Chapter 808: Reverse Operation

The conversation with Bob was still very pleasant.

Bob said he didn't believe it. In fact, he still recognised Zhang Yong's abilities.

If it were someone else, he would probably say he believed it. But in reality, he didn't believe it at all.

Then, there was only one thing to do next—

get money.

Zhang Yong told him his plan.

Not only did he need to scrape together enough money, he also needed to smear the reputation of Akira Kagezawa.

If Akira Kagezawa's reputation was ruined, then no matter who he wanted to win over in the future, other people would have to think twice.

Who wouldn't worry about being sold out the next time they turned their back?

Only real scum would do it regardless. People like that deserved to die.

'This bag is all for you.'

'Thank you!'

Bob was not shy. He reached out and took it.

From now on, he would exert his influence within the Department of Public Works. Of course, he needed financial support.

This sack of money would ensure that he could gain a foothold within the Department of Public Works. Become a director with 'some influence'. So that no one could ignore his existence.

Since no one could ignore his existence, then he could put some pressure on Kagezo.

Then, what Zhang Yong had to do next was simple.

It was all condensed into two words:

Get money!

Get money!

Get money!

The more the better.

There are thirty prisoners, two have been killed, and there are twenty-eight left...

Wait!

Suddenly, a prisoner symbol appears at the edge of the map.

Huh?

Is this one of the remaining twenty-seven?

Good. Immediately bring the team to encircle it. It is discovered that the target has changed into a suit and is dressed in a smart manner.

It is not clear what kind of work he does. The other party is also carrying a briefcase. It feels like he works in a foreign company?

Identify the target.

Execute the arrest.

The target is unarmed. And single again. Easy.

Strangely, the target seems to be cooperating. I found myself being held down. No struggle. No shouting. Just eyes rolling around.

Zhang Yong felt that this person was not simple. Definitely not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people do not have such good mental quality. They would have panicked long ago.

Come to the target's face. Take a close look at the other person. I found that this guy is good-looking, only his eyes are uncertain.

'What do you do?'

'Brother, I'm just a small businessman...'

'What kind of business?'

'Porcelain. Porcelain. Porcelain.'

'Porcelain?'

Zhang Yong reached out his hand.

The other person hurriedly handed over his identification.

It was issued by the Ministry of Public Works and allowed long-term residence in the concession.

The name on it read Bai Xiucai.

'Bai Xiucai?'

Zhang Yong looked at the other person askance.

Okay, it does kind of look like Xiucai.

He is pale and refined, and looks like a bad guy.

This guy definitely has problems.

Otherwise, he would not have been arrested and sent to Tilanqiao Prison, and then be brought up by Kagezo.

How could someone who is of interest to Kagezo be an ordinary person?

Therefore, Zhang Yong only needs to follow the list of people extracted by Kagezo and arrest them one by one, and he may be able to get a lot of benefits. Or information.

Yingzuo's selection can be trusted. Haha!

Zhang Yong brings the briefcase over. He finds that there are no banknotes inside. There are just a few blank sheets of paper.

To be precise, they are a few things that look like approval documents. There is a red heading. There is also a seal at the back. However, they are all in English. And there are also many super long words.

Look carefully. He finds that there are also some numbers on them. It looks like 7.63 mm or something. Is that the calibre of a bullet?

Hey, this white scholar is not simple! Selling arms?

Is Shozo Tadasu going to sell arms?

"This is...'

'Fake. Fake. Fake.'

'Fake?'

'Yes. Fake. Fake. Real. It's really fake...'

'Hmph!'

Zhang Yong waves his hand.

Really? Fake? We'll find out soon.

Shi Hu and the others drag Bai Xiucai away. Then there are a few short screams.

Before Zhang Yong can recover, Shi Hu drags Bai Xiucai back.

'I'll talk, I'll talk...'

'Go ahead.'

'These are forged documents from Yōsuke. I'm supposed to take them to the resistance. They want me to pick them up from the warehouse at the docks.'

'You're working for Yōsuke?'

'Yes. He promised to get me out of prison and let me infiltrate the resistance.'

'Infiltrate the resistance?'

'Yes.'

Bai Xiucai didn't dare lie.

In fact, he was really very good at lying.

If it was deceiving other people, he wouldn't bat an eyelid.

However, these guys in front of him, he knew he couldn't mess with them. They were ruthless people!

Each of them wore a black hood, only revealing two sinister eyes. He didn't know any of them. There was no way to lie to them.

If he said the wrong thing, he would encounter misfortune at any time.

Just now, he almost lost his life.

