Chapter 244: Jesus could not save him

Ding Meichuan is a very focused person.

How do I put it? He only targets the Red Party. He doesn't care about anything else.

This guy used to be a member of the Red Party, but later defected. He has a deep understanding of the organisation, beliefs and discipline of the Red Party.

Because this guy's theoretical knowledge is also quite profound, some Red Party members were actually convinced by him after being captured and then became traitors. There are now quite a few Red Party traitors in the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

It seems that Li Shiqun was also a member of the Red Party before? He also defected. He is also very good at dealing with the Red Party.

After all is said and done, there are still many talented people in the Red Party. Even traitors can stand on their own. Although they will be hated for thousands of years, they are very capable.

I can't help but think of Li Jingzhi.

She's a complete rookie. She knows nothing and she's making a mess of things.

Ding Muchuan could easily catch a Red like her. It would be a piece of cake. It would be a blow from a lower dimension.

She watched Ding Muchuan without showing any emotion.

Ding Muchuan had come alone. He didn't even bring his subordinates.

This guy seems a bit arrogant. He didn't even bring a bodyguard. Isn't he afraid of being ambushed?

Oh, with the Red Party's capabilities, it would be difficult to ambush him.

The Red Party doesn't even have many pistols. And assassinations are forbidden. Ding Muchuan is not a traitor...

He shook his head.

The Red Party is no good.

What if he acted on his own? Shoot him dead?

On second thought, he gave up.

Fighting alone, he might not be a match for Ding Muchuan.

He might even lose. It's not worth it.

'Looks like Ding Muchuan?' Gu Bafeng also noticed.

'Mm,' Zhang Yong nodded.

'What's he doing here?' Gu Bafeng was curious, 'Came here to arrest the Reds?'

'Maybe!' Zhang Yong's face was expressionless, 'Anyway, he's not going to come here to surrender to the Japanese. Even if he were to surrender, it's not now.'

'That's hard to say,' Gu Bafeng's expression was clearly somewhat disdainful. But he didn't say anything more.

He watched Ding Muchuan disappear into the elevator. Then they set off.

The two arrived at the dock. They continued to drink tea and chat. Unconsciously, it was evening again.

It seemed that the situation was still at an impasse. No progress had been made.

British and American warships were keeping a tight rein on the Titanic. Unfortunately, there was no way to land on the ship.

It would be certain death to go up there. That was basic common sense.

The military forces of the powers on the shore were also not making any moves. This was not a war.

To be honest, at this time, countries around the world did not have much experience in rescuing hostages and the like. There were not many professional special forces either.

Drinking tea...

Cracking peanuts...

Drinking cola...

Feeling drowsy and confused...

Another day had passed, and Zhang Yong was back at the Hotel Six Nations.

He took a shower and got ready for bed.

'Ring ring ring!'

'Ring ring ring!'

The phone suddenly rang.

Zhang Yong picked up the receiver.

It was Kitakata Taro calling again. He was even more irritable than in the morning.

'Liu Heizi!'

'What is it, Kitakata-kun?'

'Have you heard that Takekawa Kumazo is going to be released?'

'What?'

Zhang Yong was shocked.

Takekawa Kumazo being released? How is that possible?

Hasn't the military government already ordered that he be shot? How can he be released?

We'll soon be at the Bridge of No Return. Do you still want to turn back?

Absolutely impossible.

'Damn it! Didn't anyone tell you?'

'Tell me what?'

'They're going to use Kumazo Takekawa to persuade the people on board the Uranus to lay down their weapons and release the hostages.'

'Huh?'

Zhang Yong was shocked.

Release Kumazo Takekawa?

Let him go up to the Uranus?

Damn!

Who came up with this idea?

I'm going to die. I didn't prepare for this at all before!

Damn it!

It was hasty. I wasn't prepared.

I didn't expect there to be a mastermind among the Japanese. It just so happened that they rescued Takigawa Kumazo together.

I set up the situation myself, but it actually saved Takigawa Kumazo?

I feel so defeated...

Yes, the Prime Minister ordered that Takigawa Kumazo be shot. However, what he said didn't really count. If the British and Americans put pressure on him, the Prime Minister would definitely change his mind.

And the British and Americans, for the safety of their own hostages, can certainly refrain from using force if they don't have to.

If releasing Takigawa Kumazo can peacefully resolve the hostage-taking incident on the Uranus cruise ship, they will definitely exert pressure on the Japanese government. Until the Japanese government agrees.

Shit.

I didn't expect this outcome.

I originally wanted to trick the Japanese. I never expected that it would instead give Takigawa Kumazo a way out.

Who on earth was so brilliant as to come up with such a plan?

The world of espionage is full of talent. Everyone has an IQ of 180 or above.

This is so frustrating.

If I had known, I would have killed Kumazo Takekawa directly.

I could have given up money and wealth. Just kill him.

'He must be killed!'

'Kill who?'

'Kumazo Takekawa!'

Hokkō Tarō was decisive and resolute. He was cold and ruthless.

He absolutely could not let Kumazo Takekawa get out alive. Otherwise, it would be him and Yōsuke Kikuta who would die.

'How?' Zhang Yong agreed.

Releasing Takigawa Kumazo was absolutely out of the question. This guy had to die.

The other party was one of the most dangerous killers in the Nanxiang Agency. Once he got out alive, Zhang Yong's life would be in danger.

The question was, how to kill Takigawa Kumazo.

