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

Chapter 348 Remnants
As Dao Yan continued her story, Ding Moqun's smile gradually froze.

What a brilliant strategy of undermining the enemy's strength, taking advantage of the chaos, and feinting to the east while attacking in the west!
"So, the Special Higher Police have already obtained the Female Ai Project?"

Dao Yan put down her teacup, gently rubbing her fingers against the cup to feel its warmth.

“It was obtained very easily. Not only that, the Zhenxingqi Society has been driven out of the French Concession.”

Ding Moqun was at a loss for words.

He initially thought it would be too difficult to snatch the female Ai project from the Zhenxingqi Society, so he did a favor for the Special Higher Police.

As a result, the Special Higher Police took action—no, it should be said that the plan was devised by Zhao Xuan. With Zhao Xuan's intervention, he not only easily obtained the Female Ai Plan, but also crippled the Zhenxingqi Society.

Thinking of this, Ding Moqun felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe.

If he had known that the people in Zhenxingqi Society were so incompetent, he would have at least joined in.

What Ding Moqun found even more unacceptable was that the intelligence about Project Ai was transmitted back by Pangolin at great risk.

After that incident, the pangolin completely lost contact with him.

To date, Ding Moqun has not received any information as to whether the pangolin has been exposed.
"call--"

Letting out a long sigh, Ding Moqun shook his head and chuckled:

"Well, it's good that you got it. But Xiao Dao, the Zhenxingqi Society was only crippled. You'd better be careful from now on, since you were the one who took the item from them."

Dao Yan nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, Uncle, I'll be careful. Besides, Ah Xuan doesn't intend to let the Zhenxingqi Society off so easily. Now that they've left the French Concession, let's wait and see. I'm sure Ah Xuan will definitely give them a good beating when they're down!"

How could Zhao Xuan put himself in danger? Although Dao Yan didn't know how Zhao Xuan had grasped the movements of Zhenxingqi Society, she was certain that it wasn't as Xiao Ya had said.

Previously, Dao Yan didn't know Xiao Ya and Zhao Xuan's identities, but now that she does, she generally only believes half of what her younger sister says.

Zhao Xuan must have some special channel to track down the Zhenxingqi Society. Next, Dao Yan has a premonition that the Special Higher Police will take action. Those who broke out of the Zhenxingqi Society can only eke out a living in the sewers of Shanghai.

Dao Yan guessed correctly, but Zhao Xuan had another consideration at this moment.

It's certain that we can control Zhenxingqi Society, but we still need to save it; we can't just kill it off all at once.

As one of their own, Zhao Xuan felt somewhat guilty about Xin's self-inflicted suffering.

Therefore, in addition to resolving the issue of the participation of the revitalized banner society, it is also necessary to let that newcomer escape.

Second floor of the Special Higher Police Technical Section.

Kishimoto Osamu and his intelligence team had been studying the project all morning, but they couldn't figure out anything from the female Ai project.

Seeing Zhao Xuan leisurely drinking tea, Kishimoto Osamu was furious:

"Zhao Sang, the section chief asked you to help us crack the Female Ai Project, and this is how you help?"

Zhao Xuan put down his teacup and the newspaper in his hand, looked at Kishimoto Osamu, and smiled:

"Kishimoto-kun, please don't get the cause and effect wrong. It was the section chief who asked the intelligence department to help me crack the Female Ai Project."

At this point, Zhao Xuan glanced at the wall clock:

"It's almost time. Let's have lunch, take a break, and come back later. If you'd like to continue working overtime, I have no objection."

Watching Zhao Xuan swagger away like that, Kishimoto Osamu's fists clenched.

However, it cannot be denied that when Lan Zehui sent someone to inform them, she did indeed say that the intelligence department should assist Zhao Xuan in cracking the female Ai plan.

After leaving the technical department, Zhao Xuan ran into Yamao Kazuo as soon as he arrived at the cafeteria.

"Yamao-kun!"

"Hey, Zhao-san, how's the progress?"

Zhao Xuan got his food at the window, walked to Yamayu Kazuo's table, sat down, and sighed.
"It's not that easy to crack."

