Chapter 52: Drawing a gun

Li Jingzhi suddenly knelt in front of Zhang Yong.

After all, she was not completely stupid. In the midst of her panic, she also realised that Zhang Yong was not her enemy.

Otherwise, he would not have treated her like this. He would have simply forced a confession.

He had rescued her from her enemies.

He was not a bad person!

Ah...

He is not a bad person.

After realising this, she felt a sudden sense of relief.

Zhongyang happened to enter just then. He had something to report. Seeing Li Jingzhi kneeling before Zhang Yong, he looked strangely. He wanted to say something but stopped.

'It's fine. Your sister-in-law knows she was wrong. What is it?'

'Reporting to the captain, Cen Jinfu is dead.'

'How did he die?'

'Everyone didn't notice at once, and the torture was too harsh, resulting...'

'I know. Go!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand. He didn't care. He was just a small character.

He didn't need to follow the clues. Therefore, there was no need to take a statement from Cen Jinfu. Whether the other person died or not didn't matter.

These Japanese spies all had tough mouths. It was hard to pry open. Just get rid of them.

If they died, it would save food and medicine.

'Yes.'

Zhong Yang turned and left.

Li Jingzhi subconsciously bit her lips.

She didn't know who Cen Jinfu was. She only knew that someone had been killed by Zhang Yong's men. The reason was that the torture was too harsh.

It can be imagined how cruel the punishment was. If this person was her...

'Get up and speak!' Zhang Yong slowed down his tone.

'I, I went to see Boss Fang...' Li Jingzhi bit her lips and said carefully.

When she said the words Boss Fang, she knew she had become a traitor.

Her only hope was that Zhang Yong was a good person.

'What do you want with him?'

'I'm... I'm scared, and I want to find him.'

'Scared of what?'

'I don't know. I just feel scared.'

'You know who he is?'

'I joined the reading club at his place, and then became an activist...'

'That's enough. No need to say any more.'

Zhang Yong frowned. He told her to sit down. He didn't want to ask any more questions.

The Huai Zhou bookstore had already been exposed. If he were the Party Affairs Investigation Office, he would immediately send someone to arrest them, and he would definitely be able to catch a bunch of them.

They even organised a book club!

They just need to arrest everyone on the list. It won't even be a stretch.

He silently reached out and tapped the table.

He'd even picked up Li Boqi's bad habit.

It was true that it was hard to learn good habits, but it was easy to pick up bad ones.

'You, you want to arrest the Japanese spies, not them, right?' Li Jingzhi bit her lip, still clinging to the last shred of hope.

'You'd better think about yourself!' Zhang Yong snapped back, 'I'll find you a cell to stay in. Do some soul-searching.'

He wasn't just saying it. He really did arrange a single-person cell for her.

She had to calm down properly.

At the same time, this was also the safest place.

No matter how capable the Party Affairs Investigation Office was, it would be impossible to arrest someone here.

Back in the office.

The phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the receiver. It was Pei Xue calling.

'Sister, brother-in-law...'

'Speak.'

'Teacher Li has disappeared...'

'I've already arrested her and put her in jail.'

'Huh?'

'You two hurry home. Don't hang around outside if you're not doing anything.'

'Oh...'

Without waiting for Pei Xue to continue, Zhang Yong hung up the phone. Then he came to see Li Boqi.

Li Jingzhi's fate was actually in Li Boqi's hands. It had been that way from the beginning. With Li Boqi's keen sense, he had long since noticed Li Jingzhi's unusual behaviour.

However, Li Boqi had no intention of doing anything to her.

Was it simply out of kindness?

Haha.

If you think about it, wasn't it also strengthening his control over her?

He, Zhang Yong, had an extra red element at his side. His identity could be exposed at any time. Once it was exposed, he, Zhang Yong, would definitely be affected.

Don't forget, the initial mission of the Lixing Society was actually to catch the Red Party.

Even now, catching the Reds is still the main task. Only two action teams have been deployed to the Songhu area to catch Japanese spies. The Li Xing Society's Secret Service has a total of eight action teams.

Under these circumstances, it is natural for Zhang Yong to be completely devoted to Li Boqi. If he betrays Li Boqi, this bomb will immediately go off. And it will blow him to smithereens.

