Lu Yang and Zhou Qing sat on the side of the road, waiting for the passing military vehicles.

The summer sun scorched the asphalt road, and the air was filled with a burning smell.

The two chatted idly, looking up into the distance from time to time, hoping to see a military vehicle approaching.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from the distance.

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and saw a group of vehicles coming towards him.

"Here I come!" Lu Yang stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

The convoy drew closer, and Lu Yang could see clearly that it was a fleet of luxury cars. The second car slowly stopped in front of them, the door opened, and a man in a Mao suit and high-end glasses stepped out.

"Lu Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's really better to meet you by chance than to see you by name." The man said with a smile.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, carefully examining the person before him. The face looked familiar, but he couldn't place it. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Dean Wang!" Lu Yang exclaimed, "What a coincidence."

It turned out that this person was Wang Wen, the Executive Yuan President, who later became a big traitor and established two governments and appointed himself as prime minister.

Wang Wen walked over with a smile and held out his hand: "Director Lu, how are you?"

Lu Yang quickly shook his hand, a smile on his face: "Dean Wang, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm on a tour of the four provinces along the Yangtze River." Wang Wen said casually, "But you, why are you here?"

Lu Yang smiled awkwardly: "The car is out of gas, and I'm waiting for help."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wen immediately turned around and said to his entourage, "Quick, fill up Director Lu's car with gas."

"Dean Wang, you're too polite." Lu Yang said quickly.

Wang Wen waved his hand: "It's a small matter. By the way, Director Lu, would you like to go on the inspection with me?"

Lu Yang declined, "Thank you, Dean Wang, for your kindness, but I still have some things to do."

Wang Wen nodded, turned around and asked his secretary to write a note: "This is my camp address for the past month. If Director Lu has any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."

Lu Yang took the business card and said respectfully, "Thank you, Dean Wang."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Wang Wen got into the car and left.

Looking at the convoy going away, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Qing came over and asked in a low voice: "Who is this Wang Wen?"

Lu Yang lowered his voice and said, "His power in the upper echelons is no less than that of the four major families. He is a founding member of the party. Now that he has grown stronger, he has begun to recruit soldiers and expand his power."

Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully: "Why not consider him and get more intelligence for our party?"

Lu Yang nodded: "We can consider this. Let's go to Wuzhen first."

The two got in the car and continued driving towards Wuzhen. After driving for a while, the car came to a fork in the road. Suddenly, a roadblock appeared ahead, and several soldiers with live ammunition blocked the way.

"Damn it, it's the local warlords setting up checkpoints and exploiting people again." Lu Yang cursed.

An officer came over and knocked on the car window: "Get out of the car and be inspected!"

Lu Yang and Zhou Qing got out of the car reluctantly. The officer looked them up and down and held out his hand: "Toll, five yuan each."

"Five dollars? Isn't this robbery?" Zhou Qing had Lu Yang's support and was not afraid of these small stragglers at all.

The soldier raised his eyebrows and walked over with his gun in hand. "What? You have an opinion?"

Lu Yang ignored him and observed several shooting positions in the distance.

He plans to kill these guys.

I have been suffering from Chen Yijun's anger these past few days, and now that the murderous intent has surged, it is even more difficult to suppress it.

He quickly gestured for the money and pulled Zhou Qing over.

"Lao Zhou, go to the trunk of the car and get the gun."

Old Zhou nodded happily. He had been bullied all the way and it was time to vent his anger.

Lu Yang stood in front of the car, took out a pistol from his waist, and opened the safety with a "click".

At this time, Zhou Qing hid behind the car and nodded to him.

Lu Yang looked and saw Zhou Qing holding a fancy machine gun.

So I laughed. It seemed that Lao Zhou really wanted to kill me.

Suddenly, he remembered that Zhou Qing was still working at the Northwest Party Office. "Old Zhou, are you going back to the Northwest to take up your post?"

This reminded Lao Zhou, "Well, that's the organization's mission, unless I'm exposed."

"Forget it, don't use the gun, or you will definitely be exposed."

Zhou Qing put the flower machine back into the carriage with regret, "Hey...you decide. I'll listen to you."

Only then did Lu Yang remember that he didn't bring any money with him when he went out.

He looked at Zhou Qing awkwardly and spread his hands to indicate that he had no money.

When Zhou Qing saw this, he grinned but also looked helpless.

Lu Yang could only turn around and give it a try.

"Hey, brother~" Lu Yang tried to explain, "I'm the warden of Jinling Prison. Here's my ID. Can you make an exception?"

The officer looked at the ID and sneered, "Warden? You'll have to pay! Don't even think about going in if you don't have money!"

Lu Yang and Zhou Qing looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Just then, another engine sound was heard in the distance.

"Another car is coming." Zhou Qing said in a low voice.

Lu Yang turned around and saw that it was Wang Wen’s convoy again.

He was delighted and waved towards Wang Wen's car.

Wang Wen's car stopped and he stuck his head out: "Director Lu, nice to see you again. What's going on? Are you in trouble?"

Lu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "President Wang, I'm so sorry. We were stopped, but we didn't have any money on us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wen immediately said to the officer, "These two are my friends. Let them go."

When the officer heard that they were Wang Wen's friends, his attitude immediately changed, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Dean Wang, you are right. Please come over quickly."

Lu Yang and Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Wang Wen.

Wang Wen smiled and said, "Director Lu, do you want to come with me?"

Lu Yang thought about it and felt that following Wang Wen might help him avoid more trouble, so he nodded and agreed: "Then I'll bother Dean Wang."

Just like that, one of Wang Wen's men drove Lu Yang's car.

Lu Yang and Zhou Qing got into Wang Wen's car.

Everyone moved on.

In the car, Lu Yang and Wang Wen chatted casually.

"Director Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Yang smiled and replied, "Wuzhen."

Wang Wen: "Oh? It's quite nice. The scenery there is beautiful and the people are outstanding. I wonder if you are there on business or not?"

Lu Yang "has some personal matters"

Wang Wen looked at Zhou Qing in front of him.

"Who is this?"

Lu Yang quickly introduced.

"He's a secretary of the Northwest Government, and he's a personal friend of mine. I took him on some personal business and then I went back."

"Oh, Northwest China? That's the front line between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It seems this guy is also a talent."

Wang Wen was like a possessed person, looking eager to recruit talented people.

Lu Yang replied modestly.

"I dare not, I'm just an ordinary person."

"Hmm? No, being on good terms with someone like you means it can't be bad."

Lu Yang saw Wang Wen praising him constantly, but he didn't know what he was up to.

"Dean Wang, if you need anything, my brother can help you." Lu Yang wanted to put Lao Zhou next to Wang Wen, otherwise the crazy Chen Yijun would use Lao Zhou to threaten him at every turn.

"Oh? That's great."

"Director Lu, I heard that you have been very active in Jinling recently." Wang Wen said meaningfully.

Lu Yang's heart tightened, but he remained calm: "No, no, I'm just doing my job."

Wang Wen smiled and said, "Director Lu is too modest. I heard that you have a good relationship with the Chen family?"

Lu Yang was secretly wary, not knowing what Wang Wen meant. He replied vaguely, "Minister Chen has been very kind to me."

Wang Wen nodded and said nothing more.

The car continued to move forward, but Lu Yang's mind drifted far away.

When they arrived in Wuzhen, the two families said goodbye again.

"Dean Wang, thank you for seeing me off all the way!"
