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

Chapter 385 Gunshot
"Stubborn?! Heh, I've never met a tough nut to crack since I came to Mei Agency."

"You must be under twenty years old this year, young lady. Who sent you to Shenjiang University today? Tell me to avoid getting a beating."

Daoya looked at Yingzuo calmly, without any fear, and said:

"To be honest, sir, oh, your name is Yingzuo, then Lord Yingzuo, what you did today has caused me irreversible physical and mental harm. I demand that this so-called 'shady organization' compensate me for my mental distress and lost wages!"

"And most importantly, Shenjiang University is my alma mater. Three of my juniors were killed on the playground, and then all of your shady organization's people showed up. I now strongly suspect that it was your shady organization's agents who killed them while everyone was on the playground, listening to the principal's speech and receiving the supplies I brought, completely focused on their work!"

"These three students are just my juniors to put it mildly, but as their senior, I consider them my dearest friends, family, and brothers. Now they have been killed by your people. If your crooked organization doesn't give me an explanation and give Shenjiang University an explanation for this, I will not let this go!"

Hearing Dao Ya repeatedly use the term "shabby machine," Ying Zuo, who was already burning with anger, had his eyes bloodshot and red.

Haruko Suzuki also clenched her fists.

She only learned yesterday that her brother, Suzuki Jiro, had died.

Of course, she didn't care much about Suzuki Jiro's life or death. They were just brothers. So what if they were her own brothers?

Anyone who gets in her way will be killed by Suzuki Haruko without anyone else even lifting a finger.

Therefore, it is clear how much Suzuki Haruko identifies with the Mei Agency and how strong her desire to advance within it is.

But now, Dao Ya keeps using the term "wild chicken mechanism," and she's even afraid they won't understand, so she says it in Chinese and then repeats it verbatim in Japanese.

Haruko Suzuki really wanted to snap Toa's neck right now.

Kudo Ikkyu stood to one side, frantically giving Toya meaningful glances: "Grandma, say less. Do you think it's easy for me to persuade them not to torture you?"
But Daoya became more and more agitated as she spoke; if her hands hadn't been locked in the iron chains of the torture chair, she would have slammed her fist on the table.
“My sister is the head of the 76th Division’s Telecommunications Section, my brother-in-law is the head of the Special Higher Police’s Intelligence Advisory Section, and my best friend is the sister of the director of the Military Police Headquarters’ Police Affairs Department. Who dares to touch me?”

Kudo Ikkyu looked at this arrogant little brat with a black line on his forehead. Once she said those words, he couldn't stop her.

Yingzuo was so angry that he burst into laughter. He thought Daoya had some powerful backing, but this is how dare she be so arrogant!

He Yingzuo was also the highest military advisor to the Wang Jingwei regime and the Major General Special Service Chief of the Imperial Japanese Army.

In the entire city of Shanghai, there isn't a single major general in the intelligence agencies.

Now, a Chinese person is acting arrogantly just because he has a couple of Tom, Dick, or Harry as a backer. This shows that he doesn't take Yingzuo seriously at all.

"Yoshi yoshi yoshi!"

"Suzuki, since she's asking, then go ahead and torture her. I want to see just how stubborn and foul her mouth really is!"

"Hi!"

Haruko Suzuki couldn't listen any longer, and Ikkyu Kudo, no longer daring to stop her, quickly said:
"Chief, Haruko, calm down!"

calm! ?
Can't calm down at all!
Haruko Suzuki snorted coldly, shoved Ikkyu Kudo aside, and glared fiercely at Toa. She stepped forward and took a red-hot pair of iron tongs from the brazier.

"I've heard that there's a form of torture in the Dragon Kingdom called branding. I wonder what the effect would be if that iron block were placed on Miss Daoya's delicate skin?"

"Oh, of course, this is just an appetizer. I'm sure you'll be very interested in what I'm about to prepare for you."

Daoya smiled dismissively and looked at Suzuki Haruko, saying:

"I'd like to know too, I'm really curious. Miss Japanese, stop talking nonsense and let me taste it, or I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Haruko Suzuki was so angry that her chest heaved. She had no intention of scaring Toa but was really going to make a move. She stepped forward and was about to clamp the red-hot iron tongs into Toa's mouth.