'Where are the anti-Japanese elements?'

'Xin Fengshang Clothing Store.'

'Take me there...'

'And you are...'

'We are from the Special Investigation Team of the British-run International Settlement. You can also call us the Secret Service.'

'Er...'

Bai Xiucai didn't dare ask any more.

He felt that the name had a very impressive ring to it. It was intimidating.

But he didn't know that it was a completely made-up name by Zhang Yong. When it came to deceiving people, Zhang Yong also had a certain level of accomplishment.

He took out the fake approval document.

What was Kagezo Sadamasa going to do? Arrest them all?

Or did he really place some weapons and ammunition inside to win the trust of the anti-Japanese elements?

Look carefully at the number on the document. It seems to be 1200?

1200 rounds of 7.63mm calibre rifle ammunition? How stingy. How mean.

1200 rounds of ammunition is not a bad gift.

You are dealing with the Police Commissioner of the Concession after all! Adding two zeros at the end would be more appropriate...

Suddenly, something strange seems to have happened.

It seemed as if there was a faint flash of white light. Then everything returned to normal.

Huh?

What's going on?

Zhang Yong looked left and right, but didn't notice anything unusual.

His gaze returned to the top of the document. It felt as if something was wrong. But it also felt as if nothing was wrong...

Never mind. Never mind.

He handed the document back to Bai Xiucai. Then he continued on.

He arrived near the Xin Fengshang Clothing Store.

There was only one proprietress inside the clothing store. She still had a lot of charm. He didn't see anyone else.

The map shows no yellow dots. Only white dots.

Obviously, this is not a base of the underground party. These anti-Japanese elements may have nothing to do with the underground party.

At that time, there were a lot of forces in Shanghai. Large and small, interlocking. You are in me, I am in you. The types of anti-Japanese elements are also very complicated. The underground party is just one of them. Apart from the underground party, there are also many anti-Japanese armed forces. For example, Wang Yachao is a typical example.

It doesn't matter what the origin of these anti-Japanese elements is.

As long as they are anti-Japanese elements, that's fine.

Since they are targeted by Kagezo, they must be a certain threat.

That's good.

You can do the reverse.

As long as they are targeted by Kagezo, you can pay special attention to them as well.

'Go!'

'Yes.'

Bai Xiucai obediently entered the clothing store.

He dared not be the least bit cunning or sneaky. He knew very well that the people behind him would want him dead.

Bai Xiucai went up and whispered with the proprietress for a while, then took out some documents from his briefcase and handed them to the proprietress of the tailor shop. The proprietress took them and looked at them carefully. Then she seemed to have discovered something very serious and looked at Bai Xiucai in surprise. Bai Xiucai took the documents back and then realised that something was wrong himself. He stood there as if he had been bewitched.

Soon, Bai Xiucai hurried out. He came to Zhang Yong. The proprietress looked outside carefully. But she didn't see Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong was hiding in the corner next to her, out of sight.

'What is it?'

'There's a problem with the document.'

'That's nonsense. It's fake. How can there not be a problem?'

'No...'

'The fake document has been discovered?'

'No...'

'Then what is it?'

'There's a problem with the number. 1200 has become 12000...'

'What?'

Zhang Yong took the fake document over with confusion.

Sure enough, the number on the top that he saw before was 1200. But now, it had become 12000.

Before, there were two zeros. Now there are three.

He checked again and again. He was sure he hadn't made a mistake. Now there were indeed three zeros on the document.

The original 1200 had become 12,000. It had become ten times the original!

Weird...

What on earth was going on?

Even a fake document couldn't be this strange, could it? Could the numbers change?

I don't understand...

'Where is the address on the bill of lading?'

'Warehouse 5 at the dock.'

'Let's go take a look.'

Zhang Yong decided to go check it out for himself.

Let's see how stingy this guy Kagezo is.

He headed for the dock.

The way was clear.

He soon found the weapons symbol.

It seemed to be Warehouse 5 at the dock.

He kept his composure.

There seems to be a bug in this map.

It will show a weapon sign for even a single bullet. No matter the quantity.

Open the warehouse.

Sure enough, it is full of boxes of porcelain.

All packed in boxes. The boxes are filled with dry straw. Used as a buffer.

There are a very large number of boxes in the huge warehouse. There are hundreds of them. Hiding a little ammunition in there would be a piece of cake.

'Where is the ammunition?'

'Over here.'

Bai Xiucai leads the way honestly.

Soon, they find a marked box. A circle is drawn in black paint on the outside.

