Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

However, their story does not end there.

Because their death is just a new beginning...

In an alley not far from "Night Shanghai", Qinglan, Zhou Qing and Ye Wanru were anxiously waiting for news from Lu Yang.

They heard gunshots and explosions coming from "Fenghua" and their hearts were in their throats, fearing that something might happen to Lu Yang.

"No, I have to go in and take a look!" Qinglan couldn't wait any longer, she turned around and ran towards "Ye Shanghai".

"Comrade Qinglan, calm down!" Zhou Qing grabbed Qinglan and said, "It's too dangerous to rush in now!"

"But, Lu Yang..." Qinglan's eyes were filled with worry, "He's alone in there, I'm worried he'll be in danger."

"I believe the boss," Ye Wanru said, "He will be fine."

"But……"

"No buts," Ye Wanru interrupted Qinglan, "What we have to do now is to trust him and wait for him to come out."

Qinglan wanted to say something, but looking at Ye Wanru's determined eyes, she finally held back.

"Okay, let's wait."

The three of them waited anxiously in the alley.

As time passed, their hearts grew heavier.

Just when they were about to lose their patience, a figure suddenly rushed out from "Night Shanghai".

"Boss!" Zhou Qing recognized the man at a glance. It was Lu Yang!

"Boss, are you okay?" Zhou Qing hurried over and supported Lu Yang.

"I'm fine," Lu Yang shook his head, "Let's go!"

"But..." Zhou Qing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Yang.

"Don't worry, it's not safe here, we have to leave as soon as possible!"

Lu Yang and others quickly left the alley and disappeared into the night.

The "Night Shanghai" behind them had turned into a sea of ​​fire, with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky, as if it was going to completely devour this sinful place.

……

Three days later, in Shanghai.

Lu Yang, Qing Lan and Ye Wanru disguised themselves and went to a dance hall called "Paramount".

This is the most famous den of indulging in money in Shanghai, and it is also the place where various forces gather.

The purpose of Lu Yang's trip is to find a mysterious person named "Shadow".

"Shadow" is the person in charge of "No. 76" in Shanghai and a key figure in the "Mole" plan.

Lu Yang must find him in order to completely smash the "mole" plan and stop the Japanese army's conspiracy.

When Lu Yang and the other two walked into the Paramount, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Here, there is singing and dancing, bright lights and wine, and a scene of decadence and extravagance.

Scantily clad dancers twisted their bodies on the stage, while the guests in the audience drank, enjoyed the performance, and let out bursts of ambiguous laughter.

Lu Yang glanced around calmly, and his eyes finally fell on a private room on the second floor.

That box was Shadow's exclusive box.

"Let's go." Lu Yang said to Qinglan and Ye Wanru.

The three of them went to the second floor and found Shadow's box.

Lu Yang was about to push the door open when Qing Lan stopped him.

"Lu Yang, wait a minute," Qing Lan said, "I always feel like there's something wrong here."

"Oh? What did you find?" Lu Yang asked.

"Look," Qinglan pointed at the two guards at the door of the box and said, "These two guards look very familiar. I seem to have seen them somewhere."

Lu Yang looked at the two guards carefully and frowned.

"You're right," Lu Yang said, "I think I've seen these two guards before."

"Then what should we do?" Ye Wanru asked.

"Wait and see," Lu Yang said, "wait and see what happens."

The three of them hid in the dark, observing the situation in the box.

After a while, the door of the box opened and a man in a black suit and a top hat walked out.

That man is the "Shadow"!

"It's him!" Qinglan said, pointing at the "shadow".

Lu Yang nodded, and just as he was about to show up, suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Lu Yang, long time no see."

Lu Yang turned around suddenly and saw a man in military uniform standing behind him with a sinister smile on his face.

"Li Yunfei?!" Lu Yang's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"Are you surprised?" Li Yunfei sneered, "You didn't expect that we would meet again."

"You...you are still alive!" Lu Yang said in shock. He clearly saw Li Yunfei being blown to death with his own eyes. How could he still be alive?

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive," Li Yunfei said, "but you won't live much longer."

"What do you want to do?" Lu Yang asked.

"What? Of course, to kill you!" Li Yunfei said, raising the gun in his hand and pointing it at Lu Yang.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out and Lu Yang fell to the ground.

"Lu Yang!" Seeing this, Qinglan and Ye Wanru hurried over and supported Lu Yang.

"You...you guys hurry up and leave..." Lu Yang said with difficulty, "Don't worry about me..."

"No, we won't abandon you!" Qinglan said crying.

"Lu Yang, just go with peace of mind," Li Yunfei said with a sneer, "I will take good care of your women for you."

