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

Chapter 305 Female Thief
The following day, after leading her team to work, Wang Yiya met with Dao Yan at Zhoushan Park at noon.

Just as Wang Shuyu had predicted, Dao Yan was cooperating with them precisely for the sake of intelligence.

"According to our investigation over this period of time, the original organization transfers a batch of geishas from Shinchunju every day. We have already infiltrated Shinchunju, and we expect to receive news by this afternoon."

"But we can't just focus on Xinchunju."

"Therefore, I need your intelligence network to help us keep a close eye on the original agency's every move."

"Of course, we will also share intelligence with you."

After listening to Dao Yan's words, Wang Yiya took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket:
"Since you are sincere, we will not lag behind. We share the same goal in the Sheshan project. This is the intelligence we have gathered. I will also report what you said. We will discuss how to cooperate afterward."

Dao Yan nodded slightly, took the paper and put it back in her pocket, then silently turned and walked towards the side gate of the park.

Meanwhile, at the original government office on Nanjing Road, just as Zhao Xuan had told Lan Zehuizi the night before, Satsuma Arazawa and Kasahara Hei were no longer satisfied with the geishas at Shinshunju.

Having long heard of the Paramount and other entertainment venues in Shanghai, the two were eager to visit. In the attic, Saburo Karasawa and Heiji Kasahara were discussing this with Doi-Yuan.

However, Toi-Yuan has not budged. The safety of these two is crucial to the smooth progress of the Sheshan project, and Toi-Yuan is unwilling to take any risks.

In the former government building on Nanjing Road, Saburo Karasawa glared angrily at Doiyuu. Kasahara Hei stood beside Karasawa. No matter what, they were going out today to see the bustling metropolis of Shanghai and the dazzling Paramount Ballroom.

"My lords, my mission is to protect your safety until the Sheshan Research Institute is put into use and I will send you there."

"So please, neither of you will cause me any trouble, nor will you cause trouble for yourselves!"

Faced with the defiant attitude of the fat man, the two exchanged a glance, snorted coldly, and then stormed out, slamming the door shut with grim expressions.

Michiko Sakai stood to the side, and only after the two left did she ask with a furrowed brow:
"Teacher, keeping them confined like this isn't a solution."

Doi-man naturally knew how much influence these two would have on the future war. It could be said that the cabinet was now fully supporting the Ishii unit, which made the Ishii unit members particularly arrogant.

Now that he has offended these two people, Doiyu is under tremendous pressure. But if something happens to these two, it won't just be pressure anymore.

"call--!"

After letting out a long breath, Doi-maru looked at Sakai Michiko:

"Keep an eye on them. We'll talk about everything after I meet with Watanabe."

After glancing at his watch, the chubby man stood up, straightened his suit and tie, nodded to Michiko, and left the attic.

At this moment, Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara, who had already returned to their residence, gathered together. Their eyes flashed with a fierce light, and they were furious at Doiyuu's attitude today.

"Kasahara-kun, I heard that a new lady has arrived at Shinshun-ju. How about we go out another day?"

Kasahara Hei snorted, looking down at Karasawa Saburo with disdain:

"Kirigawa-kun, are you scared? Have you forgotten what Commander Ishii told us? We are the ones who should be afraid of others, not the ones who should be afraid of others."

"Who in Shanghai would dare assassinate us? If they dared to make a move, we wouldn't lose anything by dying; we'd drag the entire city down with us. In this situation, the only ones others fear are us!!!"

Saburo Karasawa's lips twitched. That thing didn't distinguish between friend and foe; it was something they used to protect themselves. Unless absolutely necessary, let alone them, even Commander Ishii wouldn't dare to use it here.

No, it should be said that neither of them dared to use it.

"Kasahara-kun, I think we should go find Doi-man again. Even if we want to go out, we need someone to protect us. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will implicate Commander Ishii."

Kasahara Hei knelt down with a gloomy expression. He was tired of the geishas at Shinshun-ju anyway, and even if new ones joined, he wasn't very interested in them anymore.

