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

Chapter 423 Accident
It seems that Zhao Xuan just conveyed something to Shen Xing.

sleeve?

Button?
Boss Dai didn't understand any of this, but he kept quiet.

"Secondly, if this negotiation is successful, we will release the Kuomintang agents we previously arrested in Shanghai. I've heard they have quite extraordinary backgrounds. Mr. Dai, why don't you give it a serious consideration?"

Boss Dai frowned. Those people were just expendable pawns; it didn't matter whether he released them or not.

Moreover, if the fact that he was abandoned were to be leaked, who knows what kind of trouble those people would cause.

But Boss Dai couldn't refute Zhao Xuan's words, and he couldn't very well say what he was thinking.

Shen Xing also knew the identities of those people and knew that they were expendable pawns.

At this point, Shen Xing would be extremely willing to exchange them for him.

Regardless of whether they were abandoned by Boss Dai, they were still members of the Military Intelligence Bureau and made countless contributions to the Bureau.

Wang Bentian has successfully infiltrated the Mei Agency. If these people can return, there will be no need for unnecessary sacrifices.

"You have absolutely no sincerity!!"

The Kuomintang major general was so angry he almost slammed his fist on the table.

If I were to accept those compensations, although I would have fulfilled the task assigned by the Chairman, with so much compensation, I would definitely be punished by the Chairman when I returned, and it would be uncertain whether I could keep my military rank.

Nagahira Shigeru glanced at Zhao Xuan with a smile. He hadn't expected the Special Higher Police to be so assertive. When Aizawa Keiko spoke just now, Nagahira Shigeru thought they were going to make concessions.

Yichang was won by their 39th Division through bloody battles. Of the compensation, 10% was to be given to them, so Changping Maocai refused to budge. After all, the more the total amount was, the more 10% would be.

Upon hearing this, Lan Zehui raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything more. Since she had entrusted the matter to Zhao Xuan, Lan Zehui couldn't interrupt, as that would undermine Zhao Xuan's prestige.

Lan Zehui brought Zhao Xuan along this time to pave the way for him.

Nagahira Shigeaki didn't care about all that. In his view, Zhao Xuan was one of his own, so how could he let the enemy point his finger at him and curse him?

"Baka!!! If you're not sincere, get out of here right now! If you want to fight, let's keep fighting!!"

Seeing the Kuomintang major general's ashen face, Zhao Xuan waved his hand:

"Changping, please calm down."

"This battle has been going on for more than a month, and both sides have suffered considerable losses. But now, I hope your party can see one thing clearly: Yichang is in our hands."

"Shancheng is difficult to attack because of its advantageous terrain, but as long as Yichang remains in our hands, Shancheng will always be under the Empire's guns. How can any of you sleep at night?"

"Let me reiterate, the compensation cannot be reduced in the slightest. Moreover, we have increased our bargaining power. If your party is still unwilling, then we will have to settle this with our hands."

The Kuomintang major general glared angrily at Zhao Xuan, and before he could say anything, Shen Xing, sitting next to Boss Dai, quickly spoke up:
"We agree to the compensation, but on one condition: it can only be implemented after you return to your original defense zone. This is our bottom line. If you cannot agree to this, then we will have to do as Mr. Zhao says and settle things with our actions!"

Upon hearing this, the Kuomintang major general was so enraged that he almost drew his gun and shot Shen Xing.

But then I thought, wait a minute, it was Shen Xing who agreed, he's a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, not me, so why is he angry?!

In this way, the Chairman's mission is accomplished, and he can also perfectly shift the blame—a win-win situation!
Thinking of this, the Kuomintang major general kept a cold face and didn't say anything more, but he was secretly overjoyed.

What does the amount of compensation have to do with him? He only cares about his own future.

Now that someone is protecting him, he's overjoyed, but he can't show it too obviously. He still has to maintain an angry expression and express his most indignant attitude towards Shen Xing's words.

Boss Dai gasped. He hadn't expected Shen Xing to say something like that. Did Shen Xing trust Zhao Xuan too much?

He had seen the list of compensations; if it really came to fruition, it would be a death sentence for the Chairman.

But why did Shen Xing agree? Why did he trust Zhao Xuan so much? And what exactly did Zhao Xuan convey to Shen Xing that made him agree so readily? Could it be that Zhao Xuan was certain the Japanese would go back on their word?

"I didn't expect that there would still be some sensible people in your Kuomintang."

