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

Chapter 444 Transfer Order
"But based on my understanding of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it's impossible for them to have only one plan for a goal like the Peace Conference."

Sun Jianzhong agreed, saying:

"That's right, those old foxes from the Military Intelligence Bureau aren't so easy to deal with."

"In other words, besides the location of the hidden explosives that the bugle call told us to provide, the Military Intelligence Bureau likely had another group of people also transporting explosives to Shanghai?"

Wang Shuyu thought about it more and more and felt that this possibility was very high:
"I feel that this is very likely, and even Comrade Hao Sheng is unaware of this backup plan of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"However, these are all just our guesses. And for now, there's nothing we can do but wait for news and have the comrades who are supposed to be there wait at the safe house. Once Hummingbird and the others can no longer hide, they will definitely retreat to the safe house."

"That's all we can do. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to Jon."

Mountain City, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

After reading the review report in his hand, Boss Dai looked up at Shen Xing:

"Third brother, is this the result of the investigation of Li Zhenzhen and the others?"

Shen Xing said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Director. The reason they were given special treatment while they were in Tilanqiao Prison was because of Young Tiger's connections. It can be confirmed that none of them betrayed us."

"Now is the time when we need talent, and it would be a waste to keep them sitting on the sidelines."

Boss Dai sighed. He knew these people's abilities well. If it weren't for the need to infiltrate the Mei Agency with Wang Bentian, Boss Dai would never have been willing to sacrifice them.

But now that they've returned safe and sound, Boss Dai is at a loss as to what to do next.

"Director, I know what you're worried about. How about this, we put them under the commander's command? Firstly, to keep the commander in check, and secondly, to have them carry out some missions with the commander."

"After Yichang fell, the Japanese infiltration of the mountain city became more serious and frequent. The people in the action department were extremely busy. If it weren't for the commander's help, the situation would probably be even more critical now."

"Of course, everything is still up to the Director."

After thinking for a moment, Boss Dai also felt that this was the only way to handle it.

The conductor is currently relatively stable, but that's what Mr. Dai is worried about.

The conductor has been too calm lately, which is not a good sign.

"Alright, then we'll do as you say and send Li Zhenzhen, Sun Dong, and Wang Zhi to her command."

"Yes!"

After resolving this matter, Boss Dai's gaze sharpened slightly as he stared at Shen Xing and said:
"The principal has given a firm order to the Japanese-led peace conference: it must not be held normally and must be sabotaged."

"The fall of Yichang was already a huge blow to the morale of our army. If the peace conference is held smoothly, many people will probably believe the nonsense of the Wang Jingwei regime about saving the country through indirect means."

"In addition, the Japanese side promoted the young tiger's rank yesterday, which is obviously a low-level tactic of the Japanese to win people's hearts. If the Japanese add fuel to the fire at the peace conference, the joke will be too big."

"Therefore, in any case, the peace conference can only end in failure. Otherwise, even if we apologize to the principal, we will not be able to atone for our sins."

Shen Xing nodded and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Director. Everything is arranged at the Shanghai station. I just received a secret telegram from Fu Zhengguo. The Japanese have been fully mobilized. However, Fu Zhengguo suspects that the Japanese's strange targeting this time may have ulterior motives."

Boss Dai said with a half-smile:
“From the moment Fu Zhengguo formulated this plan, we began preparing two sets of plans.”

"Judging from the current situation, the preparations at that time were not meaningless. This time, the Japanese are obviously planning to turn the tables on us."

"However, the Shanghai station is likely to suffer heavy losses this time."

Shen Xing shook his head and said:

"Director, there's a reason why Director Chen chose Fu Zhengguo. Besides, Zheng Yi is also by Fu Zhengguo's side. They should be able to see through the Japanese conspiracy."

There will be losses, but I estimate they won't be too significant.

"Isn't that why the Director sent Zheng Yi to Shanghai in the first place?"

Boss Dai laughed heartily:

"The explosives on Fu Zhengguo's line have probably been targeted by the Japanese. Even if they are transported to Shanghai, they probably won't be of much use."

"Therefore, whether the Peace Conference can be disrupted depends entirely on Seventh Brother's side."

"Third brother, you know seventh brother, what do you think he's doing right now?"

Shen Xing pondered for a moment and then smiled:
"The Po Jun Squad under Lao Qi's command is the elite of the elite. I estimate that Lao Qi has already led the Po Jun Squad into Shanghai by now."

