Chapter 696: Tungsten, gold, genius

Yang Zhi sent someone to investigate.

He wasn't quite sure either.

Ai Ye's voice came from behind, 'It's Wang Jichang's.'

'Oh?' Zhang Yong's mind twitched.

Wang Jichang's house?

Hiding so many weapons? What do you want to do?

Is he trying to turn Hangzhou into Peking or Tianjinwei again?

That wouldn't be surprising.

The Japanese invaders are scheming and have many different tactics.

They themselves probably didn't expect to invade China in full force next July. They are advancing like a battering ram.

According to common thinking, of course they have to establish secret strongholds in the city. Organise internal resistance. Gather intelligence while causing sabotage. Then nibble away step by step.

Cooperation from within and without has always been the best strategy.

So it's not surprising that Wang Jichang prepared several bases for hiding weapons in Hangzhou.

The rifles that were found were all of relatively good quality, made by Ma Si Huan. The bullets were also a matching set.

Some of the Ma Si Huan rifles even had serial numbers on them.

According to Zhang Yong's deduction, they should have belonged to the Northeast Army.

The Japanese invaders occupied the three northeastern provinces without much difficulty, and seized a large quantity of weapons and ammunition, which indeed gave the Japanese spies an extra edge. There was no shortage of weapons and ammunition.

The Fengtian Arsenal produced more shells and bullets than all the arsenals in the interior of the country combined.

'It's Wang Jichang, who runs the docks.'

'I know,'

Zhang Yong nodded. Not impressed.

Ai Ye seemed to have a slight aversion to this Wang Jichang. He must have known his background.

But Zhang Yong is not afraid. He has blackmailed Wang Jichang once before. Now if they meet, he will definitely blackmail him a second time.

What is the charge?

Of course it is possession of weapons and ammunition.

What? You say you are innocent? Oh, come with me to assist in the investigation.

Capsicum water...

Tiger bench...

Then cover your nose and mouth with a damp piece of kraft paper...

He doesn't believe Wang Jichang dares to resist...

Suddenly...

a red dot with a label appeared at the edge of the map.

Zhang Yong casually checked it out. His expression immediately became very strange. It turned out that the red dot was actually Wang Jichang.

He seemed to be driving. Very fast. He was heading right towards the house.

Could it be that Wang Jichang was coming here?

Huh, what a coincidence.

Speak of the devil and he appears.

'Someone's coming!'

'Hide!'

He immediately waved his hand. Ordering everyone to hide.

He himself took Ai Ye's hand. He told her to hide with him. On purpose. Taking advantage of the situation.

A beautiful woman, if she comes to you, you should take advantage of her.

Ai Ye angrily broke free.

This guy. He really is a lazy character.

Liao Panxi said he was complicated. I can't understand him. It's true. He's a mystery.

He's capable.

But I don't know what exactly he's capable of...

He's lustful...

greedy...

He has all the faults of a small-town rascal.

It's impossible to expect such a person to achieve anything great. For a moment, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

They say that beautiful women love heroes. She really hoped that she could find a heroic man who could stand up for justice...

'Beauty, don't make a sound.'

'Who's coming?'

'Wang Jichang.'

'How do you know?'

'I understand the I Ching.'

'You...'

Ai Ye was at a loss for words.

You know the I Ching. You know the I Ching. You know the I Ching.

You've repeated it 300 times. Why do you need to repeat it so many times? Knowing the I Ching can tell who's coming?

I'm not a child of three. I don't believe a word you say...

Trying to argue, she suddenly realises that something is wrong.

A small black car arrives. It stops in front of the house. A moment later, a man gets out of the car, and it is Wang Jichang.

Ai Ye: ...

It feels like my mind is a bit confused again.

What's going on?

Is it really Wang Jichang who has come?

How did Zhang Yong know?

Weird...

Strange...

She tried to speak, but Zhang Yong put a hand over her mouth.

She felt something cool on her lips.

Ai Ye angrily pushed his hand away. But she didn't say anything.

Wang Jichang had come, so there must be something important.

The two of them silently watched Wang Jichang's movements. They saw that he had been inside for less than two minutes before coming out again.

His face seemed a little bad. He walked quite quickly when he came out.

Obviously, he had discovered that something was wrong inside the house. The weapons and ammunition at the bottom of the stairs had been taken.

Wang Jichang was about to get into the car. Suddenly, he felt someone behind him. He subconsciously turned around.

Then he saw Zhang Yong.

Wang Jichang's expression suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Damn it!

It's this guy again!

Why is he here? What does he know?

Unwittingly, Wang Jichang's heart was plummeting. He was afraid that something would be revealed...

'Mr. Wang, we meet again,' Zhang Yong said with a smile.

'Team Leader Zhang...' Wang Jichang quietly closed his eyes. He hoped it was an illusion.

He didn't want to see Zhang Yong. Really.

Every time he met Zhang Yong, nothing good happened.