Is he capable of rebelling?

Not yet.

He doesn't even have a chance to escape single-handedly.

Because he hasn't made any preparations. He doesn't even have a safe house. And he doesn't have a fake identity.

'Huh?'

He vaguely senses that something is wrong again.

The thing that Li Boqi has been urging him to do seems like it could be very helpful in escaping!

You see, informants...

ADVERTISEMENT

As long as you have informants, you have a secret network. You can use it for emergency hiding if necessary.

And with a secret network, you can of course get a safe house.

If you develop one or two police officers from the household registration department as informants, it is also very easy to make a few fake documents.

Weird...

Is Li Boqi teaching himself to escape?

Or is he teaching himself to survive? Preparing for the Sino-Japanese war in the future?

Maybe both?

Decided to go out for a while.

Go and check out that Huaizhou Bookstore. If the person is still there, tell him to run quickly.

Drive out of the house.

Didn't go directly to Huaizhou Bookstore.

Instead, he parked three blocks away and then made his way there in a zigzag pattern.

As a result, just as he was approaching Huaizhou Bookstore, he discovered the hidden spies. Without asking, he knew they were definitely from the Party Investigation Department. They had already discovered Huaizhou Bookstore.

This was a bit of a problem.

There were actually four spies. And they were all armed.

There might also be hidden surveillance points from the Party Investigation Department nearby. They were keeping a close eye on Huaizhou Bookstore.

The situation was critical.

If Boss Fang is arrested, he may give up Li Jingzhi.

At that time, in order to avoid giving the Party Affairs Investigation Department a reason to attack, the Li Xing Club may have to deal with Li Jingzhi internally.

In other words, a beautiful woman will perish.

What a pity...

Draw your gun.

Nothing else. Just draw your gun and do it.

Once the gun goes off, Boss Fang should become alert. He will either run or die.

Well, that's just the way it is.

If Boss Fang senses that something is wrong, he might as well end it decisively.

Take a deep breath.

Try to calm yourself. Take out the Colt M1911 pistol.

It's a black gun. It uses 11.43 mm bullets. The gun is definitely untraceable. The bullets are definitely untraceable too. It's perfect for shooting black guns.

Good!

Let's do it!

Fade in quietly.

He sees two surveillance agents.

They're the ones.

Due to time constraints, he can only kill two.

As soon as the gun goes off, he must run. Escape as fast as he can. Otherwise, the Party Affairs Investigation Department will catch up with him.

'Bang!'

Fires decisively.

The agent falls to the ground.

The distance was 30 metres. An accurate hit. But whether he is dead or not, he doesn't know.

'Bang!'

Zhang Yong continues to fire.

Hits the second agent. Also a hit. Unable to tell whether he is dead or not.

He turns around and runs.

He puts the Colt M1911 pistol away in his space.

He quickly gets into the car.

He speeds forward.

Suddenly, his eyes flicker. The map shows a red dot.

Japanese?

Subconsciously, he drives after it. He sees a black sedan in front of him.

Judging from the map, the Japanese spy should be in this black sedan. Of course, there may be other people in the black sedan.

It vaguely looks familiar. Then he remembers. Isn't this a Steppenwolf?

My God!

We've struck gold!

It's the same car again!

The person inside is definitely the Japanese spy!

If we can catch this Stepponk, we'll get countless more.

If the person inside is really Wang Defa, his company will be finished. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit every year. We could buy several Stepponks.

He quickly pulled over. He looked for a phone to call Li Boqi.

'Have you seen Wei Yong?'

'No.'

'It's a trick! We've been tricked!'

'What?'

'Wei Yong and his men got on the wrong car. There are two Steampunks!'

'Then I'll arrest them!'

'Be careful!'

Li Boqi ordered. At the same time, he sent out a reinforcement team.

Zhang Yong hung up the phone. He casually threw a dollar coin as a fee. Then he drove quickly to catch up.

Fortunately, he managed to catch up. He overtook the car. He cut it off at an angle.

He got out of the car.

He took out his gun.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

He fired into the air.

It was necessary. He smelled gunpowder.

If he didn't shoot now, there would be no way to explain the smell of gunpowder.

The Steampunk slowed down.
