Chapter 460: Encountering a Villain

Yu Lexing looked at Zhang Yong with confusion.

He wondered why Zhang Yong had told Tang Boming such nonsense.

There was obviously no mortar...

And there was definitely no Italian cannon...

'It's a Japanese spy,' Zhang Yong told Yu Lexing quietly.

'I see,' Yu Lexing suddenly understood.

He had listened to Zhong Yang describe the previous battle.

Yu Le Xing was very confused. Zhong Yang was also very confused. He always felt that the process was very strange.

It seemed that the Japanese invaders had made a mistake somewhere...

Now he finally understood. It turned out that Zhang Yong had done it on purpose.

He deliberately passed on the information to Tang Boming, who then reported it up the chain of command, and Zhang Yong played along.

As a result, Tang Boming was completely fooled.

No doubt he's gone to report it again. I reckon the Japanese spies will be busy scrambling to deal with another wave of attacks.

'Does Xiong Ba know?'

'We can't tell him.'

'Then...'

'It's fine for now.'

Zhang Yong is unfazed.

When it comes to deceiving people, he's still very good at it.

He can just make things up as he goes along.

After all, you don't go to jail for making up nonsense.

Can deceiving a Japanese spy be called cheating?

Tang Boming has reported false information twice in a row. I guess his boss hates him and won't trust him again so easily.

If he senses danger, this guy might even become more anti-Japanese than the Japanese themselves in order to survive.

Almost all Japanese spies don't want to die at the hands of their own people.

This is a common human characteristic. The same goes for the Japanese invaders.

Being killed by the enemy is perhaps acceptable. You are outmatched. There's nothing more to say. But being killed by your own people is absolutely unacceptable.

'Ring ring ring...'

'Ring ring ring...'

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Yu Lexing picked it up, listened for a moment, and looked strange. Then he handed it to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong took it with confusion. Yu Lexing then walked away.

'Who is it?' Zhang Yong asked curiously.

Which woman is it?

Hey, what's the expression on your face, Instructor Yu?

'Zhang Yong!'

The voice of Takeshi Kishida came over the phone.

Zhang Yong was taken aback. He didn't expect it to be this guy. He thought it was one of his women!

This Yu Le Xing! Making such a fuss.

'What is it?'

'It was you who went to Tang Village?'

'Yes!'

'You removed all the weapons and ammunition?'

'Yes!'

Zhang Yong answered very bluntly.

Yes. It was me. I did it all. If you Japanese want revenge, come on!

"No shots fired?'

'No!'

'Why did it go so smoothly?'

'I don't know. I just said I was sent by Shigehide Mogawa. And they didn't check my ID.'

'This...'

Takeo Kishida was silent. He didn't know what to say.

He had just received the news as well. Someone had taken all the weapons and ammunition from Tang Village. He immediately thought it was Zhang Yong who was behind it.

This guy must have taken advantage of the confusion during the troop rotation and pretended to be someone else, achieving his goal without a fight.

Curiosity drove him to call early in the morning to verify it himself.

It was indeed true.

'What identity did you use?'

'I didn't register a name. I just said I was sent by Mao Chuan Xiu.'

'It was that simple?'

'Yes, that simple. Oh, I also complained with one of your undercover agents, and cursed the Mao Chuan and Song Zi mansions...'

'What undercover agent?'

'The one who led the troop to change the guard! He was also a Japanese! He pretended to be a Chinese.'

'You know his identity?'

'Yes!'

'This...'

Kishida Takeo was speechless.

No wonder it was so easy. Zhang Yong knew the undercover Japanese.

Well, this is called applying the right remedy to the problem.

Where would the undercover Japanese have thought that Zhang Yong was fake?

Even a fake couldn't have known so much, and in the end he was completely unaware that he had been made a fool of.

Well, if anyone is to blame, it is Shigawa Hide for arranging the change of guard.

He was caught in the crossfire.

'You called so early in the morning just to ask about this?'

'No. No. I was asking... When will the army you transferred from Shandong Province arrive in Tianjin?'

'This is a military secret. You're asking me? How can I answer you?'

'I was just asking, just asking...'

Kishida Takao hung up the phone sheepishly.

Zhang Yong held the phone: ?

This Japanese spy, is he possessed?

He actually asked me for military secrets. What a jerk. He's got no brain.

Hang up the phone.

Busy breakfast.

I always feel that there is still a lack of someone in control around me.

Yu Lexing is the action instructor and often goes on missions with me. He doesn't have time to take charge. It also seems that he is not good at taking charge. He is not good at handling things other than combat.

Chen Gongshu is the same. This guy is just a simple actionist. He only knows how to act. He doesn't understand anything else.

