Chapter 714: You say or you don't say, you say or you don't say!

In fact, just now...

Zhang Yong really wanted to go in.

Then he shook the hand of this big guy and said, 'You've worked hard...'

Then he shook the hand of another big guy and said, 'Do a good job...'

Shaking hands one by one.

Saying hello one by one.

Finally, there was a big group photo...

It was hilarious.

You dogged secret agent of the Restoration Society, you're acting like you're going to the countryside with the leaders for inspection. You're not afraid of being beaten to death by the bigwigs.

In the future, Gongde Lin will definitely have your VVVVIP bed.

Shut up for 180 years...

The ideological inspection must be profound, at least 1.8 million words...

Stop the car.

Get out of the car.

Look up at the sky.

Today's weather is very good. Warm. A light breeze. Sunny.

This is what spring should be like.

Oh, it's April in the Gregorian calendar. But most of the time, we Chinese people refer to the lunar calendar. The Gregorian calendar doesn't correspond to the seasons. The lunar calendar is still spring. Shanghai's spring in March is much more comfortable than that shitty Hangzhou.

Lower your head.

Take your eyes off the road.

Look at the girl coming up the road.

Damn. Why are Japanese girls so beautiful? What's their secret?

I feel like only Su Yuxi is comparable.

Aoi Akiyama.

She actually appeared alone in the concession.

You tell me, is she in disguise? Or in disguise? Or in disguise?

Zhang Yong could not believe that there were really such innocent people in this world. She was not living in a vacuum. How could she not know anything?

Well, in this sunny March, with the gentle spring breeze blowing, I will use my true heart to test her true identity. Let's see which episode of Liaozhai she'll be in, this thousand-year fox. And that old guy, Aoi Akiyama, actually refused to listen. It's about time he got a good beating.

A two-pronged approach.

A wake-up call.

What does the Buddhist scripture say? If the benefactor doesn't understand Mahayana Buddhism, the monk also knows a little bit about kung fu...

Great and powerful Dragon King!

Worldly Bodhisattva!

Go!

He walked straight towards Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi Aoi

Zhang Yong didn't say a word, went straight up to her, and picked her up with one arm. Put her on his shoulder. She felt so light. She probably weighed less than 90 pounds. Her waist was also very slender. I guess only Su Youxi can compare with her. Alas, that Su Youxi, she is truly a peerless beauty...

It's a pity that there is no chance.

For someone like him, how could there be a future with Su Youxi.

It would only harm others...

He walked angrily over to the neighbouring house. There was no one inside. He kicked the door open. He carried Aoi-chan into the house and threw her onto the bed. There was a bed inside. Just throw her onto the bed. Hard. Let her know what the world is like.

Huh?

No movement?

No screams?

Fainted from shock?

Frowning, he looked at Aoi-chan.

He noticed that her eyes were blank, staring at him without saying a word.

She was beautiful like a porcelain doll.

Let you pretend!

Even if you are a thousand-year-old fox demon, you have to break your Tao.

Take off your clothes.

I'll see if you're afraid.

As it turned out...

She was still dazed.

She didn't speak. She didn't move. She just silently looked at him.

Zhang Yong: ...

Fainted.

What kind of freak is this. Is he really not pretending?

Angrily, he put his clothes back on. He really is not a beast.

In fact, he wanted to be a beast. But he was afraid that the God of Harmony would descend.

'You are Zhang Yong,' Aoi Akiyama said with absolute certainty, "I saw you in Tianjin. I was with Su Youxi.'

'Aoi-san, what are you doing here on the Bund?" Zhang Yong pulled a chair over and sat back.

'My father was transferred here for work. I followed him.'

'Your father is Shigeaki Akiyama, isn't he?'

'Yes. My father is now the Consul General at the Consulate General in Shanghai. Do you know him?'

'Yes. We have met. I really want to shoot you right now.'

'I know. You Chinese all say that we Japanese are invaders. You should arrest me.'

