Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

"how many people?"

"We killed a dozen of them together, and the rest were blown to death."

"Good job! Let's go pick up Qinglan."

"Yes, Uncle Lu."

At the same time, Qinglan had driven the car to the safe house he often visited.

She changed her clothes skillfully and took off the license plate.

Disguised as a middle-aged man, he walked towards the safe house.

Lu Yang once placed his two children here, and the three of them stayed here for a few days.

Qinglan knew that he had been exposed and could only make a final handover with the organization.

Lu Yang also told her that if one day you find that the buttons in your room are suddenly missing, it means that they already know that you have defected to the Japanese and may attack you.

Qinglan walked to the safe house, pushed open the door, and saw a familiar figure standing in the room.

"It's you?" An expression of surprise appeared on Qinglan's face.

"It's me," the man said, "you're here."

"How did you know I would come here?" Qinglan asked.

"Because I know you have nowhere else to go," the man said, "Qinglan, come back with me, back to the organization."

"Go back?" Qing Lan sneered, "What are you going back for? Continue to be your tool?"

"Qinglan, you misunderstood," the man said, "We have never treated you as a tool. We have always regarded you as a comrade and a friend."

"Comrade? Friend?" A mocking smile appeared on Qinglan's face. "Is this how you treat your comrades and friends? Sending me to a Japanese bed and letting me suffer humiliation, is this your comradeship?"

"Qinglan, this is all for the revolution, for our cause," the man said. "You have to understand and consider the overall situation."

"Consider the overall situation?" Qing Lan sneered. "What a great consideration for the overall situation! For this overall situation, I sacrificed my dignity, my happiness, and even my life! But what about you? What have you done for this overall situation? You are nothing but a bunch of rats hiding in the dark, a group of cowards who cannot stand the light!"

"Qinglan, you...how can you say that?" The man was stunned by Qinglan's words. He didn't expect that Qinglan, who was always docile, would say such a thing.

"Why can't I say that?" Qing Lan asked back, "Am I wrong? What exactly is your revolution, your cause? Isn't it just for your own power and your own interests? You are doing things even dirtier than the enemy under the banner of revolution! What's the difference between you and those traitors and those Japanese?"

"Qinglan, you... you have changed," the man said. "You have been corrupted by the enemy. You have betrayed our faith."

"Have I changed?" Qinglan smiled, a bleak and sad smile, "Yes, I have changed. I no longer believe in you, no longer believe in your hypocritical words. I only believe in myself, and I believe that only I can save myself!"

"Qinglan, you can't do this," the man said. "You can't betray the organization and the revolution."

"Betrayal?" Qing Lan sneered, "I have never betrayed anyone. I just don't want to be used by you anymore. I don't want to be your tool anymore!"

"Qinglan..." The man wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qinglan.

"That's enough!" Qing Lan said, "I've made it very clear. I won't go back with you. Go away. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other!"

"Qinglan, do you really want to do this?" the man asked, "Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"

"I know," Qinglan said, "but I don't care anymore."

"Okay, okay, okay!" The man said "Okay" three times in a row. "Since you're stubborn and refuse to change, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, the man pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Qinglan. "You asked for this!"

Qinglan looked at the black muzzle of the gun without a trace of fear on her face. "Shoot," she said. "Anyway, I've had enough of living."

The man's hand gripping the pistol trembled slightly. He looked at Qinglan with a complex expression, anger, regret, and a hint of pity. "Do you really think I dare not shoot?"

"Go ahead!" Qing Lan shouted, "Shoot me to death! Haven't you always wanted to get rid of me? Now's your chance, go ahead!"

The man gritted his teeth and finally, he pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot echoed in the room.

Qinglan fell to the ground, blood gushing from her chest, staining her clothes red.

The man looked at Qinglan lying on the ground, a flash of pain in his eyes, but then he regained his indifference. "You asked for this," he said, then turned and walked out of the room.

Just as he walked out of the room, suddenly, a gunshot was heard behind him.

"boom!"

The man fell to the ground, a bloody hole appeared on his back, and blood gushed out.

He turned around with difficulty and saw Lu Yang standing at the door.

"You...you..." He pointed at Lu Yang and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"What do you mean by 'I'?" Lu Yang said coldly, "Do you think I'll let you leave here alive?"

"You... aren't you... a policeman?" the man said intermittently, "Why... why..."

"Police?" Lu Yang sneered, "Do you really think I'm a policeman?"

"Who... who are you?" the man asked, his voice growing weaker and weaker, his eyes starting to unfocus.

"You don't need to know who I am." Lu Yang said, "You only need to know that you must die today!"

After saying that, Lu Yang raised his pistol again and pointed it at the man's head.

"No...don't..." the man shouted in horror. He wanted to escape, but found that his body was no longer under his control.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the man's head exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white all over the ground.

Lu Yang put away his pistol, glanced at the corpse on the ground, then turned around and walked into the room.

Qinglan was still lying on the ground, her face as pale as paper, but her eyes were still open, looking at Lu Yang.

"Are...are you okay?" Lu Yang walked to Qinglan, squatted down and asked.

"I...I'm fine..." Qinglan said weakly, "Why...why are you here?"

"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you," Lu Yang said. "How are you? Can you still walk?"

"I... I'm afraid... I can't leave..." Qinglan said, "You... you should leave quickly... Don't worry about me..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Yang said, "How can I ignore you? You even gave up your life for me, how can I abandon you?"

