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

Chapter 296 Skills
Dao Yan nodded:
“I agree. After all, I don’t want the members of Dawn to forever bear the reputation of traitors.”

Upon hearing this, Su Min and Huang Qingzhi clenched their fists.

The two of them have always held a grudge about this matter.

At that time, Chen Xiaohui, the leader of Dawn, was dead, but another guy was still alive and well, and even gained the favor of the Japanese.

It's just that that guy isn't in Shanghai right now, otherwise Su Min and Huang Qingzhi would have already wanted to carry out a unilateral anti-traitor operation.

Yi Xincheng, Chen Xiaohui!
Because of their betrayal, Su Min and Huang Qingzhi still feel ashamed to face their colleagues.

"Alright, go out now, don't keep the deputy stationmaster waiting."

Watching the three of them leave the study, Fu Zhengguo smiled:
"Xiao Dao, it seems you've gotten all the questions you wanted to ask?"

Dao Yan responded:
"Yes."

"Deputy Station Chief, what's the new mission?"

Fu Zhengguo took a telegram from the drawer:
"At Tianjin Station, we intercepted a classified intelligence report from the Japanese army. Not long ago, a train carrying poison gas bombs was intercepted by the underground party. However, it was later discovered that the poison gas bombs being transported were a feint by the Japanese. What they really wanted to transfer was an expert in the manufacture of poison gas bombs."

"The Japanese plan to restart the Sheshan project. The Hurricane Team's mission is to eliminate the poison gas bomb manufacturing expert. The operation is codenamed 'Decapitation'!"

"As the outpost for the decapitation operation, you need to ascertain the expert's accurate information."

Dao Yan frowned deeply:
"Deputy station chief, do you mean that Tianjin station only received this one piece of information, but they haven't even figured out who the expert is?"

Fu Zhengguo sighed:
"Obtaining this intelligence was purely accidental, but because of it, the Tianjin station suffered heavy losses. The fact that the higher-ups were able to obtain this intelligence was thanks to the sacrifices of many colleagues at the Tianjin station."

"If the Sheshan project is indeed restarted, that expert will definitely be sent to Shanghai first. The train that the underground party intercepted was under the security of the original organization, so this matter should be closely related to the original organization."

Are you confident you can accomplish this task?

Dao Yan pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded solemnly:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Fu Zhengguo looked at Dao Yan and the other two, and after a long while, he spoke again:
"Little Knife, I know it will be difficult for you to start from the original mechanism, so if you can ask Young Tiger for help, please don't hesitate."

Dao Yan clenched his fists, seeking help from the young tiger.

Alright, Dao Yan was just about to settle a score with You Hu. If he sees him this time, hehe.
"Understood, I will try to make contact with Young Tiger and get him involved."

Leaving Fu Zhengguo's room, Su Min and Huang Qingzhi shook hands with Dao Yan in the corridor:
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Su Min, from the 12th Special Training Class. I am skilled in disguise and infiltration, and my code name is 'Crescent Moon'."

"My name is Huang Qingzhi, from the tenth special training class. I am skilled in combat, firearms, and driving. My code name is 'Qingfeng'."

Dao Yan nodded slightly:
"Dao Yan, sixth term of the training class, specializes in combat, codename 'Phoenix Tail Orchid'."

Neither of them took Dao Yan's claim of being skilled in combat to heart. In any case, Su Min didn't think Dao Yan was as good as Huang Qingzhi in combat.

"Alright, I'm going back now. I'll go make the soup at this time, and it will be ready by tomorrow morning."

Watching Dao Yan's departing figure, Su Min tugged at Huang Qingzhi's sleeve:
"Hey, do you think the team leader has really fallen for that traitor? He's going back so late to make nourishing soup for Zhao Xuan."

Huang Qingzhi rolled his eyes:

"Can you stop being so gossipy? She's a phoenix orchid, how could she possibly like a traitor? I think the team leader is using Zhao Xuan's identity as a cover. Think about it, Zhao Xuan is now a traitor even bigger than Ding Moqun. I want that kind of cover too!"

