Chapter 724: Execute the revenge order
Kangleyuan Western Restaurant.
Zhang Yong arrived early. Ordered food. Waited quietly.
Will Liu Xi come?
If she comes as promised, what will she say?
Talk business?
Or try to turn me?
Or set a trap for me and then trick me?
He silently monitors his surroundings. He doesn't notice anything unusual. The people he has arranged to be there are all quietly waiting in ambush around the restaurant.
Safety first.
One must always be fully prepared.
This is the concession area.
The concession area is unstable.
He has so many enemies, and if he is even slightly negligent, he could lose his life...
Suddenly, the system gives a prompt.
Checking his personal space, he finds an extra pair of binoculars.
Hmm, binoculars again.
Recently, the things the system has given him haven't been very useful. It would be better if it gave him a scope.
Now the Japanese invaders have started using snipers, and the thing they lack most is a scope! A scope can be used as a telescope. But a telescope can't be used as a scope...
Check the watch.
It's already 6pm. Liu Xi hasn't arrived yet.
There's no red dot within a 500-metre radius. This means she's not lurking nearby.
Really...
She's not coming?
Is she really playing with me again?
Frown.
Unhappy.
'Ding-dong...'
'Ding-a-ling...'
Suddenly, the restaurant phone rang.
The waiter picked up the phone. Answered it. Then walked out. Came to Zhang Yong.
'Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhang Shaolong?'
'I am.'
'A Miss Liu would like you to answer the phone.'
'Okay.'
Zhang Yong stood up angrily.
This Liu Xi. She really did let him down.
And she also asked him not to bring anyone else. He hadn't brought anyone else at all.
Damn it...
Come and answer the phone.
He thought of hundreds of excuses.
Something about having to have an operation, no time, just listen.
He picked up the receiver.
'I'm all ears,' Zhang made no secret of his displeasure.
'Come and save me...' Who knew, from the other end of the line came the voice of Liu Xi. Very faint. Intermittent.
'What's wrong with you?' Zhang Yong frowned.
'I killed two people. But I've also been injured. I can't move. Come and save me...'
'You...'
Zhang Yong paused.
Liu Xi had actually gone and killed someone? And two at that?
As a reflex, he felt that he should go and save her. After all, she was a top-notch beauty. It would be a pity to let her die.
However, three seconds later, he calmed down again.
What if it was a trap?
What if Liu Xi was in disguise?
What if she was trying to lure him somewhere?
Haha. One can never be too careful.
In any case, Liu Xi was Japanese.
This is something that cannot be changed. Therefore, there is a high probability that she is the enemy.
Calm down.
Stay calm.
Let's figure out the situation first.
If he had to choose between him and Liu Xi, the one who would die would of course be Liu Xi!
"Where are you?'
'Shinsho...'
'What are you doing in such a remote place?'
'Killing people...'
'Killing what people?'
'People who deserve to die.'
'Er...'
Zhang Yong wanted to say something but stopped.
Liu Xi's voice was very weak. But her thoughts were clear. It seemed that she was not in a coma.
Initially, it did not seem like she was faking.
Of course, it was also possible that the other person was too clever for him to recognise.
'What exactly are you doing?'
'Carrying out a mission.'
'Aren't you a doctor?'
'I am a doctor.'
'Then why did you go and kill someone?'
'Who says that doctors can't kill?'
'This...'
Zhang Yong frowned again.
This Miss Liu is not playing by the rules either!
What she said made perfect sense. He was at a loss for words.
That was true. No one said that doctors couldn't kill. In fact, many doctors were true masters of killing.
They knew the human body inside out. They knew where to strike to kill.
If a doctor studied hard and wanted to become a killer, it would be easy.
At least, that's how it was portrayed in many spy dramas.
The question was, when other people killed, they would try their best to cover it up. Why did Liu Xi admit to it?
Who exactly did she kill?
She's a woman, and she actually killed someone. Isn't she afraid of being killed in return?
And she said she was on a mission. So who gave her the mission? And what is her hidden identity?
"Miss Liu Xi, who exactly are you?'
'A doctor.'
'But you went and killed someone.'
'What's the problem?'
'Who gave you the mission?'
'You want to know?'
'I'm curious.'
'The more secrets you know, the greater the chance of being silenced.'
'Forget it then.'
Zhang Yong didn't pursue the matter.
If you're so tough, forget it. Figure it out yourself.
You want me to save you? Haha. Just wait.
I'm not a pushover...
No sound.
Holding the phone. Not putting it down.
One minute...
Three minutes...
Five minutes...
There was no sound on the other end of the line either.