That mouth is so hateful! Haruko Suzuki will make sure Toa never speaks again.

After using this punishment, Suzuki Haruko planned to rip out Toa's tongue.

Kagesa watched this scene expressionlessly, making no attempt to stop it.

Before Suzuki Haruko could even make a move, gunshots rang out from outside the interrogation room.

Gunshots!

How dare someone fire a gun inside the Mei Agency?

Has someone launched a full-scale attack on the Mei Agency?
The Mei Agency has only just made its debut, and someone already dares to provoke the tiger?
"What happened? Go check it out immediately!"

Kudo Ikkyu sighed. He knew that capturing Toa would bring a host of troubles.

Gunshots rang out inside the Mei Agency, and in the corridor outside the interrogation room, which sent chills down Kudo Ikkyu's spine.

Haruko Suzuki frowned and looked back. Before Ikkyu Kudo could go out to check, the interrogation room door was kicked open, and the person leading the way in was Teru Tojo, the commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps.

Many people may not be familiar with Teru Tojo, but his father is a big shot in the navy and a future prime minister of Japan who will serve as an active-duty officer. Hideki Tojo!

As Teru Tojo led his Marine Corps squad in, Jiro Toyoda followed.

As the heavily armed men stormed into the interrogation room, Kagesa's head buzzed.

As soon as Jiro Toyoda entered, he immediately saw Haruko Suzuki standing in front of Toa, who was bound to the torture chair, holding red-hot iron tongs.

With eyes blazing with fury, and under the threat of guns raised by the men brought by Tojo Teru, none of the Mei Agency personnel in the interrogation room dared to move. Toyoda Jiro strode forward, snatched the iron pliers from Suzuki Haruko's hand, and slapped her to the ground.
"You bastards! You bunch of horse herders, how dare you torture Xiaoya! General Kagesa, this is not over. Later, my Admiral will demand an explanation from you!"

"Now, I'm taking him away. If you have any complaints, go talk to Gunzi!"

As soon as Jiro Toyoda finished speaking, the Marines around him cocked their rifles and stood ready, their eyes full of provocation. If anyone in the Mei Agency couldn't hold back at this moment, things would get really interesting.

Teruya Tojo immediately stepped forward, removed the iron chains and shackles binding Toa, and then stood aside.

Daoya's eyes were red, tears welling up in them. She stood up, hugged Toyota Jiro's arm, and burst into tears.

"Uncle Toyota, I almost thought I'd never see you again!"

Seeing Toa sobbing uncontrollably, Toyoda Jiro was furious, but he didn't dare say much to Kagesa. However, he knew that Iitaro would definitely have to give Toa an explanation when they got back.

Soon, Iitaro will be a vice admiral in the navy. Kagesa will make things difficult for him then!

"Hmph, General Kagesa, tell your men to step back. Do you really want to test whether our navy dares to make a move?"

Kagesa gritted his teeth and slowly backed away. Kudo Ikkyu immediately helped Suzuki Haruko, who was lying on the ground with an incredulous expression, to the side.

Daoya glanced at everyone present, then said to Toyoda Jiro:

"Uncle Toyota, please wait for me outside. I think it's best to clear up some misunderstandings. I'd like to have a private talk with Lord Kagesa."

Jiro Toyoda nodded slightly, glared fiercely at Haruko Suzuki, and then left the interrogation room with his men. The agents from the Ume Agency were also forcibly taken away by Teru Tojo.

Inside the interrogation room, only Kagesa, Suzuki Haruko who was stunned by the beating from Daibi Kabuto, and Kudo Ikkyu with a bitter expression remained.

Daoya looked at the three of them, first smiling elegantly and politely, then a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. She still smiled, but that smile was like a venomous snake, making Suzuki Haruko feel uneasy.

"Lord Kagesa, Miss Suzuki, I am a businessman, a businessman who follows the rules. But if anyone doesn't follow the rules with me, my means of retaliation will be limited to business exchanges."

"No need for you three to see me off. I will repay your kindness a hundredfold in the future!"

