Chapter 694: Just as it started, the boss was killed?

Zhang Yong had actually discovered the bandit a long time ago.

The bandit was about eighty meters away from him. Hiding between two houses.

If Zhang Yong pulled Liang Wenxiu's hand, Liang Wenxiu would definitely be fine. However, Zhang Yong didn't move at all.

Pull him? Haha. Don't be ridiculous. He's a man who holds a grudge.

What's that saying about a magnanimous man who overlooks the faults of a petty person? That doesn't exist in Zhang Yong's world. He's no magnanimous man. And he doesn't want to be.

He'll repay kindness in the next life. Not in this one.

Then, the bandit fired.

The result was that Liang Wenxiu was injured. He was shot in the shoulder.

Eighty meters in a straight line. The bandit was using a revolver. His marksmanship was actually quite good.

After all, a revolver that can hit a target 80 metres away is considered top-notch.

Unfortunately, it missed the head.

Otherwise...

'Lieutenant Liang, you're hurt,' Zhang Yong pretended to be surprised.

'You...' Liang Wenxi gasped. He wanted to speak, but found that his shoulder hurt terribly.

The bullet seemed to have hit his shoulder blade. It might have shattered.

This was very troublesome.

The worst thing is if the bullet is deformed or broken.

This can lead to serious wound infections. It's very difficult to deal with. The consequences are worrying.

Thinking about the dire consequences, Liang Wenxiu had no heart to continue talking to Zhang Yong. He hurriedly asked someone to help him and left.

'It's okay, Lieutenant Liang. You survived a great calamity, so there must be blessings in the future.'

'Three million can save you,'

Zhang Yong shouted from behind, seemingly trying to comfort the other man.

Lao Bai and Yang Zhi shook their heads.

This guy. Really. Would you mind your tongue?

However, Zhang Yong was just like that. He didn't want to change either. Besides, he didn't feel that he was in the wrong.

He would never look Liang Wenxiu in the eye.

His position meant that he was an enemy of Xuan Tiewu. And Liang Wenxiu.

Kind-hearted and soft-spoken? Don't make me laugh. Lao Bai is just immature. And that Yang Zhi. When I meet Ke Gong again, I'll give you both a good scolding...

Pull yourself together.

Keep a close eye on the whereabouts of that bandit.

In theory, it's quite a long way. Over 80 metres. You'll never catch him.

But maybe it's fate. The bandit realises that Liang Wenxiu has gone. So he quietly crawls back out.

He didn't see Zhang Yong and the others, who had been hiding behind the wall.

Urban alley warfare. The terrain is complicated. The bandit thought that the safest place was the most dangerous place. So he crept over.

'Tianqi!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand behind him.

Tianqi also came out of those mysterious coffin shops.

Zhang Yong didn't know his real name or what he did before. But he trusted Shi Bingdao.

If he really was a bandit, Shi Bingdao would not have introduced him.

Most likely, he is someone like Zhuo Yungui. Capable. But he is a mess. Not suited to this world.

But following him, Zhang Yong, is completely suited.

Just need to bury one's head and work. Do whatever Zhang Yong tells him to do.

'Here!'

Tian Qi comes quietly.

Zhang Yong points him in the right direction.

The place where the habitual criminal is likely to appear, it is not good to ambush in a crowd. It can only be done by one person.

The emphasis is on speed. It requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Pointing out where Tian Qi should ambush.

Wait patiently.

Sure enough, the target appeared.

'Da da da...'

'Da da da...'

Tianqi immediately pulled the trigger.

The body of the bandit fell randomly under the broken wall. It didn't move.

There was no struggle.

It just fell completely.

The map showed that the white dot disappeared.

It was done.

It was that simple.

In this game of hide-and-seek, whoever spots the enemy first can finish them off first.

The ambushed party is almost unable to fight back.

The kind of person who can get shot full of holes and still raise their gun to fight back. Haha. You could only say they were superhuman.

