Lao Bai hurriedly left.
At this moment, the situation was very dangerous. There was no time to waste.
At that time, the underground party organisation in Hangzhou had not yet adopted the single-line contact of later generations. There were several people on the Gu Yanzhong line.
If Gu Yanzhong was arrested, betrayed, and confessed, it would lead to the exposure of more people.
One would lead to another. One would lead to another. In the end, everyone would suffer. The consequences would be unimaginable.
'Let's go!'
Zhang Yong also led his team to set off.
He could not help the organisation directly. But he could cause trouble.
He was good at that.
The trouble he caused was to the Party Affairs Investigation Department. He deliberately messed things up.
He was searching the city for Japanese spies. Whenever he encountered someone from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, he wasted their time by getting involved with them immediately.
It took time for Lao Bai to pass on the message. Zhang Yong had to buy Lao Bai some time.
Suddenly, a marker appeared.
It was Li Jingqian.
She was nearby. It looked like she was hovering?
There was a weapon marker on her. Obviously, she might be on another assassination mission.
Could it be that Gu Yanzhong has already defected? She's going to assassinate Gu Yanzhong?
I can't help but feel a little worried. Her wounds have not yet healed.
It's only been a short two or three days, and her wounds may not even have healed yet. She's actually going out on another mission?
From this, we can deduce just how serious the danger the underground party is facing is.
Xu Enzeng is Xu Enzeng after all.
Zhang Yong has so far discovered circumstances that are very unfavourable to the underground party.
What he can't see may be even more serious. Xu Enzeng may have gone to meet a traitor.
Yes, he may have secretly gone to the outskirts of the city to meet a traitor.
The traitor may have provided a list.
This is very troublesome.
It means that Xu Enzeng now has a lot of targets at his fingertips that he can arrest at any time.
With so many loopholes appearing all at once, even if the underground party does everything it can, there is no way to fix them all for the time being. Suffering a blow is inevitable.
In spy dramas, the enemy is always stupid and the revolutionaries are always clever. But in the cruel reality, the underground party is always at a disadvantage.
Every moment, a large number of revolutionaries pay a heavy price. Even precious lives are paid.
Xu Enzeng has come in person, and the danger to the underground party has never been greater.
Monitor silently.
Stay still.
Look up at the sky. The sky is gloomy. It may be going to snow.
The gloomy weather made Zhang Yong's mood even worse. He had to admit that his psychological resilience was still far from that of a true secret agent.
At the very least, he was unable to remain calm in the face of danger.
He would worry.
He would panic.
He would panic.
But for now, he had to adapt.
Even if Li Jingqian suddenly got shot in front of him, he had to pretend that he didn't know her.
Then he would quietly look for an opportunity to avenge her.
His eyes suddenly became sharp.
The map showed several weapons symbols approaching Li Jingqian quietly.
Their movements were very secretive. The walking routes were all in Li Jingqian's blind spots. Zhang Yong immediately realised that Li Jingqian was in danger.
She had indeed been exposed.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department had already determined that she was a Red.
Moreover, the secret agents had captured her exact location. A trap had been set. And then the counterattack began.
Yes, it is a trap.
Li Jingqian has received the wrong information. She was told to come here and carry out a mission.
The message may have told her that she is needed to assassinate a traitor.
But in fact, this target does not exist. She has fallen into the trap by showing up here.
It's terrifying...
The traitor may be of a higher status...
At the very least, he is qualified to give orders to Li Jingqian. Or to influence others to give orders.
Who is this guy? It's terrifying!
Perhaps even Lao Bai would fall for his trap.
What a nuisance...
Undercover work is really dangerous.
I'm really not cut out for it.
I'm more suited to the rough and tumble of the Military Intelligence. No need to think. Just grab your gun and do it.
Take a deep breath.
Get ready to work.
I'm not very intelligent. But I'm good at killing people.
Well, to be precise, commanding other people to kill. Since there are five spies, I'll kill them all.
Start giving orders.
Prepare the weapons.
'No survivors.'
'Kill them all.'
Zhang Yong's orders were very simple.
The people are dead. No matter what the Party's investigation department says, it has nothing to do with him.
If they ask again, they are spies.
'Go!'
He leads the men in person.
He needs to identify the target. Then the men below go and carry out the execution.
The first target is found.
This guy is standing behind the street corner, pretending to read the newspaper.
In this kind of weather, is he in the mood to stand on the street corner reading the newspaper? Does he really think the underground party can't see through you?
'That's him.'
'Go!'
Zhang Yong identified the target.
The two agents then pretended to be nothing, walking past from the side.
Suddenly they struck.
One held the target, while the other plunged a dagger straight into his heart.
