Chapter 473: The Bleeding Monster

Zhuyuan was a theatre.

At that time in Tianjin, it seemed that many people liked to go to the opera.

In particular, those rich merchants and local tyrants liked to set up theatres. They would hire a troupe of actors and put on performances to their liking.

Some liked pretty girls.

Some liked handsome young men.

From all the information, it seems that every opera house has its own leading actress.

Wang Zhulin's opera house is called Zhuyuan. The leading actress is Xiao Niangchun. I saw her at the café before.

I don't know how good she is at opera, but she is pretty.

In fact, most of the time, the newspapers in Tianjinwei carry all kinds of gossips. More than half of them are about the leading actresses of the opera houses.

Politics is complicated. It's easy to cross the line. You might get banned. It's safer to write about love and sex.

For ordinary people, politics is something they can't touch. Only gossip is available.

It was against this backdrop that the author of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' wrote his novel. It was a way of escaping from reality. He used the novel to anaesthetise himself. And anaesthetise the poor people.

Observing Zhu Yuan from afar.

Although Wang Zhulin is not here, the place is still heavily guarded.

The map shows at least fifty gun emblems inside, as well as at least seven small red dots. They are all Japanese.

It seems that Wang Zhulin is a bit timid. He didn't dare to come back to Zhuyuan.

He even went directly to the Japanese.

Did he have no confidence in Zhuyuan?

After all, he has more than 50 subordinates and seven Japanese thugs!

Was he scared off by the name Zhang Yong?

Haha, that's a sense of pride.

When the time comes, it will be awesome if his name can cure children's night crying.

He watched as Yoon Tae-shik's car entered Zhu Yuan. Subsequently, Zhu Yuan was closed off again. As the car entered, the defensive strength inside increased.

Assault?

No.

It would lead to heavy casualties.

Zhang Yong still treasured the lives of his subordinates very much.

There was nothing he could do about being ambushed.

If it wasn't an ambush, he hoped for zero casualties.

Now there was a problem. If Yin Taishi came, would Wang Zhulin return to Zhuyuan?

If the two had something to discuss, or to do business, would Wang Zhulin return, or would Yin Taishi go out? Hehe. He was sitting comfortably in his chair, and whoever took the bait would be fine.

He studied the map in silence, looking for the only way in and out of Zhuyuan. He found that there were many forks in the road outside.

If he wanted to block off Bamboo Garden, the only street he could do it on was the one in front.

When Bamboo Garden was built, Wang Zhulin only left two gates: one front gate and one side gate.

Now, the side gate was probably firmly locked. It would not be opened easily.

It would not be easy to force it open either.

But it didn't matter.

There was plenty of time.

As long as the front was blocked, sooner or later someone would appear.

Either Wang Zhulin.

Or Yin Taeseok.

He has already marked Yin Taeseok. Number 3. He knows everything Yin Taeseok does inside the bamboo garden.

After entering the bamboo garden, Yin Taeseok didn't immediately find a place to rest. Instead, he walked around. Seems agitated?

Perhaps he has something important to discuss with Wang Zhulin. But Wang Zhulin is not here.

What a fool. Can't he just call?

Maybe he already did. But they didn't come to an agreement?

Some things must be discussed face to face. You can't do that over the phone. The two of them must have had a disagreement.

Then come out!

Get out of there, now! I'll arrest you on the spot.

However, after waiting for an hour, Yoon Tae-shik never came out. Eventually, he just stopped moving inside the bamboo garden.

Is he sleeping?

And it looks like he's got a girl with him.

Damn it. It's so comfortable in there! I'm out here freezing my ass off.

'Hoo!'

'Hoo!'

There really is a northwesterly wind.

It's now considered winter, and the cold wind is howling.

Although it's not yet the coldest time of the year. But the thin Zhongshan suit is no longer sufficient. I need to add a sweater inside.

And gloves.

Not leather ones. Cotton ones are fine.

At the very least, I need to get some cloth ones.

In some spy dramas, the agents of the military intelligence all wear leather coats. Leather gloves. Leather boots. They look so dashing. So enviable.

In fact, they didn't even have any wool. They even had to prepare their own sweaters. The headquarters only had Mao suits.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong had money and prepared sweaters for everyone. For the time being, they could still be used.

Look around. They found a Wangjiang Tower nearby.

What a strange name. Where is the river around here? A sewer, perhaps? How dare they call it Wangjiang Tower?

Go in.

Go up to the second floor.

Book three rooms. Wait here.

Looking around, there is no trace of a river. What a name...

He shakes his head.

Order the food.

Get everything new on the menu.

First, call Wu Liuqi up here. Let him feast his heart out.

This guy charged hard in the previous battle. He must be properly rewarded.

Everyone else gets a bonus. Ten each. Those who have done their part get more. Wu Liuqi gets 30. He deserves it for charging in the front.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He noticed that there was actually a red dot quietly cutting into the map nearby.

At first, he didn't pay much attention. Then he discovered by accident that the red dot was actually heading towards Wangjiang Tower.

This was a coincidence.

Zhang Yong immediately deployed. Everyone lay low.

As it turned out, the red dot actually came up to the second floor private room.

The key point was that Zhang Yong recognised the other person.

The other person was in disguise. They had also changed their appearance. However, Zhang Yong really knew her very well.

Who?

The Nightingale.

Heiko Amakasu!

The headliner at the Night Club in the Sky in Shanghai.

The former mistress of Zhang Xiaolin?

In fact, she was a Japanese spy.

It is speculated that she may have been from the Japanese Special High School.

Later, Zhang Yong let her go. Unexpectedly, she came back.

This is really...

'Miss Nightingale,' Zhang Yong called directly.

'Who?' The nightingale was momentarily stunned. She subconsciously drew her gun. She was carrying a small pistol.

