Chapter 347 Breaking Defense
"Suo Chao, take a few men to survey the surrounding terrain and mark all possible evacuation routes, especially those alleys and culverts that can avoid patrol teams."

"Hua Xiaonuan, you are responsible for developing a specific action plan. Make sure the action takes less than three minutes and is as quiet as possible. We only have one chance, and we must succeed."

Lü Tianting quickly made a decision and issued orders in an orderly manner.

After receiving the order, everyone quickly got to work.

With the connections he had built up over the years in the foreign concessions, Ma Kang quickly made contact with several informants.

He roamed every corner of the concession, from taverns to casinos, from opium dens to docks, leaving no place untouched as to potentially provide information.

After making some inquiries, he learned that HSBC's security shift change was at 2 a.m., when there were the fewest guards inside the bank. The emergency exit was located at the back of the bank building, with a hidden iron gate, which was usually guarded by a security guard.

Suo Chao, along with several agile brothers, took advantage of the darkness to arrive near HSBC Bank.

They wandered the streets like ghosts, carefully observing every inch of the terrain.

Suo Chao used the chalk he carried with him to mark the walls and utility poles, recording buildings that could be used as cover, alleys that were easy to escape through, and patrol routes that might be dangerous.

They discovered that there was a narrow alley next to the bank, which led to a main road. If they could get through the alley, they could quickly escape the scene.

Based on the information gathered by everyone, Hua Xiaonuan began to formulate an action plan.

She drew a layout of the bank on a piece of paper, marking all the key locations and possible scenarios.

She decided to take action at 2 a.m., taking advantage of the security shift change. Suo Chao would lead a group of people to sneak into the bank through the emergency exit and take control of the security guards; Na Xin and Ma Kang would be responsible for opening the safe and taking out the list; she and Lü Tianting would be outside to provide backup. Once they succeeded, everyone would quickly evacuate through the alley.

Time passed by, and finally it was two in the morning.

The members of Zhenxingqi Society began to act according to plan.

Suo Chao and his men stealthily made their way to the iron gate of the emergency exit. They easily dealt with the security guards and opened the gate.

Na Xin and Ma Kang rushed into the bank and found the safe.

The new guy used his best lock-picking skills, and after a short while, the safe clicked open.

They took out the list and, after confirming it was the "Female Ai Project," carefully put it into their pockets.

However, just as they were preparing to leave, an alarm suddenly went off in the bank.

Suddenly, the lights in the bank blazed on, and a group of heavily armed security personnel poured out from all directions.

Suo Chao and his men quickly engaged in a fierce battle with the security guards.

Hua Xiaonuan's heart skipped a beat when she heard the alarm outside. She and Lü Tianting immediately led the others into the bank.

Gunshots rang out in the bank, and shouts of killing were deafening.

Lu Tianting brandished the dagger in his hand, precisely reaping the lives of security guards one by one.

Hua Xiaonuan, with her agile skills, weaved through the crowd, looking for an opportunity to break through.

"President, something's not right. These people aren't bank security guards at all."

Lu Tianting naturally realized it too, but there was no turning back now.

It turns out that when the Zhenxingqi Society was devising its plan to rob HSBC, Daoya had already found Smith and informed him of the Zhenxingqi Society's operation.

Smith was naturally somewhat skeptical, but when he thought about how he, as governor, would be held responsible if HSBC were robbed, and how HSBC also had a portion of French shares, he was bound to face consequences if it were stolen.

So, with the mindset of "better safe than sorry," Smith mobilized the police force, and apart from a portion that secretly entered HSBC, the rest of them lay in ambush around HSBC.

Once the robbers actually appear, they can provide support as quickly as possible.

In a hotel not far from HSBC, Dao Ya opened the door and walked in. Looking at her sister and brother-in-law standing by the window, watching the lively scene at HSBC, Dao Ya gave a speechless pursed-lip expression.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you two are really too wicked. It's one thing to fool the Zhenxingqi Society with a fake list, but to tell Smith in advance that they were going to rob a bank? Are you afraid that they won't be completely wiped out?"

