Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

Qinglan sighed helplessly. She knew that Lu Yang didn't want to tell her his plan because he didn't want to make her worry.

But she also understood that Lu Yang must have his reasons for doing this.

All she could do now was to trust and support him unconditionally.

"Okay, I believe you." Qinglan said, then she walked to Lu Yang and held his hand tightly.

Lu Yang felt the warmth from Qinglan's hand, and his heart was filled with strength. He knew that he was not fighting alone. Beside him were Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang, and the millions of Chinese people who yearned for light and freedom.

For them, he must fight until the final victory!

……

After several days of sailing, the boat finally arrived in Shanghai.

Lu Yang did not choose to dock at the crowded pier, but chose a remote river branch and quietly went ashore.

He took Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang, and under the cover of night, quickly passed through several alleys and came to a hidden courtyard.

This is Lu Yang's other secret base in Shanghai, and it is also the base he prepared for this operation.

"Uncle Lu, where is this place?" Xiao Jiang asked curiously.

"This is our new home." Lu Yang said with a smile, "We will live here from now on."

"New home?" Xiaohe and Xiaojiang's eyes lit up and they looked around excitedly.

"Okay, go and rest first," Lu Yang said, "You must be exhausted after such a long journey."

"Yeah." Xiaohe and Xiaojiang nodded, then walked into the room hand in hand.

Lu Yang watched the two children leave, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile. He knew that these two children were his greatest concern and the driving force behind his continued struggle.

"Lu Yang, are you really planning to have a decisive battle with 'Zero' in Shanghai?" Qing Lan walked up to Lu Yang and asked softly.

"That's right," Lu Yang nodded. "Shanghai is Zero's base and his most vulnerable spot. Only in Shanghai can we defeat him completely."

"But this is too risky," Qing Lan said. "Shanghai is Zero's territory. We could be exposed here at any time."

"I know," Lu Yang said, "but we have no way out. 'Zero' has already known of our existence, and he won't let us go. If we don't take the initiative to attack, we can only sit and wait for death."

“…” Qinglan was silent. She knew that Lu Yang was right. They had no way out.

"Don't worry," Lu Yang held Qinglan's hand and said gently, "I will protect you. I won't let anything happen to you."

"Yeah." Qinglan nodded. She believed in Lu Yang and she believed that he could do it.

"Okay," Lu Yang said, "You should go and rest too. We have a tough battle tomorrow."

"Yeah." Qinglan nodded, then turned and walked into the room.

Lu Yang watched Qing Lan's departing figure with a deep look in his eyes. He knew that tomorrow would be the day that would determine their fate, and also the fate of this country.

He must be fully prepared to face this final battle.

He walked to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote a word on a piece of white paper - "zero".

Then he drew a heavy cross on this word.

"'Zero'," Lu Yang muttered to himself, "This time, I will make you disappear from this world completely!"

……

The next morning, Lu Yang left the safe house and came to the streets of Shanghai alone.

He changed into ordinary clothes, put on a hat, and hid his face in the shadow of the brim.

He strolled along the streets of Shanghai like an ordinary tourist, observing everything around him.

He noticed that the atmosphere in Shanghai was noticeably more tense than before. The number of police and soldiers patrolling the streets had increased significantly, and their faces showed a hint of vigilance and uneasiness.

Lu Yang knew that this was because "Zero" had already started to act. He was using the power in his hands to hunt down Lu Yang and "Fire".

However, Lu Yang was not afraid. He knew that the more nervous Zero was, the more it showed that he was afraid and that he was about to lose.

Lu Yang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile. "'Zero', struggle as hard as you can. Your end will soon be here."

He continued to wander the streets, seemingly aimlessly, but in fact, he was looking for a goal, a goal that could help him complete his final plan.

Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a familiar figure.

The man was standing at the door of a cafe, talking to a man in a suit.

Lu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he recognized that the man was...Cao Tiande!

"Cao Tiande..." Lu Yang muttered to himself, with a hint of surprise and excitement flashing in his eyes.

He didn't expect to meet Cao Tiande here.

This is really true, after searching high and low for something, it finally comes to you without any effort!

Lu Yang knew that Cao Tiande was an important chess piece of "Zero" in Shanghai, and it was he who leaked the "Spark" plan to the Japanese.

If he could catch Cao Tiande, he could get more information about "Zero" from Cao Tiande, and even directly find "Zero's" hiding place!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang's heart was filled with excitement. He knew that his chance had come!

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. Then he took a step forward and walked towards Cao Tiande.

His steps were steady and powerful, his eyes were firm and sharp, and he exuded a dangerous aura, like a tiger about to pounce on its prey.

……

Cao Tiande was talking about something with the man in a suit.

Suddenly, he felt someone patting his shoulder.

He turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure.

"Lu... Lu Yang?!" Cao Tiande exclaimed, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He could never have imagined that Lu Yang would appear here, and even dare to appear in front of him!

"Director Cao, long time no see." Lu Yang said with a smile. His voice was very soft, but it carried a hint of cold murderous intent.

"You... why are you here?" Cao Tiande asked, his voice already beginning to tremble.

"Of course I came here to find you." Lu Yang said, then he suddenly made a move, grabbed Cao Tiande's collar and dragged him aside.

"You...what do you want to do?!" Cao Tiande shouted in horror. He wanted to struggle, but found that Lu Yang was incredibly strong and he couldn't break free at all.

"Stop making noise!" Lu Yang shouted in a low voice, "Otherwise, I will kill you right here!"

Cao Tiande immediately shut his mouth. He knew that Lu Yang was not joking and he would really kill him.

"Lu Yang, what...what do you want?" Cao Tiande asked, his voice full of fear.