The Japanese invaders on the battlefield were all very tough. Many people were indeed fearless. They even deliberately died. However, the 11.43 mm bullet is the cure for all kinds of defiance.

Another weapon that can deal with any defiance is the Browning M2HB heavy machine gun with a 12.7 mm calibre. Unfortunately, it is too bulky to carry and move around.

Otherwise, Zhang Yong would definitely have arranged for his men to carry the M2 heavy machine gun and two six-barrel Gatling guns. The kind that shoots blue fire would be best. That would be safe.

Rambling thoughts.

Recover thoughts.

Observe the situation. No abnormalities found. Go over to the corpse.

I feel a stack of banknotes. And a big gold bar. It seems that this is another high-level bandit.

Wave your hand.

Call Lao Bai and Yang Zhi over to identify it.

'It's Mao Shiba.'

'Who?'

'Mao Shiba. The bandit.'

'Ah...'

Zhang Yong is about to speak but stops.

So there really is a Mao Shiba, it's not a novel.

Since the police station has his information, it means this guy should be well-known.

Luckily, he was killed by me in advance. Otherwise...

'He was a very good shot.'

'There's a legend...'

'What legend?'

'Back then, the 19th Route Army retreated from Shanghai and passed through Hangzhou, where they were ambushed repeatedly. Many people died. It was suspected that this Mao Shiba was the one who did it. The 19th Route Army also sent experts to hunt him down. But they never succeeded.'

'Oh?'

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.

Mao Shiba? He actually assassinated the anti-Japanese hero of the 19th Route Army?

Damn. He has committed countless crimes!

It's a good thing this guy got off lightly. Otherwise, he would definitely have been left to die without a burial.

Most likely, the three Japanese spies encouraged him.

The 19th Route Army had inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese invaders in Shanghai, so the Japanese invaders were of course harbouring a grudge. So they encouraged Mao Shiba to come forward and assassinate the officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army.

Pull out the machine pistol.

'Pop, pop!'

'Pop, pop!'

Cover Mao Shiba's face with a hail of gunfire.

until they had used up all the bullets.

Damn, even in death, they had to shoot him.

'Get some manure.'

'What?'

Everyone around him was taken aback.

Manure? What for? To throw at the bandits?

It felt a bit...

'Didn't you hear?' Zhang Yong raised his voice.

'Yes,' the others hurriedly agreed. Then they went to get the manure. They really found some.

They splashed it all over the bodies of the bandits.

This is called that...

It's missing the black donkey hoof.

So that even after you die, you can't be reborn. You'll be stuck in hell forever.

What? It's not working? Never mind. Just do it.

Continue to look for the other gangsters.

Suddenly, there's gunfire again nearby. A few shots.

The map shows that it seems like two more gangsters are sneaking over here.

So he waves his hand, waiting for them.

Set up the ambush.

The Thompson submachine gun is ready for action.

Soon after, the two robbers appear at the same time. Immediately, they are hit by a storm of bullets.

After the gunfire, both robbers are riddled with bullets.

Zhang Yong goes up to feel the bodies.

Lao Bai and Yang Zhi exchange glances.

Both of them feel that something is not right. Could Zhang Yong really have foreseen the future?

How could he have ambushed the enemy so accurately?

It was a one-shot kill!

He ambushed his target right in front of him. He hit his target every time. The target didn't even have a chance to react.

If this were on the battlefield, commanding troops in battle, wouldn't he be like a godsend?

'Come here!'

'Identify the people!'

Zhang Yong's voice came.

The two men led the police over. Just one look and they were a little surprised.

'It seems to be the Black Ghost Twins...'

'What?'

'The Two Black Devils. They are brothers. They committed treason. They betrayed their master and killed their ancestors. They became bandits. They committed countless family massacres. They were once offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for their capture. But they were never caught. I never thought I would find them here.'

'Really?'

Zhang Yong frowned.

