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

Chapter 345 Challenge
"Okay, Director, I'll go and reply to the conductor right now."

After Lu Jianping left, Boss Dai looked at Ye Biean:

"What about you?"

Ye Biean also grinned:

"I'm in my office right now. The telecommunications department received Tiger Girl's telegram, so I rushed over to deliver it to you, Director."

Previously, since Ye Biean was not around, Liu Mingyan was usually the one who delivered intelligence.

Upon hearing the name "Tiger Girl," Boss Dai and Shen Xing seemed to have a switch flipped, and the two immediately huddled together.

Ye Biean glanced at the telegram, left it behind, and quietly left the office.

When the telegram was translated, the two men stared at the translation with wide, wide eyes.

"What the hell? The Female Ai Project is already in hand?!"

"Not only did we get our hands on it, but Young Tiger even cracked the Female Ai Plan, and the list will be sent back soon."

"hiss--"

"How long has it been?"

Shen Xing gasped and looked at Boss Dai as he replied:

"I sent a telegram to Young Tiger late last night, and they replied this afternoon. Young Tiger's speed is incredible."

Boss Dai frowned. Although he was shocked that Young Tiger and Chen Guang of the underground party had completed the mission so quickly, he was also worried.

The underground party's dawn is just too damn strong!
Judging from the telegram, Young Tiger only provided Morning Light with the location of Project Nv Ai, and yet Morning Light stole Project Nv Ai in such a short time.

It's important to understand that Citibank is not what it used to be. Now, Citibank is impregnable, guarded by layers upon layers of military police.

This Chen Guang must be cheating, otherwise, how could he possibly retrieve the Female Ai Plan from the safe in such a heavily guarded Citibank?

Besides, do you think you can just go and get the safe if the underground party has the key?
"This Chenguang from the underground party is probably just as strong as the young tiger."

Shen Xing's expression also became serious:
"Tiger Girl's telegram said that Young Tiger didn't even meet with Chen Guang, but only left a piece of information for Chen Guang through the dead mailbox, and then the Female Ai Project was obtained. Is Chen Guang working at Citibank?"

“It’s not impossible, but Chen Guang shouldn’t be underestimated. Third brother, have Young Tiger keep an eye out and find out Chen Guang’s identity.”

Shen Xing nodded heavily. They had to investigate. Otherwise, if this guy had been infiltrated by the underground party, the problem would be even more serious than the pangolin and the Japanese spies.

After all, neither of them believed that the pangolin or the mysterious Japanese spy could match the abilities of Chen Guang.

"Alright, Director, I will contact Young Tiger personally right now. This Chen Guang must be found out."

The initial excitement about the female AIDS plan was completely ruined by the mysterious "Dawn" of the underground party.

Such a secretive and powerful opponent is giving Boss Dai a real headache.

Meanwhile, at the operations department, Song Rong had already mustered all the personnel.

Lu Mingwei watched as Song Rong led the two teams away, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

The documents left behind at the outpost did indeed contain intelligence about other smaller outposts. Lu Mingwei sensed that Song Rong was now leading men to wipe out those outposts.

Even if Lu Mingwei had guessed it, he wouldn't dare to do anything.

Even in the operations department, there were still six or seven pairs of eyes watching him. If he made any unusual moves, Lu Mingwei had no doubt that the people Song Rong had arranged to monitor him would take him down immediately.

After Song Rong and his men left, Lu Mingwei, sitting at his desk with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes, sighed.

It seems I've really been exposed.

But he couldn't move after that. He had to cover up the sand dunes and erase all traces of their contact. Otherwise, if the sand dunes were implicated, Lu Mingwei's wife and children would probably be killed by Wang Da in the next second.

Looking back on his life, Lu Mingwei could only smile bitterly. Why had he been so bewitched and boarded Wang Da's pirate ship?
Money? Women?
It seems he has everything he needs: a wife, children, a warm bed, and a simple life. Moreover, as an outstanding graduate of the third phase of special training, his future is bright.

In just a few short years since graduation, he has risen from a clerk in the action department to the position of section chief.

