Chapter 365 Taking advantage of the situation
Liu Manping then said:

"Wanjun and Manli have entered the Huamao Hotel. From the information they provided, we confirmed that Smith has also arrived here. At the same time, Wanjun also discovered an unexpected guy!"

Before Liu Manping could finish speaking, Dao Ya said:

"Chen Yibo!"

"Yes, it's Chen Yibo, but shouldn't Chen Yibo be at Zhizhen Garden right now?"

Dao Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

“My brother-in-law and I discussed it yesterday. Chen Yibo is likely to use a feint attack.”

"Now it seems I was right."

"As for why there are two Chen Yibos, there are only two reasons: one is disguise, and the other is a double."

Dao Ya had also consulted a hospital in the French Concession about plastic surgery. If the preparation and time were sufficient, it was indeed possible to transform another person who resembled the target into the target through plastic surgery.

Dao Ya is more inclined to believe that Chen Yibo had prepared a stand-in long ago.

The fact that both Song Shiyun and Smith came to the Cathay Hotel proves that Chen Yibo, who was at the Cathay Hotel, is the real person.

"In that case, let's take action! We absolutely cannot let Chen Yibo leave the Hua Mao Hotel alive!"

As Dao Ya gave the order, Liu Manping and Song Yuanyuan nodded.

Chen Manli and He Wanjun were already prepared at the Hua Mao Hotel.

Based on the intelligence we have so far, Chen Yibo seems to be very confident in his strategy, in order to make others believe that Chen Yibo is in Zhizhen Garden.

The Cathay Hotel has virtually no security personnel.

Of course, this is in comparison to Zhizhen Garden.

Chen Yibo has a lot of bodyguards around him.

Watching Liu Manping and Song Yuanyuan leave the teahouse, Dao Ya left the private room and went to the teahouse counter to make a phone call:
"Hey, Uncle Zheng, it's me. Are you free today? Okay, let's meet at the intersection of Rue Pétain."

At 2 PM, the largest private room on the sixth floor of the Cathay Hotel has been converted into a conference room.

Having obtained the easily concealable rice-shaped hood from Dao Ya, Song Yuanyuan, after disguising herself, pushed the food cart inside. Upon seeing the people inside, Song Yuanyuan's heart pounded wildly.

Inside the meeting room were Chen Yibo, his father, and Smith.

There were also two other people who made Song Yuanyuan's heart pound.

Kyoko Watanabe and Kagesa!
That's right, Kagesa has actually come to Shanghai.

Moreover, besides Chen Yibo's bodyguards, there were two other people in the conference room who made Song Yuanyuan feel extremely troubled.

One was Suzuki Jiro, brought by Kagesa, and the other was Kyogoku Mi, who stood to the side and behind Watanabe Kyoko and had a very cold and gloomy demeanor.

Just seeing these two people made Song Yuanyuan feel that half of today's plan had already failed.

After suppressing her anxiety, Song Yuanyuan gracefully placed the refreshments from the food cart onto the conference table. After glancing at the two documents on the table out of the corner of her eye, she pushed the food cart away.

What Song Yuanyuan didn't know was that Song Shiyun's heart had almost jumped out of his throat.

When Song Yuanyuan placed tea and snacks beside him, Song Shiyun could smell her unique fragrance and knew that she was his daughter!

The kitchen of the Cathay Hotel.

As Song Yuanyuan pushed the food cart back, her eyes quickly locked onto her eldest sister, Liu Manping.

As she picked up the vegetables and moved closer, Song Yuanyuan whispered:
"Big sister, things have changed. Chen Yibo is indeed in the conference room on the sixth floor, but there are two other people who give me a very dangerous feeling. In particular, Yingzuo has already arrived in Shanghai and is up there now."

Liu Manping's face darkened. After glancing at Song Yuanyuan, Song Yuanyuan continued:
"Those two people were brought by Kagesa and Watanabe Kyoko. They are both experts. Moreover, there are many eyes in the hotel. This hotel is basically full of enemy agents. Once we make a move, we will be surrounded in less than a minute."

As for poisoning tea and snacks, don't be ridiculous. As top-notch agents, they wouldn't be that stupid.

Liu Manping slowly exhaled:

"Wait for my news."

On the other side, at the intersection of Rue Pétain and Rue Joffre, Dao Ya spotted Zheng Quan, also known as Master Niu, from afar.

After receiving Dao Ya's call, Master Niu immediately set off for the agreed-upon location to wait.

