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

Chapter 278 In Bed
Sato Ai didn't dare to say it, mainly because it was too embarrassing.

But Jenny, always eager for a good show, laughed and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Dao, your house must be quite lively tonight. Your sister must have come to catch her cheating."

Dao Ya's expression changed, and she looked at Jenny in alarm, asking:

"What should I do?"

Sato Ai lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, while Jenny said with a mischievous grin:

"Alright, let's go meet up with Tors and the others first. If a fight really breaks out later, your sister might not be able to care about those things."

Dao Ya's eyes lit up:
"Jenny, you're right, let's get moving!"

Seeing that Daoya was truly anxious, Jenny's suspicions lessened considerably.

At this moment, in room 301 on the third floor of the Cathay Hotel.

Lying in bed, Aizawa Keiko tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

After slowly sitting up, Lan Zehuizi looked towards the sofa. Listening to Zhao Xuan's even breathing, Lan Zehuizi opened her mouth several times before finally asking softly:

"Ah Xuan, are you asleep?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan sit up from the sofa, Lan Zehui smiled:

"Ah Xuan, I can't sleep. I have a feeling something is going to happen tonight."

Zhao Xuan leaned against the back of the sofa, looking at Lan Zehuizi through the dim light in the room:

"Don't worry so much. Our most important task here is to protect Prince Tojo. The rest, to be honest, is none of our business."

“Keiko, do you really want to get your hands on the oil exploration report? Masaki Murano came here for that. Mrs. Watanabe will handle this. We don’t need to worry about it. We just need to wait for Prince Tojo to arrive.”

After chatting with Zhao Xuan for a while, Lan Zehuizi's psychological pressure was reduced a lot.

Yes, their primary objective is to protect Prince Tojo; nothing else is their purpose in coming here.

Thinking of this, Lan Zehui looked at Zhao Xuan with a serene smile:

"Ah Xuan, you weren't asleep either. Is it because you're not used to sleeping on the sofa?"

"Why don't you sleep on the bed too? This bed is big enough, you can sleep on one side and I'll sleep on the other, it won't make a difference."

In both dialysis and scanning modes, Zhao Xuan could already see Dao Yan emerge from the elevator on the third floor and walk towards this room.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan appeared conflicted, but he had already made up his mind.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's hesitation, Aizawa Keiko, still in her pajamas, got out of bed, went to the sofa, and pulled Zhao Xuan's arm towards the bed.

"Ah Xuan, don't be shy. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Get some rest and be well-rested so we can stay in top condition and deal with any unexpected events that may happen next."

"Okay, sorry for the offense, Keiko."

I don't find it offensive at all.

Lan Zehui whispered something in a voice only she could hear, then pulled Zhao Xuan to the bedside.

Meanwhile, in room 310, Bobby and Masaki Murano sat on the sofa, sweating profusely. Facing them was Chulls, who was strapped with explosives, holding a lighter in one hand and a gun pointed at them in the other.

“Bobby, I never intended to meet you this way, but you’re so tactless.”

“As for this Mr. Murano, you know where this is, so I need a hostage.”

"Don't take any chances. Now, stand up and come with me. If you dare to try anything funny, I won't hesitate to send you to meet your maker."

Masaki Murano glared fiercely at Bobby, for it was because of this indecisive guy that his life had been threatened.

They were just discussing a deal when the door was suddenly opened.

That's right, it was opened directly; Churles actually had the key to this room.

At the time, Qius was amused that Daoya and Sato Ai actually wanted to buy Bobby's things for $80,000. He thought that this would completely push Bobby to his side.

As expected of a young person, unreliable and extremely greedy.

Just as Masaki Murano was overjoyed and preparing to leave the Cathay Hotel with Bobby, the door opened and Chur walked in, holding a gun and strapped with grenades and explosives.

Although he had the two under control, Qius was also very annoyed.

Bobby and Kulmaud haven't come to meet him yet. Could something have happened to them?

Was it done by Russian and American agents?

