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

Chapter 282 Instructions
The four men breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, as they had only found listening devices in these two locations within the room.

Therefore, all four of them believed that the listening devices in Daoya and Sato Ai's room had indeed been completely removed.

Dao Ya found it amusing; were these four guys really secret agents?
Or were they just too confident, thinking that there were only these two places where there were bugging devices?

Dao Ya didn't believe the Japanese had only installed two listening devices in this room, and she received a hint from Ding Moqun while eating.

Daoya then realized there was still a listening device in the room.

However, the reason Daoya told them all this was firstly to test whether they had discovered all the listening devices in their respective rooms.

Secondly, it was to tell them that at the Cathay Hotel, she, Dao Ya, was the most powerful figure, the one they could reach.

After listening to Dao Ya's words, Sophia and the other three were indeed deeply moved. It's true that having connections in high places makes things much easier; the listening device that Iwai Ogawa had installed was removed just like that.

"Ms. Dao, Ms. Sato, we've come to you today to ask if our previous collaboration still stands."

Daoya and Sato Ai exchanged a glance, then Daoya squinted at the four people on the opposite sofa:

"I suppose your weapons have been confiscated?"

Sofia and the other three nodded helplessly.

A gunfight broke out in the stairwell, which many people heard. They didn't even have time to hide their weapons before the military police arrived.

However, they made up a reason for possessing weapons, and given their special status, Iwai Hisakawa didn't make things difficult for them; he simply confiscated their weapons.

"Unfortunately, the weapons the British hid were also confiscated, so now we have nothing. Moreover, Bobby is under close surveillance by Iwai Hisakawa. Do you think we still have a chance?"

Thors and Gomarev looked at Daoya with grim expressions, but what Daoya said was true.

Without weapons, there is no initiative.

The embassy will probably come to pick them up soon, but since the mission wasn't completed, they'll definitely be in big trouble when they get back.

So the four of them were still thinking of taking a gamble, at least to see if Daoya still wanted to do that business.

If Daoya is still willing, then they are not without a chance.

In addition, what Dao Ya just said made them realize that Dao Ya still wields considerable influence at the Hua Mao Hotel.

"Miss Dao, what if we insist on doing this business?"

Jenny looked at Daoya with a serious expression and said something.

Dao Ya looked at them with a half-smile, and they could read the word "sincerity" in her eyes.

Sofia took a deep breath, slowly clenched her fist, and said:
Miss Dao

Sofia was about to make a statement, but Daoya interrupted her directly:

"Alright, you four, Bobby is no longer someone we can contact. What you want to do next is none of my business."

"Let me see a few of them out."

After saying that, Dao Ya stood up, her attitude of seeing the guest off very firm.

Thors glared angrily at Daoya, then snorted and stood up.

Seeing this, the other three stood up helplessly and turned to walk towards the door.

Dao Ya followed the four of them step by step, slowly walking to the door of the room.

The four turned around, and Jenny reached out to shake hands with Daoya:

"Ms. Dao, please contact us if you change your mind."

Jenny paused for a moment after saying this, and then Daoya smiled and said:
"I'm really sorry, but my uncle told me during dinner not to get involved in anything here."

"Therefore, our cooperation ends here. Goodbye!"

After seeing the four people off, Dao Ya turned and went back.

Sato Ai stood in front of the sofa, watching Toa return and asking:
"Xiaoya, are we just going to give up like this?"

Daoya shrugged, knowing exactly what Sato Ai meant. The person who had used a fake oil exploration report to scheme against them hadn't been found yet.

"Alright, Xiao Ai, let's just stay here for a few days."

Sato Ai sighed, nodded, and said:

"Xiaoya, take me with you when you go out to eat later. I don't like eating with Lanze Huizi."

Daoya chuckled and stepped forward, taking Sato Ai's hand and agreeing repeatedly:

"Okay, I know. My uncle suddenly invited our family to dinner today and didn't have time to tell you. It won't happen again. I'll take you with me wherever I go."

"it is good!"

At this moment, Jenny and Sophia, who had left Daoya's room, exchanged a glance and then returned to their respective residences for the time being.

Once back in his room, Tors could no longer contain himself. Ignoring whether there were any listening devices, he roared:
“Jenny, why are you stopping me? We were actually fooled by a brat! She never intended to work with us, fuck!”

Jenny quickly tried to calm Thors down. After she pulled him back to the sofa, she gestured for Thors to continue complaining before unfolding the note she had been holding in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Tors' pupils contracted slightly.

The note read simply: Continue the cooperation. The weapons you need are from the ceiling of the room of German arms dealer Marus!

Thors took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming as he continued to curse Daoya, but his face was already full of smiles.

Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. Since Daoya still wanted to continue the business and even provided the location of the weapons, the next step was to get the weapons.

However, this is a big problem.

