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

Chapter 75: Wealth [1400 follow-up reading plus more first order request]

"Sir, through today's search, we can confirm that John is hiding in the French Concession."

"No. 76 is different from us after all. They may not go all out."

"So I think that since we are sure that John is in the French Concession, we still need to take action ourselves. This way, we can find John in the shortest possible time to avoid any complications."

"After all, the agents of the Military Control Commission and the Red Party are now searching for John all over the Magic City."

Iida Koji stroked the two small mustaches on his mouth, thought for a few seconds with wise and deep eyes, and then nodded slowly:
"Well, then, Matsumoto-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

Ichiro Matsumoto raised two fingers and waved them, and his adjutant Tanaka Nobuyuki immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it respectfully to Iida Koji's secretary.

After a while, Iida Koji finished reading the document and asked with a frown:

"Is this true? One million dollars in deposit in a Swiss bank. Can we get this money?"

Ichiro Matsumoto nodded with a sinister look in his eyes, and said with a little excitement:
"As long as we operate properly and find Mr. Adam who has the combination and the key to the safe, the money will naturally be ours."

"Besides, we can also take this opportunity to find John."

As soon as Ida Koji thought of the million-meter sword, he nodded and agreed:

“What’s the action plan?”

Ichiro Matsumoto took the other document directly from Tanaka Nobuyuki's hand, walked up and respectfully handed it to Koji Iida.

"General Iida, this is the plan made by Mrs. Watanabe. Please take a look at it!"

"Oh, Kyoko Watanabe? She's actually involved too. Looks like this million-meter sword will be ours soon."

After reading the plan, Iida Koji's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes seemed to be burning with the fire of war, looking straight at Matsumoto Ichiro:
"Such a plan is too bold, but once implemented, we do have enough reasons to intervene in the French Concession."

“It just seems a little rough to find Adam and John.”

Ichiro Matsumoto immediately bowed and said:
"Hi!"

"This is the initial plan made by Mrs. Watanabe. She is unable to go to Huizhong Hotel to personally direct the plan for some reason."

"But General, John is our first target."

"As long as we confirm that John is not in the Huizhong Hotel, we will be able to find him more easily after we intervene in the French Concession."

"Similarly, if John is at the Huizhong Hotel, we can kill two birds with one stone."

Iida Koji stood up and patted Matsumoto Ichiro on the shoulder:

"Matsumoto-kun, I'll leave this matter to you. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

Chinese food department of Huizhong Hotel.

After Dao Ya pulled Zhao Xuan over, she introduced Zhao Xuan to the teachers and classmates. As for Dao Ya, they naturally would not object to bringing someone over to have a meal together.

Putting aside Dao Ya's family background, just based on her academic performance, she still has a very high prestige among her classmates.

The teacher naturally likes Dao Ya as a student.

So everyone was very polite to Zhao Xuan, who was invited by Dao Ya. Especially when they knew that Zhao Xuan was Dao Ya's brother-in-law, they became even more enthusiastic.

Zhao Xuan was unable to refuse the invitation, so he sat down and chatted briefly with Dao Ya's teacher, then waited quietly for the waiter to serve the food.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan didn't want to talk, everyone stopped chatting with him and started sharing their work experience today.

Dao Ya also explained to everyone that her brother-in-law was not a talkative person and asked everyone to be more tolerant.

However, after Zhao Xuan released the dialysis mode, the range was ten meters, and this table was right next to the corridor.

Amid the originally noisy voices, Zhao Xuan quickly locked onto one and his mind instantly focused.

(【Japanese】For the sake of the empire, I have no choice but to sacrifice you. I'm sorry, Kamimura-kun!)

Zhao Xuan was shocked. What conspiracy was this little Japanese devil planning?
Sacrifice Kamimura-kun?
Zhao Xuan glanced at him from the corner of his eye and confirmed who had overheard his thoughts and who the Kamimura-kun he was talking about was.

Scan Mode
(Nanzo Mingwu, male, 35 years old, Japanese, staff member of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.)

(Kamimura Heiji, male, 40 years old, Japanese, head of the commercial group of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai)

If an employee wants to kill a team leader, this must be an order from his superiors.

Looking at the table they were heading towards, Zhao Xuan retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Dao Ya who was chatting with her classmates beside him:
"Xiaoya, I'm going to the bathroom."

