Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

As night falls, Kai Island is shrouded in silence. Only the sound of waves hitting the shore echoes in the silent night sky.

Lu Yang, like a ghost in the night, quietly sneaked into the residence of Inoue Rizhao's mistress. He was agile and nimble, avoiding all sentries and patrols, as if blending into the darkness and disappearing without a trace.

Coming to the window of the target room, he gently pushed it open and slipped in. In the room, under the dim light, Inoue Rishao was lying drunkenly on the bed, hugging his mistress.

Next to him, a Japanese guard was leaning on a chair and dozing off. The samurai sword in his hand fell to the ground with a slight sound.

"Hmph, so lax!" Lu Yang sneered. He knew that now was a good opportunity to take action. Without alerting Inoue Rishao, he quietly walked behind the Japanese guard and quickly broke his neck.

"Um..." Before the guard could make any sound, he collapsed limply to the ground and could never wake up again.

Lu Yang skillfully hid the guard's body, then walked to the bed, suddenly pulled back the quilt, and pulled Inoue Rishao off the bed.

“Ah…? Baka! Who are you?!” Inoue Hitachi was frightened to death by this sudden change before he even woke up from his sleep.

His lover was sleeping soundly beside him.

He looked at Lu Yang in a daze, his face full of horror and disbelief.

Lu Yang didn't answer. He took out a towel and stuffed it into Inoue's mouth to prevent him from shouting. Then he swiftly tied Inoue Rishao up, hoisted him over his shoulder, and quickly disappeared into the night.

……

Back in the safe house, Lu Yang threw Inoue Rishao to the ground and splashed cold water on him to wake him up.

"Baga! Who...are you?!" Inoue Rishao came to his senses and glared at Lu Yang fiercely, "I am the Great Japanese Empire..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Yang interrupted him rudely, "Tell me, why did you take Dr. Liu to East India?"

"What on earth are you guys going to do?"

"I advise you to tell the truth!"

Lu Yang pulled out a dagger from his waist and waved it in front of Inoue's eyes, "Otherwise..."

Lu Yang didn't finish his words, but Inoue Rizhao knew very well that what he said "otherwise"... was definitely not a good thing.

……

Under Lu Yang's torture, Inoue Rizhao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he confessed everything he knew.

"I... I was originally planning to fly to East India..." he stammered, "but... Doctor Liu said... he was afraid of flying..."

"So... I agreed to take the boat..." Inoue said, a hint of shame on his face.

"I didn't expect... that it would fall into your hands..."

"Going to East India... just for... Doctor Liu?" Zhou Qing looked at Inoue Rizhao in disbelief. "Does he think he's... the emperor? How dare he command a great general? Haha..."

Inoue glared at Zhou Qing hatefully, but didn't dare to refute.

"When do you plan to leave?" Lu Yang asked.

"Three days later..." Inoue answered truthfully.

"What kind of boat are you taking?"

"It's a... small warship..." Inoue Hikari said, his tone becoming a little proud, "This warship is the latest model..."

He wanted to brag about how powerful this warship was, but Lu Yang interrupted him rudely.

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the boat parked?" Lu Yang asked sternly.

"In... the naval port!"

"Naval port?" Lu Yang frowned. "The naval port is heavily guarded. We..."

He wanted to say, "I'm afraid... we can't get in," but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He suddenly...thought of a bold...plan!

"How many people are there on this warship?" Lu Yang asked meaningfully, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

"Not much, not much..." Inoue shook his head. "This ship... is used to transport... special supplies..."

"Special supplies?" Lu Yang keenly caught these four words.

"What...special materials? Explain clearly!" He stared into Inoue's eyes and his tone became stern.

"I... don't know..." Inoue Rizhao was frightened by Lu Yang's eyes and trembled a little, "I... really... don't know..."

……

However, what he didn't know was that the document he was carrying had betrayed him!

That document is... the latest Southeast Asian combat plan formulated by the Japanese military!

"Old Zhou!" Lu Yang excitedly handed the battle plan to Zhou Qing, "Look at this!"

"What? Southeast Asia Operations Plan?" Zhou Qing took the document and looked over it carefully several times. "This is...something incredible!"

"This was found on... Inoue!" Lu Yang explained, "It seems... Inoue isn't going to East India at all! Instead, he's going to Burma to deliver this plan... to the Japanese Southern Army!"

"Then...what should we do now?" Zhou Qing asked.

"This..." Lu Yang walked to the window and looked at the lights flickering in the darkness in the distance. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly... thought of a bold plan!

"Let's... make use of Inoue!"

……

"How...how do you want to use me?" Inoue looked at Lu Yang in fear, with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Hehe..." Lu Yang smiled evilly, "Don't worry about this!"

……

"Inoue, tell me your personal information, family members, work experience, and network of relationships in the military!" Lu Yang said to Inoue Rishao while playing with the Mauser pistol in his hand. Lu Yanwang's invisible murderous aura suppressed people and made Inoue Rishao dare not hide anything.

"Yes... yes..." Inoue Hitachi was shaking with fear. He knew that the man in front of him was not a good person. If he annoyed him, the consequences would be disastrous.

"My name is Inoue Rishao, and I was born in..." He told Lu Yang all his information in detail.

Lu Yang listened patiently and wrote down all the information Inoue Rishao had sent him in his notebook.

"Why did you... betray the Emperor?" Inoue Rishao suddenly asked.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Inoue Rishao would ask such a question.

"Emperor?"

Inoue Rishao stammered and continued to ask: "Aren't you Japanese?"

Lu Yang now understood that his Japanese was becoming more and more like Japanese.

"You said I betrayed the Emperor?" He couldn't help but laugh. "Inoue, you still... don't see the situation clearly?"

"I am Chinese! My loyalty is to my own country, not your emperor!"

"You keep talking about 'East Asian Co-Prosperity,' but in reality... you just want to... enslave us!" Lu Yang said, a glint of anger in his eyes. "You Japanese, sooner or later... you will pay the price for your actions!"

Inoue Rishao was silent, he lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Old Zhou, take him down and give him a good 'treat'!" Lu Yang said to Zhou Qing, "This guy...maybe...he'll be useful in the future!"

"Remember...don't kill him!"

"I understand!" Zhou Qing chuckled, "This... I'm good at it!"

……

After Zhou Qing took Inoue Rishao away, Lu Yang took out a photo and studied it carefully.

This photo was taken by Inoue Hikari.

"This time, I'm going to dress up as you!" Lu Yang muttered to himself while looking at the photo of Inoue Rishao. "Hehe... I hope... my 'disguise skills'... haven't regressed!"