On the other side, Zhao Xuan met Lan Zehui in the storage room of the former Huamao Hotel on the first floor.

This storage room has been temporarily converted into a guardhouse by Iwai Ogawa's men, and Bobby is being supervised here.

Standing at the door of the storage room, Zhao Xuan glanced through the glass in the door at Bobby, who was having a meal inside, before turning to Aizawa Keiko and asking:
"Huizi, what are you planning to do?"

Aizawa Keiko smiled and said teasingly:
"That guy Iwai Hisagawa brought Bobby here, but we still couldn't get anything from him. Ah Xuan, do you think that makes sense?"

Zhao Xuan also laughed:

"Oh? What exactly is the situation?"

Keiko Aizawa repeated what Bobby had said to Hisakawa Iwai.

It has to be said that Poppy is quite a talent; she actually managed to fool Iwai Hisakawa.

Bobby's method of deceiving Iwai Hisakawa was quite simple; he simply repeated the same lines he used to deceive Sophia and the others to Iwai Hisakawa.

No matter how much Iwai pressed Bobby for answers, he insisted that it was impossible for him to carry such valuables with him, and that he had deposited them in Citibank before coming to the Cathay Hotel.

Now, Iwai Hisakawa dares not leave the Cathay Hotel at will, because he himself does not know when Tojo Jun will check in.

If he leaves and Tojo Jun happens to arrive, even if Tojo Jun doesn't get into trouble, he will still be guilty of dereliction of duty.

So for now, Iwai Ogawa can only keep Bobby locked up here and wait until everything is over before taking that thing from Bobby.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's thoughtful expression, Lan Zehui asked with a smile:

"Ah Xuan, do you think what Bobby said is true?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"No, although Citibank has improved its security measures several levels since the last incident, it's not impossible for the same thing to happen again."

"You need to understand, this is tens of millions of dollars. Do you think Bobby would feel comfortable keeping it in Citibank?"

Aizawa Keiko shook her head:

"It shouldn't be, but it's strange that Iwai Hisakawa searched him carefully and found nothing."

“Just like you said, Bobby doesn’t even trust Citibank for something that’s so important, so he definitely wouldn’t hide it anywhere else.”

Zhao Xuan replied with a smile:

"Indeed, so the question is, when Iwai Hisakawa conducted the search, was it before or after Bobby's injuries were treated?"

Aizawa Keiko's eyes lit up as she looked out the window at Bobby, whose hand was in a cast and whose stomach was wrapped in gauze.

"I know where it is. This guy is really cunning."

Zhao Xuan glanced at it and smiled:
"It's unlikely to be in the plaster cast; the most probable place is in the gauze wrapped around the abdomen."

Aizawa Keiko thought about it and agreed that it made sense. The plaster cast was applied by the doctor who accompanied her from the military police hospital, so it shouldn't have given Bobby a chance to hide anything there. That left only the gauze around her stomach.

Keiko Aizawa couldn't quite understand it. Even if Bobby had photographed the oil exploration report and kept the film, it was still very obvious to touch it, even if it was wrapped in gauze.

So how did Bobby escape Iwai's search?
Seeing Lan Zehui's confusion, Zhao Xuan sighed:

"Keiko, I have to say Bobby is a tough one."

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko understood, and the way she looked at Bobby through the window changed slightly.

He actually sealed the film and hid it in his wound. This guy is risking his life for money!

If it takes too long to heal, you'll have to have surgery again to remove the stuff. And most importantly, aren't you afraid of getting it infected?

"So, Keiko, you called me here just to ask where this guy hid the thing?"

Aizawa Keiko shook her head with a serene smile:

"Not really, it's just that Masaki Murano has been sent to the emergency room, and he can't complete the task his mother gave him, so I plan to take over."

“However, the problem now is that I can't get in touch with Bobby. Iwai Ogawa is keeping a close watch on him, and there are two agents from the mansion inside.” Zhao Xuan led Lan Zehuizi to a place some distance away from the military police and said in a low voice:

“Previously, we analyzed that the oil exploration report in Bobby’s possession was likely fake, but now it seems that Iwai Ogawa is very convinced that the report is genuine, otherwise he would not have protected Bobby so closely.”

"And it's very strange that Iwai Ogawa believed what Bobby said."

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko said:

“Last night, after Iwai Ogawa arrived with the military police, they first dealt with the attackers outside, and then found two unconscious British men in the kitchen of the Western restaurant. The one who kidnapped Murano Masaki was also that British man named Churchill. So I suspect that the reason why Iwai Ogawa believed that the thing was real was probably closely related to the two British men who were captured.”

Dao Yan had told Zhao Xuan about this.

The kitchen was where the British hid their weapons and ammunition; Zhao Xuan had told Dao Ya this.

Later, Dao Ya ran into Dao Yan in the kitchen of a Western restaurant; those two were the ones Dao Yan had taken down.