Hearing Zhao Xuan's mocking words and seeing his sarcastic expression, Boss Dai kept a cold face, while Shen Xing smiled obsequiously and said:

"Now that the negotiations have been concluded, when will your side withdraw its troops?"

The KMT major general and Boss Tai both perked up; that's the most important thing.

But Zhao Xuan shook his head and laughed:
"Sir, didn't you understand what I just said? I said I had three demands. I only mentioned two of them. There's still one last one I haven't said. Since you haven't fully agreed to our demands, the negotiations are not over yet."

Nagahira Shigeru turned his head to look at Zhao Xuan in disbelief. What was this horseman up to? He had finally gotten the Kuomintang to agree to the compensation, but there was another requirement. How come he didn't know about it?
Just as the three members of the Kuomintang party turned serious, Aizawa Keiko took out a document and handed it to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan glanced at it and handed it directly to the Kuomintang major general. After the three men's eyes fell on the document, Zhao Xuan said simultaneously:
"Normally, negotiations shouldn't have happened, but sometimes things just happen by chance."

"According to my Special Higher Police investigation, the strategic plan for the Zaoyi Campaign was completely leaked from the very beginning. Your party really has a lot of talent, even able to steal such a top-secret military plan."

"There's no other way. Since the plan has been leaked, we can only end this war through negotiations."

"Of course, don't think that we have no chance of winning just because the battle plan has been leaked. After all, Yichang is already ours now."

"This shows that even if the battle plan is leaked, the warriors of my empire can still overcome all obstacles."

"Furthermore, now that we know the plan has been leaked, if we are to continue fighting, do you think we will still follow the battle plan?"

Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, the Kuomintang major general's gaze towards Boss Dai and Shen Xing became much sharper, and he was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Especially after seeing so many coincidences listed in the document, and the final conclusion, the Kuomintang major general was about to completely believe Zhao Xuan's words.

If Zhao Xuan is lying, then what about these coincidences?

Besides, there aren't that many coincidences in this world!

Boss Dai's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Could it be that Zhao Xuan is about to reveal his true colors?"
Shen Xing completely trusts Zhao Xuan. When Zhao Xuan conveyed to him that he agreed to the Japanese side's demands, he also conveyed the idea of ​​reconciliation with Boss Dai.

Zhao Xuan agreed at the time.

Although the situation has changed somewhat, Shen Xing believes that since his student has agreed, he will definitely not bring up the matter of Changdian again.

Seeing the three Kuomintang members fall silent, Zhao Xuan smiled and continued:

"I'm bringing this up now not to prove anything, but simply to express my admiration for the abundance of talent in your party. At the same time, I find it unbelievable that you all knew our entire plan, so why did we suffer such a defeat in the Battle of Zaoyi? Were we simply incompetent?"

The Kuomintang major general was nearly driven mad with rage. He was furious; if these Military Intelligence Bureau guys had the enemy's complete plan, why did they always report the Japanese army's actions bit by bit, like squeezing toothpaste? If they had submitted everything from the beginning, not only would Yichang have been lost, but Zaoyang wouldn't have fallen either. They could even have used this information to teach the Japanese a painful lesson.

But now, because of the Military Intelligence Bureau's foolish decisions, the enemy has mocked us to this extent.

Although the Kuomintang major general felt that this was an attempt by the enemy to sow discord within their ranks.

However, they can also find these coincidences in the documents provided by the other party, and it wouldn't be too difficult to verify the authenticity of the contents of the documents.

The Kuomintang major general almost believed Zhao Xuan's words. At this moment, he felt only deep dissatisfaction and hatred towards the Military Intelligence Bureau. He had decided that he must report the situation to the military headquarters and the General Staff after returning, and make those idiots in the Military Intelligence Bureau pay the price!
Seeing the three Kuomintang members sitting opposite him turn pale and then flushed, Zhao Xuan maintained his warm smile and said softly:

"Alright, my third request is, well, it's not really a request. The matter is already clear. If you can find out the results and let us know, that would be great. If you can't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this battle is over."

"As for whether you can steal my empire's secrets again, to be honest, it's not important. After all, the facts are there. What does it matter if the secrets are stolen?"

After hearing this, Nagahira Shigeru burst into laughter.

After hearing Zhao Xuan's previous words, he was furious that the entire battle plan for the Zaoyi Campaign had been leaked. He was cursing the intelligence department in the rear for being full of incompetent bastards.

