Chapter 39: Rescue!

  Headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau.

  A staff member who received Zhang's distress call did not dare to delay and immediately reported to Director Dai.

  Dai Li was disturbed in the middle of the night and obviously unhappy. He walked out of his bedroom and into his office, asking: "What's going on?"

  The officer hastily replied: "Director, I just received a call. The caller said that your niece Du Qianxue has been kidnapped! Please help rescue her!"

  "What? Xue Er? What's wrong with her? Who dares to abduct her?" Dai Li asked in surprise.

  "Report to the duty room, the person on the phone said that Du Qianxue was kidnapped by the Special Action Brigade. He also said that Miss Du might have been taken to Nan Yuan Bai Jia Commune!" The officer on duty replied.

  "Don't move the troops? What does that bastard Kang Ze want to do with his men? He even dares to touch Er Ge's daughter!" Dai Li hesitated for a moment, then ordered the personnel on duty: "You immediately let Si Hai come see me!"

  "Yes!" The officer stood up straight with a crisp movement and immediately turned around respectfully and walked away quickly.

  …………

  In a courtyard next to Baijia Gongshe, this is the residence of a detachment of the Biedong General Team and also its foothold.

  Li Jianzhong drove his car directly into the courtyard and then carried out a long canvas bag from inside, carrying it towards his bedroom.

  After Li Jianzhong entered, several subordinates immediately closed the gate.

  Li Jianzhong had originally planned to take Du Qianxue to a large warehouse on the outskirts of town, where there were no people around, making it convenient for him to do his own thing. However, he was afraid that one of his underlings would go looking for him and be followed by others, so he drove in a circle before heading back to his own division's base.

  Li Jianzhong thought that his three subordinates were all good fighters, but they couldn't beat Zhang Xinghan. Withdrawing with their whole body intact shouldn't be a problem, so he never thought that Zhang Xinghan would find this place.

  Carrying Du Qianshuo, who had been stunned by himself, Li Jianzhong rushed to his bedroom, and after entering the room, he locked the door and put Du Qianshuo on the bed.

  He pulled her out of the sack, and at this time Du Qianshu was still unconscious, with no consciousness. Looking at Du Qianshu's sleeping appearance, Li Jianzhong's mouth corner rose with a sinister smile.

  She took out a small blue bottle from her own pocket and opened it, turning it around in front of Du Qianshuo.

  Du Qianxue soon coughed twice and slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Li Jianzhong leering at her with a lustful smile.

  "Li Jianzhong? How did I end up here?" Du Qianxue felt a headache, struggled to sit up, but found that she didn't have any strength in her body at all.

  "How did you end up here? Of course, it was me who invited you." Li Jianzhong said with a pleased smile.

  "Li Jianzhong, what do you want to do? You dare to catch me, let me go quickly!" Looking at Li Jianzhong's sinister smile, Du Qianshuang sensed a hint of danger.

  "What do you want to do?" Li Jianzhong sneered, "What can a lonely man and woman do when they are together in the same room?" As he spoke, he slowly moved closer to the bedside.

  "Save me! Save me!" Du Qianshu cried out in a panic.

  "Go ahead and shout! Shout as loud as you can! No one will hear you, no one will come to save you!" Li Jianzhong said with some indignation: "You didn't want the face I gave you, it's you who forced me to do this! Miss Du, did you know that from the moment I first saw you, I've been infatuated with you? Every moment, every second, I've been fantasizing about today. And now, finally, my wish has come true!"

  "You bastard!" Du Qianxue's eyes were cold with anger as she glared at Li Jianzhong: "You dare to touch me, you will die a terrible death!"

  "Is that so? I see you're really not shedding tears until you see the coffin! Now, let me try and see if I'll die in a very ugly way!" Li Jianzhong said as he pounced on Du Qianshu like a ferocious wolf.

  At this moment, a loud and violent explosion sounded in the courtyard, followed immediately by a dense and crisp gunfire.

  Li Jianzhong hastily stood up, pulled out his pistol and quickly walked out of the room.

  Li Jianzhong had just walked out of the house when he saw a group of armed soldiers rushing into the courtyard like wolves, and the gate had already been blown open by grenades.

  He saw that the leader was Zhang Xinghan and was so frightened that he quickly turned around and ran into the house, pulling Du Qianshuo up from the bed. At this moment, Zhang Xinghan rushed in with Zhao Desheng and others. Li Jianzhong held a gun to Du Qianshuo's head and shouted at Zhang Xinghan and others: "Don't come over! Otherwise, I'll kill him!"

