Zhang Yong returns to the Yahai Hotel.
Then he takes the empty safe. He knocks directly on the door of Room 712.
Kitakata Taro opens the door angrily.
Zhang Yong barges in. He opens the safe. It is empty.
Not a single dollar is left.
Hokkō Tarō frowned, 'Brother, you're in the underworld, you can't go back on your word! You took it all?'
'This is the deposit!' Zhang Yong responded with impudence, 'I'll take ten gold bars from you, and 2,500 taels of silver. I can give you a receipt. When I make a big career in the future, I'll give you ten times the pay! And I'll give you a big official job! How about general? General! Or even head of the army! I promise I won't treat you badly!'
'You...' Beigang Taro was overwhelmed by his greed.
He was speechless for a long time.
And, this guy really knows how to paint a picture!
The generalissimo is out.
What era are you living in!
We no longer have a generalissimo in the Great Japanese Empire. The shogunate is gone too. You're still daydreaming!
Zhang Yong also didn't say anything.
He was waiting for the other party to show his hand. The other party must need something from him.
He deliberately told him the combination of the safe. This meant that the other party was trying to bribe him. At the same time, he was being asked to do something very important.
'Brother, if you want to get rich, you can work for me.'
'Tell me.'
'Tomorrow, you go to a place and pick up three people for me. Send them out of Jinling.'
'Who are they?'
'Don't ask. Anyway, you find a way to get them out of the city. Come back to me. I'll give you ten more gold bars.'
'Where do you want them sent?'
'Yangzhou.'
'By water?'
'Any way is fine. As long as they leave the ground of Jinling, it's a deal.'
'Oh?'
Zhang Yong's mind twitched.
Sending three people? Such a generous reward?
It seems that these three people are very valuable! Just who are they?
Japanese spies...
Three people...
He couldn't help but think of Yang Zhisong.
Those who disappeared with him were his wife and young son.
Exactly three people.
And Yangzhou happened to be Fang Muyu's hometown.
Fang Muyu's hometown might just be the Japanese invaders' lair. Someone must be helping her conceal her identity.
Haha. What a coincidence.
Pretending to be in a difficult situation. He kept mulling over the situation.
'Just tell me, is it possible?'
'Who exactly are you? Why do you have so many gold bars?'
'I know Mr Tian Qingyuan. Do you still need to worry that I don't have enough gold bars?'
'I have a suggestion...'
'Go ahead.'
'Why don't we...'
Zhang Yong suddenly stood up. He moved closer to Kitakata Taro.
Kitakata Taro immediately sensed that something was wrong.
This guy is up to no good!
Sure enough, Zhang Yong's eyes sparkled, 'Why don't we cooperate and get Tian Qingyuan out together, and then do him in...'
'What? Are you crazy?'
Kitakata Taro was stunned on the spot.
This guy, he really doesn't care about his life! He's crazy to this extent!
He actually wants to get rid of Tian Qingyuan!
How can this be?
Tian Qingyuan is one of their own!
The entire Ranji Agency is funded by Tian Qingyuan. How can he be eliminated?
Crazy...
Crazy...
This guy is really crazy...
No!
No!
It's too dangerous to continue like this.
Once this Liu Heizi has sent the person away, he will immediately sever contact with the other party.
At the same time, he will notify the other Japanese spies to eliminate him.
Only a dead person can keep a secret.
Right. That's it.
'What are you panicking about?' Zhang Yong said with disdain, "Aren't you Japanese? What are you afraid of?'
'This Tian Qingyuan, Tian Qingyuan..." Kitakata Taro was about to speak but stopped.
He couldn't tell the other person that Tian Qingyuan was also Japanese. However, if he said he was afraid, it would make him look incompetent.
It was the Japanese who were most enthusiastic at the moment, so how could they be afraid?
They would be despised, wouldn't they?
No, Liu Heizi's eyes were clearly not right. It was as if he was doubting whether he was actually Japanese.
'I mean, we need to think long and hard about this.'
'What do you suggest?'
'I haven't thought of anything yet. What about you?'
'Simple. Use your feminine wiles to lure him out. When he's finished and at his weakest, just break in, tie him up and take him away. Hide him. Torture him. And then kill him.'
'You...'
'Don't worry. He'll be dead. He'll never suspect you did it. You'll be safe.'
'I...'
'If you don't agree, I'll kill you too.'
'No, no!'
Higaki Taro was really scared.
The other party was too crazy. They valued money over their lives.
It was obvious that they, the Japanese spies, could not be this crazy. They all had a mission.
They were spies. Not outlaws. Not reckless.
What exactly was the ability of this reckless guy in front of him that had allowed him to survive until now?
With his reckless nature, he should have died a hundred thousand times on Shanghai Beach.
Oh, no wonder he was kicked off Shanghai Beach.
He's lacking in intelligence...
'That's after you deliver the person.'
'Of course,'
Zhang Yong nodded.
Then he stared deeply at the other person.
'Ten gold bars!'
'I guarantee I'll give it to you!'
Hokuto repeated hastily.