Indeed, the greatest heroes hide in plain sight.

This pair of 'Black Devils' are hiding in Sun Dingyuan's army.

How could the police station possibly go to the 49th Division to investigate?

They can't even get anywhere near it. Okay.

This shows that some of these miscellaneous armies really have no regard for the law. They're made up of all kinds of people.

There's Sun Dianying, Shi Yousan, and all sorts of others. Not to mention the fact that almost all of their subordinates are former bandits and ruffians. To call them armies is an insult to the word army.

Never mind, this time it'll be a good deed. Get rid of all these scum.

Although he can't deal with these tough bandits on his own, he can give pointers to others!

No matter how powerful the bandits are, they will be ambushed easily by him. And then they will die.

'There's a note...' Lao Bai suddenly said.

'Let me see.' Zhang Yong took the note and found an address on it.

No. 34 Chunlan Street...

Where is that? I don't remember!

What did the Black Ghost Duo want with this address?

Could it be that they hid their extra goods here?

He was suddenly excited.

'Do you know where it is?' Zhang Yong asked Yang Zhi.

'Yes,' Yang Zhi nodded.

He wanted to say something, but then stopped.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

'Let's go take a look,'

'Yes,'

Yang Zhi led the way.

Zhang Yong followed with the rest of the group. They went straight to Chunlan Street.

They thought they might encounter a few bandits along the way. But in fact, they didn't. They passed a few blocks. Someone checked them.

Of course, no one stopped them. The people at the checkpoint knew Yang Zhi. They were even more impressed by Zhang Yong and the others in their Zhongshan suits.

Anyone wearing a Mao suit and carrying a gun is someone they can't afford to provoke.

They arrive at Chunlan Street. They find No. 34. It's a small, exquisite Western-style building.

A woman is standing at the door.

She's wearing a pale-yellow cheongsam and looking at them quietly.

Zhang Yong: ?

What's going on? Something doesn't seem right.

The note says 34 Chunlan Street, right? Zhang Yong took out the note again.

Yes, this is the right address. But the woman in front of him obviously didn't look like an accomplice of the robbers. She had a nice aura.

'Who is she?' Zhang Yong asked in a low voice.

'She's from the Liao family. Liao Panxi's sister-in-law,' Yang Zhi answered in a low voice.

'Liao Panxi?' Zhang Yong frowned.

What a surprise.

She actually came to Liao Panxi's house?

Her sister-in-law...

Wait, that's not the Liao family! It should be considered the husband's family, right?

'Who is her husband?'

'She's not married. No husband. She believes in religion.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong turned his head and looked at the woman.

No wonder she was so beautiful. It turned out to be Liao Panxi's sister-in-law. It really is true that beauty is inherited.

From this inference, Liao Panxi's mother should also be a beautiful woman.

This family is truly blessed with natural beauty. Unfortunately, beauty is fleeting. God could not have made them so perfect.

Perhaps the damn address was the one the bandits were after? Did the bandits want to do something to Liao Panshi's sister-in-law? Did they write down the address and wait to come back and kidnap her?

Hey, what a plan. Fortunately, they were killed by me.

However, it seems that Liao Panshi's sister-in-law lives alone! There are no other white dots in the small house.

There are gold emblems. Presumably they are her jewellery. There are also weapon emblems. Presumably she uses them for self-defence.

'Who are you? Have you come here for me?'

'No.'

'It seems you have come here specifically.'

'What is your name, beautiful lady?'

'And you are...'

'Oh, I am Zhang Yong. I am from the Secret Service of the Restoration Society.'

'So...'

The beautiful lady looks a little strange.

Zhang Yong then knows that Liao Panxi must have mentioned him to her.

Haha. I wonder what Liao Pansi said about me. It seems that the beautiful woman in front of him has suddenly had a revelation. Her eyebrows are lightly furrowed again.

'We are hunting for a gangster. We got it from a gangster.'

'You can read it yourself!'

