'Team leader...'
'It seems like I'm on vacation.'
'Er...'
'Today is only the second day.'
'Er...'
Zhang Yong hung his head.
He thought to himself, it wasn't me who told you to come. It was the department head who did.
If you're unhappy, go confront the department head...
Of course, it was just resentment inside. He would never dare say it out loud.
If he had been forcibly called back while on vacation, he might have hit someone. Li Boqi was already being polite by just giving a deadpan face.
But really, you can't blame me for this!
Who knew that by kidnapping a few Japanese spies, they would actually get someone from the Tang family. And a treasure at that.
If anyone is to blame, it's the crazy Japanese.
How dare they kidnap someone from the Tang family...
'Team leader, there's a lot of weapons and ammunition. They're all Japanese.' He hurriedly changed the subject.
'Rotten guns,' Li Boqi still wore a deadpan expression.
'Do you want to move them back?'
'Why not? Leave them for the Japanese?'
'I see!'
Zhang Yong immediately ordered everyone to get to work and move all the weapons and ammunition inside.
These things will belong to the Songhu Office of the Restoration Society in the future. The head of the office won't care about them. As Li Boqi said, the quality is really not good.
No special agent would like these shoddy weapons nowadays. But they can be used for expansion in the future!
In the future, the head of the office will be involved in the Loyal Army for National Salvation...
He, Zhang Yong, will casually join in. Maybe he can even lead a company or two. From time to time, they can enter the city to kill a few Japanese invaders or something. They are still very useful.
As it turns out, you always need a lot of people. The era of lone heroes is over.
Unless you're as good as Yan Shuangying.
Otherwise...
The more people and weapons you have, the better.
'What a big Yin mansion, but unfortunately there's not much profit...' Zhang Yong said to himself again.
'Confiscated,' Li Boqi said, 'From now on, we'll station a work unit here.'
Zhang Yong: ...
Awesome. The leader is the leader.
Without saying a word, he directly turned the Yin mansion into an office.
Station a work group. That's right. It's about time we stationed a work group inside the concession. We don't have to keep going in and out of the concession when there's something going on.
If there's something going on inside the concession, all the work group has to do is pick up the phone and they're on their way.
That's pretty good. The boss has vision!
Suddenly, Li Boqi turns his head and looks at him. A slight moment of confusion.
Does he want me to station in the concession?
I'm willing...
The concession has good food and accommodation...
However, Li Boqi just gives him a glance. That's all.
Zhang Yong is stationed in the concession. A waste of talent. This guy can't be tied down for long.
He's a firefighter. A mobile unit. He goes wherever the fire is.
'Ring ring ring...'
'Ring ring ring...'
The phone suddenly rang again.
Zhang Yong frowned. Who's calling here again?
He picked up the receiver.
But he didn't hear the other person speak. But he could hear the other person breathing.
Hey, playing games, are you? What an asshole.
'Speak if you're human,' Zhang Yong said disdainfully, "if you don't even have the guts to speak, why bother calling?'
'I, Moriguchi Muta," the other party finally spoke.
'What is your advice?' Zhang Yong said lightly. As if he didn't even know the other party's existence.
'You, must pay with blood,' Moriguchi Muta was furious.
'Wait. Which incident are you talking about? Are you talking about Kumazo Takegawa, or something else? Is it the Zhenjiang brick factory?'
'I'm talking about all of them! You ruined everything!'
'Which one?'
'Takegawa Kumazo, Uranus, and Tang Shengbao!'
'Huh? You planned all of this? You're lying. You can't have pulled off all of this by yourself.'
'Hagya! Me, me, me...'
Moriguchi Muta was so angry that he could hardly speak. He was so angry. Really.
Not only had the other person ruined so many of his plans, but he had also despised him. He had looked down on him. He had doubted his abilities.
Hagah!
That son of a bitch! I'm not finished with him!
Aaaaaah...
I'm so angry. I want to explode right here.
'No. The person who attacked me earlier was clearly a woman...'
'Hagah! She's a waste from the Special Higher Class!'
'Moriguchi-kun, you're wrong to say that. If she hadn't helped you clean up your mess, you would probably be in an even worse situation right now.'
'Baka! I don't need you to lecture me! I'll show you, if you offend Moriguchi, you'll pay a hundred times, a thousand times the price! I want you dead! I want to cut you into a million pieces!'
'I'm scared. Mr Moriguchi. But can you bite me? Can you bite me?'
'Aaah, you son of a bitch, I, I...'
'Pang!'
