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

Chapter 297 Insight
"Oh, Mr. Gu, do you need any business help lately? What? Big business? Okay, see you at the usual place."

You Shu frowned as she hung up the phone. Under normal circumstances, Gu Xuan rarely contacted her; it was always she who contacted him.

After all, when there are no goods to be shipped out, both sides remain silent.

Gu Xuan contacted me this time, it seems something bad has happened.

Meanwhile, Yang Huamei, who had just finished her night shift and returned home, went to Guanghua Bookstore to look for Sun Jianzhong.

In the secret room behind the house, Yang Huamei found that only Wang Shuyu was there:

"Shuyu!"

Wang Shuyu smiled as she looked at Yang Huamei:
"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yang Huamei nodded excitedly:
"Long time no see, what happened to your leg?"

"It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after some rest. I can even use crutches now. By the way, is there anything I can do for you today?"

After Yang Huamei sat down, she looked at Wang Shuyu with curiosity, and Wang Shuyu also carefully looked at her old classmate whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, that's right. It's been confirmed by Lidong that the comrade from Nanjing that Zhang Sanjin arrested was a fake."

“I was also present during last night’s interrogation, and I can conclude that Comrade Lidong’s analysis is correct. Also, last night that imposter gave a list of eighteen people, but Lidong’s analysis suggests that the identities of those eighteen people are also fake.”

"At noon today, Lidong will lead a team to bring those eighteen people back to No. 76."

After listening to Yang Huamei's words, Wang Shuyu nodded slightly.

Those who can sit in this secret room are all trustworthy people, as Uncle Sun had previously instructed.

Therefore, since Sun Jianzhong was not present, Yang Huamei revealed the information only after seeing Wang Shuyu.

"What does the Beginning of Winter mean? What should be done with those eighteen people?"

Yang Huamei smiled and said:

Li Dong's opinion is that as long as we ignore it, Ding Moqun's fishing operation will be fruitless.

"Since those eighteen people are underground party members, let's just conduct a surprise interrogation. Since Ding Moqun likes to play this game, let's play along with him to the end."

Wang Shuyu nodded in agreement; this was also her idea.

Ding Moqun did this simply to lure out the underground Communist Party members in Shanghai through this scheme.

But now, Ding Moqun's scheme has been exposed. As long as they don't make a move, Ding Moqun will be completely helpless.

However, Wang Shuyu had some dealings with Ding Moqun before, and she still had some doubts about Ding Moqun's behavior.

However, with so little information available, Wang Shuyu couldn't figure it out either.

After Yang Huamei left, Wang Shuyu pondered the problem, took out the intelligence reports from the drawer again, and began to examine them one by one.

Wang Shuyu had memorized this intelligence perfectly, but Ding Moqun's actions this time were somewhat strange.

According to Ding Moqun's plan, it would actually be very difficult to succeed.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

Strangely, Ding Moqun not only did it, but also got Nanjing to cooperate, which is what puzzled Wang Shuyu.

After reviewing the intelligence reports, Wang Shuyu's gaze settled on the most recent one.

Haruko Suzuki, who is currently receiving treatment at the military police hospital, is about to be discharged, and the police station is working overtime to carry out expansion and renovation work.

Previously, Wang Shuyu only thought that Yingzuo was preparing to come to Shanghai based on this information.

But now, Wang Shuyu has changed her mind.

This time, Ding Moqun's plan led Wang Shuyu to make a bold guess.

If Yingzuo wanted to gain a foothold in Shanghai and completely seize the political resources in Nanjing, nothing would be more meritorious than purging the underground party in Nanjing.

By purging the Nanjing underground party and making a powerful entry into Shanghai with his great achievements, Yingzuo can not only secure the political resources of Nanjing, but also gain a firm foothold in Shanghai with the support of his merits.

Therefore, Ding Moqun's plan was entirely in preparation for Yingzuo's arrival.

In other words, regardless of whether the underground party members they captured were real or were imposters they hired, this group of people was their achievement.

If this is true, then these people still have value and will be detained and interrogated.

If it's a hoax, the time these people arrive in Shanghai will be the anniversary of their deaths next year.

The intelligence brought by Yang Huamei has confirmed this.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuyu sighed.

Although we already know the enemy's plan, there's no need to stop it, nor can we stop it anyway.

They were determined to make a strong entry into Shanghai. In an instant, Wang Shuyu's eyes lit up.

Yes, whether it's the underground party or the Kuomintang, since neither they nor their allies could stop it, why not let the Japanese stop it themselves?
It should be noted that Yingzuo's forceful entry into Shanghai did not have the greatest impact on the underground party and the Kuomintang, but rather on other traitors and Japanese intelligence agencies in Shanghai.

