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

Chapter 417 Family Talk
This time, the Osaka team used the excuse of setting up a base in Shanghai to transport the equipment over in advance, and even hitched a ride, so they didn't have to pay any transportation fees. In other words, the transportation fees that Toya had promised before have now all ended up in Sakata Gojiro's pocket.

Watching the large weapons and equipment being unloaded from the ship, and seeing military trucks coming and going at the dock, not only the police officers but even Smith was dumbfounded.

Smith now has only one thought: Osaka United is really obsessed with money.

When they were discussing things at the Cathay Hotel, Smith thought Sakata Gojiro was joking.

But today, watching tanks, cannons, and heavy machine guns being unloaded one after another, then loaded onto trucks and driven away, Smith was completely numb.

This is the weaponry and equipment of an entire division.

Tanks and cannons were one thing, but what Smith couldn't understand, and even more unbelievable, was that the Osaka team had even equipped themselves with artillery shells.

Moreover, the configuration is based on a base number.

Smith had seen plenty of arms dealing, but this was the first time he had ever seen it done like this.

Looking at Daoya, whose eyes were gleaming with sharp light, Smith forced a smile and asked:
"Xiaoya, aren't you worried about not being able to sell all these weapons and equipment?"

"These are the most advanced pieces of equipment the Japanese have ever acquired. Not only can they not be sold, but they're also a hot potato. If someone with ulterior motives finds out about them, things could get really messy."

At this moment, Dao Ya's eyes were filled with nothing but money symbols, and she didn't care about anything else.

“Smith, we need to broaden our perspective. You know, I already have so many weapons and equipment, why would I be afraid of people knowing? What I'm afraid of now is people not knowing, not knowing where to start with these weapons.”

"As for your concerns, they are not a problem for me at all. In this world, as long as you have money, you can do things you never even dared to dream of."

Smith swallowed hard; for the first time, he realized that Daoya's audacity was boundless.

Not only did she not try to hide this, but Dao Ya also wanted to make it public knowledge. Seriously, isn't Dao Ya afraid that the Japanese will come after her?
"Smith, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for transporting the goods back from the French Concession dock, I'm afraid I would have had to pay a huge hush money at other docks."

Smith gave an awkward smile. He really wanted to say that if he could, he would also like some hush money!
Smith couldn't even imagine how much hush money Daoya would have to pay to get so much weaponry.

It took from noon to past 4 p.m. for the weapons on the three ships to be transferred.

"Miss Daoya, it's been a while. How are you? Are you satisfied with this batch of equipment?"

As Sakata Sho, who was directing the unloading of weapons, stepped off the ship, Toa greeted him with a smile:

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. But Mr. Sakata, as you know, I took a great risk with all this weaponry. I wonder how you dealt with the mysterious disappearance of this batch of weapons?"

Sakata Sho laughed heartily:
"We naturally have a perfect procedure for dealing with this. In short, you just need to know that this batch of weapons sank into the sea due to improper transportation, and my Osaka Regiment suffered unimaginable losses."

Daoya opened her mouth, but really didn't know how to reply. Goodness, Daoya thought she was bold enough, but compared to the Sakata team, she was still petty!

Shanghai, Fuzhou Road.

After leaving the dead mailbox, Lin Jieru made sure there were no tails before getting into a black Buick sedan parked on the side of the road.

"Teacher, I received it. I didn't expect the organization to send a book."

Zhao Xuan, upon hearing this, took it with great curiosity.

After unwrapping the oil paper and seeing the book, Zhao Xuan immediately switched to scanning and analysis modes.

In dual mode, the contents of each page of the book, written in invisible ink, were already imprinted in Zhao Xuan's mind.

Not long ago, Zhao Xuan heard from Lin Jieru that Hua Xiaonuan, an important member of the Zhenxingqi Society whom Huang Qian had been in contact with, had an older brother who had been missing for many years. The last person he had contacted was Huang Qian's "fiancé," Zhou Hao.

From that time on, Zhao Xuan began to investigate Hua Xiaonuan's brother's situation.

Unexpectedly, the organization acted so quickly, investigating Hua Xiaonuan's brother thoroughly in less than half a month.

“That’s right, it’s what I need. Keep an eye on Huang Qian. Finding the national treasures that Zhenxingqi Society moved away back then won’t be easy. Tell Huang Qian not to worry, the organization is also trying to find a way.”

