Chapter 188: Not suspenseful at all

After finishing her errands, Chuchu went to take a bath.

Zhang Yong lay on the bed, thinking about tonight, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He was an agent of the Restoration Society, and he had captured so many Japanese spies. And then he was invited to the consulate's ball!

Using a fake identity that was full of holes!

If they hadn't thrown me out at the door, the Japanese spies must be blind.

So, Chu-chu, you've really lost out.

I said I'd take you there. But I can't guarantee you'll get in. I'm not even sure I'll get in myself.

It's possible that just getting near the consulate will be a bloody battle.

But I'm not lying to you!

You know all my information.

I'm Zhang Yong. The fake identity is Liu Haizhu. You know all about it. And you even gave me an invitation card.

Prepare for battle!

Check the equipment.

The guns and stuff are fine. I don't think I'll need them.

With his marksmanship and speed of drawing his gun, he won't last a round against a skilled opponent.

The most important thing is the grenades.

You can throw them anywhere. Whoever they hit is dead.

If the Japanese want to lure the enemy in, they can throw the grenades and blow themselves up.

Will he be killed as soon as he enters?

Yes.

So, some preparations still need to be made. He is not afraid of death. As long as he is not captured alive.

'Do you want to wash up?'

Chu Chu came out. She was wearing a bathrobe.

She still looked very pretty. And fresh. Quite a bargain.

'No,'

Zhang Yong shook his head.

Who knows what might happen tonight, why take a bath?

Wash up and get ready to go?

'You know Gu Xiaoru?' Chu Chu took the initiative to start a conversation.

'Yes. She was the one who greeted me when I went to Citibank to collect the safe deposit box,' Zhang Yong responded casually.

'You've ruined her.'

'What?'

'You took out an empty box. She made a wrong judgment. She thought there were treasures inside. So she reported it to the higher-ups. Then someone from the higher-ups came and stole your suitcase. Then they found out that it was empty...'

'Wait!'

Zhang Yong suddenly felt his thoughts bursting.

Things that had previously been beyond his comprehension suddenly became clear. Ah, he hadn't been prepared for this at all.

It had suddenly been revealed to him?

That was unsatisfying. It wasn't suspenseful at all.

Gu Xiaoru?

An empty suitcase?

Oh, I understand perfectly.

It turns out that Gu Xiaoru really does have a hidden identity.

'You are...'

'I can't go into the details. Anyway, let me tell you, Gu Xiaoru is not as innocent as she seems.'

'You want me to deal with her?'

'No. She hates you. You've ruined her. She might come after you.'

'Er...'

Zhang Yong was speechless.

What do you mean I've ruined her?

It's her own bad intentions, isn't it? She's got her eye on me.

I never thought that behind her innocent appearance, she had a hidden face.

Sure enough, Zhang Wuji's mother was right. Beautiful girls like to deceive people. The more beautiful the girl, the less trustworthy she is.

'You want to go in tonight and steal the jewellery?'

'You just need to take me in.'

'I'll tell you in advance, my identity is fake. I'm still an enemy of the Japanese. They might do something to me. You know all of this. I'm not lying to you.'

'No.'

'Why?'

Zhang Yong was surprised.

You're kidding. The Japanese are not Bodhisattvas.

If there is a chance to eliminate themselves, they will definitely not let go. You are really naive.

'Because Minister He and Minister Song are also there.'

'What?'

'Two important ministers from the Nationalist government will be attending the ball tonight, as well as the four consuls from the UK, France, the Netherlands and Italy. So the Japanese won't use force.'

'What?'

'I don't know about anything big. Anyway, no one will fight inside the consulate.'

'Why didn't you say so earlier!'

Zhang Yong was suddenly relieved.

Damn. He was worried to death just now. He thought there would be a bloodbath and blood would be spilled on the spot.

But then you suddenly said that tonight's ball is a peaceful ball, a kind ball. It seems a bit uncomfortable? That's fine. Since there is no danger, I can go to the ball with a clear conscience.

'Who are the Japanese?'

'In addition to Kawashima Yoshiko, there is Isogai Rensuke...'

'Who?'

'Isogai Rensuke. He is the Japanese plenipotentiary.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong frowned inwardly.

Rensuke Isogai was also an old-school spy.

This guy was also an expert on China. He was very familiar with the situation in China.

He and Seishiro Sakagaki and Kenji Toihara were classmates.

