Chapter 734: Traitor, Spy, Undercover

The exchange with Liu Xi was very pleasant.

She is not a woman who holds back. She is also not that fanatical.

She also needs money. She also wants to escape the maelstrom of war. Especially after being injured.

I guess she has already thought about it. There will definitely be more missions like this in the future.

Her profession is medicine. She is not good at assassinations.

But the people above her won't care.

In their eyes, anyone is a pawn. They can be discarded.

In this regard, there is no qualitative difference between the Japanese navy and army.

At the word of the people above, the people below have to pay with their lives. Even if they are women. They have to die.

In the prime of her life, at the age of a beautiful flower, of course she doesn't want to die. She has studied abroad in the United States. She has seen the outside world.

Zhang Yong was very tactful and did not ask her who she was replacing.

It was very likely that her entire family were Japanese spies. However, none of them lived in Hangzhou City. Instead, they were living in hiding in the countryside.

He said goodbye.

He left the Elisabeth Hospital.

He went to the garrison headquarters. He was preparing to pick up Wei Fangquan and the others.

Suddenly, a yellow dot appeared at the edge of the map. It was heading straight towards him.

Originally, Zhang Yong had decided to intervene cautiously in the Red Party matter. He didn't want to disrupt other people's plans and cause accidents.

However, the yellow dot in front of him just happened to pass by him.

The moment he saw the other person, Zhang Yong recognised her. It was Du Xiaoman. She had also come to Shanghai.

Previously, Du Xiaoman had appeared in Hangzhou...

Doubts.

What was Du Xiaoman doing in Shanghai?

It's true that he never thought before that Du Xiaoman was a member of the Red Party.

He had previously thought that she was just an ordinary employee of a gold shop. Who knew that she was actually related to the Red Party. And her sister Du Xiaodie is also a member of the Red Party.

This person who is a member of the Red Party may not be a formal member of the Red Party. They may yearn for the Red Party and be willing to help it.

In terms of organisational discipline, if Du Xiaodie had come from a background of prostitution, she would not be able to join the organisation.

This is not discrimination. It is just not suitable.

It's the same as with him, Zhang Yong.

The underground party strictly forbids violence and seduction. It doesn't engage in that kind of despicable behaviour.

If there is no such organisational discipline, then there is no difference between the underground party and the general secret societies. Without this essential difference, how could a new China be built?

Calm your mind.

Pretend you don't know. Just swipe it away.

However, suddenly a few weapon symbols appeared at the edge of the map.

One of them was actually marked. Upon closer inspection, it was Jin Lin. It's this guy again.

This guy's route just happened to be behind Du Xiaoman.

Well, anyone can tell by the knee that Du Xiaoman is being targeted by Jin Lin. Jin Lin is obviously playing hard to get, wanting to see who Du Xiaoman is really going to.

Sigh...

Zhang Yong let out a helpless sigh.

When something like this happened, it would definitely be unreasonable for him not to lend a hand.

It was very likely that Du Xiaoman was going to see the nurse.

And it was very likely that Jin Lin was also trying to lure out the nurse. The guys from the Party Affairs Investigation Department were all very cunning.

I hope that this Jin Lin and Ye Wansheng won't defect to No. 76 in the future. Otherwise, I'll be the first to kill them.

Slow down the car.

Du Xiaoman walked along the street. Head down. Obviously unaware of the tail behind her.

Jin Lin was very cunning. He didn't follow too closely. He must have judged that Du Xiaoman's destination was the Elisabeth Hospital. Perhaps he had obtained insider information. He knew that there were also Red Party members in the Elisabeth Hospital. Du Xiaoman was going to meet with them.

Frowning...

Could there be a traitor within the Red Party?

Otherwise, how would Jin Lin have obtained such accurate information? But Du Xiaoman was not arrested.

From this perspective, Jin Lin must have known that there were communists in Elizabeth Hospital. But he didn't have any specific information. Therefore, he had to use Du Xiaoman as a clue to find out more. This was the thing to fear most in underground struggles. If you follow a clue, you can find a whole bunch of things.

You can't just ignore it.

Otherwise, all the communists on that line will be uncovered by Jin Lin.

In terms of professionalism, both Jin Lin and Ye Wansheng are very impressive. At this moment in time, the underground party is still in a period of low ebb. It is very weak.

Determine the position. Zhang Yong suddenly stopped the car.

Then got out. He took a few steps and caught her. He held her hand down so that she wouldn't struggle and hurt herself.

