Chapter 365: I'm not Ning Caichen

Gu Xiaoru won another hand.

Gu Xiaoru won another hand...

And another...

Zhang Yong didn't count how much she had won.

His attention wasn't on her.

Because he saw a group of bigwigs walking over.

Xuan Tiewu...

Xu Enzeng, Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun...

Everyone seems to be having a good time tonight. No one has mentioned business. They're just hanging out.

Really. You're all big shots!

Have you forgotten the New Life Movement advocated by the President?

The New Life Movement strictly prohibits gambling!

The New Life Movement advocates men and women embracing and holding hands, and dancing close together. But not gambling.

Pat Gu Xiaoru's bottom.

Gu Xiaoru immediately disappeared with tact. She whispered the room number to him and said she would wait in the room.

Zhang Yong then hid behind the crowd.

Once again, he was back to the way he was when he was at school. He hoped the teacher would never see him.

However...

An outstanding man like him, no matter where he hides, he is as distinctive and outstanding as a firefly in the dark...

'Shaolong!'

'Shaolong!'

I don't know who was calling.

He pretended not to hear.

Later, he realised that it was Li Boqi who had called him.

What a dead face!

He betrayed himself again!

You were the escort, what did you want me to do?

He looked up. Huh? Have the big shots left?

Oh, they've gone to the VIP room.

He felt a sudden sense of relief.

Big shots are big shots, how could they be mobbed by you?

What if some reporter, not knowing any better, took some random photos and published them? Wouldn't that cause trouble? Going to the VIP room is much safer.

Any reporter who tries to break into the VIP room will have their legs broken. And then they'll be thrown onto the street.

He hurriedly jogged over to Li Boqi's side.

'Team leader,'

'You go back. Nothing will happen tonight.'

'I still have a task.'

'What task?'

'A mission worth 50,000 taels...'

Zhang Yong briefly reported to Li Boqi about the matter of Nagaban Takako.

He had pocketed half of the 100,000 taels. But he couldn't pocket it all.

After all, he had let a Japanese spy go.

'You decide.'

'Yes.'

'You can handle these unimportant Japanese spies on your own. You don't need to consult headquarters about everything. Headquarters doesn't know the situation either. Don't cause trouble for headquarters.'

'Understood.'

Zhang Yong understood perfectly.

Li Boqi meant that the office had retained the 50,000 silver dollars.

Everyone would get a share. It was considered a benefit of the office.

There was no need to report to headquarters.

After all, there were so many Japanese spies, headquarters could not possibly pay attention to each one.

In case headquarters asked, one should think of an excuse to get past it. Anything like 'fishing for the big fish in the long run' would be a good excuse.

After all, the people below were the ones who carried out the operations.

Li Boqi went into the VIP room. The door closed. The people outside were free.

Cao Mengqi came up to Zhang Yong's side. He had been feeling uncomfortable just now. So uncomfortable that he hadn't finished eating. He wanted to go out for a late-night snack.

'I'm full. I'm not going,'

Zhang Yong shook his head.

He still had to hand over the long tray to Guizi.

And then there was the little beauty waiting for him in a certain room...

It was hard to resist a beauty's charms. He couldn't let the little beauty down...

Suddenly he saw Jin Lin.

He said deliberately, 'Why don't you two go...'

As a result, Jin Lin immediately ran away.

Cao Mengqi also went with his own team. He didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Zhang Yong: ...

Haha. These two enemies.

Suddenly, he saw Ding Mo'cun and Li Shiqun quietly leaving.

His mind twitched.

These two guys, they're already cooperating so quickly?

That doesn't seem good.

It's not good for the Red Party.

Frankly speaking, the abilities of these two guys are quite strong.

Especially Li Shiqun, who is now silent, but once he defected to the Japanese, his personal abilities immediately stood out. He became the most terrifying presence in No. 76.

In terms of personal ability alone, Li Shiqun is even stronger than Ding Muchun. Many anti-Japanese elements fell into his hands.

Among them were many key members of the military. Even Wang Tianmu was captured by him. This shows how terrifying this person is.

A sudden thought came to mind.

Should I pick up the submachine gun and give them both a volley?

Maybe it could change history.

But then he shook his head again. What could he change? He was just a nobody.

Without Ding Mucun, there would be Li Mucun or Zhang Mucun. Without Li Shiqun, there would be Zhao Shiqun or Sun Shiqun. No. 76 would never lack for people.

Defeating the Japanese invaders was fundamental.

