Chapter 59: Sabotage

'Absolutely not?'

'Absolutely not!'

Zhang Yong answered very decisively.

He was simply not cut out to be an undercover agent. He would just refuse to go.

'What if it's an order?'

'I...'

Zhang Yong gritted his teeth.

An order? A military order? That would be a bit of a problem.

Military orders could not be disobeyed.

No matter what the reason, disobeying a military order is a very serious matter.

Even someone like Li Yunlong, who disobeyed orders and refused to comply, had to be severely punished.

'Then I resign!'

I'm going for broke.

If the worst comes to the worst, I'll just quit.

There's room for everyone in the world, isn't there?

If there's no place for me here, there's always somewhere else. If there's no place for me anywhere, I'll join the Eighth Route Army. What if the Eighth Route Army doesn't want me? I'll go to Hong Kong Island, I'll go abroad...

'You wish!'

'I'm not going to go undercover anyway!'

'What do you think the Li Xing Society is? Can you bargain?'

'Then just shoot me!'

Zhang Yong exploded.

Damn it, I'm not doing it.

The broken system won't be activated for another two years. I don't even know if I'll be alive until then!

Li Boqi picked up the pistol.

Zhang Yong's eyes widened.

Go ahead!

Shoot! Kill me!

Damn it, what a shitty place! I made a mistake coming here!

'Click!'

Li Boqi pulled the slide.

The bullet was loaded. At any time, it could turn the target into a hornet's nest.

Thirteen bullets...

Nine millimetres...

Guaranteed to kill. Guaranteed to die.

Just close your eyes.

Go ahead! Kill me!

You deserve it! You guys will turn into an isolated island in the future! What a shitty organisation! What a bunch of nonsense!

Next time I time travel, I'll just join the Red Party...

'Click!'

A muffled sound.

I thought it was a gunshot. Later I realised it wasn't.

Li Boqi had placed his pistol on the table.

It was heavy.

'You've been targeted,' Li Boqi said coldly.

'What?' Zhang Yong didn't react.

'Do you know what a 'backstabbing' is?'

'What?'

'Someone is targeting you. They have told Boss Dai that you are very capable and suggested that you be sent undercover. Or a double agent.'

'What do you mean?'

'It means you're going to get yourself killed. Boss Dai is tempted.'

'I...'

Zhang Yong was at a loss for words.

Did Boss Dai not have a brain?

His greatest strength was being able to tell the difference between Japanese people!

What kind of mental circuitry would allow him to agree to someone else's suggestion? Besides, if he died, it wouldn't do Boss Dai any good. He couldn't even catch a spy...

'The Lixing Club has been in a complicated situation since the day it was founded...'

'You've made achievements, so naturally people will be jealous. They can't suppress you directly, so they'll try to get you out. Lend a hand to kill someone.'

'Sending you to go undercover or be a double agent is a very good excuse.'

'Although we have arrested some Japanese spies, in Boss Dai's eyes, they are still small fry. He won't care too much.'

'So...'

Li Boqi looked at him coldly.

His gloomy eyes seemed like razors.

'Have you thought about your escape route?'

'What?'

'Where are your informants? Where is your safe house? If you want to escape, how will you escape?'

'Er...'

Zhang Yong was suddenly at a loss for words.

Shit, is Li Boqi trying to scare me?

Maybe there are no informants, no double agents at all, he's just very dissatisfied with the progress of his work.

Informants: 0

Safe house: 0

Nothing. It's really not good to run away.

He could only lower his head in frustration. He concentrated on listening to the lecture. Suddenly, he saw Li Boqi push the pistol on the table towards him.

He was puzzled...

What was he doing?

Did he want him to commit suicide?

No way!

ADVERTISEMENT

There was no way I would commit suicide.

'I'll give you another gun,' Li Boqi said coldly.

'I already have two,' Zhang Yong said sullenly as he picked it up.

'No informants, no safe houses. You'll die even if you have more guns! Get out!' Li Boqi suddenly became furious.