Frustrated, Qius didn't want to deal with those two idiots anymore; all he wanted to do now was leave the Huamao Hotel with them.

Just as Chull opened the door, raised his gun, and gestured for the two to slowly walk out, a series of loud knocks came from the end of the corridor.

Qius was taken aback, and quickly pointed his gun at the two men to stop. Then Qius told Bobby to go to the door and peek out to see what was happening outside.

"It seems to be room 301; a waiter is knocking on the door."

Hearing the continuous, even somewhat aggressive, knocking, Qiu's lips twitched. Was that knocking?
In room 309 across the street, An Ruoxian watched through the peephole as Qiu Ersi kidnapped Bobby and Murano Masaki, but she did nothing, just stared quietly.

In her room were Hwang Deok-fa, Lee Jik-jae, and Choi Jin-woong.

According to their original plan, they also intended to kidnap Li Xiangjun tonight.

But the Kuomintang intelligence agents gave them information, ordering them to halt their operation.

After receiving the instruction, the four people who had gathered together originally planned to return to their respective rooms, but Qiu Ersi's appearance forced them to stay in An Ruoxian's room.

"Why is it so lively tonight!"

Huang Defa picked his nose and cursed in annoyance.

An Ruoxian and Li Zhizai both turned around and glared at him fiercely.

"Don't speak, the situation outside is very complicated."

At this moment, in the corridor, at the door of room 301, Dao Yan knocked on the door repeatedly and then kicked it open, quickly went in, turned on the light, and walked to the center in a few steps.

Seeing that Lan Zehuizi and Zhao Xuan, who had been awakened, were still sitting on the bed, but the two had already drawn their guns and pointed them in their direction.

Dao Yan's face visibly flushed red.

"It really is you! Mr. Zhao, and Miss Lan!"

Aizawa Keiko felt flustered, but at the same time, she was also somewhat pleased.

After exchanging a glance with Dao Yan, Zhao Xuan quickly spoke:
"Ayan, listen to me, it's not what you think."

Dao Yan chuckled and pointed at the two people on the bed:

"We've already slept together, and you still say it's not what I think? Zhao Xuan, how can you face me? How can you face the baby in my belly?"

Zhao Xuan was a little stunned. Baby in my belly, are you serious?

Dao Yan felt a little embarrassed after saying that.

Just now, she acted impulsively, and seeing the two of them sleeping in the same bed, Dao Yan knew that Zhao Xuan was cooperating with her in putting on an act, but she still felt very uncomfortable, and even a little painful.

So, they didn't keep their mouths shut; they said it before they even thought of it.

Hearing this, Lan Ze Huizi looked at Dao Yan with surprise and quickly explained:

"Dao Yan, it's not what you think. Ah Wo, Zhao Sang, and I are really here to carry out a mission."

"Because Zhao Sang wasn't used to sleeping on the sofa, I let him rest on the bed. I swear, we each slept on one side, and we didn't even touch each other!"

Dao Yan glared angrily at Lan Ze Huizi, her eyes already red. After a single tear fell, Dao Yan completely lost control, and tears streamed down her face.

Zhao Xuan quickly got out of bed and walked briskly to Dao Yan's side:
"Ayan, believe me, there's really nothing between Huizi and me."

"And how did you end up here?"

Dao Yan pushed Zhao Xuan away, her face full of grievance and tears streaming down her cheeks:
"If I don't come, how long do you intend to keep this from me?"

At this moment, Keiko Aizawa also came over:

"Dao Yan, it's not what you think. We are indeed here to carry out a mission."

"Prince Tojo will be checking into the Hua Mao Hotel tomorrow. Zhao-san and I are here to protect him. Kishimoto Osamu is also at the Hua Mao Hotel. If you still don't believe me, I can call him over and you can ask him."

"Moreover, the reason we lived together and used false identities was to avoid suspicion, but that should no longer be necessary now."

With Dao Yan making such a scene, how can she keep it a secret? It's estimated that everyone on the floor now knows that Dao Yan came to room 301 to catch her cheating.