Zhang Yong actually missed Li Boqi a lot.

If only Li Boqi had come to Tianjin to take charge, he would have had nothing to worry about.

He would just have to catch the Japanese spies and kill them. He would have left everything else to Li Boqi.

Li Boqi liked to scold people, but he got things done.

Zhang Yong couldn't help sharing this feeling with Yu Lexing over breakfast.

'Actually, there's something...' Yu Lexing paused, "I wanted to tell you. But I was afraid you'd think too much about it.'

'What is it? Why would I think too much?" Zhang Yong asked curiously.

'Actually, the director is interesting in having Li Boqi become the stationmaster of Tianjin Station...'

'That's good!'

Zhang Yong blurted out. Without any reservations.

He just liked the idea of Li Boqi getting promoted. Because Li Boqi was his backer.

If Li Boqi gets promoted, he can be even more lawless and do whatever he wants.

Before, in Shanghai, it was relatively close to Jinling, so even with Li Boqi's protection, he couldn't go too far.

After all, there was also the headquarters of the Goose and Chicken Lane nearby.

But if it's in the distant Tianjinwei, it's a different story.

Frankly speaking, this side of Tianjinwei is no longer under the control of the Jinling government at all. The government here has almost no presence.

Since the signing of the Tanggu Agreement and the He-Mei Agreement, even an idiot knows that this side is no longer under the control of the Nanjing government.

Neither the 29th Army nor the Japanese invaders listen to Chiang Kai-shek.

Therefore, in Tianjin, the Fuxing Society can do whatever it likes without any worries. As long as you are capable, you can do anything.

The price is that you have to bear the consequences yourself.

If the Japanese invaders retaliate furiously, the headquarters will not be able to provide timely support. Nor will they be able to.

Therefore, in previous operations to eliminate traitors, Wang Tianmu and Chen Gongshu had all resorted to assassination.

They had rarely appeared in the name of the Fuxing Society. They had always acted in secret.

To outsiders, they had no idea what the Fuxing Society was. Not many people took it seriously.

At this time, the Fuxing Society was still a disadvantaged group in the Pingjin area.

It was only after Zhang Yong arrived that he carried out several major operations, and the outside world gradually became aware of the name Fuxing Society.

But it was only known in related circles. No one else had any idea who the Fuxing Society was. It was a far cry from the famous 'Military Unity' of later generations.

For example, in Tianjin, there was not even a decent office.

There was no professional logistical support.

There were no cells.

There were no interrogation rooms.

There was no weapons room.

There was nothing.

Zhang Yong would not have bothered with any of this.

It would be great if we could transfer Li Boqi here to be the station chief.

In Shanghai, with his seniority and achievements, Li Boqi could never be appointed station chief. But he would be perfectly fine as the station chief in Tianjin. Because Tianjin is a dangerous place.

Like Beiping, it could turn into enemy territory at any time. No one would want to come here with such a high risk.

The only people who would be willing are the two assassins Wang Tianmu and Chen Gongshu.

'Is that true?' Zhang Yong is puzzled.

'That's the general idea. Since we're talking about it, I'll ask you what you think in private.' Yu Lexing nodded.

'Why ask me?'

'Because you are close to Li Boqi.'

'What about Team Leader Li?'

'He didn't say anything. I think he'd be willing to come. He has a blood feud with the Japanese invaders. He's not afraid to die.'

'That's fine. I'm in favour!'

Zhang Yong expressed his opinion directly.

There was no ambiguity in such matters.

Everyone in the Restoration Society knew that he and Li Boqi were in the same boat.

To deal with Zhang Yong was to deal with Li Boqi.

Likewise, to deal with Li Boqi was to deal with Zhang Yong.

The two men shared the same interests.

Li Boqi was still his guide. He had shown him the ropes.

To put it another way, he was his master.

In those days, ingratitude was highly despised. Betrayal was a very serious crime.

If you betray your master and destroy your ancestors, you will be cursed for 18 generations.

'However, if Li Boqi really becomes the stationmaster of Tianjin Station, you may not be able to stay in Tianjin for long,' Yu Lexing reminded him, "The situation is becoming more and more complicated, the Japanese spies are becoming more and more crazy, and you may be transferred to other places at any time to provide support. After Li Boqi arrives, the danger will also increase drastically.'

'I know," Zhang Yong said bluntly.

Who cares!

Let's help Li Boqi seize the post of station chief first.

If Li Boqi really becomes the station chief of the Tianjin station, it will be a big step up.

He will become an important figure within the Fuxing Society.

Don't look at the Tianjin station, there aren't many people there. But the level is very high. It's exactly the same as the Shanghai station.

