The air suddenly became quiet.
Even Song Ziyu could feel the tension.
She gripped Zhang Yong's hand tightly.
Zhang Yong: ...
Oh, you're scared?
What are you scared of? They won't dare touch you.
You're from the Song family.
If they want to move, they'll move someone like me.
Stay calm.
Really.
At times like these, he can let go.
The worst that can happen is that they pull the pin. Everyone goes together. Killing Colonel Iwasa and taking Lin Xiaoyan with them will be enough to make it worth their while.
Of course, the prerequisite is to send Song Ziyu away.
'You go and have some fun elsewhere. I'll talk to them about some professional matters.'
'Okay.'
Song Ziyu obediently left.
She knew that if she stayed, she would only be a hindrance.
'You've got a lot of nerve! How dare you come barging into our territory!' Iwakura Yuji sneered.
'I'm here to collect a reward,' Zhang Yong said calmly. 'You shouldn't go back on your word. Of course, it doesn't matter if you do. I know what kind of people you are...'
'Baka!' Iwakura Yuji flew into a rage. 'I'll kill you!'
'Go ahead,' Zhang Yong said, taking a stance that defied death.
You want to kill me?
Of course you can. But you will definitely die too.
'Dazhuo, calm down,' Lin Xiaoyan frowned. She was obviously quite afraid.
There were consuls from several countries present today, and if there was any trouble, it would definitely be bad for Japan's reputation. They would not be forgiven by the higher-ups.
Iwasaku Yuji of course knew the consequences. His face darkened, and he slowly sat down.
'Where is Wu Yuanfu?'
'I don't know. I didn't arrest him.'
'Baka! If you didn't arrest him, how did he disappear?'
'I said no, and that means no.'
Zhang Yong replied calmly. He happened to see a waiter passing by, so he waved his hand.
Soon, a cocktail was in front of him.
Iwasa Yuji's eyes were burning with anger.
Lin Xiaoyan frowned inwardly.
Wu Yuanfu wasn't arrested? Then where did he go?
She could fully understand Iwasa Yuji's feelings. The disappearance of Wu Yuanfu was very strange.
Now, they had every reason to believe that this Wu Yuanfu (Sakata Kazuo) had probably turned the gun on them and was coming back to deal with them. And he had started to massacre his own people.
No one knew what had happened in the meantime. Except Zhang Yong.
But Zhang Yong definitely wouldn't say.
'Baka! You dare to do it but not to take responsibility! You're not a real man!'
'I really didn't catch Wu Yuanfu.'
Zhang Yong's expression was indifferent.
Did I catch Wu Yuanfu? Of course not.
It was Zhuo Yungui and Huang Shang who arrested him. What has it got to do with me, Zhang Yong? I was only in charge of the interrogation.
'Baka!'
Wakuo Iwasa was impatient and angry.
He was desperate for information. Unfortunately, Zhang Yong was not forthcoming.
'Actually...'
Lin Xiaoyan suddenly spoke meaningfully.
Zhang Yong lifted his cocktail glass. He took a sip.
Not bad. It tastes pretty good.
'You're a talented person. It's a pity that you're wasting your talents...'
'What do you mean?'
'If you could join our Empire...'
'Are you trying to turn me?'
'I'm just stating a fact. Isn't that so?'
'Forget it. If I joined you, Colonel Iwasaki would tear me apart first. You think I'm stupid?'
'Baka!'
Iwasaki's rage boiled over.
His anger was directed at Lin Xiaoyan.
The Special High School knows nothing!
Trying to recruit Zhang Yong?
Go to hell!
He absolutely will not agree to it!
He just wants to crush Zhang Yong into dust!
'Look...'
Zhang Yong helplessly folded his arms.
Lin Xiaoyan bit her lip. She remained silent. Then she ordered a cocktail.
'Where's the pure gold Buddha's head? Give it back!' Iwatsuki Yuji continued to yell angrily.