Su Min spat at Huang Qingzhi:
"Pah! What on earth are you men thinking?"

Meanwhile, Wusong Road Special Higher Police Department.

After returning, Aizawa Keiko didn't rest at all. She used all the resources at her disposal and finally found out who was responsible for the explosion: Young Tiger!

To be honest, Aizawa Keiko was completely stunned the moment she saw the intelligence.

Is the baby tiger at the Cathay Hotel?
She had practically worn out the files of those guests, but among them, let alone Young Tiger, she hadn't found a single hair of him.

However, the final investigation revealed that it was the young tiger who assassinated Tojo Jun. In short, Aizawa Keiko's mind is now in complete chaos.

How could it be a tiger cub?
Does that guy have the ability to become invisible or something?
dong dong!

A knock sounded at the door. Aizawa Keiko took two deep breaths before looking towards the door:

"Enter!"

Seeing Yoshiaki Saki walk in, Keiko Aizawa suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Section Chief, the Cabinet's decision has been made."

Looking into Aizawa Keiko's eyes, Saki Yoshiaki opened the folder and took out the latest telegram he had received.

After taking it, Aizawa Keiko glanced at the last line of text, and her expression turned ferocious:

"Bagaya road!"

"Uncle Tojo is dead, and this is their reaction? He's a prince!"

Enraged, Aizawa Keiko slammed her hand on the table and stood up, then slumped back into her chair, exhausted.

Sure enough, just as my mother said, it was all just a political struggle.

Forcing the Tojo family to fully support the war is also a political struggle between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and traditional intelligence agencies!

Judging from the current outcome, the traditional intelligence agencies have won, and Tojo Jun and Iwai Hisakawa are the victims of this struggle.

"Young Tiger. Military Intelligence Bureau and Kuomintang!"

After muttering a couple of words, Aizawa Keiko looked up at Saki Yoshiaki:
"Fine, if they won't take it, I will!"

Anyway, Ai Zehui will definitely avenge Uncle Tojo and Zhao Xuan!

"Saki-kun, prepare the intelligence we collected earlier regarding the location of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). I need it for tomorrow's meeting!"

Although they knew that the Shanghai Station was hidden in the French Concession, now that they had all withdrawn from the French Concession, it would be difficult to get back in.

Because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been thoroughly offended by them this time.

Without communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it would be impossible to enter the French Concession in such a high-profile manner unless the army intervened and directly occupied it.

There's one more thing that's bothering Aizawa Keiko now.

Li Xiangjun was kidnapped, but the police did not give them an explanation when they left.

It should be noted that the police were stationed outside after the explosion. Sophia and her companions could be said to have escaped because the police were in a hurry to enter the Cathay Hotel at the time of the explosion and did not notice them.

But the fact that the police station didn't notice Li Xiangjun being kidnapped is quite intriguing.

Lan Zehui was almost certain that there must be an inside agent within the police station who had kidnapped Li Xiangjun's group.

The group that kidnapped Li Xiangjun, although from South Korea, could also be considered as vassals of the Kuomintang.

So they were working for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

This is understandable. It's certain that the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to kidnap Li Xiangjun. After all, they definitely wanted to know what role Li Xiangjun played in the previous Eling Operation in Chongqing, or rather, to find a scapegoat.

However, Li Xiangjun is a big star after all, and Lan Zehuizi believes that they are still hiding in the French Concession.

Just thinking about the French Concession Governor's face, if one day they really occupied the French Concession, Aizawa Keiko vowed to twist off Smith's head and hang it on the mast of the dock!
After Sasaki Yoshiaki left, Aizawa Keiko made a phone call to Kishimoto Osamu:
"You should already know the cabinet's decision. At tomorrow's meeting, I will launch an operation targeting the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). Since we can't find the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (MBIS) right now, let those guys from the CBIS help us find them. I think they'll be happy to do so."

Osamu Kishimoto's expression changed slightly:
"Section Chief, the Madam said that we shouldn't take any action against the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) for the time being."

Aizawa Keiko's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, making Kishimoto Osamu's skin crawl.
"She's the section chief, and I'm the section chief?"