"Moreover, with Lao Qi's connections, getting a batch of high explosives would be a piece of cake. By now, the explosives have probably already been secretly transported into Shanghai."

After listening, Boss Dai said with some unease:
"Seventh Brother is steady and reliable, so I'm not worried about that. However, that matter from back then still hasn't been fully investigated."

Shen Xing was stunned, his brows furrowed as he looked at Boss Dai:

"Is the Director suspecting Seventh Brother?"

Boss Dai waved his hand:

"Don't doubt people who are suspicious of you, don't doubt those who are employed."

Shen Xing didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Boss Dai's words.

If Boss Dai truly trusted Lao Qi, he should have handed over command of the Shanghai station to Lao Qi when Lao Qi set off for Shanghai.

Although Lao Qi has an elite Po Jun squad under his command, in a place like Shanghai, it is really difficult to leverage the power of just a few elites.

"Don't worry, Director, I will keep a close eye on Lao Qi's movements."

After tidying up the documents on his desk, Boss Dai looked up at Shen Xing and said with a smile:

"I already said I don't doubt Seventh Brother. Since you're worried, then keep an eye on him."

Shen Xing's lips twitched. Who exactly is worried?

Meanwhile, on Wutong Road in Shanghai, near the French Concession, in a garden villa.

Xie Zhizhu, the seventh-ranking member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, sat upright on the sofa, drinking coffee and listening to his students' reports.

"Teacher, the Japanese have already entered the French Concession, but three squads of the Military Police Headquarters are still guarding the entrances and exits of the French Concession, allowing entry but not exit."

"Based on our previous calculations, our colleagues at Shanghai Station probably won't be able to hold out for long."

Xie Zhizhu put down his coffee cup and looked expressionlessly at Song Zihao, who was reporting to him.

Song Zihao is the captain of the Po Jun Squad. He is strong and has excellent marksmanship. He was trained and cultivated by Xie Zhizhu, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is Xie Zhizhu's last disciple.

"Zihao, you must remember, never underestimate anyone, especially this person who was left behind by that old bastard Chen Chuyin."

"Although the Japanese have gone to great lengths this time, in my opinion, it is just a meaningless action."

"The station manager of Shanghai Station is not as simple as you think."

"Now, keep a close eye on the movements of the Shanghai station, especially on the station manager, Fu Zhengguo. Here's his photo. Pass the order down to everyone to keep a close watch." Song Zihao took the photo and looked at Xie Zhizhu with considerable confusion.
"Teacher, what does this mean?"

"You suspect that Station Chief Fu has a problem?"

Xie Zhizhu squinted slightly and said in a low voice:

"I remain suspicious of anyone who wasn't personally trained by me."

Song Zihao nodded in understanding and respectfully left the room.

Not long after Song Zihao left, Bai Yanzhi walked in.

She is the only female member of the Po Jun Squad, and also the most venomous Black Widow among Xie's assistants.

"Teacher, the task you assigned has been completed. Chen Yibo, whom we hadn't had a chance to take away before, has completely defected."

"This guy is smart too, he turned his fake identity into a real one. However, with the peace conference approaching, Chen Yibo's power is growing, and I think his defection is quite questionable. Teacher, what can we trust about such a fickle person?"

Xie Zhizhu looked at Bai Yanzhi with a smile and said in a gentle tone:
"Everyone has their own unique way of being used. Now that we've got Chen Yibo on our side, what about Su Wen?"

Upon mentioning Su Wen, Bai Yanzhi immediately smiled:

"This guy is even worse than Chen Yibo."

"They can turn a fake into a real one, but Su Wen, the real mayor of Shanghai, was almost sidelined by a fake Chen Yibo."

"Of course, Su Wen has also been dealt with. Dealing with him was not difficult at all."

"Teacher, now that I've finished all these things, what should I do next?"

Xie Zhizhu nodded in satisfaction; he wasn't worried about Bai Yanzhi's abilities at all.

"Is the explosives ready?"

Bai Yanzhi nodded:

"Don't worry, teacher. Chen Yibo and Su Wen have both provided me with a location to hide the explosives. However, I have placed the explosives in another place. According to previous calculations, the Peace Conference is most likely to be held in northern Shanghai. I have already put the explosives in an underground warehouse in Zhabei."

"That was secretly built by the teacher when he was in charge of the youth training class in Shanghai. No one will find out."

Xie Zhizhu laughed:
"Okay, go and inform Chen Dongfang that we should make use of the last bit of warmth left at Shanghai Station."