Lin Jieru blinked, knowing that her teacher was already planning to get involved in this matter.

In Lin Jieru's view, as long as her teacher decides to get involved in a task, there is definitely no task that cannot be completed.

As for Huang Qian, she really needs to be careful. If she continues to be so eager to find out the whereabouts of those national treasures, Lin Jieru is afraid that Huang Qian will unknowingly expose herself.

Evening, Villa No. 3 in the Special Higher Police Apartment Complex on Wusong Road.

The Japanese paid a heavy price in the large-scale operation. Not only did they fail to achieve any of their objectives, but the Mei Agency was also outmaneuvered by Ding Moqun.

The team's pocket formation strategy yielded a significant victory.

The Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy casualties, and Huang Wei's regiment, which participated in the battle, was almost completely wiped out.

Upon learning of this result, Dao Yan went straight to Zhao Xuan's residence after leaving the Mei Agency.

Zhao Xuan waited especially for Dao Ya to come back today, and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the mouthwatering aroma of the dishes.

"Sister is back!"

Daoya happily threw off her coat and skipped towards the kitchen.

Zhao Xuan shook his head and smiled, caught the coat that Dao Ya casually tossed to him, hung it on the coat rack by the door, and then walked over.

Watching Dao Yan busy in the kitchen, and seeing Dao Ya running in and chattering around Dao Yan, while also sneaking a bite to eat.

Having not seen her for more than half a month, Dao Yan also missed her younger sister and her man very much.

"You're all back. Go wash your hands first. The last dish will be ready soon."

At this moment, Dao Yan gave Zhao Xuan the impression of being the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

At the dining table, Dao Ya, her cheeks bulging from eating, blinked at her sister and brother-in-law who were chatting in hushed tones.

"Your uncle should have already talked to you, honey, have you agreed?"

After Dao Yan recounted what Ding Moqun had told her on the way back from the mission, she finished speaking.

Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya confirmed two points.

First, Ding Moqun did not tell Dao Yan the whole truth.

Secondly, all the information Ding Moqun told Dao Yan was before the large-scale sweep began. In other words, Dao Yan is unaware that Ding Moqun knew all along that the hunters had been exposed.

Zhao Xuan nodded slightly:

“Last night, my uncle invited Xiaoya and me to his house for dinner. We chatted in the study, and now I’m certain that the list my uncle has is far more complex than we imagined.” “Furthermore, my uncle didn’t tell you everything.”

Daoya swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, took a sip of water, and nodded repeatedly:
"Sister, Uncle has completely changed now."

As she spoke, Dao Ya repeated everything Ding Moqun had said the previous night.

Dao Yan wasn't surprised after hearing Dao Ya's words.

After all, if Ding Moqun didn't hold back some tricks, he wouldn't be Ding Moqun.

Besides, when Ding Moqun mentioned this matter to Dao Yan, the sweep had not yet begun, and Dao Yan did not immediately agree.

Therefore, Ding Moqun definitely wouldn't reveal everything to Dao Yan.

"In other words, my uncle intends to regain control of 76 and has already reached a cooperation agreement with the original organization!"

Today, Zhao Xuan also investigated some of Ding Moqun's past situation at the Special Higher Police. Based on the information he obtained from Edith, Zhao Xuan roughly understood Ding Moqun's true reliance.

"Rather than saying that my uncle reached a cooperation agreement with the original organization, it would be more accurate to say that Kawashima Yunko, Doi-ma's student, was the real partner of my uncle."

Dao Ya didn't expect her brother-in-law to have investigated this matter today. Although Dao Ya was very busy today, she still managed to find out some things from Nan Ting.

"Sister, you don't know this, do you? Uncle became like this because he was dragged down by Kawashima Yunko."

“I got some information about Kawashima Yunzi from Nan Ting. This Kawashima Yunzi is not simple. Although she is Doi-Yuan’s student, she controls a lot of power. The real controller behind the Youth Union in Manchuria is Kawashima Yoshiko. Moreover, the elite part of this union is just like the people in the Zhenxingqi Society.”

"The original organization suffered heavy losses before, and it was Doi-man who got a batch of new people from Kawashima Yunko. These people were transferred by Kawashima Yoshiko."