Or rather, waiting until the Japanese invaders surrendered was fundamental.

The trajectory of history would never change. Especially not something like a world war.

He just needed to wait for victory.

And before the victory, he could make a little personal capital.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him.

Yan Ruzi had appeared again. She came without a trace, so mysterious.

'What is it?'

'I have some very important news for you.'

'I don't have any money.'

'It's free. A gift.'

'Tell me.'

'A very important member of the Red Party has arrived in Shanghai. His code name is Squid.'

'How do you know?'

'There is a traitor in the Red Party. Otherwise, why would Xu Enzeng be here?'

'Tell me what for?'

'Nothing. Just sharing. Sort of an apology. I have something to do tonight. I can't keep you company. You already have someone to keep you company.'

'Whatever.'

Zhang Yong didn't say anything.

In fact, he didn't dare sleep with this woman.

Unless her hands and feet were tied up. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't know how he died.

Women like her, who were used to the underworld, had 98,000 ways to deal with men.

He wasn't tired of living yet. He didn't want to die yet.

'Let's go,'

Yan Ruzi said with a smile. She disappeared.

Zhang Yong didn't say goodbye either. He didn't want to. Wait a minute, she'll definitely show up again.

She's here to pick up Nagahama Takako.

Squid?

An important figure in the Red Party?

A traitor?

Alas, these are troubled times.

The Red Party has really had a hard time these past two or three years. It can be said to be at its lowest ebb.

It's a long march, and the future generations say it's so great. In fact, from a certain point of view, it was also a forced transfer. Even if victory reached northern Shaanxi, it was still very difficult.

What task did the squid come to Shanghai for?

Xu Enzeng is not an easy person to deal with...

Shake his head.

Get rid of the distractions in his mind.

His abilities are limited. He can't help much for the time being. I hope Shi Bingdao and the others can adapt to the situation and keep a low profile as much as possible.

The map shows that the red dot has started to move.

It turns out to be the assistant summoned by Nogaya Kintaro, who finally decided to leave.

He actually negotiated with Nogaya Kintaro for such a long time.

It seems that Li Boqi's judgment was not wrong, wanting to exchange Yang Junjian back. It's a bit tricky.

It depends on how Nogaya Kintaro operates.

He must definitely make the utmost effort for himself. Otherwise, his way out will be cut off.

Soon, Zhong Yang arrived with Nagaban Takako.

Zhang Yong looked at her a few times. She really is a beautiful woman. Young. Pretty. Unfortunately, she's in the wrong line of work.

Fortunately, she's fallen into his hands. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have...

Release the prisoner.

Hand her over to Yan Ruzi.

Yan Ruzi hands him another 50,000 silver banknotes.

The deal is done.

Yan Ruzi takes the prisoner away.

Nagaban Takako is still in a daze.

She may be acting.

Or she may really be confused.

Yan Ruzi gets into the car with Nagaban Takako. They are ready to leave.

She has just driven out of the hotel entrance and merged onto the main road outside when suddenly...

A black Steppenwolf car comes at Yan Ruzi head-on.

Zhang Yong: ?

What's going on?

Steppenwolf?

A crash?

Holy cow! Who's so daring?

Using a Steppenwolf as a crash vehicle?

Trying to assassinate Yan Ruzi?

Holy cow!

Who's so extravagant? Using a luxury car as a murder weapon!

Damn it. If you don't want it, give it to me! I want it!

"Boom!'

'Clatter...'

A violent collision. The car rolls over.

Yan Ruzi's car is almost crushed on the spot. Parts are flying.

The Stipunk came so hard that she was not prepared at all. She believed that Zhang Yong would not assassinate her. So, she did not pay extra attention.

'Go!'

'Go!'

Zhang Yong hurriedly led the men to charge up.

Damn it! Don't do anything in front of me! If someone else thinks I arranged this,

I'll be damned. Taking the money and causing a car accident. It's the standard operation in a melodramatic TV show.

He's the first person anyone would suspect.

The money was taken.

The people are dead.

It's perfect.

However, he swears to God that he really didn't arrange it.

He has always been someone who values money over life! Since he took someone else's money, he can't possibly want someone else's life. Not to mention two women?

Besides...

would he dare to use Steppenwolf to crash?

Shit! Shit! Shit!

He rushed up in a hurry. He was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He was also a little confused.

The driver of the accident was also a woman.

Due to the severe impact, this female driver seemed to have also been injured, with her hair in disarray.

'Get out of the car!'

