Chapter 427 Breaking the Game 3
Wang Shuyu's eyes widened, and she nodded in sudden realization:

"I see. As long as Ding Moqun can get the Zhenxingqi Society people on board, even if there are no items for auction, as long as there are photos, the auction can still continue."

"The organization has always been preventing national treasures from falling into the hands of foreigners. In other words, if Ding Moqun makes a fuss about these national treasures, then we're in trouble. Whether it's White Tea, Lark, Hummingbird, or Jon, they probably won't just stand by and watch. They will definitely take action and try every means to pass on the intelligence!"

At this point, Wang Shuyu was already sweating profusely, her voice trembling slightly, and she looked at the morning light and asked softly:

"Chenguang, you just said that the solution to this predicament lies right here. What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Xuan took a deep breath:
"As long as we find the national treasures that are to be auctioned, spread the news, and let the people on the cruise ship know, then Ding Moqun's scheme will fall apart on its own."

"Originally, among the people Ding Moqun cooperated with, the most important were the remnants of the Zhenxingqi Society and Tojo Hideo, who provided protection to the Japanese Navy."

“If we find the national treasures they are going to auction beforehand, once they know this news, the remnants of the Zhenxingqi Society will definitely not be able to bring out the remaining national treasures in their hands.”

"Without these national treasures, the cooperation between Tojo Hideo and Ding Moqun will break down. After others know that these national treasures have been snatched up by someone else, do you think there is any risk of exposure for either our comrades or the Kuomintang?"

After hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Wang Shuyu could only manage a wry smile.

Is this a good idea?
That would be great, but finding those national treasures is a big problem.

Ever since those guys from the Zhenxingqi Society emptied Beiping of its national treasures, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have spent a great deal of manpower and resources searching for clues about these treasures, but have found nothing.

Those guys from the Zhenxingqi Society hid these national treasures far too well and in a very secretive way.

“Chenguang, your idea is good, but you may not know the situation of those national treasures. Our Party has paid a huge price, but so far, all we know is that those national treasures are in the hands of the Zhenxingqi Society, which is lurking in Shanghai.”

"But we have absolutely no clue who knows the whereabouts of the national treasure."

“Even our comrades who have infiltrated the Zhenxingqi Society still haven’t figured out the situation. And now, that comrade has been taken onto the cruise ship. Even if we want to find out information, we can’t find him.”

Zhao Xuan knew that the person Wang Shuyu was referring to was Na Xin, but he had never considered approaching the matter from that angle.

"Fisherwoman, some things and some clues will never be clear without analysis and investigation."

"Judging from the intelligence you just mentioned, you must be extremely good at analyzing and summarizing intelligence. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to so keenly grasp that Ding Moqun's actions this time could seriously damage our party's intelligence network in Shanghai."

Wang Shuyu looked at Zhao Xuan with a face full of doubt:

"Chenguang, do you mean we need to look for clues from multiple sources?"

Zhao Xuan nodded slightly, then spoke:
"Do you think those people from the Zhenxingqi Society would have hidden the national treasures they transported from Beiping in batches from the very beginning?"

Wang Shuyu shook her head:
"Impossible. If they are hidden in batches, the concealment will not be as good. Although hiding in batches can reduce the risk of being caught in one fell swoop, it will also leave a lot of traces."

"Our initial intelligence indicated that the Zhenxingqi Society members came directly to Shanghai after withdrawing from Beiping. At that time, the Zhenxingqi Society had no foothold in Shanghai. If they wanted to hide in batches, they certainly wouldn't have escaped the eyes of the Green Gang."

"But to this day, there are still no clues about those national treasures. This means that before Zhenxingqi Society moved to Shanghai, it had already found a hiding place, and there should only be one place."

At this point, Wang Shuyu suddenly understood why Zhao Xuan had brought this up. In an instant, Wang Shuyu was incredibly excited. Sure enough, as long as it was Chenguang, there seemed to be no problem that couldn't be solved.

"I see!"

"Chenguang, do you mean that since the Zhenxingqi Society has cooperated with Ding Moqun, they must have already secretly smuggled out the national treasures to be auctioned?"

"Once the auction is over, Ding Moqun, or rather, Tojo Hideo who provided them with protection, will be able to get those national treasures that were separated from the Zhenxing Qishe."

"But the Shanghai of today is not the Shanghai of the past. So, once the Zhenxing Flag Society sends a batch of national treasures to another hiding place, it will be impossible for them to leave no clues as they did back then."