Dao Yan's name is quite well-known in Shanghai.

Although this is the French Concession, quite a few people have seen Dao Yan's photos.

If Dao Yan came here to catch her cheating, then who else might be staying in room 301?

Dao Yan, her eyes red and choked with emotion, looked at Zhao Xuan:

"Really?"

Zhao Xuan directly swore:

"Really, I swear, Ayan, we are husband and wife, let's trust each other more."

Dao Yan pursed her lips and turned her gaze to Lan Ze Huizi:

"Really?"

Aizawa Keiko nodded with an awkward smile:

"Really, I'll have Kishimoto Osamu come over right now and we can talk things out face to face, is that alright?"

Dao Yan nodded slightly, and Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, looking gratefully at Lan Zehuizi, who was also quite embarrassed at this moment.

Originally, she really wanted to win over Zhao Xuan tonight, but Dao Yan actually showed up.

Just as Aizawa Keiko was about to change her clothes and then take Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan to find Kishimoto Osamu, gunshots suddenly rang out in the corridor.

The three reacted immediately. Dao Yan quickly turned around and closed the door. Lan Ze Huizi pulled a box from under the bed, took out two pistols, and threw them at Dao Yan.

Without a word, Dao Yan reached out and caught the pistol steadily. Then, with a quick movement, the two guns collided and the bullets were chambered. The whole process was incredibly smooth, leaving Zhao Xuan somewhat astonished.

Dao Yan's skills are simply outrageous!
Then, the three men, guns in hand, walked very carefully toward the door.

Gunfire in the corridor grew more frequent, and within half a minute, a commotion erupted at the entrance of the Hua Mao Hotel, with gunfire outside becoming increasingly dense, and even occasional explosions. "What's happening at the Hua Mao Hotel? Is a large force attacking?"

Hearing Dao Yan's words, Lan Ze Huizi was also dumbfounded. She had anticipated that there might be some changes within the organization.

However, the fact that someone attacked the police officers guarding the police station outside the Cathay Hotel was completely beyond Aizawa Keiko's consideration.

"I don't know, but I'm sure the people outside are there to meet those inside."

"But it's unclear how many groups of people were firing in the corridor."

As Huizi finished speaking, Zhao Xuan said with a solemn expression:

"Judging from the gunshots, there should be three groups of people. The sound of Colt pistols being fired should be from the Americans."

Dao Yan nodded, and continued Zhao Xuan's words:

"Yes, it's the sound of an American M119A1 gun and an M1895 revolver being fired. They're made in Russia."

"The last one is the Webley revolver, made in England."

After hearing Dao Yan's words, Lan Zehuizi was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Dao Yan and Zhao Xuan could tell which country the gunshots came from just by hearing them.

"That should be right. The three groups have started exchanging fire, but they all live on the fourth floor. How did they end up on the third floor?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Zehui's expression changed, and she looked anxiously at Zhao Xuan:

“Zhao Sang, something’s not right. It’s very likely that Qius has made his move, and his goal is probably to kidnap Bobby. Bobby is probably looking for Murano Masaki again. The Russians and American agents probably knew this, which is why they intercepted them on the third floor. Perhaps Murano Masaki and Bobby have already been taken into custody by Qius.”

Zhao Xuan looked at Lan Zehuizi in surprise. She hadn't even seen what was happening outside, yet she had already guessed most of it.

At this moment, Dao Yan also noticed the look Zhao Xuan gave her, and immediately switched gears, her expression becoming extremely anxious:
"Bobby? Ah Xuan, we need to go out and check the situation. Xiaoya might be in danger."

"Xiaoya?"

"Xiaoya!"

Lan Zehui and Zhao Xuan exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"What exactly happened? Is Xiaoya also at the Cathay Hotel?"

Zhao Xuan asked anxiously, and Lan Zehuizi also looked at Dao Yan with a worried expression.

Dao Yan replied with a tense and anxious expression:

"Now is not the time to talk. I will explain to you after I make sure Xiaoya is alright."

Zhao Xuan nodded to Lan Zehuizi, then stepped forward and grasped the doorknob.

