofia smiled noncommittally.

Sato Ai sat quietly next to Toa. After all, Toa was in charge of negotiations, while she was in charge of counting the money and building relationships. It was a clear division of labor.

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Sophia. Miss, Miss Sato, you've come to the Cathay Hotel for the oil exploration report that Bobby has, right?"

Sophia was quite surprised to see Daoya nod; she had thought Daoya wouldn't admit it!

Feeling her arm being pushed, Sato Ai immediately reacted. After Toa nodded, her expression turned somewhat angry as she said:

"You're here for the oil exploration report too? Ha, no wonder Bobby was so confident. We offered such a high price, but he ignored us. It seems you're his clients as well. But I advise you to give up on that idea."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Bobby's real client is Masaki Murano of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce. He just checked into the Cathay Hotel tonight. Most importantly, Bobby's room was empty before, right? I used my connections to ask around, and it turns out that Bobby was actually meeting with Masaki Murano during that time."

"Hmph! This guy is really infuriating. He was the one who invited Xiaoya and me here to make the deal, but when we arrived, he still dared to hold out for a higher price. He has no sincerity at all. Do you think he would meet the price you quoted?"

To outsiders, Ai Sato presents herself as someone without guile and straightforward.

So after hearing what Sato Ai said, Sophia believed her.

Furthermore, Sofia also began to feel anxious.

Unexpectedly, the buyer Bobby had his eye on was Masaki Murano.

This is not a good situation. You see, the Hua Mao Hotel has been sealed off by the police station, and almost the entire police force has come.

The chances of them taking Bobby out are very slim.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be arriving tomorrow, and the Japanese military police will also be stationed at the Cathay Hotel, making it even less likely that they will have the chance to take Bobby away.

So, without even thinking, Sofia knew that Bobby would never make a deal with them.

Because completing the deal with them meant that Bobby had tricked the Japanese.

Now that Bobby has already offended Sato Ai and Toa, if she also offends Murano Masaki, there is absolutely no way Bobby will be able to leave the Cathay Hotel alive.

An intelligence broker who has been in the business for many years must have some brains.

Sofia knew that the two Americans and Gemarev had just gone to negotiate with Bobby, but it was very likely that there would be no result.

Even if there is a result, it's probably just Bobby messing with them.

Upon hearing these words, Daoya quickly grabbed Sato Ai, then looked at Sophia with a somewhat awkward smile and said:
“Ms. Sofia, Bobby is right to compare prices, but he hasn’t made a final decision on who to trade with yet. I think everyone has a chance.”

"Since we're going to do business with Bobby, let's compete fairly."

Sophia stared at Daoya speechlessly, almost rolling her eyes in exasperation.

Moreover, the more Daoya tried to hide it, the more Sophia felt that Sato Ai's frank remarks were the most genuine.

Bobby has already decided to make a deal with Masaki Murano, and he'll even go see Masaki Murano again tonight.

If the deal goes through, Bobby will be able to leave the Cathay Hotel with Masaki Murano's help. So what are they doing here all this way?
However, if they really take drastic measures against Bobby, and the embassy is even slightly slow to respond, they will have no way out.

You have to understand, although this was the French Concession, it was still Shanghai, a city dominated by the Japanese!

Even if they obtained the oil exploration report through extraordinary means, they most likely wouldn't be able to take it out.

Sofia was caught in a dilemma.

However, at this moment, although Sophia lowered her head slightly, she still kept an eye on Toa and Sato Ai out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that Daoya glared fiercely at Sato Ai and even shook her head slightly at her, Sophia had an idea.

Perhaps this game can still be turned around, and the key lies with Toa and Sato Ai.

Thinking of this, Sophia smiled, stood up, and said:

"Excuse me for disturbing you both, I suddenly remembered something and I'll be leaving now."

Daoya and Sato Ai stood up with smiles and saw Sophia off together.

