Chapter 591: Obstruct

Jinling, Xiaguan Railway Station.

Gu Bafeng smoked his cigarette in boredom. Every now and then, he looked at his watch.

Alas, time was so hard to pass. A cigarette only lasted five minutes.

Life had been so boring lately.

There was nothing to do. Nothing to gain.

As a member of the Military Police Command, he must want to do something.

After all, he had previously worked with Zhang Yong and arrested so many Japanese spies. They had also seized a considerable amount of wealth.

It was a great feeling, with fame and fortune.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yong had gone north. No one knew when he would return.

Alas, since Zhang Yong had left, the Japanese spies in Jinling seemed to have become active again. They had caused quite a stir.

Some Japanese spies had even thrown bombs at the front door of the Military Police Headquarters.

Very arrogant. Unfortunately, no one was caught.

There have been a lot of incidents in other places too. It feels like the Japanese spies are retaliating furiously.

Over in Chicken and Goose Lane, there was also an agent who suddenly went missing. Maybe they were captured by the Japanese spies. Or maybe they were killed.

This is intolerable.

Of course, the various departments are furious and have launched a counterattack. They are on the move frequently.

However, neither the Military Police Command, nor the Fuxing Society, nor the Police Department, have captured many Japanese spies.

When it comes to catching Japanese spies, Zhang Yong is still the expert!

When will that guy be back...

'Director Gu!'

Someone suddenly called out.

Gu Bafeng was taken aback.

Huh? Did that sound like Zhang Yong?

This is ridiculous. I've even started hearing things. I thought Zhang Yong had returned.

To be honest, I've been looking forward to his return!

Right now, there are Japanese spies everywhere in Jinling, and you can catch a lot of them just by randomly arresting people.

The prerequisite is that only Zhang Yong can make the arrests.

It's hard to find one even if you work really hard.

'Director Gu!'

Zhang Yong's voice continued to come.

Gu Bafeng stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Threw it on the ground. Stomped on it.

Reached out and rubbed his ears.

Damn it, it's just an illusion.

'Gu Bafeng!'

Zhang Yong's voice raised an octave.

It sounded as if it was getting closer and closer.

Gu Bafeng suddenly felt something was wrong. Huh? Could it be that Zhang Yong has really returned?

He turned around.

Sure enough, he saw Zhang Yong.

'Hey...'

Gu Bafeng suddenly let out a cry.

This time, there were no phantom sounds. There were no hallucinations either. It was true that Zhang Yong had returned.

Next to Zhang Yong were Yang Lichu, Zhang Ping, and Qin Lishan. Just by looking at the situation, he knew that Zhang Yong was on a mission.

'Catching spies? Take me with you! Take me with you!' Gu Bafeng shouted.

Just now, he was feeling very bored.

Now, he immediately felt that hope was on the way.

As long as Zhang Yong was around, life was full of fun. Hehe. Catching Japanese spies is definitely a happy event in life!

'What are you doing here?' Zhang Yong asked casually.

'Sigh, exile,' Gu Bafeng replied listlessly.

'What?'

'Boring. Nothing to do. I wanted to catch a few Japanese spies here. But I don't have your abilities, so I can't catch any.'

'So you're after Japanese spies! I thought you were checking out the pretty girls...'

'What's there to see in pretty girls? I'd rather catch Japanese spies! Where are you going to catch them? I'll go with you!'

'I'm going to Hangzhou. Are you coming?'

'Yes!

Gu Bafeng agreed.

Hangzhou? No problem. There are military police units there too.

Anyway, Zhang Yong goes wherever he goes, and he follows him wherever he goes. Otherwise, it would really be boring. A waste of his prime youth.

'Are you really going?'

'Give me five minutes. I'll make a phone call. I'll go with you right away.'

'That's fine.'

Zhang Yong didn't refuse either.

He took Gu Bafeng to Hangzhou. It was actually quite convenient for doing things.

Because Hangzhou was Xuan Tiewu's territory. This time, when Zhang Yong went to Hangzhou, the Chief didn't show up. He said he would leave it to Xuan Tiewu to handle.

In fact, the underlying meaning was that Xuan Tiewu refused to let the Chief tell him what to do in Hangzhou.

You, Zhang Yong, can come. But no one else.

No one, including Li Boqi.

Zhang Yong felt insecure bringing along 50 men himself. It was just as well that he brought along Gu Bafeng.

