Zhang Yong closed his eyes to rest.
He didn't bother with the madness of Takekawa Kumazo.
He wasn't going to get any information out of Takekawa Kumazo either. Interrogation was not his strong point.
Strictly speaking, he really didn't know anything.
Except for beating people up.
Who is Takeshi Kawakami? He is an agent of the Nan Agency.
He is excellent at everything.
He is also a seventh-degree karate black belt!
If you take this guy's handcuffs and shackles off and let him rush out, a hundred Zhang Yong are not enough to fight.
Facing such a master, there is no mention of any confrontation.
He is completely no match.
What do you know? Seventh-degree black belt in beating people up!
"Baka...'
Takeshi Kawakami gradually quieted down.
Because he realised that no matter how furious he acted, the other party would remain unmoved.
The Chinese man outside the cell seemed completely different from what he had imagined. The other party probably could not communicate using normal thinking at all.
Damn it!
It was the other party who had arrested him.
This terrible truth made his mind resist at all times. It was driving him mad.
'Who are you?'
'My name is Zhang Yong, my style name is Shaolong...'
'How long have you been in the Restoration Society?'
'Four months...'
'Hah! No way! No way! Absolutely not!'
Takemoto Takekawa is getting agitated again.
Four months?
Ahhh, it feels like my dignity is once again being scattered all over the floor.
Zhang Yong: ...
Silence. The main thing is sincerity.
You ask, I answer. I answer with the truth. If you can't handle it, there's nothing I can do.
It's true that I've only been in the Restoration Society for a little over four months.
'You're lying to me!'
'I have no reason to lie to you...'
'Hagah! Impossible! How could a rookie like you catch me!'
'I don't know. Could it have been a fluke?'
'Hagah!'
Kumao Takeshige is having another fit.
There's nothing he can do. The more Zhang Yongyu is honest, the more he can't stand it.
He is the Empire of Japan's best secret agent...
Well, one of the best.
His talents in every field are unparalleled.
In karate, he is even more exceptional.
He can kill a cow with one punch!
He felt good about himself. He felt that no one in the world could catch him.
The Chinese were even less likely to do so.
Who knew. He had actually been caught. And by a rookie at that. The other guy had only been in the Fuxing Society for four months!
Hagya...
He couldn't accept it. His thoughts were once again becoming confused.
'Clang!'
'Clang!'
Kumazo Takegawa desperately banged his head against the bars. As if he wanted to use his head to break the iron wolf.
His head was in a terrible mess. It looked like a tangled ball of string.
He was not willing to accept this. But there was no way out. He was on the verge of madness.
He felt like he would really go crazy the next moment.
He had to slam his head against the bars. That would make him come to his senses.
Of course, that was absolutely impossible. The bars were made of iron as thick as a man's arm. An ordinary person could never break them. Not even bend them. This cell was specially reinforced.
Apart from the reinforced cell, there are at least five iron doors outside the cell. No amount of strength could force them open.
In a corner, there is also a switch. You can let water in directly. And then flood the entire cell.
It's called a water cell. It really is a water cell. It's just that the water hasn't been let in yet.
'Clang!'
'Clang!'
Zhang Yong began to close his eyes again to rest his mind.
Crash. Crash. Crash. It will be quiet when you've had enough. Don't scream all day. Aren't you tired?
Suddenly, Kumazo Takegawa stopped banging. His eyes were blazing.
'Who betrayed me?'
'Don't you already know?'
'Baka! I want you to say it!'
'I won't say it!'
'Baka! I'll kill you!'
Kumazo Takegawa became agitated again. He slammed against the iron bars with all his might.
He felt his head throbbing with pain, and he was on the verge of madness.
Zhang Yong ignored him. He closed his eyes again to relax.
He had nothing to do anyway. He might as well come here to cultivate his state of mind.
Looking at the time, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning...
'What exactly did you use to lure Kitakata Taro and Kikuta Yosuke?'
'They lost the secret letter that Kagezawa Sadaaki gave them. And the secret letter happened to be in my hands. So, I made a deal with them.'
Zhang Yong was honest.
After all, sincerity was the ultimate technique!
The other party was definitely going to be executed. It didn't matter if you told the other party the truth.
'Hagya...'
Takegawa Kumazo was stunned.
For a secret letter, he was betrayed?
Hagya...
Impossible. Impossible. Impossible...
Am I not worth a secret letter? How could the two of them... How could the two of them...
'You lied to me!'
Takegawa Kumazo suddenly became irritable.
He clutched the bars of the cell with both hands and reached out as if he wanted to grab Zhang Yong.
Of course, this was impossible.
Zhang Yong was more than ten metres away from the other man. He would never go near him.
The other man was a seventh-degree karate black belt, after all.
He tilted his head.
He looked at the other man with a caring, intellectual look in his eyes.
I have told you the truth. If you refuse to believe it, there is nothing I can do.
'Baka...'
'Baka...'
Takemoto Kumazo suddenly fell into despair.
He had to accept a cruel reality. What the other party had told him was the truth.
A secret letter.
He really had been betrayed by a secret letter.