Zhao Xuan smiled without saying a word, while Dao Yan looked at him curiously.

"Honey, there's something I'm really curious about. How did you know when the Zhenxingqi Society would make their move, and even how clearly you understood their plan?"

Dao Ya looked up at the ceiling. It was time to lie for her brother-in-law again. Life was tough. Xiao Ya sighed.
"Sister, do you really think your brother-in-law is a fortune teller who can do anything? Of course, it's all thanks to your dear sister. I spent a lot of money in Qidong to find out about the action plan for revitalizing the flag society."

With Dao Ya's explanation, Zhao Xuan naturally nodded.

Having confirmed that Hua Xiaonuan was ultimately left near HSBC, Zhao Xuan released nanobugs to monitor her.

It can be said that the entire process of Zhenxingqishe formulating its action plan was under Zhao Xuan's surveillance, so how could Zhao Xuan not know the details of the other party's actions?

The French Concession police have now completely surrounded the Zhenxingqi Society, but Zhao Xuan knows that even under these circumstances, Smith cannot wipe out the Zhenxingqi Society.

However, it is certain that the Zhenxingqi Society has suffered a severe blow and will find it difficult to establish itself in the French Concession again.

"Alright, it's getting late, we should head back."

Leaving behind the nanobugs to continue monitoring the Zhenxingqi Society's movements, Zhao Xuan led Dao Yan and Dao Ya away from the French Concession.

The next morning, Zhao Xuan had just gotten up when Dao Yan had already prepared breakfast. Even Dao Ya, still half asleep, was lifted up by Dao Yan and was eating steamed buns at the table.

"Hey, Xiaoya, you're up pretty early today."

"Ah!"

Dao Ya rolled her eyes at Zhao Xuan listlessly. She had only gone to sleep at four in the morning last night, and it was only seven o'clock now, good heavens!
"Hurry up, I'll take Xiaoya out after breakfast. Doesn't Xiaoya want to practice driving? She can take me to work."

Upon hearing Dao Yan's words, Dao Ya no longer even had the chance to go back to sleep.

“Honey, we need to hold off on Lan Zehuizi for a while longer. It will probably take another three days. After three days, we can help her crack the Female Ai Plan.”

Yesterday, after obtaining the watch from Lü Tianting, they went to Citibank. After a brief inquiry, they found a Citibank executive and exchanged the two watches for the two safe deposit box keys that Fifteen had left with him years ago, successfully obtaining the "Female Ai Project" inside.

At that time, Lan Zehui was extremely excited and immediately took her things back to the Special Higher Police. Zhao Xuan was responsible for all the subsequent arrangements in the French Concession.

Aizawa Keiko was very reassured about this.

However, if you're trying to crack the female AI plan and successfully obtain the list, there's no way to do it without the right approach.

Moreover, after obtaining the two safe keys, the watch had already been handed over to the person in charge at Citibank.

Unless you can figure out the meaning of the moment when the watch hands stop, you can't decipher the codebook of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Don't worry."

Soon after, Dao Yan left with Dao Ya, while Zhao Xuan connected to the vision of the nanobugs used to monitor Hua Xiaonuan.

Seeing Hua Xiaonuan, Lü Tianting, Suo Chao, Ma Kang, Fu Dawei, and Na Xin hiding in a secret room in the sewers, their faces covered in dust, Zhao Xuan's lips curled up slightly.

Last night, the Zhenxingqi Society had as many as sixty people involved in the operation, but now only six remain. One can imagine how great the losses were for the Zhenxingqi Society.

All six men looked distressed. Xin, in particular, was beaten black and blue by Suo Chao and Ma Kang and lay on the floor for a long time, unable to get up.

However, it now appears that Xin is no longer in mortal danger.

