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

Chapter 429 Mercy
Xie Biran shook his head with a wry smile:
"Third Master, we are all working for the Director and are loyal to him. How could I possibly cause you any trouble?"

“These are indeed Lai Er’s exact words. I could hear the fear in his voice. Third Master, you should come with me. If we run into the other members of the Special Higher Police, they might give us some face if you’re there.”

Zhang Sanjin wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to come and drink with Xie Biran today? Damn it, he's really unlucky!
"Xie Biran, you'd better pray that nothing happens. We can't get in touch with the director right now. If things get out of hand, we won't be able to handle it."

Outside the gate of No. 76, at the entrance of a shop that specializes in selling cigarettes, Zhao Xuan, disguised, leaned against the window, lit a cigarette, and silently looked at the location of the gate of No. 76.

Zhao Xuan has been here for about six minutes, and three minutes ago, he had already used nanobugs to explore all the dungeons in room 76.

As expected, Chen Jiguang was still imprisoned in the dungeon, and the "Chen Jiguang" who was previously sent to Tilanqiao Prison was just a smokescreen put out by Ding Moqun.

The fact that Chen Jiguang was secretly arrested further illustrates the immense value of the list in Ding Moqun's possession.

Ding Moqun was the first to know the news, even though other intelligence agencies in Shanghai were unaware of it.

That wasn't all. Ding Moqun was even worried that Chen Jiguang would be kidnapped during the few days he was away from No. 76, so he deliberately used a trick to make people think that Chen Jiguang had been sent to Tilanqiao Prison.

During this period, although No. 76 recruited a large number of people, it couldn't withstand Ding Moqun's expansion of the business too much.

Although a lot of people have been recruited, the internal defenses of No. 76 are now worse than before the recruitment.

Zhao Xuan had already learned about Lai Er and Xie Biran's conversation through the nanobugs.

If Xie Biran and Zhang Sanjin leave with another group of people, the defenses of Unit 76 will become even more strained.

This was the opportunity Zhao Xuan had been waiting for.

Soon, the gates of No. 76 opened, and a convoy of six vehicles drove out.

Zhao Xuan could see clearly that Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran were in the middle car. Now that Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran were in control of No. 76, they could mobilize all their manpower, and they were paying more attention to security when entering and leaving the premises.

Six vehicles were involved, and a total of nearly thirty people left.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth.

Right now, inside No. 76, only the six gatekeepers and the twelve members of the Action Section have guns. The twelve members of the Action Section are currently crammed into the Action Section's break room, playing cards and gambling, making a lot of noise. Even if a gun goes off, Zhao Xuan estimates that those guys won't hear it.

Ma Shangcheng went to Nanjing, and Fan Dingfang followed Ding Moqun onto the cruise ship. Without supervision, how could the people in the Action Section still be conscientiously on duty?

After confirming the situation inside No. 76, Zhao Xuan glanced at his watch. Five minutes after Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran left with their convoy, Zhao Xuan turned and tossed a silver dollar to the tobacco shop owner, then grabbed the phone and dialed:
"Is this the Indol restaurant/bar, where 16 tables of guests can take a phone call?"

The tobacco shop owner looked at Zhao Xuan, who was in disguise, with curiosity. After someone else took the phone, Zhao Xuan spoke, and the owner was so shocked that he took a step back and stared at Zhao Xuan with a look of horror.

"The two useless guys from No. 76 have already left with their men. Now inside No. 76, only the six guards at the door have guns, and there's a group of people in the operations section's break room. Take care of the six at the door, and then deal with the ones in the break room immediately."

"After everything is resolved, go to the room at the very end of the dungeon to rescue the person. The person in that room is Chen Jiguang. You should know what to do next."

"What? Who am I? Oh, I remember now, I forgot to use the password, 9527 Morning Light!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xuan grinned at the shop owner, who was terrified and fell to the ground with a thud, staring blankly as Zhao Xuan turned and walked away with an air of nonchalance.

No. 65 Jessfield Road, Indol Restaurant & Bar.

At the front desk, He Daping, dressed in a black suit, hung up the phone with a twitching smile on his face.

9527 Morning Light!

The code did match, but no matter how He Daping thought about it, he felt that the other party seemed particularly casual. Did they really find out or were they just pretending?
He Daping shook his head, dismissing these inappropriate thoughts, and immediately walked back to table 16.

The other party is Chenguang; how could the information they found be false?

