Chapter 14: Dispute

Back at the base. Zhang Yong noticed that there were many more people.

He finally let out a sigh of relief. Finally, support had arrived. From now on, they wouldn't have to work so hard.

Suddenly, he noticed Cao Mengqi's strange expression.

'What's wrong?'

'They're from the 5th group.'

'What 5th group?'

'The 5th Mobile Action Group.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong nodded.

So there was an action group here!

That's good. There are 50 people in an action group. Three small teams. The manpower has increased tremendously.

Then gradually I noticed something was wrong.

No one said hello to Cao Mengqi. Cao Mengqi didn't say hello to the others either.

Wei Yong was the same. Everyone else was the same.

It's as if you're invisible to me. I'm invisible to you. There were so many people, but it was as if they didn't exist at all.

'Captain Cao, did something happen?'

'They accused the team leader and I of being communists. They investigated us secretly. I was locked up for two months.'

'What?'

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Li Boqi was a communist? Cao Mengqi was a communist?

It's over. This is a blood feud! Nowadays, if someone is accused of being a communist, the consequences can be imagined.

No wonder Cao Mengqi didn't greet the other person. This is a complete break!

You can imagine the bloodshed in the future with your knees.

He was also from the 8th group. He must also be on the 5th group's hit list.

Damn, dealing with Japanese spies is easy. But dealing with the hidden daggers of our own people is not so easy. One careless move and you'll die at the hands of your own people.

'Oh, Captain Cao, triumphant return!' Suddenly, someone popped up.

'Get lost!' Cao Mengqi was annoyed.

'You wouldn't have just grabbed a nun and made her pretend to be a Japanese spy, would you? Haha!'

'Get lost!'

'No wonder Team 8 has captured so many Japanese spies, they've captured them like this!'

'Cheng Guo, don't make me hit you!'

'What? You want to hit me? Go ahead, go ahead...'

'Pang!'

Cao Mengqi took a step forward and slapped him directly.

Cheng Guo didn't expect him to really do it. He was caught off guard. He received a solid slap. Immediately, there were five hot and painful slap marks on his cheek.

'Get out!'

Cao Mengqi then reached out and pushed, sending his opponent stumbling.

Zhang Yong saw that the fight had started. He immediately led his men through quickly. He didn't want to be surrounded by the other side later. It seemed that Group 5 had more people.

It felt so exciting.

That slap was well-deserved. Cao Mengqi is a passionate young man.

No wonder Li Boqi said he was naive. He started a fight in front of the public.

Without a doubt, I absolutely support it.

'How dare you hit me?' Cheng Guo angrily got up from the ground.

He was about to point at Cao Mengqi and scold him when he suddenly felt something hit him hard from behind. He then fell to the ground again.

However, Zhang Yong had deliberately pushed a bystander, causing him to knock Cheng Guo over.

Then he immediately and elegantly disappeared.

Then he saw Li Boqi standing in the middle of the corridor.

'Son of a bitch...'

Cheng Guo cursed. He wanted to chase after him.

But when he saw Li Boqi standing there, his voice suddenly dropped. He sulked and shut up. After all, he didn't dare to take action.

Zhang Yong took the opportunity to escort the person up, while presenting the radio and code book.

'Let's go inside and talk,' Li Boqi's face was very unpleasant.

'Yes,' Zhang Yong and Cao Mengqi entered Li Boqi's office.

The atmosphere was angry. But it was also calm.

Cao Mengqi clenched his fists.

It was obvious that he was still not completely satisfied after the slap.

'Team leader...' Zhang Yong wanted to say something but stopped.

'Transfer Lin Xiaoyan and Meng Chaowei to Team 5,' Li Boqi said slowly.

'Why?' Cao Mengqi refused to accept it.

'Because they are more popular than us,' Li Boqi said with a stern face, 'because someone else has quietly made a comeback and I haven't received any news about it!'

'I can't understand it!' Cao Mengqi was impatient.

