When Guo Xincai drove the car to the door of his house, he saw two men in suits standing at the door. It seemed that they were waiting for them to come back.

Yang Jixia said, "Wait a moment, Lao Guo will go open the door. You two go in first, and I'll deal with them."

"Is your voice... okay?" Tong Jia expressed doubts about Yang Jixia's hoarse voice that was smoked by cigarettes.

Lao Guo said, "What about me? Normally, in this situation, the women and children in the family wouldn't come forward."

Tong Jia nodded, Lao Guo got out of the car, opened the door for Tong Jia, and then went to open the door.

The two people waiting at the door went to open the door for Yang Jixia very respectfully. Seeing this action, Tong Jia and Guo Xin looked at each other, and knowing that it was nothing serious, they took Tao Junle upstairs to catch up on their sleep.

When she woke up, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

She couldn't find anyone in her room or Tao Junle's room, and when she heard voices coming from the study, she walked towards the study.

Tao Junle was seen sitting on the ground, using his legs as a table, reading some information and writing on a notebook on his legs.

There was an unfamiliar person sitting at the desk. He also looked at the materials at hand and began to write furiously.

In addition, Yang Jixia and Guo Xin were one looking up a dictionary and the other thinking about a problem with a stack of information.

Tong Jia knew that these people had started translating the information she brought out from the Fuso Consulate.

She didn't want to disturb these people from working, but it was already half past one and there were still five mouths waiting to be fed in the hospital.

"Ahem...excuse me, may I ask..." Tong Jia coughed lightly and prepared to ask them if they had eaten. If not, she would make it herself.

Guo Xin smiled at her and said, "Our great hero has woken up. Are you hungry? There are some dishes left for you in the kitchen downstairs. They are all left by Lele for you. I think they are what you like."

You go downstairs and have your meal first, and then we can discuss the next plan."

Tong Jia looked at Yang Jixia who was immersed in the dictionary, and then looked at Tao Junle, whose eyes had been on her since she appeared.

She asked, "Are they short of manpower? Why did they draft all the men for Lele?"

Guo Xin said: "There is no other way, the time is too tight and there is too much information.

Originally, the people working at the Fuso Consulate could come and help with translation, but now the affairs of the consulate are difficult to understand, and these staff members are all under investigation, so it would be too conspicuous to ask them to come.

Others can't come during the day, so we can only use all the available resources at hand."

In fact, he and Yang Jixia didn't believe that Tao Junle, the little mute, could translate the Japanese characters, but Tong Jia brought back the information with his help, so they had to believe it even if they didn't want to.

Moreover, Tao Junle has been in the Soviet area for so many years and is a complete member of our team. If we don’t use him now, when will we wait?

When Tong Jia saw Tao Junle nod, she knew that he was happy too.

He didn't dwell on this question and instead asked, "What were those two people at the door doing when we came back?"

Guo Xin pushed Yang Jixia, who was still looking up the dictionary, and said, "Go down and explain the situation. Come back later so we can discuss it together."

Only then did Yang Jixia put down the dictionary in his hand, went downstairs with Tong Jia, walked into the kitchen, took out the food in the steamer and placed it on the dining table, then turned around to pick up the chopsticks.

Then, he sat down opposite Tong Jia, who was eating. He said, "Those two people this morning were clerks from the Shanghai Municipal Government. They came here mainly for three things.

The first thing they did was to inform us that Qiao Hua could not be saved, and asked us whether we should take the body back and handle his funeral as a family member, or hand it over to the government for handling.

Well... I didn't give him a definite answer, I just said that we are relatives and I have to ask my wife's sister what she thinks about this issue.

The news that Rong Xinzhi cheated on her husband and was beaten into the hospital by Qiao Hua seemed to have spread, but not many people knew about their divorce.

What do you think about this matter?"

Tong Jia asked, "Qiao Hua seemed to have taken all the family's money to the consulate. Now that the consulate is in this state and Qiao Hua is gone, can all that money belong to Rong Xinzhi?"

Yang Jixia shook his head and said, "Qiao Hua was not found in the room, so it is impossible to confirm which room in the consulate belongs to him.