As Dao Ya walked up to him, Master Niu, with his hands in his pockets, asked in a low voice:

"Xiaoya, what's going on?"

"I just received news that the real Chen Yibo is at the Cathay Hotel, but something seems amiss."

Soon, the two reached a street corner with few pedestrians.

"Chen Yibo? Isn't he at Zhizhen Garden?"

Master Niu's Xinzhong Bookstore is located on Huanghe Road, so he naturally knows the situation at Zhizhen Garden.

It can be said that Huanghe Road is now under complete surveillance by Japanese spies, and no one can get close to Zhizhen Garden without being detected.

If Master Niu hadn't left Huanghe Road, he would probably still be stuck there being questioned.

Moreover, even after Master Niu left Huanghe Road, secret agents followed him all the way until they were certain that Master Niu was not heading towards Zhizhen Garden, at which point the agents withdrew.

"According to the information provided by my brother-in-law, Chen Yibo from Zhizhen Garden is a fake; he's just a stand-in."

"The problem we're facing now is that not only is Chen Yibo at the Hua Mao Hotel, but Yingzuo has also come."

Master Niu looked at Dao Ya with a hesitant expression:
"So what do you plan to do? Xiaoya, the situation is beyond your control. I think we should wait for Young Tiger, discuss it further, and then take action!"

Daoya shook her head:
“No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chen Yibo’s double is so similar to him that it’s hard to tell the difference. If we miss this chance, we’ll have to deal with Chen Yibo later, and we don’t care what the cost is, but we’re afraid of killing a fake.”

"So this time, we absolutely have to take down Chen Yibo."

Master Niu thought for a few seconds and finally nodded in agreement.

Even considering Dao Ya's identity as Tiger Girl, Master Niu had no reason to refuse.

Besides, Master Niu couldn't possibly watch Dao Ya go on an adventure alone.

"Xiaoya, what are your plans?"

Before meeting up with Master Niu, Dao Ya received a call from Liu Manping. Along the way, Dao Ya had already thought of a way to deal with the situation.

"Inside the Cathay Hotel, our people have figured out the location of all the spies. Judging from the current situation, if anyone dares to make a move in the Cathay Hotel, they will be surrounded within a minute."

“But the Chinachem Hotel did not impose martial law; on the contrary, it allowed guests to come and go freely. Since they were so confident, we simply did the opposite. The more they thought no one would dare to make a move at the Chinachem Hotel, the bigger we would do, catching them off guard.”

"Moreover, this is the French Concession. As long as we can withdraw from the Cathay Hotel, they won't be able to do anything to us even if they are prepared."

At this point, Daoya took out a map from her handbag, unfolded it, and pointed to the layout on it, saying:
"Currently, the snipers are ready across from the Chinachem Hotel, but the curtains on the sixth floor of the Chinachem Hotel are drawn, so the snipers can't find their targets." "So we need to find a way to get the people in the conference room to open the curtains first."

Actually, what Master Niu is most curious about now is how Dao Ya found out the locations of those spies inside the Hua Mao Hotel.

Judging from the markings on the floor plan, the locations of those spies were not only those in the open, but also those hidden in the rooms and in the shadows.

Having figured out the locations of so many enemies, Dao Ya's side still showed no signs of being exposed. This kind of operation was something Master Niu was very familiar with, which was when Young Tiger personally took charge.

Master Niu also knew that the young tiger was in Zhizhen Garden, so how could it be!

So, this is what Daoya did?

This Tiger Girl is amazing!

Master Niu's guess was actually correct; only a young tiger could perform such an operation.

Dao Ya was carrying the nanophone that Zhao Xuan had given her, and the nanophone could separate nano-flying insects.

As long as Dao Ya is near the Hua Mao Hotel, Zhao Xuan can remotely connect to the vision of the nanobugs to investigate the situation inside the Hua Mao Hotel.

On the map, the locations of all enemy agents were clearly identified by Zhao Xuan through nano-flying insects. He then had Edith contact Dao Ya to explain the locations in detail, and Dao Ya marked them out.

With this floor plan, the situation between the enemy and ourselves becomes one of the enemy being in the open while we are in the dark.

This would increase the probability of assassinating Chen Yibo to 30%.

Given the vast disparity in strength between us and the enemy, a 30% probability is already quite high.

What Daoya needs to do now is to increase that probability.