The military police headquarters and the police station of Gu Bafeng were also two independent forces. Their relationship with Xuan Tiewu was similar to that of the Three Kingdoms. It was complicated and full of twists and turns.

With Gu Bafeng bringing the military police to participate in the operation, Xuan Tiewu definitely wouldn't dare to provoke trouble openly.

At least, when he is with Gu Bafeng, Xuan Tiewu dares not do anything. He can't afford to offend both the Secret Service and the Military Police Headquarters. Unless he wants to die.

'Wait for me!'

'Don't you guys run off without me!'

Gu Bafeng mutters.

He turns around and goes to make a phone call.

Zhang Yong looks around thoughtfully. There are so many Japanese spies.

Within a radius of 450 metres, he has found at least five Japanese people hiding their identities. They are dressed exactly like Chinese people.

Not all Japanese spies are spies. But there is definitely something fishy going on.

I never thought that just a few months after leaving, the Japanese invaders would make a comeback. They have completely restored their espionage network in Jinling.

I wonder who is in charge here? There must be someone important. At least someone at the level of a general.

'Is Isogai Rensuke in Jinling?'

'I don't know.'

'Miss Yang, you are now the head of the Intelligence Division 3 of the Air Force Department. You should know some of the information.'

'I really don't know. Why don't you ask the Fuxing Society?'

'Forget it. I'll ask later.'

Zhang Yong shook his head.

Time was tight, the task was heavy, and Jinling was just a place he was passing through.

He wasn't even prepared to deal with the others from the Fuxing Society. The head of the department had gone to Tianjin. Most of his other acquaintances were also in North China.

It seemed that the only person currently in charge at the headquarters in Jie'er Lane was the secretary Mao Renfeng.

Mao Renfeng is a smiling tiger. On the surface, he is very friendly with you. But what is he thinking behind your back? Only God knows.

For such a dangerous person, Zhang Yong feels that it is better to keep a low profile.

'Boom...'

Suddenly, a muffled sound came.

Zhang Yong turned his head. He looked in the direction of the muffled sound. Was it a truck with a flat tyre?

No one else seemed to feel anything.

'Boom...'

A second muffled sound came.

This time, it was louder than the previous sound. It was somewhat shocking.

Zhang Yong frowned.

This was the sound of an explosion. It wasn't the sound of a flat tyre.

The people around him also reacted.

Except for Yang Lichu, everyone else was a professional. They were very sensitive to the sound of an explosion.

An explosion with such a shock indicated that the distance would not be very far. It could be about 500 metres. The power of the explosion was more than ten explosive packages.

Strange...

Where did something go wrong?

"Boom...'

In the midst of his confusion, a third explosion sounded.

This time, the sound of the explosion was clearer. It was also more shocking. At the same time, black smoke began to rise in the distance.

There was also a slight tremor on the ground. Others nearby also felt it.

A few patrolmen hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the explosion.

'What is that place?'

'It seems to be a fertilizer factory.'

'Fertilizer?'

'Yes. This is what I saw in the documents. The Germans helped build it.'

'Really?'

Zhang Yong looked at the black smoke in the distance. He felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that the fertiliser factory exploded because of improper operation? And there were continuous explosions? The consequences of the last explosion could be very serious.

Such a violent explosion was enough to overturn the entire factory building.

If there were machines, they would also be smashed.

His first thought was that it was sabotage by Japanese spies. But then he thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

What would Japanese spies do by bombing a fertiliser factory? Were they trying to monopolise the production of fertiliser?

Fortunately, there were no more explosions afterwards.

Gu Bafeng also returned.

'Was it the fertilizer factory that exploded?' Zhang Yong pointed at the place where the black smoke was rising.

'It was the fertilizer factory,' Gu Bafeng said after looking at it for a while. 'That location is indeed the newly built fertilizer factory. Strange, why would the fertilizer factory explode?'

Zhang Yong didn't say anything. This matter was not his responsibility.

His current task was to hurry to Hangzhou. Go to the Jiabiao Airport. All the Japanese spies that could be found were eliminated.

He didn't have time to get rid of the Japanese spies inside and outside the train station.

'Let's go!'

The group quickly got on the train.

The train started moving.

On the train, Zhang Yong also discovered several Japanese spies. None of them were dealt with.

Business is important.

The train arrived at Shanghai Railway Station without incident.

A transfer was needed.

As a result, as soon as they got off the train, they saw a group of soldiers. And there were two officers.

