Chapter 506: Acquaintances

Hijacking a train?

No way.

Zhang Yong's first reaction was that it was ridiculous.

This is a train! Not a car! How can you just hijack it? It's more like running onto the train and robbing a few people.

Rob and run. It's petty crime. Most people just have to consider themselves unlucky.

However, he soon thought of a historical unsolved case.

It was the Lincheng train robbery in 1923. A group of bandits kidnapped everyone on a train to the mountains.

It's exaggerated, right?

A train full of people! Hundreds of them! All captured and taken to the mountains.

In addition to the Chinese, there were also British, French, Americans, Italians, etc. According to the saying at the time, there were 40 foreigners.

Then negotiations were held with the Beiyang government.

The big boss of the Beiyang army at the time was Cao Kun, wasn't he?

Yes. He was.

Zhang Yong found this out from the historical archives of the Fuxing Society.

Of course, at that time there was no Fuxing Society. The Kuomintang had not yet decided to make Nanjing its capital. Boss Dai had not even entered the Whampoa Military Academy yet.

Oh, at that time there was not even a Whampoa Military Academy. The Whampoa Military Academy was founded in 1924.

This train robbery was indeed a big deal. Because it involved many foreigners. During the kidnapping, several British people were killed.

It is said to have alarmed countries around the world. It even made the headlines of British and American newspapers.

For a time, the whole world was paying attention to China. It was said that 16 countries were involved. This caused the then Foreign Minister Wellington Koo to be under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Restoration Society, this incident was also recorded. As historical data.

According to the corresponding information, the main planner of the Lincheng train robbery, a man named Sun Guizhi, was never found.

The bandit chief was mysteriously killed six months after being recruited.

This shows that there is no future in imitating Song Jiang. The result is only death.

Since you have rebelled, you must go all the way.

Once you lay down your arms, it is the end.

Thinking about this, Zhang Yong could not help but check the weapons in his possession.

Fortunately, there were still six pistols and seven grenades. There were also enough bullets.

Unfortunately, the Thompson submachine gun could not be put in. Otherwise, he would definitely put in a few Thompsons. It's for survival when necessary!

Gold bars are tempting. But you have to be alive to spend it.

At any time, weapons are more valuable than gold. Especially in times of war.

If he gets this wrong, Zhang Yong's life is probably not going to be saved.

Suddenly, he noticed a red dot moving.

It was the Japanese soldier disguised as an old man, walking over. He was swinging a pipe in his hand.

The brass pipe in his hand was very distinctive.

Zhang Yong immediately gave Cao Mengqi some instructions. Cao Mengqi immediately deployed secretly.

A moment later, the old man came over to Cao Mengqi. He looked lonely. He walked alone. He didn't say a word when he saw them.

Suddenly, Cao Mengqi waved his hand and pounced.

Meanwhile, behind him, several people stood up and blocked the view behind him.

The old man felt something was wrong. But it was already too late.

Cao Mengqi took personal action, so where would he give the other party a chance to resist?

On the spot, he reversed his hands and tied them tightly. A rag was also stuffed in his mouth. It was really strong.

It was like a rabbit rising and a hawk falling.

The main point was lightning in the blink of an eye.

Yi Juhai: ?

Yi Zhonghai: ?

Yi Honghai: ?

All three of them froze.

They couldn't help but subconsciously want to back away. But they found that there was no escape.

They were surrounded by Zhang Yong's men.

Helpless, they could only stand there,

praying secretly that they would not be caught. Fortunately, Zhang Yong did not target them for the time being.

The old man was brought before Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong reached out and touched the other person's face.

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

It was mainly the other person's eyes, as if they looked familiar?

That's strange...

How could this be?

It's as if I've seen those eyes before?

This is really spooky. How could this be?

Frowning...

thinking...

Suddenly, he reached out and tore open the other person's clothes. He noticed that the skin inside was very white. It didn't look like a man. It looked more like a woman.

He was stunned.

Could it be the Special High Section again?

He decisively tore open the other person's clothes.

Sure enough...

It really was a woman.

A stranger feeling came over him. It felt like he'd seen her somewhere before.

He was at a loss for words.

How is this possible...

Looking at the other person's expression, he noticed that her eyes were full of anxiety and anger.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see any changes in her cheeks. She must have been wearing makeup there too. Fortunately, she wasn't wearing any makeup on her body. Otherwise, he wouldn't have recognised her.

She was actually a woman. Was she an accomplice of the Nightingale? Or had Lin Xiaoyan come?

Or was she another member of the Special High Class?

Pulling her clothes back in place, he deliberately pounded her with his fist. Hard. To teach her a lesson.

Look at the way she's looking at him. It's as if she's about to burst into flames.

Zhang Yong doesn't care at all.

This is her making the wrong career choice.

She's a woman, and she's come into this line of work, and the result is predictable.

What's the point of punching her with your fist? The more brutal things are yet to come. Unfortunately, he is a human being, not an animal. There are some crimes against humanity that he cannot do.

Otherwise...

Heh heh...

'He, he...' Yi Honghai asked cautiously.

'He's a Japanese invader,' Zhang Yong replied casually. "He's disguised as a Chinese person with evil intentions.'

'Ah, he's Japanese?" Yi Honghai seemed to find this hard to believe.

It wasn't an act. It was truly unbelievable.

No matter how you looked at it, the other person didn't look Japanese. How did Zhang Yong know?