After closing the door, Sato Ai looked at Toa with a grin:
"Xiaoya, was my acting alright just now?"

Daoya smiled and patted Sato Ai's shoulder:

"Xiao Ai, it's such a pity you didn't study acting. I think if you went down this path, you would definitely be more famous than that Li Xiangjun!"

Sato Ai was in a great mood after receiving praise from Toa.

Back on the sofa, Sato Ai asked curiously:
"Will this really attract them to seek cooperation with us?"

Daoya smiled and nodded:

"Of course, just as Bobby had no choice, so did they."

"What we need to do now is to unite some groups and divide others, making the situation as chaotic as possible. I don't believe that the people behind the scenes can tolerate all this trouble we've caused."

Sato Ai clenched her fists, wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, and said:

"That's right, they dared to scheme against us, we'll let them know we're not to be trifled with!"

Dao Ya felt a little guilty and glanced at Sato Ai without showing any emotion. The person who was really plotting against her was right beside her!

On the other side, in room 402.

Churchill and Bobby sat on the sofa with serious expressions.

"They've teamed up, those damn Russians and Americans!"

“I just saw them go into Bobby’s room.”

Bobby, looking furious, started complaining.

Qiurs also said with a gloomy expression:

"Since they want to join forces to take over the oil exploration report, then don't blame us for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, Bobby said with some concern:

“Chuls, this is the French Concession. If we make a big fuss, not only the governor of the French Concession, but even the Japanese will not let it go.”

“You’re right, but Bobby, do you really want to watch the Russians and Americans get that oil exploration report?”

Churchill stared at Bobby with a sinister expression:

“You need to understand that the report originally belonged to us. Bobby is a thief! It was our country’s survey team that first identified the oil source, but the survey team was wiped out in an accident, and that’s how Bobby got the benefit.”

"You know, that's an oil field worth tens of millions of US dollars. That's an enormous fortune for our country. With that money, we can even fight those Nazis head-on."

"And that German guy, he hasn't made a move yet. Why? Do you think he's just an arms dealer? Marus has a military background. For someone like that to appear in this place at this time, his wolfish ambitions are obvious."

Bobby's expression turned serious, and he looked at Church with a firm gaze:
"So what do we do? Just kidnap Bobby and rob her?"

Churchill had already thought it through and answered directly:

“Our people outside are ready to provide backup. As long as we manage to kidnap Bobby, we will be able to leave safely with their help.”

“Moreover, we only have this one chance tonight.” Qius had also secretly contacted Bobby. At that time, Qius spoke to him politely, but the guy not only denied that the oil exploration report was not obtained from the British exploration team, but also said that he would never do business with the British.

At that time, Chull was furious. Bobby had been making a living in Britain before he got the oil exploration report.

Bobby's behavior is like eating from a bowl and then cursing the cook!
Churchill wouldn't tolerate him.

Moreover, Qius had made ample preparations, and he didn't take the group of police officers outside seriously.

With the firepower he had prepared in the hotel, he could easily overwhelm the police officers in a single encounter.

"So, shall we just go and tie them up?"

Qius looked speechlessly at his physically strong but mentally challenged partner, shook his head, and said:
“Hostages are necessary, of course. Bobby has reached some kind of agreement with the Japanese. He thinks he’s covered his tracks perfectly and we won’t be able to find out?”

"The person I asked you to keep an eye on is Bobby's trading partner. He is Masaki Murano, the head of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai."

"We just need to wait for Bobby to complete the deal with Murano Masaki and prepare to leave the Hua Mao Hotel, then we can suddenly appear, tie them up, and quickly leave the Hua Mao Hotel, and everything will be over."

After listening, Bobby thought it was highly feasible.

After all, this mission wasn't just undertaken by the two of them.

The higher-ups took Bobby's actions very seriously and ordered the two of them to take the items back.

Therefore, Qius made ample preparations for this trip to Shanghai. He had more than a dozen people waiting outside to meet him, and each of them was an extremely outstanding agent.