"But Mr. Shan Xiong, wouldn't capturing the people of Zhenxingqi Society count as a merit?"

Yamayuu Kazuo's eyes lit up:
“Yes, of course we do! They’re a bunch of ticking time bombs. Once they leave the French Concession, they’ll definitely retaliate against us. If we can take care of them before they’re gone, that’ll definitely be a merit.”

"What, Zhao Sang, do you have news about them?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head:

"I don't have it, but Xiaoya does!"

"Miss Xiaoya? Oh my, I almost forgot. The reason this operation went so smoothly is all thanks to the intelligence Miss Xiaoya obtained. Zhao Sang, please make sure Miss Xiaoya helps me this once."

Zhao Xuan ate the rice covered with braised pork and replied with a smile:

"Sure, come with me after you finish eating."

Yamayu Kazuo nodded quickly, but still asked one question:
"Zhao Sang, I'm naturally happy to help you, but what about the technical department?"

Zhao Xuan said as he ate:
"We don't even have a clue how to crack it right now. Going out is just to clear our heads. Maybe a flash of inspiration will come and we'll find the key to cracking it."

“Zhao Sang is right. Let’s have dinner quickly, and I’ll gather the men and then we’ll set off!”

After lunch, while Yamayu Kazuo went to gather his subordinates, Zhao Xuan contacted Dao Ya, who was lying at home.

Business has recently gotten back on track, and partners have become more stable, so Daoya no longer needs to go around looking for buyers like before.

Today, I finally managed to relax at home, but when the phone rang and I heard Edith's voice, Dao Ya knew that her time to relax had come.

About fifteen minutes after hanging up the phone, Zhao Xuan arrived with Yamao Kazuo.

"Miss Xiaoya, I was short on time and didn't have time to bring any nice gifts. These are chocolates from Lao Mei that I asked someone to get for me. Please don't find them too cheap."

Daoya's eyes lit up as she snatched the box that Yamayu Kazuo had brought, and she said with a giggle:

"Thank you, Uncle Shanxiong."

Yamayu Kazuo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Toya was a little foodie, so catering to her tastes was definitely the right thing to do.

"Alright, Xiaoya, I brought Shanxiong-kun here today to discuss something with you. Let's go to the living room to talk."

Dao Ya nodded curiously and skipped and hopped towards the living room.

After the three of them sat down, Dao Ya had already opened the packaging box, eating the chocolate while looking at Zhao Xuan and Yamayukazu:
"Brother-in-law, Uncle Shanxiong, what do you want to see me about? Just tell me!"

Yamayu Kazuo quickly looked at Zhao Xuan, who looked at Dao Ya with doting eyes and smiled:
"You have connections, right? We came here to ask if you could help us find out where those escaped members of the Zhenxingqi Society are?"

Daoya blinked, got up, and ran towards her bedroom.

Yamayu Kazuo looked somewhat confused:
"Zhao Sang, what brings Miss Xiaoya here?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan shake his head, Yamayu Kazuo waited patiently.

A short while later, Dao Ya ran out with a map.

On the coffee table in the living room, Dao Ya spread out a map and said:

"You've come to the right person."

“I spent a lot of money when I traded with Qidong last time, so it’s impossible that I only got that little bit of information.”

When Yamayuki Kazuo heard this, his eyes lit up. He saw Daoya mark a point on the map, and Zhao Xuan and Yamayuki Kazuo looked at it carefully.

“Look, this is the Zhenxingqi Society’s hidden stronghold outside the concession. Qidong told me about three places like this.”

At this point, Dao Ya winked playfully at Zhao Xuan and Yamayu Kazuo.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan pretended to be speechless:
"Three strongholds? Then mark only one for us!"

Dao Ya crossed her arms and said with a displeased expression:

"I only marked it for you because of Uncle Shanxiong."

"Hehe, you're only doing this because of the chocolate, right?"

Seeing that Dao Ya was silent, Yamayu Kazuo quickly stopped Zhao Xuan:
“Zhao Sang, I was indeed unprepared today. Miss Xiaoya, here’s what you do: give me the remaining two marks. What kind of delicious food do you want? I’ll get it for you no matter what after this operation is over.”

"Xiaoya, hurry up and mark it, don't push your luck, I'm telling you."