'You have to do it even if you don't understand. Zhang Yong, you go do it.' Li Boqi's tone turned cold.

'I don't understand either,' Zhang Yong said resentfully, 'They are obviously here to reap the rewards. And they've reaped the two biggest rewards.'

After a slight pause, he spoke bluntly, 'They are obviously riding roughshod over us!'

'Are you two rebelling?' Li Boqi's face was gloomy. 'Do you believe that someone will charge you with insubordination and have you executed? What do you think this place is? A children's game? This is the Lixing Society! There are rules! The rules are stricter than military law! Throwing a temper tantrum? How many heads do you have?'

Zhang Yong lowered his head. Not moving. Not doing it.

Cao Mengqi didn't lower his head. He just wouldn't agree.

'You...'

'You...'

Li Boqi pointed his finger at the two men, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside. Zhang Yong and Cao Mengqi then straightened up. They braced themselves. Then they saw a bald man sauntering in.

By sauntering, he really was sauntering. It felt as if he was taking a walk after a meal.

Zhang Yong didn't know the other person. He didn't react. Li Boqi, however, had already stood up and walked towards the other person. Cao Mengqi also had to straighten up.

Li Boqi shook hands with the other person enthusiastically.

'Brother Guangkun, why did you come in person? If you had just called, I would have come.'

'I was in a hurry and travelled day and night, so I didn't have time to tell you in advance. I feel bad about that. So I came in person to apologise. If I have done anything to offend you, please forgive me. Tonight, I will set up a few tables at the Jin Feng Restaurant and invite you to join me. What do you think, Brother Boqi?'

'Brother Guangkun, you are too polite. It is rare for you to come back, so it is I, Li Boqi, who should be treating you. How can I let you spend any money...'

'Come, Brother Boqi, let's go for a walk together. We don't want to hear the rumours going around, that there is always bad blood between our two units and that we don't cooperate well. We need to take practical action to dispel these rumours! What do you think, Brother Boqi?'

'Brother Guangkun's suggestion is very good. Let's go out together!'

'Please!'

'Please!'

The two men walked out together, close friends.

Zhang Yong: ...

Damn, they're both masters of acting!

Li Boqi is also able to bend and stretch. It's as if nothing has happened.

'Yan Guangkun, Xie Guangkun...'

'What did you say?'

'Nothing.'

Zhang Yong shut up. From now on, one really has to be careful.

In the past, there was only one Group 8, and there were no rumours. But from now on, there will be an additional Group 5. And Group 5 is very powerful.

If you accidentally say the wrong thing and someone catches you out, then you're in trouble.

He returned to the dormitory in silence. He found that the other bed was already occupied. When he saw him come in, he immediately stared at him with a wary look.

That look was almost like staring at an enemy.

Well, it really is like fire and water between the two action groups.

Thinking about the days ahead, it could be very exciting.

'Pssst!'

'I'll get you!'

'Shit...'

Suddenly, there was a friendly greeting from the next room.

It seems that the two people in the same dormitory had a fight. Haha. It really was a friendly conversation!

Fortunately, the order came down a little later. Adjust the dormitory.

Group 8 and group 8 live together. Group 5 and group 5 live together. Zhang Yong was transferred to Cao Mengqi's dormitory.

This was Cao Mengqi's own request. So that no one would come to his dormitory and cause trouble.

He was the squad leader, and his dormitory was relatively large.

The window was positioned so that he could see the open space below. He could see everyone gathering and entering and leaving.

'Captain Cao, are you married?'

'I can't get married.'

'What do you mean?'

'In our line of work, you can't get married.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong remembered.

It seems that Boss Dai has such a rule.

But this rule is a bit unreasonable! It's still ten years until the end of the war!

Are you telling Cao Mengqi not to get married for ten years? He's already in his thirties.

Forget it. These are all trivial matters.

The important thing is that from now on, anything involving Group 5 will become very complicated.

For example, the first thing, the handover of Lin Xiaoyan, caused a big dispute between the two sides.
