Chapter 191: Apocalypse Tank

The scene soon calmed down.

It was as if nothing had happened.

It seemed that everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing. The beautiful ladies were still chatting and laughing.

There were a few more black-clad ronin.

There were also some Japanese people quietly walking around.

The system map showed that some of the small red dots had just become much more active, obviously something was going on.

The Japanese are just being very discreet. They haven't made it public.

Chu Chu is sitting next to Zhang Yong, serving him attentively. Most of her body is leaning on his chest.

Lin Xiaoyan is also sitting next to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong knows full well that he is enjoying the company of two women.

But this is not a good thing.

Chu Chu is worried that he will take the jewellery away and not give it to her. Then all her previous efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, she must always be close to him, so that he won't run away.

Lin Xiaoyan, on the other hand, has a hunch that he is suspicious. Although she has no evidence, she just can't let him go. She won't let him leave alone.

'Miss Mirror, was the jewellery stolen?' Zhang Yong pretended to figure out the truth.

'Yes. A jadeite necklace is missing. And two bracelets.' This time, Lin Xiaoyan didn't hide it.

It's useless.

Sooner or later, the other party will find out.

Besides, she also wanted to see Zhang Yong's reaction when he found out.

'Is it valuable?'

'Of course.'

'How much can it be sold for?'

'I don't know. But it must be very valuable.'

'How much exactly?'

'What do you care?'

'In case I get it, I'll sell it and see how much I can make.'

'That necklace was once the exclusive property of Empress Dowager Ci'an. It was a tribute from Burma. It is said to have been passed down from the Kangxi era. It is priceless...'

'I'm just asking. What's the exact figure?'

'Three million.'

'Dollars?'

'Yes!'

'Ah...'

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.

Three million dollars! My goodness. That's a lot of money.

I really want to sell it.

But I can't.

It's a national treasure! How can I sell it?

And I can't give it back to Chu Chu. Otherwise, Mengde will definitely dispose of it.

If Chu Chu hadn't stuffed it in his hand, he probably wouldn't have taken it. But she offered it to him. He couldn't refuse.

When she asks...

What?

The necklace?

What necklace?

Where's the necklace?

Heh heh.

He's shameless.

Right now, he's rapidly degenerating in some way.

From the beginning, when he was pointed at with a gun and peed on the spot, to the present, he dares to sell radios in private. His courage has expanded like a water tank.

He dares to embezzle things from the Fuxing Society. Not to mention the Mengde Society?

'What's the origin of the bracelet?'

'It was passed down from Empress Yi'an of the Ming Dynasty. It's also very precious.'

'Who is Empress Yi'an?'

'The wife of Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Yan.'

'Emperor Tianqi?'

'What?'

'Who was Emperor Tianqi?'

'One of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong sensibly kept quiet.

In fact, he knew Emperor Tianqi. The one who liked to be a carpenter.

But he pretended not to know. Because he shouldn't know.

Besides, he wasn't interested in Emperor Tianqi. Tianqi tanks were more fun. Twin-barrelled ones. They could shoot planes and tanks. It was awesome.

Every time you could gather 15 Tianqi tanks, you could basically sweep the battlefield.

Just thinking about it makes me excited. Unfortunately, the system won't be activated for another two years. We'll just have to wait patiently. Oh well, a few Kirov airships would be nice too...

'What are you thinking?'

Lin Xiaoyan noticed the change in Zhang Yong's expression.

Judging from her professional skills, Zhang Yong must be thinking nonsense.

This damned bastard!

She hated this guy very much. She really wanted to kill him.

He had humiliated her.

He had even whipped her.

However, she would prefer to turn the other person to her side. Help the Empire of Japan.

With this guy's ability to catch spies, if he is willing to defect to the Empire of Japan, the Special High Commission will definitely make great strides in catching red elements.

Of course, she would never know that Zhang Yong would only catch Japanese spies. He would catch nothing else.

She would think that this guy's expertise is catching spies of all kinds. Among them are spies from the Red Polar Bear.

Now, the biggest task of the Special High Police Department is to fight against the Reds.

Almost all anti-Japanese elements in Manchukuo are related to the Reds. Behind them is the Red Polar Bear.

Japan has the Special High Police Department and the Military Police Command. The Red Polar Bear has the Internal Affairs Committee and the General Security Administration. The infiltration ability of the Red spies is also unparalleled. It is a big headache for the Japanese high-level officials.

The Kwantung Army Command has had several cases of confidential information being leaked, but they have never been able to find the real culprit.

There were also strange leaks of information from the General Headquarters.

Moreover, almost all of the leaked information was of a strategic level. This shows that the spy's position was very high.

It is very likely that the spy is a member of the General Headquarters.

