Spy Wars: I'm the boss, who am I afraid of?

In the dead of night, everything was silent except for the sound of rain, which lingered in the quiet night. Silver raindrops poured down from the dark sky, knocking against the window frames like a low nocturne. The lights on the street flickered in the raindrops, reflecting a blurry golden color.

Every drop of rain is a line of poetry in the night. They quietly fall on the eaves, slide over the tips of leaves, blend into the moist soil, and awaken the sleeping earth. This is a monologue belonging to the night, quiet and profound, which makes people immerse their souls in this quiet rainy night and feel the most gentle comfort of nature.

"Bang, bang, bang", a series of rapid and powerful knocks on the door seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night, as if uneasy notes were jumping in the air. Every impact was filled with urgency and anxiety, penetrating the thin wooden board and vibrating every tense nerve. This sound was like a panicked heartbeat, knocking on the tranquility of the night again and again, breaking the peace in the house.

Outside the solemn and quiet gate of the Tang family mansion, a young man, dressed in stained shop assistant clothes and covered in blood, as if he had just struggled back from the brink of life and death, rushed into the mansion regardless of everything, his steps were chaotic but firm.

His breathing was as rapid as drumbeats, his face was pale, and his eyes flashed with fear and determination. Before he could catch his breath, he roared with all his might: "Boss, there's a change in the mansion, there's a traitor, run away!" Although the voice was small, it was harsh and shocking in the night, and every word carried a sense of crisis that could not be ignored.

The night before, a shocking theft occurred in the city. Not only did many valuables disappear, but even more shockingly, a confidential list of undercover agents of the Wang puppet government was also stolen. This list records in detail the information of spies planted by the Japanese puppet government in various places, and its value is self-evident.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, and it angered the Japanese high-ranking officials. In order to protect their precarious interests, they decisively decided to take over the control of the city gates and strengthen the strict inspection of citizens entering and leaving the city. A large number of Japanese soldiers were ready to face the enemy and conducted a detailed search of every passerby to prevent the list from being leaked.

The exposure of the Wang Puppet Government's undercover list will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to Japan's interests in China. During the war years against the invaders, the Wang Puppet Government was a puppet regime of Japan, and a large number of Japanese spies were lurking inside it.

These spies provided key support for the Japanese invasion of China by secretly collecting intelligence and monitoring resistance forces. However, once the list was exposed, the Japanese intelligence network would suffer a severe blow and would no longer be able to use these spies for effective surveillance and intelligence activities.

In addition, Japan's economic and political penetration in China will also face serious obstacles. The leakage of the list will deprive them of the ability to use these spies for economic manipulation and political intervention, thus shaking their foundation in China. What's worse, Japan's public image in China will also suffer a heavy blow. Without the support of spies, their actions in propaganda and public relations will be greatly restricted.

Therefore, the theft of the Wang Puppet Government's undercover list meant a huge loss to the Japanese. In order to protect their own interests, they had to do their utmost to prevent the list from falling into the hands of the enemy.

At this moment, Comrade Huang Yunkai, an important member of the underground party organization, was carrying out a vital task - escorting a batch of life-saving drugs through the city gate to the base in the countryside.

Unfortunately, Xue's mansion was robbed and the guards at the South Gate had been replaced by the Japanese army. Huang Yunkai and his colleagues did not learn of this change in time and still chose the South Gate as their passage.

Usually, the South Gate was guarded by a squad of puppet troops. Huang Yunkai and his men had established a tacit understanding with them and were able to pass through smoothly every time. But this time, they encountered an unexpected dilemma. The appearance of Japanese soldiers instantly ruined their plan.

When Huang Yunkai and his companions arrived at the South Gate, the Japanese soldiers conducted an unprecedented rigorous search on them. Despite their best efforts to conceal the drugs, they were eventually discovered. As a result, Huang Yunkai and his companions unfortunately fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

"Hurry up, Huang Yunkai has betrayed us." These short words were like thunder exploding in the quiet night sky. The shock and fear had not yet faded from the boy's face, but his life had come to an abrupt end. His body slowly fell down, as weak as a fallen leaf, but his words echoed in the air.

