Chapter 474: No longer wanting to live

Zhang Yong certainly had an ulterior motive.

If he could drive a wedge between them, he would. They were not good birds either.

By driving a wedge between them, he would be able to profit from the situation.

In fact, he was not completely bluffing.

What he said was the truth.

The Special High School would indeed be annexed by the Japanese military. It would be restructured.

Its original function of monitoring the military will be completely abolished. It will become a complete fascist monster.

Apart from suppressing anti-Japanese elements, the Special High School will no longer have any other functions.

It will eventually disappear completely with the demise of the Japanese military. However, the Japanese military police department will rise again.

By then, the wheel of fortune will turn, and it will be the military police department's turn to oppress the military.

Of course, this incident cannot be told to the nightingale.

She needs to feel the sense of crisis.

It would be best if she secretly did something for him.

It was impossible for her to surrender. They could not become Japanese traitors.

But secretly helping him in exchange for future benefits was no problem.

Bait was everywhere.

As long as she liked it, it was fine.

'An outlet? What outlet?' The Nightingale sneered.

'Find a general and become his lover.' Zhang Yong's face was expressionless, 'You can live very well.'

'What if I don't want to?'

'Then you'll have to keep a low profile and stay out of the way.'

'Stay out of the way? Where can I go?'

'You figure it out. There's always a way out.'

Zhang Yong didn't give her an answer.

He wanted her to suffer.

And Lin Xiaoyan. She probably couldn't sit still either.

Once the Special High School was absorbed into the military, they would definitely not have an easy time. Next year, something would happen, and the soldiers would kill the police.

In fact, there had been deep-seated conflicts between the two sides before. When the incident broke out, the conflict deepened. The military will definitely kick them all out.

Maybe they will even get rid of them. They must prepare early.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Yong.

He is only responsible for driving them apart. He will not find a way out for them. He will kill them without mercy.

Unless they are willing to help themselves.

For example, secretly passing on some information. It depends on their sincerity.

'What are you doing here looking for Yin Taesik?'

'Collecting a debt.'

'How much?'

'A few hundred thousand yen!'

'Yin Taesik didn't pay you. You need to come all the way here to collect?'

'What else?'

'Okay, I'll help you collect! I don't need yen. You can have it.'

'Thank you for your kindness. But no. I'll take care of my own business.'

'I'm worried you won't be able to...'

'What?'

The nightingale frowned.

Zhang Yong smiled without saying a word.

This woman, not a single word of truth.

For hundreds of thousands of yen, chased from Shanghai to Tianjin?

Think I'm stupid!

Hundreds of thousands of dollars is more like it!

I suspect that there is something between the Special High Commission and Yoon Tae-seok that cannot be seen.

After all, the Special High Commission was also an executioner who suppressed anti-Japanese elements. Each of them is guilty. There is definitely no shortage of dirty deeds.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, they will be punished. They will all have to serve their full sentences.

Of course, if they have performed meritorious deeds and are anti-war, it is possible. It is not impossible to show leniency...

They are Japanese girls, and they are so pretty, so you can't just kill them all.

Arrest Kawashima Yoshiko as a representative...

History seems to be like this. Including the mysterious Nanjo Unko, her whereabouts are unknown in the end. Who knows what happened to them?

Or perhaps they weren't dealt with at all. Were they instead hidden away in the ruins of history?

"You...'

The Nightingale paused.

Seeing Zhang Yong wave his hand, she was ready to move.

It turned out that Yoon Tae-seok was preparing to leave Jukwon.

It was good to have the small dots marked on the map. Without the markings, it would have been impossible to tell which was Yoon Tae-seok. But with the markings, his every move was clear to her.

The map showed that Yoon Tae-seok was getting into a car with his men. They were ready to go.

'What are you going to do?'

'Capture Yin Taixi.'

'You're going in?'

'No. Yin Taixi is coming out.'

Zhang Yong replied casually.

The nightingale was about to speak when she saw the gate to the bamboo garden open.

Then, three black sedans came out in a row from inside. Moving at a constant speed. Is Yin Taixi in one of them? But which one is he in?

The windows of all the sedans are black. They are completely covered.

'Liuqi, the target is in the lead car.'

'Understood!'

Wu Liuqi agreed and led the men in action.

Zhang Yong didn't need to participate. He had a shoulder injury. He could only watch the fun.

He was now thoroughly cowardly.

He hid behind whenever there was danger. He was no longer impulsive.

Professionals do professional things. He was not professional in fighting. Going up there would only be a hindrance.

'You're injured?' The Nightingale suddenly asked.

'Well, I've been a bit careless lately. I got shot by a Japanese spy.' Zhang Yong answered frankly.