Killing him inside the Fuxing Society was definitely out of the question. No reason would do.

Moreover, it was likely that from now on, he had already been 'politely' refused to meet with Takigawa Kumazo.

There are some things he can't ask. It would be awkward if he did. Just understand.

'You come out. We'll talk in detail.'

'Okay!'

Zhang Yong nodded.

He put down the phone. He said hello to Zhong Yang.

Of course, he couldn't act alone. It was very dangerous right now.

He took Qin Lishan, Tong Luohan, and Lu Wang with him. Two cars. Eight people. They could pretty much protect themselves. If there was gunfire, they would get reinforcements.

At the agreed location, they saw Kitakata Taro.

Kitakata Taro looked much haggard. He had obviously been in a state of constant fear.

There was no way around it, the news that Takemura Kumazo was to be released had really scared him.

'Liu Sang!'

'Kitakata-kun, please sit!'

'We must start moving immediately.'

'Takemura Kumazo is still in the dungeon. He hasn't come out yet.'

'We must plan ahead.'

'What do you suggest?'

'Find a marksman. Take him out from a distance.'

'Do you have a marksman?'

'Of course not.'

'Neither do I.'

Zhang Yong shook his head helplessly.

Tong Luohan is a good marksman. So is King Lu. But they can't be used.

They are both from the Restoration Society. Using them to kill Kumazo Takekawa would definitely lead to a breach of confidentiality. They would never be able to keep their mouths shut about something so deadly.

They must find an outsider. A secret operation. One strike to the death. Then flee.

Damn, where is someone?

After thinking for a long time, a light bulb finally went off.

Li Yunyang!

She might be able to do it!

She should be a good shot.

And she should be willing to kill the Japanese invaders.

Yes!

She's the one.

We'll join forces with her as soon as possible, and...

Then, the problem arose again. When would Takekawa Kumazo be released?

Release time?

Release location?

Route?

Damn. There are so many details. I don't even know how to find out the information. It's really hard to get information without being noticed.

Suddenly, I thought of something.

'Beigang, who else in the Nan Agency doesn't want Kumazo Takekawa to get out?'

'I don't know.'

'Who is the head of the secret service agency of the Nan Agency?'

'Moriguchi Muta.'

'Where is he right now?'

'I don't know. I can't get in touch with him.'

'Really?'

Zhang Yong rubbed his chin.

Can't get in touch? What's going on?

Damn, does that mean he has to rescue the hostages himself first?

If he rescues the hostages, Takegawa Kumazo will be of no use to him. He will definitely be shot in the end.

The question is, how is he going to rescue the hostages?

Even with the help of the map, he can't deal with ten Japanese spies!

And he doesn't have the ability of Yan Shuangying...

It's so difficult. It's so hard.

'Liu Sang, this matter must be resolved!' Kitakata Taro was anxious.

'I know. I'm working on it.' Zhang Yong tried hard to remain calm. Keeping the two Japanese spies alive would be of great benefit to him.

Especially since, two years later, Shanghai and Nanjing had fallen and the Japanese invaders were everywhere. By holding onto the two spies, he could hide himself well. The two spies had so many things on him that they would definitely not dare to betray him. The dark under the lamp is relatively safe.

'This is the money to hire the killer.' Kitakata Taro took out two silver notes.

Zhang Yong: ???

What? You're paying us back?

Wow! That's great! You're paying to have your own people killed?

Great!

Great!

I like it!

Bring the banknotes over immediately.

They're all 500 yuan face value. Two. That's 1,000 yuan in total.

Indeed, for this price, you can hire a pretty good killer. It can be seen from the side that these two really want to see Takemigawa Kumazo dead.

'I'll make the arrangements right away!' Zhang Yong put the silver notes away.

'Liu Sang, please.' Bei Gang Taro actually bowed deeply to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong: ...

Okay. So sincere. I'll try.

This Takekawa Kumazo, he's a dead man. Even Jesus can't save him. Who said that? I did!

It's still possible to find an assassin.

As long as Takekawa Kumazo comes out.

The prerequisite is to get in touch with Li Yunyang. And convince her to participate in the operation.

It's done. Leave a mark. Tell Zhuo Yungui to come to me. The mark is quite special. Tell him to come as fast as he can.

Go back to the Liuguo Hotel. Go to bed.

Toss and turn. Fall asleep in a daze. In the middle of the night. Suddenly feel someone in front of the bed.

Startled.

Quickly draw his gun.

Then someone presses him down.

Dripping with cold sweat,

"It's me, Zhuo Yungui!'

'Er...'

Zhang Yong is relieved.

Good, he really came. Things are looking up.

'Where is Li Yunyang?'

'She's with Huang Shang and Mr Wu.'

'Tell her to come out. We're going to Shengpingliang to get some work done.'

'Okay!'

'Tell her to come see me tomorrow morning.'

'Okay!'

Zhuo Yungui promised and left.

In the morning, Zhang Yong woke up and went downstairs to the lobby. Sure enough, he saw Li Yunyang.

She was still dressed very professionally. But she wasn't carrying a gun. The mission didn't require a short gun either. It was a long gun.

'What do you want with me?'

'To kill a Japanese soldier.'

'Where is he?'

'His name is Kumazo Takekawa. I had already captured him and locked him up in the dungeon. But recently, someone has been working behind the scenes to release him. I want to kill him.'

'Okay.'

Li Yunya didn't object.

As long as it was killing Japanese soldiers, she would do it without hesitation.