With nanobugs watching from the outside and the assistance of dialysis and scanning modes, Zhao Xuan could see the situation outside very clearly.

"careful!"

Lan Zehui and Dao Yan gave the same instruction in unison. Zhao Xuan nodded, quickly opened the door, and appeared in the corridor with a tactical roll.

Upon seeing this, both of them were on tenterhooks.

Bullets don't discriminate, and Zhao Xuan's sudden outburst nearly scared the two of them to death.

As Zhao Xuan fired two shots, Lan Zehui and Dao Yan quickly went outside and pressed themselves against the wall on either side, while Zhao Xuan also rolled over and pressed himself against the wall.

Suddenly caught in a pincer movement, Qius was furious. "If you're going to catch someone cheating, just do it properly. Why are you getting involved in this mess?"
Qiu Ersi and the others heard the roar that came from room 301 very clearly, and they were certain that Dao Yan had come to catch them in the act of adultery.

Unexpectedly, they got involved.

Since Bobby and Culmo hadn't arrived in time, and their colleagues outside had already taken action, Churse didn't want to get entangled with them any longer.

Qius took a grenade from his body and threw it viciously at Zhao Xuan.

Dao Yan and Lan Zehui's pupils contracted sharply, while Zhao Xuan immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

boom--

Boom——

The grenade had barely been thrown a short distance when Zhao Xuan shot it off.

Lan Zehui's eyes lit up, and she and Dao Yan turned sideways and fired their guns almost simultaneously.

The two bullets were fired simultaneously, with an error of no more than 0.1 seconds, and hit Churchill's head perfectly.

Seeing Qius fall to the ground, Bobby and Masaki Murano, who were under threat, grabbed Qius, who was half-exposed in the corridor and about to fall, and pushed him out of the room.

In room 309, An Ruoxian's expression changed drastically upon witnessing this scene:
"Axi!"

After cursing angrily, An Ruoxian quickly turned around, grabbed Lee Jik-jae and Choi Jin-woong with one arm each, and lunged forward.

Boom——

As the explosion rang out, Zhao Xuan simultaneously protected Dao Yan and Lan Zehuizi and rushed back into the room.

The intense heat could be felt even inside the room.

The explosion inside the Cathay Hotel spurred the British agents who were there to meet Churchill and his team to launch an even more frenzied attack on the police station.

The police had never seen anything like this before, and within minutes they were forced into a retreat.

Just then, Iwai Ogawa arrived with the military police.

Seeing this, the police officers, with the help of those inside and outside, killed all the agents who had launched the raid.

Iwai Ogawa didn't dare to delay at all. With a wave of his hand, a squad of military police rushed into the Cathay Hotel.

Meanwhile, after the explosion, Zhao Xuan and the other two hurriedly left the room and went up to the fourth floor together.

Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehui knew exactly which residents lived on the third floor.

Therefore, if Dao Ya is staying at the Cathay Hotel, she must be on the fourth floor.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, the three of them easily found Daoya and Sato Ai's room.

Inside the room, seeing that Sato Ai and Touya looked somewhat pale, Touyan and Aizawa Keiko immediately went to check on them.

After circling around the two of them, asking about their well-being for a while, and confirming that neither of them was injured, Aizawa Keiko finally asked:

"Xiaoya, Xiaoai, what brings you to the Huamao Hotel?"

Sato Ai looked weakly at Toa, who also said with a pitiful expression:

"Sister Huizi, we're here to discuss business."

Lan Zehui's lips twitched, and Dao Yan stepped forward and slapped Dao Ya's butt twice:

"Let's talk business! Let's talk business, I'll let you talk business!"

"Ouch, sis, that hurts!"

Dao Ya quickly hid behind Lan Ze Huizi, who also spread her arms to protect Dao Ya, and looked at Dao Yan kindly and said:

"Dao Yan, forget it. The child is naive and may have been deceived."

