Chapter 703: That grandson!

Approach quietly and observe.

Found the target gathered inside a hotel.

Did not see any hotel employees. Maybe they have been killed. Or expelled.

A bit troublesome.

Mainly because there are a lot of people on the other side. There are twelve of them.

Although Zhang Yong is surrounded by more than 50 people. They are also heavily armed. However, it is not easy to resolve the battle.

In a melee, there may be considerable casualties. He can't bear that.

If they are really all tough criminals, their marksmanship must be very good. Even if they only fire one shot, one person may die.

It's not cost-effective.

Moreover, his subordinates are not as agile. Their reactions may not be as quick.

After all, they stayed up late last night. They haven't had any rest yet.

It was decided to replace him. Bring in new forces.

Tell Guo Hai to go back with his men. Replace them with Qin Lishan and his men.

Qin Lishan and his men are veterans. They have received training from the secret service of the Restoration Society. They are more suitable for a hard approach.

The team withdrew.

Zhang Yong was left alone.

The map showed that there was no danger around. It would be fine for a short period of time.

He just needed to hide inside a house, be quiet, and there was no danger of him being found.

If there really is, he can also hide from it.

However...

In the end, he decided to go out and take a look.

It shouldn't be a problem to drive around by himself, right? As long as he doesn't show his face.

No matter how capable the Japanese invaders are, they can't possibly guess which car he is in.

As for how to get the car...

It's parked by the roadside. Let's 'borrow' it for now.

Just do it.

He found a very ordinary car. Technical lock picking. Successfully done.

Car anti-theft technology these days is almost non-existent. With the lock picking skills he picked up during his short stint at the Fuxing Society Secret Service, he is more than capable.

Start the engine.

Start the car.

Slowly drive around.

A small red dot enters the map. Check. Not marked. Pass.

Sporadic weapons symbols are visible. Pass.

Sporadic gold symbols are visible. Pass.

His current task is to drive around. Unless there is a very conspicuous target, he will not get out of the car.

Another red dot is visible. Check. Not marked. Pass.

Another red dot is visible...

Hey, there are quite a lot of Japanese spies.

I really didn't expect there to be so many in Hangzhou.

Sooner or later, I'll have to wipe them all out...

Suddenly, a yellow dot is visible. There are many white dots around it. All the white dots have weapons symbols.

A thought occurs to him.

What's going on?

There are so many armed men around the yellow dot?

Zhang Yong's first reaction was that the yellow dot was surrounded. It could be arrested at any time. So he approached quietly.

Entered the observation position. Parked the car. Observed from the car with binoculars.

The small yellow dot was inside a small hotel.

Outside the small hotel, there were people cruising.

It was an old acquaintance. It was all from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. I don't know. But you can tell at a glance.

If you were to describe the difference in appearance between agents from the Fuxing Society's Special Branch and the Party Affairs Department, it would be hard to describe in words. However, an expert would be able to tell the difference.

It doesn't look like they're making an arrest. It looks more like they've already arrested someone and are keeping watch?

Oh, they've been arrested...

The little yellow dot inside should be the Red Party member who's been arrested.

I wonder who it is. I wonder if they've confessed. If they've betrayed the party and confessed, there will be another round of bloodshed among the Red Party.

Sigh...

Drive away.

He can't do anything about this.

He's all alone now. It's hard enough to save himself. How can he save others?

There are more than ten heavily armed men from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Even if he manages to pull the three squads up, he can't storm the building.

The casualties would be too high. It's not cost-effective. And it's not certain that he can save anyone.

If things go wrong, the enemy will definitely kill the hostages.

Continue sweeping the streets.

Found another red dot. No symbol. Leave.

And then another red dot...

I'm numb.

I'm blind. As long as there's no symbol, I don't care.

Suddenly...

I see another yellow dot. There are also many white dots around it. There's also a weapon symbol.

I've entered the observation range. I find that it's also inside a small hotel with no name. There are also people from the Party Investigation Department monitoring the area.

It seems that this is another Red Party member who has been arrested. He is being held in solitary confinement.

Drive away.

Continue sweeping the streets.

Successively found some red dots. But never found any yellow dots again.

It seems that in Hangzhou, there are far more Japanese spies than Red Party members.

Unfortunately, after going around in circles, they still haven't found the marked Japanese sniper.

Where on earth could he be hiding? Could it be that he's not in the main urban area?

Zhang Yong has just been driving in circles in the main urban area.

If they were to continue driving in circles, there would be no time left.

Drive back to the original location.

Park the car. Turn off the engine. Leave five yuan. It's considered a loan fee.