'Umm...'
The target let out a muffled grunt. His body twisted reflexively, but he was firmly held by the person behind him, and eventually he was silent.
After the target had stopped breathing, the two agents immediately picked him up and dragged him into the alley next to them. They sat him down on the ground.
In this weather, the body would not be exposed for two or three days.
Zhang Yong silently monitored the map.
Good. One down.
With careful planning, there was still a chance to eliminate the target.
Go ahead and eliminate the second agent.
Do it the same way.
The second agent was quickly eliminated as well.
However, the remaining three agents are more troublesome. Their locations are not easy to approach.
They are all professionals. These three agents have chosen relatively safe locations. It is not easy for outsiders to get close to them. Once they get close, they will be discovered immediately.
Frown.
While thinking of a way, four weapon symbols cut across the edge of the map.
Judging from the symbols, it is a car. There are four people on it. They are all armed. The car is driving in a straight line. If it doesn't turn, it will pass right in front of Li Jingqian.
Her heart tightened.
The killer is here.
This is a killing move specifically targeting Li Jingqian.
It is almost certain that Li Jingqian has received the message to assassinate the traitor in this car.
Therefore, when this car comes to Li Jingqian's side, she will decisively shoot.
Then she will find that while she is acting, the person inside is also acting. It may even be faster than her.
In the end, she will be killed easily. And her body will be left on the street.
What should she do?
There is no other way. You have to use force.
One car, four people, it can be done. Kill them all. Then frame the Japanese spy.
'Lishan!'
'Here!'
'The Japanese spy is here, in a car. Get ready to intercept!'
'Yes.'
'Kill everyone in the car.'
'Yes.'
Qin Lishan immediately went to make the arrangements.
Zhang Yong quietly shifted position. Just in front of the car to block.
Soon, the car entered the firing range.
'Da-da-da...'
'Da-da-da...'
Thomson began to fire. The rain of bullets covered the car.
The car immediately lost control. It rushed towards the wall by the road.
'Pop!'
'Pop!'
The rifle fired.
Zhang Yong was worried that Thomson could not shoot through the car. He arranged for someone to go directly to the rifle.
Soon, the gunfire stopped.
Two agents raised their guns and searched. They opened the car door.
The four agents inside were already dead. The car was also severely damaged. There was no way to repair it.
Zhang Yong waved his hand. Let's go.
As soon as the gunshot rang, Li Jingqian would realise that something was wrong. Then she would immediately retreat.
Sure enough, after the gunshot, Li Jingqian quickly moved. The direction she took happened to be the direction of the agents Zhang Yong had killed. So, she didn't encounter any accidents on the road.
It's fine.
Zhang Yong let out a sigh of relief.
For the time being, Li Jingzhen had escaped.
Now...
let's go dig for treasure.
They arrived at the address where Jiang Guohu had confessed. They found a golden sign here.
They were happy.
This meant there was gold!
Ah, this damned Jiang Guohu, he finally gave up and told them where the gold bars were buried.
Let's do it.
Dig.
Sure enough, there were gold bars!
Although there weren't many. There were only five. And they were all small. But they were definitely gold bars!
There were also five sacks of silver dollars.
This Jiang Guohu seems to really like sacks, doesn't he?
Each sack contained around 2,000 silver dollars. Five sacks was about 10,000 silver dollars.
The sacks were resealed. They were loaded onto the truck and prepared to be taken back.
Suddenly, someone hurriedly came running. It was a military police officer. He was panting heavily.
In such cold weather, he was actually running with sweat pouring off his forehead.
'Captain Zhang, our captain sent me to tell you that the entire Special Police Headquarters is mobilised. I don't know what's going on.'
'Thank you!'
'You're welcome.'
Zhang Yong handed the other person a silver dollar.
The other person had obviously exerted himself to run here so quickly.
Indeed, the power of silver dollars is infinite. These military policemen are now very happy to do things for themselves. Gu Bafeng was the same.
He casually asked, 'How did you know we were here?'
'Our captain sent a dozen people to look for you everywhere. This time I was the first to find you.'
'Thank you!'
Zhang Yong handed the other person another handful of silver dollars.
It was the least he could do.
In the future, the military police would be more proactive. This way, he would be safer in Hangzhou.
'Thank you!'
'Thank you!'
The military police officer left happily.
Zhang Yong was thoughtful.
The Secret Service Headquarters is the usual colloquial name for the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Are these guys out in force to cause trouble for me?
Could it be that Xu Enzeng found out so quickly about the destruction of their car?
And then they want revenge?
Hmph. If they want revenge, they can have it. He's not afraid at all.
He's not scared at all if they really fight.
Then he felt something was wrong.
