Chapter 221: Members of the Imperial Family

Wei Jinfu's panic was not unfounded.

The people in front of him were all thugs. It could even be said that they were scum. They didn't care about their lives. They had no bottom line.

For them, killing and robbing were everyday occurrences.

If they fall into the hands of the Fuxing Society, they may be interrogated, but if they fall into the hands of these gangsters, they will lose their lives at the drop of a hat.

He doesn't want to die.

If he wanted to die, he would have died long ago. How could he possibly reveal his identity?

"I have a few questions for you.'

'Yes...'

'First, what do you know about the assassination of Madame Chiang?'

'What...'

'Don't hide anything. Otherwise, if I find from the account books that you provided the funds, I will use a bamboo skewer to impale your left thumb...'

'I really don't know. I really don't know. The assassinations were all carried out by the Nan Agency.'

'Who is in charge of the Nan Agency?'

'I don't know. The only person I contacted was Takeshiro Kumazawa.'

'Oh? You know Takeshiro Kumazawa?'

'Yes...'

Wei Jinfu answered helplessly.

He now had every reason to believe that the other person might be an agent of the Fuxing Society.

Otherwise, why would they be asking such detailed questions?

However, now that things had come to this, it no longer mattered what the other person's identity was.

What mattered was that he had already given in.

At this moment, his greatest hope was that the other person really was from the underworld. Only in this way would he have a way out.

'What does the Nan Agency do?'

'Specialises in sabotage. Assassinations. Kidnappings. Explosions. And so on.'

'Do you know their plans?'

'They won't tell me. I'm just responsible for funding them?'

'So you also belong to the Nan Agency?'

'I...'

'Tell the truth.'

'I don't belong to any agency...'

'Oh?'

Zhang Yong's mind twitched.

Doesn't belong to any agency? This is a new discovery!

There were so many Japanese spy agencies. This guy doesn't belong to any of them?

In that case, his identity is very high-level?

Haha, there is hope!

'I...'

'Don't you find it hard to be so evasive?'

'I...'

'If you tell me what's going on, I promise I won't betray you. You can continue to be the boss of Wei Feng Silver Shop. I can even offer you protection. When I become big and strong and create new glories in the future, you will also have a big part to play. Not to mention, I can make the whole of Jinling do business with Wei Feng Silver Shop only. Wouldn't that be great?'

'Are you really not a member of the Fuxing Society?'

'What good would joining the Fuxing Society do me? I'd only get a few silver dollars a month.'

'But...'

'Look at my face. See anything? Lipstick. Who kissed me? Kamikawa Kagami did.'

'What?'

Wei Jinfu froze.

Even in his position, he knew of Kamikawa Kagami.

Because Kamikawa Kagami's current identity had been made public. Moreover, she was the person in charge sent by the Special High Police Department.

Liu Heizi actually knew Kamikawa Kagami?

And it seems that his relationship with her is very good?

He even kissed his cheek!

Oh, Amaterasu-sama, what is going on?

However, since the other party had mentioned Kamikawa Kagami, he had nothing to hide.

'I am directly under the Shanghai Consulate-General's Staff Department.'

'Your Consulate-General also has a Staff Department?'

'Yes.'

'Continue.'

Zhang Yong shook his head. He did not pursue the matter further.

At this time, the Japanese Consulate-General in Shanghai was absolutely a behemoth.

How should I put it?

Among all foreign consulates, it had the most staff, the largest footprint, and was protected by a large army.

How many troops?

More than all the foreign troops in the concession. A full 5,000.

That's right. This was a very strange Consulate-General. It had an army with an entire infantry brigade. In nearby Hongkou, there was also the Japanese marines' headquarters.

The 19th Route Army fought so hard back then, but unfortunately the result was unsatisfactory.

The Japanese invaders still got what they wanted in the end. They stationed a very strong military force in the Songhu area.

Two years later, the Songhu War broke out, and hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops launched an offensive, but they failed to eliminate the Japanese marines and a Japanese army brigade.

This shows the Japanese army's formidable fighting power.

When the main Japanese army was transferred here and switched from defending to attacking, the National Army completely lost hope of victory.

'The second question is about the plans for Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum...'

'Nan Kuan stole them.'

'Oh?'

'They want to blow up Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum.'

'Oh?'

Zhang Yong's eyes flashed.

It was like finding a needle in a haystack, but it had been easy. He had the answer.

It was Nan Kuan.

They actually want to blow up Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum.

These lunatics.

'Where is the blueprint now?'

'I really don't know. I only know that they have it.'

'When are they planning to do it?'

'I really don't know the details. I won't ask. And I won't tell.'

'Then how do you know they want to blow up Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum?'

'Because Nan Jiguan asked for 30,000 silver dollars. I had to ask what it was for!'

'30,000?'

'Yes. They were being greedy, and I didn't think it was right. So I reported it to the Consulate General.'

'How much was given in the end?'

'Three thousand.'

'Haha!'

Zhang Yong suddenly laughed.

He had received professional training, and no matter how funny something was, he would not laugh. Unless he couldn't help it.

He just couldn't hold back just now.

Sure enough, human nature is the same everywhere. There are also experts at fleecing the Nan Agency.

If something can be resolved with 3,000 yuan, it's reported directly as 30,000. That's quite an appetite.

Damn, just exaggerate it ten times. I wouldn't dare.

Looks like I'm still being conservative. I can be crazier next time.

'Who is so bold?'

'I...'

'Speak!'

'Kuroshima Ryuzo.'

'Say it again.'

'Kuroshima Ryuzo.'

'Why is he so bold?'

'Because...'

'Speak!'

'He is a member of the imperial family. He is very important.'

'Oh?'

Zhang Yong's thoughts suddenly became active.

A member of the imperial family? What a rare treasure!

Damn, before, when they caught so many Japanese spies, it seemed that none of them had any special status.

None of them were worth anything in themselves.

There was nothing there except for the wealth that came with the cover identities.

Only Lin Xiaoyan was ransomed back.

Unexpectedly, on this very quiet night, a member of the imperial family has suddenly appeared! If we capture this guy, doesn't that mean that the ransom money will keep coming?

Haha!

Just thinking about this, he suddenly felt no longer sleepy.

His work had meaning!

His life had a future!

Kuroshima Ryuzo...

Wait, let me take a little notebook to remember this. I'll take it out and look at it a few times every day. Deepen the memory.

Wei Jinfu: ...

I'm screwed.

It seems he has made a terrible mistake.

From the look on the other man's face, he can tell that he has set his sights on Kuroshima Ryujo.

Damn it!

I want to slap myself.

I'm asking for death!

If anyone else finds out that Kuroshima Ryujo was named by him, they will definitely skin him alive!

'Don't be nervous...' Zhang Yong said reassuringly.

'I...' Wei Jinfu wanted to cry but had no tears. He thought to himself, how can I not be nervous?

What's the difference between what I told you and a full confession? Even if I was arrested by the Fuxing Society, I would never confess so much.

The problem is, that's just the strange thing about this. If he was arrested by the Fuxing Society, he might still be able to put up a fight. But now, there's no way he can put up a fight.

The Fuxing Society's agents might still be human.

But this one in front of me is not human at all!

'We keep informants' identities confidential,' Zhang Yong said seriously.