Tang's father stared blankly at Xiao Wang's cold body. The grief in his eyes was like an abyss. Endless tears were like broken pearl necklaces, falling one by one onto the dusty ground.

Tang's mother's face was as pale as if covered by frost and snow in the cold winter. The anxious look was like a raging fire burning in her eyes, constantly devouring her calmness.

Her hands were busy in a pile of documents, page by page, as if she wanted to dispel the fear in her heart with these crazy movements. The documents turned into ashes in the fire and drifted in the air, like a silent elegy, foreshadowing the coming storm.

"Go quickly and take the radio to find Teacher Qi." Tang's father's voice was low and firm. He took out an old radio from a hidden bookshelf in the corner of the study. His eyes were full of determination, as if he had already made the worst plan.

Tang's mother stopped what she was doing and looked at him, with a trace of struggle in her eyes. "What will you do if I leave? Let's go together." Her words were full of reluctance and worry. She didn't want to face this unknown danger alone, and she didn't want her husband to bear it alone.

Tang's father shook his head slightly, his fingers gently stroking the edge of the radio, which was a kind of silent comfort. "I'm here to delay time, you must go find Xiaoxiao and protect our daughter. She is our hope, and there can be no mistakes." His voice was soft, but as firm as a rock, and every word was deeply imprinted in Tang's mother's heart.

Mother Tang bit her lip, tears flashing in her eyes. She knew this was the only choice. She took over the radio, her heart full of pain and helplessness, but she knew that for their daughter, she had to be strong.

She looked at Tang's father deeply, a look that contained thousands of words, then she turned around and left the study without hesitation.

Father Tang watched her disappear with mixed emotions in his heart. He took a deep breath and looked towards the door firmly. He knew that he would have to face everything alone in the next period of time.

Tang's mother walked quickly, shuttling under the dim street lights, and rushed to Suzhong Primary School. There, Teacher Qi was not only a Chinese teacher who taught and educated people, but also an important fighter on the hidden front. Her arrival brought the last hope and endless worries.

"Teacher Qi, Huang Yunkai has rebelled. Old Tang is in danger." Tang's mother cried and asked Teacher Qi for help.

When Teacher Qi saw Tang's mother and Xiaoxiao, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly took Xiaoxiao out of the classroom and arranged for the mother and daughter to hide in a hidden secret room in the school.

Tang's mother and Xiaoxiao waited anxiously for news from Tang's father in the secret room. Tang's mother was full of self-blame, blaming herself for not being able to protect her husband better. The ignorant Xiaoxiao snuggled tightly in her mother's arms, wiping her mother's tears with a handkerchief, and said in a childish voice with determination: "Mom, who bullied you? Tell Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao will vent your anger for you."

Her mother, who had always been a dignified and strong woman, was now so fragile. Xiaoxiao swore that she would make the person who made her mother cry pay the price.

Hearing her daughter's words, Tang's mother couldn't help but hug Xiaoxiao tightly and burst into tears. At this moment, Tang's father was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army at home. His heart was full of determination. Knowing that he could not escape, he still chose to die for the revolutionary cause.

Soon, the Japanese army broke into Tang's house and arrested Tang's father. "Tang-san, you are under arrest." The young Junhao from the Special High Section announced coldly. Liu the translator immediately translated, "Boss Tang, you are under arrest."

"Tell me your boss, or your family will die," Junhao threatened.

"Little devils, you will not have a good end. I'll be waiting for you in hell." Father Tang showed no fear, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to shoot himself. However, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit his wrist, and the gun fell to the ground.

The Japanese officer sneered and ordered his men to take Tang's father away. He was escorted to the Japanese military camp and remained silent, determined not to reveal any information about the underground party.

Upon learning that Tang's father had been arrested, Mr. Qi felt extremely heavy-hearted. He knew that Tang's father's arrest would be a fatal blow to the underground party. He decided to arrange for Tang's mother and Xiaoxiao to leave Suzhong Primary School as soon as possible to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese army.
