Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1713 Piranha Espionage Team

Dai Nong said thoughtfully, "We must send Chu Xi to the front line in western Hubei."

Mao Feng said with a smile, "Chief! Are you planning to use someone else to do your dirty work?"

Dai Nong rebuked, "Did I say that? Tell Zheng Jie to recruit more people. It doesn't matter if they're from secret societies, vagrants, or beggars, they can all be recruited."

"Yes!"

Mao Feng bowed and accepted the order.

Dai Nong chuckled inwardly: "Brother Xiang! When the time comes, I'll have Zheng Jie hand these people over to you, and it'll definitely give you a real headache. Haha!"

Shaanxi Street, Yangtze River Bookstore.

Xiang Chu and Liu Zhengxiong drove here and went upstairs to see Ning Caiwei.

Yu Xiaowan was also here, chatting with Ning Caiwei.

Two stunningly beautiful women together are a sight to behold.

Liu Zhengxiong joked, "Xiaowan! Are you chatting about revolutionary ideals with your love rival?"

Ning Caiwei scolded, "Get out! We're all family now, what kind of rival are you?"

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "How old is Uncle Liu? He still likes to joke around."

Liu Zhengxiong picked up a biscuit from the table and started eating it, shouting, "Who likes to joke? When I'm with Xiang Chu, we usually talk about revolutionary ideals."

Xiang Chu handed him a box of cookies and instructed, "Take Wei Feng and the others to drive away the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents. With so many people coming, how can our bookstore do business?"

"Order!"

Liu Zhengxiong smiled, took the biscuits, and walked out of the office.

Yu Xiaowan walked to the window and shook her head, saying, "There really are quite a few spies around this bookstore. Sister! The environment here is too terrible."

Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Yes! The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has made this place a key focus. Damn it! Kong Ling and I have negotiated with Chen Guo and Xu Zeng about the spies."

Xiang Chu asked in confusion, "Even Kong Ling's intervention was ineffective?"

Ning Caiwei said with a wry smile, "It's no use! Chen Guo said it was Mr. Chen's idea to strictly control the proliferation of red books in major bookstores and prevent our underground party from using bookstores as meeting points."

Xiang Chu said thoughtfully, "He still had intelligence; no other bookstore was monitored so closely."

Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Yes! This time they arrested the special envoy, who must have been to the bookstore. Luckily, we received a message from Xiang Xiu before the rendezvous, otherwise we would have been finished."

Xiang Chu instructed, "From now on, let people on the outside handle these kinds of things. Even if we get caught, there will be room for maneuver."

Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely learn from this experience in the future."

At this moment, Liu Zhengxiong rushed into the office and shouted:

"These bastards from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics are pretty arrogant. They said they couldn't evacuate without orders from their director."

Xiang Chu picked up the phone, connected with Xu Zeng, and scolded, "Deputy Director Xu! Why did you send people to monitor my bookstore?"

Xu Zeng said with a forced smile, "Lord Chu! I was just about to go see you, but I didn't expect you to call me."

Xiang Chu said irritably, "You sent so many people to monitor my bookstore, why are you still looking for me?"

Xu Zeng said with a smile, "I want to make a trade with you, and I believe you will agree. I will remove the people monitoring the bookstore, and you will bring Director Chen to his senses."

This was a trap, leading Xiang Chu to admit that he was the one who poisoned Chen Guo.

Xiang Chu knew perfectly well what was going on, and sneered, "Brother Xu! I don't quite understand, isn't it a good thing for you that Chen Guo hasn't woken up?"

Xu Zeng was taken aback, seemingly convinced by his words. After a long pause, he chuckled and said, "Haha! You're right! I'm not even a relative of his, why should I worry about it?"

Xiang Chu said coldly, "Yangtze River Bookstore is a company in which the First Madam has a stake. If you insist on sending someone to monitor it, then the selection of the new director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will have nothing to do with you."

Xu Zeng hurriedly said, "Withdraw! Withdraw immediately."

Xiang Chu put down the phone and shook his head, saying, "This person is clueless. He's trying to fight us, what good will come of it?"

"Father—!"

Ning Chuxi and Wu Wan and the other children rushed into the room.

Xiang Chu picked up the youngest child and smiled:

"Let's go! Let's go to the restaurant across the street for a big meal."