He wanted to save her, but he couldn't get involved. If she kicked him, or stabbed him in the eye or elbowed him, he would be finished.

Her embroidery needle is very powerful.

If she surprises you with a stab, you could be finished.

'Follow me!' he shouted in a low voice.

'It's you?' Du Xiaoman was momentarily flustered, but then her heart settled.

It turned out to be Zhang Yong!

She wondered who else it could be.

'The people from the Party Affairs Investigation Office are following you. You're being followed.'

'What? Those bastards!'

'You've been under suspicion for a long time. Why did you come here?'

'I have a mission.'

'To find someone at the Elisabeth Hospital?'

'You...'

Du Xiaoman bit her lip.

She wanted to say, 'How do you know?' But the words stuck in her throat.

There was no need.

If the other person had said that, then they must have known something.

'You need medicine?'

'Yes.'

'What kind of medicine?'

'Medicine for penetrating wounds.'

'Bullets?'

'Yes.'

Du Xiaoman didn't hide anything.

That night, Zhang Yong was drinking with Gu Mozhai, and she was there the whole time.

Zhang Yong was not part of the organisation. But he would never betray the organisation. He was also willing to help them. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to do many things.

Unfortunately, he could not be considered a comrade. His private life was too chaotic.

'Take this,' Zhang Yong took out three boxes of Amoxicillin capsules, 'this is an effective medicine for treating wound infections.'

'What's it called?' Du Xiaoman asked. "Amoxicillin?'

'Yes," Zhang Yong nodded.

In this era, they all use traditional Chinese characters. But these four characters are the same in both traditional and simplified Chinese. So Du Xiaoman recognised them.

But the instructions inside were in simplified Chinese. Some of them Du Xiaoman didn't recognise.

It seems that some of the details of the system are not yet perfect...

In fact, it would be better in English. Or German.

'Seriously, take two capsules twice a day. At least for five days,' Zhang Yong simply instructed.

'Where did you get it? Do you have any more?' Du Xiaoman anxiously asked. 'We need a lot...'

'There's none left for now. If there were, I would give it to you. Now go.'

'Okay.'

'Don't go to the Elisabeth Hospital.'

'Got it.'

Du Xiaoman quickly changed direction. She withdrew decisively.

Zhang Yong gets back into the car. He sees Dou Wanjiang and Feng Yunshan looking at him. Their eyes are full of meaning.

'She used to work in a jewellery shop. Quite pretty. I like her,' Zhang Yong says bluntly.

With those last three words, he is giving his seal of approval.

Yes, I like pretty women. What are you all surprised about? Haven't you seen pretty women before?

Dou Wanjiang: ...

Feng Yunshan: ...

They both remain silent. It means they understand.

Being lustful is not a big problem. Which man isn't lustful? As long as it doesn't ruin things, it's fine.

Keep moving.

Arrive at the police headquarters. Explain the reason for your visit to the guard post.

Zhou Yang will come out soon.

'Shaolong.'

'Deputy Officer Zhou.'

'You're really in time. Wei Fangquan and the others can't wait any longer. I've already told them to pack their things and I'm about to send them to you.'

'Where are the people?'

'They'll be here soon.'

'Good.'

Zhang Yong nodded. Wait a moment.

Sure enough, Wei Fangquan and the others soon appeared. The people were familiar. It was just that there were a bit too many of them.

At first, Zhang Yong thought there were just a dozen or so. But there were actually thirty.

Doubt.

This...

'You haven't met the others. They split up to report Sun Dingyuan to other places.'

'Oh. I see.'

Zhang Yong indicated that he fully accepted this explanation.

He was secretly suspicious. Most of them were probably undercover agents arranged by the Police Command Headquarters.

Among these thirty people, there was definitely someone who could directly contact the Police Command Headquarters. It was just like Feng Jizhong.

There was no unconditional trust.

Even Commander Qian would do the same.

The Chief of Police would definitely arrange an eye within the police cadets.

Similarly, the Police Command Headquarters would also arrange spies among these thirty officers and soldiers.

It may not be malicious to say so.

But it is necessary to control the movements of Zhang Yong.

Otherwise, Zhang Yong will fly into the sky at any time, and no one will know. That would be too much.

What should I do?

Should I find them out?

Forget it!

Zhang Yong is not that capable.

Wei Xiaobao is so cunning, and he hasn't discovered Feng Jizhong. How about Zhang Yong?

