Chapter 730 Bomb blueprints?

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed with emotion, but she whispered, "I heard from Old Wei that you got the bomb blueprints?"

Lu Yang nodded, pulled out a copy from his pocket, and handed it to her. "Look, Zero has big ambitions."

Liu Ruyan took the copy and carefully read it, her expression growing increasingly serious. "This bomb is incredibly powerful. If Zero succeeds, even the Sichuan Army won't be able to stop it."

Lu Yang snorted coldly. "He has to get past me first."

Liu Ruyan looked up, her eyes complicated. "Lu Yang, who are you? You're a Major General of the Military Control Commission, but I always feel like... you're not simple."

Lu Yang smiled, a deep look flashing in his eyes. "Ruyan, there are some things you don't need to know."

Liu Ruyan wanted to ask more questions, but there was a hurried knock on the door.

Old Wei pushed the door open and walked in, looking panicked. "Boss, something bad has happened! Chen Yijun is here!"

Lu Yang frowned. It was definitely not a good thing for his fiancée, Chen Yijun, the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, to come here at this moment.

"Let her in." He said in a deep voice, his tone as calm as water.

A moment later, Chen Yijun walked in. Her cheongsam outlined her graceful figure, but there was a hint of coldness between her eyebrows.

"Lu Yang, you are so brave." She questioned him as soon as she opened her mouth, with an imposing manner.

Lu Yang stood up, met her gaze, and raised his lips slightly. "Yijun, why do you say that?"

Chen Yijun sneered, pulled a piece of intelligence from her bag, and tossed it onto the table. "Last night, the gendarmerie was attacked, and the embassy blueprints were stolen. The whole city is saying it was you who did it."

Lu Yang glanced at the information and said calmly, "It's just a rumor, Yijun, do you believe it?"

Chen Yijun stared at him, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes. "Lu Yang, you're from the Military Control Commission. I don't believe you would do such a thing, but if it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Lu Yang approached her and whispered, "Yijun, there are some things I can't tell you, but you have to believe me."

Chen Yijun was silent for a moment, then softened her tone. "Lu Yang, I don't care what you do, just don't embarrass me."

Lu Yang nodded, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Chen Yijun is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. If she discovers his red identity, he will be in big trouble.

After seeing Chen Yijun off, Lu Yang returned to the secret room, lit a cigarette, and his thoughts flowed.

His wife Qinglan is Japanese, his fiancée Chen Yijun is from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and his confidante Ye Wanru is from the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. These identities of his are really frightening.

But who was he? A time traveler, a master of playing the pig and eating the tiger. This little pressure was just a toy in his hand.

"Old Wei, gather the people and take action tonight." Lu Yang put out his cigarette, flames burning in his eyes.

Old Wei was stunned. "Boss, where are you going?"

Lu Yang sneered. "I'm going to personally uncover the whereabouts of Liu Xiang's former subordinate, the 'Bashu Order.'"

As night falls, the lights in the mountain city dim and the fog wanders like a ghost.

Lu Yang changed into black clothes and took Lao Wei and several elite agents to the residence of Zhang Debiao, one of Liu Xiang's old subordinates.

Zhang Debiao, a close confidant of Liu Xiang during his lifetime, now lives in seclusion in a mountain city, but secretly controls a local force.

Outside the mansion, several guards were patrolling with guns, and security was tight.

Lu Yang hid in the dark, raised the sniper rifle "Qinglong", and locked the crosshairs on a guard.

"Bang!" With a light sound, blood burst out from the guard's brow and he fell to the ground silently.

Old Wei led his men over quickly and dealt with the remaining guards, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

Lu Yang put away his gun, rushed into the mansion first, and went straight to the study.

In the study, Zhang Debiao was sitting at the table, flipping through the account book. When he heard the noise, he looked up suddenly.

"Who!" he shouted, reaching for the drawer.

