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

Chapter 94: Fooling [Request for full order]

Yes, Master Niu wanted to get rid of Xing Jun, wasn’t he just telling them that Xiaoximen was a trap, don’t jump into it, we have already found the exact location.

Fu Zhengguo's face straightened and he looked at Chen Chuyin seriously:
"If what Master Niu said is true, then what about Little Simon? The Japanese have already set up the stage, and it would be unreasonable for us not to sing a role, right?"

After Chen Chuyin put the cigar back on the pen holder, his smile completely disappeared and his tone became cold:
"Then play with them and set a trap for us. Let me see if this trap is secure or not."

The time is 2:35, in the secret room at the back of Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road.

Today, Sun Jianzhong called Liu Qinghuan anxiously because there were two important things.

After taking off his mink coat and putting it on the back of the chair, Liu Qinghuan, who had just sat down, noticed that Sun Jianzhong's expression was a little complicated.

It’s hard to judge the emotion, but surprise is definitely there.

"Old Sun, why are you so anxious to find me here? What happened?"

Sun Jianzhong put the account number that Liu Qinghuan had sent him back on the table. He felt his throat was a little dry, so he raised his cup and took two sips of herbal tea before saying:

"Kujiu, do you know how much money is in these accounts?"

Liu Qinghuan shook her head. How could she know such a thing? She just brought it along along the way.

Donations of money and materials are generally not that much. Anyway, Liu Qinghuan feels that in the Magic City, no one has donated more often than her, nor has anyone donated more money than her.

"Whoo~"

After slowly exhaling, Sun Jianzhong said with red eyes:

"Five hundred thousand dollars. A full five hundred thousand dollars!"

"What!!?"

This time even Liu Qinghuan lost his composure.

Almost subconsciously, Liu Qinghuan swallowed and asked:
"Old Sun, do you think it's possible that this money was stolen by the Germans in the French Concession?"

Sun Jianzhong laughed and shook his head:

"If you ask me, who should I ask? I'm afraid even Bai Cha doesn't know the source of this money. If we want to find out, we can only let Bai Cha ask the kid she made friends with."

Liu Qinghuan picked up the account book on the table, flipped through it page by page and said with a smile:
"It's good enough that they can donate, but you're asking about their affairs. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for them?"

"Why are you asking when you know this?"

Sun Jianzhong retorted to Liu Qinghuan speechlessly, then picked up another telegram from the bench beside him.

"This is the decision made by the organization regarding the existence of that mysterious person."

Liu Qinghuan curiously took the message and read it. After a while, a bright smile appeared on Liu Qinghuan's face:
"Old Sun, look, the organization should be more generous. I told Piaoxue to find a way to contact that mysterious man, and it would be best if we could bring him into our camp, but you refused to listen. Now the organization has made the same decision."

Sun Jianzhong was too lazy to argue with Liu Qinghuan.

As the leader of the underground party in Shanghai, he is in charge of the entire party, so how can he not be careful?

Especially for the mysterious person who suddenly appeared.

If I contact them just because I helped them a few times, what if it is a trap set by the enemy? Well, although this possibility is very small, Sun Jianzhong did not dare to make a decision on his own.

Keeping afloat is the way to survive, and only by staying alive can you continue to shine.

"So, what instructions did the organization give regarding Xiao Ximen's matter?"

Sun Jianzhong looked at Liu Qinghuan solemnly and replied:
"Before this, I had asked Comrade Chitu to investigate Xiaoximen. It was indeed unusual there, with many more spies."

"The organization has also decided that since Sun Yue has the possibility to enter through the Little West Gate, we must kill her at all costs!"

Liu Qinghuan was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded silently.

Boom—boom!

As the rhythmic knocks on the door sounded, Liu Qinghuan's eyes lit up. After looking at Sun Jianzhong, he immediately stood up and opened the door.

Seeing that the person coming was Yang Huamei, Liu Qinghuan hurriedly pulled her in.

"Piaoxue, why did you come here suddenly?"

