Chapter 102: Passed on by the Master

'Do you have any information on the Tans?'

'We've never heard of them either. But we do have information on Kazuhiko Wachi.'

'Tell me.'

'Kazuhiko Wachi is currently in Tianjin.'

'Not in Jinling?'

'He's probably giving orders from afar. Kazuhiko Wachi is an old-time spy. He was Toiihara Kenji's apprentice...'

'Wait.'

'What?'

'Toihara Kenji, Iwasaku Mataji, Wachi Otori... Why are there so many '二's?'

'It's probably a coincidence.'

'Or maybe Toihara Kenji requested it?'

'I can't say for sure.'

Yang Shanfu shook his head. He didn't think there was a problem with the names.

Japanese names were weird anyway. Outsiders simply couldn't study them thoroughly. It wasn't uncommon for someone to be called Stupid Pig.

The Japanese secret service was also quite messy. One person could set up a secret service.

Someone like Toihara Kenji, who knew China so well, set up many secret services. They were spread all over the country. Everywhere. North China in particular.

At the moment, the situation in North China was very chaotic. Two years ago, the Fuxing Society sent Wang Tianmu to assassinate Zhang Jingyao, but the situation in North China had not improved at all.

'Minister He has gone to Tianjin.'

'What for?'

'Negotiating with Umezu.'

'Huh?'

Zhang Yong seemed to remember something. But there was nothing specific.

The two names felt familiar. He Yingqin. Umezu. The result of their negotiations was definitely not good. It was estimated that North China was finished.

'What is the current policy?'

'Start from scratch.'

'Oh, okay.'

People are dead. Indeed, it is only possible to start from scratch.

Suddenly, I feel very strange. Yang Shanfang came to see me, but didn't give me any tasks?

Chief...

You didn't think of me?

I caught the man myself. I could catch a few more...

'Chief!'

'Chief!'

Suddenly, people kept shouting.

Zhang Yong was slightly startled.

The Chief is here?

'I have a surprise for you,' Yang Shanfang revealed the mystery.

Zhang Yong: ...

It seems unnecessary.

It would have been fine to call me to Chicken and Goose Lane.

If only there was a little reward. I wouldn't mind making the trip. Why bother the boss?

Unfortunately, the boss was already here. There was no turning back.

He had to get dressed. Standing solemnly,

the boss then appeared, surrounded by a crowd of people.

To say that the boss was a handsome man would be an absolute compliment. His face could be described as average.

If it weren't for the position of Director of the Secret Service, no one would probably care about him.

In fact, purely in terms of rank, he was a colonel.

Military rank classification was very strict. It was difficult to get promoted.

So, the Military Intelligence Service simply created its own set of job titles. The local Military Intelligence Service station chiefs were all majors-general.

In fact, Boss Dai himself, until his death, was only a major-general. It was only after his death that he was posthumously promoted to lieutenant general.

'Boss, this is Zhang Yong.'

'Zhang Yong, the boss is here to see you.'

'Good day, sir!'

Zhang Yong stood to attention and saluted.

Boss Dai looked him up and down. He nodded, satisfied. The boy looks quite fit.

The key is this ability to identify Japanese spies, which is indeed very strange.

No one else can learn it.

They can't even understand the principle.

'Unfortunately, the Japanese spy we caught last night died unexpectedly. Zhang Yong, you still have a lot of work to do.'

'Yes.'

'If you have any requests, you can tell me. I will do my best to help.'

'Is there a reward?'

'What?'

Boss Dai was taken aback.

He understood. But he didn't quite understand.

Reward?

Reward?

The people around him: ???

This guy!

'No requests,' Zhang Yong hastily corrected himself.

'Wait a minute,' Boss Dai recovered, 'repeat what you just said.'

'I...'

'Repeat it.'

'Director, is there a reward for catching Japanese spies?'

'You...'

Boss Dai looked weird.

Young man, you have a problem! You don't care about anything else, just about the reward?

Over in Songhu, wasn't the reward you were given enough?

And now you're asking me for more?

Really, really, really...

I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.

ADVERTISEMENT

'Nonsense!' Boss Dai said sternly.

