Chapter 340 Great Victory
Zhao Xuan never expected that Lan Zehuizi would trust Xiao Ya so much, or rather, that Lan Zehuizi would trust their whole family so much.

"Xiaoya won't talk nonsense, don't worry, Ayan, right, Axuan?"

Zhao Xuan chuckled:
"Huizi, I invited you over for dinner tonight so you could help Xiaoya realize her mistakes, but you've been just trying to smooth things over."

Lan Zehui interrupted Zhao Xuan with a smile:
"In short, Xiaoya did the right thing this time. Without Xiaoya, where would we get involved in the Female Ai Project?"

"Even if the navy finds out and causes trouble, I won't let anything happen to Xiaoya. I'll protect her. If I can't, my mother will too!"

Zhao Xuan sighed with a wry smile, but found it amusing in his heart.

Dao Yan was speechless for a moment. Originally, she had invited Lan Zehuizi to watch their family put on a show, but now, Lan Zehuizi had completely sided with Xiao Ya without any principles.

After finishing her meal, Dao Ya took the initiative to clear the dishes and wash them in the kitchen, thinking she could do something to make up for her previous mistake.

After confirming several times that Dao Yan and Zhao Xuan would not make things difficult for Xiao Ya, Lan Zehuizi took her leave.

In the kitchen, Dao Ya placed the dishes in the sink and walked smugly into the living room:

"Sister, brother-in-law, how was my performance today? Not bad, right?"

The Female Ai Project was indeed obtained thanks to Dao Ya and her team; Dao Ya played a crucial role in this.

Dao Yan also smiled at Dao Ya:
"Okay, okay, you're amazing, alright? But are you sure there's no problem with the Navy?"

Dao Ya sat down next to Dao Yan and said calmly:
"Don't worry, Iitaro and Toyoda Jiro still need me to raise funds. In the Navy, promotion isn't just about resume. Without my big capital support, when will they ever get promoted?"

"But brother-in-law, did you manage to get your hands on the Female Ai Project?"

Dao Yan is now looking at Zhao Xuan with great anticipation.

However, Zhao Xuan shook his head. Although he had already obtained the complete female AI project and even translated the list, he was still confident in his ability to do so.

This group included not only spies planted within the Japanese by the Zhenxingqi Society, but also spies from the Military Intelligence Bureau, the underground Communist Party, and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

This was a nearly ten-year-long plan, during which Zhenxingqi Society trained more than fifty spies.

Zhao Xuan would try to divide the Female Ai Project among the spies in the Military Intelligence Bureau, either by handing the list over to Shancheng or by having Dao Yan submit the list.

And on the underground party side, we also need to eliminate those spies in the female AIDS plan as soon as possible.

This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later.

"The items are in a Citibank safe deposit box. Without the key and password, no one can take them out unless the Japanese completely abandon all martial ethics."

Dao Yan nodded solemnly and said:

"So, it seems that Aizawa Keiko's side also sent people to stake out Citibank?"

“That’s right, Yamao Kazuo is still there, so we have no chance at all. But don’t worry, as long as the people from the Shinsei Flag Society go to retrieve the items, Yamao Kazuo will definitely snatch them back. Once the items are in the hands of the Special Higher Police, I’ll see if there’s any way to steal the Female Ai Project.”

Dao Yan looked at Zhao Xuan with concern and held his hand tightly:

"Ah Xuan, be extremely careful. If there's no opportunity, just give up. Staying undercover is the most important thing. You absolutely cannot expose your identity because of a female Ai plan!"

Nighttime, the master bedroom on the second floor of Villa No. 3 in the Special Higher Police apartment complex.

Looking at Dao Yan, who was asleep on his side with a faint smile on his lips, Zhao Xuan reached out and pulled the blanket over Dao Yan's smooth shoulder.

Sometimes Zhao Xuan couldn't understand why Dao Yan hadn't gotten pregnant despite his best efforts. Could it be that there was something wrong with him or Dao Yan?

It seems I need to find some time to go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital with Dao Yan for a check-up.

Leaning against the headboard, Zhao Xuan closed his eyes and began to think.

