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

Chapter 313 Trading
Faced with this situation, Tu Feiyuan was truly furious. Who was forcibly taking it from him?
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate and a gunfight could break out at any moment, a foreigner stepped out of the cargo ship.

Upon seeing the foreigner, even the chubby-faced man was somewhat bewildered, while Michiko Sakai couldn't help but rub her eyes.

"Mr. Doi-Yuan, please do not obstruct our unloading. If you delay the goods from being stored, I will take your head with me!"

Doi-man was panting heavily. He slowly raised his hand to signal his men to step back before Sakata Ohno snorted coldly and ordered the military police to begin unloading the goods.

Sakata Ohno brought a whole squadron of military police with him this time, just in case the goods were stolen by some audacious individuals during transport.

However, Sakata Ohno did not expect that the first person to set his sights on this batch of goods would be the former agency.

After leaving more than twenty military police officers ahead to guard and block their way, Sakata Ohno led his men towards the cargo ship. Doi-Yuan turned his head to look at Michiko:

"Contact the Military Police Headquarters immediately and find out what exactly happened."

"If Koji Ida doesn't give me an explanation, I'll definitely get the cabinet to make him regret it!"

Michiko Sakai quickly agreed and was about to lead her people to the military police headquarters to find out the details when a cargo ship approached the Shiliupu Wharf.

Looking at the cargo ship flying the Japanese flag, Doi-Yuan's eyes widened, and he grabbed Michiko's arm:
"Have we made a mistake?"

Michiko Sakai didn't quite understand what was going on, but upon closer inspection, she realized that the cargo ship that had just arrived wasn't flying the Japanese flag, so the one that was about to dock was the one they were waiting for.
"Teacher, I think we should wait until the cargo ship docks before asking around."

Doi-Yuan nodded, feeling that today's events were inexplicable, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Soon, the cargo ship flying the Japanese flag docked, but the military police still guarded the front and did not allow the original staff to pass.

Left with no other choice, Doi-man could only wait for the military police to unload the cargo before he could check on the other cargo ship.

Fortunately, on the cargo ship that arrived later, a fat, chubby man I knew appeared on the deck.

After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Tu Feiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually made a blunder!
The cargo ship, which was supposed to dock at six o'clock, is now at six-thirty, which makes Tu Feiyuan very angry.

Shanghai, Shiliupu Wharf.

Doi-man waited there for a full half hour before watching the military police unload the cargo ship and load it onto trucks.

Having dealt with all of this, Sakata Ohno once again approached Doi-man:
"Mr. Doiyuu, it seems there was a misunderstanding before. I noticed that the people on that cargo ship are quite anxious, so I won't disturb your business any longer. I'm in a hurry here."

Tu Feiyuan snorted angrily, "You can see that they're anxious, but you just had more than twenty armed military police guarding this place, not allowing anyone to approach the cargo ships in the port, and not allowing anyone on board to leave. Even if they're anxious, it's no use."

Doi-Yuan ignored Sakata Ohno and hurriedly led his men toward another cargo ship, where the Japanese also quickly disembarked.

"Lord Doi-Yu-Yu!"

Tu Feiyuan waved his hand:
"Yamashita-kun, what's going on with you guys? You're a full half hour late!"

Looking bitterly at the plump, round figure below the mountain:
"We ran into some trouble at sea. We encountered a naval warship and a civilian cargo ship, so we had to change course and detour around the naval side. But unexpectedly, those naval officers wanted to inspect our cargo ship."

Looking at the faces of people down the mountain, Tu Feiyuan's heart was in his throat:
"So you're going to be late? Nothing else, right?"

Yamashita, his face flushed, said angrily:

"Your Excellency, you must do us justice! When the Navy's horsemen inspected the materials, they said it was an operational error that caused some damage. But after our re-inspection, we found that all the hydrogen chloride in the raw materials was missing."

“We also sought an explanation from the Navy, but they said they had never seen any hydrogen chloride. Besides, it is normal for losses to occur during the inspection process.”

Before Yamashita could finish speaking, Doi-man stumbled back several steps. If Sakai Michiko hadn't quickly caught him, Doi-man would probably have fallen to the ground.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

Yamashita was almost in tears looking at the enraged, chubby man, but since things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Lord Doi-Yuan, all the hydrogen chloride and materials that can be catalyzed into hydrogen chloride in the raw materials are gone. It must have been embezzled by those horse-drawn carriages in the Navy!"

Doi-man raised his hand, wanting to slap Yamashita to death, but just as he raised his hand, he took a deep breath. After a while, he pushed away Sakai Michiko, who was supporting him.

"You idiot! You and Michiko, come with me to the Marine Corps headquarters right now. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with them!"

This batch of raw materials is crucial to the future of the Sheshan project. Most importantly, the funds for this batch of raw materials were advanced by the original government agency.