'Yes. I was wrong,' Zhang Yong hurriedly bowed his head. He thought to himself, stingy as death. Not even one dollar.

And then he got caught.

Pretending not to know.

'I will reward you with 10,000 dollars for capturing the Japanese spy who attacked Ji'e Lane...'

'Really? A gentleman's word is his bond!'

'Do you think I would lie to you?'

Boss Dai didn't know what to say.

In front of so many people, are my words really that tasteless?

The others: ...

They all secretly clenched their fists in fear.

This Zhang Yong. He really is greedy to the point of insanity.

Dare to bargain with Boss Dai!

Believe it or not, if Boss Dai gets angry, he will throw you into the Yangtze River to feed the fish!

He has no regard for the law...

'But I also have a request.'

'Please go ahead, Director.'

'I will only give you 48 hours. The morning after tomorrow...'

'Deal!'

'Very well,'

said Boss Dai, in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong really took up the offer. He didn't even bargain.

He was prepared to give Zhang Yong 72 hours. Now it seems that this little guy is too arrogant. He's got a lot of problems. And he's so arrogant.

This Li Boqi, I don't know how he was trained. A perfectly normal person, but he's been corrupted.

I might as well transfer him back to headquarters, and teach him myself. I'll correct him.

At this thought, Boss Dai could not help but feel moved.

'Secretary Mao!'

'Yes!'

'Call Li Boqi and tell him that Zhang Yong is to undergo training in Jinling for three months. I will teach him myself.'

'Yes.'

Secretary Mao turned to make the call.

The others looked at each other.

They were surprised again.

And envious.

What did Boss Dai say? Teach him himself?

What did that mean?

Was Zhang Yong to be taken on as the master's disciple?

My goodness!

What a blessing for Zhang Yong...

Hey, hey, there's really no one else. Who in the Fuxing Society has been so favoured?

Envy.

Jealousy.

'What? You'll teach me yourself?' Zhang Yong was stunned.

Hey, hey, hey, Boss Dai, don't play by the rules! I don't want you to teach me. I don't want to be your disciple. I don't want your name engraved...

Crap. If I become Boss Dai's personal disciple, I'll be shot dead 500 times in the future!

This is really going to kill me. What on earth did Boss Dai see in him?

I'll change. I'll change. I'll change immediately...

'Have you studied espionage before?' Boss Dai really was considering teaching him.

'No...' Zhang Yong answered helplessly.

'If not, then start from the beginning. You'll spend the next three months building a foundation.'

'Yes.'

'Once you've got a solid foundation, we'll move on to more advanced projects.'

'Yes.'

'If Wang Tianmu and Chen Gongshu come back, I'll let them teach you assassination techniques.'

'Yes.'

Zhang Yong answered with a stiff upper lip.

He was finished...

He was finished...

He had really become Boss Dai's personal disciple.

Not only would he be taught by Boss Dai himself, he would also be taught by Wang Tianmu and Chen Gongshu. These two were the top four assassins of the military intelligence agency!

Was he going to be taught to become the fifth assassin?

Damn it...

What should I do?

What should I do?

I'm waiting online, I'm so anxious...

He made up his mind and went for broke.

'But, Chief, I only know how to catch Japanese spies!'

'There will definitely be a war between China and Japan. You will be very useful.'

'Er...'

Zhang Yong was speechless.

Since Boss Dai had said that, could he still refuse?

To refuse would be to be ungrateful. He would be severely punished. When he got back, Li Boqi would also severely punish him.

It's strange that Boss Dai also knows that there will definitely be a war between China and Japan.

I thought...

'The Japanese are making more and more outrageous demands, which the government cannot accept. Sooner or later, we and the Japanese will have to decide who is the best. 'Boss Dai said slowly, 'Naturally, we in the Restoration Society cannot lag behind. Once the government decides to go to war with the Japanese, everyone must be the first in line. Anyone who baulks will be dealt with according to the family rules!'

'Yes!' the crowd replied loudly.

'Now, everyone must dig out the Japanese spies and cut off their ears and eyes!'

'Yes!'

'Zhang Yong!'

'Here!'

'Go! You only have 48 hours! I'll be waiting for your triumphant return!'

'Yes!'
