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

Chapter 299 Visitors
Ignoring Li Zhiguo, Lan Zehui stared directly at Watanabe and asked:

"Chairman Watanabe, what do you mean by this?"

Kyoko Watanabe glared at Keiko Aizawa, then stood up and slammed her hand on the table:
"Huizi, watch your manners!"

"Now, immediately release the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) agents arrested today. In addition, starting today, the CBIS will begin in-depth cooperation with the Special Higher Police."

Aizawa Keiko smiled. She already knew about this, otherwise Watanabe Kyoko wouldn't have been able to obtain so much information about Yamashiro.

Previously, Kyoko Watanabe had never considered entrusting this line to herself.

This time, after Aizawa Keiko overturned the table, Watanabe Kyoko finally brought the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), with whom they had been cooperating, into the open.

"Oh, is that so?"

“Mr. Li, I’m really sorry. To use an old saying from China, we really are like ‘the flood washed away the Dragon King’s temple, and we’re not even family anymore.’”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we arrested about thirty Central Bureau of Investigation agents today, but only two remain. Half an hour before you arrived, they were all killed in the back courtyard. If you still need them, you'll have to go to the mass grave to retrieve them!"

Li Zhiguo glanced at Lan Zehui with a gloomy expression, barely suppressing the urge to curse, and then looked at Watanabe Kyoko.

Watanabe hadn't expected that even though Aizawa Keiko could clearly guess the relationship between the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) and her, she still managed to kill 99% of the people she brought back.

It can be said that this time, the stronghold was destroyed and people were killed. The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to provide them with significant assistance in the short term.

Even Li Zhiguo could be transferred back and killed by the Chen brothers because of this incident, and a new station chief could be brought in.

"Keiko, you've gone too far this time!"

Aizawa Keiko stood up abruptly, looking directly at Watanabe Kyoko:

"Mother, who is really in the wrong?"

“The Kuomintang not only killed Uncle Tojo, but also almost killed Zhao-san. How can I face Zhao-san and Uncle Tojo if I don’t avenge this?”

Kyoko Watanabe was utterly speechless.

"If you want revenge, go find the Military Intelligence Bureau. Why are you taking it out on the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics?"

Caught between the two, Li Zhiguo's head was buzzing. So, the trouble caused by the Military Intelligence Bureau was being used as a scapegoat by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS). Did they think the CBIS was so easy to bully?
And those jinxes from the Military Intelligence Bureau—Li Zhiguo really held a grudge against them this time.

You call yourself a Kuomintang secret police officer? Whether you're assassinating or sabotaging, at least clean up your mess after you're done!
You all went off to claim credit after you finished your work, but you're using us, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), to take the blame. Is that appropriate?

These useless Japanese devils, they can't find the Military Intelligence Bureau, so they take it out on the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. When Li Zhiguo heard this, he almost died of anger.

Aizawa Keiko calculated in her mind that the time should be about right, and said bluntly:
"In short, now there's only one left, Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui. Take them or leave them, it's up to you!"

After saying that, Aizawa Keiko walked towards the door, pushed Kyogoku Miyabi who was standing at the door, and left the office with lightning speed.

Having found Yamayuka ahead of her, Aizawa Keiko snatched the transcript from his hands:
"Have you memorized everything?"

"Hey! The two men's testimonies are pretty much the same. A six-man team of Kuomintang agents recently secretly entered Shanghai and is currently hiding in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics's stronghold on Fuzhou Road."

Aizawa Keiko's eyes lit up, and she slammed the notebook shut before laughing:

"Arrest them immediately, dead or alive!"

Yamayuu Kazuo nodded with a wry smile. The chairman had already arrived, but the section chief was still doing things her own way. Yamayuu Kazuo was really afraid that the chairman would fire Aizawa Keiko if he got angry.

During his time working under Keiko Aizawa, Kazuo Yamayuki truly felt comfortable, at least much more at ease than when he was with Kyoko Watanabe.

Therefore, Yamayuichi didn't want Aizawa Keiko to really upset Watanabe Kyoko because of this.

"Yamao-kun, you've partnered with Zhao-san many times. Don't you want to stand up for Zhao-san?"

