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

Chapter 349 Guidance
After hearing this, Aizawa Keiko wished she could slap Yamayukazu to death.
"So you sent Ah Xuan with seven men to hunt down the remnants of the Zhenxingqi Society?"

Yamayuu Kazuo had a bitter pill to swallow. He thought the place he went to was where the remnants of the Zhenxing Qishe had moved to.

Unexpectedly, after going there, he actually found the secret room in the sewers and even killed a liaison officer of the Zhenxingqi Society.

Apart from the liaison officer, Yamayu Kazuo searched all the secret rooms but couldn't find anyone else.

At that time, Yamayu Kazuo was praying that it must be Takeuchi Koizumi's side.

But now.
Seeing Yamao Kazuo and Takeuchi Koizumi with their heads bowed, Aizawa Keiko was furious:

"idiot!"

"What are you all standing there for? Everyone get in the car and follow me to Shanyin Road, quick!"

Just as Aizawa Keiko finished giving the order, three cars drove in.

Seeing Zhao Xuan sitting in the passenger seat of the car behind the gate after the car had been parked, Lan Zehuizi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yamayu Kazuo and Takeuchi Koizumi both breathed a sigh of relief.

I was almost scared to death!
As Zhao Xuan got out of the car, Lan Zehuizi hurriedly ran forward:

"Ah Xuan, are you alright?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"It's okay, don't worry."

Seeing that Yamagata Kazuo and Takeuchi Koizumi had also arrived, Zhao Xuan sighed and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yamao, I didn't bring enough people. I couldn't spare any to intercept them. I only managed to kill two core members of the Zhenxingqi Society. The remaining three have already escaped."

Yamayuka swallowed hard. Good heavens, seven people were able to take down two of them. Has Zhao Xuan suddenly become incredibly powerful?

Just now, Yamayu Kazuo was worried that Zhao Xuan would be wiped out in one fell swoop.

After all, Yamayu Kazuo had long heard of the fighting prowess of the Zhenxing Qishe group.

As Zhao Xuan's subordinates unloaded the two corpses from the car, Lan Zehui glared fiercely at Yama Yuichiro:
"The rest is up to you, Koizumi-kun. Yamauchi Kazuo, come with me. Ah-Xuan, you come too!"

Following Aizawa Keiko to the office, Aizawa Keiko immediately slapped Yamauchi Kazuo across the face:

"You idiot! Don't you know Ah Xuan is an office worker? How could you let Ah Xuan lead the team alone for such an operation? Yamano Kazuo, are you a pig?"

Yamayu Kazuo now deeply regrets his actions.

"Hi!"

"Section Chief, I promise there won't be a next time. Today's operation was completely impromptu."

Lan Zehui took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Xuan, and her beautiful eyes filled with tears:

"Advisor Zhao, please stop fooling around with Yamagami Kazuo in the future, I'm begging you!"

Seeing Zhao Xuan nod, Lan Zehuizi let out a cold snort:
"Humph!"

"Get out! I don't want to see you all today!"

After the two left the office, Zhao Xuan and Yamao Kazuo exchanged a glance in the corridor.

"Yamao-kun, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. If I hadn't suggested it, none of this would have happened."

Yamayu Kazuo waved his hand:
"It was my oversight. If I had reported today's operation to the section chief, those people wouldn't have gotten away."

"However, Zhao Sang, I still want to thank you this time. Although you didn't wipe out all the remnants of the Zhenxingqi Society, you did kill two of them. By the way, how did you manage to kill two members of the Zhenxingqi Society without suffering any casualties when you only had seven people with you?"

Zhao Xuan explained the situation to Yamao Kazuo in a lenient manner, and after listening, Yamao Kazuo's lips twitched.

It turned out that Zhao Xuan hadn't led his team into the sewers at all; he had simply been lying in ambush near the stronghold.

As it turned out, someone actually popped out of the manhole cover, and Zhao Xuan, who was waiting for the opportunity, immediately ordered his men to open fire.

After a moment of thought, Yamayu Kazuo realized that his and Takeuchi Koizumi's actions had gone wrong, causing the Zhenxingqi Society's liaison to notify Lü Tianting's side, forcing them to flee, and then they just happened to run into Zhao Xuan's gun.

Thinking about all this, Yamayu Kazuo didn't know what to say, and he didn't even want to chat with Zhao Xuan anymore.

We're all human, so why are you so lucky?
Zhao Xuan stopped in his tracks, and Yamao Kazuo looked at him, somewhat stunned.
"Zhao Sang, let's go! Why did you stop? It's my treat tonight. Let's have a good meal at Zhizhen Garden."

Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head:

"Yamao-kun, take Takeuchi Koizumi with you. The Action Section has done a great job today, and we can't let everyone down."