"Kimi Harazawa, when we're out and about, we're the strongest allies and the best of friends."

"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but in Shanghai, nobody knows our identities. On the contrary, if we have someone protecting us, those Kuomintang underground members will be able to tell at a glance that we have special identities, and that will be a big problem."

Saburo Karasawa nodded with a wry smile; Kasahara Hei was right.

Under Kasahara Hei's repeated persuasion, Karasawa Saburo gritted his teeth:

"Okay, let's go see Doiyu again. If he still doesn't agree, we have many ways to leave the original organization."

As he spoke, Saburo Karasawa glanced at the box under the bed.

Kasahara Heiji chuckled eerily.
"Yoshi, this is the Gorizawa-kun I know. Don't be timid. If you want to have fun, you can't keep people locked up in this lousy place like canaries."

"Why did we come to Shanghai? Besides completing the mission assigned to us by the Empire, didn't we also want to experience this place?"

Saburo Karasawa stood up:
"Let's go find that fat, ugly guy!"

A dozen minutes later, the two returned to the house with grim expressions.

In just a quarter of an hour, Doi-Yuan actually left. Of course, the two of them assumed that this was just Sakai Michiko's excuse, a pretext that Doi-Yuan refused to meet with them and did not want to let them leave the original agency.

"Kizuka-kun, as you can see, it's not that we're not cooperating, it's that Doi-man has completely trapped us here like prisoners."

"We are the elite of the empire, the future of the empire. What right does this fat man have to do this? How dare he!"

"Don't hesitate, Mr. Haruzawa. Don't you want to taste the flavor of a Chinese girl?"

Saburo Karasawa swallowed hard.
"Alright, Kasahara-kun, get ready. Since they won't let us out, we'll figure out how to get out ourselves."

Meanwhile, at a sushi restaurant on Shanyin Road in Hongkou District, Tu Feiyuan was invited to visit.

In the only private room on the third floor of the sushi restaurant, Tu Feiyuan took off his suit jacket, straightened his tie, and then pushed open the door to enter.

"Long time no see, Doi-Yuan-kun."

"President Watanabe, I never expected to receive your invitation."

He closed the door, knelt down in front of the low table, and looked at Watanabe Kyoko, who was making dumplings for him, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Chairman Watanabe, I'm curious, what brings you here today?"

Kyoko Watanabe had no intention of meeting Doi-biu.

But not long ago, Lan Zehuizi found her and told her about Zhao Xuan's guess.

Kyoko Watanabe broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this.

Moreover, Kyoko Watanabe had carefully considered Zhao Xuan's guess, and to be honest, it was indeed a possibility.

In order to determine whether Saburo Kagasawa and Hei Kasahara really carried the virus Zhao Xuan mentioned, Kyoko Watanabe sent an invitation to Doiyuu.

In Kyoko Watanabe's view, Shanghai absolutely cannot afford any accidents.

At the very least, while she remains in Shanghai, nothing uncontrollable must happen here.

"Mr. Tufeiyuan, I heard you've taken on the task of restarting the Sheshan project?"

Doi-Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Watanabe with a probing gaze:

"Chairman Watanabe, shouldn't you have known about this already? What, now that my mission is almost complete, you want to get involved too?"

Seeing Kyoko Watanabe shake her head, Doiyu asked in confusion:
"If you don't want to get involved, then why did you bring this up in the first place?"

Doi-Yuan was just asking casually; even if Watanabe Kyoko wanted to get involved, he would absolutely not agree.

While a large portion of the funding for the Sheshan project came from cabinet support, the remainder was paid out of pocket by the original government agencies.

If it weren't for a stroke of luck in securing the Sheshan project ahead of time, this project would never have fallen into his hands. Not to mention the Special Higher Police, the Military Police Headquarters would have been the first to object to anyone else getting involved in this great achievement.