"Interesting information."

Wang Shuyu turned her wheelchair to the telephone cabinet, picked up the phone, and dialed a number:
"Is this Tongji Hospital? I have an appointment with Dr. Ren to treat my illness. Please tell him that I don't have time this afternoon. If possible, could you ask him to come over this morning? Okay, thank you."

Shanghai, Zhabei, on the docks occupied by the Green Gang.

After receiving the call, Yushu made up an excuse and left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, heading straight here.

When they arrived at the agreed-upon place, You Shu noticed that there was another person with Gu Xuan and immediately became alert.

Gu Xuan led Sun Jianzhong forward quickly, and smiled at the rather wary You Shu:
"Don't panic if the line is down. This is Sun Jianzhong. You should know this name."

"Secretary Sun!"

You Shu looked at Sun Jianzhong in surprise. He knew that Sun Jianzhong was the head of the underground party in Shanghai, but he had never met him before.

However, since it was Gu Xuan who said it, it must be true. This seemingly shrewd and kind old man is indeed Secretary Sun.

After shaking hands with You Shu, Sun Jianzhong said with a serious expression:
"Hello, Comrade Duanxian. The reason I'm in such a hurry to contact you today is to arrange for your departure from Shanghai."

You Shu looked at Sun Jianzhong with surprise and confusion:
"Secretary Sun, what do you mean by this?"

You Shu's superior was not Sun Jianzhong, nor was he any of Sun Jianzhong's subordinates.

Even Gu Xuan was just a middleman for You Shu; You Shu's real online presence wasn't even in Shanghai.

Without receiving notification from above, if someone wanted to arrange for her to evacuate, even if that person was Secretary Sun, You Shu would not agree.

Sun Jianzhong was naturally aware of these regulations, but the situation was urgent, and if they were delayed any longer, You Shu would not be able to leave.

"Have you heard of Comrade Chenguang?"

You Shu nodded quickly. Chen Guang's name was known to everyone in the underground party, and his code name was also gradually spreading among traitors and Japanese.

Previously, the Japanese had been keeping an eye on Young Tiger, but now some Japanese spies have turned their attention to Morning Light. However, after a long period of investigation, they still only know one code name.

"Comrade Chenguang received intelligence that the reason why Iwai Ogawa fell from power was because a secret Japanese department had been targeting the Iwai Mansion. They suspected that someone inside the Iwai Mansion was continuously and secretly transporting various supplies to the base."

Upon hearing this, You Shu was greatly alarmed. Seeing You Shu's expression, Sun Jianzhong was also certain.

The person who used the Iwai Mansion to do this is the comrade who is now disconnected.

"Comrade Duanxian, you should have understood by now. Those Japanese spies are investigating the Iwai Mansion. We'll have a conclusion soon. Once they find that the Iwai Mansion is not problematic, the next step will be to investigate the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and your department that handled the transfer of funds with the Iwai Mansion."

You Shu nodded solemnly. He believed that Secretary Sun would not lie to him about this kind of information.

You Shu believed that Chen Guang was able to obtain this information.

“Secretary Sun, I understand. But this time, I have already collected a batch of scarce items for the base area. If they cannot be transported out, it will seriously affect the development of the base area and the construction of the subsequent underground liaison station.”

"The most important thing is the two tungsten ore processing machines!"

Sun Jianzhong gasped. The most valuable asset the Red Party currently possessed was tungsten ore. If they had these two machines, it would greatly alleviate the financial strain on the base area.

Gu Xuan listened from the side, his expression also becoming extremely grave:

"You Shu, you need to understand that the connection with the Iwai Mansion is gone now. What other way do you have to get those things out? If things go wrong, you'll be exposed!"

"Moreover, Secretary Sun made it very clear that you are walking a tightrope right now. Never underestimate the strength of the Japanese. There are no obstacles to the investigation of the Iwai Mansion now. Your identity might be discovered by the Japanese today."

Yu Shu sighed with a heavy heart. But those things were just too important. After lying low for so long, Yu Shu had finally gotten in touch with those two machines. Now he was being told that he was on the verge of success, but he had to give up.

Anyone in that situation would probably not have left easily and would have been hoping for the best.

Moreover, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has military police stationed there, and the number of military police outposts on Baoshan Road is ridiculously high.

In this situation, without the cover of the Iwai Mansion, it would be virtually impossible to move the items.

Sun Jianzhong raised his hand and patted You Shu on the shoulder:

"Comrade who has lost contact, I suggest you move immediately. Old Gu has already made all the preparations. If you don't leave now, you might really not be able to leave."