The female Ai plan has been obtained, and it would be easy to split the list, but doing so would undoubtedly arouse suspicion from Boss Dai.

After much deliberation, Zhao Xuan decided to hand over the complete list to Shancheng, and it was also time to make use of Chenguang's identity.

(Edith, a secret telegram from the mountain city, tells Boss Dai that the underground party's Chenguang has contacted me, hoping to cooperate with me to obtain the list of female Ai Project members. He asks if I agree?)
(Okay, sir.)
In the mountain city, at the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was late at night, and Liu Mingyan, who was working overtime in the communications department, was feeling drowsy.

But when the familiar Morse code sound came through her headphones, Liu Mingyan snapped back to reality and instinctively grabbed her pen to start taking notes.

A few minutes later, Liu Mingyan looked at the telegram in her hand and frowned.

She has never been able to obtain the codebook for cracking the young tiger's secret telegrams. Every time the young tiger sends a secret telegram, she feels both excited and helpless.

After all, every time the young tiger sent a secret telegram, it was either to announce a major operation against the Japanese or to indicate that the Japanese had already suffered a great blow.

However, similarly, if the War of Resistance against Japan ended and the Japanese were defeated, Liu Mingyan believed that there would inevitably be a war between our party and the Kuomintang.

This young tiger is too formidable. If she cannot confirm the young tiger's identity as soon as possible during her infiltration, Liu Mingyan is afraid that if they defeat the Japanese, Boss Dai will send the young tiger to Yan'an again to infiltrate the area.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingyan couldn't help but shudder. She simply couldn't imagine how much trouble the young tiger would cause to our party!
After taking a deep breath, Liu Mingyan picked up the phone on her desk:
"I am Liu Mingyan. Is Boss Dai still here?"

"Please contact Boss Dai as soon as possible. The Telecommunications Department has just received an urgent coded telegram."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Mingyan memorized the coded message.

Ever since Tiger Girl first sent a coded telegram, Liu Mingyan would record the entire message word for word every time she returned home.

Although the young tiger's coded telegrams cannot be deciphered yet, Liu Mingyan believes that they will be able to decipher them one day. At that time, the things mentioned in the young tiger's coded telegrams will most likely be of help to our party.

This is all Liu Mingyan can do now.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaoman, Song Rong, and others who were tracking the traitor Luo Dalin saw him walk out of the restaurant and suddenly collapse to the ground after only a few steps.

Zhou Xiaoman was completely dumbfounded. Song Rong cursed under his breath and quickly led his men forward to investigate.

Seeing Luo Dalin's dark lips, Song Rong clenched her fists in anger.

They had already found the person and were just waiting to follow the clues, but unexpectedly, Luo Dalin was assassinated right under their noses.

"Immediately seal off that restaurant and report the situation. Xiaoman, come with me!"

Zhou Xiaoman's eyes blazed with fury. Twice now, she had been outmaneuvered by the pangolin. Zhou Xiaoman began to doubt whether the skills she had learned were truly enough to deal with the pangolin.
With a long sigh of relief, Zhou Xiaoman hurriedly followed Song Rong into the restaurant.

At this time, there are no customers left in the restaurant.

The restaurant owner had already left, and there were only two waiters left in the restaurant. Even the chef who had cooked for Luo Dalin had already gone home.

In this situation, Song Rong couldn't understand how Luo Dalin had been poisoned.
Two waiters had been brought over, and they looked at Song Rong and Zhou Xiaoman in horror.

After a brief inquiry, Song Rong was basically certain that the matter had nothing to do with the two waiters.

Tonight, after leaving the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters, Luo Dalin came directly to this restaurant for dinner.

It was late, and there weren't many people in the restaurant to begin with.

The agents that Song Rong initially sent in withdrew as time went by.

After all, you can't sit in a restaurant for four or five hours, can you?
Moreover, as the night grew later, Song Rong did not send anyone else into the restaurant.

After all, their chefs had already gone home, so there was no reason for them to stay even if someone was sent in.

Therefore, Song Rong and Zhou Xiaoman were both observing and monitoring the area with people nearby.

During this process, neither of them noticed anything unusual.