Unfortunately, by the time the Military Police Headquarters learned of this, Doi Madoka had already received the funding approved by the cabinet, and everyone else had long been eliminated.

Once the Sheshan project is restarted, the credit that Doiyuu has earned will be enough to directly promote him to major general, and the original organization will also receive more support.

To Doiyu, surpassing the Special Higher Police was merely a matter of half of the Sheshan Project.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Doi-Yuan. Your original organization put in a lot of effort and money for this project. Even if I have a lot of influence, I won't compete with you for this project. I called you here today only because I have obtained some interesting information."

"Of course, I don't know if this information is true or false. If Doi-Yuan-kun is also interested, he can check it out when he gets back."

Doi-Yuan looked at Watanabe Kyoko with great confusion. This woman never did anything without a reason. Had she changed her mind today and was going to tell him the information directly?

"I heard that there were three people from the Ishii unit who came to Shanghai, but Takahashi Masahiko was sent away some time ago?"

Doi-man didn't hide it, because this kind of thing might be possible to hide from others, but it could never be hidden from Watanabe Kyoko. Since that was the case, it was better to be straightforward.

The main reason is that Doiyuu is very curious about the information Watanabe mentioned.

“That’s right. The only ones left in Shanghai now are Saburo Kagasawa and Hei Kasahara.”

"It was actually these two people!"

Seeing that Kyoko Watanabe was putting on an act, and that Doiyuu didn't expose her, he just couldn't believe that Kyoko Watanabe still hadn't figured out the identities of those two people.

"It seems the information I obtained has become more credible."

Seeing that Doi's expression remained unchanged, but the eagerness in his eyes was hard to conceal, Watanabe Kyoko then said:
"These two were known as mad scientists when they were in the Ishii unit. Do you know why they were called madmen?"

Tu Feiyuan shook his head. All he knew was that these two people were experts in viruses and experts in making poison gas bombs.

As for other things, Tu Feiyuan wanted to know, but he simply had no way of knowing.

The Ishii Unit maintained extremely strict secrecy; even the Kwantung Army knew no more than a handful of its members.

"Do you know why, of the three people who came, only Masahiko Takahashi was selected to go out, or rather, why the Ishii unit didn't select anyone else, but specifically sent these two to Shanghai?"

Doi-Yuan's face grew increasingly pale. He vaguely knew what Watanabe Kyoko wanted to say to him, but he dared not guess what she meant.

"Hehe, it seems that Doi-Yuan-kun's sense of danger is not as sharp as before."

"Hmph! Chairman Watanabe, say what you have to say quickly, I have a lot of things to deal with at the former organization!"

Kyoko Watanabe placed the shaped rice balls on a plate, then set the plate in front of the Doi round table, before smiling and saying:
"Don't be impatient."

“When Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara were in the Ishii unit, they often carried a highly contagious virus with them. Because of this, they have been criticized and warned many times.”

"Although the decision to restart the Sheshan project was made by the Cabinet and the Ishii Unit could not refuse, according to my investigation, the Ishii Unit did not hesitate at all to send these two people to Shanghai to oversee the Sheshan Research Institute."

After saying that, Kyoko Watanabe fell silent.

A layer of sweat had already seeped from the forehead of the chubby-faced man.
"President Watanabe, what exactly are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me that Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara are also carrying something dangerous?" Seeing Kyoko Watanabe calmly picking up her chopsticks and slowly eating her sushi, Doi-bi-ya suddenly stood up:
"Chairman Watanabe, I hope the information you gave me is false. If it is true, I will come to thank you another day."

Watching Doiyuu leave, Watanabe Kyoko raised her gaze upwards.

On the roof beam, Kyogoku Mi released her hands and fell down, kneeling on one knee and bowing her head towards Watanabe Kyoko:

"lady!"

"Get up."

Kyogoku knelt down in front of the low table, his head still slightly lowered.

Kyoko Watanabe continued eating by herself, and after a while, she finally spoke:
"Go, secretly protect those two idiots. I don't want to be killed by them for no reason."

