LRAB Chapter 57 Martial Uncle, Don't Kill Him, Capture Him Alive
Chapter 57 Martial Uncle, Don't Kill Him, Capture Him Alive
In an instant, the front and back exits of the alley were blocked by military trucks! Five operatives armed with Thompson submachine guns and repeating German Mauser pistols jumped down from the walls on both sides, unleashing a barrage of firepower like a storm!
The remaining four Axe Gang police officers were no ordinary men either. Consider that none of the more than 3000 Axe Gang brothers who died in battle were useless!
They had already found cover, and the throwing axes flew out one after another. Although they were not as accurate as Wu Zhiguo, they were still incredibly lethal. Three more Kuomintang agents died under the axes!
Wu Zhiguo moved with agility, using the branches and trunk of the tree for cover, while throwing his axe repeatedly with speed and accuracy. He used his axe-throwing skills to cut down three Kuomintang agents who rushed ahead! Screams of agony rose and fell!
Upon seeing that the assassin had actually taken out a machine gun, he immediately knew that he could no longer stay in the tree. He pushed off the tree with both feet again and flew to the other side of the wall just before the machine gun started firing, hoping to use the wall to block the machine gun fire!
The "Swallow Sect's" lightness skill is certainly not like that in martial arts novels, where one can take off from the ground and fly around without any leverage. Generally speaking, it is similar to modern "parkour," where one still needs to have leverage points!
Just as he jumped down from the tree and landed on the other side of the wall, he heard a roar: "Cast the net!"
Ma Gui, another expert operative who was lying in ambush here as part of the plan, immediately threw out a huge, specially made high-strength fishing net that had been prepared in advance, and covered Wu Zhiguo!
The instant the fishing net covered him, Wu Zhiguo felt utterly hopeless...
"It's over!
"If I had known I was going to die like this, I would have preferred to have died at the hands of the Japanese devils. At that time, I would have had the face to meet my ancestors and my most respected boss, Wang Yaqiao..."
At this critical moment!
"Who the hell are you, bastard, daring to harm my nephew from the Swallow Sect? You'd better give me your life!" (This part might be a bit harsh, but there's no other way. Mao Baoying, Wu Zhiguo, and this Liu Shisan are all important figures who drive the subsequent plot forward. These two traitors can't just die so easily at the hands of the Military Intelligence Bureau. They must die at the hands of Lin Xiaowen in the future.)
A sharp cry, like the cry of an eagle, came from the rooftops in the distance!
A gray figure darted across the rooftops like an owl, moving at an astonishing speed!
Before they even arrived, a dense cloud of cold stars had already enveloped the Kuomintang agents!
"Puff puff puff puff!"
Those were countless tiny, sharp-edged swallow darts!
This move is the signature technique of the Swallow Sect, a branch of the Ming Dynasty's light-body martial arts in central Shandong:
Helpless against the storm,
A flock of swallows seems familiar!
Ma Gui and three Kuomintang agents were caught off guard and were immediately hit in the face and throat by darts, falling to the ground screaming in pain!
Ma Gui was hit by two darts, one in the cheek and the other in the foot, and immediately fell to the ground. As he fell, his head hit the ground hard, and he immediately lost consciousness!
At this moment, the intense gunfire finally attracted a large number of police and military police. "Pufferfish" Li Guanyu saw that things were beyond saving and that if he didn't leave, he would all perish here!
He glanced around the room and saw that all the fallen agents were completely motionless, including another team leader, Ma Gui. He assumed they had all died a glorious death and could only grit his teeth and shout, "The wind is strong, let's get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining members of the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately provided alternating machine gun cover and retreated to another road, hurriedly boarding a truck...
The man in gray was none other than Wu Zhiguo's second martial uncle, Shen Yanzi Liu Shisan, whom he had written to his confidant after becoming the deputy director of the police bureau, requesting to come to Shanghai to share wealth and honor!
This "Divine Swallow Liu Shisan" was incredibly talented in both lightness skills and martial arts, but he was also "lustful and fond of gambling". He originally won nine out of ten bets thanks to his "powerful hearing", and lived a carefree and happy life in Jinan Daming Prefecture!
But alas, "those who drown are always the best swimmers, and there's always someone stronger than the strongest." Finally, in a high-stakes gamble, he encountered an even stronger opponent: Zhuo Yifu, known as "Northern Thousand Hands."
This man and Luo Sihai, known as the "Southern King of Gamblers," were called the "Two Kings of Gamblers of the North and South." After a high-stakes gambling session, he lost everything and even owed the casino two thousand dollars!
Just when he was at his wit's end, he suddenly received a letter from his junior apprentice Wu Zhiguo, inviting him to Shanghai to enjoy life. The letter also included 3000 silver dollars. He was overjoyed and immediately paid off his casino debts. He followed Wu Zhiguo's underlings to Shanghai and, by sheer coincidence, saved Wu Zhiguo's life!