Dao Ya turned around, looked at Zhao Xuan and nodded with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, please come back quickly. The dishes have already been served. After dinner, we will go to the dance hall. Brother-in-law, you must not go without me!"

Zhao Xuan said indifferently, "We'll talk about it when the time comes," then stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Not getting a definite answer, Dao Ya wrinkled her nose and glared at Zhao Xuan's back.

"Xiao Ya, your brother-in-law has such a cold personality!"

"That's right, I don't even dare to talk to him when I see him."

"But I still envy Xiaoya very much. Every afternoon after school, your brother-in-law will drive to pick you up. It's so happy."

Dao Ya felt much better after hearing her classmates' flattery:

"Of course, let me tell you, my brother-in-law."

Zhao Xuan was walking along the corridor towards the bathroom, and his eyes immediately locked onto the seat where Kamimura Heiji was sitting.

After taking a look at the situation around him, Zhao Xuan turned around and saw that Dao Ya was not paying attention to this side. He turned around and went around the pillar, slowly walked to the dining table less than nine meters away from Kamimura Heiji and Nanzō Meigo and sat down.

It’s a bit of a pity that the dialysis mode can only analyze other people’s thoughts. As for what they said, the distance was a bit far, and the noise in the restaurant was a bit chaotic, so Zhao Xuan couldn’t hear it clearly.

But what Zhao Xuan was most concerned about was Nanzō Mingwu's thoughts, and Kamimura Heiji just listened in passing.

After identifying the two targets, Edith automatically filtered out the other surrounding noises.

Of course, if the key words set by Zhao Xuan appear, Edith will still include the voices of people around him.

(Keywords such as: plan, action, target, assassination, transaction, [Japanese], connection, etc.)

Not long after Zhao Xuan sat down, the waiter came over.

However, without waiting for the waiter to ask any questions, Zhao Xuan picked up the menu on the table, ticked it, and handed it over directly.

The waiter smiled, picked up the menu and left without bothering Zhao Xuan again.

(Kamimura-kun, although you are my senior, this is Mrs. Watanabe's order. Don't worry, your sacrifice will be of great value to the empire.)
(But not now, the toxicity will only take effect after we get to the dance hall.)

Mrs. Watanabe?

This must be Kyoko Watanabe!
Zhao Xuan took a deep breath.

He really couldn't understand why he kept running into Watanabe Anko's people wherever he went. Was she really haunting him?

After calming down, Zhao Xuan felt somewhat confused.

What's the point of killing Kamimura Heiji?

Could it be that the Japanese wanted to take advantage of the death of Uemura Heiji to forcefully enter the French Concession, just like the Marco Polo Bridge Incident?
The Japanese really have no psychological burden at all when using this method.

If this is true, then Anko Watanabe's target should also be John.

As long as Kamimura Heiji died, the Japanese would have a reason to intervene, and the French Concession Governor would have to consider the feelings of the Japanese. If he could not withstand the pressure, the blockade of Huizhong Hotel would be inevitable. Once this place was blocked, and John was also in this hotel, the problem would be serious.

No, we must first confirm whether John is in Huizhong Hotel!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Returning to Dao Ya's side, Zhao Xuan did not sit down, but patted Dao Ya's shoulder and said when she turned around:
"Xiao Ya, I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you. I have some work to deal with."

Dao Ya's face fell, but she quickly forced a smile, shook her head and said:
"It's okay, brother-in-law. Go and do what you want. But brother-in-law, do you still want to stay here tonight?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan nod, Dao Ya became happy again:

"Okay, then brother-in-law, come back early when you're done. Remember to call me when you get to your room. I'll be staying in the room next to yours."

After saying that, Daoya hugged the arm of a female classmate:
"Brother-in-law, I'm staying with Senior Sister Mingyan tonight."

The girl called Mingyan looked at Zhao Xuan, smiled and raised her hand and shook it gently:
"Brother-in-law. Oh no, hello, Mr. Zhao. Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoya."

Zhao Xuan nodded, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly had the urge to scan her.

(Liu Mingyan, female, 23 years old, from Longguo, a senior student at Shenjiang University, political inclination: red, fluent in five languages: American, French, Russian and Japanese)

Zhao Xuan smiled at Dao Ya for the last time, then turned around and scanned the people at Dao Ya's table.

