Everyone wants to regain their freedom.
Especially someone like Junshiro Aoki.
Of course, Tian Yuman didn't want to spend her days in a prison cell either.
The problem was...
Happiness came so suddenly, they couldn't believe it.
This pie was too big. They had to digest it properly. So, neither of them spoke.
Zhang Yong didn't rush them either.
He saw Yang Lichu quietly waving at him.
So he followed her and walked out.
The two of them walked to a corner like they were having an affair. It was very mysterious.
Zhang Yong looked around, afraid that he was being set up.
This woman was not someone to be trifled with.
He always felt that beneath her calm appearance, there might be some kind of deadly trap waiting for him to fall into.
So, it was better to keep her at a distance.
'What are you nervous about? I'm not going to eat you!'
'Just tell me what's up.'
'Okay. I'm just asking if you want to learn to fly a plane.'
'What?'
Zhang Yong was stunned on the spot.
He thought he had heard wrong. Later, he realised that he hadn't.
Yang Lichu had really said fly a plane.
'Who?' He asked stupidly.
'Of course it's you,' Yang Lichu replied, 'no one else has the same privileges as you.'
'What privileges?'
'We recruit pilots very strictly. One in a hundred.'
'Then why teach me to fly?'
'Because we want you to understand the Air Force and like it! Don't you like it?'
'No, no, I like it, I like it!'
Zhang Yong replied hastily.
Just joking. Who doesn't like flying?
He likes driving. How about flying?
Which normal man doesn't want to fly? Who doesn't want to soar in the sky?
It's just that he hasn't had the chance.
Now that the chance has come, he must seize it.
'If you have time, you can arrange for training.'
'What kind of training?'
'Basic training, of course! From lung capacity to anti-vertigo training and so on.'
'Isn't it flying a plane?'
'Then you have to meet the basic requirements at least! If your physical fitness is poor, you will easily get dizzy and have an accident when you fly.'
'This...'
Zhang Yong's joy immediately subsided.
Crap. It would be strange if he could pass the training of the Air Force. You can cheat on lung capacity. But you definitely can't cheat on anti-vertigo.
Aircraft in this era, although not as exaggerated as the jet fighters of later generations, still have a G-force of five or six. Most people basically get stuck at this step.
If they can't withstand a G-force of six, they will get dizzy. It can even be fatal.
'Do you want to try?'
'Of course!'
Zhang Yong said hurriedly.
If it were anything else, he would definitely give up.
But learning to fly a plane is a must.
At most, he will find a way to get by later. After all, once you're in the sky, you shouldn't expect to be able to fight.
But if you can fly a plane, you can run away really fast in the future!
It would also be very convenient to transport a little wealth and goods by plane in the rear area.
Heh heh...
'I'll help you arrange it then!'
'Thanks!'
'If you pass out, don't blame me.'
'No, no,'
Zhang Yong answered affirmatively.
If I really pass out, it's because I'm a chicken. It has nothing to do with you.
But from now on, I really need to train my body. At least, I need to be able to climb into the cockpit without help.
Back in the office.
Aoki and Tan Yueman are finally coming round.
Good, now we can talk.
'What are your terms?' Tan Yueman gets straight to the point.
'I want Yang Junjian back. Dead or alive,' Zhang Yong replies frankly. 'The authorities want to see someone alive, but they also want a corpse,'
The main thing is sincerity.
I'm not lying to you. It's just like that. We have a common goal. We'll work together to achieve it.
'I don't know if they'll agree to release the person...' Tian Yuman is still very worried.
'Yang Junjian is worthless,' Zhang Yong says bluntly. 'What can he do now? Fly your plane? Would you dare hand it over to him?'
Aoki Junshiro is speechless.
So is Tian Yuman.
Of course that was impossible. Who would hand over their plane to a traitor?
So...
there was indeed a good chance of success.
'Think for yourselves, who do I need to communicate with to make this happen,' Zhang Yong said, "who values you the most and is willing to trade...'
'I have an uncle called Takatoshi Akagi..." Junshiro Aoki finally revealed his identity.
'What does he do?'
'He is the assistant to the police commissioner of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.'
'Oh?'
Zhang Yong remembered.
He had heard Zhu Yuan mention this name before.
It was said that after this guy arrived, the constabulary had no good times.
In the past, the constabulary could fish while working.
There was also a lot of extra money. They were all rich.
As a result, once Akagi Takasumi arrived, all these benefits disappeared. That guy was miserable.
Still thinking about how to deal with Akagi Takasumi. Unexpectedly, an opportunity came knocking. Very good. I like this arrangement.
If Aoki Takashiro wants Junshiro Aoki to live, he will definitely have to pay a price.
For example, allowing him to freely come and go from the concession.
If he doesn't agree, Junshiro Aoki's life may be in a bit of trouble.
'Can you contact him?'
'I...'
'Can you call him?'
'I don't know his phone number. He won't believe it if I call.'
'Okay. Let's go to the concession.'
'Now?'
'Of course.'
Zhang Yong stood up.