Zhang Yong's stubbornness suddenly came to the fore. You're not going to say anything either, are you? Fine. Let's just wait it out.
You called me. You're the one who has to pay the phone bill. Not me. Let's see who can hold out the longest.
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
Finally, Zhang Yong couldn't hold back any longer.
This damned Liu Xi, why is she so patient? Women are really...
Fine, I give up...
'Hey...'
He picked up the receiver. He spoke.
However, Liu Xi didn't respond. It was quiet on the other end.
'Hey...'
'Hey...'
Zhang Yong called out again.
He thought to himself, I've let go of my pride and taken the initiative to speak. Don't push it too far!
However, there was still no movement.
The phone was still on. But there was still no one speaking on the other end.
This...
Could it be that she's passed out?
Could it be that she's faking?
Is she really injured?
He frowned.
He was suspicious.
Is she deliberately luring him over to check on her?
Could she have set a trap for him over there?
However, in the end, Zhang Yong decided to go over and take a look. See what's going on.
Be careful. It's fine.
After all, his surveillance map has a radius of 500 metres. It can avoid 99% of risks. No trap will work.
As long as she is still alive, the map will show it.
If the map doesn't show it, it means she is already dead. There is no need to look for her.
He set off immediately.
He went to Xinchang.
Xinchang is actually by the sea. A mudflat.
He was surprised that there was actually a phone there. So, he was also worried that Liu Xi had made up the address.
After leaving the city, the road started to become pitted and rutted. It was all muddy.
In April, Shanghai gets a lot of rain. The road was muddy. The car was moving very slowly.
The car gradually approached Xinchang.
Looking at his watch, it was already 10 pm.
From the time he made the phone call to the time he appeared here, two hours had passed.
Perhaps...
Maybe...
Probably...
Liu Xi is already dead.
Although it is a bit of a pity. But still, one must be careful.
Slow down. Search ahead.
Let Hu Hai drive for the first 400 metres, responsible for scouting the road ahead. Zhang Yong follows behind.
If there is an ambush, Hu Hai will be the first to be hit.
Proceed with caution.
No signs of weapons...
No signs of weapons...
No ambush for now.
If someone is trying to do him harm, they should at least have a gun in their hands.
No gun? Haha. It's not him. Zhang Yong is arrogant and conceited. Without a gun, he, Zhang Yong, is not afraid of any ambush at all. If you have the guts, come closer and say it.
Some buildings appear at the edge of the map. Looks like a villa?
Then, a red dot is spotted.
Check. A label is found. Yes. It's Liu Xi.
Continue moving forward.
Raise the binoculars. Observe by moonlight.
It's discovered that there is actually a holiday villa nearby. There are many small villas. The surrounding scenery is superb.
Envy and jealousy.
Indeed, rich people in any era know how to enjoy life!
If Liu Xi hadn't called him to come here, Zhang Yong would never have known that there was actually a villa area here. There are so many beautiful little villas.
Envy and jealousy.
There are so many rich people.
He worked hard, extorted, and resorted to unscrupulous means to get that little bit of money...
Sigh...
Approaching the villa area.
No abnormalities detected.
There are several weapons symbols. But no white dots.
Vigilant.
Approach quietly.
Found a pistol. It is a Browning M1906, a pocket pistol. Nicknamed Palm Rocket.
Pick it up. Eject the magazine. Found that the bullets have been fired. But the barrel still smells faintly of gunpowder. It seems that someone has fired it before.
Presumably it could be Liu Xi?
After all, no man needs such a small water pistol.
When it comes to fighting, what man wouldn't prefer a Colt M1911? Big calibre, powerful.
At the very least, it should be a Browning M1903, 7.65 mm. 9 mm would be even better.
Approaching the red dot.
Found it inside the hall of a villa.
Armed.
Enter with caution.
Found a woman lying on the carpet.
Wearing black tights. Twisted on the ground. There is a Browning M1903 pistol next to her.
Go over. Look carefully.
Yes. It is Liu Xi.
Check the other rooms of the villa first, and find nothing unusual.
Come back. Crouch down. Check the breath. Found to be alive.
Good. Then everything will be fine.
Take out the dagger, cut open the black tights, and find the wounds.
There are two gunshot wounds. One is behind the left shoulder. He was ambushed from behind. The other is at the back of the lower back, to the left. He was also ambushed from behind.
It seems that this Liu Xi is not very good at fighting in the dark. She was ambushed from behind continuously.
Haha. Her level is not good either.
I guess doctors are the professionals. Killing people is amateurish.
'Team leader.'