Hokkō Tarō and Kikuta Yōsuke had decisively chosen to betray him in order to protect themselves from punishment!
Damn it...
How could this be?
It was all the secret agents of the Empire of Japan...
How could they...
'Oh, I didn't tell them that I was a secret agent of the Restoration Society.'
'Nani?'
'I made up another identity in front of them. Liu Heizi. A gangster from Shanghai. Trying to make a name for himself in Jinling.'
'You...'
Takemoto finally collapsed and fell back. Then he sat down on the ground, exhausted.
I understand. I understand. It was all a trap.
Kitakata and Kikuta, they may or may not have known. But they still betrayed him.
'Did you send back the secret letter?'
'Yes.'
'You...'
'I'm a man of my word. I always keep my promises. They gave me the person, and I gave them the secret letter. A fair deal, no cheating!'
'But they betrayed me!'
Takenori Takekawa suddenly became angry again.
Then he was looked at by Zhang Yong with a caring look for the mentally handicapped. And then he broke down.
Yes, they betrayed him.
Zhang Yong got the credit. Kitakata Taro and Kikuta Yosuke got the secret letter.
They both won.
He was the only one who lost.
Damn it!
You're not being nice, so I'm not going to be nice either. I'm going to...
'I'm leaving!'
'Wait! Wait! Wait!'
Takegawa Kumazo called out urgently. However, Zhang Yong was still walking towards the exit.
It was almost time. It had been more than half an hour. He was tired just standing there. He couldn't stand the other person's shouting, and the echoing sound in the underground dungeon.
The air in the dungeon was not good either. He needed to get some fresh air.
'I have information!'
'I have information!'
Wu Chuan Xiong San shouted out in a panic.
Zhang Yong continued walking outwards. He walked a full ten metres before gradually coming to his senses.
Huh? What did the other person say? Information? What information?
Sweat, I must have heard it wrong.
Definitely heard it wrong.
How could the other person confess when they were so cocky?
Even if you beat the other person to death and tear them into 18,000 pieces, the other person still won't confess...
Let's go. The dungeon stinks.
I forgot. There's shit in here. It hasn't been disposed of at all.
The water dungeon is underground. It's actually a basement. Air circulation is slow. There's no electric light either. Just a gas lamp hanging from the wall. There's no listening device installed either.
Crap...
I feel like I'm suffocating...
Ugh...
Step faster...
'I have information!'
'I have information!'
Takemoto rushed and shouted.
He could see it. Zhang Yong was really running towards the outside. He wasn't even looking back.
That won't do. He can't go. He wants revenge.
He wants to get rid of the two bastards, Kitakata Taro and Kikuta Yosuke! He wants them both to come down and die with him!
Traitor!
Traitor!
Take a betrayer, and Kumazo Takekawa will show him no mercy.
If you want to die, we'll all die together. No one gets to live!
'I have information!'
'I have information!'
Takegawa Kumazo screamed desperately. Hysterical. His voice was hoarse.
Finally, Zhang Yongzhe returned.
He covered his nose with his hand. He looked at the other person with disgust.
Come on, big brother, you're going to die soon, what's the point of information. Wouldn't it be better to be strong? Leave a decent...
'I have important information...'
'I'm sorry. I'm not interested in information.'
'You...'
'I'm only interested in money.'
'What?'
'Do you have any money? If not, shut up!'
'You...'
Kumazo Takegawa was stunned.
Really. He had never imagined that the other person's thinking was so corrupt. On such an important occasion, all they could talk about was money?
Hagah!
As an agent, how can you only have money in your eyes?
Hagah!
Even if you are Chinese, you cannot be so degenerate!
After all, I was the one who captured you. If you have no class, how will I not lose face? Hagah! You must be a good agent!
It is forgivable for an outstanding agent to fall into the hands of another outstanding agent.
'Baka! Money will corrupt your soul!'
'What?'
Zhang Yong was also shocked.
Damn it, this damned Japanese spy. He actually lectured him seriously.
Baka!
Does my soul need to be corrupted?
What nonsense!
Turn around and leave.
'Wait, I have money, I have money...' Wukawa Kumazo hurriedly called out.
Suddenly, he felt that he still had hope.
If the other party really liked money that much, he could use money to get someone to do something for him.
'How much?' Zhang Yong's eyebrows didn't even twitch.
A few hundred taels of silver is not worth mentioning. I don't care. I don't even bother to go.
It seems that your Nan agency is not very wealthy either.
'Fifty thousand!'
'Fifty thousand!'
Wu Chuan Xiong III hurriedly said.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and looked at the other party, then turned around and left.
Do you really think I'm an idiot?
Would I fall for that?
Fifty thousand?
You're not worthy of it.
You're not even worth fifty thousand!
"Really!'
'Fifty thousand!'
'Really!'
'If I'm lying, may I never enter the shrine...'
Takemoto swore hastily.
Zhang Yong immediately turned around and came back.
Well, that's a good oath. I believe it.
Takemoto...
Shit!
Do I really have to tell?
Damn it...
That's the Nan Agency's operating funds!
If it falls into this guy's hands, the activities of the Nan Agency in the future may be affected.