The next step is the deputy director of the operations department.

How exactly did I get so easily misled by Wang Da?

Lu Mingwei couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

In just one night, the intelligence network that Lu Mingwei and Sha Qiu had worked so hard to build over many years was wiped out by Song Rong's team.

Meanwhile, in the Red Party's base area.

Xia Gong stared at the telegram in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

The Morning Light team has succeeded, and the list of candidates for the Female Ai Project is on its way.

When Xia Gong received the telegram, he knew that Chen Guang had already obtained the list long ago, so why he went to the trouble of sending it to both the Military Intelligence Bureau and the base area at the same time.

Zhao Xuan's identity as a young tiger is very important. Xia Gong knows that there will inevitably be a battle between him and the Kuomintang. After that, the young tiger will have to go to the mountain city.

With more credit, Zhao Xuan's future path will be easier.

Moreover, with the KMT and the CCP now cooperating, it is indeed necessary to eliminate the members of the Revival Flag Society who have been lurking within the KMT.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Xia Gong looked out the window into the darkness.

A few minutes later, Xia Gong stood up with a serious expression:
"Little Gao!"

Gao Wanyou, who was guarding the courtyard, rushed over immediately:
"Lord Xia!"

"Call Liu Qinghuan over; there's a document that needs to be filed."

Watching Gao Wanyou jog out of the courtyard, he notified the two comrades guarding the gate to call Liu Qinghuan over.

Xia Gong looked at them with a deep gaze; it was time to resolve some matters.

Before long, Liu Qinghuan arrived at the courtyard.

After receiving the document bag from Xia Gong, Liu Qinghuan's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing the title on it, and she looked at Xia Gong in surprise.

"Go and archive the documents."

Liu Qinghuan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She nodded solemnly and left the courtyard.

Soon they arrived at the archives. Liu Qinghuan smiled as she looked at Huang Qian, who was still working overtime.

"Huang Qian, how are you doing? Are you settling in well here?"

With shoulder-length short hair, a sweet smile, and a hint of heroism between her brows, Huang Qian smiled and said:
"Great, I like this job. Qinghuan, you're still filing documents so late?"

Liu Qinghuan smiled and nodded. Just as she was handing the file bag to Huang Qian, Zhou Hao, dressed in a gray cloth coat, arrived.

Seeing this, Liu Qinghuan quickly put the document away, smiled, and greeted Zhou Hao:
"Zhou Hao, bringing Xiaoqian a midnight snack again?"

Zhou Hao gave a shy smile:

"Yes, after all, you've been working overtime until so late, Comrade Qinghuan. I didn't expect you guys to still be so busy so late."

Just now, Liu Qinghuan confirmed that Zhou Hao had seen the title on the file folder.

She now understood why Xia Gong had specifically chosen this time to have her deliver the documents for filing.

"Zhou Hao, wait a moment, I need to get back to work."

Huang Qian smiled at Zhou Hao, took the documents from Liu Qinghuan, and got up to walk towards the small door not far away.

"Qianqian, I've left your midnight snack here. Don't work too late, I'm going back now."

Huang Qian turned around, feeling somewhat annoyed, and was about to speak when she discovered that Zhou Hao had actually turned and left.

With a helpless sigh, Huang Qian opened the small door and went inside carrying the file bag.

Liu Qinghuan watched this unfold, her gaze shifting to the direction Zhou Hao had gone, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

"Huang Qian, I'll be going now."

After leaving those words, Liu Qinghuan quickly left and returned to the intelligence room.

After entering, Liu Qinghuan sat down next to Zhu Zhili, who was still organizing intelligence:

“Zhili, you mentioned that when you were a guest at Huang Qian’s house, you found a stamp. After you left, you told me that only two of those stamps were issued that year, and you never expected that Huang Qian’s house would have one.”

Zhu Zhili put down the documents in her hand, nodded slightly, and looked at Liu Qinghuan:

"Yes, there is such a thing. What's wrong?"