Yang Huamei walked to the table, picked up the tea she had poured for Liu Qinghuan and drank it all. After taking a breath, she took out the note from her pocket:
"Uncle Sun, that person appeared again. He called me today and only said three words: dead mailbox!"

“This is what I found in that place.”

Liu Qinghuan hurried back and pulled Yang Huamei to sit down. The three of them gathered together and read the contents of the note under the oil lamp.

"Xiao Ximen is a trap. Let's pretend to attack Xiao Ximen while he goes to deal with Nan Tian Yunzi! This..."

Sun Jianzhong looked at Yang Huamei in disbelief:
"Comrade Piaoxue, what do you mean by a dead mailbox? Is he one of ours?"

Yang Huamei's mind is also very confused now.

Last time, the man just asked Yang Huamei to go to the place he specified to get the information, but this time he directly said it was in the dead mailbox.

Moreover, this dead mailbox is exclusive to her and her superior Sun Jianzhong. Yang Huamei couldn't figure out how the other party knew the location of the dead mailbox?

The location of the dead mailbox has been exposed, which has a greater impact than if she herself had been exposed.

If this mysterious man said that he was not one of them, Yang Huamei would not believe it now. He was definitely one of them!
Moreover, the confidentiality level is so high that even Sun Jianzhong cannot find any information.

The higher-ups must have done a perfect job of encrypting and keeping confidential the information for this person, while also giving him a lot of authority.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how that person knew the location of the dead mailbox.

Because this dead mailbox had never been used by Yang Huamei or Sun Jianzhong since it was set up, but it happened to be used by someone else for the first time.

This incident made Yang Huamei feel very complicated.

There are many underground party members in Shanghai who are much better than her, but this mysterious comrade just chose to use her as a tool.

"Uncle Sun, although I find it unbelievable, you are right. I got this information from the dead mailbox we set up."

Sun Jianzhong was stunned for a long time, and Liu Qinghuan was also confused. He looked at Yang Huamei on the left and Sun Jianzhong on the right, wondering, could these two be exposed together?
After a while, Sun Jianzhong looked at Yang Huamei with a complicated expression and said:
"Piaoxue, you said that this mysterious man is our comrade, right?"

After saying that, Sun Jianzhong didn't wait for Yang Huamei to answer. He picked up the document issued by the organization and started reading it, thinking carefully.

A few minutes later, Sun Jianzhong slammed the table and said excitedly:

"So that's how it is. The organization knew that this mysterious man was our comrade, so they trusted him so much and let us have more contact with him, but they didn't specify that we must find him."

"This is the organization's protection for him, and he must be a comrade sent by the organization to the Magic City to secretly assist us!"

Yang Huamei and Liu Qinghuan looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Both of them found Sun Jianzhong's imaginary answer outrageous.

But if this is not the case, then only Yang Huamei and Sun Jianzhong know the location of the dead mailbox, so how did that mysterious person know it?

The most important thing is that the dead mailbox has never been used before.

Therefore, no matter how outrageous Sun Jianzhong’s analysis is, it seems to be true.

"Then let's just treat him as our comrade, but what should we do now? Should we continue to ask for the organization's opinion?"

Sun Jianzhong nodded, what else! ?
The organization has just issued an order for a decisive battle at Xiaoximen, and you overturned it the next second. If you don't report it, it will be considered as disobeying the organization's order, and no one can afford the consequences.

"Comrade Piaoxue, you should go back first. It might not be good for you to be away for too long."

Yang Huamei nodded. She had already decided to leave.

Although Yang Huamei switched shifts with another doctor in the infirmary after receiving the call from the mysterious man, she still needed to follow through on the reason given.

Be careful and don’t think that others can’t find out. This is Yang Huamei’s code of conduct.

No. 76, Jessfield Road, one hour before getting off work.

Zhao Xuan looked at his watch and immediately stood up and walked out of the office.

Miao Xue, who was sorting documents outside, hurried over when she saw this:

"Chief, are you going to get off work?"

