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

Chapter 317 There is a ghost
Before Dao Yan could even react to what the other person was saying, the call was disconnected.

A few seconds later, Dao Yan's expression changed, and he immediately turned around, took a book from the bookshelf, opened it to page 66, and looked at the 12th character in the 40th line.

When Dao Yan saw the character "幼" (young), she took a breath; her guess was right!
After reviewing the characters corresponding to 663305, Dao Yan's lips curled into a slight smile:
"Young Tiger! You've finally shown yourself!"

Meeting place: No. 15, Lane 3, Sixth Lane, South City. Meet me at 3 PM tomorrow and introduce me to four people!
Dao Yan smiled, put the books back in their place, and intended to continue handling official business, but after this incident, she was no longer in the mood.

Now, Dao Yan only wants to know who Youhu really is. Also, when they meet tomorrow, Dao Yan plans to settle some scores with him.

Meanwhile, at Baoshan Apartment on Baoshan Street, Jiang He, an underground party member codenamed Postman, wearing a postman's uniform, looked up at the apartment building after parking his bicycle, then entered the building with a cloth bag slung over his shoulder.

After distributing the letters to each household, Jiang He arrived at the door of room 402.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door, and soon a woman with a small, round face and delicate features, wearing a light blue cheongsam, opened the door.

"Hello, is this Ms. Chen? Here is a letter for you. Please sign for it."

The woman who opened the door looked to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a face full of collagen and fair skin—a classic beautiful young woman!
"Did you deliver this to the wrong address? My surname isn't Chen; my name is Wang Weijia."

Jiang He scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, Miss Wang, I'm sorry to bother you."

As he spoke, Jiang He turned and walked away, scratching his head and complaining:

"That shouldn't be the case, how could we have chosen the wrong one?"

Watching the postman leave, Wang Weijia shook her head, closed the door, and went back inside.

After leaving the apartment building, Jiang He found a public phone booth and made a call to his superior.

In a secret room behind the Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road in Shanghai.

After entering the secret room, Sun Jianzhong saw Wang Shuyu sitting at her desk reading a book. He went to the wooden table, drank a bowl of water, and then, under Wang Shuyu's curious gaze, said:

"Shuyu, we've found out. The person living in apartment 402 of Baoshan Apartment is named Wang Weijia. He's a student at Shenjiang University and a key member of the drama club!"

"This is the information that Comrade Chunxiao provided to us."

After putting down the bowl, Sun Jianzhong took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Wang Shuyu.

"The person who lives in the same building as Wang Weijia is the president of the drama club, named Kuang Minsheng. I heard from Comrade Chunxiao that Wang Weijia seemed to be Kuang Minsheng's girlfriend when they were in school. Later, because of this relationship, he took Wang Weijia to live outside the school."

"However, after that, neither Kuang Minsheng, Wang Weijia, nor any other members of the drama club contacted Comrade Chunxiao."

"So, we still don't know what Yi Xincheng from No. 76's purpose is in getting close to Wang Weijia?"

Wang Shuyu remained silent until Sun Jianzhong finished speaking and reviewed the documents in her hand. Only then did she look at Sun Jianzhong:

"Uncle Sun, have you seen the play 'The Assassination of the King of Qin'?"

Sun Jianzhong shook his head:
"I don't have time to go to the theater. Besides, I don't like that stuff. I'd rather listen to a traditional opera than watch a play."

Wang Shuyu smiled:

"Uncle Sun, what I want to say is that the play that this drama club has rehearsed the most is the assassination attempt on the Qin emperor."

"Let me make a bold guess, Uncle Sun, do you think these young men might be planning to assassinate Yi Xincheng, just like they did with the assassination attempt on Qin Shi Huang?"

Sun Jianzhong was stunned, and after realizing what was happening, he said with a serious expression:
"Shuyu, do you mean that it wasn't Yi Xincheng who approached Wang Weijia, but rather that Wang Weijia deliberately approached Yi Xincheng?"

Wang Shuyu nodded slightly:
"It's not impossible, but young people these days are too naive. If that's the case, I think Yi Xincheng would probably have noticed something."