"Also, find someone to contact Yu Mao and Jin Mao Shu. They've been staying at Shanghai Station for so long that they didn't even know I, their teacher, was here. Their vigilance has deteriorated to such an extent that I'd like to send them back to school for retraining!"

Bai Yanzhi's eyes lit up. She had always heard that her teacher had trained two students in his early years, but she had never had the chance to meet them. This time, Bai Yanzhi wanted to see for herself just how capable the Imperial Cat and the Golden-haired Rat really were.
A photo studio on Fuzhou Road in Shanghai.

Huo Junhua had just arranged for someone to deliver a batch of goods back.

Liao Yurong had just finished her business at the shop when she saw Huo Junhua enter with a serious expression. Liao Yurong quickly closed the shop door and went upstairs with Huo Junhua.

"Old Huo, what's going on? You look so pale."

Huo Junhua took out a piece of paper from his trench coat pocket, on which was drawn a sharp sword.

Upon seeing this mark, Liao Yurong's pupils contracted slightly:
"The teacher has come to Shanghai?"

Huo Junhua nodded:

"He must be here. This peace conference led by the Japanese has even drawn him out."

Liao Yurong sighed:
"Old Huo, he has always been our teacher. Without him, we would not be alive today."

Huo Junhua snorted coldly, but did not refute.

Huo Junhua will always remember the kindness of being raised and taught.

"Rongrong, get ready, let's go see him. After all these years, his ruthlessness must have only grown."

Liao Yurong smiled helplessly, quickly tidied up, changed her clothes, and went out with Huo Junhua.

Following the signs along the way, the two quickly found Wutong Road.

Just as they entered the garden villa, a figure suddenly attacked.

Huo Junhua and Liao Yurong immediately launched a counterattack, but after a few rounds, they were at a disadvantage.

About a minute later, Huo Junhua was kicked to the ground by the other party, and Liao Yurong was also subdued by a counter-attack.

As Huo Junhua was about to get up, the woman who appeared in front of him, dressed in a white shirt and trousers, with her long hair tied up and bright red lips, pushed Liao Yurong away.

After Huo Junhua got up, he quickly helped Liao Yurong up, while Liao Yurong said sarcastically:

"I thought you were so powerful. After all these years, have you become rusty in your skills, or too lazy? Or has the decadent lifestyle of Shanghai made you lose your willpower?"

"who are you?"

Liao Yurong's strengths lie in intelligence analysis and disguise, and her physical skills are also quite good.

Huo Junhua is a well-rounded talent, but he is more skilled in assassination and direct combat. His hand-to-hand combat skills are only average.

The one who just attacked them was Bai Yanzhi.

Bai Yanzhi dusted off her sleeves and smiled at the two of them, saying:

"Senior brothers and sisters, let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Yanzhi, and I was a student later taken in by our teacher."

Huo Junhua snorted coldly, Bai Yanzhi shrugged, and turned to lead the two of them toward the house at the front.
"Come with me, your teacher has been waiting for you for a long time."

Upon seeing the Imperial Cat and the Golden-haired Rat again in the room, even Xie Zhizhu couldn't help but be moved.

"It seems that you two haven't fallen too far behind over the years, Imperial Cat and Golden-haired Mouse!"

Liao Yurong looked at Xie Zhizhu, whose face looked old, and her eyes were already filled with tears. Even Huo Junhua sighed slightly.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the two bowed slightly to Xie Zhizhu in unison.
"teacher."

Xie Zhizhu got up from the sofa, walked over to the two of them, helped them up, and smiled:
"Alright, I didn't call you here to see you crying, especially you, Jinmaoshu, who's still so sentimental after all these years."

Liao Yurong raised her hand to rub her red eyes, pursed her lips and remained silent. Huo Junhua's expression softened slightly, but his voice was still icy as he asked:
"Teacher, why are you in such a hurry to find us? Is there some task for you?"

"Now that we're under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai station, I'm afraid the teachers can't overstep their authority and let us carry out these orders, right?"

Xie Zhizhu glared at Huo Junhua:
"Bastard!"

"After all these years, you're still grieving for your brother? His death was his own choice. What, you think it's the teacher's fault?"

"Also, the reason I called you here today is not to have you take my orders, but simply to tell you that the Shanghai station is in imminent danger. Your evacuation route has definitely been arranged. If you don't have enough manpower, I can allocate some of you to meet up with Station Master Fu and the others. That's all."

"What, you two thought I called you here to bring you back? If that's the case, what's in front of you is the Director's transfer order!"