The two men lift the box out. They push the straw aside. They remove a porcelain bowl that is padded on top. Beneath it is an ammunition box. They hug the ammunition box out. They open it. Sure enough, it is full of 7.63 mm rifle cartridges. The surface is a little yellowish. It seems to be a brass shell?

Look at the mark on the outside of the box. It happens to be 1200 rounds.

'Just this?'

'Yes...'

Bai Xiucai stammered in reply.

He felt that something was a bit strange. It seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Zhang Yong waved his hand. Follow the map and find the horse.

Find the second ammunition box. Carry it out. Put it on the ground. Open it.

It is full of golden bullets. The surface of the shell is very smooth. This indicates that its quality is excellent. It is much better than the quality of the previous box.

'No...'

Bai Xiucai felt that something was wrong!

Yingzuo Zhenzhao had clearly told him that there was only one box of bullets!

One box of bullets is 1,200 rounds!

The document says...

Pick up the document. Take a look. It says 12,000...

Confused...

Is it 1,200 or 12,000?

He clearly remembers that Yingzuo Zhenzhao's arrangement was indeed only one box...

Ah...

Suddenly, he saw another box being opened.

Inside were also golden bullets. They were also top-notch products. The quality was excellent.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but grab a handful and take a look.

Bullets of such high quality are hard to come by! The anti-Japanese fighters have made a fortune.

Continue searching...

In the end, all the ammunition boxes were found.

Together with the previous box, there were indeed 10 boxes. Each box contained 1,200 rounds. In total, there were 12,000 rounds.

Not a single one missing.

Nine of the boxes are of very high quality.

'What's going on?' Zhang Yong turned to Bai Xiucai.

'I really don't know...' Bai Xiucai was at a loss. 'Kagekado Akira clearly said there was only one box...'

'He told you there was only one box?'

'Yes.'

'He was probably trying to trick you.'

'Huh?'

'He told you there was only one box. But there are ten boxes. Think about it.'

'I...'

Bai Xiucai was at a loss for words.

Normally, his mind was quite quick. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a swindler!

But the strange changes in front of him really made him confused.

'Fine, call someone to move it.'

'Yes...'

Bai Xiucai hurriedly went to make the call.

Zhang Yong arranged for someone to hide all ten boxes of ammunition again. Hide it inside the porcelain boxes.

Ten porcelain boxes were carried out. Inside were hidden ammunition. They were placed by the door. Waiting for the anti-Japanese elements to come and carry them away. Then, Zhang Yong left Bai Xiucai in charge of liaising, while he himself hid with his men.

Half an hour later, someone arrived.

They arrived in a dilapidated truck. The truck was swaying.

On top of the truck were five people. One of them was Huang Dian. This completely reassured Zhang Yong. They were indeed anti-Japanese elements.

The yellow dot should still be a very ordinary member for the time being. However, as time goes by, he will certainly gradually come to the fore. And develop more yellow dots. Eventually, this anti-Japanese force will be integrated into one of the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the underground party.

There is no doubt about it.

The underground party is best at development.

All ten boxes of ammunition were taken away. The truck disappeared at the end of the road.

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Ten boxes of bullets, 12,000 rounds, might be able to do something.

Of course, that wasn't the point.

The point remained Kagezo Sadakazu. That cunning old fox.

Waving his hand,

Bai Xiucai hurriedly came over quickly.

'Apart from infiltrating the anti-Japanese elements, what other tasks do you have?'

'He didn't say...'

'Good. From now on, you start to infiltrate.'

'Sir...'

'We are investigating all kinds of evidence against Kagezo Shigeaki in secret. You will continue to go undercover as arranged by Kagezo Shigeaki. Then provide us with timely information.'

'Understood,'

Bai Xiucai agreed readily. He secretly felt gratified.

It turned out that this special investigation team was specifically targeting Kagezo Shigeaki.

Kagezo Shigeaki didn't know what he had offended...

He dismissed Bai Xiucai. Zhang Yong suddenly remembered the information provided by the Thirteen Demons. A shipment of arms is to be unloaded at the concession pier?

Good. In that case, there is no need to do anything else. Just wait here for the prey.

Once the arms arrive, we will intercept them immediately.

Suddenly, a large number of weapon symbols appear at the edge of the map.

There are more than a dozen red dots. There are also many white dots. And there is a yellow dot in between.

Check it out.

It turns out to be Yan Guangkun again.

Well, the Japanese invaders are a bit anxious! They can't wait to take the bait themselves.

It's late at night, and they are still walking around with Yan Guangkun.

It seems that they are eager for someone to rescue Yan Guangkun.

Okay, let's go and have a look...