There was no time to lose. They would set off for the concession immediately.
Bringing Yang Junjian back was a very important task. It must be completed as soon as possible.
Of course, before setting off, they still had to report to the Director.
'You will leave the day after tomorrow.'
'Yes.
Zhang Yong agreed. He didn't ask why.
Just obey the Director.
Putting down the phone, 'The day after tomorrow, we will set off for the concession.'
Aoki Jun and Tian Yuman looked at each other again. Both of them looked happy. They finally believed that things had a chance of turning around.
It seemed that Zhang Yong had kept his word after all.
As long as they reached the concession and got in touch with Takasugi, their chances of being rescued would be very high.
Zhang Yong arranged for someone to take the two of them away.
Yang Li first wanted to speak but then stopped.
'Just say it.'
'Are you really going to release the two of them?'
'First, we need to catch Yang Junjian.'
'But they are involved in the Cangyue Project...'
'Let's just get Yang Junjian back first,'
Zhang Yong repeated emphatically.
You can't catch all the Japanese spies. There will be more after you catch them.
At this moment, there are almost 170 million Japanese invaders, including those on Taiwan and the Korean Peninsula.
In terms of human resources alone, there are more Japanese invaders than Germans. There are only 80 million Germans. Even if you mobilise the troops to the limit, you can only muster an army of about 12 million.
With so many Japanese people, there is no shortage of Japanese spies.
Among the Japanese invaders, there are also many people who are proficient in Chinese. There is also the East Three Provinces Development Corps.
Therefore, he will not lose his job before 15 August 1945.
In Cantonese, it means that the longer you work, the more you get.
'Report, Tian Yuman says there is something to report.' Yang Zhi suddenly arrived.
'Her? Let her come in!' Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Soon, Tian Yuman returned.
She looked at Yang Lichu, hesitant to speak. She obviously had reservations about her.
'Director Yang is not a stranger. Go ahead!'
'I know where Gloria is.'
'Where?'
Zhang Yong was very calm.
In fact, he was very concerned about the answer.
However, slowly, he also learned to hide his emotions a little.
Haste makes waste.
If he acted very anxious, Tian Yuman might just toy with him.
The best approach is to be neither too cold nor too warm, neither too salty nor too bland.
'I don't know the details. But I know Safiya definitely knows.'
'Who is Safiya?'
'A white Russian noblewoman. She works at the Jinling Royal Nightclub.'
'Oh?'
Zhang Yong marveled inwardly.
There's a Royal Nightclub in Jinling? How come I've never heard of it?
He looked sideways at Yang Lichu.
Yang Lichu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
So he looked at Tian Yuman.
'Outsiders don't know. You need an introduction to get in.'
'So you're one of them?'
'I make money.'
'So how do I find Safiya?'
'There's a café at 501 Wuhou Street. Go there, leave $100 at the front desk. Say you want information, and leave your contact details. She'll naturally send someone to find you.'
'One hundred dollars?'
'Yes.
'She doesn't come in person?'
'No.'
'Is she that high-end?'
'She doesn't work in our line of business. She's in intelligence.'
'In intelligence?'
'That means trading information. You have secret information that you can sell to her. You can also buy the information you want from her.'
'So she's an intelligence dealer...'
Zhang Yong understood. It turns out to be the female version of Xie Ruolin.
Anyway, trading information is a very risky act. It's even more dangerous than trading arms.
Because some information is not allowed to be leaked.
Since they can't catch the person who leaked the information, they kill the person who traded it first.
So, daring to trade information means she is definitely not a good person.
The so-called Royal Nightclub is unknown to outsiders, which shows that the secrecy work is done extremely well. Even Yang Lichu didn't know about it.
'501 Wuhou Street, a coffee shop?'
'Yes.'
'One hundred dollars?'
'Yes!'
'I remember!'
Zhang Yong nodded. Tell Tian Yuman to leave.
Damn. The deposit is 100 US dollars. What a huge sum. Crazy.
Is Gloria's information worth 100 US dollars?
It seems to be worth it. After getting rid of Gloria, Gao Yuanhang will have no weak points.
Otherwise, once this Gloria is controlled by the Japanese, it will definitely have a great impact on Gao Yuanhang.
After all, they were husband and wife, with deep feelings, and they also have two children...
'Call Gao Ping, we're ready to go.'
'Where to?'
'501 Wuhou Street, the café!'
'So many people going together?'
'Why don't you go by yourself?'
'You...'
Yang Lichu immediately shut up.
She felt Zhang Yong was a bit impatient now. He just wanted to complete the task quickly.
In fact, Zhang Yong himself might not be aware that he was in a hurry. He was now burdened with a bunch of tasks, none of which had been completed.
It would certainly be good if he could quickly settle things with the Air Ministry.
Zhang Ping arrived soon after.
He didn't bring the guard company with him.
He just went to the scene to witness the event.
He set off quickly.
He arrived at 501 Wuhou Street. Sure enough, there was a Liufu Pavilion café here.
He looked around. There was nothing unusual. So he entered.