With prior planning, all he was facing was a bunch of incompetent cops in the police station. Qiu Er couldn't even imagine how he could lose.
Hua Mao Hotel, Room 301.

Zhao Xuan, who was lying on the sofa pretending to doze off, chuckled.

Qius's plan really did Zhao Xuan a big favor.

Dao Ya's plan was not wrong either: unite some groups and divide others.

The group that was split apart by Daoya included Qius and Bobby.

With this prelude, Zhao Xuan could get Iwai Ogawa into the game early and trap Bobby, the pawn, in the Cathay Hotel, in preparation for the subsequent plan.

After listening to Qiurs' plan, Zhao Xuan immediately began to communicate with Edith.

(Edith, make a call to the Iwai Mansion and tell them that someone is planning to kidnap Bobby and Masaki Murano. The operation will take place tonight!)

Zhao Xuan didn't give a specific time, since he didn't know when Bobby and Murano Masaki would be able to reach an agreement.

Moreover, with Russian and American agents holding them back, it's really hard to predict when Masaki Murano and Bobby will leave the Cathay Hotel.

But one thing is certain: it will happen tonight.

After all, even if Bobby gets bogged down and can't go find Murano Masaki, Churles will still make a move.

Because they only have this one night left, if they make a move once Iwai Ogawa arrives with the military police, it would be nothing more than sending themselves to their deaths.

After Edith contacted the Iwai Mansion, Zhao Xuan reconnected to the vision of the nanobugs in Dao Ya's room.

Tsk!
Look no further!

youthful face
I never expected that Sato Ai, who is petite like Zhu Zhili, would have such a great figure.

I never would have guessed it when she was wearing such loose clothes!

Zhao Xuan closed his eyes tightly, but forgot that he was connected to the vision of the nanobugs. As a result, Zhao Xuan accidentally saw Sato Ai taking off her clothes to take a shower.

Watching Sato Ai walk into the bathroom under Dao Ya's helpless gaze, Zhao Xuan then had Edith make a phone call to Dao Ya's room.

The water in the bathroom was splashing loudly, so you couldn't hear anything outside.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Dao Ya's heart tightened. She immediately grabbed the phone and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Edith?"

(Yes, it's me. I must say, your plan was very successful. Qius and Bobby, those two Englishmen, decided to make their move tonight and kidnap Masaki Murano and Bobby. Of course, their main target is Bobby.)
In other words, regardless of whether Bobby goes to see Masaki Murano tonight, Churchill and Bobby will take action.

Daoya grinned after hearing this:

"Is that so? That's really good news."

(And there's even more explosive news: Tiger Girl, the head chef in the kitchen of the Cathay Hotel's Western restaurant, is Qiu Ersi's accomplice. There, Qiu Ersi has prepared a large amount of weaponry, all for the purpose of kidnapping Bobby tonight and storming out of the Cathay Hotel.)
"Understood, don't worry, Edith, I know what to do. Also, Edith, are you also at the Cathay Hotel?"

(No comment.)
"cut!"

"Wait, Edith, I have another question. What about that oil exploration report?"

(Fake!)

"Alright, now I can go all out and get things done."

Dao Ya hung up the phone with a sly look on her face, her eyes gleaming as she pondered her next plan.

Just then, there was another knock on the door. Dao Ya glanced at the door with a playful smile before composed herself and walked forward to open it with a blank expression.

Seeing Sophia, Jenny, Tors, and Gemarev standing at the door, Daoya showed no surprise and stood there with a smile.

"Sorry, my friend is taking a shower, so if there's anything we need to talk about, perhaps we can find another place."

Sophia nodded slightly, and the others had no objections. Daoya went to the bathroom door to greet Sato Ai before following the others to room 405.

This is where Sofia and Gomarev live.

