Chapter 247: No time to lose

The Mei Xiang Lou brothel was bustling with people.

It was even more lively than the last time he had been here. The madam was even more enthusiastic.

'Master Liu, this way please!'

'This way. Xiao Lian was just saying when Master Liu was coming!'

The madam was as smooth as silk.

Zhang Yong: ?

What Xiao Lian? Who is Xiao Lian?

Haha. But still, he rewards her with a silver dollar. Because he has his eye on Guo Dashan again.

It's funny. Last time I met Guo Dashan. This time I meet him again.

I thought there was a red dot inside Meixiang Building, maybe it's a new person. Unexpectedly, it's an old acquaintance again.

Anyway, this Guo Dashan doesn't have much oil left.

Even if you rack your brains to rip him off, you won't get much.

Of course, you still have to rack your brains.

What if there is oil inside the bones?

Even if he can't fry it, as long as it's someone he knows, he can squeeze it.

'Boss Guo,' Zhang Yong called from afar.

'Who?' Guo Dashan's body suddenly froze upon hearing this. Then it went numb.

Damn it!

He heard that terrifying voice again.

He thought that the other person might have been busy recently and would not be able to come to Mei Xiang Lou. So he came here secretly.

Unexpectedly, if he didn't come, this guy wouldn't come either. But as soon as he came, this guy followed suit.

Unlucky...

He subconsciously wanted to run.

But he didn't dare.

The other person had a gun in his hand. And he was accompanied by a large group of subordinates. How could he run?

He had no choice. He could only sheepishly turn back.

'Master Liu...' He barely managed to force a smile. It was even uglier than crying. He really wanted to jump off the second floor and die.

'Boss Guo, come and sit down,' Zhang Yong said with a smile, making a gesture to invite him.

Guo Dashan's body began to feel numb again.

It's over...

He was definitely called over for something bad.

He now even wished Liu Heizi was an agent of the Fuxing Society!

If he was caught by the Fuxing Society, so be it. At worst, he would be killed.

It's just as well to die. It's clean and tidy.

But being harassed like this by Liu Heizi, he can't even think about survival or death.

This guy is money-hungry. He demands money whenever they meet. If you don't pay, you'll get beaten up. This time, I don't know how much more he's going to extort from me. Life is tough.

'Come here!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand again.

Guo Dashan had no choice but to move over step by step.

Suddenly, he saw Zhang Yong take out a pistol and put it on the table. He hurriedly quickened his pace.

'Sit.'

'Master Liu, I'll just stand...'

'Sit down.'

Zhang Yong patted the pistol on the table.

Guo Dashan suddenly felt a sore on his buttocks. Needless to say, it was very uncomfortable. But he could only sit down at an angle.

When someone tells you to sit, they are giving you face. If you don't sit, you are not giving face to others.

Who knows what the consequences will be? A beating is the least of it.

'Boss Guo...'

'This is really all I have...'

Guo Dashan helplessly took out three silver notes. All of them were 100 silver dollars.

This is the limit of what he can raise.

Three hundred taels of silver is not that easy to borrow.

Zhang Yong took it. Hide it well. Then he nodded. 'This shows that Boss Guo has still made progress.'

'I...' Guo Dashan cursed the other party a hundred thousand times in his heart.

'The expedient measure I told you about last time...'

'What?'

'Oh? I didn't tell you?'

'I...'

'It's Kintaro Noguchi!'

'This...'

'If you tell me where Kintaro Nogaya is, I'll let you go.'

'I really don't know...'

'Boss Guo, this is your fault. I've already shown you the way, but you don't want to go, so I can only turn my back on you.'

'Don't...'

Guo Dashan gritted his teeth.

His face suddenly changed constantly. He wanted to say something but stopped.

Zhang Yong said coldly, 'Speak.'

'I...please ask Master Liu to dismiss everyone.' Guo Dashan cautiously surveyed the surroundings.

Zhang Yong then waved his hand.

Yang Zhi and the others quietly retreated to the outside of the room.

'You can speak,'

'Master Liu, I just received the news as well. A group of people from the Nanmen Agency have disembarked near Zhenjiang.'

'Zhenjiang?'

'Yes. They are the same group of people who hijacked Uranus.'

'How do you know?'

'Master Liu, I have my own sources. This piece of information is worth 3,000 taels of silver, I believe.'

'Hmph. That depends on whether it is accurate or not.'

'Master Liu, I dare not say anything else. This news is absolutely accurate.'

'Good. I believe you. If it really is that group, my debt to you will be written off. If not, an additional 3,000 taels of silver.'

'Then Master Liu must hurry and go make a fortune. If you're late, they'll be gone.'

'Good!'

Zhang Yong nodded. Let him leave.

He pondered inwardly. He never expected to get such news.

The Japanese spies from the Nan Agency had actually disembarked near Zhenjiang.

What about the British and American warships? Ignore them? Oh, I hope the pirates go ashore.

After the pirates go ashore, the hostages will be safe.

Some property may be lost. But it doesn't matter. As long as the people are saved, the loss of property is a loss.

'Yang Zhi!'

'Here!'

'Immediately call Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi and tell them to bring people to gather at the east gate.'

'Yes.'

Yang Zhi left.

Zhang Yong led the others back to Confucius Temple. They took the car. They were preparing to go to Zhenjiang.