But Luo Dalin still died.

Moreover, Luo Dalin sat in the restaurant for nearly five hours tonight.

This was abnormal to begin with, but their preconceived notions led Song Rong and Zhou Xiaoman to believe that Luo Dalin was making a choice: to run away or to take a gamble.

"Team leader, these are the cutlery, wine glasses, plates, and napkins that Luo Dalin used."

"Send it for testing!"

After leaving a message, Song Rong carefully checked the spot where Luo Dalin had just been sitting, but found nothing there either.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoman standing to the side, somewhat dazed, Song Rong sighed:

"What's wrong? Feeling discouraged?"

Zhou Xiaoman nodded and then shook her head.

"A little, but I can't figure it out. Luo Dalin clearly knew what he would encounter here, so why isn't he afraid of death?"

Song Rong's eyes lit up, and she had some guesses in her mind.

"Shen Congwen, I asked you to send people to monitor Luo Dalin's family. How is the situation now?"

Zhou Xiaoman also turned her gaze to Shen Congwen.

Shen Congwen replied with a solemn expression:

“No problem. Luo Dalin’s family has been under our surveillance. There have been no abnormalities and no one has approached them.”

Song Rong crossed her arms, her eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light. After a few minutes, she finally spoke, her brows slightly furrowed:

“If that’s the case, Luo Dalin has no reason to choose death. He came from the third phase of special training. Unless his family members’ lives are threatened, he shouldn’t make this choice. No one can force him to face life and death so calmly.”

"Moreover, he died as a traitor, and his family will inevitably be punished after his death. There's no reason he wouldn't have thought of this. Could he be so cold-blooded as to not even care about his family?"

Zhou Xiaoman stepped forward and, standing in front of the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window, watched as Luo Dalin was being carried into an ambulance by two medical personnel. She said, with a hint of doubt in her heart:

"Sister Rong, I feel that things are not that simple. Just as you said, there are many suspicious points about Luo Dalin's choice of how to die."

"Never mind, let's wait for the test report and the practical report first."

Song Rong smiled at Zhou Xiaoman standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, then turned her gaze to the ambulance on the street.

The ambulance from Renai Hospital arrived really quickly!
"Xiaoman, you take the people to Ren'ai Hospital first, I'll go and report the situation to Boss Dai."

Half an hour later, Zhou Xiaoman arrived at Ren'ai Hospital with her entourage.

After finding the doctor on duty that night and inquiring about the location of Luo Dalin's body, Zhou Xiaoman's expression changed drastically:

"What did you say? No ambulances were dispatched from the hospital tonight? How is that possible? I saw it with my own eyes, damn it, Sister Rong must have noticed something was wrong."

"Shen Congwen, quick, bring your men and come with me. We must find Sister Rong!"

In a house in the southwest of the mountain city, Song Rong followed the trail of the ambulance and finally found it.

Looking at the layout of this place, Song Rong smiled. There were quite a few sentries, both overt and covert. It seemed that this place was a hideout for enemy agents.

Moreover, it was a very large-scale operation.

If this place is shut down, the pangolins will probably be furious.

Song Rong hadn't expected Luo Dalin to fake his death and escape. However, his method was somewhat crude, especially compared to Zhao Xuan's.

After all, when Zhao Xuan saved her, the method he used was so skillful that it even fooled the Japanese. In fact, Song Rong thought she was really dead at the time.

In contrast, the plot of the pangolin helping Luo Dalin fake his death and escape was full of flaws in Song Rong's opinion.

At the scene, Song Rong initially believed that Luo Dalin was dead, but the ambulance arrived shortly afterward.

It was then that Song Rong realized that Luo Dalin wanted to fake his death to escape.

I knew it! How could someone who graduated from three phases of special training be so despondent as to commit suicide?

Furthermore, he deliberately stayed in the restaurant until so late to clear the streets, making it easier for the pangolin rescuers to come and save him.

Finding the pangolin's lair was an unexpected bonus for Song Rong.

The reason Song Rong didn't tell Zhou Xiaoman about the situation at the time was that she didn't trust the people in the group and suspected that there were enemy agents in the investigation team as well.