The Intelligence Department is now working around the clock to find the whereabouts of Yan Gang and Fang Yue.

Zhou Mei was even more crazy. She took the field staff out last night and they haven't returned yet.

Zhao Xuan stopped and looked at the woman who was more anxious than himself. Zhao Xuan said indifferently:

"You guys keep searching. If Zhou Mei calls, notify me immediately and I'll go find the director."

Miao Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Now she was afraid that Zhao Xuan would give up.

After all, it has been so long, let alone the whereabouts of Yan Gang and Fang Yue, they couldn't even find the car that Yan Gang and Fang Yue drove away.

This situation is despairing enough.

And they only have three days, not counting yesterday, this is only the first day.

If Zhao Xuan gave up, how could the people in the Intelligence Department raise their morale?

"Yes!"

Miao Xue responded, watched Zhao Xuan leave the Intelligence Department, and immediately turned around and continued to devote herself to her work.

In the director's office, Ding Moqun was a little surprised by Zhao Xuan's arrival.

"Ah Xuan, have you found any clues?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head with a serious face:
"No, but there are some guesses."

"Oh?"

Ding Moqun narrowed his eyes slightly, motioned Zhao Xuan to sit down, and asked:
"What guess do you have? Tell me and I'll help you analyze it."

Zhao Xuan had already sorted out his thoughts. He sat upright and looked at Ding Moqun and said:
"Uncle, what do you think Yan Gang and Fang Yue want to do most right now?"

Ding Moqun didn't think about it. He had been thinking about these questions. Now that Zhao Xuan asked, he naturally said directly:
"Leave the Demon City."

"That's right, leaving the Demon City."

Zhao Xuan affirmed Ding Moqun's words and continued:
"It can be said that the longer they stay in Shanghai, the greater the risk of us finding them." "But now, checkpoints have been set up at the train stations and entrances and exits leaving Shanghai. Even the entrance to the French Concession is controlled by the gendarmerie."

"Under such circumstances, if they want to leave the Magic City, they can only choose to take the water route."

"Leave directly, or enter the French Concession first, and then wait for an opportunity to go out to sea. By then, it will be extremely difficult to catch them."

Compared with land, there are too many water crossings in Shanghai. If one wants to find a loophole, the water route is undoubtedly the most likely to succeed.

Moreover, the only ferry that can sail directly into the French Concession recently is the Taisheng Ferry of Taichang Company.

Once Yan Gang and Fang Yue entered the French Concession, given the French Concession's current attitude towards the Japanese, they would no longer allow the Japanese to interfere in the management of the French Concession.

The last incident at Huizhong Hotel had already made the Governor of the French Concession very dissatisfied.

Therefore, as long as Yan Gang and Fang Yue entered the French Concession, it would become much easier for them to leave the Magic City.

Ding Moqun understood what Zhao Xuan meant after just a little thought:
"So, you've determined which ferry they'll leave on?"

Zhao Xuan nodded and took out the ferry schedule of Taichang Company from the document bag he brought.

"Uncle, in the next three days, only the Taisheng ferry will be able to enter the French Concession without inspection. There will be many celebrities on the Taisheng ferry tomorrow. My plan is to take people on board from Jiading first and keep a close eye on them all the way. As long as they dare to board the ship, we will definitely find them."

"We can catch them when the time comes. They can't escape even if they want to on the Taisheng."

"If they didn't board the ship and missed this opportunity, we would have plenty of time to search."

Ding Moqun took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief. After thinking silently for a few minutes, Ding Moqun put his glasses back on and said earnestly:
"The three-day time limit is indeed not very friendly to you. Your analysis is correct. This is an opportunity."

"If you want to find them within three days, you have to take a gamble, and your chances of winning tomorrow are very good."

"In that case, write out the action plan and send it to me. I'll provide you with all the men and guns you need. From now on, it's up to you. Your uncle can't be too biased towards you. After all, you've offended most of the people in Unit 76."