Now that hydrogen chloride is gone, it's like losing one of the most important raw materials for making poison gas bombs. So what's the point of making poison gas bombs? What's the point of the Sheshan project then?
"Also, send the remaining raw materials to the Sheshan underground warehouse immediately. If any more problems arise, Yamashita-kun, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

Yamashita quickly led the agents from the original organization to arrange the delivery and then hurried back to Doi-man's side. They then headed towards the Marine Corps headquarters together.

Meanwhile, at Zhabei Wharf.

Daoya and Sato Ai watched as the navy personnel helped unload and load the cargo. The trucks parked in front of the dock were all full. Daoya shook hands with Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro.
"Uncle Iitaro, Uncle Toyota, now that we've settled the payment, we'll need your help in the future."

Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro burst into laughter.

Originally, the two thought that Toa and Sato Ai would pay part of the money first, after all, 200,000 US dollars was no small amount.

Unexpectedly, Dao Ya paid in full at once, which made the two realize that Dao Ya and Sato Ai had plenty of funds and were very sincere. Such a high-quality partner was hard to find.

"My two nieces are very generous. Don't worry, from now on, as long as your goods are shipped by sea, we guarantee that they can be delivered wherever you want, and there will absolutely be no problems!"

"By the way, I also ordered the Song family's cargo ship to be towed back."

At this point, Iitarou narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Touya with a half-smile:
“Niece Daoya, there are some things we shouldn’t interfere with. As long as the business lasts, any form of cooperation is fine. For example, this time, although we discovered something interesting about the Song family’s freight, it doesn’t matter.”

Jiro Toyoda also laughed and said:
"What Iitaro said is right, Xiaoya and Xiaoai. We know that your business is big. We can't guarantee anything in other places, but at sea, we can vouch for you. You'll have no trouble getting around!"

Daoya smiled and nodded:

“I naturally believe what my two uncles say.”

"Perfect timing, uncles. Here is tomorrow's purchase order. Take a look and also calculate the cost of the sea escort."

Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro took the items with some confusion.

We had discussed the shipment deal before, but what's going on with this purchase order?
Upon closer inspection, the two understood what Dao Ya meant.

This is clearly giving them money.

After all, the items on the purchase order are just some conventional industrial equipment that can be brought in through normal channels, and there is no need for the navy to get involved at all.

But Dao Ya, ironically, pushed this business directly into their laps.

The two exchanged a glance, and knowing what Toa was thinking, Iitarou smiled and said:

“Xiaoya, it’s nothing. Helping you safely escort your things back to the port is what an uncle should do. Let’s not talk about money.”

Upon hearing this, Dao Ya smiled brightly and said:
"Uncle Iitaro, you're mistaken. Although you can mobilize warships for escort, warships still need oil for maintenance when they're deployed. So, I'll take advantage of this and only have to pay for the maintenance, which is ten thousand US dollars!"

"Uncles, please don't refuse!"

Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro couldn't help but gasp; this was practically handing them money.

Even if the deployment of warships is as Dao Ya said, these are matters for the supply depot, and have nothing to do with the two of them.

So the ten thousand dollars went straight into their pockets.

Ten thousand US dollars! Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro simply couldn't bring themselves to refuse.

Although they received $200,000 this time, they still had to share it with others. Otherwise, the inspection had resulted in the loss of such a large batch of raw materials by Doiyu, which they couldn't have covered on their own.

So of the 200,000, in the end, only a little over 20,000 would actually end up in their pockets each.

This time, Dao Ya is giving away ten thousand US dollars, how could they refuse!

With this money, plus the subsequent collaborations with Toa and Sato Ai, their finances were booming, more than enough for them to use for public relations and promotions.

"Alright, my niece Xiaoya, since you insist on this, it would be unreasonable for your uncle to refuse again."

"But Xiaoya and Xiaoai, you don't need to worry about anything after that. If anyone comes to cause trouble, contact us immediately. Our navy won't tolerate those army bastards!"

After the matter was resolved, Daoya and Sato Ai rode together on the delivery truck back to the old factory warehouse.

On her way back, Daoya received a call from Nanmi.

Edith's voice came through the headset phone, and Daoya, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the truck, lit up. She hung up the phone without making a sound.

During the phone call, Edith told Dao Ya that Miao Xue needed a batch of equipment from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Just then, on the Special Higher Police side, Aizawa Keiko sent all the equipment seized from the previously destroyed Military Intelligence Bureau stronghold to the old factory warehouse, so that Daoya could sell it on the black market.

So after returning to the warehouse, Dao Ya immediately had Edith contact Miao Xue.

Having already reached a cooperation agreement with Nan Ting, Miao Xue, after receiving Dao Ya's response, hurriedly drove to the old factory area with the money.

On the other side, at the Shanghai Station on Rue Pétain in the French Concession.