"As for me, we've made the section chief so angry, I'd better go back and try to appease her."

Yamayuu's eyes lit up. That's right, everyone in the Special Higher Police Department knows that the head of the department likes Zhao Xuan. It would be good to let Zhao Xuan go and coax him. Otherwise, if Aizawa Keiko makes things difficult for them later, who can stand that?

"Yo-ho, Zhao-san is indeed very thoughtful. Well then, I'll leave the section chief position to you. Please make sure you appease him properly, or our Action Section might be in trouble!"

Zhao Xuan raised his hand and patted Yamayu Kazuo on the shoulder:

"Don't worry."

After watching Yamayuki Kazuo leave, Zhao Xuan turned around and returned to Aizawa Keiko's office.

As soon as Zhao Xuan entered, he saw Lan Zehui sitting in an office chair wiping away tears.

Seeing Zhao Xuan suddenly push the door open and come in, Lan Zehuizi blushed and looked at Zhao Xuan with embarrassment and annoyance:

"Who gave you permission to come in without knocking?"

Zhao Xuan stepped forward, took a handkerchief from his suit pocket, and handed it to Lan Zehuizi:

"Huizi, I'm sorry, I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have gone to such a dangerous place. Don't worry, I will definitely keep you informed of all future operations."

"Okay, stop crying, your eyes are all red, but you're still pretty!"

For a moment, Aizawa Keiko didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.

Seeing Zhao Xuan give a coquettish laugh, snatch the handkerchief, and wipe her tears, Lan Zehui said:

"Remember what you said today. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Xiaoya and Ayan?!"

No. 15, Lane 3, Sixth Lane, South of Shanghai.

After listening to He Wanjun and Chen Manli's report, Liu Manping turned her gaze to Song Yuanyuan, who was free to move around outside.

"Judge (Song Yuanyuan), how much do you know about this Hua Xiaonuan?"

Wearing a navy blue cheongsam, Song Yuanyuan, who was elegantly brewing tea, raised her head:
"I have mobilized all the resources in the family to investigate. So far, all we know is that Hua Xiaonuan was born into the Guarjia family. In fact, Hua Xiaonuan's identity is quite special. She is a princess of the Qing Dynasty, and her real name is Guan Xiaonuan."

"Her father was confirmed dead during the September 18 Incident, and Hua Xiaonuan was officially recruited into the Zhenxingqi Society after that."

"With Hua Xiaonuan joining, the old guard from the north gave them a large number of national treasures to take with them when they moved the Zhenxingqi Society to the south." "As for where those national treasures are hidden, there are currently no clues."

"Regarding Hua Xiaonuan, she has an older brother named Guan Mingzhi, but we haven't found any other information yet."

Liu Manping nodded slightly; perhaps this matter could be used to make a difference.

"I remember the team leader's hometown is Beiping, right?"

Seeing Song Yuanyuan nod, Liu Manping smiled and said:

"If, and I mean if, our team leader became Hua Xiaonuan's brother, do you think he could find out the whereabouts of those national treasures from Hua Xiaonuan?"

He Wanjun's lips twitched, and she looked at Liu Manping speechlessly:
"Big sister, we only know one name. Hua Xiaonuan isn't an idiot. Does she not know who her brother is? Besides, we don't know if Guan Mingzhi is alive or dead. If the team leader tries to impersonate him, he'll be exposed in no time."

Liu Manping sighed:
"Alas, what a pity about those national treasures. If they could be found, it would be like a shot in the arm for the people and soldiers of China during such a special time."

"Alright, let's report the situation to the team leader. Hua Xiaonuan and the others have already settled in at No. 41, Second Lane, Sixth Lane. Let the team leader deal with this kind of problem."

At No. 41, Second Lane, Liudao Lane, Lü Tianting, Hua Xiaonuan, and Na Xin, who had just finished cleaning, gathered in the front room.

After calming down from his anger, Lü Tianting had a plan in mind regarding the sudden attack today.

"Xiao Nuan, I believe you've noticed it too."

Hua Xiaonuan nodded slightly, her face somber.

"Qidong betrayed us!"

Lü Tian slammed his hand on the table:
"That's right, it should be this old guy."

"He's always been good at protecting himself and is insatiably greedy. This old guy would probably do anything for money."

“I even suspect that all our actions in the French Concession were due to this old guy providing intelligence to the Special Higher Police.”

The new man frowned as he looked at Lü Tianting:
"Chairman, Qidong is a veteran of our Qi Society. It wouldn't do him any good if the Qi Society were destroyed, and it might even cause him to lose his protector. Would he do something that loses him money?"

Hua Xiaonuan shook her head:
“Na Xin, you’ve been gone for many years and don’t know much about the situation within the Banner Society.”