Zhao Xuan smiled and nodded:
"That's right. So now, what we need to do most urgently is to find clues from all kinds of intelligence about how Zhenxingqishe transported the national treasures."

"Of course, finding clues from a massive amount of intelligence is a huge undertaking; you can think of it as big data analysis."

Wang Shuyu felt somewhat desperate. She had come up with a solution, but after a moment's thought, she felt hopeless.

Because there is simply not enough time.

Seeing through Wang Shuyu's thoughts, Zhao Xuan said with a smile:

“I will take care of this matter and give you the results before noon tomorrow. But the rest is up to you. I have urgent business to attend to and need to leave Shanghai for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuyu was stunned, and at the same time felt a little disappointed.

Surprisingly, Chen Guang was confident that he could analyze the location of the batch of national treasures that Zhenxingqi Society had transferred out before noon tomorrow. Disappointingly, Chen Guang was leaving Shanghai, and in such a hurry.

Wang Shuyu became extremely nervous because Chenguang said that the rest of the matter could only be handled by them. Wang Shuyu was afraid that she would mess things up, let down Chenguang's expectations, harm those comrades, and cause these national treasures to fall into the hands of the Japanese.

In that case, Wang Shuyu wouldn't know how to apologize.

Looking at the changes in Wang Shuyu's eyes, Zhao Xuan could guess what Wang Shuyu was thinking without even needing to switch to dialysis mode.

"Don't be afraid. You are also very capable in command and dispatch. I have also been paying attention to the situation at Guanghua Bookstore. You are now Secretary Sun's strategist. Have confidence. Some things are not as difficult as you imagine. In short, I trust you!"

Wang Shuyu parted her red lips slightly, looking at Chen Guang in disbelief. She hadn't expected that Chen Guang was also paying attention to her.

Looking into the gentle, trusting gaze of the morning light, Wang Shuyu felt as if she had gained boundless strength and instantly became confident.

"Comrade Chenguang, I will definitely complete this mission!"

After saying that, Wang Shuyu bit her red lips, looking rather embarrassed and shy, and said:
"Um, Comrade Chenguang, if I complete this task, could you..."

Seeing Wang Shuyu lower her head, looking embarrassed to continue, Zhao Xuan smiled and said:

"Then wait for me to come back. I will show you my true face then, how about that?"

Wang Shuyu immediately looked up at Zhao Xuan, and sure enough, Chen Guang understood her little thoughts perfectly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" After saying that, Zhao Xuan reminded him:
"Fisherwoman, send your intelligence over as soon as possible. I need information on the major shopping malls' purchases of packaging boxes, and where these boxes were ultimately shipped to, with particular attention to items like cotton."

If you want to transport those national treasures, you naturally have to be very careful to prevent them from being bumped or knocked.

After Zhao Xuan's reminder, Wang Shuyu nodded with some lingering fear, because she now realized that what Chenguang wanted to find was not the batch of national treasures that had been transferred out, but the original location where Zhenxingqi Society had hidden the national treasures.

If Zhao Xuan hadn't reminded her and let her operate it herself, she probably would have gone astray from the very beginning.

"Okay, I will have my comrades from all sides gather and send over this intelligence as soon as possible."

After speaking, Wang Shuyu called Xiao Liuzi in, instructed him to handle the matter, and then looked at Zhao Xuan, who had taken a sip to moisten his throat:

"Chenguang, there's a second thing."

Seeing Zhao Xuan put down his cup, Wang Shuyu said calmly:

"The Japanese's Cage Plan!"

"After the Battle of Zaoyi, the Japanese occupied Yichang and their aggressive sentiments were high. With such great achievements in Central China, the Japanese army planned to blockade our country in North China from three aspects: economy, politics and strategy, to compress and restrict the living space of our party and the Kuomintang."

"In order to carry out this cage plan, the Japanese circulated a large number of unpatriotic overseas Chinese. Among them, a patriotic overseas Chinese named Chen Jiguang, who was also the president of the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association, learned about the Japanese army's plan and brought supplies and led his team back to China to support our party's campaign to break the Japanese army's cage plan."

"Because North China was completely blocked, Mr. Chen could only transport the supplies out from Central China. However, just three days ago, Mr. Chen was arrested by the 76th Division as soon as he arrived in Shanghai and has now been sent to Tilanqiao Prison."

"Putting aside the fact that without Mr. Chen, this batch of supplies would never have reached our Party, we have no choice but to take action because of Mr. Chen's sense of righteousness."