Just got off the car. Suddenly saw someone coming from afar. It was a group of police officers. The leader was none other than Yang Zhi, the 'Green-Faced Beast'.

Something feels wrong...

Hurry up and check the map.

Found that Yang Zhi is not marked with a yellow dot. It's a normal white dot.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Yang Zhi is not a member of the Red Party?

Maybe I misunderstood?

He hid quietly. He made sure Yang Zhi didn't see him.

After Yang Zhi had led the patrol past, Zhang Yongcai found an empty house and hid there.

Guo Hai and the others went back, and it wasn't so fast to get Qin Lishan to come over.

Looking at the time, they might have to wait another half hour.

So they remained silent and motionless. They waited for Qin Lishan and the others to arrive before making any plans.

Suddenly, a yellow dot appeared.

The yellow dot is also marked. Check. It turns out to be Li Jingqian.

Well, is the Red Party going to have a meeting? Seems to be very active recently?

Was it because it lost so much before, so now it's anxious to re-establish the underground network?

Shouldn't Li Jingqian have gone back to Jinling? The radio was given to her.

Watching silently.

Discovered that Li Jingqian was actually coming towards him.

If...

No ifs. She happened to pass in front of the door of the house where he was hiding.

Strange, where is she going?

There don't seem to be any yellow dots in the vicinity. Which means there are no Red Party members.

Doubtful...

Should I...

In the end, he decided he should.

As soon as Li Jingqian reached the door, he pushed it open.

'It's me!'

Zhang Yong whispered.

Li Jingqian turned her head. She realised it was him. She was both surprised and happy.

'It's you?'

'Come in.'

'Okay.'

Li Jingqian didn't hesitate.

She knew Zhang Yong would not harm her. Otherwise, she would have already been dead.

'Why are you here?'

'It seems I should be asking you that. I thought you had gone to Jinling?'

'No.'

'Why not?'

'The plan changed. The radio station was temporarily left in Hangzhou. It was handed over to the comrades in Hangzhou to use. Their radios were all destroyed. The operators all died.'

'Was the loss great?'

'Very great.'

'Alas...'

Zhang Yong let out a silent sigh.

Xu Enzeng was still capable. That was why he had the strong support of the Chen brothers.

Ye Xiufeng was a classmate of Chen Guofu and the two were very close. However, he still could not replace Xu Enzeng's position. It can be seen that Xu Enzeng was indeed very strong at catching the Red Party. The Red Party was indeed in danger when it encountered such an opponent. Every time Xu Enzeng came to Hangzhou, the underground party in Hangzhou would suffer a blow.

The radios were all destroyed. All the radio operators were sacrificed. The losses were indeed heavy.

Fortunately, the Red Party is extremely resilient. It is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. It is not afraid of danger and sacrifice. It is unyielding. It starts again from the beginning.

The glory of the Republic...

I hope it shines on them...

'There's something...'

'What?'

'I noticed something strange at the train station yesterday...'

Zhang Yong briefly repeated it.

Although he had already told the boss of the bakery, it was hard to say whether the other party would believe him.

In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, he had to warn Li Jingqian. The more people who knew, the more vigilant everyone would be, and the safer they would be.

'These are the three people,' Zhang Yong took out the information he had previously recorded.

This information could not be given to the boss of the bakery.

After all, the two had never crossed paths.

It could only be given to Li Jingqian.

Or perhaps to Lao Bai.

'Oh no...'

'What is it?'

'One of them is a lesbian. She has the emergency communication code.'

'What do you mean?'

'It's an emergency call. The password is memorised. Only she knows it. If she dies, the emergency channel is closed.'

'Is it serious?'

'It could cause the entire organisation to lose contact with its superiors.'

'Is it that serious?'

'There may be a backup contact. I wouldn't know.'

'What's her name?'

'Zhou Qin.'

'Good.'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

According to the information provided by the guy pretending to be from the Red Party, the people who had been arrested were being held by the Party Affairs Investigation Department itself.

In other words, they were not at the Military Police Command Headquarters or the Police Command Headquarters.

However, the guy didn't know the exact address.

This was normal.

Only a very small number of people would know the location of the so-called safe house.

So the question was, what if they found this Zhou Qin?

"Will she turn traitor?'

'No.'

'Are you sure?'

'No.'

Li Jingqian answered with certainty.

Zhang Yongyu was even more convinced.

Ordinary people definitely couldn't withstand enemy torture. But some people could.

The bones of a very few Japanese spies were also very hard. They would never confess. Some members of the Red Party could also do it. Besides, the enemy also knew her value and would not easily torture her.

The result of torture was basically death. 99% chance. Once it was used, there was no turning back.