"You probably can't imagine how much money we've invested to support Fifteen in his missions."

"So life within the clan was not easy either. Qi Dong raised objections many times at the clan elders' meeting, and even argued with the chairman several times."

"But as members of the clan elders' council, we can't do anything about him. We can only turn a blind eye to his money-making schemes. Over the years, Qidong is probably no longer satisfied with a steady stream of business."

Upon hearing this, Xin was fairly certain that Qidong had betrayed them.

"President, we've all been forced out of the French Concession, but what about Qidong? Can he really stay in the French Concession?"

Lu Tian snorted coldly:
"That's why I suspect him. You and Xiao Nuan are in charge of bringing this old guy from Qidong back. If he doesn't cooperate, then let him go see the King of Hell."

"I will find a way to bring back the members of the Banner Society who are scattered in various places. This can't go on. We must make the 76th Division and the Special Higher Police pay for their blood debts!"

Hua Xiaonuan frowned:
"President, it's not that easy to gather them. We're broke right now and we've become wanted criminals. They might not be willing to come back."

"I have my own way."

Hua Xiaonuan stared intently at Lü Tianting. She had already made up her mind about his plan, but to be honest, she didn't really approve of using that batch of materials now.

"President, please reconsider. It's not the right time to make any moves on those things."

"Alright, I have my own plans. You just need to take care of Qidong."

As the remnants of the Zhenxingqi Society went into hiding, time passed day by day.

At the end of March, the Wang Jingwei regime officially announced the establishment of a government and sent Chen Yibo to Shanghai to meet with Japanese people and celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai and hold a press conference.

Shanghai Mayor Su Wen was demoted to deputy mayor, and Chen Yibo was appointed as the new mayor.

In another day, Chen Yibo will be able to arrive in Shanghai, and this matter has touched a nerve with the underground party, the Kuomintang military intelligence, and even the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

At the Café de la Chapelle in the French Concession, Fu Zhengguo, the stationmaster of Shanghai Station, personally met with Fengweilan.

"This matter was originally Mao Sanlin's responsibility, but now Mao Sanlin has withdrawn back to Shancheng and is crippled. So, there's no other way but for Zheng Yi to lead the Hurricane Team to continue this mission."

"Chen Yibo must die no matter what; this is a death order from above."

"Dao Yan, your task is to find out Chen Yibo's specific schedule. The timeline must be clear. You only have two days."

"If possible, please, ask the cubs for help."

Dao Yan slowly stopped stirring her coffee and looked up at Fu Zhengguo, who was reading a newspaper and drinking coffee across from her.

"Okay, I will try my best to complete this task. However, the Sheshan Research Institute has been completed. Are there any targeted actions being taken in Shancheng?"

Fu Zhengguo shook his head:
"Not for now. The most important thing right now is to strike at the Wang Jingwei regime. The Chairman has already slammed his fist on the table. No matter what the task is, it must be put after eliminating Chen Yibo."

If they hadn't been unable to assassinate Wang Da, the people in Shancheng would have planned to kill him outright.

The formal establishment of the Wang Jingwei regime dealt a severe blow to the enthusiasm for resistance against Japan in China, and also caused many members of the Kuomintang to waver in their attitudes.

Under such circumstances, how could the Chairman and Boss Dai possibly have the time or energy to attend to other matters?

Dao Yan nodded, grabbed her trench coat, and turned to leave the coffee shop.

Five or six minutes after Dao Yan left, Fu Zhengguo got up and walked out of the coffee shop. However, instead of returning to Shanghai Station, Fu Zhengguo headed towards a tailor shop not far away.

Since Zhu's clothing store was shut down, Yongji, a tailor shop on Xiafei Road, has been doing brisk business.

Entering Yongji, Fu Zhengguo smiled at the busy boss:

"Mr. Zhang, is the long gown I ordered from you a while ago ready yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ce, the owner of the shop wearing a gray hat and holding a pipe, looked up and smiled at Fu Zhengguo.

"Oh, it's Mr. Fu. The long gown you ordered has been ready for a while now. I'll go get it for you right away."

A few minutes later, Zhang Ce handed the long gown to Fu Zhengguo.

Fu Zhengguo nodded and smiled, left the final payment, and then left Yongji.

On Xiafei Road, Fu Zhengguo calmly took out a note from his bag. After glancing at the contents of the note, he took out a cigarette and, as he put it in his mouth, swallowed the note along with it.

He stopped, lit the fire, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, took a deep breath, and strode towards a bookstore not far away.

After entering the bookstore, Fu Zhengguo walked to the innermost row of bookshelves, looking for books he liked, and slowly came to the third bookshelf.