"Why does the police know so much about our operation plan? All escape routes have been blocked. We just found out that Xin has been traveling with Ma Kang the whole time, and has been in Ma Kang's sight the entire time. So, who betrayed us?"

Lu Tianting hated this mole to death, but after a thorough investigation, he even ruled out Na Xin, who was the most suspicious person.

No one else has this possibility.

Fu Dawei looked at Lü Tianting with red-rimmed eyes:
"President, do you think it might be one of those elders?"

When Fu Dawei mentioned the elders, he was actually referring to Qidong.

This old guy is extremely greedy. If we're talking about who in the Zhenxingqi Society can be bribed, Qidong is definitely at the top of the list.

As soon as Fu Dawei finished speaking, Hua Xiaonuan, who was sitting in the armchair, shook her head and said:
"Qidong had no idea about our operation plan. Judging from how well the police station had set up the trap, the mole was among the six of us!"

Although Hua Xiaonuan said that, the self-examination just now has proven that no one had time to leak information during last night's operation. If we had to say who is the most suspicious,

Actually, it's not that new.
As Hua Xiaonuan's gaze fell on Suo Chao, the others also turned to look at him.

The burly Suo Chao panicked, clenching his fists in fury as he looked around:
You doubt me?!

Lu Tianting's face was grim, and he roared in a low voice:
“You were the only one acting alone. Although what you said during the self-examination was reasonable and well-founded, if the operation plan is leaked, you are the most suspicious!”

The man lying on the ground was speechless. Suo Chao was the most suspicious. Why the hell did you guys hit me?
"President, even you don't believe me? Xiao Nuan, you..."

Lu Tianting waved to Suo Chao, who snorted coldly but still walked over, for he had a clear conscience.

Just as he reached Lü Tianting, Suo Chao screamed, clutched his chest, took two steps back, and finally fell straight backward with wide eyes.

After Suo Chao fell, everyone could see clearly that there was a dagger stuck in his heart.

Lu Tianting remained completely calm, slowly stood up, and coldly said:
"What I hate most is a traitor!"

"Ma Kang, dispose of Suo Chao's body. Xiao Nuan, take Na Xin to get treatment. The rest of you, you should rest. Next, we need to take revenge on Dao Yan from the Special Higher Police and 76!"

After watching the whole thing, Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head.

Seeking revenge against Dao Yan?
Ha, you guys should just keep busy running around!

After quickly finishing his breakfast, Zhao Xuan put on his coat and went to the Special Higher Police Department.

"Advisor, you've finally arrived. The section chief told me to wait for you here and tell you that everyone is waiting in the technical department, so you can go directly to the technical department."

Zhao Xuan nodded, got out of the car, tossed the car keys to the junior agent waiting at the gate to park the car, and then walked towards the building near the Technical Section. Special Higher Police Technical Section.

Seeing Zhao Xuan arrive, Lan Zehui smiled despite having dark circles under her eyes:
"Ah Xuan, you've arrived."

Seeing that everyone's spirits weren't high, Zhao Xuan walked in with a furrowed brow:
"You didn't sleep all night?"

Yua Murakami nodded with a wry smile:
“Zhao Sang, we originally planned to crack the Nu Ai Project overnight, but we’ve been looking at it all night and still have no clue.”

"Mr. Zhao, you've come at the right time. Come and study this with us."

Zhao Xuan sighed, stepped forward, and handed several meat buns he had taken from home to Lan Zehuizi:
"Huizi, have something to eat and go rest. You all should also go rest. Let the intelligence department take over the shift. I'll take care of things here."

Lan Zehuizi happily accepted the breakfast Zhao Xuan brought, but she was reluctant to go and rest. Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Xuan glared at her.

Aizawa Keiko pouted, looking unwilling, but her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear the advisor tell us to go and rest? Now, everyone go and rest immediately, and have Kishimoto Osamu bring people over to relieve us."

As Aizawa Keiko gave the order, Murakami Yua stuck out her tongue at Zhao Xuan and led everyone out of the room.