“Nan Ting said that Ah Nu from the former Operations Section, Ye Sun from the Telecommunications Section, and Fu Kang from the Logistics Section all have considerable strength. Even if Nan Ting were to face them, she would not be able to win in a short time if she were to fight them bare-handed.”

"According to the investigation I had Nan Ting conduct, Kawashima Yunzi had contacted my uncle a long time ago. I heard that she used her beauty to seduce him and drag him into the mess, causing him to betray the revolution."

Dao Yan was quite surprised to hear this.

After all, the Military Intelligence Bureau knew very little about how Ding Moqun betrayed the Red Party.

Therefore, Dao Yan really doesn't know anything about this aspect.

Now, after hearing what her sister said, Dao Yan felt an intense hatred for Kawashima Yunzi.

The uncle who once doted on them and was respected by the sisters has now become their mortal enemy.

Seeing Dao Yan's angry expression, Zhao Xuan continued:

"Kawashima Yunko was the first person to come into contact with her uncle, and she was also the one who led him down this wrong path. So I speculate that Kawashima Yunko must have known the power of the list in her uncle's possession."

"This is probably why Uncle was able to get Doiyuu to help him this time."

Without the help of the original organization, it would have been absolutely impossible for No. 76 to escape unscathed from the accountability process following the failure of the large-scale cleanup operation.

Ultimately, Ding Moqun's biggest trump card is still that list, or rather, the core part of that list.

Since learning that Ding Moqun possessed this list, Ding Moqun has used it to make numerous political investments.

However, Ding Moqun was indeed cunning; in several investments, he never revealed the core parts of the list.

Based solely on the intelligence that Ding Moqun already knew about the Hunter's exposure, Zhao Xuan was certain that Ding Moqun had more than just the Hunter as a pawn within the underground party; there was at least one more pawn hidden deeper and holding a higher position.

Zhao Xuan had thought of this matter after talking with Ding Moqun last night, and also had Edith report the situation to Xia Gong overnight.

As for the hunter who was exposed, Zhao Xuan is still unsure whether he was found by Xia Gong or whether Ding Moqun deliberately exposed the hunter to abandon him as a pawn.

If it's the latter, then the value of the list in Ding Moqun's hands will probably continue to rise.

Now, Zhao Xuan finally understood why people of Watanabe Kyoko's status were coveting the list in Ding Moqun's hands, and thus infiltrating Ding Moqun's home as maids.

As Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Dao Yan also understood the importance of the list in Ding Moqun's hands.

"So, you agreed to Ding Moqun's request because you wanted that list?"

Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya nodded at the same time.

“If we can’t get close to the core of his plan, we probably will never find that list in our lifetime.”

“My brother-in-law had previously tested my uncle and learned that my uncle had actually memorized the entire list.”

"But looking back now, there are quite a few flaws in it."

Zhao Xuan completely agreed with Dao Ya's words:
"Xiaoya is right. Even if Ding Moqun memorizes the list completely, contacting the core members of the list is definitely not something that can be done with just a code word. For such core personnel, a code word plus a token is needed to truly activate them."

“Especially in organizations like the underground party, each level is connected by a single line of communication. The higher one’s position within the underground party is, the more intelligence one can obtain.”

"If we work backwards from this, Ding Moqun already knew that the undercover agent codenamed Hunter had been exposed, yet Hunter was able to obtain deployment intelligence in the border region. This indicates that Hunter's position was not low."

"And the person who could hand over the intelligence that the hunter exposed to Ding Moqun would only have a higher position within the underground party, or even hold an important position in the Red Party's base area."

"If the underground party is in such a state, the Military Intelligence Bureau will probably have no shortage of key figures on Ding Moqun's list as well."

Dao Yan nodded in realization:

"In that case, we not only need the list, but also the token."

“That’s right, so we must join Ding Moqun’s plan.”

After finishing their conversation, Dao Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

I initially thought Ding Moqun was simply driven by ambition, but I never imagined that what supported his ambition was so important.

Based on what Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya said, Kawashima Yunzi must know the value of the list in Ding Moqun's hands.

On second thought, Dao Yan now understood why Watanabe Kyoko had infiltrated the Ding family in the first place.

After discussing Ding Moqun, Zhao Xuan's expression turned serious.

"Xiaoya, Ayan, what I'm about to tell you is very important, and also extremely dangerous."
