"Yes," Lu Yang said with a smile, suppressing the sadness in his heart, "When we get there, we can reunite with Mom and Dad."

"That's great!" Xiao Jiang cheered with an innocent smile on his face.

Xiao He stood aside, silently watching Lu Yang and Xiao Jiang, her eyes filled with gratitude and hope. She knew that Lu Yang was their only support and their only hope.

Lu Yang looked at the two children, his heart filled with a sense of responsibility. He knew that he had to protect them and take them to a safe place, a place full of hope.

He took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a determined look. "Qinglan, do you believe me?"

"I believe you." Qinglan answered without hesitation. Her voice was soft but full of power.

"That's good." Lu Yang nodded, "Let's create a new world together, a new world that belongs to us!"

……

The steamer sailed on the river for several days and nights, and finally, they arrived at an unfamiliar port.

This is the place where Lu Yang and Zhang Hannian agreed to meet, and it is also the starting point of their new journey.

After getting off the boat, Lu Yang brought Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang to a secluded courtyard.

"Mr. Lu, you are finally here." A familiar voice sounded in the yard.

Lu Yang raised his head and saw Zhang Hannian standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang." Lu Yang nodded and walked into the yard.

"Lu Yang, are you okay?" Zhang Hannian asked with concern. "I heard that 'Zero' has already started to move."

"I'm fine." Lu Yang shook his head. "He should be in danger now."

"Oh?" Zhang Hannian was a little surprised. "What did you do?"

"I gave him a big gift." Lu Yang smiled mysteriously.

"What gift?" Zhang Hannian asked curiously.

"Well, you don't need to know that," Lu Yang said. "Anyway, Zero no longer has the energy to deal with us."

"That's good." Zhang Hannian breathed a sigh of relief. "Lu Yang, you really helped me a lot this time."

"You're welcome," Lu Yang said, "We are friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

"By the way," Zhang Hannian said, "Let me introduce you. This is..."

He pointed to a young man beside him and said, "This is Li Yunfei, my assistant and also my student."

Lu Yang looked at Li Yunfei and saw that he was tall and straight, with sharp eyes and an air of competence.

"Hello, Mr. Li." Lu Yang took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Li Yunfei.

"Hello, Mr. Lu." Li Yunfei also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lu Yang.

"Lu Yang," Zhang Hannian said, "Yun Fei is an expert in this area. He can help us complete our plan better."

"Oh?" Lu Yang was a little surprised. "An expert in this field? What field?"

"Intelligence." Zhang Hannian said, "Yun Fei is an expert in intelligence. He can help us collect intelligence, analyze intelligence, and formulate plans."

"Great!" Lu Yang said happily, "With Mr. Li's help, our plan will definitely go more smoothly!"

"Mr. Lu, you're too kind," Li Yunfei said modestly. "I will do my best to help you."

"Okay," Lu Yang nodded, "Then let's get started now."

"Wait," Zhang Hannian said, "Lu Yang, I have another question for you."

"What's the problem?" Lu Yang asked.

"What exactly is the 'Spark' plan?" Zhang Hannian asked, his eyes full of confusion and anticipation.

"The Spark Project..." Lu Yang pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The Spark Project is... a very large project, a project... enough to change the entire world."

"Change the world pattern?" Zhang Hannian and Li Yunfei were both stunned. They didn't expect that the "Spark" plan would be so important.

"That's right," Lu Yang nodded. "The 'Spark' project exists for this purpose."

"Then...what should we do now?" Zhang Hannian asked.

"What we have to do is..." Lu Yang paused and said firmly, "Let the 'spark' burn!"

"Burning?" Zhang Hannian and Li Yunfei looked at each other and saw shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

"That's right," Lu Yang said, "We want to let the 'spark' burn all over China and the world!"

"We want everyone to know about the existence of our 'Spark'!"

"We want everyone to know the power of our 'Spark'!"

"We want everyone to know that we, the 'Spark', are invincible!"

Lu Yang's voice became louder and louder, more and more passionate, and there was a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

"Alright!" Zhang Hannian and Li Yunfei also became excited. They shouted in unison, "Let the 'fire' burn!"

"Let the 'spark' light up the world!"

"Let the 'spark' change your destiny!"

The voices of the three people echoed in the yard for a long time.

And their hearts are full of hope and confidence.

They believe that as long as they have the "spark", they will be able to defeat all enemies and ultimately achieve victory!

……

Lu Yang, Zhang Hannian, Li Yunfei, Qinglan, Xiaohe, and Xiaojiang, six people, sat around the table and began to discuss the next action plan.

"Now that 'Zero' knows of our existence, he will definitely find ways to get rid of us." Zhang Hannian said, his tone full of worry.

"So, we must strike first," Lu Yang said, "We must take the initiative and catch him off guard."

"But 'Zero' is very powerful, and we are not his match yet," said Li Yunfei.

"I know," Lu Yang nodded, "but we are not without a chance."

"What opportunity?" Zhang Hannian asked.

"Zero's biggest weakness is his overconfidence," Lu Yang said. "He thinks he can control everything, but in reality, he can't."

"So, we have to take advantage of his confidence, create trouble for him, and make him exhausted. Then, we will seize the opportunity to give him a fatal blow!"

"What a great plan!" Zhang Hannian exclaimed, "Lu Yang, you're amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment," Lu Yang smiled. "This is just a preliminary plan. The details still require the joint efforts of all of us."

"Yes." Zhang Hannian nodded, "We will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

"Thank you," Lu Yang said. Then, he looked at Qing Lan, "Qing Lan, you are responsible for intelligence gathering. I want to know everything Zero does. I want to know all his plans."

"Don't worry," Qinglan said, "I will."