Zhang Yong goes up and hands the note to the other person.

The beautiful woman in a cheongsam takes the note. She glances at it. She nods thoughtfully.

'My name is Ai Ye.'

'What?'

'Ai Ye. Ai means wormwood, Ye means leaf. My sister is Ai Lan.'

'Oh. I remember.'

Zhang Yong nodded. Ai Ye? Ai Lan? Interesting names.

If he were Xu Zhimo, he might even write a poem or two. Something about a lonely orchid in a valley. Unfortunately, he was not. Science geeks don't understand poetry.

'Excuse me.'

Zhang Yong said goodbye. He turned to leave.

After a few steps, he turned back. He wanted to say something, but then thought better of it.

He wanted to say that it wasn't safe here and that she should go somewhere else. Then he thought that it might actually be safer if she stayed. It was more dangerous for her to run around.

Luckily, he was hanging around nearby. He could put her on his map.

If someone with a gun approached, he could ambush them in advance. Waiting for the right moment.

What a plan!

He had protected the beauty again.

And captured the bandit.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Deploy 200-300 metres away. Wait for the prey.

Sure enough, soon, another bandit appears. One person. With a gold emblem. With a weapon emblem.

Zhang Yong immediately arranges an ambush.

'Da da da...'

'Da da da...'

The submachine gun fires wildly.

The target falls on the spot. Even more fragile than a scarecrow.

From the time he appeared to the time he fell, there was a maximum of five seconds between the two. He definitely died without knowing how.

Zhang Yong rushed up to touch the corpse. He found that the only thing on the body was US dollars.

A lot of them. There was a thick stack of them. A rough count showed that there were almost 3,000.

Huh?

Who is this guy?

Why are there so many US dollars?

But there are no gold bars or anything...

Looking down, he noticed that the face was unremarkable. A very ordinary person.

Strange...

Then he noticed something unusual.

It seems that the dead bandit has disguised his face.

Oh, I see.

Disguised...

He immediately took out his dagger and forcefully slashed the bandit's face.

Sure enough, he discovered that it was not a normal human face. It seemed to be made of some special material. There was no blood when he slashed it. So he slashed harder. Hard work produces miracles.

Finally, a human skin mask was forcefully prised off by Zhang Yong with his dagger.

There was a blurred face underneath.

Something may have stuck to it, so it's hard to see.

Wave your hand behind you.

Call Lao Bai and Yang Zhi over. Identify the person.

'Sun Dingyuan!'

'He's Sun Dingyuan!'

Yang Zhi suddenly exclaimed.

Zhang Yong: ?

Huh?

No way?

This guy who got killed is Sun Dingyuan?

Oh, no!

We just started and we've already killed the boss?

No way!

Turning to Yang Zhi, 'Are you sure?'

'Yes, he is Sun Dingyuan,' Yang Zhi said calmly, 'it is him.'

Zhang Yong: ...

Shit. We killed the boss.

But the boss didn't drop any equipment. No, he didn't drop any gold.

There was only US$3,000. Where is the rest of the loot?

What? Sun Dingyuan gave it all to the others? He didn't even keep any for himself?

That's too much. Could Sun Dingyuan be that kind of person? Even Zhang Yong couldn't do that. How could Sun Dingyuan?

It must be hidden somewhere.

This guy, he wanted to escape by disguising himself. He would run out first, then come back to get it.

Even if he was caught, he could find a way to get away.

However...

He met Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong didn't want any survivors at all. He just opened fire.

Okay. Now something's gone wrong. Someone's been killed. The gold hasn't been found. It's all been for nothing.

But it's not anyone else's fault. He gave the order.

No survivors. Kill on sight.

'Is it really Sun Dingyuan?' He turned his head and looked at Yang Zhi. He still had some hope.

If it was a case of mistaken identity, that would be best...

If Sun Dingyuan was still alive, that would be best...

'Yes,' Yang Zhi's answer was concise and to the point.