Furthermore, the consulate was severely damaged, and several units were dispatched to clean up the mess. With so many people on the scene, there were bound to be some taking advantage of the situation. Even if we could identify which room he was staying in, I don't think we'd be able to find much valuables in there now."

"I'll go to the hospital this afternoon and discuss this matter with Rong Xinzhi. We'll see what she thinks.

Anyway, she has the divorce papers, so she can attack or defend.

By the way, speaking of the hospital, I slept until this hour. Did you guys go to the hospital to deliver lunch at noon? I hope they haven't eaten yet, right?" Tong Jia asked.

Yang Jixia replied: "Old Guo said that when Tian's mother went to the hospital this morning, she brought the money.

She knows we've been busy lately, so she doesn't need to deliver lunch at noon. She can just go to the hospital cafeteria and buy food for those people."

Tong Jia took a bite of rice and nodded, not continuing the topic. Instead, she asked, "What are the next two things?"

Yang Jixia stood up again and scooped a bowl of soup for Tong Jia. After sitting down again, he spoke again, "The second thing is to ask why I appeared in the Fusang Consulate and whether we have been in contact before.

For this issue, I used Qiao Hua as a shield.

But he didn't mention the "Divorce Certificate". He just said that you insisted that I take you to find Qiao Hua to seek justice for my wife's sister.

Qiao Hua and the Fusang Consul are both dead, so this reason makes sense."

Tong Jia nodded, picked up the soup and started drinking.

Yang Jixia added: "As for the third matter, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

"What's the matter?" Tong Jia put down the bowl and asked.

Yang Jixia sighed and said, "It's about Diao Yongting.

After returning from Jiangcheng, although his superiors marginalized him, they did not change his position.

But now, his position may have to be moved, and the higher-ups want me to do this job for him.

You also know that since coming to Shanghai, Diao Yongting has been staying indoors and has even avoided meeting you and me. I really don’t know how to bring this up to him.

And... well... the higher-ups want him to go back to his hometown to work.

I worry……"

"Are you worried that he will vent his anger on your family, which he can't vent on you here, and are worried about your family's safety?" Tong Jia expressed his concerns.

To be honest, Tong Jia really hopes to see that situation.

Diao Yongting is not a good person, and not all members of the Yang family are good people.

But the Yang family is too big. Although Yang Jixia's mother and brothers and sisters are indeed of poor character, there are still good people in their entire Yang family.

If Diao Yongting really were allowed to go back, the entire Yang family might suffer.

She wanted to make life difficult for the Yang family, but that was only limited to the few days she lived in the Yang family, and to those who took advantage of her misfortune.

Seeing that Yang Jixia was in a dilemma, she said, "Since it's difficult, why not just get rid of it once and for all, and save yourself from worrying about it in the future."

"Once and for all? Do you mean to get rid of Diao Yongting as well? That won't do. Too many people related to us have had accidents recently. If Diao Yongting, who never leaves the house, also has an accident, I will definitely be the first person to be suspected.

This will be detrimental to future missions and is too risky." Yang Jixia retorted disapprovingly.

Tong Jia glanced at him and said, "Anyway, as long as Diao Yongting and Rong Xinzi are still married, my family won't have any major problems. I'm not worried. Your family is so cruel and mean to me, I'm not worried about what will happen to them in the future.

Since you, a relative connected to them by blood, are so hesitant, I don’t want to bother myself to find a solution for them.

Please help yourself, I'm done eating and going upstairs."

"You..." Yang Jixia wanted to say something, but when he thought about what he had learned about how Tong Jia spent the three days she stayed at his house, he couldn't say anything to accuse her.

More importantly, the two of them are just pretending to be a couple while carrying out their mission, and in fact they no longer have any relationship.

No, there is another connection. Tong Jia is his creditor.

After sighing again, he shook his head, took the dishes on the dining table to the kitchen, and followed her upstairs.

When Guo Xin saw the two people coming up, he said, "You came at the right time. We have just finished translating all these materials.

