Chapter 171: Traitor
Zhang Yong arrived at Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum.
From a distance, the car was stopped by the police.
Even showing his Fuxing Society ID card was useless. He was told to wait for instructions from his superiors.
A complete blockade was in place. No one was allowed in or out.
That was fine.
He could wait.
If they wouldn't let him pass, he could just relax.
He pulled over in a shady spot and started to rest.
Suddenly someone knocked on the window.
He tilted his head to look. It was Zhuo Yungui.
This guy is here?
Did the Red Party have another problem?
Haha.
The Reds I met seemed pretty weak!
I wonder what Ke Gong has arranged...
Oh, at this very moment, I wonder if Ke Gong has arrived in northern Shaanxi?
He rolled down the window.
'What is it?'
'Something's happened.'
'Just say it.'
'Someone from their side was arrested by the military police headquarters.'
'How was it done?'
'He saw injustice and helped, but offended someone in the process. He was arrested on the spot.'
'Did he reveal his identity?'
'I don't think so. He used the pseudonym Luo Changsheng. He works at the Jinling Evening News printing plant.'
'Luo Changsheng, right?'
'Yes, Luo Changsheng.'
'I'll remember that. If he hasn't revealed his identity, he should be able to be rescued. If he has, then it's hopeless.'
'Actually, it wasn't them who called. I thought you could do it.'
'Understood!'
Zhang Yong nodded.
He had long known that Zhuo Yungui had acted on his own initiative.
How could someone from the underground organisation send someone to find him? He didn't know them well.
That was a serious breach of discipline.
What's more, he was still a member of the Restoration Society. He was the sworn enemy of the underground party.
If they met on the road, it would be lucky if they didn't shoot. And they asked you for help?
It was people like Zhuo Yungui, who weren't even considered part of the outer circle, who messed around.
Frankly speaking, such behaviour is very easy to expose.
However, Zhang Yong didn't really care.
After a few months, he gradually figured out some tricks.
No matter which side it is, they will pick the softest one to squeeze. Even when it comes to catching the Red Party.
If the Red Party caught is someone with a background and connections, they can mostly be saved. If they have no background or connections, then it's hard to say.
You can see Li Yunlong's nemesis as a typical example.
Everyone knows he's a member of the Red Party. But in the end, he let the people go, didn't he? His background was that strong.
'By the way, what happened over at Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum?'
'It seems like there was a riot.'
'What?'
'It was so hot. The construction conditions were terrible. Someone died of heatstroke. The workers couldn't take it anymore and clashed with the supervisors. It was a mess.'
'No wonder...'
Zhang Yong said, wondering why martial law had been imposed on the outskirts. Even the Fuxing Society's ID cards were useless.
It seems that a mass incident has broken out. These kinds of things are always sensitive. I guess the Military Police Command will send troops to suppress it. But the Fuxing Society will have nothing to do with it.
There are only a few people in the Fuxing Society. How dare they suppress thousands of workers? They might be wiped out.
As we were talking, we saw a large number of military vehicles driving over. They were full of heavily armed soldiers. Sure enough, things have gotten out of hand.
'I'll go to the Military Police Command!'
Zhang Yong just got away.
How can they make contact when things have gotten this out of hand?
I guess Zhou Weilong will be vomiting blood.
A perfectly good plan has been ruined.
But that's not unusual.
A plan is no match for change. This is true of the Fuxing Society.
Start the car.
Leave.
Head for the Military Police Headquarters.
The afternoon sun is scorching. But there's no air conditioning in the car.
It's hot as hell. It's hot if the windows are closed. It's even hotter if the windows are open. If you're driving slowly, you'll feel like suffocating.
Jinling in later generations seems to be one of the four biggest furnaces? Amazing!
Decides to take a shortcut.
Takes a back alley.
Suddenly, a figure appears in front of her.
Looks closer. The face looks strange. It's that man again.