The problem is, if he doesn't say anything, no one else will know about the money. Because he is secretly keeping it. Even the head of the agency, Moriguchi Muta, doesn't know.
Tell? Don't tell? Tell? Don't tell?
Suddenly, he saw Zhang Yong's eyes again. It was as if he was doubting his intelligence again...
Damn it!
He was suddenly irritated.
You're a rookie agent. How dare you not trust me?
Baka!
I'll show you right now that even if I'm arrested, I can still kill you!
Not only will I kill you, but I'll also kill Kitakata Taro and Kikuta Yosuke!
Anyone who betrays me must die!
Anyone who arrests me must also die!
It's worth it to send them all to hell with 50,000 taels of silver!
'Go to the Listening to the Snow Building.'
'There's a storyteller inside. Every day he tells the story of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty.'
'When you get there, tell him you've come to collect the money stored by Kitakata Taro and Kikuta Yosuke. He'll naturally give it to you,'
said Takekawa Kumazo.
Zhang Yong was half-believing.
Was it really that simple?
Takekawa Kumazo hurriedly swore repeatedly that what he had said was true.
Hagah!
Prepare to die! Moron!
By mentioning the names of Kitakata Taro and Kikuta Yosuke, he was actually telling the other party that these two were traitors.
After getting their names, the Kusano organisation will immediately retaliate.
These two sons of bitches definitely won't live past 24 hours!
Also killed will be Zhang Yong.
As soon as he arrives at Tingxue Building, someone nearby will take care of him.
'You lied to me.'
'Really, I didn't lie to you. I swear.'
'Is the 50,000 taels of silver in the form of a banknote or actual silver?'
'Actual silver?'
'Where is it being kept?'
'It's at Tingxue Building.'
'How can I take it alone?'
'What's there not to take?'
'Fifty thousand taels of silver weighs 2,000 catties. How can I take it?'
'I...'
'Don't take me for an idiot.'
'I...'
Wu Chuan Xiong San vomits blood.
He suddenly realises that he seems to be a bit mentally handicapped after all.
Even if the other person is a rookie agent, this is such a stupid method that they can't possibly fall for it. After all, other people also have brains, right?
This was rash...
He hurriedly explained, 'It's actually a silver note. A silver note. A silver note...'
'Which bank?'
'Fenghui Bank.'
'Fenghui Bank doesn't have a branch in Jinling at all.'
'Oh, it's Citibank.'
'Actually, Fenghui Bank has a branch in Jinling, but Citibank doesn't.'
'Then it's Fenghui Bank.'
'In fact, there really is no Fenghui Bank in Jinling. There's only Citibank.'
'I...'
Wuchuan Xiong III suddenly froze.
He was done for. He couldn't fool the other party.
What should he do?
Well, he was in a difficult situation, so he could only go for broke.
'It's not the Xue Xue Lou. I remembered it wrong. It's the Jin Fu Ren Ying Lou. Go there and tell the boss that a Mr. Ryu Kawana from the Snow Country wants to retrieve something he stored there.'
'What about the password?'
'There is no password.'
'If I can't get it, I'll beat you up when I come back.'
'I...'
Kumazo Takekawa gritted his teeth.
Damn it! This Chinese guy is so hard to fool.
Damn it, he wants money!
Amaterasu-Omikami curse you!
He had no choice but to say angrily, 'The password is Musashi.'
Zhang Yong nodded.
He turned around and left.
Did he believe the other party's words? Of course not. So, he immediately went to verify.
If he got the money, it was real.
If he didn't get it, it was fake.
He walked out of the dungeon and found that Mao Renfeng was no longer there.
He went back to his office. He sat down. He saw Yang Zhi. So he waved him in.
'Captain!'
'Have the weapons been distributed?'
'They have all been distributed. Secretary Mao specifically ordered that we be given five extra Thompson submachine guns.'
'What about ammunition?'
'Captain. There is also enough ammunition. Three magazines for the pistols. Three magazines for the Thompsons. And 30 grenades.'
'What about vehicles?'
'Three cars. Three trucks. All in place.'
'Are there enough drivers?'
'We all know how to drive. There are enough.'
'Good. Gather the team. Prepare for the mission.'
'Yes!'
Yang Zhi immediately went excitedly.
They had heard about what was going on outside. They were just waiting for Zhang Yong's order.
Zhang Yong picked up the phone and called Mao Renfeng.
'Secretary Mao, I'm ready for the mission.'
'Bring enough people.'
'I'll bring the whole team.'
'Good. Be careful.'
'Yes.'
Zhang Yong hangs up the phone.
He pulls out a drawer. From it, he takes out a Browning M1935 pistol.
It's the one Li Boqi gave him. He's always used this one.
He stands up. He inserts the pistol. He walks out of the office.
Outside, on the playground, the team has already assembled. More than 50 people. Not a single one missing.
The security of the office area has been handed over to the military. All of them, the secret agents, are available for action. More than fifty people can do a lot.
'Go to Zhongshan 7th Road. Mrs. Jin's photography studio.'
'Yes!'
Zhang Yong waved his hand. The team set off.