If the Japanese spies from Nan Jiao Ji were in Zhenjiang, they would be caught in one fell swoop. It wasn't very far from Jinling to Zhenjiang. It was over 100 li. A night attack would solve everything.

What? Nighttime is not suitable for fighting?

That was in the past.

Now, he was very suitable for nighttime fighting.

Why? Because the map had been upgraded. It could show everyone. It didn't need light.

No one can see you in the dark. But you can see your enemies perfectly in the dark. Then you can sneak up on them silently and kill them with one blow.

Worried about the inaccuracy of pistols?

No problem, there are grenades.

Locate the Japanese spy and serve him a direct grenade.

'Creak!'

Suddenly there was a sharp brake.

Zhang Yong hurriedly looked up. He saw a figure.

It was the female spy who had escaped. She looked a lot like Li Jingzhi.

She was wondering what to do. She suddenly crossed the road in front of Zhang Yong's convoy. It was a close call.

Fortunately, the driver Yang Zhi reacted quickly. He braked hard.

'You want to die!' Zhang Yong opened the door and got out of the car, shouting at the other person, 'It's not safe outside, and you're still running around!'

'Don't think that if you die, it's fine. You'll also get your family and friends into trouble!' Zhang Yong pointed a gun directly at the other person and said, "Believe it or not, I'll arrest you and take you back to the Fuxing Society to be tortured! Get out of here!'

The woman glanced at him sideways. She bit her lip in anger. She ducked into an alley.

Only then did Zhang Yong get back into the car.

He cursed and swore, "Damn, you really don't care about your life!'

'Women!' Yang Zhi naturally didn't understand what Zhang Yong was cursing about, so he casually added, "I don't know what's going on in that woman's head.'

'Go!" Zhang Yong said impatiently, "Hurry to Zhenjiang. Arrest the spy.'

'Understood!" Yang Zhi concentrated on driving.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the East Gate. They stopped and waited.

Ten minutes later, another convoy arrived. It was Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi.

But there was another convoy behind them.

'Who is it?'

'Dai Yize. The director ordered it.'

'You reported to the director?'

'The director is here.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong's heart sank.

What was the director doing in the new office area? Chatting with Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi?

Hehe, most likely he was bonding with them.

The Fuxing Society was the director's Fuxing Society. The director was the biggest. The director didn't want to be sidelined.

To put it more clearly, he, Zhang Yong, has fifty people under him, and in their eyes, there is only the Director. The Director is the biggest. The Director's will is everything.

If he, Zhang Yong, wants to take over and set up his own gang, it is simply impossible.

They reported back to the Director.

Therefore, they can only be used for official business. Not for personal matters.

Soon, the convoy behind them arrived. It was Dai Yice after all. He had brought the entire operation team with him.

'Team Leader Dai!'

'Captain Zhang, the department head has asked me to assist you. I'll do whatever you say.'

'Captain Dai, you're too kind. Let's work together to catch the Japanese spy. That will be a weight off our minds.'

'Let's go, then! We don't have much time!'

'Let's go!'

Zhang Yong waves his hand.

Get in the car. They quickly head towards Zhenjiang.

The distance from Nanjing to Zhenjiang is not very far. It takes three hours to drive there.

The main problem was that the roads were all dirt tracks. It was not easy to drive on them. It was also nighttime. If it were the highway of the future, it would take just a few tens of minutes to get there. That would be fast.

The convoy entered Zhenjiang quietly.

Zhang Yong began to carefully search for the Japanese spies. But he found none.

It was estimated that the Japanese spies would not dare enter the city. There was also a curfew at night in Zhenjiang. There were a large number of Japanese spies, and it was likely that they were living on the outskirts of the city.

So they quietly searched along the outskirts of the city. Sure enough, they found something.

One red dot after another appeared.

Without a doubt, these were the Uranus spies who had landed here.

Finally, these ruthless guys were caught.

However, the situation here was also very complicated. It turned out to be a red brick factory.

At that time, the brick-making technology people had was to first shape the mud bricks and then burn them in a kiln. Usually, they were burnt to make red bricks. However, they could also continue to burn and produce mud oil to make green bricks.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that there are walls of red bricks stacked everywhere in the red brick factory. They crisscross in all directions. It's very complicated.

If you look down from a high altitude, it's basically a big maze.

It's not easy to catch someone.

It's not even easy to shoot and kill the target.

Even after dawn, the Japanese spy can still use the large number of brick walls for cover.

No wonder the Japanese spy would hide here. It's not like they're afraid of being exposed.

'It's not good to close the net,' Dai Yice frowned.

Terrain like this is troublesome.

Even if there are more people, there is no advantage.

If we storm the place, we will pay a high price. It's not worth it.

'Yes,' Zhang Yong nodded in agreement.

He was thinking about other things.

The Japanese spies must be killed. But we also need to get something for ourselves.

Those Japanese spies have taken Uranus hostage, and there are so many foreign guests on the Uranus cruise ship. There may be US dollars, British pounds, and so on.

If the spies took all their money and then disembarked here...

Oh, I immediately felt hopeful.

But no rush, just wait a bit.

Wait until dawn before starting work.

However...

At this moment, a red dot began to move.

He didn't know what was wrong, but he hurriedly sprinted outside the brick factory.

Coincidentally, he was right in front of Zhang Yong.