'Yes,' Zhang Yong hurriedly took the pistol and ran out.

I told you so!

What undercover agent? What double agent!

Li Boqi was simply dissatisfied with his work. Scaring himself. What idiot would let themselves go undercover!

Really...

'The Intelligence Department proposed it.'

'What?'

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Shit. Really? Those bastards in the intelligence department!

Have I offended them? They actually want me to die! Damn it. This is obviously a setup!

I've seized so much Japanese spy property, I haven't given you guys a single share!

You collect the money on the front foot, and then you betray me on the back foot?

'Recently, our operations department has been in the limelight, and the intelligence department is not happy.'

'You, have already been targeted by them.'

'Be careful!'

Li Boqi's voice continued to come from behind.

Zhang Yongmu was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly.

Damn, I finally understand what it means to have a pig teammate. The Guodang side is full of endless pig teammates!

They undermine each other. They hold each other back.

They can't stand to see others doing better than them.

The current Lixingshe Secret Service has an Intelligence Division and an Operations Division.

The Intelligence Division comes before the Operations Division.

Generally speaking, the Intelligence Section has more power than the Operations Section. It has a more important status.

After all, it gathers intelligence. It uses its brain. The Operations Section, on the other hand, uses its hands.

He has inadvertently captured so many Japanese spies, causing the Operations Section to steal the limelight recently, and the Intelligence Section must be unhappy about that.

So they want to send him undercover or make him a double agent.

If he achieves results, it will be the Intelligence Section's proposal. The Intelligence Section will get the credit. If he unfortunately meets with an accident...

Sorry, that will be the Operations Section's loss.

The Intelligence Section and the Operations Section are fighting, and Li Boqi can't say a word.

He is only the leader of one of the eight operations groups. And he is far away in Songhu. He is thousands of miles away from Boss Dai.

I think Boss Dai is in Chengdu right now.

Old Chiang Kai-shek is also in Chengdu, preparing to organise the Sichuan army. The fight between the various parties is fierce.

I'm depressed...

What am I doing here?

I'm just a lowly soldier. I just have a little bit of special ability.

I'm not happy.

He decides to vent his frustration in the torture chamber.

He doesn't believe that the Japanese spy will really keep quiet.

If he doesn't talk, he'll be beaten!

Until he dies!

However, when he arrives in the torture chamber, he discovers that the Japanese spy really hasn't provided any confidential information.

He'll talk if you pay him. But he has nothing to say about the organisation.

Including Meng Chaowei, they are all adamant about not disclosing any information about the intelligence team.

It has to be said, these Japanese spies are really crazy.

At this moment in time, the Japanese invaders were caught up in a state of extreme fervour throughout the country.

It was really difficult to expect them to confess with such fervour behind them.

'What about the National Army major?'

'He died a long time ago.'

'What?'

'He was tortured to death by the Fifth Group a long time ago.'

'These roughnecks...'

Zhang Yong was speechless. Go easy on him!

The Japanese invader refused to talk. This National Army major might have talked!

"He didn't know much.'

'How come?'

'He was responsible for making contact with the rickshaw puller. Passing on information.'

'How many copies were sent out?'

'He's not sure. The one he handled was a copy.'

'Are there any others?'

'Yes. Wang Yuangui confessed that there are others in the garrison headquarters who have been bribed by the Japanese.'

'What about the rickshaw puller?'

'He was killed too. It was all done by the people in Unit 5.'

'I see...'

Zhang Yong was speechless. This Unit 5 really is fast.

And they said they suddenly ran away. It seems that the Japanese spies they handed over were almost all killed.

'How many are still alive?'

'Meng Chaowei, Fan Shiyi, and Dabao Maru. Just three.'

'Are all the others dead?'

'Yes. They're dead.'

'Okay...'

Zhang Yong was speechless again.

Then he perked up.

If one won't talk, then grab ten!

If ten won't talk, grab a hundred!

There must be one or two willing to talk among the hundred Japanese spies, right?

Turn around.

Go on and catch the Japanese spies!