Before Dao Ya could speak, Yamayu Kazuo quickly stopped Zhao Xuan:
"Zhao Sang, Xiao Ya just wanted to get something nice to eat. What did she do wrong? Don't talk to Miss Xiao Ya like that!"

Zhao Xuan's lips twitched, and he snorted coldly before shutting his mouth.

Daoya was almost bursting into laughter. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Yamayuu Kazuo:
"Uncle Shanxiong, you're so good to me, unlike my brother-in-law, who never gives me any benefits and only tries to take advantage of me!"

Yamayu Kazuo burst into laughter:
“Miss Xiaoya, I also have a younger sister. My sister is about the same age as you. Zhao Sang was only trying to help me, so please don’t blame me, Miss Xiaoya.”

"How about this, after this operation is over, I'll bring you some unique seafood and some chocolate. What do you think?"

Daoya immediately resumed her smile:
"Thank you, Uncle Shanxiong."

After saying that, Dao Ya marked the other two strongholds on the map.

Looking at the three strongholds that were far apart, Yamayu Kazuo hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan sent Dao Ya back to her room, then turned to Yamao Kazuo and said:
"Not sure where to start?"

Yamayu Kazuo nodded solemnly:
"Opportunity knocks but once. If we alert them, we won't have such a good chance next time."

"Then let's take a three-pronged approach and agree on a time to act together."

Yamayu Kazuo took a deep breath, wanting to agree, but then he thought of the Zhenxing Qishe gang, who had been surrounded at HSBC but still managed to break through.

This made Yamayu Kazuo uneasy; if he divided his forces, he feared he might not be able to achieve complete success.

“Yamao-kun, these three strongholds are definitely occupied. No matter which one we destroy first, we will likely find out about the other two.”

"Moreover, these strongholds are all located in the sewers, and you should be familiar with the sewers of Shanghai."

"It's a complex and complicated situation, and it's basically impossible to achieve complete success. Our operation this time is for only one purpose: to force these rats out of the sewers so that they can no longer hide in the sewers."

“Once they leave the sewers, this group is no longer a threat.”

Thinking about the troubles he had suffered in the sewers, Yamayu Kazuo almost had a stress reaction.

After listening to Zhao Xuan's words, Yamayu Kazuo also made up his mind:
"Zhao Sang, you're right. Then let's split into three groups and attack together." "Zhao Sang, which stronghold do you choose?"

"Yamao-kun, you choose first, I'm fine with going anywhere."

“Okay, that’s settled then. I’ll have Koizumi lead the team to Zhoushan Road and Shanyin Road from my base on Fuzhou Road. Zhao-san, I’ll trouble you to lead the team there personally.”

Meanwhile, in the office of the head of the Special Higher Police.

Kishimoto Osamu couldn't stand it any longer and went directly to Aizawa Keiko.

Just woke up, Aizawa Keiko from the Special Higher Police Department still felt dizzy. Kishimoto Osamu started badmouthing Zhao Xuan in front of her, which made Aizawa Keiko even more annoyed and gave her a headache.

“Section Chief, if this is the consultant’s attitude towards work, then he shouldn’t be involved in cracking the Nu Ai Project. Besides, the Nu Ai Project is of great importance and shouldn’t involve a Chinese person.”

Aizawa Keiko narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze towards Kishimoto Osamu already flashing with a fierce light.

Kishimoto Osamu realized this, but still forced himself to say:

"Section Chief, the consultant is completely slacking off. This morning, when our intelligence team arrived, the consultant hadn't even opened the file folder."

"After we arrived, he dumped all the work on us. If he just wanted to follow behind us and get some credit, then I think it's completely unnecessary!"

"Please order the consultants to cease involvement in the work to crack the Female Ai Project!"

Aizawa Keiko asked with a furrowed brow:
"What did you say? When you arrived, Ah Xuan didn't even open the file folder?"

Kishimoto Osamu was secretly pleased and quickly nodded:

"Hey! That's right. His slacking off is seriously affecting our work progress!"

Aizawa Keiko sighed, waved her hand, and said:
"Alright, I understand. I'll handle this. You guys hurry up and crack the Female Ai Plan."