'Miss Aoi, you don't need to pretend. This trick won't work on me.'

'So what do you think I am?'

'You're a spy.'

'Aren't spies very clever?'

'Spies don't die a good death.'

'So are you a spy?'

'Of course not. I'm the one who catches spies.'

'So you're arresting me like I'm a spy? Are you going to shoot me?'

'Yes.'

Zhang Yong answered sulkily.

He was finished.

He had made a mistake in his judgment.

This woman was not innocent. She was a bit stupid.

She actually knew that she was an invader. She even knew what a spy was. And then she was arrested. She didn't seem to be afraid.

She really hasn't been beaten up by society.

Okay, now, I'll show you what cruelty is.

If you really aren't pretending. If you really are stupid. Then hurry up and go back to your country. Don't get in the way here.

Suddenly an idea occurs to him.

'You, call your father.'

'Okay.'

'Have your father answer the phone. Tell him I, Zhang Yong, am looking for him.'

'Go!'

Zhang Yong pushes her out the door.

He found a phone nearby. He tossed two silver dollars in. Then he nudged her mouth.

Aoi-ko Akiyama obediently picked up the receiver.

Then she spoke in Japanese.

Zhang Yong didn't quite understand. He didn't care.

He didn't care what she said. This was the public concession anyway.

As long as the Japanese army didn't come in on a large scale, he wasn't afraid. If you can't beat them, run.

Before, in Tianjin, he encountered so many Japanese military police and he was fine. What about here?

If Aoi Akiyama called a group of Japanese soldiers over, he would just take them down one by one.

He still felt uneasy that he hadn't captured Sun Dingyuan. There was no thrill in trading someone back for someone you captured yourself.

He also always felt that Lin Xiaoyan was too cunning to easily hand over 250,000 taels of silver.

He also didn't know what other tricks this woman had up her sleeve.

He couldn't be too careful...

'Zhang Sang, my father is here.'

'Good.'

Zhang Yong took the microphone.

Shigeaki Akiyama is also a China expert. He has no problem communicating in Chinese.

This includes Shigeko Akiyama as well. She speaks Chinese very fluently.

I wonder when she started learning Chinese. Hmph. This woman is definitely preparing herself to become a spy in the future.

Even if she isn't a spy now. She will be in the future. If she isn't one of us, her heart must be different...

'Shigeki Akiyama, do you remember me?'

'I don't know you.'

'I have your daughter.'

'So what?'

'I have your daughter.'

'And?'

'Isn't it about time you honoured the agreement we made in Tientsin?'

'What agreement?' 'Nonsense!'

'Please restrain your people. Don't run around. Bullets don't know who to spare...'

'Click!'

The phone hung up.

Zhang Yong: ...

Hey, this Shigeaki Akiyama really is looking for trouble.

He hung up on me!

Fine. I haven't beaten the old guy up enough last time.

Turn around.

Leave.

Forget about Aoi Akiyama.

Bullying an unarmed young girl is not manly.

Go find other Japanese spies to mess with.

There are so many Japanese spies on the Bund, capture one, beat one.

Kill them all!

Don't ask for information, just beat them! Kill them until they die!

Hang up on me, huh?

You hang up on me!

Perfect, a red dot has appeared on the edge of the map.

There's no weapon symbol.

No gold symbol either.

It's not marked.

OK, let's go and have a look. If it's a Japanese spy, arrest him and beat him up.

Not for any other reason. Just to let off some steam.

Move quickly.

The target is soon in sight.

It's a sneaky-looking man.

From the outside, he looks completely Chinese.

Damn, it's a real spy. Definitely a Japanese spy. What could possibly be good about someone sneaking around like that?

The guy was seen entering a house on the street quietly.

The map showed that there was no one inside the house. After entering, the red dot seemed to have carefully explored every corner of the house. It took about 20 minutes. Then he came out. Then he sneaked around again, observing the surroundings. He was preparing to return the same way.

