Chapter 7: Find someone

'This matter is not as simple as it seems...'

Li Boqi shook his head. But he didn't go into detail. Instead, he told him to go back to the group.

After returning to the group, Li Boqi gave Zhang Yong a task. It was to practice basic combat and shooting skills. He also assigned an instructor.

The instructor was called Wei Yong. He was recruited from the army. He was very good at martial arts. He was proficient in various weapons.

'Make sure he practices hard!' Li Boqi emphasised to Wei Yong.

So Zhang Yong had a miserable time.

He really was trained hard by Wei Yong. It didn't stop for hours.

At the end of the day, he was sore all over. It was even more unbearable than death. After the training was over, he didn't even want to eat, and went straight to bed to sleep.

Early the next morning, he was woken up again by Wei Yong and continued practising...

Then the third day...

The fourth day...

Practised for a whole week.

During this week, Zhang Yong did not receive any tasks. Wei Yong did not either.

However, Cao Mengqi was very busy, coming and going.

Li Boqi had three small teams under him, each with more than ten people. In fact, the total number of people was really not large.

The key point was that the other two team leaders had never shown up. It seemed that they were not in the Songhu area. I don't know what they are busy with. It's all very mysterious.

Of course, these things had nothing to do with Zhang Yong for the time being.

At the moment, he has roughly mastered the shooting technique of a pistol.

Although it is still a bit difficult to shoot at a distance of 20 metres, it is better than before. At least he can shoot now.

Sure enough, people can change. They are very adaptable.

Can't fight? Learn!

Can't shoot? Learn!

What? Don't want to learn? Believe it or not, Wei Yong will give you a big foot.

These are the basic skills you need if you want to survive in the secret service department of the Li Xing Club. You don't have to be good at them. But you must know them. Otherwise, you'll be the first to die.

In the meantime, Li Boqi came to visit three times.

Seeing the results of Zhang Yong's training, his face was so gloomy that it looked as if water was going to come out of it.

Zhang Yong felt a chill inside. He dared not be negligent. He obediently volunteered to work overtime. He continued to practise with Wei Yong. Until he had no strength left.

Li Boqi is a tough guy. Zhang Yong was afraid that he would give him another knee to the groin.

That would really be the end.

'Bang!'

Continuous gunfire.

Twenty metres away, the target kept swaying. It had obviously been hit.

Not bad. It seemed that half of the bullets had hit the target.

It seemed that cramming had some effect.

'Da-da-da...'

Learning to fire a Thompson submachine gun.

This gun has quite a lot of recoil. Zhang Yong's shoulder blades are bruised and swollen.

After emptying the entire drum, the whole body smells of gunpowder. It's as if he's been soaked in it. When he takes a shower at night, the gunpowder just won't come off, no matter how hard he rubs. It's as if he's become a human firecracker.

He practices hand-to-hand combat with Wei Yong again.

Every time, he gets beaten up and is left with a black and blue face. He feels like he's about to become a stake.

I'm full of grievances.

I'm being taught by a military instructor like Wei Yong, and he's really killing me!

"Pang!'

I was easily thrown onto my back.

Luckily, I landed on a straw mat. Otherwise, I would have been lying on my back for at least three months.

Luckily...

'Zhang Yong, Wei Yong, the team leader is calling you!'

'Yes!'

The two hurriedly rushed to Li Boqi's office. They found Cao Mengqi there as well.

Cao Mengqi had his head down. It seemed that he had just been lectured.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel nervous. Did something happen?

'Lin Xiaoyan was lost,' Li Boqi waved his hand and sat down, 'we need to find a way to remedy the situation.'

Zhang Yong: ...

I told you, what's the point of keeping a long-term plan to catch a big fish?

Just catch her early and torture her. Then everything will be fine.

So what if she's a spy? Give her all 108 tortures, I'm sure she'll confess!

But now it's fine. The longer the night, the more dreams. We lost the person. It was all for nothing.

Of course, I dare only grumble to myself. I dare not show it.

'Keep the people and dig deeper. That was Boss Dai's instruction. But we didn't execute it well, so we must bear the responsibility,' Li Boqi continued, 'Now, this spy case is personally supervised by Boss Dai. Lin Xiaoyan must be found. The current situation indicates that this Lin Xiaoyan is the core of this nest of Japanese spies. The radio and code book may be in her possession. Boss Dai said that if the radio and code book are found, everyone, including me, will be promoted to the rank of first class.'

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up. Then they dimmed.

Promotion. Not for me! I'm not an officer. Wei Yong and the others will at least all be second lieutenants. Cao Mengqi is a captain.

Li Boqi suddenly pointed his finger at Zhang Yong, 'You, after the promotion, second lieutenant.'

Zhang Yong was suddenly overjoyed. He hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.

Good stuff. The Lixingshe is full of hot air. No rules apply.

You don't even have to go to military school to be promoted. Unrestricted power is intoxicating!

'From now on, the three of you are in charge of finding the person.'

'Use every means possible. All resources. Once you find him, arrest him immediately.'

'If he resists arrest, you can kill him on the spot.'

Li Boqi said in a deep voice.

He sounded murderous. His tone was cold. I guess this is Boss Dai's instruction.

Boss Dai wanted to make a fuss over this case, but the cooked duck flew away. How can he bear it? He must be ruthless.

If Lin Xiaoyan can really be recaptured, Boss Dai will definitely not be stingy with rewards.

A promotion is one thing. There are also tangible benefits.

Don't forget that. Meng Chaowei owns a silk factory. The profit is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year!

If Meng Chaowei is caught, the yarn factory will belong to the Lixing Society. Everyone will get a share of the profits.

Otherwise, why would anyone work so hard?

"Zhang Yong!'

'Here!'

'If you can find Lin Xiaoyan, you will not only get a promotion, but also be admitted to the third phase of the Honggong Temple Special Training Class.'

'Thank you, Team Leader, for your cultivation!'

Zhang Yong reflexively replied. Then he looked confused.

Hung Kung Temple Special Training Class? Third phase? Never heard of it. Recently, he has been trained like a dead man by Wei Yong.

'Congratulations! Clap!' Cao Mengqi led the applause.

Wei Yong also applauded.

Zhang Yong: ? ? ?

Feeling pretty amazing? Hung Kung Temple Special Training Class?

Seeing Zhang Yong's puzzled expression, Li Boqi patiently explained, 'This is a training class personally held by Boss Dai. There have only been three sessions, and only about 150 people have been trained. Your name being included is a very prestigious qualification. However, there is one prerequisite: find Lin Xiaoyan! Otherwise, everything is a lie! So...'

'Wait...'

Zhang Yong suddenly said.

Li Boqi: ?

The others: ?

'Bring your gun. Come with me for a bit,' Zhang Yong called.

But the map showed that there was a red dot approaching the action team. It was nearby. The distance was exactly 100 metres. Then it stopped.

Something was wrong. The other party was not just passing by. It had stopped. What was it doing?

Never mind. Let's just catch the person first. This time, he wasn't going to play any fishing games.

Catch them as soon as you find them!

Catch them and torture them! Torture them until they confess!

"Go!'

'Bring the guns!'

Li Boqi is also quick to respond.

He immediately pulls open a drawer. From inside, he takes out two pistols. He throws one to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong reflexively catches it. He never mentions not knowing how to use a gun again. Wei Yong has fixed every problem. The only thing he lacks is the ability to use a cannon.

They go out the door.

They quickly rush towards their target.

Zhang Yong only has to take a look and immediately understands.

'Lin Xiaoyan!'