Kyogoku clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent:
"Madam, why don't you kill them?!"

As Kyogoku Mi received a piercing glare from Watanabe Kyoko, he lowered his head again.

"Yes, sir! I'll take care of it immediately!"

In a teahouse not far from the former government office on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

At the third-floor window, Dao Yan had checked her watch more than a dozen times. Usually, around this time, the geisha from Xin Chun Ju would be brought into the original mechanism.

But an unexpected incident occurred today.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door of the private room. Dao Yan turned around and saw that it was Huang Qingzhi who entered.

"What happened?"

Huang Qingzhi stepped forward with a wry smile:
"Team leader, we received a message from Crescent Moon that no one from the original headquarters was transferred there today. We also called New Spring Residence to confirm that the original headquarters did not have this expense today."

Dao Yan's face darkened. He had spent so long figuring out the tricks, only to find that the other party wasn't playing along anymore.

"Alright, let's call Su Min back first."

After Huang Qingzhi left to carry out his orders, Dao Yan remained standing at the window, her gaze fixed on the original main entrance of the mechanism, which was used to conceal the entrance to the sushi restaurant.

Dao Yan had originally thought that she would be able to find out the accurate information about those two virus experts today.

But now, it seems we need to revise the plan, and at the same time, the underground party needs to mobilize its intelligence network to confirm the identities of the two as soon as possible.

Dao Yan's gaze never left the people coming and going from the sushi restaurant.

Seeing two men in gray suits and bowler hats come out, Dao Yan looked at them carefully for a while before turning her gaze to another target.

The two men in gray suits boarded a tram and headed towards Baoshan Street shortly after leaving the sushi restaurant.

Twenty minutes later, Dao Yan's gaze sharpened:
"The chubby-faced guy is back!"

She quickly glanced at her watch and, confirming that Tu Feiyuan had been gone for about two hours, Dao Yan returned to the tea table and took out a map from her handbag.

The journey takes about two hours. Subtracting the time for travel and return, as well as the time spent handling matters upon arrival, there is still about forty minutes of travel time in between.

Within this area, Dao Yan picked up a pen and drew a circle on the map with the original agency as the center. Finally, his gaze fell on six places, including Hongkou Shanyin Road, Wusong Road, and the Military Police Headquarters.

"Could it be that they went to the military police headquarters?"

Now that Tu Feiyuan is in charge of rebuilding the Sheshan Research Institute, he is indeed getting closer to the Military Police Command, so it's no wonder that Dao Yan thought Tu Feiyuan went there.

After putting away the map, Dao Yan returned to the window.

"what happened?"

Dao Yan's expression changed slightly as he watched a team of secret agents suddenly rush out of the sushi restaurant, looking like they were in a hurry.

"Could it be that Tu Feiyuan received some new mission during this trip?"

While Dao Yan continued to observe, inside the original mechanism, Tu Feiyuan's face had turned ashen.

Just woken up and still a little dazed, Michiko Sakai was completely stunned when she saw the chubby, round man:

"Teacher? You're back?"

Doi-maru glared angrily at Sakai Michiko:
"Where are Saburo Kagasawa and Hei Kasahara? Where did they go?"

Startled, Michiko Sakai realized what was happening, and her face turned utterly terrified.
"Teacher, I was tricked by them. I smelled a strange scent at the time, and then... I completely forgot what happened after that."

Tu Feiyuan took a deep breath:

"Go find Nan Ting and bring her to see me!"

At this moment, Doi-man was extremely disappointed in Sakai Michiko.

An old agent, whom he had personally trained, was actually drugged and rendered unconscious by two so-called experts.

Seeing that neither of them could be trusted, Touyuu was both furious and extremely disappointed in Michiko.

Soon, Nan Ting, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, entered the attic. Seeing the chubby guy pacing back and forth, she stopped and spoke:
"Chief, what can I do for you?"

Hearing these cold words, Tu Feiyuan stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharply fixed on Nan Ting:

"You saw Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara?"