'How come he didn't kill you?'

'It was close.'

'Hmph!'

The Nightingale gritted her teeth.

This guy just had a lot of luck.

She didn't know where he got his strange abilities, but they made them very passive.

Until now, the Nightingale still hadn't figured out how Zhang Yong had discovered her. Zhang Yong was rubbish when it came to professional skills!

What the hell is this about smelling Japanese people?

She couldn't believe it.

Most likely, this guy has some strange and unusual abilities...

'Pop!'

'Pop!'

Suddenly, gunshots were heard from a distance.

It was Wu Liuji and the others who had launched the attack.

Since it was determined that the target was the lead car, the focus of the attack was on the two cars behind.

Eliminate the two cars behind and block the first one.

This is all a matter of practice. It's something you do all the time. It's methodical. It's step by step.

The Nightingale frowned.

They actually fired? They weren't afraid of killing Yoon Tae-seok?

Yoon Tae-seok couldn't die. Otherwise, many of her plans would be impossible to carry out. It wasn't easy for her to come to Tianjin.

'You're not afraid of killing Yoon Tae-seok?'

'No.'

'Why?'

'Because I know he's in the first car.'

'What?'

The Nightingale was stunned again.

Yin Tiexi was in the first car? How did you know?

She didn't see it at all!

Although the three cars were different, there was no evidence that Yin Tiexi would be in the first car.

What if you make a mistake...

Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

This Zhang Yong may be overconfident.

'You may be wrong.'

'I won't be wrong.'

'Let's make a bet.'

'No need. You see for yourself.'

'Humph...'

The nightingale turned his head.

As a result, his face suddenly looked a little uneasy.

It turned out that Yintai City had been caught.

He could only see the car in front, surrounded by Zhang Yong's men. All of them had dark muzzles.

The back door opened, and a man timidly walked out with his hands raised. He was being stared at with a muzzle. He didn't dare to move a muscle.

This person, if they turned into ashes, the nightingale would recognise them. If it wasn't Yintai City, then who was it?

He turned his head.

He looked at Zhang Yong in shock.

How did this guy deduce that Yin Taishi was in the car in front?

Guess?

Are you kidding me!

How could you possibly guess something like that?

If you make a mistake, the person inside will be dead. There's no second chance.

'How did you know?'

'Don't ask. If I tell you, it means I have x-ray vision.'

'What?'

The Nightingale was speechless.

You have x-ray vision. Why didn't you write 'wheel eyes'?

There was nothing he could do. He ignored him. He watched as Yoon Tae-seok was escorted out. Then he was brought before Zhang Yong.

When he saw Zhang Yong, Yoon Tae-seok's face suddenly changed.

Damn it! It was him!

This was going to be troublesome.

He would either die or be seriously injured!

'Chairman Yoon, we meet again,' Zhang Yong said with a smile.

'You...' Yoon Tae-seok's face turned pale, and he turned deathly pale, 'Zhang...'

'I have several identities. Zhang Yong of the Fuxing Society. Liu Heizi of Shanghai. Which identity do you want me to use to talk to you?'

'Liu, Liu...'

Yin Taishi of course hoped it was the latter.

If it was the former, then it was over. There was no turning back.

If captured by an agent of the Fuxing Society, he would be stuck in a cell for the rest of his life. Trying to get out was more difficult than climbing to the moon. Don't even think about it.

If it's Liu Heizi, it means there's still a chance.

This guy is nicknamed Moneybags. He's also known as Reaching for Money from the Coffin. Nothing is impossible with money. If there is, it's just not enough.

'Very well, I am Liu Heizi now. How have you been, Chairman Yin?'

'Fine. Fine...'

Yin Taeseok's words did not come from the heart. The thought of having to bleed so much money made his heart ache.

However, between death and financial ruin, he had no choice. Only a fool would choose death. What's the point of having so much money if you're dead?

'President Yoon, you've come a long way to Tianjin, what's the reason?'

'Just passing through, visiting a friend.'

'Your friend is called Wang Zhulin?'

'Yes...'

'That's good, I'm about to arrest Wang Zhulin!'

'Er... I'm just passing through. Passing through...'

'Wang Zhulin is a criminal who traffics Chinese workers. Were you involved, Chairman Yin?'

'No. No. I just met Wang Zhulin. We have no business dealings.'

'Chairman Yin, you must promise to tell the truth.'

'I promise, I promise...'

'Very well. When I catch Wang Zhulin, I will confront him. At that time, I will naturally let you go.'

'Very well, very well...'

Yin Taeseok's forehead was sweating.