Fu Zhengguo looked at the returning assassins with surprise in his eyes.

After hearing their words, Fu Zhengguo was speechless. Like his subordinates on the mission, Fu Zhengguo was completely bewildered.

Undoubtedly, the mission failed, as the raw materials were not destroyed.

"Don't rush this. You can go and rest. I'll let you know once I've figured it out."

After everyone left, Fu Zhengguo looked at Zheng Yi, who had been acting as his temporary secretary.

"Xiao Zheng, what exactly happened with Fengweilan? This is too bizarre. You just heard what they said: they were escorted back to port by the Japanese Navy. Can you believe it?"

Zheng Yi shook his head with a wry smile:

“Station Chief, we still need to ask Phoenix Orchid. After all, she was the one who proposed the mission. But the whole mission was suspicious. The bullets were fake, and the explosives were fake. It’s obvious that Phoenix Orchid was tricked.”

"The most unbelievable thing is that they were able to return safely after being surrounded by the Japanese navy, and were even brought back by the Japanese navy. According to them, it was due to the negligence of the Song family that they later requested the help of the Japanese navy to tow their cargo ship, which was stranded at sea, back. This just doesn't make sense."

As for who tricked them, Fu Zhengguo and Zheng Yi were both smart people and naturally knew it was Tiger Girl.

After all, Dao Yan explained the reasons when he handed over the mission.

What the two couldn't understand was, why was Tiger Girl playing with the phoenix tail orchid? Was it just for fun?
Fu Zhengguo's lips twitched. In all his years of intelligence work, this was the most outrageous thing ever.

"Well, that's all we can do. We need to contact Phoenix Tail Orchid as soon as possible and find out what happened."

Now that everything was ready, Miao Xue drove back to the Military Police Hospital.

Inside the VIP ward, Zhao Xuan had already asked Dao Yan to leave. Zhao Xuan knew that Dao Yan was not focused on her work here, so it was better to let her go back so that she could find out the follow-up of the mission and also so that Dao Yan could figure out how to deal with Dao Ya.

As for Aizawa Keiko, although she had already turned against Ito Heiji, she couldn't feel at ease until she personally witnessed the virus being safely delivered to the Special Higher Police's Technical Section.

So when Miao Xue arrived, Zhao Xuan was the only one in the ward.

"Section Chief, everything is done. Is there anything else you need to tell me? If not, I'll go back and meet up with Suzuki Haruko."

Zhao Xuan looked at Miao Xue and said solemnly:
"Stay close to Haruko Suzuki during tonight's operation, and don't rush into any dangerous place!"

Miao Xue's eyes reddened, and she quickly nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan smiled and asked:
"By the way, what did Nan Ting ask for?"

Miao Xue shook her head:

"No, she said she would do one last thing for the section chief."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but laugh. Nan Ting, this woman, how to put it, is loyal and righteous. She said she would help him one last time, but she said the same thing last time.

Zhao Xuan really couldn't bear to see someone like that get dragged down by this sense of loyalty one day.

"Then keep an eye on Nanting. If she encounters any difficulties, let me know immediately, and we'll help if we can."

Miao Xue didn't have a good impression of Nan Ting at first because her personality was too similar to her own.

In Miao Xue's view, Nan Ting was an enemy, and a cold-blooded one at that.

After getting to know her, Miao Xue discovered that Nan Ting was a pure person. She might not say anything, but she would show it through her actions if someone was good to her.

So gradually, Miao Xue also began to treat Nan Ting as a friend. Although it was difficult to get in touch, true friends only need to let each other know if they need anything, and there's no need to contact each other frequently.

Meanwhile, Dao Yan also met Zheng Yi at the Kaisiling Café on Avenue Joffre in the French Concession.

At the innermost booth in the cafe, Dao Yan had stopped stirring her coffee with her spoon quite some time ago.

Listening to Zheng Yi recount the mission, Dao Yan, who had already suspected that her sister had tricked her, was now certain of it.

Dao Yan was just a little curious. Since her sister didn't choose this option, what method would she use to destroy the Japanese ship of raw materials?
"So, were you tricked?"

Dao Yan rolled her eyes at Zheng Yi, "You know it in your heart, why do you have to say it out loud!"
"I still haven't met Young Tiger. Tiger Girl, who has been in contact with me all along, is the link between Young Tiger and me. She said that this task was given to her by Young Tiger, and as his subordinate, I naturally have to do my part. I just didn't expect that these two damned guys would dare to play me!"

Zheng Yi chuckled awkwardly and sighed:

"But it's good that everyone is back safe and sound. You still need to meet with the cub as soon as possible. It's not a good idea to always have Tiger Girl relaying messages between you."

Dao Yan's expression darkened. Did she not want to make contact with the young tiger?
The young tiger kept making excuses to avoid it.