Seeing Nan Ting nod, Tu Feiyuan exploded:

"You saw them, why didn't you stop them?"

Nan Ting stared directly at Tu Feiyuan, like an iceberg:
"They have Commander Sakai's pass, why are you stopping them?"

This one sentence left the chubby, unattractive guy speechless.

Nan Ting is indeed meticulous in her work, but she is like a robot, inflexible and does whatever she is told, ignoring everything else.

Such a tool is indeed useful, but sometimes it can also drive people crazy.

"idiot!"

"Take men and search immediately. Even if you have to turn Shanghai upside down, bring him back to me safely! I hope you won't let me down."

Nan Ting nodded, then turned and left without saying a word.

Looking at Sakai Michiko, who was standing to the side with a look of self-reproach after bringing Nan Ting over, Doiyo stepped forward and slapped her twice.

clap clap!

Two handprints appeared on her pretty face, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, yet she remained silent.

Michiko Sakai lowered her head in shame.

"What are you standing there for? Take some men and go find them!"

"Hi!"

Nanjing Road, the private room of the teahouse where Dao Yan was.

Not long after Nan Ting led her team out, Sakai Michiko also hurriedly led her people out of the sushi restaurant, leaving Dao Yan completely bewildered.

Just then, Su Min and Huang Qingzhi returned.

"Team leader."

Dao Yan snapped out of her daze and beckoned the two to her side, where they both stared at the former agency agent who had gone mad:
"Do you know what happened?"

Seeing the two shake their heads, and glancing at the group of former agents who were actually searching shop by shop, Dao Yan's pupils constricted slightly, and she immediately gave the order:

"Withdraw! Meet in the old alley three blocks away. We must find out what's wrong with those guys from the original organization today!?"

On the tram heading towards Baoshan Street, Kasahara Hei and Karasawa Saburo breathed in the air of freedom, and their emotions were exceptionally high.

Kasahara Hei raised his hand to glance at his watch, and chuckled:
"The timing is perfect, let's go straight to the Paramount."

After speaking, Kasahara Hei wanted to hear Karasawa Saburo's reply, but there was no response for a long time.

Kasahara Hei turned his head in confusion to look at Garazawa Saburo, only to find that the guy was staring at a woman who was wearing a light blue cheongsam, had a curvaceous figure, and looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Kasahara Hei's eyes widened when he saw this woman.

Just then, the woman in the cheongsam who was applying lipstick was bumped, and the lipstick she had just closed fell off and rolled right to Kasahara Hei's feet.

The woman in the cheongsam turned around in a panic, looking for her lipstick.

Kasahara Heiwa and Karasawa Saburo, whose profiles already exuded a surge of hormones, almost drooled at this moment.

Kasahara Hei quickly crouched down to pick up the lipstick. The woman in the cheongsam watched the two of them warily. Seeing Kasahara Hei raise his hand to hand her the lipstick, the woman in the cheongsam stepped forward and gave them a sweet smile:

"Thank you!"

"what!"

The woman in the cheongsam gasped in surprise. It turned out that Saburo Karasawa's gaze had been following her, and when he turned around, he bumped into her, causing her to fall into Kasahara Hei's arms.

The panicked woman in the cheongsam quickly snatched the lipstick back from Kasahara Hei's hand and retreated without saying a word.

Just then, the tram arrived at a station. The tram doors opened, and the woman in the cheongsam glanced back at the two of them before hurriedly getting off the tram.

Even after the tram started moving again, Kasahara Hei was still reluctant to leave, inhaling the lingering scent of the woman's perfume like a lecherous man.

Saburo Karasawa, realizing what had happened, was heartbroken:

"Baka! Kasahara-kun, we haven't gotten off the bus yet! We haven't gotten off the bus yet!"

Reminded by this, Kasahara Hei sighed. Yes, he didn't get off the bus. Such a wonderful woman had just slipped away like that.

Their good mood about going to the Paramount instantly vanished.