Liu Qinghuan took a deep breath:

“I know Huang Qian. She’s always been in the base area. There’s no way she could have gotten those stamps. The only way they could have appeared in her house is with Zhou Hao.”

"Zhou Hao had been lying low in the north and had no chance to get his hands on the stamp. Although he went to Shanghai later, by then, even if such a stamp still existed, it would be in the hands of a collector and would not be given to Zhou Hao."

Zhu Zhili narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Qinghuan, are you saying that Zhou Hao's identity is questionable?"

Zhu Zhili had only recently joined the Communist Party, so even though she suspected the origin of the stamp in Huang Qian's home, she didn't say anything.

Now that Liu Qinghuan has found her and solemnly pointed this out, Zhu Zhili naturally guessed it.

"I don't know either, but just now, Xia Gong asked me to deliver a document to the archives for filing. That document was quite interesting. When I got there, I actually ran into Zhou Hao delivering a late-night snack to Huang Qian. That's when I realized that Xia Gong must have timed it perfectly to send me to deliver the document. I suspect that Xia Gong deliberately let Zhou Hao see the title on the document bag. Otherwise, the title on the document bag wouldn't have been so eye-catching this time."

Zhu Zhili nodded:
"Let's not speculate on what Lord Xia is thinking."

"But I do know a little about that stamp."

"It is said that the stamp was collected by a remnant of the Manchurian regime back then, and he had both of them. Logically speaking, the stamp should not be in Huang Qian's house."

Liu Qinghuan's expression turned serious:
"Old man, those people from the Zhenxingqi Society?"

Seeing Zhu Zhili nod, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Liu Qinghuan's eyes:
"Could it be that Zhou Hao's true identity is a member of the Zhenxingqi Society?"

Zhu Zhili smiled and shook her head: "I don't know about that, but I'm sure Lord Xia has his own reasons."

Just as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhili suddenly stood up, which startled Liu Qinghuan.

"Zhili, what are you doing?"

Zhu Zhili looked at Liu Qinghuan with some nervousness and asked:
"Qinghuan, you just said that Zhou Hao saw the title on the file folder. Is Huang Qian the only person in the archives right now?"

"Oops!"

Liu Qinghuan also quickly got up. The two exchanged a glance and then rushed out the door, running towards the archives.

The archives are extremely important; how could Huang Qian be the only one guarding them?

Liu Qinghuan hadn't paid much attention to the unusual situation tonight, after all, it was their base, what could possibly happen?

But now, both of them realize that the strange situation in the archives was probably orchestrated by Xia Gong.

When the two arrived, the archives room door was wide open. They quickly entered and saw a midnight snack scattered all over the floor, Huang Qian lying unconscious on the desk, and the small door to the archives room was open. Liu Qinghuan immediately went forward to check on Huang Qian's condition.

"Zhili, quickly call the medical team!"

Meanwhile, in the small courtyard where Xia Gong lived, Gao Wanyou stood at the window and said:
"Lord Xia, he did indeed make a move. The men I arranged followed him all the way. When he attacked Comrade Huang Qian, our men passed by the door. Comrade Huang Qian was only knocked unconscious."

"Later, Zhou Hao came out of the archives with his clothes bulging, so he must have gotten the items."

"Xiao Wu and the others should be back in less than half an hour."

Xia Gong nodded slightly:

"Where's Xiaoliu?"

Gao Wanyou smiled and said:

"After delivering the documents, she went to the intelligence office, and later she and Comrade Zhu Zhili rushed to the archives. Huang Qian had already been sent to the medical team by them."

Upon hearing this, Xia Gong stood up, glanced at his watch, and smiled:
"Notify Lao Qian that the plan can be carried out."

Inside the medical room, Huang Qian slowly opened her eyes. Smelling the disinfectant, she felt a dull pain in the back of her neck and couldn't help but frown.

Then, as if remembering something, Huang Qian suddenly sat up:
"Someone come quickly!"

Just after she finished shouting, Huang Qian noticed Liu Qinghuan and Zhu Zhili standing beside her hospital bed.