The rest of the guerrilla team gathered around table number 16, and when He Daping returned, all eyes turned to him.

He Daping looked around, nodded slightly, and then turned and went back to the front desk to pay.

The others followed suit, paid their bills, and then all left the restaurant.

In the tobacco shop opposite No. 76, the owner, trembling, peeked half his head out from behind the counter, constantly observing the situation at the entrance of No. 76.

When they saw a large group of people marching towards the gate, the leader drew his sword without saying a word and killed the spy who came out to ask questions. The guerrillas following behind quickly stepped forward and, in the blink of an eye, took down the other five yawning, bewildered spies.

And so, the tobacco shop owner stared wide-eyed as the members of the guerrilla team entered No. 76 with such ease.

Soon, gunshots rang out from inside No. 76. The tobacco shop owner slumped back to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, his soul nearly leaving his body in terror.

Since he opened his tobacco shop here, this was the first time he had ever seen anyone so arrogantly launch a frontal attack on No. 76.

About ten minutes later, the tobacco shop owner couldn't contain his curiosity and peeked out again, watching as the guerrillas escorted a bespectacled, somewhat frail-looking middle-aged man out of the main gate of No. 76.

Only after the group of people disappeared at the end of the street did the tobacco shop owner pat his chest, gasp for breath, and slump to the ground.

Inside room 76, Yang Huamei is still in a daze in the infirmary.

She never expected that today she would see the comrades of the armed work team swaggering into the gates of No. 76, and that their actions were so clear that they first dealt with the spies in the action section's rest room, and then fought their way into the dungeon.

Yang Huamei watched quietly from the half-open window of the infirmary as He Daping led someone out of the dungeon and then swaggered out of the gate of No. 76.

Yang Huamei was certain that the person was Chen Jiguang, whom she had met a few days ago.

It was she who informed Sun Jianzhong that Chen Jiguang was suspected of being sent to Tilanqiao Prison.

Yang Huamei never expected that Chen Jiguang would not only not be sent away, but that the organization somehow got the news and sent comrades from the armed work team to rescue him.

After regaining her senses, Yang Huamei still couldn't quite believe it. She felt that this wasn't how the organization operated; it was just too arrogant.

This is number 76!

The guerrilla team stormed in.

So, there are other people who are working with them!
Thinking of this, Yang Huamei recalled the convoy that had left earlier; those people must have fallen for a diversionary tactic.

Yang Huamei let out a long sigh of relief, still feeling a bit scared.

If the organization hadn't continued its investigation and had instead believed its own intelligence, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

How did the organization find out that Chen Jiguang was still being secretly imprisoned in Dungeon No. 76?

Now that Miao Xue is gone, Yang Huamei has no one to consult with. If Miao Xue hadn't gone to Nanjing, Yang Huamei probably wouldn't have fallen for Ding Moqun's trick.

Although the outcome is good now, Yang Huamei has begun to reflect on herself.

From now on, all intelligence transmitted from me must be handled with utmost care.

"Dr. Yang, what do we do now?"

The still-shaken nurse rushed to Yang Huamei's office to inquire.

Yang Huamei took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and began to arrange for the medical staff to check the injuries and send anyone who could still be saved to the medical room immediately.

At the same time, the intelligence and telecommunications departments also sprang into action.

The gunshots earlier silenced them all, as those left behind were just ordinary clerks who didn't even have sidearms.

Given the circumstances, if they had rushed out, they would have just been feeding bullets, dying in vain, and it wouldn't have changed anything.

Within minutes of the guerrilla team leaving, the entire 76th Division was in complete chaos.

Meanwhile, Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran, who had brought people to Hankou Road, had already arrived at Guanghua Bookstore.

Seeing Guanghua Bookstore surrounded by people from the Special Higher Police's Action Section, Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran's hearts were in their throats.

"You guys wait here."

Zhang Sanjin glanced at the subordinates they had brought and compared their strength with that of the Special Higher Police; the disparity was enormous.

The other side was well-trained, while most of their men were newly recruited, with only a few trusted confidants having any real ability.

Moreover, they didn't dare to actually clash with the Special Higher Police; they brought these people along mainly to bolster their courage.

Inside the bookstore, an agent from the Operations Section entered:

"Assistant Lin, Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran from number 76 have arrived."

Lin Jieru nodded and turned to look at Lan Zehui and Zhao Xuan.

"Bring people in."