"I think Young Tiger still suspects my identity. Otherwise, why would he come up with so many excuses to avoid meeting with me?"

Zheng Yi nodded:

“What you say makes sense, but with Young Tiger’s abilities, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to figure it out. In my opinion, Young Tiger’s identity is probably not simple, and he might even be right next to you.”

Dao Yan was slightly taken aback, various images flashing through her mind, but in the end, she shook her head:
“If he were here with me, there would be no way I wouldn’t have noticed.”

Zhao Xuan was the person Dao Yan suspected the most, but every time she suspected him, Zhao Xuan could provide a perfect alibi, or even a perfect proof that he wasn't a cub.

The facts are undeniable. Even if Dao Yan always felt that Zhao Xuan was a young tiger, she had to admit that Zhao Xuan could not possibly be a young tiger.

As for Dao Ya, Dao Yan also doubted the true identity of her good younger sister.

Is she a tiger cub or a tiger girl?

Ultimately, after repeated deductions, Dao Yan concluded that even if Zhao Xuan was a young tiger, Dao Ya could not be a young tiger.

Therefore, Dao Ya's identity can only be Hu Niu.

Sometimes even Dao Yan couldn't understand why You Hu would choose Dao Ya as his liaison if he was blind.

After all, before graduation, Dao Ya was still a young girl, innocent and greedy.

Dao Yan couldn't possibly think that someone like that would be noticed by the Military Intelligence Bureau, let alone by Young Tiger.

But this makeshift world is just so bizarre.

"I'll ask Tiger Girl about this. Oh, and there's another thing I came here for. Tonight, Suzuki Haruko will make a move against the original organization. Our people have been keeping an eye on that area. I hope our people won't make a move tonight."

Zheng Yi looked at Dao Yan in confusion. Wasn't Suzuki Haruko's attack on the original mechanism a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Seeing Zheng Yi's expression, Dao Yan said helplessly:

"You should know what those two experts who were detained at their original agencies caused yesterday. They have an extremely dangerous virus. The Special Higher Police will also be involved in tonight's operation; they will steal the virus."

"So not only can we not take action, but if necessary, we should also help the Special Higher Police. I won't go into the reasons, but I'm sure you can guess them."

Zheng Yi nodded solemnly:
"Okay, I'll make sure to let them know."

"But what about those two experts? Are we just going to watch Suzuki Haruko succeed?"

Dao Yan shrugged:

"What else can we do? Can the Hurricane Team guarantee that they can kill the people from the original organization and Suzuki Haruko?"

"If the Hurricanes get involved, they will likely suffer heavy losses, which would be a losing proposition."

Now that the matter has been brought up, Zheng Yi has nothing to object to.

Before leaving, Zheng Yi looked at Dao Yan, who was slowly stirring her coffee, and said:
"Your mission is not over yet. It will probably take another month before it can be put into use at Sheshan. When the Japanese escort those two experts to Sheshan, we will need their accurate route and schedule."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things. Also, I've noticed recently that several students from Shenjiang University have been contacting Yi Xincheng, the newly appointed deputy head of the 76th Intelligence Division. Are those students our people, or people we want to recruit?"

Zheng Yi rejected it immediately after hearing it:

"No, you know our current situation. We won't take any further action until the people over there arrive, to avoid any complications. Those students you noticed might be from the underground party, or they might not be; they might just be a bunch of hot-blooded young people. We don't need to worry about that."

At the Marine Corps headquarters, Doi-man and a serving naval colonel were banging on the table in their office.

The communication between the two parties was fruitless.

The navy insisted that some damage was inevitable during the cargo inspection process, and that all ships passing through their controlled waters must be inspected. They also claimed that the cargo ship entered their controlled waters first, and that the navy was simply following regulations.

This infuriated Doiyu, who immediately said he would contact the Cabinet to ask them to take charge and demand an explanation from the Navy.

The naval captain who received Doiyu didn't tolerate it and immediately had a radio brought over, pointing to it and telling Doiyu to make the call on the spot.

Michiko and Yamashita stood aside, speechless and helpless.

The two men simply couldn't stand the Navy's shameless behavior.

Doiyu was genuinely angry this time. Since the navy dared to provide a radio, Doiyu sent a telegram to the cabinet right in front of the navy captain.

This has exacerbated the already irreconcilable conflict between the two sides.

For a full three hours, after receiving the cabinet's reply, Doi-man slumped onto the sofa in the naval reception room, as if all his energy had been drained.

The cabinet's response was vague, seemingly trying to seek justice for Doiyu, but in reality it was reassuring the navy, saying that the navy was following procedures without any problems.

After all, the most important part of Japan's next strategic move is the navy, so the cabinet certainly won't create trouble for itself by arguing with the Navy Commander-in-Chief, especially not for the sake of the army and the navy. There's no need for that!