Instantly, Huang Qian burst into tears and said:
"Qinghuan, Zhili, quickly inform Director Qian that Zhou Hao is a traitor!"

Liu Qinghuan quickly comforted Huang Qian, then calmly said:
"Don't worry, Qianqian, Zhou Hao has been brought back."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qian lowered her head, clutched her hair, and cried uncontrollably.

Zhou Hao was her fiancé, and they were supposed to get married this year, but unexpectedly, Zhou Hao had already betrayed his faith.

This was something Huang Qian found hard to accept at first.

Liu Qinghuan sighed, and Zhu Zhili, standing to the side, said expressionlessly:

"Huang Qian, Director Qian is waiting for you. If you feel alright, come with me to see Director Qian as soon as possible."

After calming down for a while, Huang Qian wiped away her tears and nodded stubbornly.

All she wants to know now is why Zhou Hao betrayed the organization and their relationship.

Soon after, Huang Qian followed Zhu Zhili and Liu Qinghuan to the intelligence room.

Qian Hanmin, the director of the intelligence office, was indeed already waiting there.

Upon seeing Huang Qian arrive, Qian Hanmin poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit down before saying:
"Comrade Huang Qian, it is with great regret that Zhou Hao has betrayed his faith."

"Furthermore, we have been investigating Zhou Hao's identity since the day he returned. To put it bluntly, we have never believed him."

Huang Qian forced back her tears and nodded at Qian Hanmin:
"Director Qian, could you let me meet Zhou Hao? I want to ask him myself!"

Qian Hanmin nodded, because the next plan required Huang Qian.

Soon, Huang Qian was taken to the detention room. Looking at Zhou Hao, who was bound to an iron chair, Huang Qian's eyes flashed with anger. After sitting down with Qian Hanmin, Zhu Zhili and Liu Qinghuan also found a place to sit down.

Zhou Hao looked at Qian Hanmin and the others with a somewhat crazed expression:
"Hehehe, so this was all a setup by you. Huang Qian, you actually conspired with outsiders to set me up, you bitch!"

Huang Qian's last shred of affection for Zhou Hao vanished.

Qian Hanmin looked at Zhou Hao with a mocking gaze. This guy's skills are really good. Xiao Wu and the others injured several people in their attempt to capture Zhou Hao.

"Now that you've met the person, let's clarify some things right here."

Huang Qian withdrew her gaze from Zhou Hao and nodded firmly.
"Director Qian, is there any task you need to assign me?"

Qian Hanmin smiled with satisfaction.

When He Xia Gong devised this plan, the reason he recommended Huang Qian was not only because Huang Qian was Zhou Hao's fiancée, but more importantly, because Huang Qian was very smart.

The reason why Zhou Hao didn't dare to make any moves after arriving at the base was because of Huang Qian.

This time, if it weren't for using a bait that Zhou Hao simply couldn't refuse to lure him in, this kid would probably have continued to lie low.

Qian Hanmin was about to show Zhou Hao in front of him that all his movements had been under their surveillance, thus completely destroying Zhou Hao's confidence.

Zhu Zhili and Liu Qinghuan exchanged a glance, and sure enough, the organization had assigned Huang Qian an important task.

"Huang Qian, after all this time getting to know him, I believe you've confirmed that this person is indeed Zhou Hao, right?"

Huang Qian nodded. It was because she had confirmed this that she lowered her guard against Zhou Hao and actually started talking to him about marriage.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hao had already betrayed them.

"In fact, Zhou Hao has always been a member of Zhenxingqi Society. After he came to the base area, Comrade Chenguang investigated him."

Upon hearing the code name "Chenguang," Zhu Zhili and Liu Qinghuan were startled.

Liu Qinghuan knew Chen Guang's true identity, while Zhu Zhili was rescued from Shanghai by Chen Guang.

Therefore, both of them have different feelings for Chenguang, but of course, these feelings are unrelated to romantic love.

This wasn't the first time Huang Qian had heard of the code name Chenguang. Since entering the archives, most of the documents that Xia Gong sent for filing were related to Chenguang.