Dao Yan pretended to be angry and tried to step forward, but Lan Ze Huizi held her tightly. Left with no other option, Dao Yan could only curse:
"She can be fooled, Miss Keiko. That brat deserves to be taught a lesson. She'll do any kind of business!"

"You say you're here to talk business, but what kind of business are you here to talk about?"

At this moment, Aizawa Keiko also pulled Daoya to her side with great curiosity, looking at her questioningly.

Sato Ai stood to the side looking scared, while Zhao Xuan stood beside her, wanting to laugh but not daring to, watching the show.

He could sense that Sato Ai was also watching the show, and the girl's acting skills seemed to have been passed down from Toa; her fear didn't seem fake at all.

"Oil, huh? I heard about it on the black market before, so I had someone spread the word to contact the seller. I didn't expect to actually get in touch with him. But he said that if we wanted to talk business, we should go to the Hua Mao Hotel. I didn't think much of it and agreed. But I didn't expect you guys to be here too!"

Dao Yan stared at Dao Ya with a chill running down her spine. Oil!

Is this kind of business something you two little girls should be involved in?

Dao Yan knew that Dao Ya must have a mission to come to the Hua Mao Hotel. After all, as the young tiger's single-line contact, her appearance here was definitely not without purpose.

Dao Yan never expected that Dao Ya's reason would be so outrageous.

Keiko Aizawa hadn't expected that, besides Masaki Murano, Bobby's buyers also included Toa.

Moreover, Daoya and Sato Ai now represent the Military Police Headquarters. Even if Murano Masaki is another buyer, in the end, Daoya, Sato Ai, and Murano Masaki will definitely be competing to close this deal.

"So you've reached an agreement?"

This is a question that Aizawa Keiko is very concerned about.

Hearing this, Dao Ya pouted and said with a face full of resentment:

“Bobby has no sincerity at all. I offered him $80,000, but he didn’t agree and went to work with someone else instead. I’m so angry.”

Upon hearing this, Dao Yan and Lan Zehui couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Buying someone else's oil exploration report for $80,000? I don't know what's wrong with Daoya's brain. Isn't this blatant robbery?
The two knew that Daoya wouldn't lie about this, because it would be easy to verify.

With Sato Ai testifying, Dao Yan and Aizawa Keiko didn't continue to pursue the issue.

After they finished talking, Zhao Xuan stepped forward, looked at Dao Ya with a serious expression, and asked:
"Xiaoya, did you say something to Ayan?"

Aizawa Keiko nodded quickly and looked at Daoya, asking:
"Yes, Xiaoya, Daoyan just misunderstood me and Zhao Sang. What exactly did you say to Daoyan?"

Dao Ya's little brain was working quickly, and the cause and effect had already taken shape in her mind.

Then, Dao Ya said with an innocent look:

“I didn’t say anything. My sister came to our house before and asked me where my brother-in-law was. Didn’t you tell me you wouldn’t be coming home for the next few days because you were going on a mission? I told my sister you were on a mission. I promise I didn’t say anything else!”

Lan Ze Huizi looked at Dao Yan:
"Dao Yan, did you hear that? Zhao Sang and I really are here on a mission."

"But what brings you to the Cathay Hotel?"

Dao Yan rolled her eyes, glanced at Dao Ya, and said helplessly:
"It's all because of this brat. She said she was going to the French Concession to discuss some business. How could I let her come here? Besides, I was curious about what kind of business required a trip to the French Concession, so I came along to see what was going on. I never expected that this brat would even dare to get involved in oil!"

At this point, Dao Yan glared at Zhao Xuan again:
"And you, Mr. Zhao, when I saw you two at the restaurant before, I thought I was seeing things. You were probably wearing makeup back then, weren't you?"

Seeing the two nod, Dao Yan continued, rather displeased:

“You registered your accommodation as Mr. Zhao and Ms. Lan, but you only booked one room. Plus, I felt you looked somewhat familiar when I saw you before. Since I’m here, I naturally wanted to clarify things. As it turns out, although there was a misunderstanding, Ms. Huizi, I hope you will book two rooms next time!”