At this moment, Wu Liuqi came up. He was followed by several people.

The four of them were carrying two heavy boxes. Just by looking at them, you could tell that the boxes were very heavy.

Roughly judging, each box was at least over 100 catties.

'Dong!'

'Dong!'

The boxes made a dull sound when they hit the ground.

This was even more impressive. What was inside? Why was it so heavy? It couldn't be bricks...

Zhang Yong looked at Yin Taishi.

Yoon Tae-shik's face was changing unpredictably. He was fidgeting.

Clearly, there was something in those two boxes that he didn't want anyone to see. It made him feel like sitting on pins and needles.

'Chairman Yoon, I'll give you one more chance.'

'I...'

'If you don't speak up, you won't get another chance. Do you see the wound on my shoulder? It was inflicted by the Japanese. I'm now lightly wounded but still in the line of duty. You should know that when someone is wounded, they are prone to anger...'

'I was going to meet Mr. Yoon.'

In an instant, Yoon Tae-shik understood. He confessed hastily.

This Zhang Yong was already a hothead. Now he's been injured. You can imagine how hotheaded he is.

If he were just shot, that would be good.

The problem is...

what if he can't die? That would be tragic.

It is said that this Zhang Yong's methods of torture are all very novel. Many moves that no one else could have thought of.

Many professional torture experts have said they have never heard of them.

For example, putting someone over the exhaust pipe of a car. Then stepping on the accelerator...

I can't even imagine what that would be like.

'Which Mr Yu?'

'Yu Zhongchun.'

'Him?'

Zhang Yong was momentarily stunned.

He knew the name. A heavyweight figure in Tianjin.

He was once a powerful figure in the Pingjin region. He later announced his retirement from politics. He now lives in Tianjin. But his influence is still very great.

The key thing is that this Yu Zhongchun is closely related to Yu Xuezhong.

The two are said to be of the same clan.

Yu Xuezhong is also from Hebei Province. He is an important general in the Northeast Army.

At the moment, Yu Xuezhong is in charge of Gansu Province. He is also the commander of the 51st Army. He is in charge of military and political affairs. He is in a high position with great power. He is quite influential in North China.

This is the real big shot.

To be honest, people like Yuan Wenhui, Zhang Benzheng, and Wang Zhulin are all small fries in front of Yu Xuezhong and Yu Zhongchun. They all started out as rascals and thugs and are not worthy of being in the limelight.

The Japanese can use these traitors to do something that cannot be seen by others. But if they want to openly establish a puppet regime, these people are not qualified at all. Because no ordinary people are willing to accept them.

It's like a monkey wearing a crown. The Japanese all know that this will not work. It will be a laughing stock.

However, Yu Zhongchun is different.

His weight is roughly equivalent to Wang Kemin and the likes in Beiping.

They all had official status.

They all had their own base. They had many followers.

On the surface, there was nothing for the common people to hate. He could deceive many ordinary people.

'What's the point of seeing him?'

'This...'

'Open the boxes!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

His left hand had finally recovered completely.

The first box was opened. It was full of heavy gold bars.

Zhang Yong:!!!

Nightingale:!!!

Everyone was stunned.

My god!

So many gold bars!

Zhang Yong's first reaction was that they must be fake.

How could someone get hold of such a large box of gold bars?

This isn't a fantasy novel. This is ridiculous!

There's no way around it, poverty has limited his imagination. He can't think of anywhere other than a vault where there would be so many gold bars.

Packed in a box?

Carried around?

You've got to be kidding me! The Japanese are that generous? Haha. Like I've never seen a Japanese person before?

It's probably fake...

It's probably just plated with copper...

He picks one up at random to test it.

Bites it.

It's good. It's cold. It seems to have a slight sweetness to it.

And it's soft. It really does give way under my teeth. Take one out and look at it. The teeth marks seem quite deep. It seems to be of high purity?

I can't believe it.

It's unbelievable.

It seems to be real? Are they really all gold bars?

I don't believe it. Keep taking random ones out and biting them one by one. The results all seem to be genuine.

Speechless.

Looking at Yoon Tae-seok.

I really want to know what he's doing carrying around so much gold.

This is exaggerated...

However, Yoon Tae-seok looked as if he had constipation.

'So many?'

'Er...'

'Are they all real?'

'Er...'

'None of them are adulterated?'

'Er...'

Yoon Tae-seok could not answer.

Because he was already heartbroken and unable to breathe.

Such a large box of gold bars!

A full 300 bars! 300 grams each! All big gold bars!

And it turned out that all of them fell into Zhang Yong's hands...

'Ahhh...'

'This bastard!'

'And he just handed it over?'