"Alright," Yamayu Kazuo sighed, gritted his teeth, nodded, and quickly left.

However, as Yamayu Kazuo was leaving, Aizawa Keiko handed him the transcript she was holding:
"Take them together!"

A few minutes after Yamayu Kazuo left, Li Zhiguo, led by Kyogoku Ken, arrived outside the interrogation room.

Seeing Aizawa Keiko standing there, Kyogoku Ken stepped forward:

"Young Madam, Madam has returned. Please order the remaining two to be released."

Aizawa Keiko smiled and nodded:

"We've been waiting for you to come, so let them go!"

The agents guarding the interrogation room immediately unlocked the door and quickly brought out Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui, who were covered in blood and looked utterly wretched.

Seeing that the two were at least still alive, Li Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief.

These two are his trusted confidants; if they were to die, his loss would be immeasurable.

As long as these two are still alive, the stronghold can be rebuilt, and manpower can be recruited again.

Moreover, the Shanghai branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) has many advantages, but it also has abundant funding.

Consider this loss a lesson learned.

Li Zhiguo was also aware that Watanabe Kyoko must have known the timing of the Special Higher Police's operation, but she did not stop him until he came to her door. Only then did Watanabe Kyoko take him to the Special Higher Police to demand the release of the suspect.

why?
They've taken a lot of benefits from the Osaka Chamber of Commerce during this period, but haven't provided much valuable information to Watanabe Kyoko.

Having learned his lesson this time, Li Zhiguo decided that he would have to show more sincerity in the future, otherwise he really couldn't afford to suffer another loss if the Special Higher Police were to conduct another raid.

Even if he could bear it, his superiors wouldn't stand by and watch.

"Thank you, Section Chief Lan Ze. If you need anything in the future, just let us know. If it's within our Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, we'll definitely get it done for you."

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

Not long after Li Zhiguo left with Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui, Yamao Kazuo led his men into the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) stronghold on Fuzhou Road.

The six Kuomintang agents were gambling at the time. Yamao Kazuo didn't have to exert much effort. He rushed in and shot at them, killing five of them in one go. Only one of them, who reacted quickly, hid under the table and was captured alive.

Looking at the corpses lying haphazardly in the room, and then at the Kuomintang agents who were still in shock after being arrested, Yamayu Kazuo couldn't understand why the Kuomintang sent these people to Shanghai.
Giving away heads?

They've lost even the most basic vigilance.

They were gambling non-stop before dinner time.

Looking at the seized gambling funds, Yamayu Kazuo's face scrunched up in a deep frown.

Gambling sums of over 100,000 yuan—are the Kuomintang agents all that rich now?
At this moment, in a small, unbranded newspaper office on Baoshan Street in Shanghai.

After Li Zhiguo brought the two back, he immediately called Yuan Feifei over.

Yuan Feifei is a nurse at the military police hospital and is also a doctor in private.

Seeing Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui's injuries, Yuan Feifei was full of doubt:

"Station manager, what's going on?"

Li Zhiguo slammed his fist on the table, glared at the two people lying on the bed, and said:

"They were wiped out by the Special Higher Police. Five strongholds were destroyed, and more than thirty brothers were arrested. Only those two good-for-nothings were left for me to bring back."

Yuan Feifei's lips twitched, and she quickly opened the first-aid kit to treat the two injuries.

Half an hour later, Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui caught their breath and quickly said to Li Zhiguo:

"Station chief, the Japanese know that those Kuomintang agents from Yamashiro have a stronghold on Fuzhou Road, and I estimate they've already made their move."

Li Zhiguo stared wide-eyed at Wei Ming, who was speaking, opening his mouth several times but failing to utter a single word.

Yuan Feifei also sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the room and stood to the side, not daring to say a word.

After a long while, Li Zhiguo roared:
"Which of you leaked it?"

Wei Ming said with a face full of grief and indignation:
"Station Chief, we've been terribly wronged by the Military Intelligence Bureau this time. It was clearly their fault, but they're making us take the blame. So many brothers have been killed by those bastards in the Military Intelligence Bureau!"

