Chapter 209: I don't know!

Another phone call?

Who is it? Kintaro Nogaya?

Son of a bitch!

This guy, he just won't give up, will he?

Fine!

Grab the phone.

'Hagya!'

An angry yell came from the other end.

However, it wasn't Kintaro Nogaya's voice.

Zhang Yong frowned. Who is this guy?

He must be Japanese.

'Hagah! Who are you?' Zhang Yong shouted back.

Who cares, just fire back.

He's not going to put up with being yelled at by a Japanese.

'Tell Kintaro Notani to come to the Chuanxi Hall immediately! Hagah! Otherwise, I'm not done with him!'

The other person continued yelling.

The tone was very domineering.

Then he hung up.

Leaving Zhang Yong: ?

What's going on?

The other party specified that Kintaro Notani should go to the Kawanishi Hall?

What for?

A fight? The other party seems very dissatisfied.

Strange...

Who exactly is the other party?

From the tone of his voice, it seems that he knows Kintaro Notani.

Moreover, it seems that the other party and Kintaro Notani are of similar status. Otherwise, he would not have threatened him like that.

It also seems that there has been some kind of dispute between the two? The other party feels that he has suffered a loss? And wants to get even?

Haha, this is really getting off the point.

Should we meet? The answer is yes.

The other party has called here. This shows that they have a deep relationship with the Kuaiju authorities. They must also be Japanese spies.

If we catch the other party, we may have caught Kintaro Noya.

Of course, I will go myself.

The Kawanishi Hotel is Chinese territory, so he is not afraid.

First, let's take a look outside. If the situation is not right, we'll shake them up immediately.

'Zhongyang!'

'Here!'

'You continue with your work, I'm going out for a while.'

'Yes!'

Zhong Yang agreed.

Zhang Yong casually picked up two vases. He put them in the car.

Feeling that two were not enough, he went back and picked up two more. He picked all of them made of cloisonné. Only then did he drive out alone.

This was permitted by Boss Dai.

What does it mean to be given full authority? It means that you have to get yourself some benefits.

If Boss Dai takes some for himself, he definitely has to let the people below him take some too. This is what a qualified and outstanding leader is like.

If you don't take some, Boss Dai might still be a little worried.

If I take it and you don't, what are you going to do? Are you going to report me behind my back?

That would be the end of me.

So he took four vases in front of everyone.

He drove to Gu Mozhai first. He saw Gu polishing his worthless things again. So he stopped the car.

Gu didn't say anything when he saw Zhang Yong getting out of the car. They were now familiar strangers.

They didn't share the same views. Gu could never agree with Zhang Yong's approach.

Zhang Yong didn't care about him either. He just took two vases from the boot of the car, one in each hand, and carried them into Gu Mozhai.

Suddenly he noticed that the signboard of Gu Mozhai had been replaced. It had been changed to San Bao Zhai.

What the hell? What does this mean?

'Lao Gu, you...' Zhang Yong pointed at the signboard above.

'I changed it,' said Gu Mozhai expressionlessly. 'From now on, this is San Bao Zhai. I've also changed my name, it's Gu Yuting.'

'What's the meaning of this?'

'To completely sever my ties with the organisation. So you don't get any funny ideas and blow the whistle.'

'Do you really have to do this?'

Zhang Yong sulked and shut up.

So I've dragged you into this? Hmph. You're all high and mighty, so impressive.

But on second thoughts, it seems like this would be beneficial to both sides. I don't have to worry about so many things.

Even if I get caught one day, it'll just be Gu Mozhai who gets implicated.

Gu Mozhai is like me, an agent who started out late and is still a rookie. He really doesn't know when he'll fall into a pit, so he definitely can't have any burdens.

It's like how he's always afraid to meet his family. He's always worried about accidents.

'What are you doing here?'

'I want to show you two things. Look. They're both cloisonne vases.'

'Where did you get them?'

'I busted the hideout of the Japanese spy organisation, and there were countless antiques inside. Boss Dai himself picked out the most valuable ones. I took four vases as well.'

'You...'

Gu Mozhai was at a loss for words.

He had wanted to be more reserved. In the end, he couldn't hold back.

My goodness, this is a genuine cloisonné vase! It's a genuine article! He's an antique dealer, how could it be possible that he wouldn't be tempted?

The point is, this little guy said that it was left over after Boss Dai had picked it. If Boss Dai can take it, why can't I?

No. That's wrong. Zhang Yong himself delivered it. Anyway, I can't let the Fuxing Society get all of it!

They're all national treasures!

Sure enough, Zhang Yong said with regret, 'I only took four. Alas, what a loss. But I couldn't take more.'

Gu Mozhai felt the same way as Zhang Yong for the first time.

They were all good things!

Needless to say, if they fell into the hands of the Restoration Society, they would eventually end up in the hands of the dignitaries.

Who knows what will become of so many treasures in the end.

'Lao Gu, we're not selling these treasures. We'll collect them. A decade or so from now, we'll dedicate them to New China.'

'What did you say?'

'You heard me.'

'You...'

Gu Mozhai didn't know what to say.

Every time Zhang Yong spoke nonsense, he felt strange.

It couldn't be the same nonsense every time. But Zhang Yong's words never changed.

He always insisted that after more than ten years, a new China would be established.

He also said that the Red Party would achieve final victory.

It was really strange.

I, a member of the Red Party, didn't have such a firm belief.

You're a member of the Restoration Society, and you're saying this with such conviction?

That victory will be achieved in 14 years?

Really?

It's impossible no matter how you look at it...

To put it mildly, after the Red Army lost its base, it didn't even have a place to set its feet!