Lan Zehui gave the order, and Lin Jieru and the little spy went out together. A short while later, they led Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran into the bookstore.

As soon as Xie Biran entered, he saw Lai Er kneeling on the ground, his face pale, and Lan Zehui, Zhao Xuan, and Yamayuichi sitting together drinking tea with cold expressions.

Xie Biran and Zhang Sanjin, who had still held a sliver of hope, lost all their luck the moment they saw Zhao Xuan. Their hearts, which were already in their throats, nearly jumped out of their chests in fright.

"Section Chief Lan Ze, Section Chief Shan Xiong, Section Chief Zhao, what's going on?"

Zhang San forced a smile, tugged at Xie Biran's sleeve, and led him forward to ask a question.

However, none of the three of them answered Zhang Sanjin's question; instead, their gazes were all fixed on Lin Jieru.

Lin Jieru knew it was her turn to step forward. She snorted coldly and took a step away from Zhao Xuan.
"You guys from the 76th are really something, managing to rob me!"

As soon as Lin Jieru finished speaking, Xie Biran and Zhang Sanjin were both stunned.

Lai Er, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing incessantly, was dazed, but his survival instinct still made him shout:

"I'm innocent! No, how could I dare rob the Special Higher Police? I'm innocent!"

Seeing Lai Er crying and wailing, Zhao Xuan frowned slightly. Lin Jie waved her hand, and a junior agent from the Special Higher Police came forward and violently stuffed a wad of paper into Lai Er's mouth. The world instantly became much quieter.

Zhang Sanjin didn't want to say a word. He had already realized that Xie Biran's subordinate had offended someone far more than just Lin Jieru, the little assistant.

Xie Biran suppressed the fear in his heart, bowed to Lan Zehui and the other two, and said:
"My lords, it is my fault for not managing my subordinates properly. Rest assured, I will give you an explanation!"

Jingle Bell!
The phone rang at Guanghua Bookstore, and everyone's eyes turned to the counter.

Sun Jianzhong, standing behind the counter, smiled wryly, and then, under everyone's gaze, tentatively reached out and answered the phone.

A few seconds later, Sun Jianzhong glanced at Zhang Sanjin and Xie Biran in shock. Before he could speak, Yamao Kazuo coldly snorted:
"Who are you looking for?"

Sun Jianzhong pointed at Xie Biran and Zhang Sanjin. The two looked at each other and both wanted to go and answer the phone.

Master Niu naturally knew why Number 76 was calling at this time. He disguised himself as Zhao Xuan to resolve this matter!
"We can talk about the situation later. Right now, let's deal with the immediate problem first. What do you think, Section Chief?"

Lan Zehui looked at Zhao Xuan with surprise, but finally nodded. She thought that it was not wrong for Zhao Xuan to call her section chief in public, since he had mostly addressed her that way before.

However, Master Niu's words made Lin Jieru a little nervous, because in her memory, her teacher always addressed Section Chief Lan Ze as Huizi!

“Ah Xuan is right, let’s deal with the immediate problem first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamao Kazuo waved his hand, and an agent stepped forward, snatched the phone from Sun Jianzhong's hand, cursed "Baka!" into the phone, and slammed it down.

Yamayuu Kazuo smiled with satisfaction. Zhang Sanjin and Xie Bijian had no choice but to force a smile and turn to look at Aizawa Keiko and the other two.
Xie Biran took a deep breath:

"Sirs, what kind of compensation do we require?"

Aizawa Keiko and Yamayu Kazuo's gazes fell on Zhao Xuan at the same time. Lin Jieru was Zhao Xuan's person, so naturally, Zhao Xuan had the final say on matters of compensation.

Zhao Xuan sighed, a look of profound sorrow on his face, and said in a detached tone:

"Actually, I don't quite understand what's wrong with the current 76?"

“I don’t object to your desire to make money. After all, with such a large business, it’s not sustainable to rely on government funding all the time.”

"But you're making money, and you're even taking it out on our Special Higher Police! Do you think our Special Higher Police is a sucker, or do you think our Special Higher Police is easy to bully?"

Zhang Sanjin was sweating profusely. From the moment Zhao Xuan said those words, Zhang Sanjin knew that things would not end well today.

Xie Biran's body trembled slightly, and he quickly looked at Zhao Xuan and said:

"Section Chief Zhao, that's not how it is. I can guarantee that what happened today was a misunderstanding."
