Chapter 10: Gunfire

'There are plenty of dollars,'

'But don't think about the rest,'

'Promotions have procedures. It takes a few months to get one. There are things Boss Dai can't decide on his own...'

Li Boqi tapped on the glass and continued to speak slowly.

Zhang Yong stopped talking. He was listening attentively.

He was holding a heavy 50-dollar bill in his hand, weighing more than two catties.

If you have enough money, you can do anything.

It's fine if you don't say anything for a day.

Cao Mengqi asked, 'Team leader, do you think the information she provided about the five teams is true?'

Li Boqi pondered and replied, 'It should be true. There is no need for her to lie about this. She is provoking us. She wants to continue to compete with us. This is a bait she has thrown.'

Zhang Yong paused, then suddenly shut up again.

Li Boqi gave him a glare.

'Speak.'

'Why do you say it's bait?'

'Do you think the Japanese are all dead? That they won't fight back? That they'll just wait for us to come and arrest them?'

'Well...'

'Before, the Japanese didn't think we would discover their identities and find them so quickly. So they weren't on guard. But now, Lin Xiaoyan has been captured. I think the Japanese in these groups are all on guard. It will be difficult for us to catch people without them being on guard. They might just pull the pin on their grenades and blow themselves up. We will suffer even more casualties.'

Zhang Yong: ...

Okay, I'll shut up.

The Japanese are indeed crazy. It won't be easy to capture them.

The previous one, the disguised rickshaw puller Huang Zhiyang, resisted armed. His life was almost lost there.

As you can imagine, the subsequent captures will definitely not be that smooth.

Firing a gun is still considered good. The thing to fear most is explosives. Grenades, mines, explosive packs, and the like. In a minute, several people will be gone.

It is impossible to guard against these things. Even Cao Mengqi is very wary.

'But let's not lose heart. After all, we have strong support.' Li Boqi saw that the two men were slumping their heads and seemed a bit discouraged, so he changed his tone to an encouraging one, 'Boss Dai is coordinating with the garrison headquarters. In the future, when we arrest someone, we will directly call out the military police and the army. We will also allocate more submachine guns and other high-powered weapons. In short, we cannot be defeated by the Japanese spies. This is our territory! How could we lose to the Japanese!'

After a slight pause, Li Boqi changed the subject, 'For now, we can ignore Lin Xiaoyan and focus on Meng Chaowei. We must confirm Meng Chaowei's identity as a Japanese spy. We need to find ironclad evidence. That way, we can prevent anyone from speaking on his behalf. Money talks. I wonder which big shot is backing him.'

'This guy has never confessed either, and he's been beaten up so much that I'm worried about sending him to the hospital...' Cao Mengqi frowned.

'The information provided by Lin Xiaoyan has confirmed Meng Chaowei's identity. The Japanese should have given up on him. That's why Lin Xiaoyan confessed like this,' Li Boqi said slowly, 'There are still six people in his team. We have to find a way to dig them out...'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

Suddenly, there was the sound of gunfire.

It seemed far away. But it also seemed very close. The three of them all looked at each other.

Gunfire?

It seemed to be nearby?

Who was firing? Was it the military police? Or someone else?

He didn't think much about it...

'It's best to find the radio and code book. His team definitely had a radio and code book,' Li Boqi continued, 'Once we find these, the evidence will be overwhelming. No one will dare to speak for Meng Chaowei. His yarn factory will become ours.'

Zhang Yong suddenly had a strange feeling.

It seemed that the top priority for the authorities had always been this Shenghua Yarn Factory, hadn't it?

No. To be precise, it is the hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue each year. With such a huge profit, anyone would be tempted.

Meng Chaowei is finished.

Not to mention that he is Japanese. Even if he weren't, he is finished.

These are the words of Boss Dai. Even Jesus Christ cannot save him.

Because Boss Dai wants his spinning mill. He wants the hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit each year.

'Bang bang bang!'

'Bang bang bang!'

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Then Wei Yong burst in, out of breath. His face was red with anger.

'Team leader, someone shot at the door. They killed Huang Ling and Wu Chunhong.'

'What?'

Li Boqi stood up abruptly.

Without thinking, he pulled open a drawer. He took out two pistols. He threw one to Zhang Yong.

Then he hurriedly walked out.

Zhang Yong hurriedly took the gun and rushed out with Cao Mengqi.

At the door, there were two people lying. They were the two female agents Zhang Yong had encountered earlier. Both had been shot dead. Both had been killed by a single shot.

Thinking about the gunshots just now, he cursed. Son of a bitch. They actually ambushed the action team.

'It's the Japanese spies!' Cao Mengqi said angrily, 'They're taking revenge. We captured their people, so they killed ours.'

'That's right,' Li Boqi nodded. 'Lin Xiaoyan came to check the situation. We've been exposed.'

'I never thought they'd be so bold. They've really gone too far.'

'They've occupied our three northeastern provinces, and they're stirring up trouble in North China. Their marines are stationed in Hongkou. What are they afraid of?'

'Damn...'

Cao Mengqi cursed angrily.

For a moment, Zhang Yong had never been so angry before. He felt like exploding on the spot. He wanted to capture all the Japanese spies and blow them up with grenades!

Shooting them wasn't enough!

They had to be chopped into pieces!

Son of a bitch!

Dare to shoot at the people of the Action Team!

Right in front of the Action Team's door! How arrogant!

He turned around and left.

He was going to chop Lin Xiaoyan into mincemeat!

He was pulled back by Li Boqi.

He tried hard to break free, but failed. Li Boqi was very strong.

'Stop!'

'What are you going to do?'

'If you're so capable, go out and catch a few Japanese spies and execute them here.'

'The gunshot has been heard. The military police will cordon off the surrounding streets. The gunman can't possibly run far in a short time. If you're fast enough, you can catch him!'

'Forget it. No need to catch him. Just shoot him dead! Just bring back the body!'

Li Boqi said coldly.

Zhang Yong's blood rushed to his head. He took his pistol and walked out.

'Follow!'

Li Boqi waved his hand at Cao Mengqi.

Cao Mengqi immediately followed Zhang Yong with Wei Yong and the other three agents.

In addition to carrying a pistol, Wei Yong also carried a Mosin-Nagant rifle on his back.

Long-range shooting. Pistols and submachine guns are useless. The Mosin-Nagant is the most overbearing.

'Judging from the enemy, he fired from about 200 metres.'

'If it was close range, he would need to escape further,'

Cao Mengqi said beside Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong nodded. Stop walking.

'You judge which direction the enemy is likely to retreat in.'

'Yangpu. It's the most populated area.'

'Pursue!'

Zhang Yong immediately turned.

It didn't matter that there were many people. He could find them all.

The point was that in a crowded place, the Japanese killer would not be able to carry a long spear. Without a long spear, the most lethal threat would be gone.

Otherwise, if the Japanese killer hid a hundred metres away and shot, he would still be very dangerous.

The map only showed a limited range of 100 metres.

Charge!

Charge!

Follow the direction in which the Japanese killer might be hiding.

Now is the time to hurry. Let's see who is faster. So, Zhang Yong also exerted himself to the utmost.

Finally, hard work pays off.

The map shows something.

A red dot appears.

Another red dot appears.

And another red dot appears...
