Chapter 40: Gunfire at the Wedding

  As for Dai Li, Hu Zhiyong was especially wary. The Revival Society had just been established, and such a person appeared in Zhuanghe, which made him doubly vigilant.

  "He didn't come to persuade me, he's left with only one option, to assassinate me and give the nation a warning!"

  "Master, are you ordering to have all these people arrested?" Li Erzhu was also startled by Hu Zhiyong's guess. If a fight breaks out at the wedding, this joke will become a big deal.

  "No need!" Hu Zhiyong said in a low voice after exchanging a few words with Li Erzhu, and then stood up and said: "Once they make a move, we'll take them all down without mercy!"

  "Yes!"

  Li Erzhu left, Hu Zhiyong let out a long sigh: "The mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings. Grandma, everyone's attention is focused on me!"

  As night drew near, Hu Zhiyong went to see his mother first and returned to the living room after seeing her injuries. Huo Feng brought hot water for them to take a bath before going to bed. Perhaps due to his heavy heart, he was sleepless for the first time.

  "Master, why did you buy so many properties in Los Angeles?" Hu Zhiyong didn't seem sleepy at all, and Huo Feng turned over to ask him face to face.

  "Make money!" Hu Zhiyong replied absent-mindedly.

  "Is it still possible to make money in real estate during this economic downturn?" Huo Feng couldn't help but ask again, curious about Hu Zhiyong's intentions.

  Hu Zhiyong woke up from his melancholy thoughts, hugging Huo Feng and saying: "The economy will recover soon, the money we invested will be multiplied several times in five years. I've already sent a telegram to Beili, we must set up some small manufacturing industries in Los Angeles. Trust my vision, in ten years, I'll own a street there!

  Successfully extricating Hu Zhiyong from his distress, Huo Feng suppressed a smile and asked: "You're hesitating, thinking of abandoning this place to focus on developing in the US, right?"

  "How did you know?" Hu Zhiyong's thoughts were guessed by her, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The domestic situation is complicated, I'm a bit disheartened. Alas, how many people can understand my heart!"

  "I know!" Huo Zhiyong held Huo Feng tightly, their lips almost touching: "Young Master, for the sake of the country's economy and to have a reliable rear base for the war of resistance... your mother had already seen through your hard work and asked us three to help you manage the business and school well."

  "Mom!" Hu Zhiyong was moved. The phrase "no one knows a son better than his mother" he now truly understood.

  "Young master, don't be too hard on yourself and don't blame yourself too much. Everything has its own destiny, going with the flow is the best way."

  Hu Zhiyong's anxious and uncertain heart was suddenly lifted by Huo Feng's simple words. He laughed loudly, pinning down Jiaona's body: "Right, history won't change because of one person like me, I'll just do my own thing well. Come on, let's make you the bride tonight!"

  The next morning, Hu Zhiyong and Huo Feng got up early. In the front yard, 300 young men and women changed into their festive attire and were busy with their own affairs. As they walked out of the living room, voices congratulating Young Master rang out one after another.

  Chen Xiwu was directing the kitchen to arrange breakfast, seeing the groom getting up, and said with a smile: "You are the first family in our county to have so many banquets for your wedding, killing seven pigs, two cows, ten sheep, over 3,000 catties of fresh fish, and a whole boat of fresh vegetables."

  "Ten pigs?" Hu Zhiyong smiled wryly: "Each unit is slaughtering pigs and sheep, I estimate no less than fifty pigs. Forget it, let's just enjoy the New Year."

  "The sedan chair will start at 8 o'clock from the Stone Mansion and is expected to arrive at 10 o'clock. Third Young Master, please wait for it at the bank entrance." Chen Xinwen had too many things on his mind and left Hu Zhiyong in the courtyard to watch while he went off.

  The first courtyard was filled with more than 40 tables. Every room was packed with tables and chairs, and even tents were set up on both sides of the street. Hu Zhiyong observed contentedly, his eyes scanning the dark corners of the surrounding rooftops.

  Hu Dacheng became the general manager, in charge of accounting and receiving gifts. Li Hansheng complained: "Look, yesterday alone, more than a dozen boxes of cigarettes were given away."

  "Miser!" Hu Zhiyong chuckled, not minding the expense at all. "Huang Shang", do you still remember that year's Ai Yi Literature Network? Ai Yi Literature Network has been beautifully revamped and is now online, with no ads throughout the entire site, returning a pure land to you!!!

  At nine o'clock, Gu Ding led a large group of people over. Hu Zhiyong took a look and found that among these people were Zheng Xiaoxu, the father and son envoys of Puyi of Manchukuo, Luo Zhenyu, the father and son, General Honjo Shigeru, Tōhei Toyama and others. The rest were military and political officials from Dalian and Dandong.

  Seeing the group of people arrive, Hu Zhiyong knew that this was a move to buy people's hearts and also solidify his traitor's reputation. He politely let everyone into the living room and ordered the young girls to serve tea.

  "Hu Jun Chang, your wedding has shocked the Emperor himself. He ordered us to represent him in congratulating you, please accept this humble gift!" Tofei handed over the gift list, Hu Zhiyong didn't even look at it and passed it on to Li Hansheng.

  "Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty!" Hu Zhiyong didn't say much more and turned to the Zheng family father and son, as well as the Luo family father and son: "The new government is at a crucial moment of formation, how do you have time to come here?" As for this great traitor, Hu Zhiyong was truly speechless. But since they were guests, he couldn't give them a cold shoulder. Moreover, the Japanese were still following behind.

  "Hu Jun Zhang was a young and promising talent, with a reputation that spread far and wide. Your Majesty and the government both hold you in high esteem. This is a small token of appreciation from His Majesty, please accept it!"