“If we let them continue, these students will be in danger.”

"Of course, our first priority now is to figure out the purpose of these students."

Sun Jianzhong carefully recalled what Comrade Chunxiao had said when they met, and his expression became even more solemn:

"Shuyu, I think your guess is very likely correct!"

In Shanghai, at Villa No. 3 in the Special Higher Police Apartment Complex on Wusong Road.

After Dao Ya left, Zhao Xuan contacted Dao Yan and explained the tasks the Ghost Team needed to complete the next day. Then, he went to the kitchen, picked up a vegetable basket, and planned to go out for some fresh air and buy some groceries.

Prepare a proper meal today, as a way of apologizing to Dao Yan in advance.

Looking at the familiar black Buick sedan in the yard, Zhao Xuan even wondered if he should switch to a Cadillac.

After driving all the way to the entrance of the apartment complex, the military police squad leader guarding the gate immediately moved the roadblock upon seeing Zhao Xuan, bowed, and waited for Zhao Xuan to drive away. Only then did the squad leader hurriedly run back to the guardhouse to make a phone call to the Special Higher Police Section.
"I am Ono Yamashita. Please take me to the office of the Special Higher Police Section Chief."

A few seconds later, Ono Yamashita quickly said:
"Section Chief Lan Ze, Mr. Zhao just drove away from the apartment area. Hey, don't worry, I've already sent people to protect him. Hey, I guarantee that not a single hair on Mr. Zhao's head will be scalped."

After hanging up the phone, Ono Yamashita sighed in distress. He just couldn't understand why, instead of staying at home after being discharged from the hospital, he had to run off to do something.
If something really happens to this guy, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to die.

After leaving the guardhouse, Yamashita Ono looked at his subordinate beside him:

"Did they follow?"

"Captain, it's been arranged, don't worry."

Soon, Zhao Xuan drove to the largest vegetable market in Hongkou District. After parking his car on the street, he carried his shopping basket inside.

As Zhao Xuan passed by the menu, he glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly, before walking inside as if nothing had happened.

A few minutes later, having purposefully purchased the side dishes, Zhao Xuan walked straight to the fish stall and stopped:
"Little girl, how much is this fish?"

Disguised as a fishmonger, Lin Jieru grabbed a grass carp and said with a smile:

"Boss, look how fresh this fish is."

"If you really want it, one silver dollar."

"Young lady, this is too expensive. How about this: one silver dollar for two fish, and you can clean them for me, remove the bones and bones, wrap the bones up, pack the two fish heads separately, mince one fish into fish balls, and slice the other fish thinly. I just don't know if you have such good skills, young boss?"

"Boss, if you want it done this way, one silver dollar won't be enough, unless you leave me the two fish heads. As for whether I have such good skills, if you're sure you want it, then I do."

Lin Jieru really didn't expect that Comrade Chenguang was actually Zhao Xuan. When Zhao Xuan gave the code, Lin Jieru almost forgot the code she was supposed to give in response.

Originally, Lin Jieru came here today just to try her luck and see if she could make contact with Comrade Chenguang.

But to my surprise, the morning light really did arrive.

Chenguang has always been a very mysterious figure; it is said that no one except Xia Gong has ever seen him.

Upon seeing her today, Lin Jieru almost had a brain freeze.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Lin Jieru's lips twitched. Sure enough, no wonder Chen Guang gave her such an absurd rendezvous code back then. So this was what he was waiting for her to do.

However, Lin Jieru had long anticipated that if the rendezvous was successful, given Chenguang's personality, he would probably ask her to take charge.

So Lin Jieru practiced many times in private. Some time ago, she almost threw up from eating fish.

Watching Lin Jieru skillfully begin processing the grass carp, Zhao Xuan stood in front of the fish stall, smiling without saying a word.

As soon as Zhao Xuan entered the market and looked at the price list, he knew that Lin Jieru had arrived.

Zhao Xuan hadn't originally planned to meet with Lin Jieru so soon, but considering he was going to meet with Dao Yan tomorrow, he figured he might as well make the meeting since he'd run into Lin Jieru today.