And then the phone hung up.
From the sound, it sounded like Moriguchi Muta had slammed the phone down?
Alas, the Japanese spies are rich. They can casually slam the phone down. These days, phones are expensive. At least starting at 100 yuan.
This Moriguchi Muta is really something. He must have taken the wrong script for a fantasy novel.
He's exactly like the mentally retarded villains in fantasy novels. All he knows is to yell.
If you're so capable, come bite me, come on...
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a dozen military vehicles arrived outside. They were full of heavily armed soldiers.
Ah, needless to say, it was definitely Tang Shengbao's cousin who had arrived.
It should be the third brother...
Sure enough, the military vehicles pulled up to the curb. A handsome young man got out.
Well, this is Tang Shengbao's third brother, Tang Shengming.
'Your VIP is here,' said Li Boqi, whose deadpan face finally relaxed.
'What?' Zhang Yong didn't react.
Then he thought of the 300,000 reward. It can't be that he's going to give it to me now.
Wow. Although I really want it, can't we do it another way? It seems embarrassing to give it in front of everyone.
If I take it, it seems impolite. If I don't take it, I don't want to.
I'm in a dilemma...
Collecting myself, I followed Li Boqi to go and greet him.
The person who came was indeed Tang Shengbao's third brother, Tang Shengming. The legendary winner in life.
(Author's note: This book is a fictionalised account, so no real names are used.
)
The bigwigs on this side were his teachers, and the bigwigs on that side were also his teachers. Even when he later defected to the Wang clique, the bigwigs on that side were still his teachers. He was truly a man who knew how to get along with everyone.
While other people were teachers, their students went on to become famous, but he was a student who worshipped teachers who were all bigwigs.
Tang Shengming looked up and down at Zhang Yong, his eyes shining.
'You are Zhang Yong?'
'Yes. I am Zhang Yong.'
'Not bad. Young and promising.'
'Thank you!'
'This is for you!'
'What?'
Zhang Yong took them in both hands. He found that they were two land deeds.
Upon closer inspection, one was for Marsanna Road and the other for Avenue Joffre. So, it turned out to be two residential buildings!
It seems that a residential building in the concession was worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.
To be given two residential buildings as a reward was equivalent to 300,000 taels of silver?
Huh? This is a pretty good reward.
If it's money, I'd have to share it with everyone else. Otherwise, I'd be selfish. People would talk behind my back.
But if it's a house, I don't need to share it with anyone.
As for what I'll do with the deed, that's my business. If I want money, I'll sell it. If not, I'll keep it and live in it. Or let someone else live in it.
It's a bit of a joy. You're in the concession area, and you're considered to have a house. Two houses, even.
Huh? What about Gu Xiaoru? Give her one to live in.
Who's going to get the other one? It seems like there's still a beautiful woman owner missing...
'The people from the Public Works Bureau will be here soon.'
'What?'
'To handle the paperwork.'
Tang Shengming was concise and to the point.
Since it was a gift, of course the deed would also have to be changed to the new owner's name.
Sure enough, a few clerks arrived. The paperwork was done on the spot. The deed was changed to Zhang Yong's name. This is equivalent to the transfer of ownership in later generations.
At this time, Tang Shengbao cautiously appeared.
Sure enough, he was a bit afraid of his third brother.
'Third Brother...'
'I'll deal with you when we get back!'
'Brother Shao Long, save me!'
'Er...'
Zhang Yong was speechless.
You big dummy. Don't call out like that!
I'm not your brother. All your brothers are extraordinary...
'What's your name?'
'I have sworn brotherhood with Brother Siu-lung...'
'Huh?'
'Don't, don't, Master Tang, don't take it seriously...'
'Old Seven, is this true?'
'Of course it is. I took the initiative to ask to become sworn brothers.'
'You...'
Tang Shengming suddenly laughed.
Zhang Yong: ?
What are you laughing at? You look like you're up to no good.
Tang Shengming suddenly said cheerfully, 'Since you're the seventh brother's sworn brother, I'll also call you brother.'
'I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it,' Zhang Yong was shocked.
Mom, yeah, call Tang Shengming brother? This is too much of a climb. I can't do it, I can't do it.
It's better for me to quietly be a small person.
'Let's go, I'll be the host!'
'We'll book the Baiyun Restaurant!'
Tang Shengming waved his hand. What a generous man.
Zhang Yong turned to look at Li Boqi. Li Boqi nodded slightly.
Then there's no problem.
When someone invites you to dinner, you definitely can't say no.