After Kishimoto Osamu left, Aizawa Keiko stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, she muttered to herself:
"Are they still trying to avoid suspicion? Sigh, it seems I was too hasty."

On the other side, Zhao Xuan, who was leading the team to Shanyin Road, sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, resting.

It must be said that Daoya has a great talent for psychology, and has almost completely mastered the conductor's psychological skills.

When assigning tasks, Yamayu was clearly influenced by the circles that Toya had drawn on the map, and assigned the least likely location to Zhao Xuan.

And this location is precisely where the remaining members of the Zhenxingqi Society are hiding.

With nanobugs monitoring the area, Zhao Xuan can keep track of what the Zhenxingqi Society people are doing at any time.
The three locations circled by Dao Ya were all strongholds left by the Zhenxingqi Society outside the concession.

(Edith, give Hua Xiaonuan a call. We can't deal with all of Zhenxingqi Society's people for now.)
Soon, Zhao Xuan led his team to a sewer entrance on Shanyin Road.

Following Zhao Xuan's instructions, the agents from the Action Section began entering the sewers.

Zhao Xuan, on the other hand, stayed outside with the remaining seven agents.

At this moment, in the sewer chamber, Hua Xiaonuan was sitting at the stone table in a daze when the phone suddenly rang, startling her.

"Hey?"

"who are you?"

The other party did not answer Hua Xiaonuan's question. After hearing the dial tone, Hua Xiaonuan put down the phone and quickly got up and left her secret room.

Bang Bang!

Next to Hua Xiaonuan's secret room was Lü Tianting's secret room. Hearing the knocking, Lü Tianting quickly opened the door. Seeing that it was Hua Xiaonuan, he wanted to ask her something, but Hua Xiaonuan didn't give him a chance to speak:

"President, we've been exposed! We must evacuate immediately!"

"Who told you that? Where did you get that information from?"

Hua Xiaonuan shook her head:
"I don't know who it is, but the fact that she was able to call here proves that we've been exposed. Chairman, let's get out of here!"

After staring at Hua Xiaonuan for a few seconds, Lü Tianting immediately ordered everyone to evacuate.

Zhao Xuan, who was standing near a sewer manhole, lit a cigarette and connected to the vision of the nanobugs to watch the escape route of Hua Xiaonuan and her group.

"[Japanese] Be on guard! If anyone pops out of that manhole cover, open fire and suppress the enemy!"

"Hi!"

The seven agents following Zhao Xuan bowed and accepted the order, their guns pointed at the manhole cover with focused attention.

A few minutes later, the manhole cover was indeed pried open, and the seven agents immediately became excited.

As the man peeked out, seven bullets were fired at once.

Inside the sewer, before Hua Xiaonuan and the others could react, Ma Kang, who had just climbed up, fell down, shot twice in the head, and was dead beyond any doubt.

"Get out!"

Lu Tianting stared at this scene with bloodshot eyes, and hurriedly ordered his men to rush in another direction.

On the ground, Zhao Xuan saw that the seven agents still wanted to chase after them, and quickly stopped them:
"Baka! Are you idiots? Come with me!"

Zhao Xuan slapped each of them and led them on to continue in another direction.

Before long, Zhao Xuan and his men arrived at another sewer manhole.

This time, Hua Xiaonuan and the others were smarter; they didn't pop their heads out immediately after prying open the manhole cover.

With the vision of the nanobugs, Zhao Xuan naturally knew what they were discussing.

At Zhao Xuan's signal, an agent stepped forward and threw a grenade directly into the opened manhole cover.

Soon, a commotion arose in the sewers, followed by the sound of grenades exploding.

Boom——

After the explosion, Zhao Xuan nodded and ordered his agents to enter the sewers to pursue the pursuers.

The grenade killed Fu Dawei instantly.

The remaining three, Na Xin, Hua Xiaonuan, and Lü Tianting, were pale-faced and exhausted from running around.

The pruned branches have been cleared away, and Zhao Xuan did not go so far as to kill them all, since next time, it would probably be Xin who dies.

Having barely survived by diving into the sewage in the sewers, Hua Xiaonuan and her two companions were soaking wet. As they ran, their breathing grew heavier and heavier. It took them two hours of frantic running to finally reach a safe place.