Lin Jieru's stall was in a rather secluded spot, with few pedestrians passing by. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Xuan asked while rummaging through his wallet:
"Future, why are you in such a hurry to see me? What's the matter?"

"Future" is Lin Jieru's code name, the code name Chenguang gave her when she became Chenguang's subordinate.

Zhao Xuan assigned Lin Jieru a lot of tasks. Just the task of getting completely familiar with Shanghai was enough to keep Lin Jieru running around like crazy.

Zhao Xuan originally planned to train Lin Jieru for a month or two before making contact.

Lin Jieru, who was processing grass carp, didn't even look up. She knew that since Chenguang had spoken to her, it meant that the surroundings were safe.

“In Baoshan Apartment on Baoshan Street, I found the family in apartment 402. Only a young girl lived there. She was a third-year student at Shenjiang University and a member of the drama club. Her name was Wang Weijia.”

“Recently, she has been getting very close to Yi Xincheng, the deputy head of the 76th Intelligence Division. And it’s not just me; last night, another person was also watching Yi Xincheng. It was a woman. I ran into her. Judging from the situation, she probably also wanted to know where Yi Xincheng went so late at night. She went around to the back alley of the apartment building to observe the lights and pinpoint his location.”

"I'd like to ask, should I continue investigating that female student, or should I proceed with the task you assigned me step by step?"

Zhao Xuan smiled after hearing this; this girl certainly had a strong sense of initiative.

"That Wang Weijia, right? Is it possible that she's Yi Xincheng's mistress?"

After finishing the first fish, Lin Jie shook her head and continued processing the second one:

“I investigated Wang Weijia’s basic information. Logically speaking, she and Yi Xincheng should not have any connection. Moreover, the reason why she was able to get close to Yi Xincheng was because Yi Xincheng’s wife often went to Baoshan Apartment to play cards with her sisters from her hometown. Over time, Yi Xincheng ran into Wang Weijia when he went to pick up his wife to go home.”

"As for how Yi Xincheng got into Wang Weijia's room last night, I have no idea."

Zhao Xuan began to think seriously. Based on what Lin Jieru said, Zhao Xuan felt that Wang Weijia deliberately created opportunities to get close to Yi Xincheng.

Yi Xincheng actually fell for Wang Weijia's honey trap.

But why is Wang Weijia getting close to Yi Xincheng? Is she creating opportunities to help the Kuomintang or the underground Communist Party carry out assassinations?

But that feels like going through a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the underground party would never use a female student as bait.

Could it be the Military Intelligence Bureau?
Another situation.

revenge?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Of course, there is another possibility that Zhao Xuan finds it funny, but that is quite likely.

That is, there was a group of passionate young people who, being members of the drama club, thought they were good actors after performing in a few plays. When faced with national crisis, these passionate students got together and, in a moment of impulsiveness, decided to kill traitors. After all, they were just students; what could Yi Xincheng possibly use them for?
Therefore, there are only two possibilities: either he was cooperating with the Kuomintang's secret police to carry out an assassination, or he made the decision in a moment of passion.

In Zhao Xuan's view, the possibility of revenge was too low.

It wasn't that Zhao Xuan didn't believe in Wang Weijia's acting skills; it was just that Zhao Xuan had dealt with Yi Xincheng before, and this person was no ordinary character.

Having survived that three-way power struggle and conspiracy, Yi Xincheng was no simple man.

In addition, Yingzuo valued him highly and kept him in Nanjing for quite some time.

Based on these two points alone, Zhao Xuan didn't believe that if Wang Weijia's true motive was revenge, Yi Xincheng wouldn't have noticed at all.

Once Yi Xincheng discovers this, Wang Weijia will be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

So after considering everything, only one possibility remains: these students, in a moment of impulsiveness, devised an ill-conceived assassination plan.

After reaching a conclusion, Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Jieru, who had already prepared the two fish, and said:

"Contact Secretary Sun and ask them to handle it."

Lin Jieru looked at Zhao Xuan awkwardly:

"I have already told Uncle Sun about the situation."