Liu Zhengxiong remarked with emotion, "Having many wives is great, and having many children is also good."

"What words?!"

Yu Xingwan and Ning Caiwei blamed each other in unison.

"just kidding!"

Liu Zhengxiong laughed, picked up the 50,000 and made a quick getaway.

Yibin City, the Bamboo Bureau's outpost.

Cigarette smoke curled from the director's office.

On the table sat an antique-style zither, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Doihara Kenji, dressed in a kimono and with a shiny bald head, pretends to be elegant as he plays the koto to welcome Ushijima Yoshiko, who has been assigned to the Bamboo Agency by Aoki Renka.

Xiaoqi and Takahashi Xiaozheng sat upright listening to his performance, their ears enduring the torment of noise.

Takahashi Kosei couldn't help but shake his head and say:

"Your Excellency General! Your music is awful."

Hiroto Doihara, not angry at the joyous occasion, asked with a smile:

"Takahashi-kun, just how bad is it?"

Takahashi Kosei said thoughtfully, "When my grandfather passed away, he also hired a musician to play. Because the musician played so badly, my brother threw him into the water. To say something you may not like, your musical skills are a million times worse than that musician's."

Doihara Hama shouted angrily, "What does the badness of this zither have to do with my playing skills?"

Xiao Qi guessed that the zither was a rare artifact passed down from ancient times, and hurriedly said, "General! Since this zither is not good, please give it to me. I won't take it for free; I'll buy your zither for one dollar."

Takahashi Kosei hurriedly said, "I'll pay two yen!"

Xiao Qi raised her hand and said, "I'll put up ten!"

Takahashi Kosei raised his hand: "I'll put up twenty dollars!"

Xiaoqi pretended to be defiant, took out 100 yen and said domineeringly, "I'll pay 100 yen!"

Takahashi Kosei patted his pockets and pleaded, "General! I only have two dollars here, please give me this zither."

Doihara Hamaji shouted, "You poor wretch, you want to buy a koto? Yamada-kun! This koto is yours, give me the money."

After saying that, he snatched the money from Xiao Qi's hand and stuffed the zither into his arms.

Xiaoqi was overjoyed. She hugged the zither, bowed deeply, turned around and ran out of the office, almost knocking over a young Japanese woman who was obese, dressed in a brightly colored kimono, and extremely ugly.

The extremely ugly woman asked in a gentle voice, "Captain! I am Miss Huanzi from the Shanghai Special Higher Police. Is General Doihara here?"

"Miss Huanzi! This great general is here!"

Hiroshi Doihara answered in a announcer's voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Takahashi Kosei assumed it was a beautiful woman and rushed forward, saying without even looking at her, "Beautiful Miss Huanzi! I am Takahashi Kosei."

Ushijima Yoshiko smiled and asked, "Am I beautiful?"

Takahashi Kosei looked up and was so startled that he fell to the ground.

Doihara Kenji stepped forward, took Ushijima Yoshiko's hand, and said with a smile, "Miss Yoshiko! You are indeed very beautiful, meeting the standard of an absolutely beautiful woman in my mind."

Takahashi Kosei cried out, "Heavens above! Earth below! I can't take it anymore!"

After saying that, he scrambled out of the office, leaving the two of them alone.

Ushijima Yoshiko took out a secret letter from her inner clothes and handed it to Doihara Kenji, saying, "General! This is from Section Chief Aoki, who asked me to give it to you. He said he wanted to help you in the Battle of Western Hubei, which would also be a contribution from our Shanghai Special Higher Police."

Doihara Kenji took the secret letter, opened it, and said with a smile, "Yosh! Miss Aoki gave it to me and even gifted me a spy team codenamed 'Piranha' as a dowry. I really have to thank her!"

Ushijima Yoshiko covered her face and said shyly, "General! Will Yoshiko be your wife from now on?"

Doihara Hamako said happily, "Yoshi! You're the perfect wife for me. Come! Let's go inside and chat."

After speaking, he threw the secret letter on the table, pulled Ushijima Yoshiko into the inner room, and closed the door.

Xiaoqi bought a guqin but forgot the case, so she went back.

He didn't find the violin case, but he did see the secret letter on the table. He memorized it and tiptoed away.