In terms of various conspiracy and struggle tactics, Zhang Yong is a complete amateur. Not to mention the level of his opponents. You can't even touch the threshold of struggle.

Therefore, the best outcome is to accept it obediently. Let them report everything as it is.

At worst, it will be a mutual break-up.

Facts have proven that as long as you are of sufficient value, everything will be fine. Even if the other party wants to turn its back on you, it will have to carefully calculate the gains and losses.

'Team Leader Zhang.'

'Deputy Battalion Commander Wei.'

'I dare not. In the future, I hope Team Leader Zhang will give me more guidance.'

'Deputy Battalion Commander Wei, I am a straightforward person. Since you are willing to come to our Secret Investigation Unit, it is my honour. You 30 people will be divided into two teams for the time being. I will ask you to be a team leader. In addition, you will elect another team leader. What do you think?'

'We listen to Team Leader Zhang.'

'Good. Then you will elect another team leader. And you will divide into teams. Each team will have 15 people.'

'Yes.'

Wei Fangquan quickly carried out the order.

In fact, they were all from the military, and were most used to following orders.

If you let them act alone and think independently, they will feel uncomfortable. They are used to following orders from above. Just do what you are told.

If Sun Dingyuan hadn't wanted to defect to the Japanese, they probably wouldn't have reported him.

This involves a matter of right and wrong.

If it were a general problem, they would have tolerated it long ago.

Soon, another squad leader was elected. His name was Wang Yuchuan. He had an unremarkable appearance. There were no obvious distinguishing features. But since he had been elected, he must have extraordinary abilities. He could not be underestimated.

'Shaolong, do you need weapons and ammunition?'

'I have my own.'

'That's good. Commander Qian really did not misjudge you. You can completely solve the problem of weapons and ammunition on your own.'

'Barely. Then I'll take the men with me.'

'Good.'

Zhou Yang and Zhang Yong waved goodbye.

Zhang Yong led the group away from the garrison headquarters and found an open area nearby.

Since so many people had joined, there were some things he had to explain in advance. He could already tell that these were all veterans, and it was unclear whether they had much combat experience. But their individual skills were quite good. In that case, it was necessary to get to know them.

'Everyone, let me introduce myself first.'

'My name is Zhang Yong. The Yong in mediocre. I don't have any special abilities.'

'I can tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese soldiers. I can find weapons and ammunition. And I can find gold.'

Zhang Yong gets straight to the point.

It's important to know what your men can do and what they can't.

If you have soldiers who are good shots, you have to give them rifles. And a scope. That way they can make the most of their skills.

If you give them pistols or submachine guns, they won't be able to use their strengths.

'Wei Fangquan!'

'Here!'

'Wang Yuchuan!'

'Here!'

The two squad leaders step forward.

Zhang Yong asks them to briefly categorise the members of their teams.

Those with good marksmanship go into one group.

Those with quick reflexes go into another.

Those who know how to blow things up go into another group.

And there is a group of people who are good at using their fists and feet. Good at hand-to-hand combat at close range.

In addition, everyone will be trained in capture techniques. This will be comprehensively and specifically trained when we return to Logistics Base 026.

'I have three requirements for everyone.'

'First, don't go over to the Japanese.'

'Second, you must never show mercy to the Japanese. Otherwise, you will be the one who dies.'

'Third, gambling is strictly forbidden.'

Zhang Yong's words were concise and to the point. There was no need. They were all veterans.

Vets actually knew what they could and could not do. He was just repeating what had been said.

As for in-depth ideological work, sorry, he couldn't do it.

That was the Red Party's patent.

He also didn't have the qualifications to elevate other people's thinking.

He is greedy and lustful himself, and his reputation precedes him. How can he possibly educate others?

Bring him back to Logistics Base 026.

I accidentally discovered that Shi Bingdao has returned.

From the look on Lao Shi's face, it seems that nothing serious has happened. That's a relief.

After thinking about it, I called Lao Shi aside.

'I have something...'

'What is it?'

'I will describe something truthfully. You judge for yourself.'

'You say...'

'Two days ago, Boss Zhou of Huichun Hall sent a seriously injured person...'

Zhang Yong said slowly.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the map's hint. Instead, he told Liu Xi's deduction.

Shi Bingdao's face gradually became serious.

Although Zhang Yong described it as objectively as possible, everyone knew that Zhang Yong was suspecting the seriously injured person.

There were signs of capture. But he escaped. He was shot twice. But it wasn't a vital wound.