Although Zhuang Hui didn't speak, the hatred in his eyes was enough to show how much he resented the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Li Zhiguo sighed. This time, those guys from the Military Intelligence Bureau really did them a disastrous job.

More than thirty brothers, five strongholds!

It can be said that after the death of the previous stationmaster, Li Zhiguo took over as the stationmaster of the Shanghai station. He had managed to build up so many connections and had been working hard for so long, but all of that was wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, Li Zhiguo still retained his rationality. Those six agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau were the link between the higher-ups and a big shot in the Military Intelligence Bureau. If they were really wiped out by the Japanese, the anger of the higher-ups, coupled with the losses this time, made Li Zhiguo's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"Yuan Feifei, immediately notify Hua Yun and have her contact the Fuzhou base to get those useless Kuomintang agents to move out of here right now!"

Jingle Bell--

Just as Li Zhiguo finished speaking, the phone rang.

It was visibly clear that Li Zhiguo's face had turned completely black.

He was a little hesitant to answer the phone.

Yuan Feifei nervously watched the constantly ringing phone, while Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui were quite looking forward to the call.

A dozen seconds later, Li Zhiguo dejectedly reached out and answered the phone:

"This is the Huangpu Daily. Okay, I understand."

pat.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhiguo glared fiercely at Wei Ming and Zhuang Hui:

"The Fuzhou Road stronghold was wiped out. Five of the six Kuomintang agents were killed on the spot, and the Special Higher Police captured one."

Li Zhiguo seemed to be saying this to everyone else in the room, but also to himself.

After saying this, Li Zhiguo paused for several minutes before looking at Yuan Feifei:

"Go, call Shancheng and report the situation here."

No. 18 Shanyin Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai.

Kyoko Watanabe's pupils trembled slightly as she looked at the information Jinta Kagura had just handed her:
"Trying to outsmart me? Keiko has really grown up."

Jinta Kagura shook his head:

"Kyoko, I told you long ago that we can't let Kei get away with it too much. Look at the mess she's made this time!" Watanabe Kyoko smiled, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said:

"Alright, it's all credit. Whether it's a cooperative relationship or something else, the credit will ultimately go to Huizi."

"What is the deployment map of the Nationalist army in the Central China Theater?"

Kagura Jinta snorted and turned his gaze to Kyogoku Mi beside him.

"Natsume Oriko has successfully infiltrated the area. As a war correspondent, she should be able to send back good news soon."

Kyoko Watanabe nodded in satisfaction:

“That’s right. Tell Natsume Oriko not to be reckless, to proceed step by step, and absolutely not to expose herself. We have plenty of time.”

Seven o'clock in the evening.

In the interrogation room of the Special Higher Police Section of Wusong Road, Aizawa Keiko was a little dumbfounded.

The Kuomintang agents captured this time are truly useless; they know nothing but how to make money.

Moreover, they did not bypass the Osaka Chamber of Commerce in their shipments, so in the end, Aizawa Keiko has cut off one of Watanabe Kyoko's business channels.

Back in the office, Aizawa Keiko snorted disdainfully, while Yamayu Kazuo stood in front of his desk with a wry smile.

"Section Chief, we can't continue like this. The Chairman wasn't angry this time, probably because he wanted to give the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics a warning. But if we continue like this, your current position will be in danger."

Aizawa Keiko took several deep breaths before she could suppress her anger:
"Is cooperating with the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), cooperating with the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (MBIS), cooperating with the Kuomintang (KMT), and is Mother even planning to cooperate with the underground Communist Party (MCP) and the Communist Party (CCP)?"

Yamayu Kazuo quickly glanced at the tightly closed office door before lowering his voice and saying:
"Section Chief, be careful what you say. This might also be part of the Chairman's plan."

"Besides, don't Miss Daoya and Ai Sato also do this kind of work?"

Aizawa Keiko was speechless; she couldn't understand what was wrong with the empire now.
Everyone's busy making money, and they'll do anything to do it.

Not long ago, Aizawa Keiko also received intelligence that the Osaka Division had sold all its new equipment to the Nationalist Army, while keeping the old equipment and then pretending to be pitiful to apply for new equipment from above.