After everyone was seated on the sofa, Jenny looked at Daoya with considerable surprise:
"Miss Dao is clearly not surprised at all. Does this mean she's certain we'll come looking for you?"

Daoya smiled noncommittally and said directly:

"So, your negotiations with Bobby didn't go so smoothly?"

Jenny smiled wryly, unsure how to answer, and Sophia also sighed.

Tors squinted and said:

"Sofia says we can cooperate, but how can we trust you?"

Daoya looked at Tors with amusement:
"Why should I believe it?"

"Do you have a choice? Unless you give up what Bobby has, then we don't need to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, the men's expressions darkened.

If they're abandoning the oil exploration report, what are they doing here? Are you kidding me!
Gomarev had been persuaded by Sofia. He knew that, at the current Huamao Hotel, the only people who could help them take Bobby out were Murano Masaki, Daoya, and Sato Ai.

Clearly, it's impossible for Masaki Murano to cooperate with them.

But Daoya and Sato Ai are different; they are pure, well-connected businesswomen.

Sophia had already found out everything about the black market. Of course, this was intentional on Daoya's part, so that they would have a clear understanding of their situation first.

Otherwise, even if they investigated personally in such a short time, they wouldn't be able to find out the truth.

"It seems you all clearly want to get your hands on that thing. Very well, then can we talk about how we'll distribute it once we get it?"

Sofia and Jenny's biggest concern right now is whether Daoya and Sato Ai will hand over the oil exploration report directly to the Japanese after they get it.

If that's the case, then what's the point of them playing?

Seeing their expressions, Dao Ya spoke again:
"Don't worry, Commander Ida loves money even more than we do."

"How about this, I can agree to this. After we get the goods, you provide the technology and we provide the manpower. I will take 40% and you will each take 30%."

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, and Jenny agreed in her heart.

After all, if the items aren't taken out, they have nothing to do with them.

Moreover, the fact that Daoya was willing to talk to them proves that, rather than handing it over, they and the military police headquarters behind her would rather keep this thing in their hands and make money from it.

Otherwise, there would be no need to talk at all. Daoya and Sato Ai could just notify the Military Police Headquarters, increase Bobby's strength, and take her by force. Would Bobby really be willing to risk her life for money?

The same applies to the appearance of Masaki Murano.

Unfortunately, the size of the company behind Murano Masaki was too large; there wasn't even enough for the Osaka Chamber of Commerce to go around, so how could Murano Masaki possibly cooperate with them?

Therefore, after discussing it, Sophia and Jenny also felt that the only breakthrough was now Doya and Sato Ai.

However, Daoya and Sato Ai are really daring. They dare to use a new oil source to make money, and they're not afraid that the Japanese higher-ups will chop them up.

They had no objection to Daoya taking 40%. In the end, it would be good if Daoya and Sato Ai could get 10%. The rest would definitely be given to Koji Ida.

Thinking about it this way, it's not so difficult to accept. After all, without Toa and Sato Ai, they really wouldn't have been able to get the person out.

In this room, only Daoya knows that the oil exploration report is a fake.

If it's true, Daoya really wouldn't dare to cooperate with them.

After all, a new oil source is extremely important for Japan.

Anyone who dares to take action in this regard will not be spared by the Japanese high command.

Previously, in their secret contact, Dao Ya and Sato Ai dared to try and get their hands on the oil field with Ida Koji, but now, the matter of the oil exploration report has become common knowledge throughout the city.

In this situation, to still dare to hold this thing in your hand would be tantamount to courting death.

What Dao Ya needs to do now is to bind these people to her cause, make them work for her, and completely muddy the waters of the Hua Mao Hotel.

Firstly, it was to prepare for her sister's assassination of Tojo Jun, and secondly, Toya wanted to see if the people behind the scenes could still sit still when there was a hail of bullets inside the Hua Mao Hotel.

This group was also one of the methods that Daoya used to deal with Marus.

After winning over these four agents, Dao Ya will begin her journey as a double agent.