The point is, Ding Mucun and Li Shiqun did not continue the chase.

It is impossible to say that there are no doubts.

However, it is absolutely painful to suspect one's comrades.

Zhang Yong quietly retreated.

At this time, it is best to disappear automatically.

Eat.

Take a bath.

No one calls.

It seems that there is nothing to do for the time being. Take a break for two days and then talk.

There is always work to be done. You also have to leave some time for the Japanese invaders to catch their breath, don't you?

The various pieces of fabricated intelligence also need time to ferment.

Those veterans from the 47th Division also need time to familiarise themselves with the situation. So as not to rush into battle.

One day...

Two days...

Three days...

'Team leader.'

Wei Fangquan is here. He is about to speak but stops.

Zhang Yong nods. Signalling him to speak freely. There is no need to be shy.

'I know that Sun Dingyuan has a hideout in Shanghai,' Wei Fangquan said slowly. "I want to go take a look.'

'You didn't tell the garrison command?" Zhang Yong was puzzled.

'No,' Wei Fangquan shook his head.

Zhang Yong suddenly felt that this Lieutenant Wei also had a mind of his own.

He didn't tell the garrison command. But he told himself. Is he showing his loyalty to me? Or is he expressing his gratitude?

'Aren't you afraid that the garrison headquarters will find out and cause you trouble?'

'Team leader, would you hand me over?'

'Of course not. Unless you want to go yourself, otherwise no one can touch you.'

Zhang Yong shook his head. He meant that the other party could completely rest assured.

As long as he himself did not agree, no one could force him to go. The people before him were all following orders.

However, Wei Fangquan could disobey the orders of others.

Because...

'From now on, your only superior is me. You can refuse to carry out the orders of anyone else,' Zhang Yong said bluntly, "as long as you don't want to leave, even if you become a bandit, I will take you with me.'

'I remember," Wei Fangquan replied slowly.

Zhang Yong didn't say anything else.

Let's see what happens.

Wei Fangquan provided an address. But it wasn't accurate.

He only knew that it was near Huanghe Road. But he didn't know the exact house number.

The source of the information was Sun Dingyuan, who had once bragged drunkenly that he was on Huanghe Road with a suitcase full of goods that would last you a lifetime.

'A lifetime's worth of expenses?'

'A suitcase?'

Was it gold?

If it was gold, then it would be easy.

He immediately led the team to Huanghe Road. They searched carefully.

The only people they took were Wei Fangquan and Wang Yuchuan's two small teams.

In other words, they were all from the 47th Division.

Zhang Yong's thinking was simple: it all depended on whether there were any tall men among them.

If the Garrison Command found out about this, it would mean that there was a traitor among the 30 men.

If the Garrison Command didn't find out, it would mean that the traitor was hiding very deeply. And he was very clever. He knew how to judge for himself. Such a clever person might be able to be bought. How? Of course with money.

If you scatter money by the handful, the traitor is also a human being, and most likely he will weigh up the situation.

If they report the information, they may have to give up the money they have received. A normal spy would not do something so stupid.

The previous police academy students were more or less the same.

As long as money was involved, no one reported anything. It can be seen that no spies are stupid.

The search began along Huanghe Road...

Soon, at the southwestern end of Huanghe Road, a gold sign was found that might be the target.

It was in a very ordinary private house. No one lived there.

The silent technology unlocks the door. Enter. It turns out that the inside of the room is actually quite clean. Someone has obviously cleaned it.

Never mind. Follow the map.

Finally...

The hidden space where the treasure is hidden is found.

There is not one box inside. There are three. Two large ones and one small one.

First, pick up the small one. Open it.

It is full of gold bars. But there are not many. Only 30.

They are not big yellow fish or small yellow fish. They are irregular. It seems that they were privately minted. The appearance is a bit rough.

The weights are not equal. But there is no doubt that they are pure gold. They are very heavy.

I believe that even ordinary goldsmiths do not have the technology to incorporate tungsten into gold nuggets. That would require very high-level skills.

Good. Swallow the waves.

Open the other two boxes at the same time.

They are both full of shiny, white ocean.

Zhang Yong: ...

Good. The famous scene is coming.

Immediately clap your hands. Draw everyone's attention.

'Thirty Taels of Ocean for each person!'

'There are all of them!'

'Attention, 30 taels of silver each, take what you want!'

'Don't take too much, don't take too little.'

'Come up and take what you want!'

'All of it!'