"You're dreaming!" Ye Wanru roared, she pulled out her pistol and pulled the trigger at Li Yunfei.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a burst of gunfire, and Li Yunfei fell to the ground.

"Wanru, are you okay?" Qinglan asked hurriedly.

"I'm fine," Ye Wanru shook her head, "Let's take Lu Yang away from here!"

Qinglan and Ye Wanru supported Lu Yang and quickly left the "Paramount".

And the "Paramount" behind them fell into chaos again...

Shanghai, this glamorous city that never sleeps, is now shrouded in a haze.

The Japanese army's iron hoofs trampled on this land, and the minions of the Wang Puppet Government were stirring up trouble in secret. Countless people of noble character and lofty ideals fought bloody battles in the darkness for the liberation of the nation and the future of the country.

Qinglan and Ye Wanru brought the seriously injured Lu Yang to a safe haven. It was a modest apartment in the French Concession. The room was small and simply furnished, but it was safe and hidden, making it difficult to be noticed.

"Lu Yang, how are you?" Qing Lan asked anxiously. With trembling hands, she unbuttoned Lu Yang's shirt and checked his injuries. The bullet had pierced his left shoulder, and the blood stained his shirt, a shocking sight.

"I'm fine." Lu Yang's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but he endured the pain and said casually. "I won't die."

"You're still saying you're fine, but you're still trying to be brave even though you're in this state!" Ye Wanru said from the side, her tone filled with a hint of blame and a hint of heartache. "I'll go find a doctor."

"No," Lu Yang stopped Ye Wanru. "It's too dangerous to go out now. If we're discovered by the people from Unit 76, we're all doomed." He knew that these were critical times and there was no room for slackness or carelessness. Furthermore, while the Shanghai Concession was relatively safe, it wasn't completely secure. The Japanese army and the agents from Unit 76 were omnipresent, and they might come knocking at any moment.

"But, your injury..." Qinglan looked at Lu Yang's injury, anxious, "It must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will get infected."

"I have a solution." Lu Yang said, pulling out a packet of medicinal powder from his pocket and handing it to Qing Lan. "This is a secret recipe I got from an old Chinese doctor. It can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. Please help me apply it."

Qinglan took the powder and carefully applied it to Lu Yang's wound. Lu Yang gritted his teeth in pain, but he never said a word, just enduring it silently.

"Lu Yang, why did you do this?" Qing Lan asked while bandaging Lu Yang's wound, "You obviously didn't have to take such a risk. You obviously could..."

"No buts," Lu Yang interrupted Qing Lan, "I am a soldier and a member of the Communist Party. It is my duty to defend my country. In order to complete the mission, I must do this. I cannot back down!"

"But, have you ever thought about Nianjun? Have you ever thought about me?" Qinglan could no longer control her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Yang reached out his right hand and gently stroked Qinglan's cheek, wiping away the tears from her eyes. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love. "Qinglan, I know you're worried about me, but please believe me, I will definitely come back safely. For you, for Nianjun, and for our shared ideals, I will definitely come back alive!"

"Yeah." Qinglan nodded. She knew that Lu Yang would not change his mind easily. The only thing she could do now was to support him silently and pray for his safe return.

"Boss, why is Li Yunfei in Shanghai? Shouldn't he be in Xuzhou?" Ye Wanru asked from the side with a hint of doubt in her tone.

"If I'm not mistaken, he came to Shanghai on a mission under Boss Dai's orders," Lu Yang said after a moment's hesitation, trying to recall the information in his mind, trying to find the answer. "Boss Dai has always suspected that I'm a Communist, so he sent him to monitor me and use me as bait to lure out a bigger target."

"Boss Dai?" Ye Wanru frowned. "What should we do now? Should we report to the organization?"

"Not yet," Lu Yang waved his hand. "We must investigate this matter secretly and not alert the enemy. Otherwise, if Boss Dai knows that we have discovered his secret, the consequences will be disastrous."

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

"First, heal your wound," Lu Yang said. "Once I'm healed, we can make a long-term plan."

In the next few days, Lu Yang's injuries gradually improved under the care of Qinglan and Ye Wanru.

He began to secretly investigate Li Yunfei's whereabouts and tried to find out his real purpose in coming to Shanghai.

He discovered that Li Yunfei's mission in Shanghai this time was to investigate a secret plan code-named "Mole".

This plan was jointly planned by the Japanese and the Wang Puppet Government, and its target was senior generals lurking within the Kuomintang.

Lu Yang was keenly aware that this "mole" plan would be a huge threat to the Party, the country and the War of Resistance Against Japan.

He decided to stop the implementation of this plan at all costs.

However, he didn't know that danger was approaching him step by step...