"Yes, Section Chief, I understand. I will make preparations immediately and ensure that there will be no oversights in tomorrow's operation."

After dismissing Kishimoto Osamu, Aizawa Keiko made another phone call, summoning Yamayu Kazuo over.

Looking at the exhausted-looking Aizawa Keiko, Yamayu Kazuo sighed:
"Section Chief, take a rest. I've heard about Zhao Sang's situation. The Cabinet has also made a decision to add advisor positions with the rank of Captain."

"Once Zhao Sang recovers from his injuries and returns, he can take up his post immediately. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to Zhao Sang this time will be taught a lesson!"

Lan Zehui nodded coldly. Her family had also contributed to the rescue. After all, Zhao Xuan had saved her, and if her family didn't show some appreciation, Lan Zehui would have sent a telegram back to give those stable boys a good scolding.

"Mr. Shanxiong, I'm going to take action against the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!"

Yamayu Kazuo paused slightly, then lowered his head and said solemnly:
"Section Chief, have you consulted the Chairman?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Yamayu Kazuo's lips twitched. Oh no, the young mistress and the old lady are having a fight.

"Of course, you can tell your mother now."

Yamayu Kazuo sighed:
"Section Chief, I am now your subordinate, and I must carry out your orders. Rest assured, as long as the intelligence is accurate, I guarantee that no agent of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will be able to escape from me tomorrow."

"Yoshi! Yamano-kun, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Go and get ready."

Because the Japanese were withdrawing from the French Concession, Aizawa Keiko was worried about Zhao Xuan continuing to receive treatment at Gongji Hospital, so she transferred him back to the Military Police Hospital overnight.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan was controlling the nanobugs to conduct reconnaissance inside the Iwai Mansion.

Zhao Xuan had already confirmed Zhu Cheng's identity in interrogation room 76; he was just an imposter, and Zhao Xuan wasn't particularly interested in him.

Moreover, Miao Xue handled things very well; with Miao Xue there, Zhao Xuan didn't need to worry.

The most important thing now is to find out what Watanabe Kyoko is trying to do by keeping an eye on the Iwai Mansion.
With Iwai Ogawa captured, the Iwai Mansion is leaderless. The nanobugs scanned in, and so far, Zhao Xuan hasn't found anything amiss regarding the identities of the people inside.

In about ten minutes, the entire Iwai Mansion was scanned by nano-flying insects, but Zhao Xuan found nothing.

Lying alone on a bed in a special ward at the military police hospital, staring at the ceiling, Zhao Xuan was somewhat bewildered.

If there's nothing wrong with the Iwai Mansion, then why is Watanabe Kyoko keeping an eye on it?
After thinking for a few minutes, Zhao Xuan's face darkened. Damn it, had he been blown silly?
Why bother looking up Iwai Mansion? Just look up No. 18 Shanyin Road!
Since there are no problems at the Iwai Mansion, why not just go and see what Watanabe Kyoko is planning to do?

After realizing what was happening, Zhao Xuan felt helpless and immediately had Edith retrieve the nanobugs from the Iwai Mansion and release them back towards No. 18 Shanyin Road, Hongkou District.

As dawn broke, half-asleep and half-awake, Edith's notification sound rang in Zhao Xuan's mind.

(Sir, we have discovered nano-flying insects. Can we share our field of view?)
Zhao Xuan instantly regained his senses and immediately connected to the nanobug's vision. He had already confirmed a document in the scanning mode, and Zhao Xuan immediately instructed the nanobug to start dialysis mode.

Although remote control cannot use the dialysis mode to explore the target's psychological activities, another function of the dialysis mode, X-ray vision, can still be achieved.

His gaze swept across the safe, and Edith's rapid scan of one of the documents revealed its textual content in Zhao Xuan's mind.

After reading the document, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Good guy!
Over the past two years, there has been an unusual expense at the Iwai Mansion almost every month, and the beneficiaries of this expense are actually the Communist Party!
This discovery surprised Zhao Xuan.