"But Chenguang, you should know very well the situation at Tilanqiao Prison. We simply don't have enough manpower in Shanghai to rescue Mr. Chen unharmed."

Zhao Xuan was quite surprised after hearing Wang Shuyu's words.

Since Chen Jiguang was the president of the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association, his identity must have been known not only by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but also by the Japanese.

Under these circumstances, rescuing Chen Jiguang would be a difficult task, let alone for the underground party members in Shanghai; even Zhao Xuan himself would find it challenging.

Perhaps the Japanese also had their eyes on the supplies brought by Chen Jiguang's team.

But Aizawa Keiko never mentioned this to him. Was she unaware of it, or was she deliberately hiding it from him?
Zhao Xuan felt that the former was the most likely.

After all, if the Special Higher Police could obtain this batch of supplies, the achievement would be no less significant than the negotiations in Yichang and the trip to Harbin to oversee the destruction of the Sheshan virus.

With such merit right before her eyes, Aizawa Keiko couldn't possibly keep it from her.

In other words, Chen Jiguang's arrest by No. 76 was carried out secretly by Ding Moqun. If someone from the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association hadn't contacted the underground party in Shanghai, Wang Shuyu wouldn't have known about it.

If that's the case, why did Ding Moqun transfer people to Tilanqiao Prison? Wasn't that redundant?

Now the entire No. 76 prison is under Ding Moqun's control. Zhao Xuan would rather believe that Chen Jiguang is being secretly imprisoned in No. 76 than believe that Chen Jiguang has been transferred to Tilanqiao Prison.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan looked thoughtfully at Wang Shuyu and asked:
"Can we confirm that Chen Jiguang has really been transferred to Tilanqiao Prison?"

"Furthermore, which forces knew about Chen Jiguang's arrest by the 76th Division? As far as I know, the Special Higher Police were unaware of Chen Jiguang's arrest."

Wang Shuyu looked at Zhao Xuan curiously. She wanted to ask why Zhao Xuan was so sure that the Special Higher Police did not know about Chen Jiguang's arrest.
Suppressing her curiosity, Wang Shuyu frowned slightly and said:

"Chen Jiguang should have been escorted to Tilanqiao Prison."

“We met Chen Jiguang once before Comrade Piaoxue at No. 76. In the dungeon of No. 76, Fan Dingfang took Comrade Piaoxue to bandage Mr. Chen’s wounds.”

"After the bandaging was finished, Fan Dingfang said that keeping him in No. 76 would be risky, and it would be better to get him to Tilanqiao Prison as soon as possible. Not long after Comrade Piaoxue left the dungeon, a group of people wearing hoods were put on a vehicle and sent to Tilanqiao Prison."

“One of the people was dressed the same as Mr. Chen, so we guessed that Mr. Chen must have been sent to Tilanqiao Prison.”

"However, we don't have any people at Tilanqiao Prison. As for whether Mr. Chen is really at Tilanqiao Prison, we really don't know."

Zhao Xuan nodded:

"This matter needs to be investigated immediately. How many more people can you mobilize?"

After a moment of mental calculation, Wang Shuyu said:

“The guerrilla team is currently in Shanghai. We have planned several rescue plans, but after discussing them with Uncle Sun, none of them have been approved.”

Zhao Xuan's lips curled slightly:

"As long as the guerrilla team is there, that's good. Have someone contact them immediately and tell them to wait for me at a Western restaurant near No. 76. I'll go check on Mr. Chen's situation right away. If Mr. Chen is still at No. 76, I'll go see them. If he's not, have them leave at 4 p.m."

"As for the intelligence, send it to me first, and I will come back to retrieve it."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to walk towards the door.

After opening the door, Zhao Xuan turned to look at Wang Shuyu and said:
"Don't rush things. Stay calm, look for weaknesses, and there are always more solutions than problems."

A glint flashed in Wang Shuyu's beautiful eyes, and she nodded with a smile.

After leaving Miao's Restaurant, Zhao Xuan immediately released the nanobugs.

(Edith, send the nanobugs to Unit 76 and search the dungeon to see if Chen Jiguang is inside.)
(Also, contact Lin Jieru!)

(Yes, sir!)

In Shanghai, on Wusong Road, Lin Jieru sat in the back seat of a black Buick sedan, her face streaked with tears. Beside her was Lan Zehuizi, the head of the Special Higher Police Section.

The person driving was Yamayu Kazuo, and Master Niu, disguised as Zhao Xuan, was sitting in the passenger seat.