He had just been extorted 100,000 taels of silver. His heart had been bleeding inside.

Even though he was in charge of a large dock and earned a lot of money, 100,000 taels of silver was not a small sum. Of course it hurt when it was taken away like that.

He was still quietly calculating how he could get rid of Zhang Yong. Who knew that the plan had not even taken shape when he unexpectedly ran into Zhang Yong again.

In addition to his heartache, he secretly cursed the heavens.

Can you not be so biased? Don't let Zhang Yong catch me all the time and fleece me!

There are still so many wealthy families in Hangzhou, so many rich people, let Zhang Yong fleece them.

He and I don't clash...

Really...

'Mr Wang, what are you doing here?'

'Team Leader Zhang, why are you here?'

'I'm here to arrest a Japanese spy!'

'I was just passing by.'

'But I clearly saw you come out of the house.'

'No. I got the address wrong. I went into the wrong house. I thought it was strange, so I hurriedly turned around and came out.'

'Is that really so?'

'Of course, Captain Zhang, when have I ever lied to you?'

'That's right.'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

Then suddenly he remembered something. He looked up.

'But this Miss Ai said that this is your boss Wang's house.'

'What Miss Ai?'

'Ai Ye. Liao Panxi's sister-in-law. Do you know her?'

'Her? The one from the gold shop?'

'Ai Ye, come out here.'

Zhang Yong waved his hand behind him. Deliberately.

He was setting a trap for two people. Not only Wang Jichang, but also Ai Ye.

You Ai Ye want to follow me, don't you? Then get ready. I, Zhang Yong, have enemies everywhere, and I make enemies everywhere. I hope you can accept it...

'This bastard...'

'Ahhh, what a bastard...'

Indeed, Ai Ye was about to lose her mind. She really wanted to beat Zhang Yong up.

This guy, deliberately exposing her. Letting her confront Wang Jichang. Isn't this obviously letting her Wang Jichang fight in the ring?

Wang Jichang is a heavyweight big shot. How could Ai Ye possibly be his match?

She just runs a small gold shop...

Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong, you really are full of bad ideas.

She already deeply regretted following Zhang Yong.

'It's you!'

Sure enough, Wang Jichang looked at Ai Ye with a displeased expression.

Ai Ye's expression gradually calmed down.

'It's me, Boss Wang. We meet again.'

'Why are you here instead of minding your gold shop?'

'Thanks to Boss Wang's care, my gold shop doesn't have much business. I had to come out and find another way to make a living.'

'Hmph! This house is not mine! Don't you dare lie!'

Wang Jichang corrected Ai Ye's statement.

In front of Zhang Yong, he had to deny any connection to the house in front of him. Everything in the house had nothing to do with him, Wang Jichang.

There was no doubt that the weapons and ammunition in the house had been dug up by Zhang Yong.

Who knew what this guy would do with these weapons and ammunition? He, Wang Jichang, decisively cut himself off for self-protection.

'Boss Wang, I remember, this is the house of your Wang family.'

At this point, Ai Ye had no choice but to stand her ground.

If she denied it, Zhang Yong would look down on her. She wanted to please both sides. But that was impossible.

Between Zhang Yong and Wang Jichang, Ai Ye chose Zhang Yong.

There was no other way. She could not choose Wang Jichang.

She knew full well that Zhang Yong was not the best choice. But there was no other choice.

'No. You've got it wrong.'

Wang Jichang's face turned pale. He firmly denied it.

He secretly felt relieved. This house was not registered. There was no paper information.

In other words, there is no evidence. Zhang Yong will not be able to catch him. No matter how powerful Zhang Yong is, he cannot be sure.

'I have not remembered incorrectly.'

'This street is full of your Wang family's houses.'

Ai Ye's voice was clear.

She absolutely could not let Zhang Yong feel that she had made a mistake.

She was beautiful. However, she was not a vase. Nor did she want to be a vase. She and Wang Jichang were at odds.

Originally, her relationship with Wang Jichang was not good.

She ran a goldsmith's shop. Wang Jichang also owned a goldsmith's shop. The two shops were in fierce competition. As a result, her business was not doing well.

'This isn't it. We sold it a long time ago.'

'Sold it to whom?'

'Someone from downstairs handled it. I don't know. It's because I forgot it had been sold that I took the wrong path.'

'You...'

Ai Ye choked. She wanted to argue. She was stopped by Zhang Yong.

Wang Jichang was secretly pleased. Fortunately, he had been quick-witted and found an excuse. He said that the house had been sold.

Yes, it had been sold. It was no longer the Wang family's. Therefore, everything in the house had nothing to do with them. If you, Zhang Yong, want to frame us, don't even think about it. The Wang family will never admit to it.

'Calm down. Calm down.'

'We're all on the same side. We're all on the same side.'

Zhang Yong intervenes. He pulls Ai Ye behind him. He tells her to keep quiet.