Things may not be as simple as they seem.
Xu Enzeng is a veteran. He wouldn't take such a risk so easily.
Xu Enzeng dared not ignore Xuan Tiewu's warning. Hangzhou was Xuan Tiewu's territory. Xuan Tiewu had an army.
Neither the Party's Investigation Department nor the Special Services Department, where Zhang Yong worked, could fight against the regular army.
In front of Xu Enzeng, Zhang Yong's Thompson submachine guns were very powerful. They had a strong deterrent effect.
However, the regular army had light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and cannons...
In the face of heavy machine guns and mortars, light weapons are nothing...
An infantry battalion can wipe them all out without a single survivor.
So...
The most terrifying consequence has occurred.
Xu Enzeng has mobilised his entire force, definitely to capture the Red Party. And to capture multiple targets at the same time.
Look up at the sky.
The sky is getting darker and darker. A snowstorm seems to be approaching.
Alas...
What a troubled time!
However, there was nothing more he could do. He hadn't even encountered anyone from the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
There was no chance of causing any trouble...
He had no choice but to lead the team back to the Huaqiao Hotel.
Suddenly, a sign appeared, it was Li Jingqian. It happened to be near the route.
Li Jingqian was hiding in the corner.
Of course she had seen Zhang Yong. She also knew that it was Zhang Yong who had saved her.
At this moment, she was a little at a loss.
This had never happened before. But now it did.
Just now, she had realised that she had been set up. There was a traitor in the organisation.
This was a very frightening thing.
She didn't know who she should trust. She didn't want to suspect others.
However, the cruel reality told her that she could not go back. All places were unsafe. She could encounter spies at any time.
Even the house that Zhang Yong had arranged for her, she could not go back to for the time being.
She didn't know if it was safe there.
Or rather, at the moment, she didn't want to be alone in that cold house. It would make her think too much. And then she would go crazy.
Right now, she was like a homeless child. Lost. Helpless. Desperate.
'Who is it?'
Zhang Yong said coldly.
Then he walked over and grabbed her. He pulled off her scarf.
'Who are you?'
'I, I...'
'What are you doing sneaking around here?'
'I, I...'
'Come back with me!'
'No...'
'Are you hurt? Tell me, who exactly are you?'
'I...'
Li Jingqian was full of fear.
The other people around her thought Zhang Yong was up to no good. Then they realised something was wrong.
This woman did have injuries.
They suddenly understood that Zhang Yong was definitely not acting without reason. He was aware that this woman was not right.
At this moment, having external injuries is a very sensitive matter.
Fortunately, it wasn't a gunshot wound. Otherwise, she would have been taken away as a suspect immediately. She might never have the chance to come back.
'Take her away!'
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
An agent immediately came up.
Li Jingqian shouted, 'Don't touch me, I'll run!'
Zhang Yong pulled her over. He walked with her while actually whispering to her.
Li Jingqian of course understood. She pretended to cooperate.
'What's going on? How many people does Xu Enzeng have under his control?'
'I don't know.'
'Don't you have an emergency plan?'
'I don't know.'
'So what do we do now?'
'I don't know.'
'How come you don't know anything?'
'I really don't know.'
'You...'
Zhang Yong suddenly realised that something was wrong.
Her voice seemed very weak. Her body was also getting softer and softer.
Oh no...
She's still very seriously injured. Her wounds haven't even healed yet.
What should I do?
There's no need to think about that.
We'll take her back to the Huaqiao Hotel immediately, then apply medicine, call a doctor, and get her treated!
He picked her up and quickened his pace.
He took her back to the hotel.
He immediately arranged a room and let her lie down.
He lifted up her undershirt and sure enough, he found that the wound had opened up. It was bleeding profusely.
He felt ashamed.
It seemed like it was all his fault. His suturing skills were terrible.
If it had been a trained surgeon, the wound would not have opened up so easily. The problem was, he wasn't.
He had not received any professional training.
He had roughly stitched the wound together by himself. At the time, he had thought that as long as Li Jingqian did not go out and move around, she should be fine. With enough time, the wound would definitely heal. He had not expected that she would encounter so many setbacks.
When she realised that something was wrong and evacuated, she must have walked quickly. Inevitably, she tore the wound open.
There were two options in the current situation.
Either, re-stitch the wound.
Or, lie quietly and never move again.
Which would she choose?
"I'm tired...'
'Go to sleep...'
Zhang Yong said slowly and reassuringly.
She was indeed tired. Tired in body and tired in heart. She could no longer hold on.
In that case, just go to sleep without worry.
No matter how fierce the storm outside, it could not enter the Huaqiao Hotel.
He could absolutely guarantee that.