Yes. He's the underground party comrade.
Tries to remember. Oh. She met him five streets ago.
Maybe she startled him. As a result, he moved over here. But why is this guy hanging around outside all the time?
Come on, what on earth could be so important that you had to wander around like that?
Frown. Decided to warn the other party again.
Otherwise, if this continued, sooner or later something big would happen.
Once this guy fell into the hands of Ding and Li, it would be dangerous!
Even if he was targeted by the Fuxing Society, it would be a dead end.
It didn't matter if he died himself. He would definitely implicate other comrades. Including that lesbian who fired her gun to cover his retreat.

Park the car nearby.
Get out.
Pace up behind the target.
Deliberately let the target know that you are following him.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man soon notices him. He hurriedly quickens his pace.
Zhang Yong also quickens his pace. Continue to follow behind.
You must give the other person a sense of urgency. Make the other person feel scared. Then hide and never hang around again.
Enter a deserted alley.
Zhang Yong carefully draws his gun.
Better safe than sorry.
Maybe there is an ambush.
As it turns out...
He unexpectedly saw the other person standing in the middle of the alley. Facing him.
When he saw Zhang Yong appear, he slowly raised his hands.
Zhang Yong: ???
What's going on?
Raise your hands?
Is this a surrender? Surrender to whom?
Oh my god!
You're a Red Party member!
You're actually going to surrender? Surrender to whom?
'Me, me...'
The middle-aged man was very nervous. Very frightened. However, the raised hands never came down.
Zhang Yong held the gun and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Shit, what kind of plot is this?
I don't understand it at all. I don't know how to respond. I'm at a loss.
I'm a secret agent of the Restoration Society.
It seems normal for a Red Party member to surrender to me.
But...
Can I accept it?
Shit. A Red Party traitor wants to surrender to me!
What should I do?
This topic is way beyond the syllabus!
Should I arrest him?
Should I kick him out?
They're all given answers!
'I, I surrender, surrender...'
'State your name.'
'I, my name is Cheng Guangzhi. I'm a courier for the Sunan Work Committee. I, I, I'm willing to cooperate with you...'
'You...'
For a moment, Zhang Yong was about to shoot.
This is a traitor to the Red Party. And he actually wants to surrender. He must have information to sell.
He must kill the other person.
The problem is, if he kills the other person...
The Red Party won't know what happened, but that means he's killing the Red Party. It's hard to explain in the future.
Damn...
This is a tough choice.
I never thought I'd meet someone so strange.
No matter what I do, I'll die.
If I capture him, I'll be capturing a Red Party member.
If I shoot him, I'll be killing a Red Party member.
Shit...
To the left is a sheer cliff.
To the right is a bottomless abyss.
Steady!
Steady!
Zhang Yong took a quiet breath.
It was clear that the other person was also very nervous. After all, it was betrayal.
He should know very well what the consequences of betraying the organisation would be. The underground party forbade the use of violence. Except when punishing traitors.
'Drop your weapon!'
'I, I, I don't have a weapon...'
'Don't move!'
Zhang Yong looked around. He didn't see anyone else.
Raise the gun. Walk over carefully. Afraid that the other person is up to something. Although it is unlikely.
When he gets close to the other person, he takes out a pair of handcuffs and cuffs him.
He makes sure the cuffs are secure. He feels slightly relieved.
Then...
There is no then.
He doesn't know what to do. What should he do?
Should he take him back?
If he does, he is really screwed.
The Red Party will be arrested in droves.
But if he doesn't take him back, what should he do? Bury him somewhere?
He was at a loss...
'I, I, I'll take you to arrest the others...'
'What?'
'I know where the other Red Party members are. I'll take you to arrest them!'
'You...'
Zhang Yong once again wanted to shoot the other person.
Then he held back.
Wait.
There seems to be a way?
"You take me there first.'
'If it's not true, I'll shoot you immediately.'