In addition, Zhao Xuan had previously used nanobugs to monitor the British and overheard the conversation between Church and Bobby, from which he learned that the oil exploration team was sent by the British.

The British were convinced that the oil exploration report was genuine, and Zhao Xuan guessed that something unknown had happened in between.

In short, the current situation is that Iwai Hisakawa, through those two British guys, seems to be convinced that the oil exploration report is real.

If all of this was done by Kyoko Watanabe, then was she really just trying to lure agents from various countries to the Cathay Hotel?

Zhao Xuan previously believed that this was to increase influence when Tojo Jun signed the agreement with Marus, and that should be correct.

However, given Watanabe Kyoko's personality, she probably wouldn't have planned this so far in advance just for this one thing, especially since this game is very detailed; if even one link goes wrong, the whole game could collapse.

If Watanabe Kyoko wanted to increase her influence, she had many other ways to do so and shouldn't have resorted to such a complicated method.

Now that things have developed to this point, Zhao Xuan's analysis is becoming increasingly clear.

That's when Zhao Xuan realized that Watanabe Kyoko's actions were definitely not solely about the agreement between Tojo Jun and Marus; she had other motives as well!
But so far, Zhao Xuan still hasn't figured out what Watanabe Kyoko's other purpose is.

Having dealt with Watanabe Kyoko for so long, Zhao Xuan has discovered that this woman is cunning, extremely difficult to deal with, and likes to hide in the shadows. Even if Zhao Xuan wanted to use his analytical mode to find out more about her, he couldn't.

"In that case, let's wait and see. Anyway, Bobby is being watched here and can't escape, nor can she leave anytime soon."

“Once Prince Tojo arrives and the situation becomes clearer, we’ll think of a solution.”

Aizawa Keiko nodded; for now, that was the only option.

Meanwhile, room 501 on the fifth floor of the Chinachem Hotel.

Ding Moqun breathed a sigh of relief upon learning from the eavesdropping that Dao Ya had seriously rejected Sophia and the others.

However, after these few interactions with Iwai Hisakawa, Ding Moqun also felt that Iwai Hisakawa's attitude towards Bobby was a bit too good, and he even specially arranged for someone to protect Bobby.

This is absolutely not normal.

Could it be that the oil exploration report Bobby has is genuine?

For a moment, Ding Moqun even felt a little insecure.

After coming out of the study, Iwai Hisakawa waved to Ding Moqun.

After sitting down on the sofa, Ding Moqun smiled and said:
"Mr. Iwai, it seems that Prince Tojo will not be able to arrive today."

Iwai Hisakawa's lips curled up slightly:

"Director Ding, you're wrong about that. That's what I thought too, but I just received news that Prince Tojo will arrive on time at 7 p.m. tonight."

Upon hearing this, Ding Moqun's eyelids twitched. Tojo Jun had come so suddenly; there had been no prior notice.

Seeing Ding Moqun's puzzled expression, Iwai Ogawa didn't hide anything from Ding Moqun because he had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Kagesa over the phone half an hour earlier.

"Director Ding, Prince Tojo was originally going to meet someone, but luckily, that person was found quickly and will be staying with Prince Tojo tonight."

Ding Moqun was very curious about the person that Iwai Hisakawa mentioned.

Who could possibly be someone that Tojo Jun would personally go to see, even at the cost of delaying his check-in at the Cathay Hotel?

However, Ding Moqun didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject, which was something Ding Moqun was also curious about.

"Mr. Iwai, is Prince Tojo's visit really just for filming a movie?"

Iwai Ogawa smiled and nodded:
"Yes, Prince Tojo is very talented in art, and he developed his career in this field. Moreover, Prince Tojo is not only of high status, but also very famous among the Japanese people. Many people in Japan love the movies made by Prince Tojo."

"This time, Prince Tojo specifically prepared to make this film to encourage our plan to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and this has received high praise from the Cabinet and the Imperial Family."

"Completing this mission will not only bring us considerable credit, but also demonstrate our capabilities to the Cabinet and the Royal Family. Director Ding, you've really struck gold this time."

Ding Moqun nodded repeatedly with a smile. If he hadn't sided with Yingzuo, he would have been left with no choice but to watch this mission unfold.

After this mission ended, Ding Moqun felt that he could still be promoted to the position of director of No. 76. To be honest, Ding Moqun looked down on him a bit now.

The main reason was that he was provoked by Zhao Xuan. Now, Zhao Xuan not only has a lot of influence in the Special Higher Police, but also has a high profile in the Military Police Headquarters.

It's safe to say that in Shanghai, almost no Japanese person would disrespect Zhao Xuan.

Ding Moqun saw all of this, which is why he was so eager to climb higher, at least not to let Zhao Xuan outshine him.

