Chapter 728 "Pangu Plan" and "Bashu Order"

Lu Yang walked to the map and observed it carefully. He now had two important clues: the "Pangu Plan" and the "Bashu Order."

What exactly is Zero's goal? Is he to first obtain the "Pangu Plan" to strengthen his own power, and then seize the "Bashu Order" to control the Sichuan Army?

Or should we control the Sichuan Army first, and then use its power to seize the "Pangu Project"?

Lu Yang couldn't determine the true intentions of "Zero", but he knew that he had to find the "Pangu Plan" and the "Bashu Order" as soon as possible to stop "Zero's" conspiracy.

"Old Wei, continue investigating the clues of the 'Pangu Project', focusing on the experts from the United States and those who have contact with them." Lu Yang ordered.

"Yes, boss." Lao Wei replied.

Lu Yang took out another piece of paper with the names and positions of the Sichuan Army generals written on it. He looked at the names carefully, trying to find some clues.

"The 'Bashu Order' is the token of the Sichuan Army. So, the person who is most likely to possess the 'Bashu Order' must be a senior general of the Sichuan Army." Lu Yang muttered to himself.

He suddenly thought of a person, Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army.

Liu Xiang was a representative figure of the Sichuan Army and a powerful figure in the southwest region. If there was someone in the Sichuan Army who held the "Bashu Order", the most likely person would be Liu Xiang.

However, Liu Xiang has passed away. Did he hand over the "Bashu Order" to others before his death?

Lu Yang decided to start with Liu Xiang's old subordinates and investigate the whereabouts of the "Bashu Order".

"Old Wei, check Liu Xiang's old subordinates to see if they have any unusual behavior recently." Lu Yang ordered.

"Yes, boss." Lao Wei replied.

In the next few days, Lu Yang and Lao Wei acted separately, investigating clues of the "Pangu Project" while investigating the whereabouts of the "Bashu Order".

However, their investigation did not go smoothly. "Zero" seemed to have been prepared and wiped out all the clues, leaving them with no way to start.

Lu Yang felt a little anxious. He knew that time was running out and he had to find "Zero" as soon as possible, otherwise, everything would be too late.

That night, Lu Yang came to the "Hongmei" teahouse again, wanting to ask Liu Ruyan for some information.

Liu Ruyan was behind the counter, playing the pipa gracefully. When she heard Lu Yang come in, she smiled and motioned him to talk in the room in the backyard.

"Lu Yang, how have you been recently? Have you made any new discoveries?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Lu Yang shook his head, a hint of disappointment on his face. "I haven't made any progress here. 'Zero' seems very cautious, and all the clues are broken."

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard some news about the 'Pangu Project'."

Lu Yang's spirits immediately brightened when he heard this. "What news?"

"I heard that the experts from the United States have been secretly researching a new type of bomb recently. This bomb is extremely powerful and can destroy any building," said Liu Ruyan.

Lu Yang was shocked when he heard this. "A new type of bomb? What does Zero want to do with this kind of bomb?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head. "I don't know either, but I heard that Zero has sent people to steal the blueprints for this bomb."

Lu Yang knew that things had become even more complicated. "Zero" not only wanted to obtain the "Pangu Project", but also wanted to obtain the blueprints of the new bomb. His ambition was really too big!

"Ruyan, please help me find out who the person sent by 'Zero' to steal the blueprints is and where the blueprints are stored." Lu Yang said.

"Okay, I'll do my best." Liu Ruyan nodded in agreement.

Lu Yang left the "Red Plum" teahouse, his heart filled with worry. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth about "Zero", but at the same time, he also felt that danger was approaching step by step.

"Zero" is a very cunning enemy. He is meticulous and cruel. If you are not careful, you will be devoured by him.

He must be more careful and cautious in order to finally defeat this powerful enemy.

After returning to the secret contact point, Lu Yang immediately told Lao Wei the news that Liu Ruyan had told him, and asked him to send someone to investigate the drawings of the new bomb.

After hearing this, Old Wei's face also changed drastically. "Boss, this is a serious matter. If Zero really gets the blueprints for the new bomb, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"I know." Lu Yang nodded. "So we must find the blueprints before Zero does and stop his conspiracy."

"But now we don't even know where the drawings are stored. Where should we start?" asked Lao Wei.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "We can start with those experts from the United States. Since they are researching new bombs, they must know where the blueprints are stored."