To deal with someone like Wang Jichang, you have to do it yourself.

Ai Ye is still too innocent.

To deal with a rogue, you have to be more of a rogue.

'I'm serious,' Wang Jichang repeatedly emphasises, "the house really was sold.'

'I believe you. So don't be nervous," Zhang Yong nods, 'everything inside the house has nothing to do with you. You're innocent.'

'Yes. I am innocent,' Wang Jichang emphasised.

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

The demolition of the house was ordered. It was to be completely flattened.

This had to be done in front of Wang Jichang. Haha. If something irritates the other party...

Haha...

'Boom!'

'Clatter...'

A group of people began demolishing the house.

They really demolished the house. They pulled everything apart.

They dug up the ground.

As a result...

they found a pile of dark, metallic blocks.

Everyone else was puzzled, but Zhang Yong recognised them at once. Tungsten blocks again.

He was depressed.

He was not happy.

Why were there tungsten blocks again?

Son of a bitch!

Wang Jichang!

What are you doing with all these tungsten blocks all day?

Last time you made two big boxes, and now you've made a bunch again. Your family must be specialised in producing tungsten blocks!

Angrily, he picked up a piece of tungsten and threw it on the ground. As a result, the tungsten block hit the stone and bounced up hard. It almost hit Zhang Yong's own leg.

Oops...

Zhang Yong's anger suddenly soared.

You piece of tungsten wants to rebel? Damn it, I thought you were gold!

He immediately took out a 30 kg sledgehammer and smashed it down on the tungsten block. The tungsten block had just settled on the stone and was smashed solid by the hammer.

Wang Jichang: ...

I have a vague feeling that this is not good.

If the tungsten block is smashed open violently...

Originally, those tungsten blocks were all very sturdy. They could not be smashed open by violence in general.

But who would have thought that Zhang Yong would lift such a big hammer. Wait a minute. Where did the hammer come from? Is he a magician?

'Pang!'

'Poof!'

The heavy hammer fell.

Zhang Yong: ...

Huh?

What's going on?

The tungsten block cracked. Golden colour was revealed.

At the same time, the map also immediately showed the golden symbol. It was right in front of him.

Zhang Yong: ?

He froze for three whole seconds.

His mind flashed with a lot of chaotic thoughts. But he couldn't catch any of them.

Gold?

Tungsten?

Wait!

Inside is gold?

Outside is tungsten?

Gold wrapped in tungsten?

It looks like tungsten on the outside, but actually it's gold on the inside?

Oh...

All kinds of chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind. He thought of a lot. But none of them stuck.

He turned his head.

and looked at Wang Jichang. I understand that he is up to no good.

I noticed that Wang Jichang's face was pale. His eyes were dull. Obviously, this guy is panicking.

Tungsten block...

Gold...

There is something fishy about this.

After a while, Zhang Yongcai slowly calmed down.

He raised the hammer and smashed another tungsten block. Inside, the same golden yellow colour was revealed.

It was a sure thing.

Outside, it was tungsten. Inside, it was gold.

He was a later generation person. Preconceptions. His thinking was limited.

Liars in later generations used tungsten to pass off as gold. They wrapped tungsten in gold. It looked like gold on the surface.

Without destructive testing, it is impossible to tell the difference.

However, the situation at hand is that someone has wrapped gold in tungsten. It is passed off as a tungsten block. It looks like tungsten on the outside. It is just the opposite.

Either way, without destructive testing, it is impossible to tell.

Even the system map is the same.

Before, the system map did not show the gold symbol. It only showed after the tungsten block was smashed.

So, there is a way to detect the system map. It doesn't know without destructive testing. It only shows metal objects with a gold surface. So, the system didn't respond to the previous two suitcases.

Tungsten is actually very strong. It seems that the warheads of future tank armor-piercing shells are made of tungsten. It is very hard. It has very strong penetrating power. Some tungsten alloy warheads are more than twice as powerful as ordinary warheads.

Even a 30-kilogram hammer cannot crack the tungsten block.

In fact, if the inside of the tungsten block was not gold, even a 30-kilogram hammer could not break it.

What talent...

He actually thought of wrapping gold in tungsten.

He deceived the world to such a level. I'm also impressed. Which genius had the reverse thinking?

Take a deep breath...

Think of the two heavy boxes of tungsten...

In fact...

Are those two boxes of gold?

Ah...

Suddenly, I'm over-excited.

I hug Ai Ye and kiss her hard.

Beauty, this is my reward for you. You're welcome. You're welcome.

'What are you doing?'

Ai Ye hurriedly pushed him away.

At the same time, she reached out to wipe her face.

This bastard!

He's getting more and more outrageous!

"Keep digging!'

'Keep digging!'

Zhang Yong shouted excitedly.

He looked sideways at Wang Jichang.

Wang Jichang: ...

Speechless and choking.

It felt as if a hundred thousand grass mud horses had swept through his heart...