As for whether it is true or not, we'll know once we meet Zhou Xiaoman.

If Ren'ai Hospital didn't receive the call and dispatch an ambulance, then the person who made the contact will be implicated.

This way, they can uncover another pawn that Pangolin had planted within the Military Intelligence Bureau, achieving multiple goals at once.

Now, judging by the timeline, Zhou Xiaoman should have realized what was happening and be searching for her all over the city with her entourage.

Song Rong glanced at the houses and smiled disdainfully before carefully turning back.

Finding a public phone booth, Song Rong called Dai's mansion in Shenxiandong directly.

"I am the conductor, the code is correct, and the green hills should see me in the same way."

"Find Boss Dai."

"What did you say? Boss Dai has returned to headquarters. Good."

Song Rong rolled her eyes helplessly. It was the middle of the night, and instead of sleeping at home, Boss Dai had gone back to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.

However, this is also good, as it facilitates the subsequent actions and saves a lot of time.

I dialed the phone number for the Military Intelligence Bureau chief's office again.

At this moment, Boss Dai, who had returned to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters and was sitting in his office looking at the translation, put it down with a serious expression. Then he looked up at Shen Xing, who had also been called back from his bed in the middle of the night.

"Young Tiger said that Chen Guang, a member of the underground Communist Party, contacted him."

Shen Xing was startled and quickly asked:

"Director, does this mean that Chen Guang, the underground party member, has confirmed Young Tiger's identity?"

Boss Dai shook his head:

"Chenguang found the location of the dead mailbox and contacted Youhu through it."

Shen Xing was a little confused for a moment:
"Chief, what's going on? How did the location of Tiger Cub and Tiger Girl's dead mailbox get exposed?"

Boss Dai smiled and shook his head:

"To be precise, it was Lao Dan and Master Niu's dead mailbox that exposed the location."

"After all, Master Niu had dealt with Chen Guang before, and Chen Guang's position in the underground party was like that of our young tiger."

"Chenguang's abilities are beyond doubt, and it's not impossible for him to find the location of Lao Dan and Master Niu's dead mailbox."

Shen Xing opened his mouth, but could only smile helplessly in the end, then asked curiously:
"What does Chenguang want with Lao Dan? Like that joint operation at Sheshan? It can't be that Chenguang wants to defect to us, can it?"

Boss Dai laughed heartily:

"That's right, it's a joint operation. Chenguang approached Lao Dan this time because he planned to work with Lao Dan to steal the Female Ai Project from Citibank."

Shen Xing's lips curled slightly. The plan to steal the female Ai from Citibank!
"Director, has Young Tiger already located the location of Project Avery?"

Boss Dai nodded slightly:

"It's pretty close, and Chenguang from the underground party should have confirmed the location as well. Never mind, just take a look at the telegram Tiger Girl sent."

Shen Xing hurriedly took the telegram and read it carefully. After reading it, Shen Xing's eyes widened in surprise:
"Good heavens, that Xin is actually a member of the underground Communist Party. How did Young Tiger confirm his identity?"

"But this also makes sense, as it explains why the underground party was able to confirm the location of the Female Ai Project."

"Since we've secured this plan, I think we should give it a try."

Boss Dai nodded. After reading the telegram, Boss Dai had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to hear Shen Xing's opinion.

"A joint operation is indeed necessary. Since the last time Citibank's safe was robbed and millions of dollars disappeared, Citibank's security has become virtually impenetrable."

"Moreover, there are many eyes watching Young Tiger over there, making it difficult to retrieve the item without leaving a trace. I really wouldn't feel at ease if it were any other member of the underground party. However, if Chen Guang joins forces with Young Tiger, the two legendary agents might actually be able to retrieve the item from the impenetrable Citibank."

“I’ll also contact the Red Party about this. Their credibility is reliable. As long as they agree, we don’t need to worry about them not giving us a copy after we get the Women’s Ai Plan.”

Shen Xing said with a smile:

"Director, I really want to see Chenguang and Youhu join forces, but it's a pity I can't go to Shanghai in person."

"Do you think I don't want to? Forget it, let's contact Yan'an first."