After saying that, Dao Ya's eyes reddened again, and she walked towards the door with a pitiful expression.

Therefore, Zhang Wuji's mother's words are applicable everywhere.

Outside the gate of the Mei Agency, Sakai Michiko, Uchiyama Mizuki, and Zhao Xuan were standing together.

The three stood beside the Buick sedan that Zhao Xuan had driven, chatting in hushed tones with serious expressions.

Soon, Jiro Toyoda and the others came out with Toa.

Upon seeing Zhao Xuan, Dao Ya's tears instantly welled up. She pushed aside those around her and ran out, throwing herself into Zhao Xuan's arms.
"Brother-in-law, waaaaah—"

Toyota Jiro followed with his men. Uchiyama Mizuki and Michiko greeted him. Zhao Xuan gently patted Dao Ya's back and softly comforted her:

"Okay, it's okay."

After speaking, Zhao Xuan looked at Toyoda Jiro:

"Thank you, Toyota-kun."

"In addition, I spoke with Ms. Sato Ai on the phone before I came. Xiaoya had already prepared the items to be sent to various places. I believe that the items that Xiaoya was supposed to send are already at the Marine Corps headquarters."

Toyota Jiro's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that when Dao Ya was arrested at Shenjiang University, she would still remember this matter and have made arrangements long ago.

But regardless of whether it was arranged or not, Jiro Toyoda had to come.

"Xiaoya was frightened today, Zhao Sang, you should take her home to rest as soon as possible. Xiaoya, you go back and get some rest. Don't worry, our navy won't let this matter go so easily!"

Toya straightened up and turned to look at Toyoda Jiro:
"Uncle Toyota, I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position."

Toyoda Jiro raised his hand and patted Toa's shoulder:

“It’s no trouble at all. If something happened to you and I didn’t come, Iitaro would definitely laugh at me. After all, Iitaro and I really treat you like a niece.”

"Mr. Zhao, I'm leaving Xiaoya in your care."

Zhao Xuan nodded, and Toyoda Jiro nodded slightly before not lingering any longer. After all, the money had already been sent to headquarters, and Toyoda Jiro needed to hurry back and distribute it.

After the Feng Haijun men left, Mizuki and Michiko looked at Zhao Xuan and said:

“Zhao Sang, although we weren’t of much help, if the Mei Agency continues to pursue this matter, we won’t stand idly by.”

"Yes, Zhao-san, Miss Dao-ya, the original organization won't stand idly by either. After all, our three families are practically brothers. I just don't know why only you, Zhao-san, came from the Special Higher Police?" Zhao Xuan chuckled, naturally knowing what Michiko was trying to say.
"It's nothing serious, I can come by myself."

"However, this time, I must thank both of you for your help."

Without the people brought by Mizuki Uchiyama, Michiko Sakai, and Anu, Jiro Toyoda wouldn't have been able to break into the Ume Agency so easily.

Mizuki Uchiyama and Michiko Sakai naturally didn't dare to force their way in, but Anu did. However, before he could even begin, Jiro Toyoda and his men arrived and launched a series of fierce attacks, leaving them no room to maneuver.

Mizuki Uchiyama also wanted to ask, "The things for the Navy have been sent, but what about the Military Police Headquarters?"
However, seeing Daoya's aggrieved look, Uchiyama Mizuki still didn't have the heart to ask.

However, Michiko Sakai smiled and said:

"Mr. Zhao, Ms. Dao Ya, my teacher has been wanting to invite you both to dinner. I wonder if you could do me the honor of dining at Zhizhen Garden tomorrow night?"

Zhao Xuan didn't even need to think about it; he knew what Tu Feiyuan was planning just by hearing those words.

The issue of raw materials is indeed the most troublesome problem for Tu Feiyuan right now.

Zhao Xuan also planned to have Tu Feiyuan bring in a batch of raw materials.

On the Sheshan side, the military police have not yet fully moved in; of the originally planned two companies, only half a company is currently there.

The reason, of course, is the lack of raw materials, making it impossible to start production.