If this division weren't the Osaka Division, Keiko Aizawa would have taken them to a military court.

You want to make money, huh?

A glint flashed in Lan Zehui's eyes. It seemed that she also needed to make some preparations for her future life with Zhao Xuan.

Seeing the rapid change in Aizawa Keiko's eyes, Yamayu Kazuo asked in surprise:

"Section Chief, I think you should apologize to the president. She cares about you so much. As long as you take the initiative to admit your mistake, she definitely won't take this to heart."

A slight smile played on Aizawa Keiko's lips:

"Yamao-kun, you're right. I'll apologize when I have time. It's after get off work now, and I have to go."

Seeing that Aizawa Keiko seemed to have suddenly improved her mood, Yamayu Kazuo scratched his head, puzzled.

Moreover, Aizawa Keiko never had the concept of leaving get off work before, could it be that she was really provoked today?

After leaving the Special Higher Police Division, Aizawa Keiko drove straight to the Military Police Hospital.

In Zhao Xuan's attending physician's office, Lan Zehui slipped the doctor a red envelope before smiling and asking:

"Dr. Asada, Zhao-san's condition should be alright, right?"

Ma Tian discreetly felt the thickness of the red envelope and replied with extreme joy:

"Sir, please rest assured, we will use the best burn medicine for Mr. Zhao. Now, apart from the penetrating wounds to his shoulder and leg, Mr. Zhao is basically fine."

"Penicillin effectively blocked Mr. Zhao's risk of infection. According to my prediction, Mr. Zhao will definitely be able to be discharged from the hospital in another month!"

Aizawa Keiko frowned, fearing that Asada was trying to fool her:
"A month? That fast?"

Asada smiled and said confidently:
"If it were just medication, it certainly wouldn't be this fast, but Mr. Zhao's constitution is very special, and his recovery speed is extremely fast."

"In just two days, Mr. Zhao's burns on his back have started to scab over. At the current rate of recovery, he should be able to be discharged from the hospital within a month."

Aizawa Keiko nodded happily, said goodbye to Asada, and went straight to the special care ward.

"Huizi, you've come!"

As soon as she entered the room, Lan Zehuizi saw Dao Yan already feeding Zhao Xuan by the bedside.

Seeing this, Lan Zehui smiled, not jealous at all. She just felt that if Dao Yan continued to treat Zhao Xuan so well, then she might as well step aside!
"Keiko, is the Special Higher Police's work finished?"

Hearing Zhao Xuan's question, Lan Ze Huizi stepped forward, carefully examined the injuries on Zhao Xuan's back, and, confirming that Ma Tian was not lying to her, smiled and said:

"I'll leave the last few trivial matters to Mr. Yamao."

"Dao Yan, haven't you gone back to No. 76 these past two days?"

Dao Yan put down the bowl and spoon and replied:

“I asked my uncle for leave, and I will focus on taking care of Ah Xuan for the next period of time.”

"By the way, Keiko, we've prepared a lot of things today. You probably haven't eaten yet, right? Want to eat together?"

Lan Zehuizi did not refuse, and moved a small table over so she and Dao Yan could sit together and have dinner.

Zhao Xuan, lying on the hospital bed, smiled silently.
"I said, don't go too far! I eat chicken soup with porridge every day, and you're feeding me all this meat and fish. Have you ever considered how I, an injured person, feel?"

To be honest, Zhao Xuan was really craving Dao Yan's cooking. Although the porridge and chicken soup were also very good, the main dishes were even better!
"Just lie down and recover. I'll cook whatever you want to eat when you're discharged."

Dao Yan rolled her eyes at Zhao Xuan, then placed a piece of food on Lan Zehui's plate before suddenly asking:
"I heard the Special Higher Police had a big operation today, did they catch them?"

Aizawa Keiko's face darkened, and she shook her head through gritted teeth.

"No, if tiger cubs were so easy to catch, Zhao Sang wouldn't have been so badly injured."

"But don't worry, Dao Yan, I will definitely catch this guy. Today we raided several Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) strongholds, and by following the clues, we also arrested a group of Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (JBIS) personnel, but they were all insignificant."

