Shanghai, a bustling city with foreign charm, is a dazzling spectacle with bright lights.

Lu Yang stood by the Huangpu River, looking at the ships passing by on the river, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

This was where he had fought and where he had been glorious, but now, everything had changed.

He was no longer the powerful major general of the Military Control Commission, but a "dead man", a "ghost".

"Lu Yang, are you really determined to do this?" Qing Lan walked to Lu Yang and asked softly, with a hint of worry and reluctance in her voice.

"This is our only chance," Lu Yang said. His voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable determination. "We must seize this opportunity and completely destroy the enemy's 'destruction' plan!"

"But this is too risky," Qinglan said, "What if something happens to you? What should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Lu Yang smiled, a smile that was bitter and helpless. "Besides, I still have you and Zhou Qing. You will definitely complete the task for me, right?"

"Lu Yang..." Qinglan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Yang.

"Qinglan, I know what you're worried about," Lu Yang said, "but you have to believe me, I won't joke with my life. I will definitely come back alive and live a peaceful life with you and Nianjun."

"Well, I believe you." Qinglan nodded, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Don't cry," Lu Yang reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears from Qinglan's face. "Remember, no matter what happens, you must protect yourself."

"Yeah." Qinglan nodded and leaned her head on Lu Yang's shoulder.

The two of them snuggled together, looking at the boats passing by on the river. No one spoke, only the river breeze whistled softly in their ears.

"Boss, everything has been arranged," Zhou Qing's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "When do we take action?"

"Wait until dark." Lu Yang said. He looked up at the sky. A blood-red setting sun was slowly setting in the west, dyeing the entire sky blood-red.

This bloody setting sun is very similar to Lu Yang's mood at the moment, and it also foreshadows that a bloody storm is about to come.

"Damn it, I can finally do something big!" Zhou Qing said excitedly, rubbing his hands together, eager to give it a try.

"Don't be too happy too soon," Lu Yang patted Zhou Qing's shoulder, "This operation is of vital importance, and there must not be any mistakes!"

"Don't worry, Boss," Zhou Qing said, "I promise to complete the task!"

"Yeah." Lu Yang nodded. He knew that although Zhou Qing was a little impulsive at ordinary times, he was still reliable at critical moments.

"I'll go and prepare. You should also go to bed early and recharge your energy." Lu Yang said, turning and walking into the hotel.

Qinglan looked at Lu Yang's receding figure, her heart filled with worry. She didn't know whether Lu Yang's action would succeed, nor did she know whether they would ever meet again.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry," Zhou Qing walked over to Qing Lan and comforted her. "Who is the boss? He's the Falcon. He's seen all sorts of storms. This time, he'll definitely be able to pull it off!"

"Well, I believe him." Qinglan nodded, but his eyes were still full of worry.

"Let's go and take a break," Zhou Qing said. "Only when we have enough energy can we fight better!"

"Yeah." Qinglan agreed and walked into the hotel with Zhou Qing.

At this time, Ye Wanru came to a cemetery on the outskirts of Shanghai alone.

She stood in front of a tombstone, looking quietly at the photo on it.

The photo shows the face of a young man, handsome, sunny and full of vitality.

"Brother, I'm here to see you," Ye Wanru said softly, her voice choking with sobs. "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

She took out a photo from her bosom, and the photo showed the appearance of "Cobra".

"This is the murderer who killed you. I will definitely kill him with my own hands to avenge you!" Ye Wanru said, placing the photo in front of the tombstone, then lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the tombstone.

Green smoke curled up, and a resolute expression appeared on Ye Wanru's face.

"Brother, your spirit in heaven must protect me!" Ye Wanru murmured to herself, then turned around and strode away.

Her figure, in the afterglow of the setting sun, appeared particularly lonely and determined.

At this time, Lu Yang was standing alone in the hotel room, looking out the window.

In his hand, he held a photo. In the photo was the face of a young woman, beautiful, moving, and full of youthful vitality.

That is Ye Wanru's photo.

Lu Yang looked at Ye Wanru in the photo with a complicated look in his eyes, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Who?" Lu Yang asked. He put the photo away and put it in his pocket.

"It's me, Chen Yijun." Chen Yijun's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Lu Yang said, he walked to the door and opened it.

Chen Yijun walked in. She was wearing a well-fitting professional suit and looked smart and capable, worthy of being a senior figure in the Central Bureau of Investigation.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yang asked, with a hint of surprise and a hint of vigilance in his tone.

"I came to see you," Chen Yijun said, "and by the way, I have some news for you."

"What news?" Lu Yang asked.

"Regarding the news about the 'Mole' project," Chen Yijun said, "I've found some new clues."

"Oh?" Lu Yang raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."

"According to the intelligence I've received, the 'Mole' Project is more than just a treasure map," Chen Yijun said. "It also involves a secret military operation by the Japanese army in China."

"What military operation?" Lu Yang asked.

"The specifics are still unclear," Chen Yijun shook her head, "but I suspect this military action is similar to what the Japanese army did in Northeast China back then."

"The specifics are still unclear," Chen Yijun shook her head, "but I suspect this military action is related to the Japanese Army's 'Unit 731' in Northeast China."

"Unit 731?!" Lu Yang exclaimed in shock. He was very familiar with this name. It was a synonym for hell on earth and the devil's laboratory!

"Yes," Chen Yijun nodded. "I suspect the treasure mentioned in the 'Mole' Project is very likely related to the 'research results' of Unit 731."

"This..." Lu Yang's heart was filled with shock. He had never imagined that this matter was actually related to the "Unit 731"!

"Is this just your guess, or..." Lu Yang asked, trying to find out the truth of the matter.

