Chapter 45: Brother-in-law

'Baka!'

'Damn Chinese!'

'Bastard!'

Iwakusa Mataji was furious.

The Sanwa Trading Company had been attacked. It was definitely the work of the Chinese.

Most likely the agents of the Lixingshe.

This organisation had been targeting the Japanese recently. It had dealt a huge blow to the Japanese espionage organisation.

However, the Japanese spies who were captured were not on Iwasaku's line. He was a latecomer. There was no longer any chance to set up an early trap. So the most violent method was used: direct robbery.

The opium and the fiat currency of the Ministry of Finance were all deployed by Iwasaku Mataji. The previous plan was perfect.

But then a spy from the Rikkosha Bureau appeared and messed everything up.

They only managed to get half of the opium back. They also lost several people. The legal tender was also returned. He also lost several people.

Even his right-hand man, Fumio Kishida, was detained by the Chinese concessionary government. They were reluctant to release him.

He was annoyed. He wanted to kill everyone with a single sword.

However, in the end, he had to face the harsh reality.

Sanwa Trading was finished.

The opium had been burned.

The losses were huge.

What's more...

He had also received a 50,000-dollar deposit from the buyer!

Now, the opium is gone, and so is the deposit. Even the valuable goods in the Sanhe Trading Company are all gone.

Not only did he not make any money, he also had to pay out.

The buyer cannot get the opium, and he has already paid the deposit. How can he let it go?

He vomited blood...

'Baka!'

'Baka!'

Iwaku Mataji spun around angrily.

He finally stopped. His eyes were full of murderous intent. He was about to unleash his ultimate move.

The Secret Service of the Lixing Society, right?

He was determined to teach the other party a lesson.

...

Yihe Road, Zhang's residence.

Zhang Yong happily got up from Pei Lan.

It felt good.

Women who are willing to please you in every way are great.

Unfortunately, Pei Xue wasn't there. He had to eat alone. Otherwise, with a double set meal, that beauty...

'You don't have to work today?'

'Slacking off.'

Zhang Yong spoke frankly.

He was indeed goofing off. He just didn't want to go to Hangzhou.

Li Boqi didn't try to force him either.

Apparently, Li Boqi was also silently protesting against Xuan Tiewu's bullying.

So what if you're a founding member of the Lixing Club? You can't go too far.

You want help, but you don't want to pay.

It feels like you can't spare the effort to entertain even one more person. How could Zhang Yong possibly be safe on his own journey to Hangzhou?

It is still impossible to tell whether the Japanese spy chief has already discovered Zhang Yong's special abilities.

If he has, he will definitely try every means to eliminate him.

He will not take the risk of sending Zhang Yong out.

Director Dai also has to be careful with such a special agent.

So, he simply told Zhang Yong to pretend to be injured and go home to recuperate. He was injured in a previous battle. Internal injuries.

Anyway, according to Li Boqi, injuries can be made to appear out of thin air.

Before he left, Li Boqi also told Zhang Yong to take a portable camera with him. And a watch. As a reward. He could use it for personal use.

'Where did Pei Xue go?'

'She went to hang out with friends.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong didn't care.

Pei Xue was young and must like to go out and play.

In fact, Pei Lan was not that old either. She was just in her early twenties. It was the best time of her life.

'Ding-dong!'

'Ding-dong!'

Suddenly the phone rang.

Pei Lan was lying on the sofa and didn't have the energy to get up. She motioned to Zhang Yong to answer the phone himself.

Zhang Yong lazily picked up the receiver.

'Sister, sister...' came the terrified voice of Pei Xue from the other end of the line.

'What is it?' Zhang Yong asked nonchalantly.

Although he had only travelled back in time for a little over a month, his mentality had almost completely changed.

From being scared to death at the sight of a gun at the beginning, he had now come to deeply understand the role of the tiger skin that was the Li Xing Club's Secret Service Division.

How should I put it?

As long as you don't provoke those big shots, you'll be fine.

Boss Dai is very protective. As long as you're not particularly in the wrong. It's impossible for the Li Xing Club to admit they're in the wrong.

To say the Li Xing Club is in the wrong would be to say Boss Dai is in the wrong?

No way.

Unless the school principal personally steps in.