'Get out of the car!'

Zhang Yong shouted angrily, raising his gun.

Where did this come from? Causing a car accident here!

The female driver slowly tilted her head. Revealing a pretty, oval face. Oh, so she is a beauty after all.

Zhang Yong was about to lower the muzzle of his gun. Then he noticed the other person's shoulders moving.

Huh? What's she up to? A chill ran down his spine.

'Don't move!'

'Don't move!'

Zhang Yong yelled sternly.

He remembered many tragic stories of police officers in Merry Country.

Don't move!

Don't move!

However, the female driver didn't listen to him.

She was still moving.

She was ignoring his words.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

Zhang Yong fired.

He told the other person to freeze. The other person was still moving.

That was looking for death.

He would not give the other person the opportunity to attack him.

On the side of Merry Country, there were too many bloody lessons. He would rather kill the wrong person than allow himself to die.

What if the other person has a gun?

First empty the magazine. The other person dared to cause a car accident, and they were definitely not ordinary people.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

He emptied his entire clip into the female driver.

The woman immediately collapsed in a pool of blood. There were bullet holes all around her neck and shoulders. She would never move again.

Zhang Yong was only two or three metres away, so of course he didn't miss. Every bullet was lethal.

But none of them hit her head.

He wanted to keep her head intact so that he could identify her. He would have to take a photo of her later for the records. So that he could track her down.

The others rushed up.

Wei Yong kicked open the driver's door. He found a pistol lying on the woman's lap.

Zhang Yong: !!!

Damn! I knew the other person was up to no good! Luckily I fired first!

The other person actually had a gun!

If she had a chance to shoot, it would have been him.

Damn!

That was too dangerous!

Who the hell is she? Why did she bring a gun?

What deep hatred does she have for Yan Ruzi?

So complicated...

I'm on Yan Ruzi's side.

Well, both women are unconscious.

Ugh, really...

I've got a pretty girl waiting for me!

It's over.

Tonight's good things have been messed up again.

I'm very angry right now!

I really want to kill someone.

'What happened?' Cao Mengqi and the others rushed up as well.

'Someone deliberately caused the car accident,' Zhang Yong answered simply. 'I'll take the person to the hospital first. You help me say hello to the team leader.'

'Okay, go ahead. I'll take care of the rest.'

'Go!'

Zhang Yong led the way, taking the two unconscious women to the hospital.

Ambulances in this era were so slow. They were nowhere near as fast as driving yourself.

The nearest hospital was actually in the concession. Unfortunately, it was troublesome to enter and exit the concession. They could only take her to the slightly farther Boya Hospital.

Once they arrived at Boya Hospital, there was a flurry of activity.

There was no time to call Gu Xiaoru, so he would have to reassure her tonight. Gu Xiaoru hung up the phone in a dejected mood.

Sigh...

What a mess.

What did Yan Ruzi have against her? It was such a big deal.

Such a violent collision. It was completely life-threatening.

And...

Anyone who could afford a Steppenwolf was definitely no ordinary person!

And...

Where the hell was Squid?

Rambling.

The night passed in this way.

It was not until the next morning that Yan Ruzi slowly woke up.

Fortunately, she did not suffer from any memory loss. She still had a relatively clear memory of what had happened last night.

'Who tried to do you harm?'

'Xia Wanjun.'

'Her?'

Zhang Yong was deeply surprised.

It was her? He knew this Xia Wanjun.

She was the one who took her empty suitcase. She was considered to be a member of Mengde Club. God knows what her background is.

Shanghai is a foreign city, and it's really very complicated. Even a genuine old Shanghai native can't possibly know the secrets of all the gangs. Not to mention him.

'Why did you make enemies with her?'

'...'

Yan Ruzi remained silent.

Zhang Yong: ...

Okay. I won't ask.

Since you've woken up. Then it's fine.

We're even from now on.

Go see Nagaban Takako.

The neighbour, Nagaban Takako, actually woke up last night. But she was like a wooden person, not saying a word. And she looked like a quail.

Zhang Yong came up to her, 'Miss Takako, you are released...'

But she didn't react at all.

What a wooden beauty. She actually came to be an agent?

Funny...

Are there no more Japanese invaders?

'You are now a free person. I will take you back to Hongkou...'

'No, no, no, I can't go back, I can't go back...'

Suddenly, Nagata Takako screamed in terror.

She looked like a girl watching a horror movie.

Zhang Yong: ...

Oh, no. I'm at a loss for words.