Seeing Master Niu carefully studying the floor plan with a serious expression, Dao Ya continued:
"There are five of us here, including myself, which is definitely not enough. So, Master Niu, you'll need to contact the Shanghai station. I need the Hurricane team's help."

"However, there's one thing: we can't let them know my identity, so I can only rely on you, Master Niu, to do this."

"From now on, just follow my instructions."

Master Niu nodded:
“Okay, I’ll contact the Shanghai station. But Xiaoya, even with the Hurricane team, we still don’t have enough manpower.”

"Moreover, as you said, both Kagesa and Watanabe Kyoko are in the conference room on the sixth floor of the Huamao Hotel. Even if we have a way to force them to open the curtains, based on their experience, it is absolutely impossible for them to expose Chen Yibo to the window view."

Dao Ya smiled, pursing her lips.

"I never said I was going to use a sniper to kill Chen Yibo!"

"The role of a sniper is only to deter, assist, and cover the rear. The one who will truly kill Chen Yibo is me!"

Master Niu's expression changed drastically:
"What did you say? You're going to do it yourself?!"

"No, absolutely not! I don't agree, and I'm sure Young Tiger won't agree either. Xiaoya, don't do anything rash!"

At that moment, Dao Ya suddenly pointed to several black Buick sedans speeding past on the street:

"See those cars? Master Niu, there are some things you must know. I'm involved in the black market, and my convoy moves freely throughout the French Concession."

Master Niu quickly turned his head to look and indeed saw several cars leaving, heading towards the Hua Mao Hotel.

"Xiaoya, what's wrong?"

Dao Ya laughed, her eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

"That's right, the assassination at the Cathay Hotel was just an appetizer. What really sent Chen Yibo to his death was explosives!"

“I have located their parking spot. Planting the explosives is not easy, but it is not too difficult either.”

"Once the explosives are installed, the car will explode within a minute of starting."

Master Niu's temples throbbed as he listened; he actually saw a hint of a conductor in Dao Ya.

"You're not planning to blow up Watanabe Kyoko and Kagesa too, are you?"

Daoya shook her head:
“Not only them, I also arranged for explosives to be planted in Smith’s car.”

"After all, we don't know which car Chen Yibo will end up in, so just in case, we naturally have to arrange for all of them to be on board."

Master Niu nodded:
"Okay, I'll contact them now."

Seeing this, Dao Ya quickly pulled Master Niu back:
"Master Niu, wait a moment, this is the second choice."

"Secondary option?!"

Master Niu stared wide-eyed at Dao Ya in disbelief.

Such a perfect, but somewhat insane plan, and you and I are second choice?!

Could there be an even better plan?

Dao Ya smiled and said:
"This plan was implemented after my first plan failed."

My first plan is...

"So, Master Niu, you should prepare yourself. If I fail, proceed with the second plan."

After listening to Dao Ya's entire plan, Master Niu felt that Dao Ya had a bit of a crazy side, and compared to the conductor, Dao Ya was obviously calmer and more cautious.

He also knew that the conductor had once been Dao Ya's teacher, and Dao Ya had surpassed her teacher.

Although he thought Dao Ya's plan was a bit crazy, after thinking it over, Master Niu still felt that the plan had a high chance of success.

So, after parting ways with Dao Ya, Master Niu quickly contacted the Shanghai station.

Xiafei Road, Shanghai Station.

Fu Zhengguo was stunned when he received Master Niu's call.

Fu Zhengguo, who had just stood up abruptly from his chair and was on the phone, was stunned. After a few seconds, he quickly said:
"You mean, Tiger Girl and the cub were involved too?"

"Alright, alright! Don't worry, the Hurricane Team will definitely be there within ten minutes. I don't care what you do then, you're in charge of the Hurricane Team, but there's only one thing: Chen Yibo must die!"

After hanging up the phone, Fu Zhengguo's face flushed with excitement. He dialed the number again, and as soon as the call connected, he eagerly said:
"Old Tao, immediately gather your men at the intersection of 17 Rue de la Paix. Someone is waiting for you there. The rendezvous code remains the same. After the rendezvous is successful, all actions will be under the command of the contact person."

"I'll say it again: you must obey the instructions of your contact!"

Shanghai, 2:25 PM, Cathay Hotel in the French Concession.

Wearing a black dress and a knitted hat, Dao Ya gracefully walked into the lobby of the Cathay Hotel.

At the front desk in the lobby, a middle-aged man in a suit was arguing with the receptionist.

"What did you say? The conference room is gone, you idiot!"