"By the way, Dao Yan, have the 76th Telecommunications Division cooperate. I plan to have the radio truck and direction finder operating at full power. I refuse to believe that these rats in the gutter can hide forever."

Dao Yan nodded slightly:
"Okay, I'll let Wang Yiya know. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan said:

“Yes, listen to Ayan, take it step by step. No one can become fat in one bite. You said it yourself, the cub is not easy to catch, so start from the outside, like peeling an onion, breaking through layer by layer. Once you find the core, where can the cub hide?”

"Okay, listen to you!"

Bang!
The door to the intensive care unit was pushed open again, and the three of them knew who it was from the sound of the door opening.

Sure enough, Daoya kicked the door open and came in carrying large and small bags.

"Sister, Sister Huizi, you're both here!"

Dao Yan rubbed her forehead and looked at Dao Ya helplessly, asking:

"What did you buy with all these bags?"

"Oh, ginseng, deer antler, angelica, and fruit—make sure to nourish your brother-in-law properly."

Zhao Xuan's lips twitched slightly:
"Thank you so much!!"

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I made a little money today, it's nothing!"

Dao Yan and Lan Ze Huizi got up and helped Dao Ya take the things and put them on the cabinet. Before the two of them could speak, Dao Ya ran to the small table by herself, filled a bowl with rice and started showing it off.

"It's delicious. I knew it. My brother-in-law is in the hospital. You had to cook him some nutritious meals yourself. Sure enough, your cooking is the best."

Watching Dao Ya eat slowly yet incredibly quickly, Dao Yan and Lan Ze Huizi exchanged a smile.

"Huizi, I was living in the Special Higher Police's apartment before Ah Xuan was discharged from the hospital."

"Great, that way I'll have someone to chat with when I can't sleep at night."

Lying on the hospital bed, Zhao Xuan looked at Dao Yan and Lan Ze Huizi, who were like close friends, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the dialysis mode just now, Zhao Xuan did not get any useful psychological information from Dao Yan. However, Dao Yan and Lan Ze Huizi suddenly became so close, and it seemed that Dao Yan took the initiative to approach Lan Ze Huizi. Things were not so simple.

Has Dao Yan received another mission?

About half an hour later, Dao Yan and the other two left the military police hospital.

After all, the services in the special wards are so good that there is no need for someone to stay with you.

Not long after the three left, an unexpected guest arrived at Zhao Xuan's ward.

When Suzuki Haruko, who was in a wheelchair, saw Zhao Xuan again, her smile never left her face.

"Zhao Sang, I never expected that we would meet in a place like this."

"But why did you end up in the Special Higher Police? It would have been so much better if you had stayed at No. 76!"

Looking at Suzuki Haruko, who was pretending to be naive, Zhao Xuan said indifferently:

"Ms. Suzuki, are you looking to ask me about Miao Xue, or do you simply want to have a chat?"

Haruko Suzuki leaned back in her chair and chuckled as she looked at Zhao Xuan, who was lying face down on the hospital bed.
“I’ve already met Miao Xue. I just heard that someone could survive an explosion in a confined space, so I came to see for myself out of curiosity.”

"Of course, seeing that it was Zhao Sang here, my purpose for coming here has changed slightly."

In dialysis mode, Zhao Xuan already knew what Suzuki Haruko wanted to talk to him about.

It's just that the time for Yingzuo to be stationed in Shanghai has been postponed again due to the intervention of local intelligence forces in Shanghai.

Furthermore, Suzuki Haruko has now had Sasaki investigate and find out that the original organization was responsible for her serious injuries and hospitalization.

This grudge was something that Haruko Suzuki, who was known for her vengeful nature, could never tolerate.

At the same time, Suzuki Haruko also learned that Zhao Xuan was dismissed from No. 76 because of his original organization.

Thinking that she and Zhao Xuan were essentially enemies, Suzuki Haruko came.

"Zhao Sang, let's be frank. Don't you harbor any resentment towards the original organization?!"

"If it weren't for the original organization, you would be the deputy director of No. 76 now. Once General Yingzuo takes over Shanghai and Ding Moqun advances further, you would be the chief of special operations for No. 76. But all of this was ruined by Tu Feiyuan."