'What?' Zhang Yong pretended to be dumb.
What a joke. I'll give it back to you. That's our Chinese thing!
You stole our national treasure and we confiscated it. Now you're threatening me to give it back?
Arrogant.
Stupid!
'The pure gold Buddha's head!'
'Oh. That. Easy. One million taels of silver.'
'What?'
'You give me one million taels of silver. I give you the pure gold Buddha's head.'
'Baka!'
Iwatsuki Yuji gritted his teeth.
One million taels of silver! Who do you think you are?
I don't even have one!
'And, for just 100,000 taels of silver, I will tell you everything you need to know about Wu Yuanfu...'
'Baka!'
'Mr. Iwazaku, my price is very reasonable. If you are sincere, you can seriously consider it...'
'Baka! Shut up!'
Colonel Iwazaku was furious. He wanted to strangle Zhang Yong on the spot.
It was lucky that this guy didn't mention the taels of silver. As soon as he mentioned them, he almost exploded in his tracks.
The money trees of the Tongji Agency had all been destroyed by Zhang Yong's misfortune!
Starting with Meng Chaowei, Lou Qicheng, Wang Defa, Qiu Shuqing, and Wang Deling, none of them were not exposed by Zhang Yong?
These people were all golden roosters of the Tongji Agency! The Tongji Agency's funding came from them.
Unexpectedly, they were all wiped out by Zhang Yong. Not even a single penny was left.
In the past, the Tongji Agency had very abundant funding, and it could easily mobilise hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But now, it's difficult to get even a few thousand dollars!
Because of this tragic result, he was called to Fengtian by Tojio Kenji and severely criticized. He finally managed to get away and come back.
What a great shame!
He swore that he would definitely take revenge!
He must crush this son of a bitch a million times!
If he captures the other party alive, he must be tortured to death by a hundred thousand cuts! Even if there is one cut less, he will not be able to vent his terrible hatred.
'Baka! I will kill you ten thousand times!'
'I'm scared. Really.'
'You will definitely not end well if you oppose the Great Japanese Empire.'
'I know.'
'Unless you cooperate obediently.'
'Colonel Iwasaki, your words reveal your IQ...'
'Baka!'
Colonel Iwasaki suddenly stood up.
He reached out to strangle Zhang Yong.
Suddenly, he saw the black muzzle of a gun. But it was Zhang Yong who had drawn his gun.
For a moment, Colonel Iwasa was shocked and angry. His mind went blank. His body subconsciously ducked backwards. As a result, he bumped into someone.

'Boom!'
'Clatter...'
Some glasses fell to the ground. They shattered. They made a crisp sound.
Then someone screamed. A woman was knocked over. She was scared and her face paled. Everyone's attention was focused on Colonel Iwasa.
'You!'
'Baka!'
'You have a gun!'
Iwazaki Yuji yelled hysterically.
Lin Xiaoyan's face also changed. She stood up abruptly. She looked agile.
'You're wrong,'
Zhang Yong said calmly.
A gun?
Where?
Who saw it?
'Search me,' he said to Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyan came up half-believing and skillfully searched his whole body. Of course, there was nothing to find.
She couldn't help but glance at Iwasa Kōji again. She felt that he had lost his composure.
If Zhang Yong had a gun on him, she would have found it. She was a professional spy after all!
'Did you find anything?'
'No!'
'So, isn't he a little bit crazy?'
'Baka!'
Iwasa Kōji was furious again.
His anger level was already 999, and now it was heading straight for 9999...
Baka!
How dare he call himself crazy!
'Dazaku-sama, calm down. We are the masters!' Lin Xiaoyan was very dissatisfied. And a little contemptuous.
Zhang Yong clearly didn't have a gun on him. And yet you were scared like this.
If this gets out, people are going to die of laughter.
After all, you are the head of the Tongji Agency and have the rank of major. How can you be so timid?
Acting aggressively only shows that you are weak on the inside.