The nightingale next to him was also heartbroken and unable to breathe.

So many gold bars, more than 100 pounds, just fell into Zhang Yong's hands?

Even if you saw it with your own eyes, you couldn't believe it.

Yin Taishi is so stupid!

How could he carry so many gold bars around with him!

And then Zhang Yong grabbed it all!

Yin Taishi is such a waste of space, such a moron, such a fool, such a jerk...

'Open it!'

Zhang Yong pointed to another box.

This box seems to be a little lighter. It may not be gold bars.

However, after opening it...

It's also full of gold bars. There are also some US dollars and British pounds.

Zhang Yong is actually expressionless.

Well.

He's not someone who has never seen money before.

But so many gold bars is really a first.

The last time he saw the most gold bars was when he caught Yan Ruizhi. It seems to have been a long time ago.

Waving his hand.

Seal it up. Out of sight, out of mind.

With so many gold bars, he can't possibly swallow them all himself. He needs to use them for something practical.

Hand them in?

Not for now. Headquarters is so far away. How would he get them there?

It's very unsafe to take so many gold bars by train.

Unless he sends an airplane...

Huh?

This is possible.

He can really ask the Air Force Department to send an airplane to transport them.

Well, this is a good idea.

It's necessary to please that lady. In the future, he will need her help to cover things up.

Anyway, this lady is quite protective. She is very protective of the Air Force.

Just watch 'All Quiet on the Western Front' to see why the Air Force is so arrogant, and why the officers are more powerful than the generals, because they have that lady behind them. No one dares to offend the Air Force.

I'm just rambling...

'Oh, that's right. Where did you and Miyamoto-teikuma go last time?'

'When?'

'When you were in Jinling! After you got back, you realised that your suitcase was gone...'

'What? It was you?'

Yoon Tae-shik's eyes suddenly widened. It was as if a sudden relief had eased his constipation.

It felt as if he was standing on the banks of the Yellow River, machine-gun fire raking his back. It was a pleasant feeling. The mystery that had troubled him for so long suddenly had an answer.

Back then, he and Miyamoto Teguma had quietly carried a large sum of money and wanted to meet someone's trusted subordinate. To be on the safe side, the two of them parked the car further away and walked to the detective. They were convinced that there was nothing unusual, so they returned to retrieve the money. Then they discovered that the suitcase was gone. The car was still there. But the suitcase was gone.

Yin Taesik clearly remembers what Miyamoto Teguma's face looked like at the time.

After that, Miyamoto Teguma went crazy and killed all the thieves and whatnot in Jinling City. He also deliberately created a climate of fear.

In fact, the root cause was that the suitcase was gone.

Even now, Yoon Tae-seok doesn't know who took the suitcase. Miyamoto Teguma was also unable to find it. He doesn't even know who took the suitcase.

He was paranoid for a while. During that time, Miyamoto Teguma was just crazy.

Who would have thought that it was actually Zhang Yong who took it.

'You...'

'I happened to pass by and saw a car parked nearby, which I found a bit strange. So I went over to take a look. After looking, I thought there might be contraband in the boot. So I pried open the boot and found a suitcase inside. I checked the suitcase. I found it was full of gold bars and cash. So I took it.'

'You, you, you...'

Yoon Tae-seok suddenly felt like crying.

Really.

He really wanted to cry.

You happened to pass by. You happened to take the suitcase...

You just happened to do everything!

Do you think I believe that? Can I believe that? I don't believe you...

Do you think Miyamoto Takeru will believe that?

'It's true,'

Zhang Yong defended solemnly.

What stalking. It doesn't exist.

I said it was a coincidence and it was a coincidence.

'You were so careful, there was no way I could have followed you!' Zhang Yong said sincerely, 'I really was just passing by. I didn't know the suitcase belonged to you. I only found out later.'

'I, I, I...' Yin Taishi felt his throat go dry. It felt as if he really wanted to vomit blood.

There was nothing he could do. The blow was too great.

That time, he had suffered a huge loss. Because all the funds had come from him.

Fortunately, he had gone with Miyamoto Takeru. Otherwise, just losing such a large sum of money would have meant that he would have to commit hara-kiri to atone for his crime. Later, all the responsibility was taken by Miyamoto Takeru. He was fine.

After that, he kept a low profile. He was afraid to go out, for fear of being targeted again.

This time, when he came to Tianjin, he was also very careful. He didn't dare to go out.

Who knew...

He was still targeted by Zhang Yong.

Encountering his nemesis Zhang Yong again, he didn't want to live anymore...

Really.

He was frustrated, disappointed, and desperate...

Ahhh...

Life is hopeless...

It's better to die...