This can't go on. Zhao Xuan was afraid that Kasahara Heiji and Karasawa Saburo wouldn't be able to contain their excitement and would start researching the virus they brought along too early.

In this way, the virus's killing effect will be much smaller.

Since Michiko brought it up, Zhao Xuan was naturally eager for the Sheshan project to start as soon as possible. At the very least, the military police had to move two companies there as quickly as possible.

"Ms. Michiko, you flatter me. We owe you a lot for your help this time. I should be the one treating you to dinner."

"In that case, I would like to trouble Mr. Doi-maru and Director Uchiyama to come to Zhizhen Garden tomorrow evening. I would also like to ask Ms. Michiko and Ms. Mizuki to convey my request."

Although there was one more person, Yokono Uchiyama, Michiko had achieved her goal and naturally agreed happily.

Miyuki hadn't expected that they would be involved, and she smiled and agreed.

Now, both of them could see that there must have been a rift between Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehuizi. It was unlikely that the original organization would be able to win Zhao Xuan over, after all, Tu Feiyuan had previously schemed against Zhao Xuan.

However, it's not impossible for the Military Police Headquarters to do so.

Most importantly, Zhao Xuan is still the intelligence advisor of the Military Police Command's Intelligence Department. With this position, the Military Police Command is naturally closer to Zhao Xuan, and the possibility of recruiting him is greater.

How dare Aizawa Keiko give Zhao Xuan a section chief position? Does the Military Police Headquarters have less power than the Special Higher Police?
Koji Ida is now trying to win Zhao Xuan over.

I may have had this idea before, but it wasn't that strong.

But as Toa's business ventures flourished, Koji Ida needed to be closely associated with someone who was also close to Toa.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan's abilities are outstanding. When Meiyue was reviewing past files, she also saw many of the operations Zhao Xuan had participated in.

It's fair to say that without Zhao Xuan's involvement, the chances of those operations succeeding would have been significantly reduced.

Meiyue naturally hoped that such a talented person could work in the intelligence department of the Military Police Headquarters, rather than in a sinecure that wouldn't be very useful, since Zhao Xuan rarely went to the Military Police Headquarters.

After seeing Michiko and Mizuki off, Zhao Xuan drove away with Dao Ya.

On the way back to Wusongkou, Dao Ya, sitting in the passenger seat, had a somewhat gloomy expression.

While in the interrogation room of the Mei Agency, Dao Ya became certain that Suzuki Haruko would absolutely dare to harm her.

At that time, they were at each other's mercy. Although Dao Ya appeared calm and arrogant on the surface, she was also terrified inside.

Dao Ya didn't know if she could endure such torture, and even if she could, she didn't know how she would face herself after leaving the Mei Agency.

Therefore, Toa naturally wanted to kill Suzuki Haruko!

As Zhao Xuan was driving, he caught a glimpse of Dao Ya's expression out of the corner of his eye, and felt a little scared.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan also intended to completely break Suzuki Haruko. And the only thing that could break someone down and drive them to despair was to crush the things they cared about most right before their eyes.

Of course, before that, we should serve up some appetizers for Mei Guanji.

"Xiaoya, what are your plans?"

Dao Ya gave a cold laugh, all traces of her previous grievance and liveliness gone, and said in a chilling voice:
"When I left Mei Agency, I told Kagesa and Suzuki Haruko that I would use business means to make them have no place in Shanghai, after all, I am a businessman."

Zhao Xuan roughly understood what Dao Ya was going to do, but he still said:
"Then let's take a two-pronged approach."

"This morning, I happened to learn some intelligence that Wang Bentian, the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Central China, has defected. But I think he is likely a mole planted by Boss Dai in the Mei Agency. But it doesn't matter."

Dao Ya's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhao Xuan thoughtfully, saying:

“Brother-in-law, I have no objection to this. If the Ghost Team takes action, I will participate. As long as it can cause trouble for Suzuki Haruko, I am happy to participate.”

"Alright, when the time is right, I will make the arrangements myself."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan began to talk to Edith.

(Edith, call Yamashiro and tell him that Wang Bentian has betrayed the regime. Young Tiger will act expediently and find an opportunity to eliminate Wang Bentian!)
(Understood, sir!)
Zhao Xuan specially released a nanobug to follow Wang Bentian, so that his every move could not escape Zhao Xuan's surveillance.