Just by looking at the other person's eyes, he knew that the other person was thinking about money.
Fine. Give it to him,
and then get it back with interest after killing him.
A person like this, dying a million times is not enough. How dare he try to take advantage of the intelligence agency of the Japanese Empire. He doesn't want to live!
'I'm glad you understand!'
Zhang Yong waved his hand and walked away contentedly.
Back in Room 713, he found Fang Muyu sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
'Your hometown is Yangzhou?'
'Yes...'
ADVERTISEMENT
'Call your hometown. Tell them to get ready.'
'What?'
'I'm sending a few people to Yangzhou. Tell them to get ready.'
'What people?'
'I don't know. It was requested by the Japanese spy in Room 712. Maybe it's the Japanese spy. So, they need to get ready.'
'So, how do we get ready?'
Fang Muyu felt her brain about to burst.
Zhang Yong was actually sending a few Japanese spies to Yangzhou? What an asshole! And he even asked her family.
Her family in Yangzhou are all members of her cover!
What does it mean to send a few Japanese spies there? A group of Japanese spies capturing a group of Japanese spies?
Oh...
My brain is not working anymore.
'What's wrong with you? You look so pale...'
'I'm fine...'
'Could it be that you're pregnant?'
'I...'
Fang Muyu was almost driven to death of anger.
At the same time, she was both terrified and uneasy.
Pregnant?
Oh no...
That bastard. We did it so many times last night. What if, what if, what if...
'I'll ask Dr Xia to take a look at you.'
'Who?'
'Dr Xia. From the army general hospital.'
'No. No.'
Fang Muyu hurriedly refused.
How could she be pregnant? Yesterday was her first time...
'But you look terrible...'
'You were up too late last night. You're lucky...'
'Oh. That's fine then. You should call your family first!'
Zhang Yong nodded shamelessly.
Of course he was excited about the new car. It needed to be broken in properly.
Meanwhile, he changed the subject.
'I...'
Fang Muyu's mind began to race again.
Make a phone call? How? What would she say? Tell them directly that they need to cooperate in catching the Japanese spy?
That's absurd...
'I'm going out for a bit.'
'Where are you going?'
'To get a marker.'
'Oh.'
Fang Muyu didn't dare ask. She was secretly relieved.
It would be much easier to make the call without this guy around. She could make 'home' more properly arranged.
Catching a Japanese spy is catching a Japanese spy.
After all, her identity cannot be revealed. Then it can only be the others.
Since Zhang Yong mentioned that the other party may be a Japanese spy, it means that the other party's identity has already been revealed. Since it has been revealed, it definitely cannot be left alone.
Right.
The spy must be killed decisively to keep his mouth shut.
Once he is dead, the secret will be kept. An exposed spy is not worth pitying.
Zhang Yong went out.
He quietly turned into the teahouse next door.
Dai Yice was waiting here. Everyone else was also in disguise.
'What do you think?'
'This Li Xueyi, also known as Kitakata Taro, is probably here to pick up Yang Zhisong.'
'Oh?'
Dai Yice's eyes lit up.
Yang Zhisong?
This guy is still in Jinling?
Haha. He's hidden pretty well. If we catch him, maybe the memo will bear fruit.
'What now?'
'I'll go and make a mark. Yang Zhisong will come to the designated location when he sees the mark. Then we'll make the arrest.'
'Good!'
Dai Yice rubbed his hands together.
As long as Yang Zhisong showed up, catching him would be no problem.
Zhang Yong vaguely felt that something was wrong. But he didn't really know what.
They arrived at the location designated by Kitakata.
It was outside a company called North American Trading Company. Nearby was a dilapidated stone lion.
Quietly, he took out a dark red piece of chalk and drew a check mark on it. Yes, just a check mark. Then they could leave.
The next part of the story takes place in Baishui Village. It is a Yunnan inn.
Yang Zhisong will appear there.
Back in Room 713. Fang Muyu has finished making the phone call.
She sees Zhang Yong staring at her blankly. She panics. She instinctively covers her body.
She really can't take it anymore.
'Finished making the call?'
'Yes.'
'Everything is arranged.'
'Everything is arranged.'
'Just do it quickly.'
'What?'
'Kill someone.'
Zhang Yong's words were concise and to the point.
What did you tell me to arrange? Of course it's to kill someone!
Do you think I told you to arrange a blind date?
You're thinking too much.
'No. Wait.' Fang Muyu suddenly reacted, "Killing someone, we don't know how to do that!'
'What?" Zhang Yong seemed a little distracted, and then he came to his senses, 'Oh, I made a mistake. I thought you were also a Japanese spy. My brain. Alas, wine and sex really harm people...'
Fang Muyu: !@#¥%%...
Are you blaming me?
Did I get you into this? You got me into this, didn't you?
Bastard...
And you're turning this around on me!
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Yong made a surprising statement.
'Xia Lan is a Japanese spy. I mistook her for you. I'm sorry. I apologise.'
'What?'
Fang Muyu was stunned.
Xia Lan?
A Japanese spy?
