Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

"Damn it, he really thinks I'm a vegetarian!" Lu Yang cursed angrily, then he suddenly leaned forward, and the gun in his hand spewed out flames, shooting towards the patrol boat.

"Bang, bang, bang!" After a few gunshots, several people on the patrol boat immediately fell to the ground.

"Fight back! Fight back!" A man who looked like an officer on the patrol boat shouted at the top of his lungs.

The machine gun on the patrol boat began to fire at Lu Yang, and the dense bullets riddled the small steamer with holes.

Relying on his agility, Lu Yang dodged back and forth on the boat, looking for an opportunity to fight back.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, Lu Yang was shot in the shoulder, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

"Lu Yang!" Qinglan's voice came from the cabin, with a hint of fear and worry.

"I'm fine!" Lu Yang gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to fight back.

He knew that now was not the time to fall, he had to hold on, he had to protect Qinglan, protect Xiaohe and Xiaojiang, protect the boat, and protect the hope in his heart.

"Go to hell!" Lu Yang roared, and the gun in his hand spewed out flames again. A bullet accurately hit the fuel tank on the patrol boat.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the patrol boat exploded, and a huge fireball shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding river surface.

The Japanese soldiers on the patrol boat were blown to pieces, and their screams were endless.

Lu Yang looked at the blazing flames with no expression on his face. His heart was as cold as the icy river water.

He knew that the battle had just begun.

And he must keep fighting until the final victory!

……

After dealing with the patrol boat, Lu Yang simply treated his wound and immediately ordered the boatman to turn the boat around and sail away from the waters at full speed.

"Lu Yang, you are injured!" Qing Lan said with heartache when she saw the wound on Lu Yang's shoulder.

"It's okay, just a little scrape." Lu Yang endured the pain and pretended nothing happened.

"No, I have to bandage you." Qinglan said, and found gauze and medicine from the cabin and began to bandage Lu Yang's wound.

Lu Yang looked at Qinglan's serious expression, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. "Thank you, Qinglan."

"What are you thanking me for?" Qing Lan said as she bandaged Lu Yang's wound. "We are friends, aren't we?"

"Yes, friend." Lu Yang nodded, then he looked at Qinglan and suddenly said, "Qinglan, when all this is over, we..."

"Let's talk about it after this is all over." Qinglan interrupted Lu Yang, a shy smile appearing on her face.

Lu Yang looked at Qing Lan and smiled. He knew that Qing Lan understood what he meant, and he also understood Qing Lan's feelings.

There is no need for too many words between them. Just a look and a smile are enough to understand each other's intentions.

"Uncle Lu, where are we going now?" Xiao Jiang suddenly asked.

Lu Yang came back to his senses, looked into Xiao Jiang's clear eyes, and said, "Let's go... to a new world."

"New world?" Xiao Jiang tilted his head, looking confused.

"Yes, the new world." Lu Yang nodded, his eyes full of hope and longing.

"A new world without war, oppression, or exploitation, where everyone is equal, free, and happy."

"Really?" Xiao Jiang asked excitedly, "Then the new world must be very interesting, right?"

"Of course," Lu Yang smiled, "that place will be your paradise."

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

Lu Yang looked at Xiao Jiang, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that everything he did was for these children, for their future.

He wanted them to live in a peaceful world, a world without smoke, flames of war, or bloodshed.

He wanted them to always maintain this innocence, this purity, and this beautiful vision of the future.

And he will keep fighting for this goal until the last moment of his life!

……

The steamer sailed on the river for a long time, and finally, they came to a hidden river branch.

"Mr. Lu, we're here." The boatman said to Lu Yang.

"Yeah." Lu Yang nodded, then he took Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang off the boat.

The four of them walked forward along the river bank.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to a dense reed marsh.

"Is this our destination?" Qinglan asked.

"That's right," Lu Yang nodded, "Across this reed marsh is our new home."

"New home?" Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang were all a little surprised.

"Yes, the new home." Lu Yang smiled, then he took the lead and walked into the reed marsh.

The four of them pushed aside the dense reeds and walked forward with difficulty.

After walking for about an hour, they finally walked out of the reed marsh and the view before them suddenly opened up.

They saw a vast plain in front of them. On the plain stood a small village. In the village, smoke rose from cooking fires and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard. It was a peaceful scene.

"Where is this..." Qinglan asked in surprise as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"This is... Taohua Village." Lu Yang said, his voice was soft, but full of strength and hope.

"Peach Blossom Village?" Qinglan murmured to herself, "What a beautiful name."

"Let's go," Lu Yang said, "let's go home."

……

The setting sun dyed the sky a rosy red, as if someone had accidentally knocked over a rouge box and spilled it all over the canvas of heaven and earth. Walking in the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Yang and his companions entered Taohua Village.

At the entrance of the village, several children were playing and fighting. When they saw the unfamiliar faces of Lu Yang and the others, they stopped playing curiously, opened their eyes wide, and looked at them curiously.

Lu Yang walked over, took out some candies from his pocket, and handed them to the children. "Kids, I want to ask you something."

The children took the candies with innocent smiles on their faces. "Big brother, what do you want to ask?" asked one of the older children.

"Is there a family named Aunt Li in your village?" Lu Yang asked in a gentle tone, trying his best to look amiable.

"Aunt Li?" The children looked at each other, and then the older one pointed to a thatched cottage at the east end of the village and said, "You mean the Widow Li's house at the east end?"

"Yes, yes, it's her house." Lu Yang said hurriedly, secretly happy in his heart. It seems that he has not found the wrong place.

"Thank you." Lu Yang said with a smile, then he took Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang and walked towards the east end of the village.