"Xiao He, Xiao Jiang," Lu Yang looked at Xiao He and Xiao Jiang, "You two will be in charge of communication. I want you to pass our news to everyone I can trust."

"Yes!" Xiaohe and Xiaojiang answered in unison.

"Mr. Li," Lu Yang looked at Li Yunfei, "you will be responsible for logistics. I need you to provide us with all the necessary support."

"No problem." Li Yunfei said.

"Mr. Zhang," Lu Yang looked at Zhang Hannian, "You are responsible..."

"What am I responsible for?" Zhang Hannian asked.

"You are responsible..." Lu Yang paused and said in a serious tone, "Stay in the rear and stabilize the situation!"

“…” Zhang Hannian was silent. He knew that Lu Yang was protecting him and giving him a chance.

"Okay," Zhang Hannian nodded, "I understand."

"Very good," Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's get started now!"

……

Qinglan faced the mirror, meticulously painting the tips of her eyebrows, lightly applying rouge to conceal her pale undertones. Each stroke seemed to carve a mask, a mask of "submission" and "sorrow."

With a light touch of her fingertips, she evenly spread the lipstick. The mirror reflected a delicate yet sorrowful face, flawless and flawless. Only the suppressed fire deep in her eyes betrayed her true emotions.

She wants to deceive everyone, including the conceited "Zero".

She stood up, her plain black cheongsam trailing silently on the ground, like the color of the night. Qinglan pushed open the bedroom door and silently merged into the brightly lit mansion.

The servants bowed in silence, as if the mansion also sensed the mistress's sadness and was silent.

Qinglan walked through the corridor and headed straight for the study. Pushing open the door, Zero was sitting behind the desk. The light cast a cacophony of light and dark shadows on his face, his expression gloomy and unclear.

"You're here." Zero didn't look up, his voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible temptation.

"The information you requested." Qinglan walked to the table and placed a brown paper bag on the table. His movements were calm and his tone was respectful, as if he was just a subordinate following orders.

Zero raised his head, his eyes piercing Qinglan's features, as if to see through her disguised true emotions. Qinglan didn't flinch, but met her gaze with a frank look, the sadness in her eyes so real it was heart-wrenching.

He nodded with satisfaction, picked up the paper bag, pulled out the information inside, and began to read it carefully. Under the dim light, the sound of the pages turning was clearly audible.

Qinglan stood quietly by, head bowed, eyes lowered, like a delicate porcelain doll, silent and submissive. Only her tightly clenched fists betrayed the turbulent waves in her heart.

"Well done." After a long moment, Zero put down the information, a satisfied smile on his face. His gaze fell on Qinglan again, a hint of inquiry and amusement in his eyes. "You seem... calmer?"

Qinglan raised her head, her eyes slightly red, her tone mournful, yet with a hint of blank resignation. "The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living must continue to live."

Zero's eyes flashed with satisfaction when he heard this, as if he admired her "knowing the current situation". He stood up, walked to Qinglan, and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her cheek.

Qinglan turned slightly to avoid his touch, her face still etched with sadness, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant. "If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."

Zero's hand froze in mid-air, and his eyes instantly became sinister, but soon, he smiled again, as if his previous displeasure was just an illusion.

"Go ahead, you're tired too, have a good rest." Zero withdrew his hand and spoke gently, as if he was a loving elder caring for his junior.

Qinglan nodded slightly, turned and left the study.

Walking out of the study, Qinglan walked quickly towards his room. He didn't let out a long sigh until he closed the door. His tense nerves finally relaxed.

She leaned against the door, her body trembling slightly, her clothes already soaked with cold sweat. Just now, she had almost exhausted all her strength to restrain the anger in her heart and not explode on the spot.

Zero's temptation frightened her and made her realize more clearly how dangerous the situation she was in was.

But she couldn't back down, she would never give up.

She wants to avenge Lu Yang, and she wants to send Zero to hell with her own hands!

Qinglan walked to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write a letter. Under the light, her figure was slender and thin, but she exuded an awe-inspiring aura of determination.

She wanted to contact someone, someone who could help her get revenge and fulfill Lu Yang's last wish.

A mysterious figure hiding in the darkness, possessing great power.

One that even Zero is afraid of—"Old Six"!

"A new world?" Qing Lan was stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Yang to give such an answer. Her brows furrowed slightly, trying to read something from Lu Yang's calm face, but all she saw was a depth, as unfathomable as the night sky.

"Uncle Lu, what is the 'New World'? Is it fun?" Xiao Jiang looked up, his young face full of curiosity.

Lu Yang smiled and rubbed Xiao Jiang's head, but did not answer directly. He just said, "You will know when you go there."

The small steamer cut through the waves, leaving a long white trail on the river. The river breeze, swirling with moisture, blew away everyone's annoyance, including Qinglan's doubts. She knew that Lu Yang had a reason for saying so.

"Lu Yang," Qing Lan walked up to Lu Yang and asked softly, "Do you really believe in Zhang Hannian?"

Lu Yang turned his head and looked at Qing Lan with deep eyes. "What do you think?"

Qinglan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't know. But I don't think he... is lying."

"Yeah," Lu Yang sighed, "He certainly doesn't seem to be lying. But, people's hearts are hidden, so who can truly see through a person?"

"Then why do you still want to..." Qinglan hesitated to speak.

"Because I need his help." Lu Yang interrupted Qing Lan, his tone firm, "In this chaotic world, it's hard to accomplish anything alone. I need an ally, even if this ally was once my enemy."

"But..." Qinglan was still a little worried.

"Don't worry," Lu Yang smiled and comforted him, "I'll be careful. Besides, I believe that Zhang Hannian... won't let me down."

After saying this, Lu Yang's gaze once again turned to the distance. His eyes became deep and distant, as if he had penetrated through layers of fog and seen the future.