"It's very simple," Lu Yang said, "I want you to do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Cao Tiande asked.

"I want you to take me to see 'Zero'." Lu Yang said.

"What?!" Cao Tiande exclaimed, "How...how do you know 'Zero'?"

"You don't need to know how I know this," Lu Yang said. "You just need to know that you must listen to me now, otherwise, you and your family's lives will be in danger!"

"You..." Cao Tiande wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu Yang.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," Lu Yang said, "Take me to see Zero, otherwise, I will kill you now!"

As he spoke, Lu Yang took out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at Cao Tiande's head.

Cao Tiande looked at Lu Yang's cold eyes, felt the chill from the muzzle of the gun, and completely gave up resistance. He knew that he had no choice now.

"Okay... I'll take you there..." Cao Tiande said, his voice full of despair and helplessness.

"Very good," Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction, "This is your wisest choice."

Then he took Cao Tiande out of the cafe and got into a car that had been prepared long ago.

"Drive!" Lu Yang said to the driver.

"Yes!" the driver responded, then started the car and drove away.

……

The car sped along the streets of Shanghai and soon arrived at a remote courtyard.

This is where Cao Tiande and "Zero" secretly meet.

Lu Yang escorted Cao Tiande into the courtyard.

The yard was empty, with only a few dilapidated houses swaying in the night wind, making creaking sounds.

"Where is 'Zero'?" Lu Yang asked.

"He...he is inside..." Cao Tiande said, pointing to one of the houses.

Lu Yang nodded, then he took Cao Tiande and walked towards the house.

Arriving at the door of the house, Lu Yang took a deep breath, then kicked the door open.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open and Lu Yang and Cao Tiande rushed in.

The room was empty, with only a table, a chair, and some simple daily necessities.

"Where are the people?!" Lu Yang roared. He didn't expect that he would come up empty-handed.

"I... I don't know..." Cao Tiande said, "He... he should be here..."

"You dare to lie to me?!" Lu Yang grabbed Cao Tiande's collar and said harshly.

"I...I didn't lie to you..." Cao Tiande said, "I really don't know where 'Zero' is..."

"Bang!" Lu Yang punched Cao Tiande in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Tell me! Where is 'Zero'?!" Lu Yang roared, his voice echoing in the empty room, deafening.

"I... I really don't know..." Cao Tiande lay on the ground, covering his face and said in pain.

Lu Yang looked at Cao Tiande with cold eyes. He knew that Cao Tiande was not lying and he really didn't know where "Zero" was.

"It seems that 'Zero' has noticed something and left early." Lu Yang murmured to himself. His voice was very soft, but it carried a hint of deep disappointment.

He didn't expect that his carefully planned plan would fail.

He didn't expect that "Zero" would be so cunning and cautious that he would escape early.

He never expected that he would be so careless and let the traitor Cao Tiande ruin his plans!

"Lu Yang, what should we do now?" Qinglan's voice suddenly sounded behind Lu Yang.

Lu Yang turned around and looked at Qinglan, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"I don't know either." Lu Yang said.

"You don't know?" Qinglan's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that Lu Yang would say such a thing.

"Yes, I don't know." Lu Yang nodded. "I originally thought that I had everything under control, but now it seems that I was wrong. I was very wrong."

"Lu Yang..." Qinglan looked at Lu Yang, her eyes full of worry. She knew that Lu Yang must be very lost and depressed right now.

"I'm fine," Lu Yang smiled and said with all his strength, "We still have a chance. We can start over."

"Start over?" Qinglan asked, "How do I start over?"

"We..." Lu Yang was about to say something, but suddenly, his face changed. He felt his body begin to stiffen, and his consciousness began to become blurred.

"Lu Yang, what's wrong with you?" Qing Lan noticed that Lu Yang was acting strangely and asked hurriedly.

"I...I..." Lu Yang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Then he fell straight to the ground.

"Lu Yang!" Qing Lan exclaimed and hurried forward to support Lu Yang.

She found that Lu Yang's body was cold and stiff, and he had lost his breath.

"Lu Yang... Lu Yang..." Qing Lan hugged Lu Yang, tears streaming down her face. Her voice was filled with grief and despair.

She could never have imagined that Lu Yang would die suddenly, and right in front of her.

"Uncle Lu! Uncle Lu!" Xiao He and Xiao Jiang also ran over. They looked at Lu Yang lying on the ground with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Uncle Lu... Uncle Lu..." They cried, their voices shrill and full of sadness.

"Lu Yang..." Qinglan hugged Lu Yang, tears streaming down her face. Her heart seemed to be torn apart, and she was in excruciating pain.

She knew that she had lost the most important person, the one she loved the most, the one who would give everything for her.

But she would never be able to see him again, hear his voice again, or feel his warmth again.

She hugged Lu Yang, crying heart-wrenchingly, crying with her liver and liver broken, crying... the whole world lost its color.

……

"A new world?" Qinglan repeated doubtfully, trying to grasp the deeper meaning behind Lu Yang's words. The word, tinged with idealism and a sense of unknown mystery, left her feeling both excited and bewildered.

Lu Yang did not explain directly, but just looked into the distance. The river was surging and flowing endlessly, as if it was going to take them to a whole new world.

"Uncle Lu, where are we going?" Xiao Jiang pulled the corner of Lu Yang's clothes and asked curiously.

Lu Yang lowered his head, looked into Xiao Jiang's clear eyes, and smiled gently. "We are going to a place far, far away, a place without war, oppression, or exploitation."

"Really?" Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up. "Then can we reunite with Mom and Dad?"

Lu Yang's heart ached. He knew that Xiao Jiang's parents had died in the war long ago, and he and Xiao He had become orphans with no one to rely on.