Or it could be a member of an organisation outside the General Headquarters.

ADVERTISEMENT

This is very painful.

If the spy is not uncovered, it will be even more painful.

But, on the other hand, if the spy is uncovered, it will be the supreme achievement of the Special High Police Department. It will be glorious beyond compare.

Lin Xiaoyan (Mirrors Uekawa) had lofty goals and wanted to work hard for them.

'Can you take me to the scene to have a look?'

'Sure!'

Lin Xiaoyan stood up. She made a gesture of invitation.

She only invited Zhang Yong.

She didn't hide it and ignored Chu Chu.

Zhang Yong followed behind her. They entered the exhibition hall next door.

There were several glass display cases here. They were very gorgeously decorated. Inside were all kinds of gorgeous jewellery.

There weren't many of them. But they were very valuable.

In the centre, the most conspicuous showcase was broken.

And there was another showcase in the corner. It was also broken.

Back then, there was no such thing as bulletproof glass. Glass was still relatively easy to break.

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Division of labour.

Meng Dehui would have been there with other people.

Perhaps it was one of those noble ladies. She and Chu Chu had been working together.

Chu Chu's task was to be responsible for diversion.

Haha. This is getting interesting. If he refuses to hand over the necklace, what will the beauties of the Mengde Club do to him?

Kill him?

Dismember his body?

'There were at least three people at the scene,' Zhang Yong said casually.

'Really?' Lin Xiaoyan said noncommittally.

She judged that there were two people.

Zhang Yong judged that there were three people. What was his basis?

"One of them is an insider.'

'What?'

'One of them is one of your own people.'

'No way!'

Lin Xiaoyan flatly denied.

Zhang Yong then shut up. He didn't say another word.

Haha. He was just making things up. He deliberately created confusion for the other person.

What three people, what people from your own side, he knows nothing about.

However, as long as he could sow doubt within the Japanese invaders, his goal was achieved.

'Is there really a traitor?'

'Damn...'

Lin Xiaoyan was doubtful.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there really might be a traitor.

After all, this was Zhang Yong's professional judgment. His professionalism was beyond doubt.

How could this be proven?

The Tongji Department had been raided, what more proof was needed?

The Tan Department had also suffered heavy losses, what more proof was needed?

Now even the Huai Department had been exposed...

Bastard!

What kind of freak is this guy?

Thinking back to the process of her own capture, it was even more bizarre and inexplicable.

She could only say that if such a talent could be recruited, she would be willing to pay any price!

Zhang Yong returned to his seat. He continued to sit there.

He studied the map in silence.

Of course, he wasn't studying people.

At the moment, the map was full of little red dots, so there was nothing to study.

But he could study the structure of the entire consulate. Little by little, he looked for a way to retreat. In case of a real firefight, how would he retreat?

He could also determine what each room was used for.

Some rooms had red dots moving around inside, indicating that they were offices. They were guarded.

Some rooms have never had any red dots enter. This suggests that they may be secret rooms. Or closed areas. They are classified as confidential areas.

In the southeast corner of the consulate, there is an area where no red dots have ever entered. But there are always four red dots outside that stay put, which suggests that there is something wrong with this area.

It may be a key protection area. There may be some secrets inside. So there are always four soldiers stationed there.

You can also see several Japanese squads patrolling back and forth in a regular pattern.

Each squad is seven people. There are five such squads. They patrol back and forth in a crisscross pattern. It's very tight.

It's impossible to avoid all the patrol squads.

After the theft, the number of red dots outside the consulate increased a lot. This indicates that the Japanese invaders have called in reinforcements.

It's not easy.

You can't break through using force.

One person definitely can't do it.

Even if it's Wang Tianmu or Chen Gongshu, it's still difficult.

Unless there's a commando squad. And they're well-equipped with weapons. And they carry enough ammunition.

Even so, it would come at a considerable cost.

The Japanese invaders of this period were of extremely high fighting quality. They were very accurate with their guns. Their skills were very strong.

If the regular National Army encountered them, they might not be able to win even if they fought ten against one.

The subsequent Battle of Shanghai proved this point.

Suddenly, she sensed a large group of red dots moving. She opened her eyes quietly.

She saw a middle-aged Japanese man wearing a grey robe, leading a large group of Japanese people past.

Lin Xiaoyan stood up. She bent down. She bowed.

'Isozaki Rensuke?'

Zhang Yong mused.

He judged that the other party might be Isozaki Rensuke.

Haha. This old spy. Finally, he has shown up. Has he come to check out the scene in person?

In fact, the loss of a necklace and two bracelets is not a big deal. But the Japanese must feel very humiliated. They were actually burgled in the consulate.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

With the Japanese arrogance, they definitely can't stand it.

So, there will be more exciting events to come.