After Zhao Xuan and the others had left Plum Blossom Hall, Lan Zehuizi hurriedly arrived with the people from the Osaka Chamber of Commerce.

At the entrance of the Mei Agency, the men brought by Aizawa Keiko had already drawn their guns and were confronting the Mei Agency's agents.

Upon hearing the news, Kagesa and Suzuki Haruko quickly arrived at the scene.

Seeing Aizawa Keiko's behavior, Kagesa, who was already furious, was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder.

"Aizawa Keiko, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lan Zehui looked coldly at Yingzuo. If it weren't for this guy, she wouldn't have had a conflict with Zhao Xuan.

Although Zhao Xuan still spoke to her in a kind and gentle manner, Lan Zehui could clearly sense that Zhao Xuan had become much more distant from her.

Although she was initially at fault, Aizawa Keiko felt that the biggest reason was Kagesa.

None of this would have happened if Yingzuo hadn't come to Shanghai.

If she disregarded the friendship between Yingzuo and her mother, Lanze Huizi would never have allowed Meiji Agency to take Daoya away while they were at Shenjiang University.

Although she only cultivated a good relationship with Dao Ya in order to win over Zhao Xuan.

"Lord Kagesa, please release my sister. Don't make things too ugly!"

Upon hearing this, Haruko Suzuki angrily stood up immediately:

"Lan Zehuizi, don't push your luck. Dao Ya has already been taken away. If you want her back, you should go to Zhao Xuan, not cause trouble in our Mei Agency. Do you really think our Mei Agency is easy to mess with?!"

Aizawa Keiko's expression darkened, and her pretty face instantly paled.
"Who took Dao Ya away?"

Haruko Suzuki chuckled, looking at Keiko Aizawa with a mocking expression:

"There are many here: the Navy, the former agency, the intelligence department of the Military Police Headquarters, and Zhao Xuan is here too. What, when did a Chinese man start keeping a bunch of you lackeys!"

"Damn it!"

Aizawa Keiko ignored Suzuki Haruko and was extremely anxious after learning that Toa had been taken away.

Especially since Zhao Xuan also came, it proved that Zhao Xuan never believed she would come to take Dao Ya back, which was what made Lan Zehuizi most uneasy.

"If Kagesa, Suzuki Haruko, and Toa lose even a single hair, then we'll see what they do next. As for Suzuki Haruko, your words have brought trouble. I'll remember your words, and I hope you can stay this tough!"

"go!"

Kagesa watched expressionlessly as Aizawa Keiko led her people away. Once only the Mei Agency members remained, Kagesa glanced at Suzuki Haruko beside him:
"Chunzi, it's best to be more discreet in Shanghai. I remember, when you were seriously injured and hospitalized last time, it seemed like you offended the original organization?"

Anger surged in Haruko Suzuki's eyes. She would avenge this grudge sooner or later.
"Teacher, I will handle this matter. Moreover, our Mei Agency is no weaker than anyone else. You came to Shanghai late, and in Shanghai, you can't be afraid of any intelligence agency. Otherwise, they will only think you are easy to bully and become even more aggressive."

Kagesa chuckled:
"is it?"

After saying that, Yingzu snorted coldly and turned to walk into the Mei Agency.

On the other side, at 76 Jessfield Road.

After finishing a phone call, Ding Moqun looked at Dao Yan, who was sitting across from him at the desk with a cold expression:
"Xiao Dao, you can rest assured now. Xiao Ya has been rescued by A Xuan and is unharmed."

Dao Yan's expression softened considerably. She stood up, grabbed her coat, and said:

"Uncle, I'll head back now. There's no one left in the telecommunications department. I'm all alone and can't do anything."

Ding Moqun nodded:

"Okay, but come a little earlier tomorrow. The new recruits in the telecommunications department will arrive tomorrow morning, and it wouldn't be good if you, as the department head, didn't come."

"I know, uncle."

Watching Dao Yan leave the office, Ding Moqun rubbed his temples and sighed.