No wonder Kyoko Watanabe was keeping an eye on the Iwai Mansion; she probably suspected that an underground party agent was deeply entrenched there.

However, Zhao Xuan was certain that there were no underground party members at the Iwai Mansion, not even members of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

It's fair to say that the Iwai Mansion is the cleanest department among all the intelligence agencies in Shanghai.

Kyoko Watanabe is still investigating this matter. Once she finds out that there is no problem with the Iwai Mansion, where will her attention turn?

Without much thought, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately came to Zhao Xuan's mind.

The Shanghai Foreign Ministry previously fully supported the development of the Iwai Mansion.

Therefore, the problem with the unusual expenses at the Iwai Mansion likely lies with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

An underground Communist Party agent infiltrated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and even gained some financial power. This comrade is awesome!

Then, it will be easy to determine the identity of this comrade.

He was working undercover in the department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that liaised with the Iwai residence!

Having confirmed this, Zhao Xuan knew he had to race against time and arrange for the comrade to evacuate before Watanabe Kyoko did.

Because if I can think of it, then once Kyoko Watanabe has confirmed that there are no problems with the Iwai Mansion, she will definitely be able to think of it immediately as well.

Having barely slept all night, Zhao Xuan had Edith retrieve the nanobugs. At that moment, Zhao Xuan really wanted to slap himself.

We shouldn't have rushed Edith to retrieve the nanobugs from the Iwai Mansion. Otherwise, we could have used those nanobugs to get to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in no time.

Half an hour later, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Archives, Zhao Xuan manipulated the nanobugs to scan the area and confirmed the department that was in contact with the Iwai Mansion.

Unfortunately, everyone is still sound asleep at home. Even if Zhao Xuan wanted to investigate, he couldn't go door-to-door to confirm their identities. He would have to wait until the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff came to work to further verify their identities.

Early in the morning, Dao Yan brought the soup that had been simmering all night to the military police hospital.

Inside the intensive care unit, Dao Yan held a bowl of chicken soup, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it for a moment, and then carefully fed it to Zhao Xuan.
"Honey, time for your soup!"

Zhao Xuan's expression was somewhat stiff, and he drank the soup without daring to move.

For some reason, Dao Yan was acting strangely today, giving Zhao Xuan a feeling of "Da Lang, it's time to take your medicine!"
Zhao Xuan quickly activated the dialysis mode and breathed a sigh of relief after understanding Dao Yan's thoughts. It turned out that Dao Yan suspected him of being a cub!
"Ayan, is there something you want to ask me?"

Dao Yan smiled, scooped up another spoonful of soup, blew on it a few times, and then fed it to Zhao Xuan.

"No!"

Zhao Xuan quickly finished the soup:
"Don't worry, there's no eavesdropping here."

Upon hearing this, Dao Yan's expression changed, and she looked at Zhao Xuan seriously, asking:

“Ah Xuan, I’m very curious, how did you cover your tracks after you went in there, so that so many people didn’t notice that someone had passed through?”

"Also, have you been to other places?"

After discerning Dao Yan's thoughts, Zhao Xuan had already prepared his explanation.

"It's very simple. All you need is a screwdriver. Of course, I can't say there won't be any traces at all. But the explosion caused dust to fall due to the vibration, which may have covered up the traces of my actions."

"As for other places, even if I wanted to go, I wouldn't have the energy. Just clearing the roadblocks along the way took up a lot of time, and then I had to restore them. In such a short time, where else would you want me to go?"

"By the way, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did you find out who planted the explosives?"

Dao Yan smiled and shook her head:

"No, just focus on recovering."

Okay, still suspicious, Zhao Xuan glanced at Dao Yan and silently began to drink his soup.

When Zhao Xuan went to work at the Huamao Hotel, he had considered that Dao Yan might suspect him, and that Dao Yan might even directly confirm his identity.

However, it's about time to let Dao Yan know her true identity.

The situation in the mountain city is becoming increasingly complicated. It's fortunate that Chen Chuyin was able to escape this time. If not, Zhao Xuan will have no choice but to reveal his identity to Dao Yan and then work together to eliminate all uncertainties.