Someone is willing to pay 100,000 silver dollars to ransom you back. And you don't want to?

Damn it. Do you like being locked up in a cell?

Do you have self-abuse disorder?

However, the cells of our Fuxing Society Secret Service are not for idle people. We don't want people of no value. We only want people who are useful...

'I said, I'll take you back to Hongkou. Back to the Japanese concession...'

Zhang Yong repeated emphatically.

He thought the other person had been knocked silly. He couldn't tell the situation apart.

However...

'No, no, you mustn't abandon me! I'll work like a bull and a horse to repay you!'

'I, I, you can call me whatever you like!'

'I beg you, don't send me back. Never, never, never...'

Nagayama Takako actually knelt on the ground and hugged his legs.

Zhang Yong was stunned.

The others around him were also stunned.

Obviously, like Zhang Yong, they had never expected such a scene.

A Japanese spy, ransomed back. It was actually a hundred times more tragic than when they were captured?

Sweat...

I can't think of it!

It feels like there is definitely a story in this Japanese spy!

What should I do? What else can I do?

I can only take him back to the office first. Continue to be locked up in the cell.

Come to Yan Ruizi's ward.

'There's something weird. Nagahara Takako doesn't want to go back.'

'Are you kidding me?'

'She's terrified. She begged me with tears in her eyes and offered to do anything.'

'No way...'

'Come back to the office with me! You can talk to her there.'

'If you're lying to me...'

'Don't you have any common sense? How could I lie to you?'

'I...'

Yan Ruzi was at a loss for words.

She couldn't say, 'You're lying to me.'

However, she didn't want to admit that she had been deceived. So she shut up.

'I'm leaving.'

'You two have a nice chat!'

Zhang Yong returned to the Peace Hotel and went up to Gu Xiaoru's room. He found her still there.

Suddenly, the firewood and the firewood...

After a lot of tossing and turning, the day passed.

Gu Xiaoru was then contentedly busy with her own affairs. Busy with what? Not sure. Zhang Yong didn't ask.

She wanted money, so she was given it.

She wanted help, so she was helped.

He didn't ask about anything else unless she was willing to tell him.

When Zhang Yong arrived in front of Kintaro Nogata, the old spy looked at him with a strange expression.

Zhang Yong didn't hide it, 'I'm young and full of energy, which is normal, right?'

'Yes, young people...' Surprisingly, this sentence actually triggered some memories in Kintaro Nogata.

'How's the contact going?' Zhang Yong pulled the phone back.

'I'm afraid it's not that easy...' Kintaro Nogata responded slowly. with a frown.

'Just so you know, you'll have to pay for the hotel yourself,' Zhang Yong reminded him immediately, "if you run out of money, you'll have to go back to the cell.'

'You're a real vampire," said Nogaya Kintaro angrily, 'you're despicable.'

'Did I say something wrong? If you want to live comfortably, you'll have to find the money yourself. Or ask your brothers to pay for it. Don't you still have three brothers out there?'

'I was just about to tell you that I want to release my second younger brother to help me.'

'No problem. 300,000 taels of silver.'

'You might as well go robbing.'

'I'll pay you back whatever you ask for. You can't expect to get something for nothing.'

'Are you really able to release Kijirō?'

'I can't guarantee it 100%. After all, he is being held in Jinling. But I can say that the chances are good. If I can't release him, I'll give you back the 300,000 taels of silver, exactly as you see it.'

'You really are a good businessman.'

'The conditions have been set. Whether you can accept them or not, you can decide for yourselves.'

'Deal!'

Nogaya Kintaro responded briskly.

Zhang Yong: Huh?

Huh? He answered so quickly?

Does the Kuaiji organ have a lot of money?

This is rash...

This Kuaiji organ specializes in tomb raiding and selling national treasures!

Other Japanese spy agencies don't make as much money as the Kuaiji organ. Because the cost of making money for the Kuaiji organ is really very low.

At this moment in the world, national treasures from China are also very popular with Europeans and Americans.

You see those dragon heads and ox heads in the Old Summer Palace, which are actually just drainpipes. They are also being crazily sought after by Europeans and Americans. How can we get the real national treasures?

"But we need to wait for the right moment.'

'What moment?'

'I will naturally tell you when the time is right.'

'Okay.'

Zhang Yong had no objections.

After all, he would get the money and the goods at the same time.

Without getting the money, Noguchi Kijirō is not likely to be released.

This is called not letting the eagle go until you see the hare.