They were all acquaintances. One was Liang Wenxiu. The other was Guo Qiyun. Haha, they were all under the command of Xuan Tiewu.

It seems that Commander Xuan has very good information and sent someone to Shanghai to intercept him so quickly.

Zhang Yong also noticed a detail. The last time he saw Liang Wenxiu, he was a lieutenant colonel. Now he is a colonel. But Guo Qiyun is still a captain.

'Captain Zhang!'

'Lieutenant Liang.'

'Captain Zhang.'

'Captain Guo!'

Zhang Yong greeted the two men.

His greeting to Liang Wenxiu was completely perfunctory. Both sides understood that they were putting on an act.

Seeing Guo Qiyun, Zhang Yong was a little happy. Although they had the same name, Guo Qiyun's combat effectiveness was indeed quite good.

Put it this way, if there was danger, Zhang Yong felt that Guo Qiyun could still be relied upon.

Guo Qiyun's marksmanship and martial arts skills were quite outstanding.

He was previously impressed by the fact that he had shot down a Japanese soldier with one shot.

'Lieutenant Liang, why are you here?' Zhang Yong asked knowingly.

'We have come to greet Captain Zhang on the Commander's orders,' Liang Wenxiu replied enthusiastically.

'There's no need. Really. I don't want to trouble you both.'

'The Commander said that Captain Zhang's presence honours our Hangzhou garrison headquarters. It's the least we can do.'

'In that case, the Commander is being a bit formal.'

'Not at all, Captain Zhang. Please. I have arranged a banquet to welcome you home.'

'Thank you. But I'm busy with work...'

'Captain Zhang, please.'

Liang Wenxiu raised his tone.

Zhang Yong: ...

I understand.

I have to go even if I don't want to.

Liang Wenxiu, who was treating the dinner, was actually Xuan Tiewu behind the scenes. This Commander Xuan had ulterior motives!

Knowing that he was short on time and had a heavy workload, he deliberately sent someone to block him in Shanghai. He wouldn't let him change trains immediately to go to Hangzhou. Haha. That's not very decent.

Fine. I'll go to the banquet. After it's over, I'll report back to my wife.

Of course, I'll do it through Song Ziyu's mouth.

No one else can report back to my wife. But Song Ziyu can, and it'll be very effective.

After all, he's a member of the Song family. A few casual complaints will make my wife think twice. Xuan Tiewu will have a lot to answer for in the future.

'This, the dinner, you, Lieutenant Liang, should pay for it...' Zhang Yong asked seriously.

'Puff...' Yang Lichu suddenly felt like laughing.

Then she realised that this was inappropriate. Hurriedly, she covered her mouth.

In the end, she couldn't hold back. Hurriedly, she backed away.

Zhang Yong: ...

No. Is your sense of humour that low?

I didn't even tell a joke. What are you laughing at? Really. I was asking very seriously.

In case we get full and then you say you didn't bring any money. Then I...

Wouldn't that be a big loss?

@#¥%...

Therefore, you must ask in advance.

Zhang Yong would never be such an idiot.

Since Xuan Tiewu doesn't like him, he won't spend a single penny on him.

Instead, he will take as much of Xuan Tiewu's money as he can.

He won't pay Xuan Tiewu a single penny from the income he obtained by capturing the Japanese spy in Hangzhou.

He would rather feed it to the dogs!

'Of course,' Liang Wenxiu replied with a stern face.

He didn't like Zhang Yong.

Just as Zhang Yong didn't like him.

The reason? Simple. Because Xuan Tiewu didn't like Zhang Yong. He was Xuan Tiewu's deputy, so of course he didn't like him either.

He had been ordered to come this time to deliberately cause some trouble for Zhang Yong.

Waste some of his time. Create some obstacles for his investigation. So as not to let Zhang Yong's 'tail go up to the sky'.

These were Xuan Tiewu's exact words.

This is because Zhang Yong had already explicitly rejected his offer.

Since Zhang Yong was determined to follow Dai down the dark path to the end, Xuan Tiewu naturally would not hold back.

He would hit when he should,

and pressure when he should.

In Jinling and Shanghai, Xuan Tiewu did not have enough power. But in Hangzhou, he, Xuan Tiewu, was the one in charge. Dai personally coming here would not work.

Zhang Yong knew this in his heart.

Hangzhou was definitely not a safe place.

He was a little lamb, unable to lift a finger or carry a load. Arriving in Hangzhou was like entering a bandit's lair.