This pile of information matches a lot of the information we found from the Watanabe Trading Company when we were in Jiangcheng. It seems that they have not given up the idea of conducting human experiments.

You don't need to send this information out, just send a verbal message to the higher-ups.

This pile contains the addresses of the hidden warehouses of the Fuso Consulate in Shanghai and several surrounding cities, as well as what is hidden inside.

I'll sort out these addresses later and let Old Wu take charge of the arrangements. It would be best if all these places can be emptied within three days. If it takes longer, not only the people in Fuso will be able to react, but even the Shanghai Municipal Government will smell the clues and come looking for them.

By the way, there is also this pile of information, which is their investigation data on all the officials of the Shanghai Municipal Government. They have tailored different seduction plans for different people.

The last few stacks of paper were the tokens of allegiance that Qiao Hua submitted.

What I mean is that these two piles of information at the back are also very critical to us. We should not destroy them for the time being. We should wait until we have figured it out.

As for the other materials, burn them all. Don't leave even a scrap of paper. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Tong Jia didn't express her opinion, Yang Jixia thought she had a different opinion, so he asked, "Do you think this is unreasonable?"

Tong Jia shook her head, then nodded, and said, "At first glance, this arrangement does seem quite reasonable.

But is the truth really as smooth as we analyze verbally?

Actually, since last month, I've been wondering if we can still communicate with the higher-ups. Didn't they say that a lot of information couldn't be delivered since last month?

Also, even if we find all the hidden warehouses in Fuso, how can we move the things away and ship them out without anyone noticing?

The people of Fuso are not ordinary people. I don’t believe that the things stored in their hidden warehouses are just ordinary daily necessities.

The consulate's armory only has a small number of guns and bullets. Are most of the guns and ammunition stored in hidden warehouses?

If there are weapons stored, it means there must be food and money.

How could such an important thing not be guarded?

Since it is a hidden warehouse, the people guarding it may not be just those in the open.

I don't know exactly how many people are on Lao Wu's team, but I really doubt it. Let alone moving all the warehouses within three days, it might even be a problem to find them according to the map."

After hearing Tong Jia's words, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, they have lost contact with the Soviet area since last month.

Tong Jia knew that they were about to start a long-distance march, and all the news would be delayed.

In order to reduce casualties during long-distance marches and battles, Tong Jia felt that not only should the supplies in Fuso's warehouses be delivered to the organization, but all the gold in his RV that he had collected from the consul's small treasury should also be delivered.

But the prerequisite for sending it out is to contact them first, otherwise we don’t know where to send it.

At this time, Tong Jia felt a little regretful. She regretted that she had only asked Grandma Rong for the RV as a storage space. Although this was enough for her and Tao Junle, it was still too small for so many soldiers.

If her space were as big as a warehouse, she would rather risk being discovered and deliver the supplies in person.

Now she has no choice but to raise the problem as soon as possible and let everyone work together to find a solution.

She could also take the opportunity of helping to find the warehouse address to secretly put all the gold collected from the consulate into the RV.

With a little more money, you can buy more food, a cotton coat, a pair of cotton shoes, and a quilt. Although it cannot reduce the danger of long-distance travel and some pursuit and blockade by the Jinling government, as long as people can have enough food and warm clothes, it can always reduce some unnecessary casualties.

Next, Tong Jia handed the time over to Yang Jixia and Guo Xin, and she took Tao Junle to the hospital.

Rong Xinzi's exposed areas no longer showed any obvious injuries. To prevent Diao Yongting from noticing anything unusual, she returned home this afternoon accompanied by Tian's mother, openly packing a few clothes and saying she was going to take care of Rong Xinzhi in the hospital.

Diao Yongting didn't stop her and was quite kind to her, so she knew that her ugly deeds were kept secret.

With this comparison, she, who originally had a lot of dissatisfaction with Rong Xinzhi, now feels sympathy for this younger sister from the bottom of her heart.

However, her sympathy lasted less than an hour.

After learning that Qiao Hua had died and although he left behind no money, he did leave behind a house, she was so jealous that her stomach was turning sour.
