Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

Three days later, Lu Yang was wearing a light grey suit, a white hat, and a pair of black crystal glasses on his nose. He looked like a rich young man who had studied abroad.

He walked out of a hotel in Ning'an County carrying a suitcase and hailed a rickshaw.

A few minutes later, another young man with the same hairstyle, wearing glasses and a Chinese gown walked out of the hotel and walked in the opposite direction towards the train station.

The two exchanged some documents from Shanghai during the journey.

The man came here by train from Shanghai using Lu Yang's name, and the two changed clothes in the hotel.

Lu Yang took the certificate of coming here from Shanghai and set foot in Ning'an County again.

However, as soon as he got on the rickshaw, Lu Yang felt someone following him.

It looked like a Pontiac sedan.

"Did my actions get leaked? Logically, I just arrived in Ning'an County, so no one should know about it?"

Is it a coincidence?

Lu Yang thought about where he was going next and originally planned to meet Uncle Zhu Liu.

But he didn't know whether the person following him was a friend or foe, and he was afraid of getting Uncle Zhu into trouble.

"Why not?" An idea suddenly occurred to him. "Why not go see her?"

Who is she?

He is the marriage that Lu Yang's father arranged for him in his early years, Zhang Xiu Yu from the Zhang family.

The Zhang family is now very powerful and can be considered one of the richest families in Ning'an County.

Lu Yang heard from Uncle Zhu Liu that in his early years, Lu Yang's father had done business with Zhang Xiu Yu's father.

The two had a deep friendship and were engaged when they were young, and they even had a marriage certificate.

Moreover, Uncle Zhu Liu transferred all the money left to him by Lu Yang's father to the Zhang family for safekeeping.

Because Zhu Liu was afraid that he would make some mistakes while being alone outside and lose the money again.

But after giving the money, Zhu Liu felt a little regretful, saying that this Zhang man was now a bit sanctimonious and a complete hypocrite.

So, no matter who is following behind? Lu Yang plans to lead them to Zhang's house.

A time to trick a guy named Zhang.

The Zhang family was engaged in cloth trade and had many branches in various southern provinces.

Logically speaking, such a big deal would not encroach on Lu Yang's property.

Soon, Lu Yang arrived at Zhang's house.

It's so grand. You can see a big house with three entrances and three exits from a long distance.

The house is built with carved beams and high walls, and the walls are surrounded by towering locust trees.

Lu Yang got off the car, carrying his suitcase, looking exhausted as if he had just gotten off the train.

He looked around naturally and made sure that the Pontiac sedan was parked not far away.

Then he slowly walked up the stairs carrying the box.

He raised his hand and rang the door knocker.

After a few sounds, the door creaked open a crack.

A doorman showed one eye and looked Lu Yang up and down.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhang's residence?"

The first time you visit someone’s home, don’t call the future Mr. Taishan by his name.

"Yes, you are?"

"Excuse me, I'm Lu Yang from Meilin Village, and my father's name is Lu Zhizhou."

The doorman nodded, said "please wait a moment", closed the door and went in.

Lu Yang was a little puzzled. Given the relationship between his two families, he should have let me go in and wait. Wasn't this a bit of a disrespect to me?

However, what happened next made Lu Yang even more angry and embarrassed!

The door opened again, and this time a young man came out. He was older than Lu Yang, about 30 years old.

He was of decent appearance, but not as tall as Lu Yang. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and a short Chinese silk jacket.

After he came out, he puffed out his chest arrogantly, looked up at Lu Yang and said, "I am Zhang Xiuyu's cousin. My uncle is not at home, so I am managing the business at the company. Tell me what you have to say."

Lu Yang thought, "How can I tell you this? You're not from the Zhang family."

"Okay, I'll go to the business to find Uncle Zhang."

"Wait? What on earth can you do for me?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses called Lu Yang from behind.

Lu Yang slowly turned his head and looked up at the sign of Zhang Mansion.

"I'm sorry, I've come to the wrong place. I was looking for Zhang Taiyue, but there's no one here with the last name Zhang. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and pointed at the words "Zhang Mansion" above his head and said to the stunned man in glasses, "By the way, you should quickly change this sign to "Wu Ming Shi Mansion."

"You? You're such a bold lunatic, how dare you act so wildly in front of the Zhang residence?"

The man with glasses finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his arms as if to attack.

A few servants came out from behind, waving sticks and pretending to be powerful.

"Tsk," Lu Yang laughed disdainfully.

"Stop embarrassing yourself here and call your master out. I've been listening for a long time and I think I've figured it out."

After saying that, he took off his suit, revealing the silk vest underneath.

He folded his suit over his arm and put his hands on his waist, looking like a prince who had studied abroad.

Lu Yang's analysis was good when he first started reporting.

Zhang Xiu Yu and her parents began to discuss in the backyard.

They received the news half a month ago and knew that Lu Yang might come back.

In the past, the two families might have become relatives.

But now the Lu family has completely fallen on hard times, with no land or house. With only a young master in name only, it's unclear what he'll do when he returns.

The Zhang family is now a big landlord, and people in Ning'an County who come to propose marriage have been clamoring for them, especially this cousin who has been eyeing his family for a long time.

I come here almost every day just to see Zhang Xiu Yu.

But since I had written a marriage certificate since I was young, anyone who came to propose marriage would turn away when they heard about it.

Even the best families would avoid this.

Zhang Taiyue thought of a way and planned to use the money left by the Lu family to threaten Lu Yang. If Lu Yang wanted the money, he had to cancel the marriage certificate.

That is to say, to break off the engagement.

Sure enough, it came today. The family discussed it in the backyard for a long time and then asked this cousin to come out and deal with it first.

First, let’s dampen Lu Yang’s enthusiasm.

Zhang Taiyue sat in the room and saw that the person he was dealing with had not returned for a long time, so he knew that the negotiation had not been concluded.

When the servants in front of him rushed out shouting, he became a little restless.

"Dad, you must not agree to this. I don't want to marry such a poor guy." When Zhang Xiu Yu saw her father stand up, she hurriedly grabbed his arm and begged him.

This woman has long hair and little knowledge. Her mother and her aunt next to her are fanning the flames.

"Yes, Master, you only have one daughter, Xiuyu. You can't push her into the fire pit."

"Humph! You don't even need to tell me that! Even the vice president of Hangzhou's Chamber of Commerce has taken a liking to our girl. How can I give that poor boy a chance?"

Zhang Taiyue flicked his sleeves and strode towards the door with great dignity.

The three women behind him looked at each other and ran out as well.