From a professional point of view, she felt that Zhang Yong completely outshone Iwasaku Yuji.
'Baka!'
Iwatsuki Yuji directly cursed Lin Xiaoyan.
The other party was from the Special High Court. Not from the Kirin Agency. The two were not subordinate to each other.
In the eyes of the Kirin Agency, the women from the Special High Court were purely in the way.
Lin Xiaoyan turned her head and looked at Zhang Yong.
'Zhang-san, please consider my suggestion seriously.'
'Colonel Iwatsuki will not let me go.'
'I promise, as long as you are willing, he will not have any influence on you.'
'I don't believe you.'
'You should know that in the Empire of Japan, the rank of colonel is not the highest.'
'What do you mean?'
Zhang Yong knew full well what he was asking.
He was actually deliberately provoking Iwasa Kuni.
Look, your accomplice despises you. He says that your rank of colonel is worthless.
Indeed, in the presence of the generals and admirals, the rank of colonel is indeed not impressive.
At the same time, Lin Xiaoyan was also warning Iwasa Kuni.
Don't do anything rash.
Don't think you're so great just because you're a major general.
If you affect the interests of the Empire, you, a major general, can be eliminated at any time.
'Baka!'
However, at this moment, Iwazaku Mataji was still furious.
The man who had defeated him was right in front of him, but he could do nothing about the other party. It can be imagined how difficult it was for him inside.
What's more, the other party was still leisurely sipping cocktails!
Damn it!
What's even more annoying is that after he finished his drink, he refilled his glass!
Ahhh!
Ahhh!
You're still refilling your glass! Refilling your glass! Refilling your glass...
Iwasa Kōji felt like he was about to explode.
'Boom...'
'Clatter!'
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from next door.
Lin Xiaoyan's face changed. It seemed that she had thought of something. She immediately stood up and walked quickly to the next room.
Iwasa Kōji also rushed over quickly. The scene was a bit chaotic.
However, there were no heavily armed Japanese soldiers. Instead, there were more black-clad figures.
These black-clad figures were all wearing loose-fitting black robes. The cracks in the middle of the robes revealed the short hilt of a knife. They were obviously Japanese ronin.
Without a word, they cordoned off all the halls.
It was obvious that they had been prepared for this.
Zhang Yong sat quietly. From time to time, he looked around. As if he was also a little curious.
Someone is stirring up trouble.
It might be Chu Chu.
This woman is really desperate for results.
She's openly stealing jewellery like this. She really isn't afraid of death.
He sat still.
He guessed that Chu Chu would come back.
He was her cover. She had to use him as a tool to get away.
Sure enough, soon Chu Chu came back.
She quickly sat next to him. She shoved a package of something into his lap.
'Who exactly are you?'
'Mengde Club.'
'Oh!'
Zhang Yong nodded. He took the package and looked at it without looking at it. He judged that it was a necklace. It might be jade or something.
In addition to the necklace, there seemed to be bracelets? More than one?
This woman is really greedy. I want to die. Do you think you can take this out of the consulate?
Do you really think the Japanese are all idiots! Don't you want to live!
Put everything in the carry-on space.
'Don't move!'
'Don't move!'
Just then, Lin Xiaoyan returned.
She brought a group of black-clad ronin and surrounded Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong looked at the other party calmly.
Chu Chu, on the other hand, raised her hands in a little panic.
'Don't move!'
Lin Xiaoyan came up. She searched the two of them.
She searched very carefully. She didn't even spare the most private parts.
There was nothing.
She couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that she had judged wrongly? Could it be that Zhang Yong hadn't actually done it?
'What's wrong?'
Zhang Yong asked curiously in a low voice.
The main point was to be a pure baby. To say that you haven't done anything bad.
'It's nothing.'
Lin Xiaoyan of course wouldn't tell him the truth.
Zhang Yong didn't pursue it either.
Take your time searching! I'll slowly drink my cocktail.
The exciting programme for tonight may have just begun!