Zhang Yong knew that there was no hope.

Sun Dingyuan was really dead.

He had killed the other person after just one exchange of blows.

What should he do?

Frowning...

'Miss Ai, come out!'

Zhang Yong suddenly waved his hand behind him. His voice was cold. He was a little unhappy.

It turned out that Ai Ye had followed him quietly.

Zhang Yong had of course marked such a beautiful woman. He had her movements under control.

Everyone loves beauty.

Even if it was only a fleeting encounter, she was quite eye-catching.

Zhang Yong was used to his reputation as a womaniser. It would be abnormal not to be.

Ai Ye walked out from behind the wall at the back.

She looked surprised.

She didn't know how she had been discovered.

It seemed that she had been very careful...

Zhang Yong also understood why she dared to live alone. She was actually quite bold.

She actually dared to come and watch the fun in such a dangerous situation. Did she really think that being pretty meant she could do whatever she wanted? With a slender waist, she couldn't stop a bullet...

'Who did you kill?' Ai Ye asked curiously.

'Sun Dingyuan,' Zhang Yong answered angrily. Trying hard to stabilise his emotions.

She was Liao Panxi's sister-in-law. Give her some face.

And she was a beauty...

She hasn't held him back yet.

If she does, then we'll figure out what to do with her...

'Huh? You killed Sun Dingyuan?'

'You know?'

'Everyone's talking about it outside. Haven't you heard?'

'Me?'

Zhang Yong winced.

It seemed like he hadn't heard.

Because someone had deliberately blocked him. As a result, his information was not as timely as that of others.

However, even Ai Ye knew about it, so everyone else must have known as well. They were the only ones keeping it from him. This made him very unhappy. He decided to stir up the matter.

Sun Dingyuan had been killed. But Zhang Yong decided not to report it. Not to disclose it. Pretend that nothing had happened.

Let the others continue to do their work.

Since you don't want me Zhang Yong to participate, then continue to stir up trouble...

Suddenly, the map showed that someone else had arrived.

Zhang Yong hurriedly said, 'Bury him. Don't say it's Sun Dingyuan.'

The group of people buried the body with all their might.

Soon, a large group of people arrived. It was Feng Jiliang. He was accompanied by more than 50 people.

Zhang Yong secretly cursed the other party.

These guys from the Party Affairs Investigation Department have really overstepped the mark!

In order to capture Sun Dingyuan, they actually sent out so many people. Feng Jiliang was a team leader. Jin Lin and Ye Wansheng were team captains.

Haha. No need to do any other work? That's good. No time to catch the Reds.

Ye Xiufeng is busy setting up the Joint Investigation Team.

Yang Lichu mentioned earlier that some Germans had arrived in Shanghai. He is personally organising the investigation.

Why Shanghai?

Because there are the most people from all walks of life on the Bund. There are the most intelligence dealers.

In the Far East, the Bund is the absolute centre of intelligence. All kinds of intelligence can be traded here.

Zhang Yong wanted a piece of the intelligence pie, and this was the place to do it.

'Director Feng.'

'Team Leader Zhang.'

'Director Feng, I'm honoured by your visit. What can I do for you?'

'You're too kind. I don't deserve your kindness. I heard gunshots earlier. Did you arrest Sun Dingyuan's men?'

'No. They were very cunning. They escaped.'

'Then...'

'Don't chase after a defeated enemy.'

'Understood. Excuse me.'

'Please.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Feng Jiliang then led his team away.

After making sure that the other party would not return, Zhang Yong ordered that Sun Dingyuan's body be dug up again.

It had to be carefully examined.

What if there was a clue?

Sigh...

These days, it's really hard to make a little money.

The body that had been buried had to be dug up again.

Holding one's nose, the search continued.

However...

There was nothing.

I'm depressed...

The person is dead, and so are the clues...

Could it be...

that this is all for nothing?

The defence has been breached...