Seeing Wu Zhiguo trapped in the fishing net, he smiled slightly and said, "Little Zhi, you're in quite a mess!" After saying that, a glint of cold light flashed in his hand and a swallow dart appeared. He slashed back and forth a few times and cut the fishing net open!
Just as Wu Zhiguo was about to say something, Ma Gui, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up, groaned, and tried to get up. Liu Shisan and Wu Zhiguo, with their exceptional hearing, immediately noticed. Just as Liu Shisan's swallow dart was about to fly out of his hand, Wu Zhiguo shouted, "Uncle-Master, don't kill him! Capture him alive!"
On Rue Pétain in the French Concession, on the third floor of the "Rongchang Trading Company" near the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Station!
When Zhao Xiaodao answered the phone, he heard "General Manager Zheng Shisong... Mr. Wang".
When this title and surname were combined in a way that was completely irrelevant, it immediately alerted him!
He became so excited he almost dropped the microphone, forcibly suppressing his emotions as he tried to respond: "May I ask who you are...?"
However, the other person seemed completely unconcerned about his answer, continuing to speak at their own pace, as if completing a pre-set program:
"The deposit order contract for the 'Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs' that I ordered from your company was mailed from the Suzhou post office at 9:00 AM this morning."
It is expected to arrive at your company as early as tomorrow morning, and at the latest by tomorrow afternoon. Please check your mail.
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Xiaodao to react, the phone was hung up with a "click," leaving only a busy tone.
"Feed? Feed?! Sir?!" Zhao Xiaodao shouted twice into the microphone, and after confirming that the other party had hung up, he immediately yelled at Qian Tiezhu, "Quick! Go to the dormitory and tell the stationmaster! Quick! The call he's waiting for is coming!"
After saying that, Zhao Xiaodao's instinctive professionalism immediately kicked in, and he picked up a pen and paper. He glanced at the clock on the office wall—10:18 PM—and carefully wrote it down…
Qian Qingfu also realized the gravity of the matter and immediately ran to inform Wang Tianmu, who was already asleep!
After listening to Qian Qingfu's panting, incoherent but key-point-clear words, Wang Tianmu...
He suddenly stood up, put on his pants, and without even grabbing his coat, ran barefoot, almost crashing through the office door.
"Where's the phone? Where's the recording?!" he roared, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing rapid.
Zhao Xiaodao and Qian Tiezhu immediately stepped forward and, speaking rapidly, recounted the entire process of receiving the phone call.
Including the other party's strange tone of voice, and the use of the title "General Manager Wang, Zheng Shisong".
He gave a detailed report on the news that "the order for Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs has been shipped," and handed over the transcribed wire of the phone recording.
Wang Tianmu snatched the wire, placed it on the machine himself, and listened carefully while holding his breath.
When the imitation of "Director Qi's" voice came out, he frowned. This voice was completely different from the one he remembered (Han Zhenhua's original voice)!
But the way the code is used, the items mentioned in the "order"... it's too similar! It's definitely the style of a crow, not a "harbinger of good news"!
"Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs... order..." Wang Tianmu repeatedly chewed on these words, his eyes gleaming.
"That's it! That's it! It must be intelligence! Important strategic intelligence!"
Just like the 'newspaper' last time! He always uses these seemingly ordinary things to convey information!
Overwhelmed with joy! Boss Dai's secret telegram, the anticipation of the past few days, and this sudden contact... the "Good News Bird" had truly reappeared!
He suppressed the urge to shout and immediately issued a series of orders:
"Liang Jun! Immediately arrange for two people to pose as company employees and guard the first-floor entrance 24 hours a day, starting now!"
We're waiting for the postman! All letters addressed to "Zheng Shisong" or "Rongchang Trading Company," especially those coming from Suzhou, will be delivered to my office immediately!
It must not pass through any third party!
After taking the "phone record" from Zhao Xiaodao, his eyes lit up, and he continued:
"Yongcheng! Telecommunications Room, strengthen surveillance. Immediately notify us to arrange operator number 9 at the telephone exchange to trace the origin of this call... Arrange for your telecommunications department personnel to immediately go to the time and location of this call to conduct a reverse investigation, carefully inquiring to find out exactly who made the call!"
In particular, I need to find out everything about everyone in the area around 10:18 AM!
Bring the best sketch artists and plenty of gold bars!
Today's events, and what we might receive next, are classified as top secret by this site!
Anyone who dares to divulge even a single word will be treated as a traitor and executed without exception!
After saying that, he immediately tore off the "telephone record" paper and set it on fire!
He had only burned half of the paper when he remembered something else. He hurriedly tore off the two sheets of paper below the "telephone record" and carefully checked whether there were any more "pen marks" before he felt relieved enough to burn the two blank sheets of paper as well!
The entire Shanghai Metro station, like the most sophisticated machine, began to operate at high speed and discreetly once again.
Even after sleeping for less than an hour, Wang Tianmu was wide awake and paced back and forth in his office all night, excitedly thinking, "Tomorrow morning, or at the latest tomorrow afternoon..."
I, "I, Wang,"
Finally, we can hold our heads high!