  Hu Zhiyong threw the gift list to Li Hansheng, and with his fists clenched, he said to everyone: "The wedding sedan chair will arrive soon, I'm really sorry but I won't be able to accompany you all!"

  "Alright, alright!" Ben Zhuang Fan smiled and nodded, indicating that Hu Zhiyong could go about his own business.

  As he walked out of the bank, Hu Zhiyong took out a cigarette and lit it. He had already thought of a countermeasure and was determined to compromise. When Hu Da came out, he instructed him to bring out good wine and cigarettes, and first set up two tables of wine for that group of people.

  The sedan chair arrived, and when Hu Zhiyong went to greet it, he saw a handgun aimed at his chest from not far away. He looked fearlessly at the opponent: "You are from the Revival Society, under He Zhizhen and Dai Li's command. I warn you, playing with guns here will make your death very ugly!"

  "I'm from the Execution Squad, I'm not afraid to die, unfortunately you won't be able to see it!" The newcomer, under 40 years old, with a sharp mind, covered his forehead with a bowler hat, and aimed his machine gun at Hu Zhiyong without any hesitation.

  "Get moving!"

  "Bang!"

  Shouts. Gunshots rang out one after another, and the hand holding the gun fell weakly to the side. Xue Er rushed over and pressed the newcomer under his powerful body in an instant. Hu Zhiyong walked over: "Special Task Force? Can you complete the task with just these two? Xue Er, take him to the riverbank and rip open his heart to eat it!" Hu Zhiyong's face revealed a murderous aura as he gave the order with a nod of his head. Xue Er excitedly raised his head and pinched the newcomer's neck, dragging him towards the distance.

  Gunfire startled everyone. The wedding sedan stopped at the door, and Hu Zhiyong couldn't help but carry the bride down from the sedan, looking around at the people and saying: "I know that Dai Li has sent out many people, remember, don't dance with guns or wield clubs here, I will not hesitate to counterattack my enemies! Fellow villagers, the Japanese have occupied the Northeast, this is the government's fault! I have a gun in my hand, but I dare not claim to dominate the world. My wish is just to let the people of Zhuanghe and Xiuyan live in peace, without getting involved in the whirlpool of war! The bride wants to get down from the sedan, come and bless me!"

  Hu Zhiyong walked into the sedan chair, lifted the curtain and first hugged Shi Yiping in his arms. Immediately afterwards, he walked to another sedan chair, with a pair of beauties embracing his chest and walking towards the courtyard.

  When the shots rang out, Tofu and others all ran out. Hu Zhiyong's words in that speech, they looked at each other and thought it was consistent with his actions. Honjō said regretfully: "He is a samurai, unfortunately he does not want to be used by the Imperial Army!"

  "Commander, as long as such a person is not our enemy, it's the greatest gain! " Tofei Yuan said with satisfaction, looking at the back of Hu Zhiyong who was walking away with Chaozheng Tang: "This man is very wise, with business acumen and rich military talent. Look at the people around him, their steady footsteps are obviously those of seasoned veterans!"

  "Where did his intelligence come from? **Zhongfu Xingshe must be careful, this is a threat to our next battle plan!" Ben Zhuang was deep in thought, having learned about Dai Li's special agent organization from Hu Zhiyong's speech.

  At this moment, the group of people were all guessing where that one shot came from. The precise marksmanship shocked them, and Hu Zhiyong's way of handling it made them feel even more that this young man was a nemesis to evil.

  By the river, Yin Long scolded the person who came with him, "You dare to pull out a gun at this time! Get lost, my young master doesn't want your life, otherwise it won't be your wrist that gets hit, but here!" Yin Long pointed his finger and pressed it against the person's forehead, sneering: "Your speed of drawing a gun is not good, and your martial arts skills are even worse! Tian Ya team? Here, you can only be called a team of people who come to die!"

  "Wait, I'll be back for revenge!" The man glared at Silver Dragon with a vicious gaze, his bitten lip bleeding slightly.

  "Come again, and you'll be waiting for others to collect the bodies! Honestly, if we wanted to take down your Revival Society, it would only take a few dozen people. Scram! If you enter the city again, you'll have no way out but death!" Silver Dragon kicked him and headed home with Xue'er, whistling.

  Su Xi Qing dispatched many plainclothes, at this moment, in the city defense camp gathered a dozen special guests. He sat beside the table, saying to them: "Take out all the items on your body, someone will take you away. Remember, Zhuanghe County is easy to enter but hard to leave, it's not okay to leave without any souvenirs!"

  "Why should we be searched?" A merchant holding a civilized stick strongly refuted that this is a bandit behavior.

  "Hey, do you think we don't know who you are? You, you, you're from the Revival Society, and he's from the Zhongtong. These few are really pitiful, they're just some thugs from the north." Su Xi Qing revealed each person's identity with a smile, saying: "Hurry up, get out of here! I still have to go attend a wedding!"

  It wasn't until then that these people realized that all their actions were under the control of others. Having lost the initiative to resist, they reluctantly pulled out their weapons at gunpoint.

  "One after another, they sent them rolling!" Su Xi Qing saw that things had ended perfectly and left the command center with a smile, heading towards the wedding banquet at the bank.

  After worshiping heaven and earth, Hu Zhiyong had to leave the crowd to accompany those "distinguished guests". Holding up his wine cup, he smiled and said: "The wine is weak and the dishes are plain, please forgive me. Come on, I'll drink a few cups with you all as the new groom."

  "Hu Jun Zhang, where did your sniper rifle come from?" Tofei's one sentence made the festive atmosphere in front of him tense.

  "Sniper rifle? Huo Feng, bring a few sniper rifles over!" Hu Zhiyong said calmly, holding his wine cup and speaking to Huo Feng behind him.