Yesterday's controversy over stealing other people's credit has spread throughout No. 76. Everyone knows that the head of the Intelligence Department likes to steal other people's credit.

This would offend most of the people in No. 76.

After all, there are only so many merits, and there are only so many positions of real power for No. 76.

You take too much credit and are promoted too quickly, so naturally you will promote your own people. Doing so will deny others any opportunity.

So starting from yesterday, Zhao Xuan’s reputation in No. 76 has not been very good.

Zhao Xuan smiled indifferently. If he had offended someone, he had offended him. They wouldn't be colleagues for life.

Moreover, if Zhao Xuan wants to grow stronger and cultivate his own trusted forces, he will inevitably affect the interests of Ma Shangcheng and the powerful figures of No. 76. He will offend them sooner or later. Who cares if it happens sooner or later?

With Ding Moqun as his uncle, his wife who is also a section chief, and the protection of Watanabe Anzi, if Zhao Xuan continues to behave as cautiously and non-competitive as before.

I'm afraid even Watanabe Anko will start to suspect him.

With so many people protecting you, if you don’t act more assertive, what are you afraid of?
After leaving the director's office and returning to the Intelligence Department, Zhao Xuan urgently recalled Zhou Mei and others who were on field work.

In the section chief's office, Zhao Xuan gave the reason that instead of searching for Yan Gang and Fang Yue like looking for a needle in a haystack, it would be better to take a big gamble.

If the bet is won, the Intelligence Department will become the leader of No. 76; if the bet is lost, the Intelligence Department will become the laughing stock of No. 76.

Zhou Mei seemed a little nervous about this gamble, but more excited.

Gambling, Zhou Mei has been gambling since the day she betrayed.

You dare to gamble your life, so why are you afraid of following Zhao Xuan to gamble again?
The abnormality in the Intelligence Department also attracted the attention of other departments of Unit 76.

In the office of the head of the telecommunications department, Wang Yiya, a baby-faced girl wearing a gray-green uniform, informed Dao Yan of the situation in the intelligence department.

"Section Chief, do you think Section Chief Zhao can really catch the man within three days?"

Dao Yan looked at Wang Yiya expressionlessly. For some reason, Dao Yan had a natural dislike for this woman.

Too capable.

This is the feeling Wang Yiya gave her after a few days of contact.

As a deputy section chief, he was humble and got along well with all the staff in the telecommunications department. There were even two or three of them who seemed to follow Wang Yiya's lead.

In this situation, how could Dao Yan possibly have a good impression of Wang Yiya?

He usually appears harmless, but in fact he is very aggressive and can win people's hearts!
The most important thing is that he is rich. He invites people from the telecommunications department out for a meal from time to time and does not take the section chief Dao Yan seriously at all.

"What if you can catch him? What if you can't catch him? Don't you have any work to do?"

Wang Yiya was scolded, but she was not embarrassed at all, and still looked at Dao Yan with a smile:
"Nothing, I'm just curious. After all, if Section Chief Zhao hadn't intervened, the title of 'deputy' on your head might have been taken away by now."

Dao Yan put down the pen in her hand, a fierce light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer that made Wang Yiya feel creepy:
"We are husband and wife, and it doesn't matter whose contribution is due. If he fails, both I and my uncle can help him make a comeback. However, if you fail, I can take you in and let you continue to work in the telecommunications department."

Husband and wife as one?
Pooh!
Do you believe what you said?
Wang Yiya looked at Dao Yan with a somewhat stiff smile:
"Really? That's why I've been working very hard so as not to fail."

Dao Yan shook his head and smiled, then picked up the pen and continued to review the documents, saying casually:

"If you have nothing else to do, go to work. The radio car is about to come down. You can take over and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Wang Yiya's breathing stagnated. This guy didn't intend to allocate one radio car to her, the deputy section chief, and she had to go through the hassle of handing it over herself.

This woman really holds a grudge, and she takes revenge on the spot!

Wang Yiya regretted teasing Dao Yan today.

But she did get the information she wanted.

This radio car must be blown up.