Therefore, Huang Qian not only admired Chenguang, but also wanted to see Chenguang in person.

After all, he was a legendary figure, and everyone in this line of work admired Chenguang.

Seeing that everyone was listening with great interest, including Zhou Hao, who, despite being a prisoner and looking irritable, still listened silently.

He also wanted to know how much the famous Chenguang had found out about him, and when he had been exposed.

When Qian Hanmin mentioned his identity as Zhenxingqishe, he was shocked. They actually knew about such a secret identity, which meant that Chenguang probably found out quite a lot.

"According to Chenguang's investigation, Zhou Hao's twin brother is dead, but Tu Feiyuan, who sent him to infiltrate our base, is unaware of this."

"Even now, Tu Feiyuan still thinks that Zhou Hao is the twin brother who works at the police station."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao's expression turned somewhat terrified. He hadn't expected that Chenguang would actually find out about this level.

Then, Qian Hanmin's eyes sharpened, and his tone was filled with grief, indignation, and hatred:
“Zhou Hao not only killed his own brother, but also brutally murdered his comrades who were with him at the time.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao chuckled, while Liu Qinghuan and Zhu Zhili clenched their fists.

Huang Qian felt as if she had been struck a heavy blow, and she was so angry that she stopped breathing for several seconds.

The man she was talking to about marriage actually had a blood feud with her!
After taking several deep breaths, Huang Qian looked at Qian Hanmin and asked:
"Director Qian, what is my task?"

Qian Hanmin slowly exhaled, and after calming down, he said:

"Don't rush, let me explain things to you first."

"Comrade Huang Qian, do you still remember that stamp in your house?"

Seeing Huang Qian nod, Qian Hanmin continued:
"Comrade Zhu Zhili has already told me about that stamp. When I heard about it, I started to investigate from that point of view. Sure enough, our comrades confirmed the source of that stamp, which was collected by Lu Tianting, the chairman of Zhenxingqi Society."

"So, Zhou Hao's true identity is a member of the Zhenxingqi Society. He was sent by Lü Tianting to infiltrate our ranks."

Zhou Hao's smile had vanished, while Qian Hanmin's voice continued to ring out.

"As for the Zhenxingqi Society, Chenguang has already started to take action. Before long, they will be forced out of the French Concession and will not amount to anything."

Zhou Hao stared wide-eyed at Qian Hanmin in disbelief.

He knew how powerful the members of the Zhenxingqi Society were, but in Qian Hanmin's words, they were like small fry that could be wiped out at will.
Moreover, as long as Zhenxingqi Society is in the French Concession, even if Chenguang is very capable, how could he possibly threaten Zhenxingqi Society?
Zhou Hao felt that Qian Hanmin was bluffing him.

Qian Hanmin glanced at Zhou Hao but didn't seem to care, and continued:

"Now we plan to use Zhou Hao's two identities to send you to Shanghai, where you will infiltrate the original organization on one hand, and make contact with the remaining forces of the Zhenxingqi Society on the other."

"So you need to complete two tasks. One is to find the list of members of the Manchurian Youth League from within the original organization. You just need to confirm where the list is. Of course, if possible, get the list."

"The second task is to contact the Zhenxingqi Society and find out the location of the national treasures they have hidden."

After the Zhenxingqi Society group traveled south from the north, they also took a large number of Chinese cultural relics with them, each of which can be considered a national treasure.

Zhou Hao is numb now, so why does Qian Hanmin know so much about him?
He had only heard about those national treasures; he had never actually seen them.

What Qian Hanmin said next drove Zhou Hao completely insane.

"Your identity in Shanghai is Zhou Hao's fiancée. Don't worry, your work here is strictly confidential. The outside world has no idea what you're doing here and just thinks you're a primary school teacher."

"You went to Shanghai to deliver intelligence that Zhou Hao couldn't send out. You are his fiancée, and both your status and the region you are in naturally make you the best candidate to complete this mission."

"Of course, before heading to Shanghai, I will have Zhu Zhili give you special training."