"When Comrade Chenguang gave me the intelligence, he added 'extremely urgent.' You should know what that means." Seeing You Shu still struggling with the question, Gu Xuan grabbed his hand.

“You Shu, we’ve been partners for a long time. You absolutely cannot be exposed. If that batch of stuff is gone, it’s gone. We can still find a way to get it back. But if you’re exposed, my side will also be exposed. If my supply line is gone, do you know what will happen if I want to transport things out of Shanghai in the future?”

You Shu nodded with a wry smile; he had been persuaded by Gu Xuan.

Indeed, Yu Shu didn't care about being exposed; as long as she could move the goods, being exposed was no big deal.

But this time, without the cover of the Iwai Mansion, if the goods are moved away, the Japanese will definitely follow the clues and find Gu Xuan's side.

The transportation route on Gu Xuan's side is extremely important, even more so than the two tungsten ore processing machines.

"Okay, I'll leave now!"

Sun Jianzhong breathed a sigh of relief. After personally seeing You Shu onto the ship, he returned to Guanghua Bookstore.

Shanghai, Hongkou District, Military Police Headquarters Intelligence Department.

Uchiyama Yokono is very worried. He originally came here to do something big, but his plans have failed several times in a row, which has made him start to doubt himself.

Holding an envelope, Mizuki Uchiyama hurried into the director's office. She had been all smiles, but seeing her father's worried expression, she felt a pang of helplessness. Nevertheless, she offered words of comfort:

“Father, we’ve only been here a short time. Even if we’re going to do something important, we need to be patient.”

“Previously, I felt that we were being a bit too eager for quick success. An excellent hunter needs to have plenty of patience, and the best hunter is one who can disguise himself as the prey.”

"And Father, we shouldn't be thinking about gaining any merit now, but rather we should pay attention to the situation in Nanjing."

"This is a letter I just found in my mailbox. I believe Father will be interested in its contents."

Upon hearing this, Yokono Uchiyama curiously took the letter.

After reading it, Yokono Uchiyama's expression turned gloomy:

"I haven't even truly established myself in Shanghai yet, and Yingzuo is already coming to cause trouble, ha!"

"Mizuki, what do you think we should do next?"

Mizuki Uchiyama sat in the chair, staring directly at Yokono Uchiyama:

"This is not just a matter for us alone. Kagesa's arrival will have an impact on the former organization and the Special Higher Police."

"We need to share this intelligence with them."

"Furthermore, at noon, those people sent from Nanjing, whether or not they are underground party members, must not fall into the hands of No. 76."

"No matter what, we cannot allow Yingzuo to enter Shanghai at this time. His arrival will definitely disrupt the balance. Our intelligence department has not yet obtained enough merit to establish a firm foothold. If Yingzuo comes, it will be even more difficult for us."

Yokono Uchiyama slammed his hand on the desk:
“Mizuki, you’re right. Immediately notify Aizawa Keiko and have her attend a meeting at the Military Police Headquarters. Also, let Doiyoshi know that he can’t get away with arresting a few foreign agents.”

In the conference room of the Special Higher Police Department on Wusong Road.

Looking at the attendees who had all finished reading the intelligence report, Aizawa Keiko said with a hint of anger in her voice:
"By today, all of the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) strongholds must be completely wiped out. Once the people are captured, interrogate them immediately. I only want two outcomes: either they cooperate and reveal the information I want to know, or they are sent to their deaths!"

"have you understood?"

"Hi!"

Everyone stood up, bowed slightly, and accepted Aizawa Keiko's order.

"The technical staff will remain; the rest of you, move out immediately."

Yamayuu glanced at Aizawa Keiko, and finally reluctantly led everyone out of the conference room.

After everyone else had left, Yua Murakami turned to Keiko Aizawa and said:

"Section Chief, the technical investigation has yielded results. It's confirmed that the four South Koreans who kidnapped Li Xiangjun are still hiding in the French Concession. Moreover, they definitely have someone helping them. This person is infiltrating the police station, and their position is at least a captain."

"In addition, the communications department intercepted a coded telegram, and this telegram used the old codebook. I suspect that someone deliberately sent this intelligence to us, concerning the Military Intelligence Bureau!"

Upon hearing the words "Military Intelligence Bureau," Aizawa Keiko's teeth clenched so tightly they rattled.

"Say!"

Yua Murakami noticed that Keiko Aizawa seemed a bit off and wanted to offer some words of comfort, but looking into her eyes, she gave up.

She knew that the section chief wanted to avenge the consultant, but if things continued like this, Murakami Yua seriously suspected that the section chief might make some impulsive decisions.