Victory?

It would be good enough to preserve the spark of the revolution.

But...

For some reason, he was also inspired.

The other person spoke so confidently, perhaps it really was time for good fortune?

'Gu, what are you doing just standing there?'

'Nothing...'

'Think I'm talking nonsense again?'

'...'

Gu Mozai was silent.

Yes. He did feel that way.

Zhang Yong smiled.

He didn't bother to explain.

ADVERTISEMENT

To predict the future now would indeed be shocking.

He'd better shut up!

Zhang Yong put the vase down and went to fetch the other two. He placed them carefully. Then he clapped his hands. He left.

He still has to go to the Sichuan Western Club.

Behind him, Gu Mozhai is still pondering.

After more than ten years? Can New China really be established?

Does that mean he will actually have the chance to see it?

After more than ten years, it doesn't seem like it's that far away...

Zhang Yong drives to the Sichuan Western Club.

It is located in the east of Jinling City, near the Zhenjiang side. It is in a relatively remote area.

After entering for 150 metres, he immediately scans for a red dot.

Sure enough, there is a Japanese person.

Parked the car. Entered the restaurant. It was actually a restaurant. The lobby was on the first floor. The private rooms were on the second floor.

It was just dinner time, and there were many guests in the restaurant. The waiters were busy.

Zhang Yong looked around, and his target was on the second floor.

He didn't see anyone else around.

He went up to the second floor. He locked onto his target. It was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a silk robe. He looked like a businessman. He didn't look impressive.

He walked straight over. In the suspicious gaze of the other person, he sat down straight away.

'Sorry, please change your seat.'

'Did you just call me?'

'You...'

The other person's expression immediately changed.

Subconsciously, his eyes flashed as he surveyed Zhang Yong's entire body.

Zhang Yong didn't care. He could look all he wanted.

The other person didn't have a gun.

Haha. Without a gun, he wasn't afraid.

If the other person turned on him, he would just shoot him dead. He had some confidence in that.

Anyway, the other party is a Japanese spy. Just kill him.

'Who are you?' The rich businessman realised that Zhang Yong's identity was wrong.

'I'm not from the Japanese secret service,' Zhang Yong said honestly, 'if you're not confident, you can leave now.'

'Who are you really?' The rich businessman was indeed a little nervous.

He kept looking around.

But he didn't notice anything wrong.

Zhang Yong hadn't brought anyone else with him. Naturally, there was nothing unusual.

After observing for a long time and making sure there were no traps, the rich businessman slowly let his guard down.

'You answered the phone?'

'Yes.'

'You didn't report it to Kintaro Nogaya?'

'No.'

'Why not?'

'I couldn't find him.'

'Hagya...'

the rich businessman cursed subconsciously.

Then he realised that something was wrong. He quickly shut up. Then he looked at Zhang Yong again.

He found that Zhang Yong looked unimpressed. There seemed to be a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

The rich businessman was a little angry. And completely relieved.

With that kind of expression, he definitely wasn't an enemy.

The other party might simply be there to laugh at him. Kintaro Nogaya was cunning as hell.

These scum from the Aoi Agency!

He was 100% certain that the other party had been sent by Kintaro Nogaya.

The excuses about not reporting anything and not being able to find him were all just that – excuses.

You can answer the phone in that location, and you still claim you're not from the Aoi Agency? Who are you trying to fool?

If you're not from the Aoi Agency, how could you have appeared in such a secret location?

Get out. Kintaro Nogaya was being so disrespectful.

It's fine if he doesn't show up himself. But he sends someone to play dumb and fool me.

Hagah!

He's not someone to be fooled!

This score must be settled! Otherwise, he will take the case to the military police headquarters!

"What's your name?'

'Zhao Yulun.'

'Oh, so you're Boss Zhao. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.'

'You...'

Zhao Yulun felt even more indignant.

He could tell that the other party was obviously just paying him lip service! They didn't take him seriously at all.

What a pleasure, what a pleasure, what a load of crap.

Damn it!

The Japanese authorities are getting more and more outrageous. They just send anyone here and they're so arrogant!

'My name is Li Wei,'

Zhang Yong made up a random identity.

It wasn't appropriate to say that he was Zhang Yong from the Fuxing Society.

It wasn't appropriate to say that he was Liu Heizi either. So he just made something up.

Li Wei, it sounded like just a random person. Perfect.

'I don't care who you are, I'm going to ask you one thing: where is Kintaro Nogata?'

'I don't know.'

'Baka! You find him right now. I want to speak to him face to face!'

'I don't know.'

'Baka! If you don't find him, you'll be responsible for the consequences.'

'I don't know.'

'Baka, you!'

Zhao Yulun's blood pressure soared with anger.

He was infuriated by this Liwei in front of him. At the same time, he was convinced that Liwei was doing it on purpose.

It must have been Kintaro Noguchi who gave the order.

The goal was to make him lose his temper.

But!

He would never fall for it!

If things were not resolved today, he would take it straight to the top.

'I will say this for the last time...'

'I don't know!'

'Damn it! In that case, I will not be polite. I ask you, why did you only give 5,000 when it was agreed that it would be 18,000!'

'I don't know.'

'You've gone too far. You've taken so much! Fifteen thousand was already outrageous, but you only gave me five thousand!'

'I don't know.'

'Baka!'

'I don't know!'

'You...'

Zhao Yulun exploded with anger once again.

If there weren't other people around, he would have exploded long ago.

No matter what he said, the other party would just say the same thing: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What kind of attitude is this?

Ahhh...

He's going to kill Kintaro Nogaya!