"However, those experts are under strict protection and it is difficult for us to get close to them," said Lao Wei.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "That depends on our ability."

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket with the names and addresses of the American experts written on it.

"Old Wei, send someone to investigate the living habits of these experts and their weaknesses," Lu Yang said. "As long as we find their weaknesses, we'll have a chance to get close to them."

"Yes, boss." Lao Wei replied.

(Continued from above)

Just when Lu Yang was busy deploying various plans, a sudden piece of news disrupted his plans.

Old Wei ran into the backyard of the photo studio in a panic and said in a low voice, "Boss, something happened! Liu Ruyan was arrested!"

When Lu Yang heard this, he was struck by lightning and his mind went blank.

"What? Liu Ruyan was arrested?!" he asked in disbelief. "What happened? Who arrested her?"

Old Wei panted and said anxiously, "It was the military police. They broke into the Red Plum Teahouse, arrested Liu Ruyan, and took away all the employees and customers."

Lu Yang's face turned pale. He knew that if Liu Ruyan's identity was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. "Why did the military police arrest her? What did she do wrong?"

Old Wei shook his head. "The specific reason is still unclear. I only know that the military police said she was suspected of collaborating with the Communist Party."

Lu Yang knew in his heart that this must be a conspiracy of "Zero". He must have known Liu Ruyan's true identity, so he used the military police to eliminate this threat.

"Boss, what should we do?" Old Wei asked anxiously. "If Liu Ruyan falls into the hands of the military police, I'm afraid she'll be in great danger."

Lu Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the most important thing now was to rescue Liu Ruyan and not let her fall into the hands of the military police.

"Immediately find out where Liu Ruyan is being held and the specific deployment of the military police." Lu Yang ordered, "I want to rescue her personally."

"Yes, boss." Lao Wei responded and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Lu Yang stood in the backyard of the photo studio, looking at the gloomy sky, his heart filled with worry. He knew that rescuing Liu Ruyan would be extremely difficult. The military police were a Japanese-controlled army with strict security. Trying to rescue someone from them would be like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

However, he could not give up. No matter what the cost, he had to rescue Liu Ruyan.

At the same time, an unexpected incident occurred in a casino called "Chunfengdeyi" in the mountain city.

"Chunfengdeyi" is the largest casino in the mountain city and a gathering place for people from all walks of life. The bright lights, the extravagant life and the extravagant lifestyle here attract countless gamblers to spend their money every day.

That night, the casino was bustling with activity. A wealthy businessman, dressed in fancy clothes, was sitting at a gambling table, playing baccarat with several other gamblers.

This wealthy businessman is named Li Yaozu. He is a famous businessman in the mountain city and also a notorious gambler. He is addicted to gambling and often goes in and out of casinos, spending money like water.

However, no one knew that Li Yaozu had another unknown identity. He was an undercover member of the Military Control Commission in the mountain city, responsible for collecting intelligence and transmitting messages.

Li Yaozu came to the casino today not to gamble, but to meet with a mysterious person.

"Boss Li, you're lucky tonight." A man in a black suit walked up to Li Yaozu and said with a smile.

Li Yaozu raised his head and glanced at the man in black, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. "Not bad, just a few rounds for fun."

"Boss Li, you're in such a good mood." The man in black smiled and said in a low voice, "I have a message from above for you, Boss Li. How is the progress on the 'Bashu Order'?"

Li Yaozu's face changed slightly when he heard this. He knew that the man in black in front of him was his superior, who was responsible for contacting him.

"We are still investigating. There are no clues yet." Li Yaozu said in a low voice.

The man in black frowned. "The higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously. Boss Li, you must hurry and find the 'Bashu Order' as soon as possible."

"I understand." Li Yaozu nodded.

The man in black patted Li Yaozu on the shoulder and turned to leave the casino.

Li Yaozu watched the black-clad figure leave, his heart filled with worry. He knew that the "Bashu Order" was of great importance, and if he couldn't find it quickly, he might be killed.

At this moment, a woman in a cheongsam walked up to Li Yaozu and said seductively, "Boss Li, you've been playing for so long, are you tired? Do you want me to have a drink with you?"

Li Yaozu raised his head and glanced at the woman, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes. This woman was a prostitute in the casino, making money by selling her body. He despised such people the most.