As for danger...

Li Boqi afraid of danger?

He has a foul mouth, a little danger is just right.

He will be too busy dealing with the Japanese invaders to find time to curse people. It's just the right thing to do to shut him up.

'What about Chen Gongshu?'

'He'll probably go back to the Shanghai station.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Jia Tengying had no problem being the station manager. However, the abilities of the old good guy were really average.

I guess the director was also not at ease. So Chen Gongshu was transferred back to Shanghai as Jia Tengying's deputy, or in charge of the operations department or something.

Jia Tengying knows this only too well, so he will definitely delegate power to Chen Gongshu.

After all is said and done, this is the Chief's skill.

If Li Boqi is not transferred, Chen Gongshu will not be able to control the overall situation.

After all, Li Boqi is also a capable person.

When two capable people meet, conflicts are likely to arise.

By transferring Li Boqi to Tianjin, he would be in charge of a major city, and everyone would be happy. It had to be said, the Chief's tactics were very clever.

No one was unhappy with this transfer. Everyone was very happy.

I wonder if it's a win-win for all sides?

'When will it be settled the soonest?' Zhang Yong couldn't wait.

'It won't be that soon,' Yu Lexiang said helplessly. "The soonest it will be settled is the end of the year. After it's settled, he'll take up the post, and that will be next year.'

'Next year..." Zhang Yong calculated. It doesn't seem that long.

It's already November 35. There's just over a month to go until next year. There's hope.

Yes, there's a lot of hope.

After Li Boqi arrives, he can once again do whatever he likes.

And he can always get Li Boqi's advice. He can avoid making mistakes. What he lacks most at the moment is Li Boqi's advice. Even scolding is guidance.

It's been a long time since Li Boqi gave him advice, and for a moment, he misses it.

Sigh, this ungrateful bone...

However, it seems that the next year is going to be more and more promising and more and more fruitful...

Unfortunately, the good mood was soon interrupted by bad news.

'Captain, there was a phone call from 49 Shihu Street, saying that someone from Beiping has come to the door.'

'What?'

'They have always thought that we are Zhang Benzheng's people.'

'Really?'

Zhang Yong felt incredible.

What era is this, and there are still such idiots?

They actually still think that they are Zhang Benzheng's people?

Come on...

Big brother...

Do you want me to show you my Fuxing Society ID?

So he took the men back to No. 49 Shihu Street.

To see those idiots.

It was rare to find people so single-minded. It was a rare sight.

Hey, there are quite a few of them. There are more than ten of them. They are all wearing black silk long coats.

One of them even wore a round English gentleman's hat. He looked like a real gentleman. I guess he's the leader. He had several gold bracelets on his wrists. He was showing off. But he really is rich.

In Zhang Yong's opinion, it's easy to tell. The bracelets are all gold. They all weigh more than 20 grams.

Damn. He really is rich. Does he need to wear so many at the same time?

When Zhang Yong appeared, the man with the gold bracelet immediately narrowed his eyes, squinting and looking down on him condescendingly.

'Are you one of Zhang Benzheng's men?'

'Who am I? Have you come to Tianjinwei without asking around?'

Zhang Yong replied coldly.

He was also impressed. The other party really didn't know him.

After all that had happened in Tianjinwei, they actually didn't know? Did he suspect that the other party was a bit isolated from the world?

Or is the name Fuxing Society really so humble that no one cares?

The other party still thinks he is Zhang Benzheng's subordinate. What a piece of shit.

'You really don't recognise who I am?'

'Son of a bitch! I don't care who you are! I want the goods! Deliver them immediately!'

'Is there any possibility...'

'I don't care about any possibilities! I must see the goods today! You must deliver them!'

Jin Shoubai was menacing.

As soon as the hundredth song began, his men immediately drew their guns.

Zhang Yong: ...

It's over. I've met a bad guy.

He's also someone whose brain development is incomplete, and whose cerebellum is completely underdeveloped.

There's nothing I can do.

I feel so tired.

It's actually not fun to meet such a fool.

Killing him with one shot won't get me rich. Meeting such an extreme person, I feel sorry for myself if I don't take a big profit...

Pretend to be scared.

Observe carefully and silently.

Good stuff. All revolvers. Very new.

Except for the leader with the gold bracelet, everyone else has a double-barrelled gun. Thirteen people, a total of 26 guns.

Wang Kemin is truly the number one traitor, and he has some elite men under him!

So cocky.

But...

Brother, are those the only things you have?

Can't you see that behind me, someone is carrying a Czech light machine gun?

You dare to ignore the existence of a machine gun with your twenty-odd submachine guns?

Come, let's have a good chat.