Zhao Xuan looked at the table covered with densely packed drafts and was about to sit down to tidy up when he noticed that Lan Zehuizi hadn't left. He turned around and said irritably:

"Huizi, don't think you have special privileges just because you're the section chief. You should go back and rest too!"

Aizawa Keiko smiled sweetly, nodded repeatedly, turned around and left the room with light steps, showing no signs of having stayed up all night.

After everyone left, Zhao Xuan pretended to start working.

Inside the former government building on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

While eating breakfast, Tufeiyuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of milk:
"What did you say? Last night, the French Concession police clashed with the Zhenxingqi Society? The Zhenxingqi Society members have been driven out of the French Concession?"

Michiko Sakai was also somewhat incredulous, but she personally confirmed the news:

"Hi!"

"Teacher, the intelligence is accurate. Moreover, according to the intelligence I received, it is said that the police were able to ambush the bank because the Zhenxingqi Society robbed HSBC. As for the source of the information, we cannot find it."

"In addition, the Zhenxingqi Society suffered heavy losses this time. After fleeing the French Concession, they disappeared. I have sent Anu to lead a team to search for them, but there has been no news yet."

Tu Feiyuan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then stroked his chin in thought.

The more Tu Feiyuan thought about it, the more speechless he became.
"Has the Zhenxing Flag Society gone mad? What are they doing robbing HSBC?"

Michiko shook her head with a wry smile:

"Teacher, this is also what we are investigating."

Thinking back to the previous female AI project, Tu Feiyuan's face darkened:
"Michiko, do you think the female AV project related to the revitalization of the flag society might be held in HSBC?"

"That's possible, but teacher, since the things belong to them, they could just go and get them directly. Why would they rob a bank?"

Just as Michiko finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Michiko quickly turned around:
"Enter!"

crunch--

The door was pushed open, and Fukang from the logistics department walked in.

"Fu Sang, have you figured it out on your end?"

Fukang quickly bowed and answered with his head down:

"Yes, sir, Section Chief Sakai, we've found out. Yesterday at noon, the Shinsei Hata took two watches to HSBC. Afterwards, the two watches were taken by the Special Higher Police. This is the information I got from my people in the Special Higher Police."

Tu Feiyuan laughed after hearing this.

Aren't those guys from the Zhenxingqi Society supposed to be experts?
Two watches were stolen.

In retrospect, those two watches were likely some kind of token, related to the key to opening a safe.

"Who has the ability to snatch things from them? Yamayu Kazuo?"

With Yamayuu's skills, not that Tobi-Yuan looks down on him, Yamayuu probably couldn't even beat Nan Ting. In fact, Yamayuu wouldn't last two minutes against Nan Ting.

The most skilled fighter in the Special Higher Police was Yamayu Kazuo.

How could Yamayuki Kazuo possibly have snatched those two watches from the Shinsei Kisha?

Fukang bowed and continued:

"Besides knowing that the Special Higher Police obtained the two watches, it is unknown who stole them. The Special Higher Police did this very discreetly."

"However, the real identity of Shinichi Naji, who was previously detained in our original organization, is a member of the Shinsei Banner Society, named Shinichi Naji."

At that moment, Tu Feiyuan had an urge to beat Kurumizawa Masashi to death.

With such a big mole hiding right next to him, Hu Taoze was completely unaware.

No wonder Shinichi Naji followed Masashi Kurumizawa to the former agency in the end; it turns out he wanted to get the watch back from the Special Higher Police through the former agency.

That watch must contain the secret of the Female Ai Project; otherwise, how could the Special Higher Police be able to calculate the Zhenxingqi Society so precisely?
Now everything makes sense. This explains why Aizawa Keiko was so generous this time, giving him all the virus samples that Kurumizawa Masashi brought to do his job.

It turns out that Aizawa Keiko was after the female AI project.

Although it was a mutually beneficial deal, Doiyuu felt incredibly frustrated.