Or perhaps a goddess entering a goblin's cave...

In short, it was dangerous.

But he had to go. After all, he had to curry favour with that lady.

In the future, many of his plans would have to be carried out in the name of the Air Force. For example, the big thunderstorm plan that he had made up...

Boss Dai was not even qualified to participate in this plan.

'So where are we going to eat? I like something a bit more upmarket, nothing from a street stall...'

'Yanyang South.'

'Huh? That's good. That's good. Xuan Zhiwei is really rich. I like it.'

'Please!'

'Please!'

Zhang Yong and Liang Wenxu went along with the pretence.

Yang Lichu made excuses, saying she had no appetite. She didn't want to go. In fact, she didn't want to see it.

Zhang Ping didn't care. It was none of his business if the immortals were fighting.

Even if Xuan Tiewu was behaving outrageously again, he would not dare offend the Department of Air and Space. However, Zhang Yong and Xuan Tiewu had a personal grudge, and he did not want to get involved. So he did not go either.

Guo Qiyun said that he had to be on duty at the train station. He did not want to go either.

Gu Bafeng was also extremely astute. He did not want to get involved in the feud between the two sides either, and said that he had to take the military police to the barracks to settle in.

The result was...

Only Zhang Yong and Liang Wenxiu went.

Yan Jiang is quite a distance from the train station. You need a car to get there.

However, after Zhang Yong and the others arrived at the train station, the car that was supposed to take them there went back without them. No car.

'Take my car.'

'Lieutenant Liang, why don't we go somewhere else?'

'I've already booked a table.'

'I'm sorry, I'm scared. I've changed my mind. I don't want to go now.'

'You...'

Liang Wenxiu was about to say something, but then stopped.

Zhang Yong changed the subject lightly. He didn't know how to respond.

The other person seemed very lazy. It didn't seem to have any effect when you sarcastically teased him.

'So where do you think is a good place to go?'

'Baixiangju.'

'Where is it?'

'Look. It's right next to here.'

Zhang Yong pointed outside the train station. It was in the same direction as the fertiliser factory that had exploded.

Liang Wenxiu looked at it and thought it was fine.

After all, the idea was to buy Zhang Yong some time, so that he couldn't go to Hangzhou so quickly. It didn't matter where the meal was.

'Then, let's go to Baishangju. Please.'

'Wait a minute.'

'What are you going to do now?'

'Nothing. I'll catch some Japanese spies and get some money for dinner.'

'What?'

'Lieutenant Liang, although you are treating, what if we have a fight during the meal and you just walk away, leaving me there with the waiter demanding payment? I don't have any money, so what do I do?'

'You...'

'So, wait a minute. I'll be right back.'

Zhang Yong said this and left.

Liang Wenxiu: ...

Bastard. What the hell are you trying to say?

I haven't even given you a hard time yet, and you start talking nonsense? I'll fix you!

Don't think that just because this is Shanghai, I can't fix you.

Shanghai is not the exclusive territory of your secret service, no, it's now the Second Division of the Military Intelligence Agency.

However, Zhang Yong had already walked away. He didn't even turn his head.

He didn't bother arguing with the other person.

Since the other person wanted to trip him up, so be it!

It was just as well. There were so many Japanese spies on the streets of Shanghai, and so many acquaintances, that he seized the opportunity to say hello to each one and make a quick profit.

'Qin Lishan!'

'Here!'

'Get ready to make an arrest!'

'Yes!'

Qin Lishan hurriedly agreed.

He was a little rough as a squad leader. He wasn't very good at thinking.

The most suitable thing to do was this kind of work in front of him. They would arrest whoever Zhang Yong said to arrest. If they couldn't arrest them, it would be Qin Lishan's responsibility.

Zhang Yong had his sights set on a cigarette vendor who was loitering inside the train station.

The cigarette vendor had seen Zhang Yong earlier as well. But he didn't react. He continued to loiter around.

Until...

'Don't run!'

Zhang Yong shouted at the cigarette vendor.

The cigarette vendor then reacted, realising that his identity had been exposed.

Without thinking, he immediately dropped the cigarette rack in his arms and turned to run. He even ran towards a crowded area.

Qin Lishan and the others immediately gave chase.

The cigarette vendor was obviously familiar with the surrounding terrain, and in no time at all, he disappeared.

'Come back!'

'Come back!'

Zhang Yong stopped Qin Lishan and the others.

