Chapter 225: The boss's rival

He returned to the headquarters of the Goose and Chicken Alley with the newcomer.

Both the boss and Secretary Mao came out to greet them. It showed how much importance they attached to the event.

The biggest result of the welcoming ceremony was that everyone felt that Zhang Yong came from a distinguished background.

He was young.

He was highly regarded.

He was definitely the son of some official!

Who would have believed that Zhang Yong had only joined the Fuxing Society a few months ago.

'Young Long.'

'Come here!'

After the welcome ceremony, Zhang Yong was called into the office by the department head. Mao Renfeng followed.

The department head seemed in a good mood. He kept his head up and his expression was not so serious. Even the curtains in the office were pulled back a little. The office was also much brighter.

A happy person is a happy person!

On the way, Mao Renfeng quietly told Zhang Yong that the department head might receive a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

This is a good thing. The Director has never received one before.

The Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun is awarded to military personnel who have made meritorious service in defending the country and protecting the nation against foreign aggression. Capturing Japanese spies certainly counts.

Since the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun was established in 1929, those who have received it are all big shots. At least they are generals or division commanders. For example, the two big shots of the 19th Route Army.

It is really very difficult for the Director, who is only a small fish from the sixth class of the Whampoa Military Academy, to receive this medal.

But now, there is a good chance.

Catching so many Japanese spies is a great achievement.

If the Director really gets the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, it will be a great boost to the Restoration Society.

'What have you found recently?' the Director asked Zhang Yong.

'We found a Nan agency that has popped up. They are responsible for sabotage,' Zhang Yong reported cautiously.

The activities of each Japanese spy are scattered. They are hardly related.

It seems that countless points have popped up.

When ordinary people capture Japanese spies, they dig one out and follow the clues to catch them.

It is rare for there to be several Japanese spies on different lines at the same time.

It is even rarer for there to be Japanese spies from different secret services.

However, Zhang Yong's direct 'scanning' method captures Japanese spies in a very fragmented manner.

This Japanese spy is doing that.

That Japanese spy is doing that.

There is almost no connection.

'The arsenal?'

'Yes. Take Takekawa Kumazo as one example. The one who stole the blueprints and tried to blow up the arsenal was also the Nan Kuan organisation.'

'Have you caught anyone?'

'The target has been locked in. His name is Kuroshima Ryuzo. He is said to be a member of the Japanese imperial family.'

'What?'

The section chief's face visibly tightened.

A member of the Japanese imperial family? This situation is a bit serious!

If it were an ordinary Japanese spy, there would definitely be no discussion about catching him. The Japanese would not dare say anything. But if it were a member of the imperial family...

'I haven't seen Kuroshima Ryuuzyo yet. I don't know if it's true or not.'

'Be cautious.'

'Yes.'

Zhang Yong stood up straight and promised.

It seems that being a member of the Japanese imperial family is really a golden ticket to immunity from death.

Even the department head is very cautious.

If someone of this status is arrested, it could easily cause a huge uproar.

If they just shoot him...

'Let's discuss the handling of this Kuroshima Ryuuzyo at length.'

'Understood.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

That means no action for now. No arrest. No killing.

Of course, that's only if the other party doesn't start firing first. If they do, then I'm sorry.

Just kill them. And don't announce their deaths. Act like you don't know anything.

'How's the investigation into Madam's connections going?'

'No obvious progress yet. We only know about a magpie working. Trying to turn Madam...'

'Be discreet.'

'Understood.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

In fact, there were routine reports on both lines of investigation.

However, Zhong Yang is responsible for routine reporting. Unless there is significant progress, there is no need for Zhang Yong to report personally.

Therefore, the higher-ups still have control over the actions of each team.

It is very rare for even the department head to not know what someone like Chun Yu Chi is doing. It is also hard to accept.

Of course, Zhong Yang will not report on the personal actions of some teams.

'Liu Heizi is a good identity. Use it well.'