But now, Nagahira Shigeru felt that this was probably a divisive tactic by the Special Higher Police, which not only created discord between the Kuomintang military and intelligence departments, but also dampened their morale.

Especially Zhao Xuan's last sentence: "Even if you steal my empire's confidential information, the final result will be the same."

Nothing is more insulting than these words, especially when the other party is a soldier.

At this moment, Aizawa Keiko also spoke up:
"Now that the terms have been agreed upon, let's conclude this negotiation here."

"Lord Changping, order the troops to withdraw immediately to show our sincerity."

"see a visitor out!!!"

The three were watched by Japanese soldiers as they left. Only after they got into the car did the Kuomintang major general angrily reach out of the car window, point at Boss Dai and Shen Xing, and say:
"You agreed to such an outrageous demand from the Japanese army, and your Military Intelligence Bureau even dared to conceal important intelligence. I will definitely report this to the Chairman when I get back, hmph!"

After saying that, the Kuomintang major general ordered the driver to start the car.

Watching the car speed away, Boss Dai's pent-up doubts and anger finally erupted:
"Third brother, what exactly is going on?"

What does "young tiger" mean?

Shen Xing shook his head with a wry smile:
"Director, during the negotiations, Young Tiger gave me a hint that we could agree to all of the Japanese's demands in this negotiation."

"I have complete trust in the tiger cubs."

Boss Dai snorted coldly, staring intently at Shen Xing without saying a word. After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Xing calmed himself down and said:

"Director, as for the document that Young Tiger finally produced, you were probably too surprised at the time to notice that all the contents of the document corresponded to the telegram Young Tiger sent. Didn't I just show that telegram to you last night?"

Shen Xing knew the contents of that long telegram by heart, if not by heart.

Every time Boss Dai went to report military intelligence, Shen Xing took notes and supplemented the telegrams. It can be said that Shen Xing's act of mending the fence after the sheep were lost was flawless.

After thinking about it carefully, Boss Dai realized that it was indeed true!

With this in mind, Boss Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"call--"

"It seems that Young Tiger has some important intelligence, otherwise he wouldn't have concluded that even if the negotiations are completed, there's no way he'll actually pay compensation!"

"It's impossible for the Japanese army to have just withdrawn from Yichang today and then attack again tomorrow, right?"

Shen Xing frowned in thought, and after listening to Boss Dai's words, he said in a serious tone:

"Director, you know what, it's not impossible!"

Boss Dai was completely bewildered:
"But what were the Japanese army's motives in doing this?"

Shen Xing shook his head with a wry smile. Now all he could do was wait and see what information the young tiger hadn't yet given them.

A dozen minutes later, Japanese soldiers escorted three people from Yichang City to Boss Dai and Shen Xing.

"As instructed by Section Chief Lan Ze, these three people were returned."

After saying this, the Japanese lieutenant who was escorting the three men waved his hand and led his men back to Yichang.

The three, who had been reunited with the world, were deeply moved to see that Boss Dai and Shen Xing were actually waiting for them there in person.

"Director Shen, Director Shen!"

Boss Dai nodded with a gloomy expression, while Shen Xing smiled at the three of them.

"Alright, get in the car first, and tell me about your experiences after being arrested on the way."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenzhen frowned slightly. What happened after her arrest?

Shouldn't we be asking why they were arrested, whether it was due to a leak or something else?

With a mix of doubt and trepidation, Li Zhenzhen first followed Shen Xing and Boss Dai into the car parked in the middle, while Wang Zhi and Sun Dong went to the car at the front.

The car started and returned to the mountain city.

On the way back, the Nationalist army had already dispatched the 18th Army to take over Yichang.

Inside the car, it was quiet for a while. Boss Dai and Shen Xing saw that Li Zhenzhen was not acting strangely, which meant that Zhao Xuan had not exposed his identity and had asked them to send back the intelligence.

Therefore, Shen Xing naturally couldn't steer the conversation in that direction.

Seeing Li Zhenzhen fidgeting in the passenger seat, Shen Xing in the back seat smiled and asked:

"Li Zhenzhen, tell me and the bureau chief what happened after you were arrested."

Li Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still puzzled as to why they had to talk about what happened after their arrest. Did Boss Dai and Director Shen suspect that they had betrayed their cause?

However, when Shen Xing asked her questions, Li Zhenzhen suppressed her doubts and recounted everything that had happened after her arrest.

Li Zhenzhen made no secret of the fact that she escaped with her life in Sheshan and received special treatment at Tilanqiao Prison.