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

"Don't say but," Lu Yang said, "Don't talk first, I'll bandage your wound." As he spoke, he tore off his shirt into strips, then carefully unbuttoned Qinglan's clothes, revealing the wound on her chest.

The wound was still bleeding, but fortunately, the bullet hadn't hit a vital part. "It's okay, it's just a superficial wound." Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, then he bandaged Qinglan's wound with a piece of cloth. "Okay, how do you feel now?"

"Well... much better..." Qinglan said, "Thank you... Lu Yang..."

"What are you thanking me for? We are friends." Lu Yang said, "You take a rest first, I'll go get some water." As he said that, he stood up and walked out of the room.

After a while, Lu Yang came back with a kettle. "Come, have some water." He handed the kettle to Qinglan.

Qinglan took the kettle, drank a few sips of water, and felt a little better. "Lu Yang, what are you going to do next?"

"Me?" Lu Yang smiled. "What else can I do? Of course I'll just keep doing my job as a police officer."

"But...but you killed someone..." Qinglan said, "They...they won't let you go..."

"Don't worry, they won't find any evidence." Lu Yang said, "Besides, even if they did find evidence, what can they do to me? I'm a police officer, how can they arrest me?"

"But..." Qinglan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Yang. "Don't say buts," Lu Yang said, "The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries. Leave everything else to me."

"Hmm..." Qinglan nodded. She knew that it was useless for her to say anything now and she could only trust Lu Yang.

"Oh right," Lu Yang suddenly remembered something, "you just said you were 'Fire Seed', what's going on?"

Qinglan was silent for a moment, then said, "'Spark' is a code name, and also a plan."

"What plan?" Lu Yang asked.

"A... a very dangerous plan." Qinglan said, "I can't tell you."

"Why?" Lu Yang was confused.

"Because... because this plan involves many people's lives," Qinglan said, "I can't let you get involved."

"But you've already dragged me into this." Lu Yang said, "From the moment you saved me, I've been involved."

"I..." Qinglan was speechless for a moment.

"Qinglan," Lu Yang looked into Qinglan's eyes and said seriously, "I know you have many secrets and you have many difficulties. But please believe me, I will do my best to help you and protect you."

"Lu Yang..." Tears welled up in Qinglan's eyes, "Thank you..."

"What are you thanking me for?" Lu Yang smiled. "We are friends."

"Yes, friend." Qinglan nodded with a smile on his face.

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go take a look outside." Lu Yang said, stood up and walked out of the room.

He came to the yard and looked up. He saw a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, casting a cool light.

"May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart." Lu Yang murmured to himself, his heart full of emotion.

He didn't know how far he and Qinglan could go, but he knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would keep going without hesitation.

Because he is a warrior, a warrior who fights for faith, for freedom, and for justice.

And his battlefield is not only here, but also farther away, in a wider world.

His journey is to the sea of ​​stars and the infinite future.

When Lu Yang returned to the room, Qinglan had already fallen asleep. There was a faint smile on her face, as if she had had a sweet dream.

Lu Yang walked gently to the bedside and tucked the corner of the quilt for her. Then he sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked at her quietly.

The moonlight shone through the window onto Qinglan's face, making her look even more beautiful and charming. A wave of tenderness surged in Lu Yang's heart, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Qinglan's cheek.

"Qinglan," Lu Yang said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you, no matter what the cost."

His voice was very light and soft, like a breeze, gently brushing past Qinglan's ears.

Her blue eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not wake up. She was still immersed in her dream.

Lu Yang smiled and withdrew his hand. He knew that Qinglan needed to rest and he couldn't disturb her.

So he got up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and fell into deep thought.

He had to find a way to send Qinglan away as soon as possible, to a safe place. Then, he would start his own plan, a bolder and crazier one.

He wants to make those enemies, those traitors, and those Japanese pay the price!

He wants to let them know that the Chinese are not easy to bully!

He wants to let them know what it means to pay blood debt with blood!

He wants to let them know what the power of "spark" is!

As the night deepened, the city gradually quieted down, with only the occasional barking of dogs breaking the tranquility of the night sky.

Lu Yang was still standing in front of the window. His figure, illuminated by the moonlight, looked exceptionally tall and resolute.

He was like a statue, standing in the darkness, guarding this room, guarding the Qinglan in the room, and guarding the flame in his heart.

A flame of hope that never goes out.

The next morning, Lu Yang took Xiao He and Xiao Jiang and left Qing Lan's safe house. He and Qing Lan agreed to meet here in three days, and then he would send Qing Lan away from Jiangcheng.

"Uncle Lu, where are we going now?" Xiaohe asked.

"Let's find a place to live first, and then I want you to help me do something." Lu Yang said.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Jiang asked.

"I want you to help me find the 'mole'." Lu Yang said.

"'Mole'?" Xiao He and Xiao Jiang looked at each other, both a little confused. "What is that?"

"'Mole' is a code name," Lu Yang explained, "and it's also our biggest enemy right now."

"Is he very powerful?" Xiao Jiang asked.

"Very powerful," Lu Yang said. "He's like a mole, lurking underground. We can't see him, but he can see us. He's manipulating everything in secret, causing trouble for us and ruining our plans."

"Then...how do we find him?" Xiaohe asked.

"That depends on your observation skills," Lu Yang said. "Although the 'Mole' is hiding very deeply, he will always reveal some clues. What you need to do is to find these clues and follow them to find him."