"It's just speculation at the moment," Chen Yijun said, "but I will continue investigating. Also, based on my investigations over the past few days, I've made some progress."

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

"Remember the 'Mole's' contact, 'Nightingale', whom I mentioned to you?" Chen Yijun said, "I found some information about her."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Lu Yang's heart moved. He had always been curious about the identity of this "Nightingale".

"According to the secret archives of the Central Bureau of Investigation, the codename 'Nightingale' first appeared in Shanghai ten years ago," Chen Yijun said slowly. "She was a very mysterious woman. No one knew her real name or what she looked like. All we knew was that she was extremely skilled and proficient in various espionage techniques. Moreover, she had intricate ties with Shanghai's Green Gang, Hongmen, and other gangs."

"Ten years ago..." Lu Yang muttered to himself. He suddenly remembered something, "Could it be her?"

"Do you know her?" Chen Yijun keenly caught the message in Lu Yang's words.

"Not sure," Lu Yang shook his head, "just a guess."

"No matter what, this 'Nightingale' is a very dangerous person," Chen Yijun said. "If you meet her next time, be sure to be careful."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Yang nodded, but he was thinking about something else in his heart.

If the "Nightingale" is really Ye Wanru, then why did she help him? What is her purpose?

"There's one more thing," Chen Yijun suddenly said, "I suspect there are Japanese spies within the Central Bureau of Investigation."

"What?!" Lu Yang was shocked. "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible," Chen Yijun said with a bitter smile on her face. "Over the years, the Central Bureau of Investigation has been deeply infiltrated, but we just haven't noticed it yet."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Yang asked.

"I will investigate secretly," Chen Yijun said, "but it's best if you don't interfere in this matter, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Yang nodded. He knew that Chen Yijun did this to protect him.

"Then be careful," Lu Yang said, "If you need any help, just ask."

"Yeah." Chen Yijun nodded, then turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Lu Yang suddenly stopped her, "Are you...are you really from the Central Bureau of Investigation?"

Chen Yijun stopped, looked back at Lu Yang, smiled, and said nothing.

She walked up to Lu Yang and hugged him gently.

"Lu Yang," Chen Yijun whispered in Lu Yang's ear, "You must remember, no matter what happens, I will always stand by you."

After saying that, she let go of Lu Yang, turned around and walked out of the room.

Lu Yang stood there, looking at Chen Yijun's receding back, an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart.

This woman was like a mystery that he could never see through.

However, he could feel that Chen Yijun's care and love for him were sincere and unreserved.

"I hope you won't let me down..." Lu Yang murmured to himself, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

After Chen Yijun left, Lu Yang paced back and forth in the room alone.

He must take action as soon as possible to stop the implementation of the "Mole" plan. At the same time, he must find out the true identity of "Nightingale" and the secret behind her.

He walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the dark night sky outside.

The night wind, with a hint of coolness, blew on his face, making him feel awake.

He knew that a more brutal and dangerous battle was about to begin.

And he must go all out to win this battle!

Lu Yang's heart was a mess, and he was extremely irritated. He walked over to the table, plopped down, and poured himself a cup of cold tea, gulping it down in a few gulps, trying to drown his annoyance like it was strong liquor.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on!" Lu Yang cursed in a low voice and slammed his fist on the table, shaking the teacup so much that it jumped up.

He originally thought that after killing the "Cobra" and destroying the "Elizabeth", the matter would be over. But who would have thought that this was just the beginning!

"Unit 731", "Mole Project", "Nightingale"... these messy things were like a tangled mess, making his head hurt.

What made him even more uneasy was that this "mole" plan seemed to be related to the Japanese army's secret military operations. If this was true, the consequences would be serious!

"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" Lu Yang stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room. "We have to think of a way to muddy this pond and lure out all these monsters!"

There was a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes, like a beast that was forced into a desperate situation, ready to fight a final battle.

Suddenly, Lu Yang's eyes fell on a newspaper on the table, which he brought out from "Yihongyuan" today.

The front page of the newspaper boldly reported the news of the bombing of the "Elizabeth". The headline even used the sensational words: "Military Control Commission bandits attacked the merchant ship, the "Elizabeth" was tragically blown up, and heavy casualties were caused!"

"Bah! Damn Military Control Commission bandits! I'm doing justice for the people!" Lu Yang spat. He knew that "No. 76" was the thief crying "stop thief" and deliberately confusing the public and throwing dirty water on the Military Control Commission.

But as he read, Lu Yang's eyes lit up. He stared at the title, a strange smile slowly spreading across his lips, like an old fox spotting a fat chicken caught in a trap.

"Hey, got it!" Lu Yang slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly. He already had a bold plan in mind.

"Zhou Qing! Qinglan!" Lu Yang shouted towards the door.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Zhou Qing pushed the door open and came in in a hurry.

"Go do something right away..." Lu Yang leaned close to Zhou Qing's ear and whispered.

"What? Boss, are you...are you sure you want to do this?" After hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes widened like copper bells and his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it. His expression looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"Stop talking nonsense, just go!" Lu Yang glared. "Remember, be quick, be ruthless, and make a big fuss!"

"Well... okay." Although Zhou Qing was full of doubts, he still followed the order and left. After all, Lu Yang was the boss.

"Qinglan," Lu Yang called again.

"Hey, I'm here." Qinglan responded and walked into the house, holding a coat in her hand, which was prepared for Lu Yang.

"You go..." Lu Yang looked at Qinglan and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

He looked Qinglan up and down, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"You...why are you looking at me like that?" Qinglan felt a little scared by Lu Yang's gaze and couldn't help asking.