"Then why did you come to me? To see if we could reconnect? How can you be so childish?"

Lin Jieru blushed instantly.

Zhao Xuan took the cleaned fish and said irritably:
"Complete the task I gave you. I'll test you next time we meet. Also, don't leave until you've sold all the fish!"

Lin Jieru stared blankly at Zhao Xuan as he turned and left, and sighed helplessly.

Looking at the six fish still left on the fish stall, Lin Jieru was almost in tears. How could she have been so reckless as to buy eight fish to sell? And this place is so remote, how long would it take to sell them all?

In a fit of anger, Lin Jie pouted and called out to Zhao Xuan's retreating figure:
"Hey, you haven't paid yet!"

Ding!
A large silver dollar flew in from afar, and Lin Jieru pouted as she reached out to catch it.

Lin Jieru only came to her senses after Zhao Xuan's figure disappeared.

No, my superior is actually Zhao Xuan, no, Chen Guang is actually the traitor Zhao Xuan!

Having just faced Zhao Xuan and now having to deal with fish, Lin Jieru hadn't even had time to process the shock before she was completely stunned.

Now she understood why almost no one in the organization knew Chen Guang's true identity. If Zhao Xuan's identity were exposed, it would cause a major earthquake in Shanghai!
Moreover, she had actually become Zhao Xuan's subordinate, and for a moment, Lin Jieru felt immense pressure.

With such an excellent launch, how am I supposed to catch up?

Lin Jieru was worried that she wouldn't be able to complete the tasks Zhao Xuan had assigned her, but now that she knew Chen Guang's true identity, she gritted her teeth and knew she had to complete them; she had no choice!
On the way back to the Special Higher Police apartment complex, Zhao Xuan had Edith call Sun Jianzhong.

In a secret room behind Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road.

Wang Shuyu, who was sitting in her wheelchair organizing intelligence, was startled when the phone rang. Then, she answered the phone with a look of surprise.

Sun Jianzhong had told her that only Chenguang knew about this phone number.

After answering the phone, Wang Shuyu took a deep breath, trying to contain her excitement:

"Comrade Chenguang!?"

"you are?"

"You really are Comrade Chenguang! Thank you for saving me last time."

"Oh, Wang Shuyu?"

"Yes, thank you so much! I didn't expect you to still remember me!"

Wang Shuyu bit her red lips tightly in excitement, taking several deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Comrade Chenguang, are you looking for Uncle Sun?"

After listening to Chen Guang recount the events, Wang Shuyu clenched her fist slightly and told Chen Guang about the situation, along with her own analysis.

"Therefore, I think those students must have deliberately planned to get close to Yi Xincheng. They probably wanted to assassinate him."

Hearing Chen Guang's reply, and realizing that her analysis was largely the same as Chen Guang's, Wang Shuyu became excited again.

However, Wang Shuyu sighed helplessly when she thought that Chenguang already had a contact person.

Even though she was the first to come into contact with Chenguang, and Chenguang even saved her, Lin Jieru ended up getting the benefit and becoming Chenguang's subordinate.

However, considering that her legs would not be able to move freely for a while, Wang Shuyu continued regretfully:
"Comrade Chenguang, rest assured, we have already started contacting those students. Once we confirm that their motives are just as we suspected, we will definitely not let them go down a path of no return."

"Um, Comrade Chenguang, wait a minute, don't hang up. If I have an emergency later, how can I contact you?"

Hearing the silence on the phone, Wang Shuyu sighed. She knew she was making a mistake by asking that question, but she couldn't help herself.

As a result, Chen Guang hung up the phone directly, which made Wang Shuyu feel both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shuyu instantly perked up. Now that Chenguang's idea confirmed her own guess, Wang Shuyu felt more and more that those students really wanted to learn that "assassination of Qin".

Now she can only hope that Uncle Sun will handle this matter as soon as possible.

The students of Shenjiang University have a strong sense of patriotism; they should not have died because of an impulsive decision.

Yi Xincheng is not someone those students can handle.

Shanghai, No. 76 Jisifeier Road, Director's Office.