……

"Is Aunt Li at home?" Lu Yang stood in front of a dilapidated hut and knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from the room.

"It's me, Lu Yang." Lu Yang said.

"Lu Yang?" The voice in the room paused, and then the door creaked open.

An old woman with white hair and wrinkles appeared in front of Lu Yang. She looked at Lu Yang with eyes full of doubt and vigilance.

"Are you... Lu Yang?" the old woman asked with a trembling voice.

"Aunt Li, it's me, Lu Yang." Lu Yang said quickly, "Don't you remember me? I am..."

"You are... Xiaoyang?" The old woman interrupted Lu Yang, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes. "Are you really Xiaoyang? Are you...are you still alive?"

"Aunt Li, I'm back." Lu Yang's eyes were moist. He took a step forward and held the old woman's hand tightly.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." the old woman said excitedly, her hands shaking constantly.

"Aunt Li, you have suffered a lot over the years." Lu Yang said, his voice choked.

"No, no," the old woman shook her head. "As long as you are alive, I will not suffer."

"Aunt Li..." Lu Yang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old woman.

"Xiaoyang, come in quickly, come in quickly." The old woman took Lu Yang's hand and led him into the house.

Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang also followed him in.

The room was simply furnished with only a worn wooden bed, a table with a missing leg, and a few crooked stools.

"Aunt Li, have you been living alone all these years?" Lu Yang asked, looking at the furnishings in the house.

"Yes," the old woman sighed, "since your parents left, I'm all alone."

"Aunt Li, I'm sorry I'm back late." Lu Yang said, his voice full of guilt.

"It's not too late, it's not too late," the old woman shook her head. "As long as you come back, it's all right."

"Aunt Li, don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future." Lu Yang said.

"Good, good, good." The old woman said "good" three times in a row, her eyes full of relief and hope.

"Aunt Li, these are..." Lu Yang pointed at Qinglan, Xiaohe and Xiaojiang and said to the old woman.

"This is my friend, Qinglan," Lu Yang introduced. "This is Xiaohe, and this is Xiaojiang. They are all my family."

"Good, good, good." The old woman looked at Qinglan and the others and said with a smile, "They are all good children, all good children."

"Aunt Li, can we stay here for a few days?" Lu Yang asked.

"Of course," the old woman said, "this is your home. You can stay here as long as you want."

"Thank you, Aunt Li." Lu Yang said.

"Silly child, what are you thanking me for?" the old woman said. "We are family, aren't we?"

"Yes, a family." Lu Yang nodded, his eyes full of warmth and strength.

……

In the next few days, Lu Yang and his friends lived in Aunt Li's house. They helped Aunt Li with work and chatted with her. Their days were peaceful and warm.

Lu Yang also used this time to have a good rest, restore his physical strength, and sort out his thoughts.

He knew that he couldn't stay here for too long as he had more important things to do.

He must act quickly to stop Zero's plan and protect this country and this nation.

That day, Lu Yang was chopping firewood in the yard when suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

"Mr. Zhang?" Lu Yang was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Hannian would come here.

"Lu Yang, I finally found you." Zhang Hannian walked up to Lu Yang and said breathlessly.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you here?" Lu Yang asked.

"Of course I came to see you for something important." Zhang Hannian said.

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

"The 'Zero' plan has already begun," said Zhang Hannian.

"What?!" Lu Yang's face changed. "He...what did he do?"

"He..." Zhang Hannian took a deep breath and said slowly, "He wants to... assassinate the president!"

"Assassinating the president?!" Lu Yang exclaimed. He could never have imagined that "Zero" would be so crazy and so bold.

"That's right," Zhang Hannian nodded. "'Zero' has already sent his most elite assassins to infiltrate Nanjing to assassinate the president."

"This... How is this possible?" Lu Yang still couldn't believe it. "The Presidential Palace is heavily guarded. How could they possibly succeed?"

"Nothing is impossible," Zhang Hannian said. "Zero's plan is very thorough and covert. He has bribed the people around the president. He can attack the president at any time and anywhere."

"..." Lu Yang was silent. He knew that Zhang Hannian was right. Since "Zero" dared to do this, he must be sure of it.

"Lu Yang, we must stop him!" Zhang Hannian said, "We must stop Zero's conspiracy!"

"I know." Lu Yang nodded, "But how can we stop him?"

"We must find 'Zero' and then hand him over to the president," said Zhang Hannian.

"But 'Zero''s whereabouts are very secretive, and we can't find him at all." Lu Yang said.

"I know," Zhang Hannian said, "but we have a chance."

"What opportunity?" Lu Yang asked.

"In three days, the president will attend a public event," Zhang Hannian said. "'Zero' will definitely seize this opportunity to attack the president."

"What you mean is..." Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he understood what Zhang Hannian meant.

"That's right," Zhang Hannian nodded, "We should use this opportunity to lure Zero out, and then capture him in one fell swoop!"

"Okay!" Lu Yang said, "Let's do it!"

"Lu Yang, you must be careful," Zhang Hannian said, "'Zero' is a very dangerous person, you must not be careless."

"Don't worry," Lu Yang smiled, "I'll be careful."

"Also," Zhang Hannian said, "Zero has a group of very powerful assassins around him. They are all elite members of the Black Crow organization. You must pay attention to their movements."

"I understand." Lu Yang nodded, "I will."

"Okay, Lu Yang," Zhang Hannian said, "That's all I can tell you. From now on, it's up to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Lu Yang said.

"Don't thank me," Zhang Hannian said, "I just did what I should do."

"Lu Yang, take care." Zhang Hannian said finally, then he turned around and left the yard.