Then she saw Zhang Yong.

She also saw the many people around Zhang Yong. And a bunch of dark muzzles.

She suddenly went numb.

Her mind went blank. She didn't know what to think.

This ghost in the ground!

I really have encountered a ghost!

I have only just arrived in Tianjin, and he has already set his sights on me?

How is that possible...

How did he know I was coming to Tianjin?

and is still here waiting for her. Just waiting to catch her?

Damn it...

What kind of freak is he?

She has only just shown her face and he is already waiting for her. How can she live like this?

For a moment, she feels utterly disheartened and sits down with a thud. She has completely given up.

What's the point of resisting?

Everything is in someone else's hands.

In the end, he is your nemesis. Nothing you do will escape his grasp. What's the point of living?

Zhang Yong: ...

Why did she react so strongly?

It was just a coincidence. Is this really necessary? Acting like a woman?

But she actually put down her gun, so there was no need for him to make a big deal out of it.

First, let's ask her what she's doing here.

"Come in and sit down.'

He waved his hand. Ask her to come into the private room.

There might be other people in the hall. The private room is more private.

From the actions just now, it seems that the Nightingale doesn't want to be seen by others either. Otherwise, she wouldn't have specially disguised herself.

Nightingale sat down dejectedly.

Zhang Yong reached out and took her weapon away. Better safe than sorry.

Although it was a 6.5mm Browning M1906 pistol, it could kill someone at close range. Wounding was out of the question.

'What do you want? Whatever you want,' Nightingale said. Weak and feeble.

A little angry.

She felt that Zhang Yong had gone too far. He had arrested her as soon as she had shown her face.

He had not even given her the slightest opportunity.

'Why did you come back to Tianjin?' Zhang Yong asked curiously.

'To be arrested by you,' Nightingale was full of resentment.

She had been arrested on the Bund.

She had been arrested again when she came to Tianjin. What else could she do?

She might as well die.

Zhang Yong felt that something was wrong.

What was going on? What was Nightingale trying to do?

Love to death...

'What's wrong with you?' Zhang Yong asked curiously.

'You're asking me?' Nightingale responded angrily, 'You've got me, so what's the point?'

Zhang Yong: ...

Seems like there's been some kind of misunderstanding.

Although, there's nothing wrong with arresting her. But...

She really wasn't the target today. Besides, she's not going to be any use to him in the short term.

Since she's been exposed, she's no longer a threat.

If he were to make a list of his enemies, she would probably be ranked 100th or lower in terms of importance. She was in the category that could be ignored.

If she hadn't appeared in his line of sight again, he honestly would have forgotten about her.

Lin Xiaoyan was also the same, he had almost forgotten about her.

But she had appeared again.

'Actually, I don't know why you came...'

'Hmph!'

'What did you come here for?'

'You know very well.'

'You came to follow Yoon Tae-seok?'

'You still say you don't know? Hmph!'

'I...'

Zhang Yong was speechless.

So she was here to spy on Yoon Tae-seok!

That's why she was acting so suspiciously. And why she had changed her appearance. Yoon Tae-seok must know her.

After all, it was she who had ordered the hitman to try to kill him in Shanghai. The hitman had been at Yoon Tae-seok's villa. But the attempt had failed.

'I'm also spying on Yoon Tae-seok. He's come to Wang Tianmu's to discuss something.'

'There's been some movement in Korea.'

'So, your Special Highness Department sent someone to check it out?'

'More or less! Don't you know everything? Why are you asking me?'

'You might have got one thing wrong.'

'What?'

'Yin Taixi is Japanese. Not Korean.'

'Really?'

The Nightingale was taken aback.

She really wasn't in the know about this situation.

Yin Taixi is actually Japanese?

No. Wait.

What makes Zhang Yong say that he is Japanese? He is clearly a Korean. Okay.

'Impossible.'

'Believe it or not. He is Japanese.'

'Then...'

The Nightingale frowned.

Yin Taishi is actually Japanese.

How is that possible?

There is something fishy...

The information about Yin Taishi was reported by the Military Police Command.

If it's true, then they've done something. They deliberately concealed this from the Special High School. If they can conceal this kind of thing, then there must be even more that they've concealed.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but shake her head lightly.

It's really beyond the Special High School to monitor the military. It's simply impossible.

The military is armed. How can the Special High School monitor it?

The two sides are completely on different levels. The Special High School could be eliminated by the other party at any time, or...

annexed.

Zhang Yong said before that the Special High Police Bureau would be annexed by the military at some point. They would all be sidelined. I don't know if it's true or not. Now it seems very likely!

'There are still three months.'

'What?'

'In three months, the military will take over the Special High Police Bureau.'

'You...'

The nightingale was speechless.

Zhang Yong didn't explain. But it would all happen.

In fact, after the February 26th Incident, the military's power had skyrocketed. It finally broke free of its last restraints.

The cabinet was afraid of another bloody incident, and no one dared to defy the military. As a result, the military began to dominate everything. Everyone else had to stand aside.

The military said what was what. The cabinet didn't dare to oppose it.

How could they oppose it? Who would dare to oppose it? If you opposed it, you would be assassinated.

How many people died in the February 26th Incident?

Many of them had opposed the military in the past. In the end, they were all killed.

Where would anyone else dare to oppose it?

In the end, they simply let the military form the cabinet. They made Hideki Tojo the prime minister.

In a sense, the February 26th Incident started with bloodshed within the Japanese people, and then spread to all of Asia. And then to the Pacific Ocean.

The Japanese themselves were bleeding, like wounded beasts, attacking all living things around them like mad.

The war finally stopped when the blood of this monster had run dry.

'Prepare an escape route early!' Zhang Yong advised, 'Your military department won't want you women.'