Don't chase. It's not worth it. There's no profit in these Japanese spies. Save them for later.

We need to catch some with real profit now.

'Catching Japanese spies?'

'Catching Japanese spies?'

Gu Bafeng appeared out of nowhere. He was full of energy.

He was about to leave with the military police. But then he heard the sound of pursuit behind him. Immediately, he led the troops back.

Catching Japanese spies, he must also have a share! Absolutely can't miss this!

"Yes, catching Japanese spies.'

'Catching who?'

'The guy outside in black, holding the fortune-telling banner.'

'Okay, I'll catch him! I'll do it!'

Gu Baofeng couldn't wait. Immediately, he locked onto his target. Then he led the troops to pounce.

The Japanese spy, holding the fortune-telling banner, saw a group of soldiers coming at them with murderous intent and immediately realised that he had been exposed. He turned around and ran.

He left everything behind: the fortune-telling banner, the eight trigrams, the compass and everything else.

'After them!'

'After them!'

Gu Bafeng shouted.

Finally, he could get some exercise. Damn it, I'm going to catch that spy.

'What...'

'What is this...'

Yang Lichu and Zhang Ping also returned.

The two of them looked at each other. For a moment, they couldn't figure out the situation.

Just now, they were still arguing about going to dinner. Why had the situation suddenly changed so drastically, and they were now chasing a Japanese spy?

They couldn't keep up...

Their thoughts couldn't keep up...

'Guo Qiyun!'

'Here!'

Zhang Yong suddenly shouted.

Guo Qiyun also responded reflexively. The two of them seemed to have quite the tacit understanding.

'Draw your guns!'

'Follow me!'

'Yes!'

Guo Qiyun hastily draws his gun.

At the same time, he orders the soldiers he brought with him to load all their bullets.

There's work to do!

They're arresting Japanese spies!

He hurriedly follows Zhang Yong.

He sees Zhang Yong charging forward, but he doesn't know which target to aim at.

Everyone around him is looking at him in shock, nervous and at a loss. They are clearly completely confused by the scene before them.

'Who are we going to arrest...'

'I don't know...'

Zhang Ping and Yang Lifang could only watch the spectacle.

It felt like Zhang Yong was charging headlong. But there was no target! There didn't seem to be anyone in front of him...

Suddenly, Zhang Yong took a big step forward and violently knocked over a man next to him.

The man was well-dressed and was carrying a suitcase.

Unprepared, the man was knocked over and the suitcase fell out of his hands. Zhang Yong then grabbed it. He quickly got away.

Yang Lichu: ?

Robbery?

Zhang Yong, this is illegal...

'Catch him!'

Then I heard Zhang Yong point at the other person.

Qin Lishan and the others immediately pounced on him and held him down as he tried to get up.

Guo Qiyun also brought someone up to help.

'Baka!'

'Baka!'

The target in the suit suddenly cursed angrily.

He was still struggling desperately. It seemed that he had quite a lot of strength. None of the men were able to hold him down immediately.

Suddenly, a pistol was taken out of his bosom.

Yang Lichu: ...

Danger!

This one is really a Japanese spy!

He has a gun on him! And probably a bomb too! What if...

Fortunately, Zhang Yong had already taken cover.

Zhang Yong of course knew that the target had a gun on him. That's why he took the approach of a surprise attack.

Pretending not to have noticed the other person at all, he walked past them and then suddenly launched an attack. The target was the other person's suitcase. The suitcase contained gold!

"Baka!'

'Ah...'

Finally, the target was subdued.

No matter how tough this Japanese spy was, he couldn't stand up to the crowd.

After Guo Qiyun came to help, the Japanese spy immediately lost the ability to resist. His hands were reversed. A rag was stuffed into his mouth.

The whole movement was like flowing water, which showed that Guo Qiyun had also learned.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese spy was tied up in all kinds of ways.

No matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.

However, the Japanese spy's eyes were still very fierce. It was as if he could spit fire.

He stared at Zhang Yong with murderous intent. It was as if he wanted to melt Zhang Yong with his angry gaze. His eyes seemed about to pop out of his head.

He was not willing to accept this!

He was not willing at all!

He never expected that he would be caught just because he happened to pass by.

Really, he was just passing by.

He was just passing by with the funds. He was not going to stay at all.

But now, it was not his decision.

Over there, Zhang Yong was also eagerly trying to pry open the Japanese spy's suitcase.