For example, in Murakami Yua's view, this action against the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) was extremely impulsive.

However, since this was going against Kyoko Watanabe, Yua Murakami didn't think much of it.

To this day, Yua Murakami has never forgotten the scene of her brother's head appearing in the Special Higher Police Department's kitchen.

To this day, Kyoko Watanabe has not given herself an explanation, which is why Yua Murakami has no good feelings towards her.

If Aizawa Keiko hadn't taken over as head of the Special Higher Police Section, Murakami Yua would have quit.

"call--"

After letting out a long breath, Yua Murakami continued:

"Intelligence indicates that Chen Chuyin, the stationmaster of Shanghai Railway Station, will arrive at platform 2 of Shanghai Railway Station at 9:00 a.m. three days later and disembark in carriage 11."

"This time, there are four Kuomintang agents responsible for protecting Chen Chuyin, armed with Mauser pistols and two hand grenades."

Hearing this, Aizawa Keiko laughed:
How reliable is this intelligence?

Yua Murakami shook her head:

“I don’t know, which is why I suspect that the Military Intelligence Bureau deliberately leaked this information to us, or that they are using us to get rid of Chen Chuyin.”

"Or it could be a feint to the east while attacking the west, helping Director Chen sneak back to Shanghai safely."

"But the latter is unlikely, because if this intelligence is not leaked, we will not know the exact time of Chen Chuyin's return, let alone the fact that the Military Intelligence Bureau would cover him, because there is no need for it."

Upon hearing this, Aizawa Keiko also made a decision:
"So, the first possibility is the most likely. Okay, that's all for today. You continue to keep an eye on the Korean radio stations. Once the location is confirmed, it's just the French Concession. I'll go there myself!"

Yua Murakami stood up and walked towards the conference room door. When she reached the door, she stopped, turned back to Keiko Aizawa, and asked:

"Section Chief, the consultant is alright, right?"

Seeing Aizawa Keiko nod, Murakami Yua breathed a sigh of relief, a smile blooming on her oval face, and she opened the door and left with light steps.

Shortly after returning to her office, before Keiko Aizawa could even sit down, the phone on her desk rang.

Special Higher Police!

"Section Chief Mizuki, um? What did you say? Okay, I understand."

No. 18 Shanyin Road, Hongkou District.

In a specially modified room on the first floor of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce branch, Kyogoku Mi, dressed in black, knelt before a low table and looked at Watanabe Kyoko sitting opposite him, saying:
"Madam, we have investigated and confirmed that the Iwai Mansion is not the problem. We have now turned our attention to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but our investigation there has been severely hampered by the incident at the Cathay Hotel. However, we can confirm that a Chinese national named You Shu left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs two hours before our arrival and his whereabouts are unknown."

“Our people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are still waiting. Once Yushu returns, they will arrest him immediately.”

Watanabe Kyoko paused slightly while brewing tea, then slammed the tea set down on the low table, her brows furrowed as she stared intently at the surface.

"Baka! This guy's alertness is way too high!"

Kyogoku's heart sank upon hearing this:
"Madam, do you mean he ran away?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Kyoko Watanabe glanced at Ken Kyogoku with a gloomy expression. They had already investigated very quickly, but Yushu's reaction was even faster.

This is definitely not right.

Kyoko Watanabe carefully inquired about the details of Kyogoku's investigation:
"Report to me in detail the situation you investigated at that time."

"Hi!"

A few minutes later, a fierce glint flashed in Watanabe Kyoko's eyes:
"He went out after receiving a phone call, and never came back!"

"Have you checked the phone number?"

Seeing Kyogoku shake his head, Watanabe Kyoko was so angry that her body trembled slightly.

"Someone tipped him off, either someone noticed our intention to keep an eye on the Iwai Mansion, or there's a traitor within our ranks!"

Kyogoku's lips twitched slightly. Even if the former's possibility was small, it was still possible.

But the latter is absolutely impossible.

After Watanabe Kyoko finished speaking, she also felt that only the first possibility was true.

But who could see through her plans?
This is completely illogical. The Iwai Mansion is a Japanese intelligence agency. Why would the underground party members have nothing better to do than keep watching it?
Even though they were watching, this time Watanabe Kyoko didn't start her investigation with the people at the Iwai Mansion at all, but with the funds and items received by the Iwai Mansion.

In this situation, the investigation could have been conducted without anyone noticing, but it was discovered by someone. How is that possible?

Kyoko Watanabe felt like her head was about to explode. After repeatedly reviewing the situation, she still couldn't believe that anyone could have foreseen her plan.