Someone's trying to do Pei Xue harm?

Haha, who's got the guts?

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

'Am I your brother-in-law? What do you want to call me?'

'Master...'

'What is it?'

'The police want to arrest us...'

'Why?'

'We were eating out when someone came and harassed Teacher Li. Teacher Li slapped him, and then, then, he...'

'Where?'

'At the Xiyuan Restaurant.'

'I see. Your sister and I will go over there and take a look.'

'Oh, good, good, I'll wait for you. Hurry. Hurry...'

The phone was hung up.

Zhang Yong was in no hurry. He put the receiver back on the hook in a leisurely manner.

Pei Lan, on the other hand, was extremely anxious. Hurriedly, she helped him get dressed. Then she changed her clothes too. She wanted Zhang Yong to hurry up. But she didn't dare to rush him.

'There's no need to rush. We can talk more when we get to the police station.'

'What if... what if...'

Pei Lan was worried that her sister would be bullied.

Zhang Yong shook his head.

In public, he couldn't just rip off her clothes!

At most, they will just slap him twice.

He deliberately procrastinates, just to give the other party time to act.

After they have acted, there will be a reason to torture the person!

Go out. Get in the car.

They arrive at the Xiyuan Restaurant at a leisurely pace.

Suddenly, the map prompts that there is a small red dot. So they raise their guard. Are there also Japanese here?

As the car gradually approaches, they discover that the small red dot is less than 30 metres away. It should be in the middle of the Xiyuan Restaurant. However, from inside the car, they cannot see it. They cannot determine the exact target.

She looked around carefully.

She saw a group of police officers leading someone out of the restaurant. Pei Xue was among them. There was also a very beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam.

She guessed that she must be the teacher Li Pei Xue had mentioned. She was indeed very beautiful.

The modified cheongsam with a Republic of China style really added to the impression it made on the tall Oriental woman wearing it.

The car pulled up.

Pei Lan hurriedly got out.

Pei Xue saw her sister and waved, but she was pushed away.

There was nothing she could do, so Peilan had to turn back and look to Zhang Yong for help.

Zhang Yong remained unhurried, getting out of the car steadily. He closed the door. Then he called out, 'Wang Zhiqiang!'

The person responsible for catching the criminal happened to be his former boss, Wang Zhiqiang.

A detective. In charge of a dozen people.

Wang Zhiqiang subconsciously turned around when he heard someone call out. Then he saw Zhang Yong. His face suddenly grew tense.

Zhang Yong...

Special Branch of the Lixing Society...

a popular figure...

Unwittingly, he immediately took a few steps forward, saluted first, 'Zhang... Sir, how are you?'

'Detective Wang,' Zhang Yong said calmly, 'you can call me Captain Zhang. I'm just a small team leader in the Secret Service Department of the Lixing Society.'

'Captain Zhang!' Wang Zhiqiang immediately knew that trouble was coming.

What could possibly be good about the people from the Secret Service Department of the Lixing Society showing up here? He hoped that they would not get himself involved.

He couldn't help but brace himself, preparing to clear himself of any involvement.

Zhang Yong waved at Pei Xue, indicating that he should come over.

A policeman tried to block the way. Wang Zhiqiang took a few steps forward and kicked the other man away.

You're blind!

Do you want to die? Don't implicate me!

Pei Xue was able to break free and hurriedly ran over to Pei Lan.

Pei Lan also ran up and put her arms around her sister.

Pei Xue, who had been frightened, nestled into her sister's arms and burst into tears.

Zhang Yong's expression did not change.

His attention was focused on the red dot.

Unfortunately, from the outside, it was impossible to see who the red dot was. The outside wall was sealed.

'Detective Wang!'

'Yes!'

'Seal off the entire Xiyuan Restaurant.'

'Huh?'

'Seal off the entire Xiyuan Restaurant. No one is allowed in or out!'

'Yes!'

Wang Zhiqiang finally understood.

He hurriedly ordered everyone to go back. Then he sealed off the entire Xiyuan Restaurant.

'She is an exception.'

'She is one of mine.'

'Let her come over.'

Zhang Yong pointed at the tall and beautiful female teacher.

Wang Zhiqiang hurriedly let her go.