Admittedly, Aizawa Keiko was afraid that he would report to the cabinet, so she offered him the bait of cooperating with him to leave the virus samples and then transport them to the Sheshan Research Institute.

Even if Tu Feiyuan had known from the beginning, he would still have taken the bait, because the temptation was just too great.

Of course, if Tu Feiyuan knew that Aizawa Keiko was after the female Ai Project, he wouldn't have let Aizawa Keiko succeed so easily. The original organization would have tried to compete for it.

The current situation is that the most important things have been taken over by the Special Higher Police, and now even the Zhenxingqi Society has been driven out of the French Concession.

It couldn't be easier for the Special Higher Police to withdraw the "Female Ai Plan" from HSBC.

The thought of this made Tu Feiyuan's heart clench with pain.

Two enormous achievements are right in front of him, yet he can only claim credit for one undeveloped virus sample, whose potential is limited to the Female AIDS Project, and it's even unknown whether it can surpass it.

"Aizawa Keiko!! Baka!"

"No, we still have a chance. As long as we confirm that the items are in HSBC, we still have a chance to snatch them from the Special Higher Police, even if it's just a part of them."

Hearing the chubby guy muttering to himself, Fu Kang's lips twitched, and he said, cold sweat pouring down his face:

"Um, sir, it seems the Special Higher Police have obtained something. Last night, Aizawa Keiko gathered everyone in the technical section, and they worked overtime all night. My man there did some research, and although it was just fragmentary information, he was able to identify a few keywords: cracking, Project Ai, and a difficult problem."

"Bagaya road!"

Tu Feiyuan jumped up from the ground, utterly unable to accept this fact:

"Are those guys from the Zhenxingqi Society all idiots? Now it seems the Female Ai Project didn't even exist at HSBC! Yes, that's right, it must be Citibank!"

Michiko Sakai nodded:
"No wonder the Special Higher Police's Operations Division personnel kept heading towards the Bund; their target was Citibank."

This time, Doiyuu was truly on the defensive. He had previously thought that the Special Higher Police were just messing around, perhaps targeting some stronghold of the underground Communist Party or the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Who would have thought that the Special Higher Police would initially target the Women's Ai Project, which the Revitalization Banner Society had spent over a decade developing.

The enraged fat man glared at Fukang:
"Investigate! Investigate for me! I need to know every single detail of this Special Higher Police operation, every single one!"

After receiving the order, Fu Kang hurriedly left the attic. Meanwhile, Doiyuu was trembling. He didn't even dare to think about it, because if he did, he would associate the Special Higher Police with the Navy.

But damn it, how could the Navy possibly be involved with the Special Higher Police?

The whole thing started when the Navy delivered the items to the Special Higher Police, and then the Special Higher Police began a series of incomprehensible and bizarre actions. What made Doiyu Madoka the most upset was that they threw out a bait, and he happily took the bait, even finding Aizawa Keiko to be a nice person afterward.

As a result, he was completely outmaneuvered by that little wench, Aizawa Keiko.

This situation is something that Tu Feiyuan simply cannot accept.

The director's office at No. 76 Jisifeier Road, Shanghai.

Dao Yan sat on the sofa, sipping the tea that Ding Moqun had personally brewed, and smiled:

"Uncle, what brings you here to make me tea?"

Ding Moqun gave Dao Yan a disgruntled look:
"What, you've gotten so big for your britches after living away from home for a while, you even dare to tease your uncle now?"

After saying that, Ding Moqun also laughed:
"However, you've changed quite a bit lately. You used to be so serious, but now you're much better. Many people in our 76th unit are saying in private that the thousand-year-old iceberg has finally been melted by Ah Xuan."

Dao Yan's pretty face blushed:
"Uncle~"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Now tell me, what did you do yesterday?"

Dao Yan had already discussed this with Zhao Xuan, and they wouldn't hide it from Ding Moqun. Now that he asked, Dao Yan smiled and said directly:

"Yesterday, the Special Higher Police had an operation that I was tasked with assisting with."