'Yes.'

Zhang Yong replied with awe.

The Director of the Department was of course aware of this identity.

Even if he didn't report it, Zhongyang and Wu Liuqi would have included it in their routine reports.

ADVERTISEMENT

Of course, they wouldn't have recorded things like the collection of money.

There were some occasions where only Zhang Yong was present, and they wouldn't have known about that either. Of course they couldn't have written about it.

Therefore, Zhang Yong himself was unable to judge how much the Director of the Department knew about him. Perhaps a lot. Perhaps very little. He was extremely deep.

'Hangzhou...'

Mao Renfeng suddenly whispered.

The Director nods. But he doesn't say anything. He just sits there.

Zhang Yong is puzzled.

Hangzhou?

What's going on in Hangzhou?

'Not for now,' the Director says suddenly.

'Then I'll reply to the Hangzhou Garrison Command,' Mao Renfeng whispers.

'I'll speak to Commander Xuan myself.'

'Yes!'

Mao Renfeng goes out.

Zhang Yong is puzzled. Hangzhou? Commander Xuan?

'Old business.'

'Yes,'

'Do you remember when the Hangzhou police cadets came to Shanghai and the train derailed?'

'Yes.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Of course he remembered. He had thought that the cadets would never arrive.

Fortunately, in the end, everything was fine. Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi arrived safely. That was when he became a squad leader.

If it hadn't been for those cadets, he might still be running errands.

'Actually, there is something going on.'

'What is it?'

'The deputy director of the Ministry of Justice, Zhou, was killed. The train derailed, and he happened to be at the derailment site.'

'Huh?'

Zhang Yong was slightly shocked.

He hadn't heard about it. Had the news been suppressed?

An undersecretary had been killed. That was definitely a big deal. And yet he hadn't heard about it.

Li Boqi...

No, Li Boqi must have known. But he hadn't told him.

Perhaps he didn't think it was necessary. Indeed, he had been captured and brought to Jinling afterwards. He had completely let go of what had happened in Hangzhou.

Now that it was suddenly mentioned...

'This matter was requested by the Commander of Hangzhou for me to investigate.'

'Did you find out anything?'

'No.'

'Not even a clue?'

'There was a clue. But it was inconclusive. I never found out what happened.'

'You want me to go?'

'Yes. You should go. You go yourself.'

'Huh...'

Zhang Yong suddenly felt a chill.

Again, he was going alone? No way. It was too dangerous to take the train by himself.

He had to at least bring Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi and the others with him.

Without a dozen people, if you go far away, you won't know how you died.

He is now acting alone and dares only to stay inside Jinling.

There are many military police in Jinling, and the Japanese invaders dare not take too many assassination measures.

As long as the gun goes off, the surrounding military police can come to the rescue.

However, if he leaves Jinling and goes outside, especially on the train, he will definitely be slaughtered if he is alone. Others can kill him anyway they want.

I don't understand.

Can't you bring a few more people?

Seemingly reading his thoughts, Mao Renfeng said with a meaningful smile, 'Commander Xuan is in charge of his own area!'

Okay, I get it. This Commander Xuan is no pushover.

Relying on the fact that he was in the first class at Whampoa Military Academy, he definitely doesn't take his junior classmate, the Chief, seriously.

Asking Zhang Yong to go over and help in his personal capacity would have little impact. But if Zhang Yong went over with his own team, that would be a formal intervention.

Xuan Shengda did not want outsiders to interfere. Chu Zuo, however, wanted to formally intervene. There was a conflict.

It seems that the conflict between the two has always been there.

Later, the Military United Front was disbanded, and Xuan Tiewu also had an influence.

In short, this Xuan Tiewu has always been Chu Zuo's rival. Until Chu Zuo died unexpectedly.

The power struggle is very complicated.

He might as well play dumb.

'Qi Wu, you take him to the vocational school!'

'Yes.'