Just as Shen Xing was about to agree, the phone on Boss Dai's desk rang.

Jingle Bell--

Mr. Dai answered the phone casually, and upon hearing the conductor's voice, he became serious:

"Okay, tell me your location, and don't make any rash moves!"

pat!

After hanging up the phone, Boss Dai slammed his fist on the table and stood up, then burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha!"

"Great! Great! Double happiness!"

"Director, what good news has come of it?"

Boss Dai looked at Shen Xing:

"Third brother, the conductor and Xiaoman have lived up to expectations and have found the pangolin's den. Tonight, we will wipe out this den in one fell swoop."

"In that case, even if we can't catch the pangolin, he won't amount to anything."

Shen Xing looked at Boss Dai with bright eyes:

"It is indeed a double celebration. I didn't expect the conductor to be so quick."

"Director, I'll mobilize manpower immediately. I'll contact Lao Liu personally."

Boss Dai nodded solemnly:
"Remember, tonight's operation must not leak out. You should know how to find people and who to involve in the operation."

"Please rest assured, Director!"

In the southwest of the mountain city, inside a cluster of houses arranged in a triangular formation.

After the ambulance stopped, Luo Dalin was lifted out of the vehicle.

Upon entering the brightly lit room, a doctor who was already prepared quickly stepped forward and gave Luo Dalin an injection.

Meanwhile, Song Rong, who had already left the phone booth, waited for a while before the first person to arrive was not the arrest team sent by Boss Dai, but Zhou Xiaoman and her investigation team.

"Sister Rong!"

Upon seeing Zhou Xiaoman and her group arrive, and noticing that the mole had been apprehended, Song Rong nodded at Zhou Xiaoman with admiration.

After leaving Ren'ai Hospital, Zhou Xiaoman immediately contacted the team members who had been in contact with Ren'ai Hospital.

Although she didn't see the problem with the ambulance, she wasn't stupid and immediately realized that the problem lay with the person who contacted the hospital.

Moreover, Zhou Xiaoman also found this place through trace analysis, using the same method as Song Rong.

It rained in the mountain city today, and although the tire tracks on the road were blurry, they were not entirely untraceable.

"found it?"

Zhou Xiaoman quickly stepped forward and excitedly asked Song Rong a question.

Seeing Song Rong nod, Zhou Xiaoman smiled. She naturally knew why Song Rong hadn't told her the situation immediately.

On the one hand, they suspected there was a problem within the group, and on the other hand, they wanted to confirm this suspicion.

Therefore, after finding Song Rong, Zhou Xiaoman did not ask why she had not communicated with her in a timely manner.

"I'm sorry, Sister Rong, I was too slow to react."

Song Rong raised his hand and patted Zhou Xiaoman on the shoulder:

"That's pretty good. It's normal that you lack experience. Just do more work in the future, and this kind of problem won't happen again. As that person's junior sister, and personally trained by Shen Xing, how could you be bad?"

Zhou Xiaoman smiled shyly.

Before long, Shen Xing and Lu Jianping arrived with their men.

After joining up with Song Rong's team, everyone charged towards the house.

Upon arriving near the house, Shen Xing and Lu Jianping both smiled at Zhou Xiaoman, and Song Rong understood their intentions upon seeing this.

"Xiaoman, you will be in charge of tonight's arrest operation."

For a moment, Zhou Xiaoman felt immense pressure, but she still gritted her teeth and accepted this heavy responsibility.

Zhou Xiaoman first arranged for people to block all possible escape routes for the enemy, then found out the location of the enemy's hidden sentries, and immediately ordered the elimination of both hidden and visible sentries.

Once all this work was completed, Zhou Xiaoman issued the final arrest order.

When Lu Mingwei and his team from the action department kicked open the door of a house with the lights on, Luo Dalin, who had been brought there, was already awake.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Kuomintang agents, the people in the room were thrown into chaos and immediately began to fight back.

The gunshots rang out for five or six minutes. When Zhou Xiaoman led Song Rong, Shen Xing, and Lu Jianping into the room, they saw corpses all over the floor. Song Rong's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at Lu Mingwei, who was leading the team.