If she takes over the subsequent handover work, perhaps she can do a good job.

bang~
Hearing the sound of the office door closing gently, Dao Yan put on his pen and leaned back in his chair, his eyes empty as he began to think silently.

If I leave the follow-up matters of the radio car to Wang Yiya, then I can have someone blow up the car. Even if I am suspected afterwards, Wang Yiya will be there to take the blame.

Who knows, this incident might help get rid of Wang Yiya.

The two women, with eight hundred minds in their minds, were scheming against each other.

However, what Wang Yiya said this time also made Dao Yan alert.

In three days, using conventional methods, the possibility of finding Yan Gang and Fang Yue is very small.

Therefore, the unusual behavior of the Intelligence Department proves that they have taken action.

Apart from conventional methods, what other methods can be used to capture Yan Gang and Fang Yue?

Dao Yan thought about it carefully.

Although he didn't know how the two would leave the Magic City after escaping, Dao Yan was certain that they must be in a hurry to leave the Magic City.

The least risky way is to sneak into the French Concession.

But in today's Magic City, land transportation is basically impractical.

So it's waterway?

Dao Yan was startled for a moment. When he was about to call someone to investigate the ferry schedules and traffic conditions of the Cao Transport Company, he looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, then took back his hand that was holding the phone.

At the same time, in the office of the Chief of the Operations Department.

Ma Shangcheng listened to Fan Dingfang's report with a grim smile.

"You mean, the Intelligence Department asked you to lead a team to participate in the operation? When?"

Fan Dingfang is also helpless now.

He himself was very optimistic about Zhao Xuan, but this time, Zhao Xuan angered the public, and Fan Dingfang was hesitant. After thinking it over, he came to Ma Shangcheng and reported the intelligence department's upcoming action.

"Tomorrow at noon, he said he would lead the team to go with them after lunch."

Ma Shangcheng's fingers resting on the desk tapped slowly on the surface, his eyes slowly becoming deep and playful.

"What do you think will happen if he still can't catch the person this time?"

Fan Dingfang's expression changed and he looked at Ma Shangcheng with some confusion.

Ma Shangcheng didn't care about this. He knew that this was just Fan Dingfang's character.

He usually looks carefree and generous.

But his true character is indecisive. He likes to bet but dares not let go.

So this time, Ma Shangcheng decided to give him a push.

"He can't be the head of the Intelligence Department, so who is qualified to take the vacant position?"

"The Japanese have just taken over the position of deputy director. It is impossible for them to attack the intelligence department. Old Fan, you should understand this, right?"

Ma Shangcheng's words seemed to be asking and answering himself, but they also had a great impact and temptation on Fan Dingfang.

Fan Dingfang's body shook, and his originally complicated look gradually became firm.

"Section Chief, if Section Chief Zhao really doesn't catch the person, I'll leave it to you to handle the situation afterwards."

Ma Shangcheng's smile was very strange, looking like a fox. Anyway, Fan Dingfang didn't like to see such a smile.

Seeing Ma Shangcheng nod, Fan Ding finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. No matter what happened tomorrow, he would not let Zhao Xuan catch anyone. Even if he did, the person would be dead.

In the evening, Zhao Xuan left work early to pick up Dao Ya from school as usual. On the way, Dao Ya called Yan Gang and Fang Yue.

On the way home, Dao Ya sighed and looked at Zhao Xuan with dissatisfaction:

"Brother-in-law, if you get into trouble, don't blame me. I helped you take away my sister's credit."

Zhao Xuan smiled without commenting. This time Dao Ya really helped a lot.

Originally, Zhao Xuan had prepared many means to deal with Yan Gang and Fang Yue, for fear that these two people would not trust Dao Ya and would come out to cause trouble without permission, thus disrupting his plans.

But Zhao Xuan really didn't expect that this little girl Dao Ya was so good at fooling people.

Combined with the tactics Zhao Xuan had prepared for them, Yan Gang and Fang Yue were almost fooled by Dao Ya.