Once the iron or whatever is used, the doctor is just putting on a show. In spy dramas, when the doctor is called in after the iron is used, that's idealised.

In fact, according to Zhang Yong's own observations, once the iron is used, the person is dead. There is no hope.

Even the Special Branch of the Restoration Society rarely used the iron.

Unless there was no other way.

Otherwise, if the person dies, it's useless.

Thinking about the yellow spots in those two small hotels, could they be them?

Probably.

But it's also possible that they're not.

After a little analysis, Zhang Yong didn't come to any conclusions.

The map indicated that Qin Lishan and the others were here.

'You go ahead.'

'What are you going to do?'

'Catch the Japanese spies.'

'Then be careful.'

'You should be careful.'

'I'm leaving.'

Li Jingqian hurriedly left.

Zhang Yong did not ask her what she had come for or where she was going.

These were all secrets of the Red Party. If someone could tell him, they would naturally do so. If they could not, it was useless to ask.

'Team leader!'

'You're here? Good.'

Soon, Qin Lishan and the others appeared.

There were three teams, fifty people in total. The other two team leaders were Chen Hai and Lu Hai.

'Team leader, Miss Yang asked you to call her back.'

'Miss Yang?'

'That's Director Yang. She told us to call her Miss Yang. She said she's no longer the director. You're the director of Intelligence Division 3.'

'Understood,'

Zhang Yong nodded.

So it was Yang Lichu! And Miss Yang!

But she really is a girl. It's not wrong to call her that. Just a little upset?

Really. It wasn't me who removed you from your post. I have no problem with you being the head of Intelligence Section 3! You'll be in charge of passing on orders and writing reports, and I'll be in charge of the actual operations. It'll be like a husband-and-wife team. I don't know how comfortable that will be. Besides, your position as deputy head of the Technical Department hasn't been removed either!

Go find the phone. Call back to Jianqiao Air Base. Find Yang Lichu.

Get straight to the point.

Go straight for the jugular.

'Miss Yang, what is it?'

'You want to die. That's what you're calling me. It's so unpleasant to hear.'

'Director Yang, what is it?'

'Director Zhang, I'm officially informing you that after careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation by the Air Force Department, it has been decided that you will be appointed as Director of the Air Force Intelligence Department. You will take up the post soon. I have the appointment letter here. It was personally signed by Minister Zhou. When will you come back to collect it?'

'I don't have time for the time being.'

'It seems that Director Zhang is very busy, with a million things to do...'

'I was shot last night. A chunk of flesh was taken from the back of my shoulder. I'm going to hunt down that bastard and tear him apart...'

'Did you go to the hospital?'

Yang Lichu was suddenly worried.

She did have a little temper. She felt like a little tail.

Every time, she had to clean up after Zhang Yong.

And then she watched as this guy soared through the ranks like a rocket...

Every time, she watched Zhang Yong achieve various great feats. And get rich.

Hmph, not convinced.

But when I heard that Zhang Yong had been injured, I immediately got nervous.

'No.'

'You can't not go to the hospital. What if the wound becomes infected?'

'It's just a superficial wound...'

'A superficial wound is still very serious. Don't be stubborn. What if it becomes infected...'

'It really is just a superficial wound!'

Zhang Yong had to emphasise again. Yang seemed genuinely worried.

If he didn't agree to go to the hospital, she would probably come herself.

Sure enough, Yang Lichi said in an angry tone, 'You come back as soon as possible. I'll arrange for someone to examine you.'

'There's a doctor at the base?'

'Nonsense. Of course there's a doctor. A foreign doctor, at that.'

'Oh. Okay.'

Zhang Yong did not refuse. Otherwise, Yang Lichi would never stop.

Besides, it felt pretty good to be cared for. However, there was a prerequisite, and that was to catch that Japanese sniper.

Damn it...

Sniping at me.

If I catch you, I'll definitely...

Suddenly, a red dot appeared.

The red dot was labelled. Zhang Yong casually checked it out. A sudden chill ran through his body.

That son of a bitch!

No. It's the Japanese sniper!

It actually appeared.

It was really hard to find, but it came without any effort.

Ahhh...

Ahhh...

It actually appeared. It actually appeared in front of him!

"I'll go catch the guy!'

Zhang Yong hung up the phone with a pop.

On the other end of the line, Yang Lichu: ???

This bastard!

I can't help but worry.

He's really risking his life!

He's been injured again.

Last time, he was shot in Tianjin. This time, he was shot again in Hangzhou.

If...

Alas...

'Follow me!'

'Hurry!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand urgently.

He led the team forward quickly.

Soon, the target appeared in his field of vision.
