Inside the Chen family mansion, the laughter and joy came to an abrupt end.

"What? Lu Yang was assassinated?" Minister Chen stood up suddenly, his face changing suddenly.

Chen Yijun's face turned pale, and she clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands: "How could this happen? Where is Zheng Huaitai? Isn't he responsible for protecting Lu Yang?"

Minister Chen frowned, his rage burning in his chest: "Good-for-nothing! Where are the people Zheng Huaitai is following? Why don't you save him?"

At the same time, the Military Control Commission headquarters was in an uproar.

Dai Yunong slammed the table and stood up: "Tang Qian, what are you doing? You can't even protect one person?"

Tang Qian lowered his head, sweat pouring down his face. "I am guilty. Our men have lost track of Lu Yang."

Dai Yunong sneered: "Lost? Are those people who followed him just for free? Why can't they join the protection?"

Tang Qian hesitated, "We don't know... we don't know. Maybe... Lu Yang got rid of our people."

"Useless!" Dai Yunong cursed. "Investigate this matter thoroughly and find the mastermind behind this!"

At this time, Lu Yang was sitting alone in his study with a frown on his face.

He stroked his chin, thinking about what had happened today. "Poison Bee, he must be killed." Lu Yang muttered to himself, "He is too dangerous."

Lu Yang knew that Du Feng wanted to kill him because he knew his background. But what worried Lu Yang even more was Ying Zi, because Du Feng knew about his relationship with Ying Zi.

"Li Guozhu!" Lu Yang suddenly shouted.

Li Guozhu rushed in: "Brother Lu, what are your instructions?"

Lu Yang said seriously, "Go and protect Wenjuan and Wanru. I have something to go out for."

Li Guozhu was stunned: "Brother Lu, you just got assassinated. It's too dangerous to go out now!"

Lu Yang waved his hand: "It's okay, I have my own plans. You just need to protect them."

Although Li Guozhu was worried, he nodded and agreed.

After Li Guozhu left, Lu Yang changed into ordinary clothes and quietly slipped out of the yard. He wanted to see Yingzi and ask her if she had any information about the poisonous bees.

Walking on the streets of Jinling City, Lu Yang observed his surroundings with vigilance. There were too many people following him now. It was impossible for the Japanese to follow him along with the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission. So how did they know his itinerary?

Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Lu Yang's mind: Could it be that there is an undercover agent of Poison Bee around him?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but quicken his pace. He had to see Yingzi as soon as possible and find out the situation.

Arriving at the agreed location, Lu Yang carefully entered a secluded hut. Yingzi was already waiting there.

"Lu Yangjun," Yingzi asked nervously as soon as she saw him, "Are you okay? I heard you were assassinated."

Lu Yang shook his head: "I'm fine. Yingzi, I need your help. Do you have the latest information about the poisonous bees?"

Yingzi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "There have indeed been some rumors recently. It is said that the Poison Bee has formed a secret team in Jinling City, specifically targeting you."

Lu Yang's eyes lit up: "Do you know where their base is?"

Yingzi shook her head: "I don't know the exact location, but I heard it's related to a grain store."

Lu Yang nodded thoughtfully. On the way back, he kept thinking about Yingzi's words. Grain store... Grain store...

Suddenly, Lu Yang thought of something. He quickened his pace back home and went straight to the study.

"Xiaohong!" Lu Yang shouted.

A young maid ran in hurriedly: "Master, you called me?"

Lu Yang stared at Xiao Hong with sharp eyes: "Xiao Hong, are you surprised that I came back alive today?"

Xiao Hong was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Master, what do you mean? Why would I think that?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Xiaohong, your family is from Suzhou. Let me ask you, do you know how many roads there are from Suzhou to Nanjing? How do you get there? Do you know how much a dou of rice costs in Suzhou?"

Xiao Hong was stunned and stammered, "Master, I've never done this since I was a child, so I don't know."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, having already made up his mind. He waved his hand: "Okay, you can go down."

Xiaohong hurriedly retreated, cold sweat already appearing on her forehead.

Lu Yang sat in a chair, lost in thought. He decided to have someone secretly follow Xiao Hong to see if they could find any clues.

Sure enough, not long after, the person who was following her brought back the news: Xiaohong often went to a grain store, but never bought grain.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. It seemed that this grain store was the base of the poisonous bees.

He immediately called together several confidants and began to formulate a capture plan.

"Li Guozhu," Lu Yang said seriously, "Take a few people with you and go to that grain store tonight and arrest everyone inside."

Li Guozhu nodded: "I understand, Brother Lu."

Just as Lu Yang was about to take action, Chen Yijun was restless. She had been waiting for news from Lu Yang, but there was no news.

"Second uncle," Chen Yijun couldn't help but ask, "Is Lu Yang really okay?"

Minister Chen sighed: "Don't worry, that kid is lucky. But this incident is indeed strange."

Chen Yijun bit her lip and asked, "Could it be the Japanese who did it?"

Minister Chen shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. If the Japanese wanted to take action, they wouldn't be so reckless. It seems more like..." He suddenly stopped.

"Like what?" Chen Yijun asked.

Minister Chen was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "It looks like one of our own did it."

Chen Yijun widened her eyes: "How is it possible? Who would..."

Before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Minister!" Zheng Huaitai rushed in. "Oh no! Our people found Lu Yang going out alone again!"

Minister Chen stood up suddenly: "What? Is this kid crazy? Running around just after being assassinated?"

Chen Yijun was also anxious: "Second Uncle, we have to go find him!"

Minister Chen waved his hand: "Don't go, it's too dangerous. Zheng Huaitai, take people to find Lu Yang immediately and make sure to protect his safety!"

Zheng Huaitai nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

"Wait," Minister Chen suddenly stopped him, "Remember, don't alert the enemy. Just protect them secretly and don't let Lu Yang find out."

Zheng Huaitai was a little confused, but still nodded in agreement.

As night fell, the city of Jinling was shrouded in darkness.

Lu Yang brought a few confidants and quietly came to the vicinity of the grain store.

"Are you all ready?" Lu Yang asked in a low voice.