There is nothing to do.

Back at Boya Hospital, Yan Ruzi is coming out of Nagaban Takako's room.

I have to say, this woman's body is just strong. She was hit so hard last night, but now she can get out of bed and walk around.

'Finished chatting?'

'Finished.'

'What's the result?'

'She doesn't want to go back. I can't hand it in.'

'She doesn't want to go back. What's it got to do with you?'

'Do you think my benefactor will believe that?'

'That's your business.'

Zhang Yong didn't care about her. The better for her to be in trouble.

Only if she was in trouble would he stand a chance. He was good at taking advantage of people in their time of need.

'Hmph!'

Yan Ruzi gritted her teeth and left.

Zhang Yong returned to the office. Back to his own office. He had just sat down when the phone rang.

Suspicious.

Whose phone call? So timely?

I haven't even sat down yet, and the phone call demanding my life has already arrived.

It definitely wasn't Li Boqi.

He had just passed Li Boqi's office and noticed that the team leader seemed to have goneoffthe job again.

Hey, leaders are good. They can do whatever they want.

He picked up the phone.

'Shaolong!' The voice on the other end of the line was Yang Shanfu.

'Director Yang,' Zhang Yong wondered.

This Director Yang seems to be very bored lately!

He's calling people to chat.

He's fleecing the public.

Doesn't the public phone cost money?

I worked hard to scrounge up the money, but you're wasting it...

Save some!

I've fleeced the Japanese of all their wool.

Now I'm fleecing the Koreans.

'Shao Long, are you free?' Yang Shanfu said, 'I have some gossip for you.'

'Sure!' Zhang Yong was free. He didn't want to work either.

It was a good time to chat and kill time.

After all, Li Boqi had gone off to play. He was following suit.

'Jinling is haunted...'

'You already told me that last time.'

'I'm talking about the latest version.'

'What?'

'It's getting more and more exaggerated. They say it's a red-clad female ghost who claims lives in the middle of the night, and that anyone who sees her will die without exception.'

'Nonsense.'

Zhang Yongcai didn't believe it.

What red-clad female ghost? Here, take a bullet!

Or a grenade.

If he comes out unscathed, he'll believe it.

'Really.'

'Director Yang, the military police headquarters isn't made of stupid people.'

'That's the problem. There were so many military policemen, and they didn't catch the other side. They didn't even get the chance to meet them. All they saw were dead people.'

'Then who saw the female ghost wearing red?'

'This...'

Yang Shanfu was at a loss for words.

Zhang Yong: ...

Oops. It seems like I've run out of things to say.

Sure enough, Yang Shanfu said sullenly, 'Shaolong, you really are a boring person.'

'My mistake. Go on,' Zhang Yong immediately corrected.

'The Military Police Command took a long time to find someone. The Chairman somehow found out and gave Commander Valley a dressing down.'

'And then what happened?'

'Then the task was handed over to our secret service agency, the Fuxing Society.'

'Who is in charge now?'

'Section Chief Zhou.'

'No problem! The intelligence department is on the case, so what's the problem?'

'The chairman is angry. He has given three days to solve the case. Section Chief Zhou is very anxious. The head of the agency is also a bit anxious now. The entire headquarters is now in chaos because of this red-clad female ghost.'

'I feel like I'm listening to a joke...'

'You think it's a joke, do you? If you're called back urgently...'

'Sorry, it's not a joke. I trust Section Chief Zhou's abilities. The red-clad female ghost is not a Japanese spy. It's useless to come to me.'

'But someone recommended you to the Commissioner.'

'What?'

Zhang Yong immediately realised that the situation was serious.

Yang Shanfang was actually tactfully telling him that someone was shooting arrows in his back.

Recommending yourself to the chairman seems like a good thing. In fact, it's a backstabbing. It's deliberately digging a pit for yourself. If you can solve the case, you will be recommended for your meritorious service. If you can't solve the case, the chairman will feel that you are incompetent.

Shit!

Who is so sinister after all?

Creating a red-clad female ghost to trap yourself? I'm really not interested in the red-clad female ghost!

I'm not Ning Caichen...

'Understood?'

'Understood. Thank you!'

'Hang up.'

Yang Shanfu hung up the phone.

Zhang Yong: ...

put the receiver down in a huff.

As it turned out, his mind hadn't even started to turn yet. The phone rang again.

He picked it up reluctantly.

The voice on the other end of the line was his boss's, 'Shaolong, come back immediately!'