Without Chen Chuyin, Zhao Xuan felt there was no need for a new stationmaster in Shanghai, except for Fu Zhengguo, of course.

After all, within the Shanghai station, Dao Yan is only safe if Fu Zhengguo becomes the stationmaster.

Half an hour later, Dao Yan left the ward and saw Dao Ya leaning against the wall, waiting for him quietly.

Seeing her sister come out, Dao Ya sighed and said:
"Sister, the meeting may have to wait a while. He has a new mission, so he's not here for the time being."

Dao Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at the door of the special care ward, and then nodded with a smile:
"Alright, then I'll wait a bit longer. But tell him that if he can't discuss future actions with me in advance, then he shouldn't interfere with any missions I take on!"

After saying that, Dao Yan picked up her lunchbox and left, her high heels clicking as she walked away.

Watching her sister's retreating figure, Dao Ya pouted. Why should I be caught in the middle, torn between you and your husband?
After Dao Yan left, Zhao Xuan controlled the nanobugs to scan the confirmed departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sure enough, a man named You Shu confirmed Zhao Xuan's previous suspicions.

[You Shu, male, 35 years old, from China, member of the underground Communist Party, codename "Disconnected"]

Code name disconnected!

This code name was quite refreshing for Zhao Xuan.

After confirming that You Shu was the person Watanabe Kyoko was looking for, Zhao Xuan immediately had Edith contact Sun Jianzhong.

In a secluded room in the back of Hankou Road, after hanging up the phone, Sun Jianzhong looked at Wang Shuyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a blank expression.

"Uncle Sun, what's wrong? Who called?"

Sun Jianzhong coughed lightly, and after regaining his composure, said:

"Ms. Edith, Comrade Chenguang's subordinate."

Wang Shuyu blinked. Wasn't Chenguang offline Lin Jieru?
Seeing Wang Shuyu's confusion, Sun Jianzhong waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry about that for now. The current situation is that Chenguang has confirmed that a secret Japanese department is looking for someone, and that person is a comrade named You Shu, codenamed 'Broken Line'."

"Shuyu, do you remember this person?"

Wang Shuyu shook her head blankly:

“Uncle Sun, you don’t know, how would I know? Comrade You Shu was likely directly assigned by the base area, and being able to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs means his identity is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.”

"It's truly impressive that Chenguang was able to find out this much. But why are the Japanese looking for him?"

Sun Jianzhong recounted to Wang Shuyu the situation regarding the Japanese keeping an eye on the Iwai Mansion.

After listening, Wang Shuyu said with certainty:
“Uncle Sun, it seems that Comrade You Shu is indeed in danger. If possible, we must arrange for his evacuation as soon as possible. Once the Japanese are certain that there is no problem with the Iwai Mansion, they will definitely investigate further, and You Shu will not escape this investigation.”

Sun Jianzhong looked at Wang Shuyu awkwardly:
"The problem is that we don't have a way to contact Comrade You Shu right now. We don't know the secret code or how to make contact. If we try to contact him rashly, Comrade You Shu might misunderstand."

Wang Shuyu smiled:

“Uncle Sun, you just said that Comrade You Shu has been using his position to send a lot of scarce supplies to Yan'an. Even if he can get those things, it’s not so easy to transport them out. But his transportation channels have never gone wrong. If I’m not mistaken, we might contact Boss Gu first and ask him if he can get in touch with You Shu.”

Sun Jianzhong clapped his hands:

"Yes, Old Gu might actually have a solution. Shuyu, I'm going out for a bit."

Shanghai, Baoshan Road, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Logistics Department.

Yu Shu arrived at work early in the morning feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Because Iwai Hisakawa was repatriated and sent to a military court, a stable channel was thus interrupted.

Yu Shu is now pondering who else she could choose to carry out this mission besides Iwai Ogawa.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been extremely busy these past two days. After arriving at his office, Yu Shu, as usual, first made himself a cup of tea, then picked up today's newspaper to read it, when the phone on his desk rang.

"Mosimoxi?"