In the southern part of Shanghai, in the area with the most sewage, Hua Xiaonuan and her two companions emerged from the stinking sewers and collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

Besides the tension and fear of escaping, the stench of the sewers also constantly tormented the three men's physical and mental well-being.

After breathing in the fresh air and calming down for a few minutes, Hua Xiaonuan lowered her head with a cold expression.

Lu Tianting's eyes were bloodshot. He vowed to repay the humiliation he had suffered today tenfold or a hundredfold.

"Is it the Special Higher Police?"

Hua Xiaonuan slowly raised her head to look at Lü Tianting:

"Judging from the equipment configuration, it is indeed the Special Higher Police."

"But I just can't understand how those scum from the Special Higher Police could be so cunning. We've tried to figure it out several times, but we've been blocked. Ma Kang and Dawei are dead too."

Yesterday, Zhenxingqi Society was thriving, but today, only these three young people remain in the society.

Of the seventy elite members of the Zhenxingqi Society, only three remain. Hua Xiaonuan's heart sank to the bottom.

This time, we were outmaneuvered terribly.

Not only did they fail to achieve the female AIDS plan, but the revitalization of the flag society was also crippled, and now it is on the verge of extinction.

Na Xin is also very frustrated. The Zhenxingqi Society was originally such a powerful force. He was infiltrating it. In addition to obtaining the Nv Ai Project, another task was to find out the whereabouts of the large number of national treasures that the people of the Zhenxingqi Society took away from Beiping.

Now, Na Xin doesn't know if the female AIDS plan has been obtained by the organization's comrades. Even if it hasn't, there's nothing Na Xin can do.

After all, Zhenxingqi Society has become such a mess, so what's the point of Xin continuing to lie low?
Have we found the whereabouts of those national treasures?

Na Xin didn't think that Lü Tianting and Hua Xiaonuan would know where those national treasures were.

Another point is that Na Xin felt that Zhenxingqi Society was too dangerous. Apart from a few individuals, Na Xin even believed that the rest were all enemy spies.

Otherwise, it's impossible that they only moved here last night, and the Special Higher Police have already infiltrated the area today.

To say that there was no mole within the Zhenxingqi Society would be something Xin would never believe, even if he were beaten to death.

He spat, which disgusted Na Xin, even making him feel utterly nauseous. His saliva, mixed with the stench of sewage, mingled with the smell of sewer water. Na Xin then looked at Lü Tianting, who was slowly standing up.
"President, now you should believe me, right?"

Lu Tianting didn't speak, and Hua Xiaonuan reached out and helped the new man up:
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's find a place to stay first."

On a rooftop about 400 meters away from the three, Chen Manli observed their situation while holding a sniper rifle.

Beside Chen Manli, He Wanjun put down her binoculars and said:
"The team leader really has a brilliant plan; these three really did come out from here."

“Manly, keep an eye on them. I’m going to tell my older sister that it looks like we’re going to be neighbors with these people.”

Although this neighbor lives a bit far away, as long as it's in the south of the city, we can all be considered neighbors.

At this time, the Special Higher Police.

Yamayu Kazuo, who had already returned, inquired with Koizumi-kun, but neither of them had found anything. They then anxiously awaited Zhao Xuan's return with his team.

While working on cracking the female AI plan in the technical department, Aizawa Keiko saw Yamayu Kazuo and Takeuchi Koizumi pacing back and forth in the courtyard from the window. In addition, she had not seen Zhao Xuan since noon. Aizawa Keiko's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly ran out of the technical department.

When the section chief came over, Yamayu Kazuo's heart tightened, and Takeuchi Koizumi dared not look her in the eye.

"You two, and these guys from the Operations Section, Yamao Kazuo, what are you doing here? Where's Ah Xuan? Where's our intelligence advisor?"

Yamayu Kazuo lowered his head and dared not speak, while Takeuchi Koizumi wished he could become invisible.

"I'm asking you a question, speak up! Yamayu Kazuo!"

"Hi!"

Yamayu Kazuo sighed and had no choice but to recount the day's actions in detail.