'Two bodies found.'
Hu Hai enters. He reports on what they found.
Two Japanese bodies were found in a nearby villa. You can tell they're Japanese at first glance.
Why?
Because they were both wearing Japanese clothes.
Zhang Yong arrives at the scene. The two Japanese people who were killed seem to be the owners of the villa?
They were both killed wearing loose robes. It seems they were not on guard. The bullets were all fatal. If Liu Xi shot them, it shows that she is a good shot.
There was no gun on the bodies of the two victims. But there were guns in the room. And there were quite a few.
There was even a Walther PPK pistol.
This fully indicates that the two victims were not simple people.
So the question is, Liu Xi is also Japanese. Why kill a Japanese?
Who exactly is she?
What mission is she on?
Infighting?
Eliminating traitors?
Eliminating traitors within the Japanese army?
Suspicious.
Take a closer look at this villa.
The decor is quite luxurious. Marble floors. Thick wool carpets.
The walls are full of exquisite wall lamps. The hollow dome is hung with a bright crystal chandelier. The side spiral staircase has golden handrails, probably gold-plated?
Extravagant.
Magnificent.
More resplendent than the little White House of whoever.
Perhaps it is because of its remote location that no outsiders come here. So, no matter how extravagant the decoration is, it will not be noticed?
Damn it. Such a waste of money. It would have been better if it had been left to me...
'Team leader...'
'Found something?'
'It seems to be someone from the Mori family...'
'What?'
Zhang Yong's expression changed.
Mori family? One of the Japanese invaders' big families?
It seems that during the Warring States period, Mori Motonari was also considered a great man. The ancestors of the Mori family were also brilliant.
They must be up to no good by coming to China now.
The fact that there are weapons hidden in the villa means that they are definitely engaged in something that cannot be seen in public.
It seems that the Mori family was also at the core of the Choshu clan. And the Choshu clan was the main historical source of the Japanese army. The Japanese navy mainly originated from the Satsuma clan. And the core of the Satsuma clan was the Shimazu family...
Rambling thoughts.
I don't know what I was thinking about.
In the end, he shook his head to expel all kinds of messy thoughts.
These nerve-wracking things are not his forte. If he wants to know the result, he'd better go back and ask Liu Xi. If she's willing to talk...
Back to Liu Xi.
She was still unconscious.
Zhang Yong fetched a blanket and wrapped her up.
After a while, she finally regained some consciousness. Then she noticed that her hands were cuffed.
'You're being too careful...' she said, her breath ragged.
'I'm curious. Who ambushed you?' Zhang Yong said bluntly, 'Did he escape?'
'It was someone from the Miyamoto family.'
'Oh? The Miyamoto family? Why would he come after you?'
'...'
Liu Xi remained silent.
Zhang Yong: '...
Okay, it seems that she can't tell.
There's nothing we can do. She's been shot twice. Although it's not a vital part, it's still serious.
The point is, she's lost a lot of blood from the two shots and she could die at any time. She must receive timely treatment now. Otherwise, even the god Amaterasu can't save her.
'I'm Japanese...' After a moment of silence, Liu Xi slowly admitted.
'I know,' Zhang Yong nodded.
He had expected this.
Liu Xi had to reveal some information. Otherwise, he would not believe her.
From the moment the two met on the first day, she knew full well.
He had already seen through her as a Japanese.
'I killed them. Others killed me. It's all internal to us Japanese. You don't need to know.'
'Then what do you mean by telling me to wait for the phone call at the Hongleyuan Western Restaurant and for me to come and save you?'
'I...'
Liu Xi continued to be silent.
Zhang Yong also remained silent.
It's fine. Take your time. I'm in no hurry. It's not me who's hurt anyway.
'I'm carrying out an order for revenge...'
'Revenge?'
'Yes.'
'Against the Mohri family?'
'Yes.'
'Why?'
'...
Liu Xi fell silent again.
She bit her lips hard to prevent herself from passing out again.
However, she finally passed out.
Zhang Yong had to give up. He picked her up and took her back to Tzu Chi Hospital.
On the way, he changed his mind again. He couldn't go back to Tzu Chi Hospital. Otherwise, her identity would be revealed. The people at Tzu Chi Hospital would know that she had been injured.
Where to go?
Of course, it was the nearby Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Arrived at the hospital.
Rescue arrangements were made.
The bullet was successfully removed.
After all the commotion, it was already bright.
Fortunately, she woke up again.
Zhang Yong stood by the bedside, watching her as she woke up.
Alas, these beautiful women are all so mysterious.
Why?
Why?