Haha. Arrest him!

No matter what the other person is here for, arrest him first.

After arresting him, beat him up!

Move.

Surround him.

Quickly hold the target down.

Tie him up.

'What are you doing?'

'What are you doing?'

The Japanese spy yelled in panic.

Then, the yelling turned into screaming. But Zhang Yong came up.

Without saying a word, he started fighting.

He vented his anger completely on the Japanese spy.

I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!

I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!

'Tell me or I'll kill you!'

'Tell me or I'll kill you!'

Zhang Yong cursed as he beat him.

He did it on purpose. He didn't ask him anything. It was just like filming a clip. He just kept beating him.

He would beat him for three days and nights before he spoke.

Sure enough, the Japanese spy was beaten into a daze. What do you mean, tell you or kill you? You didn't even ask me anything! You didn't ask me what I had to say...

'I'll tell you...'

'I'll tell you...'

However, after less than five minutes, the spy couldn't take it anymore.

It was mainly because Zhang Yong was so brutal. He didn't know when to stop. The spy soon realised that he might actually be beaten to death.

'Say it! Say it!'

'Say it!'

Zhang Yong continued to beat him savagely.

I haven't even asked yet. What did you say?

Did I let you say it?

Don't say it!

Wait until I'm done beating you. I'll ask you then. You can say it then.

'Pang!'

'Pang!'

The beating continued.

The others around him: ...

This, it seems, the team leader has been in a bad mood lately!

It feels like the purpose of catching the Japanese spy is purely to beat people up. He's about to beat him to death.

'Say it, say it!'

'Say it, say it!'

Zhang Yong got tired of beating him. That's when he angrily stopped.

The already dying Japanese spy was lying on the ground, his mind full of question marks.

Go ahead and ask!

If you don't ask anything, how can I say anything?

I just said I was going to tell you. But you kept beating me. You have no humanity...

'Pah!'

Zhang Yong wipes his hands.

He waves his hands in the distance.

Aoi actually followed him.

Is she stupid? Or is she just stupid? Fine. Now she will know the ferocity of Zhang Yong.

'I said...'

'I said...'

'I was sent by Sun Dingyuan...'

The Japanese spy fell to the ground. His breathing was ragged. He spoke in intermittent bursts, as if he would die at any moment.

At first, Zhang Yong didn't bother with him. It would be best if he died.

But when he heard Sun Dingyuan's name, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Huh? Lin Xiaoyan...

Oh, it seems he has been deceived again.

Sun Dingyuan may not have fallen into Lin Xiaoyan's hands yet.

She was just talking nonsense.

As expected, no one should believe a word a spy says.

Don't look at her as a woman, and she is pretty. But she is from the Special High Commission!

Rash...

Fortunately, someone promptly added fuel to the fire.

Promptly exposing the fact that what Lin Xiaoyan had come up with was a blank cheque.

A sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If Lin Xiaoyan's blank cheque could not be cashed, how would she react?

'Where is Sun Dingyuan?'

'He, he, is coming to the concession soon...'

'Are you here to look at a house?'

'Yes...'

'You're Japanese. Why are you acting as Sun Dingyuan's advance man?'

'I, I, I'm just following orders...'

'Whose orders?'

'I...'

The Japanese spy stammered.

Clearly, he was hesitating intensely.

Zhang Yong went up and kicked him again. The Japanese spy curled up like a shrimp.

He turned his head to look at Aoi Akiyama. He noticed that she was still dumbfounded. She didn't look happy or sad. Her face was incredibly pretty. But it seemed like she didn't have any emotions.

How should I put it? It was like she was a person inside a picture. She had a physical form but no soul.

What a strange person.

But if you used her as a porcelain doll and put her at home as an ornament, she seemed pretty good.

Whoever saw her would probably praise her, saying, 'This girl is really pretty...'

'Tell me or I'll kill you!'

'Tell me!'

Zhang Yong continued to beat the Japanese spy.