The time was 7 p.m. that evening.

Everyone who had been notified gathered in the ballroom on the second floor to await Tojo Jun's arrival.

Lan Zehuizi and Zhao Xuan were sitting at the bar, and it was clear that Huizi was also very surprised.

"Ah Xuan, why did Uncle Tojo suddenly change his plans?"

“I just had Yua call Uncle Tojo herself not long ago, but Uncle Tojo replied that he probably can’t come today. He seems to have something very important to take care of before he comes here.”

After listening, Zhao Xuan said thoughtfully:

"That means Prince Tojo has probably finished his business."

"Why think so much? We just need to wait quietly for Prince Tojo to arrive. For now, we just need to keep an eye on the people here, especially those Koreans."

Lan Zehui glanced at the spot Zhao Xuan was looking at out of the corner of his eye, and then nodded slightly without making it obvious.

The dance hall was quite full tonight.

This seems to be what Tojo Jun meant.

Tonight, Jun Tojo will announce the filming plans for the movie.

However, none of the reporters from various countries that Iwai Hisakawa had contacted came, so Tojo Jun's real purpose was definitely to sign an alliance agreement with Marus.

However, judging from the current situation, the two matters are clearly being handled separately, which indicates that Germany and Japan have not yet reached an agreement.

It's likely that Tojo Jun's visit this time is also for final negotiations with Marus, which is why he's allowed ample time in between.

Iwai Hisagawa should already know this, and even if he doesn't, given his intelligence, the fact that Tojo Jun announced the filming plans before the reporters arrived, he should be able to guess something else.

"Sister Huizi, you're here!"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehuizi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dao Yan, Dao Ya, and Sato Ai walking together. Lan Zehuizi smiled, stood up, and went to greet them.
"Xiaoya, stay close to your sister, your brother-in-law, and me. Don't wander off. And Xiaoai, you do the same."

Daoya and Sato Ai nodded obediently.

Originally, as Ding Moqun had instructed, they planned to stay in their rooms.

However, Iwai Ogawa received orders from Tojo Jun, but he also felt that leaving the person in the room would mean he would never see them.

Only by keeping them under his watchful eye could Iwai Ogawa feel at ease. Therefore, tonight, everyone staying at the Cathay Hotel was "invited" to the second-floor ballroom.

Li Xiangjun wore a bright red dress tonight, showing off her graceful and charming figure. With her exquisite makeup, she attracted the attention of a large number of people in the dance hall as soon as she appeared.

After whispering a few words to Li Xiangjun, Iwai Hisakawa walked towards Zhao Xuan with Ding Moqun.

Approaching, Iwai Hisakawa nodded to Aizawa Keiko and Zhao Xuan, then looked at Dao Yan, raised his wine glass and drank a sip with Dao Yan before saying:

"Thank you so much, Section Chief Dao. If it weren't for you, the Hua Mao Hotel would have been in complete chaos."

After Iwai Ogawa checked into the Cathay Hotel, Dao Yan told Iwai Ogawa about how he had taken down two British men who were retrieving weapons in the kitchen.

The main problem is that this matter can't be kept secret any longer.

Later, it was confirmed from the two British men that what Dao Yan said was true: Iwai Ogawa just thought Dao Yan was very good, at least in terms of combat strength, but he never thought of thanking him like this.

The reason Iwai Ogawa expressed his gratitude tonight is simply because Ding Moqun is now Yingzuo's representative in Shanghai.

Dao Yan was naturally aware of this, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Iwai Ogawa went straight to the point:

"I need to go prepare to welcome Prince Tojo. Section Chief Aizawa, Director Ding, let's go together."

Lan Zehui glanced at Zhao Xuan, and seeing that Zhao Xuan nodded, she didn't say anything more. Ding Moqun, however, instructed Zhao Xuan and Dao Yan not to let Dao Ya cause trouble when they saw her, and then followed Iwai Yangchuan out of the second floor.

At this time, military police were stationed in almost every corner of the second floor, providing comprehensive surveillance from every angle.

No movement in the area escaped the eyes of the military police.

Furthermore, Iwai Ogawa had spies from the mansion infiltrate the crowd, so no one knew whether the people around them were spies.

This was also arranged by Iwai Hisakawa to deal with unexpected events.

With such tight security, Dao Yan looked around and felt utterly hopeless.

How can we assassinate Tojo Jun in this situation?
In particular, everyone had to be searched upon entry, and weapons were not allowed inside, which greatly increased the difficulty of the assassination.

Noticing Zhao Xuan tighten his grip on her hand, Dao Yan let out a soft breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Dao Ya pulling Sato Ai to the bartender for wine, chatting and laughing as they drank. Dao Yan lowered her voice and asked:

"Honey, is your idea really going to work? With the current security situation, the mission is impossible to complete. If it's too dangerous, let's give up."