Half-believing, Yi Honghai felt that this might be a trap.

It might have been deliberately arranged by Zhang Yong. The purpose might be to test them.

'Yes. He's a Japanese invader!'

'So...'

'Do you dare to beat up a Japanese invader?'

'We...'

'Beat him up anyway!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Yi Honghai hesitated. Suddenly, he punched the old man.

It was aimed at the old man's shoulder. He wasn't sure if the other person was a Japanese.

In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to strike.

As a result, the old man staggered backwards and fell.

He was suddenly filled with anger. But he couldn't move or scream.

Yi Honghai then concluded that he was the tool Zhang Yong had hired to test them. So he struck without mercy.

'Boom!'

'Boom!'

He hit the old man many times in a row.

Each punch was powerful and heavy, with almost no reservations.

Since Zhang Yong wanted to test him, of course he had to go all out to prove his extreme 'hate' for the Japanese invaders...

The old man was beaten back repeatedly.

Zhang Yong suddenly reached out and pulled the rag out of the old man's mouth.

'Ah...'

'Po...'

Suddenly, a jet of blood spurted out.

But it was the old man who was beaten so hard that he spit blood. She is essentially a woman, so how could she withstand such a beating?

"Stop!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Yi Honghai hurriedly stopped. He was very satisfied with his performance.

He had made the other person spit blood. That was enough to prove himself.

Sure enough, Zhang Yong seemed very satisfied.

He then ordered the old man to be pulled up and taken inside the box.

There happened to be an empty box. It was immediately requisitioned.

Before, he had secretly escorted them and needed to keep a low profile, so they hadn't booked a box.

Now, never mind, he didn't bother to keep a low profile.

Zhang Yong casually pushed her down onto the seat. Then he sat next to him.

He waved his hand. Telling everyone else to step back a little.

He whispered in her ear, 'The three of them are also Japanese spies. How do you feel about being beaten up by your own people?'

The old man was anxious and angry, struggling desperately, but it was useless.

Tied up. Injured. Angry.

'Tell me, what were you doing on the train?'

'Go to hell!'

'You know me!'

'Hmph!'

'I'm surprised that you came over even though you know me. Are you deliberately provoking me?'

'Go to hell!'

the other person said angrily.

Zhang Yong suddenly recognised her. She seemed to be an acquaintance.

Yes. An acquaintance!

Xia Lan?

Yes. It's her! Yes. It's her!

Ahhh...

She actually came to him of her own accord.

He immediately began to peel away the disguise on her body, tearing off the disguise with great force.

'Ah...'

Xia Lan gasped in pain.

In the end, Zhang Yong ruthlessly killed the clay on her face. Revealing her true face.

Yes. It really was Xia Lan.

Although a bit dishevelled. But her face was pretty. Genuine.

'Eh?'

Cao Mengqi and the others were all surprised.

They had all seen Xia Lan before. They never expected to find her here!

She was actually a Japanese spy!

And she was caught by Zhang Yong. And then she was beaten up.

Yi Juhai: ?

Yi Zhonghai: ?

Yi Honghai: ?

Their minds were in a complete mess. They were trying to figure out what was going on. However, there was never an answer.

Chaos.

It was so chaotic.

It was a woman!

This woman even knew Zhang Yong!

From the way Zhang Yong spoke, this woman was very close to him. She might be his mistress.

Sure enough, she was the one Zhang Yong sent to test them. Fortunately, they didn't give themselves away.

'You all go out.'

'Yes.'

Cao Mengqi left the private room.

The others followed.

Xia Lan was tied up and couldn't do any harm. There was no need to worry.

'What are you doing here?'

'Killing you.'

'Think before you speak. There's no way you could have known I was on the train.'

'I know.'

'Seriously. Don't waste time. Otherwise I'll come again.'

'Hijack the train.'

'You're joking. Rob a train? How?'

'There's a railway spur near Xiaoguozhuang. If you flip the switch and slow down, the train will enter the spur.'

'Really?'

Zhang Yong began to believe.

It seemed that such an operation was really feasible. It only required cooperation from both inside and outside.

The key was that there were Japanese behind this. The Japanese railway technology must be much more advanced than the Chinese. They had the technology and the equipment.

It would be very difficult for ordinary robbers to set up a train branch line. But it would be easy for Japanese spies.

But here's the problem. What's the point?

What's the point of hijacking a train for no reason? What are you doing with your time?

Blackmail?

That's just childish. It's not worth the trouble.

Hijacking a train is a big deal, and there are a lot of foreigners on the train, which could easily lead to international disputes.

If the truth is ever uncovered...

I don't believe the Japanese invaders are that stupid.

'What do you want?'

'You.'

'What?'

'We've hijacked the train and we've instructed you to negotiate. Then we'll kill you.'

'Er...'

Zhang Yong was at a loss for words.

What was all this about? Trouble coming from nowhere?

I was just sitting on the train minding my own business, and while I wasn't eating hotpot and singing songs, I can't just get into trouble for no reason, can I?

This is so unfair...

I didn't do anything!

"So what were you doing on the train? An insider?'

'Controlling the passengers. Watching their movements. Preventing any trouble. Especially from those foreigners.'

'How many people did you arrange?'

'We didn't have many people. It was mainly the people from the Cao Gang.'

'Cao Gang?'

Zhang Yong frowned.

The name was very familiar. And also very troublesome.

There was nothing he could do...

This time, he really was in trouble.