My goodness, they all have red political tendencies!

Is this a breach in their lair?!

No wonder Dao Ya’s political inclination is also red. Being with these people all day long, even if she was not red at the beginning, she would gradually become red.

However, Zhao Xuan still admires these college students very much.

When the country is in crisis, most college students really don't fear life or death!

After determining their political inclinations, Zhao Xuan also paid special attention to Dao Ya's teacher.

Unlike these students, this professor has no clear political inclinations.

But these students are red, so there is only one conclusion.

The problem can only lie within Shenjiang University.

Zhao Xuan doesn't have time to take care of these things now.

Anyway, Shenjiang University will not run away, so let’s first find out whether John is in this hotel.

Soon, Zhao Xuan passed by the kitchen.

Zhao Xuan had just taken half a step when he stepped back, looked around, and went straight into the kitchen.

There is no need to go inside. Zhao Xuan came in just on a whim to see if there were any orders for food.

This kind of list is usually placed near the door.

If there is, then look for it according to the order list. This will make the target clearer and the search will be faster.

If not, then Zhao Xuan can only look for it room by room.

Given John's ability to run from Nanjing to Shanghai, it is highly likely that he will not appear in public, so ordering food is a necessary option.

In scanning mode, Zhao Xuan just stood at one side of the door, and after looking left and right, he showed a look of surprise.

"It really does."

"Edith, scan the records!"

After saying that, Zhao Xuan turned and left the kitchen, taking with him a hotel uniform jacket. After finding the elevator, he went straight to the floor where he was staying.

(Sir, the order record has been retrieved for you, the plane scan is completed, and the route planning is successful.)

(Sir, you can follow the route Edith has planned for you and pass through the doors of all the customers who have ordered food in the shortest time.)
The corners of Zhao Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. Edith was indeed a powerful assistant.

Following the route planned by Edith, Zhao Xuan walked quickly in the corridor of the accommodation area.

With scanning mode and dialysis mode, every time you pass through a door, you can see the information of the residents there.

After roughly confirming half of the people who had placed orders along the route, Zhao Xuan paused and stopped at the door of Room 408.

(Joseph, male, 52 years old, American, a follower of Jesus, a missionary, his real name is "John Mickey".)

"call--"

After letting out a long breath, Zhao Xuan showed a relaxed smile on his face.

Zhao Xuan suppressed his excitement, changed into the hotel's uniform jacket, and walked to the door.

Ding-dong-

"Mr. Joseph, the food you ordered has been delivered."

In the dialysis mode's perspective, Zhao Xuan watched John walking towards the door with a haggard face.

Seeing John observing through the peephole, Zhao Xuan chose a position where only his upper body could be seen, allowing John to confirm his identity as a "waiter".

Click~
The door opened and a gun was pointed at John's head.

"Shh-"

Zhao Xuan gestured to John to keep quiet with a smile on his face. After pushing open the door, he pointed the gun at John and backed away. The moment he entered the room, Zhao Xuan closed the door.

"【English】Who are you?"

"【English】Hello Mr. John, I am here to help you. You are in a very bad situation right now."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan glanced at John, and through the dual detection of scanning and perspective, he quickly locked onto the film hidden in the lining of John's clothes.

Looking at John who was full of vigilance, Zhao Xuan pointed at the chair and motioned him to sit down first.

After John sat down, Zhao Xuan pointed the gun at his head and slowly walked behind John:

"Mr. John, I know you understand Chinese."

"Time is running out and I don't know how to explain it so that you will believe it, so, I'm sorry!"

Snapped--

Zhao Xuan knocked John unconscious with a knife. Seeing John about to collapse, Zhao Xuan hurriedly helped him to the bed and took off his suit jacket where the film was hidden.

Soon, Zhao Xuan took out the film:
"Edith, scan the records and save the data."

(Understand sir!)

(Scanning completed, storage completed, sir, do you want to take a look?)
Thinking of the indignant and horrifying scene in Nanjing, Zhao Xuan clenched his fists and finally shook his head:
"Don't look at it."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan carefully put away the film and woke up John.

The first thing John noticed when he woke up was a tear on his suit:
"no!!!"

"Who are you? Why did you do this? Those are all evidences!"

Zhao Xuan looked at John with sincere eyes and gratitude and nodded.