"Get out of here!" Li Yaozu said in disgust.

The woman was scolded by Li Yaozu, and a look of grievance appeared on her face. She left in embarrassment.

Li Yaozu ignored the woman and continued playing baccarat.

However, he could not concentrate and kept thinking about the "Bashu Order".

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. He turned around suddenly and saw a man in a suit standing behind him with a strange smile on his face.

"Boss Li, excuse me." The man in the suit said in a low voice.

Li Yaozu frowned and asked warily, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

The man in the suit smiled, took out a dagger from his pocket, and stabbed Li Yaozu in the back.

Li Yaozu widened his eyes and looked at the man in the suit in front of him in disbelief. He wanted to shout, but found that he could no longer make a sound.

Blood gushed out from Li Yaozu's wound, staining his clothes and the gambling table in front of him red.

Li Yaozu slowly fell to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.

The man in the suit pulled out the dagger, wiped the blood, and quickly left the casino.

"Killing! Killing!"

The casino suddenly became chaotic, people panicked and fled in all directions.

The news of a murder at the "Chunfengdeyi" Casino quickly spread throughout the mountain city, causing an uproar.

At this time, Lu Yang was leading the Military Intelligence Bureau agents to the gendarmerie’s base to rescue Liu Ruyan.

Can they successfully rescue Ruyan Liu? What kind of conspiracy will "Zero" unleash? What secrets does the "Bashu Order" hide?

The night sky of the mountain city is still covered with dark clouds, foreshadowing a dark and unknown future...

In the backyard of the photo studio, Lu Yang changed into a military police uniform, which he got from the black market. Although it was a huge risk, he could not care less in order to rescue Liu Ruyan.

"Boss, everything is ready." Lao Wei brought a few core members of the Military Control Commission and also changed into military police uniforms. Each of them looked solemn and murderous.

"Remember, this operation can only succeed, not fail." Lu Yang said in a deep voice, "Liu Ruyan is very important to us. No matter what the cost, we must rescue her."

"Yes, Boss!" everyone answered in unison.

Lu Yang led the team, driving a captured military police truck towards the military police station. The night was like thick ink, dyeing the streets of the mountain city pitch black. Only the glaring headlights of the truck could barely illuminate the road ahead.

The military police station was located in an abandoned barracks on the outskirts of the mountain city, surrounded by barbed wire and sentries, and was heavily guarded. Lu Yang knew that a violent attack was impossible and that he could only use his wits to defeat them.

The truck slowly stopped in front of the gendarmerie. Lu Yang jumped out of the car first, walked to the sentry post, and saluted the gendarmerie on guard.

"I am the captain of the special operations team of the gendarmerie, and I have been ordered to escort a group of prisoners here." Lu Yang said in fluent Japanese.

The guarding military police looked Lu Yang up and down, his eyes full of suspicion. "Password!"

Lu Yang had anticipated this, and he skillfully said the password he had learned in advance.

The guard's expression softened after hearing this, and he nodded. "Go in."

Lu Yang was delighted, knowing that the first step had been successful. He waved his hand, signaling his men to follow, and then drove the truck slowly into the gendarmerie station.

After entering the gendarmerie compound, Lu Yang discovered that the security there was even tighter than he had imagined. Patrolling soldiers, armed with live ammunition, were everywhere, moving back and forth.

Lu Yang knew that he had to find Liu Ruyan as soon as possible, otherwise once he was exposed, it would be difficult to escape.

"Old Wei, take a few people and go to the interrogation room to find out about Liu Ruyan." Lu Yang whispered, "Remember, be careful and don't reveal your identity."

"Yes, boss." Lao Wei responded and quietly left with a few people.

Lu Yang continued driving the truck, wandering around the gendarmerie base, looking for Liu Ruyan's whereabouts.

He knew that Liu Ruyan must be imprisoned, so he focused his attention on the direction of the prison.

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Yang saw a building with high walls and electric fences. Several armed gendarmes were standing at the door. It was the prison.

Lu Yang was delighted, knowing that Liu Ruyan must be inside. He slowly drove the truck to the prison gate and stopped.

"I am the captain of the special operations team, and I have been ordered to interrogate a prisoner." Lu Yang said to the guarding military police.

The military police officer on guard frowned and asked cautiously, "Interrogating the prisoner? Which unit gave the order?"