Ding Moqun has been having a very leisurely time these days, spending his days drinking tea and reading newspapers in the office.

However, today, Ding Moqun received a long-awaited telegram.

Pangolins have become active again.

Having just finished translating and reading the telegram, Ding Moqun heard a knock at the door. He put his things in the drawer before looking towards the door:

"Enter."

Seeing that it was Dao Yan who pushed the door open and entered, Ding Moqun asked curiously:
"Little Knife, what brings you to visit your uncle who stayed behind in the countryside today?"

Hearing Ding Moqun's teasing, Dao Yan smiled and walked to the desk.
"Uncle, Ah Xuan was hospitalized a while ago, so I stayed there to take care of him. But now that Ah Xuan has been discharged, I'm back at work!"

Ding Moqun looked at Dao Yan with doting eyes and shook his head with a smile:
"Alright, tell me, what do you want with your uncle who's always looking out for you at this hour?"

Upon hearing this, Dao Yan immediately ran around to Ding Moqun's side, nudging his shoulder and starting to whine:
"Uncle~"

"Alright, alright, you're an old man, can you take this shaking? Tell me, what is it? If you don't tell me, I won't agree!"

Dao Yan smiled broadly and stood beside Ding Moqun, saying:
“Uncle, I was so scared by what happened to Ah Xuan this time, so I plan to go to the International Cemetery tomorrow to tell Ah Xuan’s parents that we should pay our respects.”

Ding Moqun nodded:
“During the Lunar New Year this year, Ah Xuan stayed at the Military Police Hospital, and I had a lot of things to do, so I didn’t have time to do this.”

"But, Little Knife, does it have to be tomorrow? I won't have time to go with you tomorrow."

Dao Yan pursed her lips, almost rolling her eyes at Ding Moqun.

“Uncle, once Ah Xuan has fully recovered, we’ll have to go again. This time, I’ll just offer a simple prayer.”

"I'll take Xiaoya with me tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ding Moqun nodded:
"Okay, you just came back from your leave and now you're asking for more. You might as well come back a couple of days later."

Dao Yan thought to herself, she had no idea that the young tiger would suddenly go crazy and want to make contact with her.

After recounting this, Ding Moqun thought for a moment and then said to Dao Yan:
"Xiao Dao, I haven't visited Ah Xuan during his hospitalization. He must be upset with me, right?"

"Uncle, don't overthink it. I've already told Ah Xuan that I've taken leave. You must be even busier, Uncle, so how could you possibly have time to visit him?"

Ding Moqun smiled and nodded:

"At least you have some conscience. Since you're here, I'll tell you something else so I don't have to come looking for you again."

As he spoke, Ding Moqun picked up the phone and dialed the office of the head of the intelligence section.

"Section Chief Miao, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Dao Yan walked back to the desk and stood still.

A moment later, Miao Xue pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that Dao Yan was also there, Miao Xue nodded slightly to Dao Yan before closing the door and walking forward to stand with her.

"I called you here today because there's something I need you to do."

"Has Yi Xincheng been going to Baoshan Street a lot after get off work lately?"

Dao Yan looked at Ding Moqun calmly. Although she had witnessed this scene by chance, she didn't say anything and pretended not to know.

Miao Xue, as the head of the intelligence section, nodded immediately after listening:
“That’s right. Deputy Section Chief Yi often goes to Baoshan Apartment. I investigated and found that his wife has an old friend there, so he often goes there to play cards. Yi Xincheng goes there to pick up his wife and take her home.”

"but."

Ding Moqun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Miao Xue and asked:

"But what?"

"However, I also discovered that Yi Xincheng not only went to pick up his wife, but also frequently went in and out of room 402. His wife played cards in room 401, and room 402 was occupied by a young and beautiful girl who was currently studying at Shenjiang University. The girl's name was Wang Weijia."

Ding Moqun nodded:
"That's right. I have reliable intelligence that the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station has its eye on Yi Xincheng and plans to intercept and kill him the day after tomorrow."

"The person leading the team this time is Mao Sanlin, the newly appointed deputy station chief of the Shanghai station. You should not be familiar with this person."