Later, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, he served as the commander of the 10th Japanese Division and fought a bloody battle with the National Army at Taierzhuang. He suffered some losses.

However, after the battle ended, this guy still had a successful career and was transferred to the Kwantung Army.

Later, his ambition skyrocketed, and he provoked the Soviets at Nomonhan, where he was beaten to a pulp and dismissed. He later became the Governor of Hong Kong. A Class A war criminal.

'What else do you know?'

Zhang Yong suddenly realised. This Chu Chu really knows a lot.

She works at the Hotel de Paris and comes into contact with a lot of people. If she is interested, she can gather a lot of information.

Chu Chu reached out her hand.

Zhang Yong cheerfully handed her ten dollars.

'The Japanese are very opposed to this currency reform. They oppose the issuance of legal tender.'

'Why?'

'Because the issuance of legal tender is led by the UK and the US, and the Japanese don't get any benefits. Of course they want to sabotage it.'

'What does Kawashima Yoshiko want when she comes here?'

'The emperor wants to annex North China. But the Japanese don't agree.'

'So what is she doing here?'

'She is trying to get the approval of the Nationalist government.'

'Isn't that nonsense?'

Zhang Yong blinked.

The Japanese wanted to split up North China. Chiang Kai-shek disagreed.

Then Kawashima Yoshiko came and said, 'Why don't you cede it to us in Manchukuo?'

Do you think Chiang Kai-shek would slap her?

She's pushing it.

She's riding him hard.

Chiang Kai-shek's patience has its limits, right?

Don't go too far...

'Anyway, that's all I know...'

'Thanks!'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Luckily, he didn't have to do intelligence analysis.

Otherwise, just this chaotic intelligence is enough to make my head spin.

A thought occurred to him.

'Why don't you just work for me?'

'What?'

'I said, you can follow me from now on.'

'Follow you? Do you mean the Restoration Society or Liu Haizhu?'

'Liu Haizhu.'

'I can't afford to do that. You could be killed by the Japanese at any time. Both the Restoration Society and Liu Haizhu are the enemies of the Japanese. They will never let you go.'

'You...'

Zhang Yong was speechless.

You don't have to be so blunt.

It's like I'm going to die soon. Really. I might not die so soon.

'You should find Gu Xiaoru!'

'What?'

'If you want someone to serve you for a long time, I suggest you go find Gu Xiaoru.'

'Doesn't she hate me?'

'It's because of love that I hate you! Anyway, you're trash enough, can't you handle her?'

'Are you praising me? Or are you praising me?'

'Of course I'm praising you...'

Suddenly, she felt something wrong.

She had been roughly and forcibly embraced by Zhang Yong.

A thought popped into her head: Bastard, I have to shower and brush my teeth...

Finished.

Rest.

Then go down for dinner.

What?

There's a sumptuous banquet at the ball?

Yes, there is. But if you don't eat enough, you'll definitely regret it.

After all the hectic preparations, you'll probably be starving. Smart people eat something beforehand. So they don't get hungry.

Kintaro Nogaya doesn't expect anything to happen today. So, go to the ball without worry.

Get in the car. Set off. Go to the Japanese consulate.

Hand over the invitation. Sure enough, you get in without any problems. The Japanese guards don't stop you.

Not even a check. It seems the atmosphere is very relaxed. The Japanese invaders seem to be deliberately showing that they are very friendly.

Haha. The invaders' disguise. It has indeed fooled many people.

'I brought you in.'

'Good. We are even from now on.'

'Goodbye!'

Zhang Yong smiled slightly.

Chu Chu mysteriously disappeared.

Sure enough, she came for the jewellery exhibition.

This woman is really dedicated to achieving her sales target. Alas, it is indeed a sad commentary. Even people in their line of work are subject to performance reviews. It's tragic to see people so wrapped up in themselves.

Looking around, he noticed that there were a lot of people coming and going. There were a lot of beautiful women. They were dressed up and made up. Unfortunately, he didn't know any of them. He could only silently admire their beauty.

'Zhang Yong!'

Someone suddenly called out next to him.

Zhang Yong glanced over his shoulder. Oh well, he was destined to meet women.

Song Ziyu appeared.

Unexpectedly, she was actually here.

Seeing as everyone was here, it would be pointless to run away.

He could only smile faintly and put on a hypocritical face, 'Miss Song, what a coincidence...'