  "Let him go at once, or I'll leave you a complete corpse!" Zhang Xinghan aimed his gun at Li Jianzhong's head and said with a cold expression.

  "Hmph! Less nonsense! Put down the gun immediately and let me go, or I'll kill her!" Li Jianzhong bellowed with a ferocious expression.

  "I won't say it a third time! Let her go at once! I'll leave you intact!" Zhang Xinghan opened the lid of the small box in his hand and shouted coldly.

  "Put down the gun! Or else I..." Li Jianzhong's words were cut off as Zhang Xinghan decisively pulled the trigger. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and amidst Du Qianshuang's screams, a bullet shot into Li Jianzhong's forehead.

  Li Jianzhong's expression suddenly froze, and then his entire body straightened up and fell backwards.

  Zhang Xinghan took a big step forward and fired three more shots at Li Jianzhong's body. At this time, Du Qiansheng was suddenly frightened and burst into tears, the bullet had just flown past his cheek.

  Zhang Xinghan hastily stepped forward to support her, and Du Qianshui tightly and suddenly hugged Zhang Xinghan, with tears of grievance gushing out like a spring.

  ………..

  Twenty-three kilometers east of Nanjing, there is a small town famous for its hot springs, namely Tangshan. In the 1920s and 1930s, Tangshan was a resort for high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Party, who often came to bathe in the hot springs and built houses here.

  As the head of the party, state and military government, Chiang Kai-shek also had a hot spring villa here. The location is at No. 3 Tangquan Road, which was built by Zhang Jingjiang, an old friend of Chiang Kai-shek, on the basis of the original "Taolu" villa in the 16th year of the Republic of China. When Chiang Kai-shek got married, it was given to him and Soong Mei-ling as a birthday gift.

  From then on, this place became one of Chiang Kai-shek's several official residences in Nanjing. In his spare time, Director Chiang would often take Madame Soong to the Tangshan Villa for a rest.

  The next morning, several Ford Model T cars slowly drove out of Nanjing City and headed in the direction of Tangshan.

  In the middle of a sedan, surprisingly, was none other than the later famous head of the secret service and current director of the Revival Society's Secret Service Department, Dai Li. He had already known about Du Qianshuo being rescued by Zhang Xinghan last night. As the director of the Secret Service Department and commander-in-chief of the Dare-to-Die Corps, Dai Li was both an enemy and a friend to Kang Ze.

  It's not a one-time thing, this time the blame is on the Special Task Force first, and since Zhang Xinghan killed several members of the Special Task Force, he must take the initiative to report to Chiang Kai-shek to explain the situation, seize the initiative, and suppress Kang Ze's momentum.

  Tangshan is not far from Nanjing. After more than an hour, the car carrying Dai Li and his party entered Tangshan Town.

  Chiang Kai-shek was taking a morning stroll on Tangquan Road No. 3, getting some exercise to loosen up his body, which he did every day no matter how busy his schedule was.

  Chiang Kai-shek walked back and forth in the courtyard, deep in thought with his hands behind his back. At this time, Chiang indeed had many worries. Although the Great Wall Battle was held for more than a month, it ultimately ended in defeat. Due to the current domestic and international situation, Chiang was forced to sign the Tanggu Truce with Japan, which he did not want to do.

  He was so tolerant of the Japanese because he regarded the Red Army in northern Shaanxi as a major threat, rather than because China's national strength was inferior to Japan. In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek did not misjudge, and indeed, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, within just three years, the Nationalist government was defeated and retreated to Taiwan in disarray.

  Just as Chairman Chiang was frowning and thinking, preparing for the fifth annihilation of the Red Army, Madame Soong walked out quietly and said to Chairman Chiang intimately: "Darling, it's time for breakfast!"

  "Oh! Good madam!" Chairman Chiang heard the voice and nodded his head towards Madame Soong.

  Just as Director Chiang and Madame Soong had not yet entered the living room, Lieutenant Li Wen-long, Director Chiang's aide-de-camp, hastily rushed in.

  He strode up to Chairman Chiang and stood at attention, reporting: "Chairman, Chief of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics Tai Li requests an audience!"

  "Is that Dai Yunong? He's here so early, he must have something on his mind. Tell him to wait in the study, I'll be right there." Chairman Chiang said thoughtfully.

  "Yes!" Wang Shihe nodded slightly and immediately turned around and quickly walked away.

  Chiang Kai-shek turned around with a slightly apologetic smile and said to Madame Song: "Madame, I'll go take care of this. You eat first!"

  "Hmm! You go ahead and attend to your business." Mrs. Song nodded lightly in response.

  Chiang Kai-shek turned around and strode towards the study, his hands behind his back.