The Japanese spy finally couldn't hold out anymore. He had to confess. His mouth was full of blood. His speech was slurred.

'I, was, arranged by Lord Kagezawa...'

'Where is Kagezawa?'

'The Consulate General.'

'Why wasn't Sun Dingyuan placed in your Japanese concession?'

'We can't let him be too safe...'

'What?'

Zhang Yong frowned. Then he understood.

This Kagekatsu Shigeaki was also a crafty old fox. He was obviously also eyeing Sun Dingyuan.

He also knew that Sun Dingyuan had money on him. So, he wanted to squeeze it out. If Sun Dingyuan were allowed to enter the Japanese concession, he would be safe. But it would not be easy to extort money from him.

Other people would be defecting to you. As a result, you would be torturing someone who had defected to you. That wouldn't look good.

For the time being, the Japanese invaders still need to win over the hearts and minds of the people. So if they eat in a way that is too unpleasant to watch, no one else will be willing to cooperate.

Superficial hypocrisy is indeed quite deceptive.

Placing Sun Dingyuan in the public concession area provides a certain degree of security. But it is not particularly safe. This will make Sun Dingyuan anxious. He will try every means to win the support of the Japanese. How? Of course, he will slowly start to give out money.

Until then, Sun Dingyuan definitely won't have the chance to go to the United States.

The Japanese definitely played a part in this.

'Why didn't Sun Dingyuan go to the United States?'

'He thought he had been betrayed by the Americans, so how could he possibly trust them...'

'I see.'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Damn it. So in the end, my plan benefited the Japanese?

Sun Dingyuan, who had no idea that he had been manipulated, was in a state of information cocooning and must have thought that the Americans were behind it.

Because only Wiggins knew about it.

If it wasn't the Americans who tipped them off, how would anyone else have found out about him?

Therefore, one must never trust the British or Americans.

One cannot trust the British, Americans, French or Germans. In the end, one can only trust the Japanese.

A choice of no choice.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese side was also greedy and insatiable.

'When are you coming?'

'I, I, I have to go back and report...'

'You...'

Zhang Yong frowned.

Does this guy still have to go back and report?

That's it.

He's been beaten beyond recognition.

He can barely speak, and he can't move a finger. How can he report back?

If he doesn't report back, Sun Dingyuan won't come to the concession.

It's over. Things have gone wrong.

But I didn't think too much about it.

So be it. It's best if Sun Dingyuan doesn't trust even the Japanese.

As long as this Japanese spy doesn't report back, Sun Dingyuan will definitely be suspicious.

Then...

He should still be hiding out somewhere.

He should still be trying to escape. I guess his final destination is still the United States.

Wherever he goes...

As long as he's still in Shanghai, there's a chance we'll encounter him. Sooner or later, we'll catch him. And then we'll squeeze every last penny out of him...

Suddenly, several weapon icons appeared on the map.

One of the red dots was marked. Upon closer inspection, it was the Japanese spy he had captured in Hangzhou. The one by Sun Dingyuan's side.

Huh?

A chill ran down his spine.

The Japanese spy next to Sun Dingyuan appeared. Could it be Sun Dingyuan next to him?

The map showed that there were more than ten people surrounding him. There were many weapon symbols. There were also many gold symbols. But there was no car. They were definitely not ordinary people. The direction they were heading in happened to be the same direction Zhang Yong was in.

Zhang Yong's spirits suddenly perked up.

Could it be that Sun Dingyuan couldn't wait and had snuck into the concession without waiting for his subordinates to report?

Good. Good. Good. This is really good.

It can only be said that the heavens are feeding. Finally, he was close to this big fish.

He was in a great mood.

He saw Aoi standing there, looking dazed.

She was beautiful.

Exquisite.

What a porcelain doll!

He took her in his arms.

He kissed her.

Beauty. This is a reward for you.

You came up to me yourself. Don't blame me. You're welcome.

I'm just being friendly!