Lu Yang stepped forward, put the gun to his forehead, and said coldly: "Don't move, where is the 'Bashu Order'?"

Zhang Debiao's face changed, but he forced himself to remain calm. "What Bashu Order? I don't know!"

Lu Yang sneered and pulled the trigger. The bullet flew past Zhang Debiao's ear and shattered the vase behind him.

"Will you tell me or not?" His voice was as cold as ice and filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Debiao's forehead was covered with sweat, and he finally broke down. "In... in the basement, in the safe!"

Lu Yang waved his hand, and Lao Wei led his men to escort Zhang Debiao to the basement.

The basement was dark and damp, with an iron safe standing in the corner.

Lu Yang stepped forward and used the lock-picking skills he learned in his previous life to open the cabinet door in no time.

Inside, an ancient copper token lay quietly, with the words "Bashu" engraved on it.

Lu Yang picked up the token, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "It's done."

At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the mansion, mixed with shouts of killing in Japanese.

"Oh no, the people from 'Zero' are coming!" Lao Wei whispered, his face changed drastically.

Lu Yang put the token into his arms and sneered. "Just in time."

He turned around, set up the "Qinglong", and locked onto the enemy outside through the window.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The gunshots sounded like thunder. The Japanese soldiers who rushed into the mansion fell one after another, and the long street was stained with blood.

Lu Yang's figure was like a ghost, twisting and turning, and every shot he fired was accurate and deadly.

Lao Wei led his men to guard the door and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army. The gunfire was intertwined and the murderous aura was overwhelming.

Lu Yang shot the enemy leader in the head, turned around and shouted, "Retreat!"

He took Lao Wei and the agents, broke out from the back door, and disappeared into the night.

Back at the photo studio, Lu Yang placed the "Bashu Order" on the table, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Boss, Zero must be anxious now." Old Wei grinned.

Lu Yang nodded, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "He was anxious, so he revealed his flaws."

Just then, the door of the secret room was pushed open and Qinglan walked in.

She was dressed in a kimono, with a beautiful face, but a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Lu Yang, have you been busy lately?"

Lu Yang turned around and smiled faintly. "I'm busy earning your dowry."

Qinglan walked closer, sniffed the smell of gunpowder on him, and frowned slightly. "Killed again?"

Lu Yang pulled her over, held her in his arms, and whispered, "Don't ask, I will protect you."

Qinglan leaned on his chest, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Yang lowered his head and kissed her forehead, but sneered in his heart.

Qinglan is Japanese. What would happen if we knew his true identity?

He doesn't care. He is a time traveler, and he wants to be in charge of the chess game in this mountain city.

The next day, Ye Wanru brought news that some of Liu Xiang's former subordinates were secretly colluding with "Zero".

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, murderous intent surging. "Alright, dig them out, leaving no one behind."

He gathered people, took the "Bashu Order" and drawings, and prepared for the next storm.

The sky of the mountain city is covered with dark clouds, and a bloody storm is about to come.

Lu Yang stood in front of the window, the "Qinglong" in his hand glowing coldly, and a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Zero, just wait. I want you to lose this game miserably."

Lu Yang stood in front of the window in the backyard of the photo studio, the "Qinglong" sniper rifle in his hand emitting a cold luster under the dim light.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes like knives, piercing through the thick fog of the mountain city, as if he could see the hideous face of "Zero" hidden in the dark.

"Old Wei, send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Debiao's former subordinates to see if anyone else has connections with 'Zero'." Lu Yang whispered, his tone as cold as ice.

Old Wei nodded, turned around and left quickly, his footsteps echoing in the silent night.

Lu Yang put the "Bashu Order" in his arms and locked the drawings of the new bomb in the safe in the secret room.

He knew that these two things were the lifeblood of Zero and the key to his turnaround.

But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.

Liu Ruyan pushed the door open and walked in, her face pale and her eyes filled with anxiety. "Lu Yang, something happened!"

Lu Yang turned his head, frowning slightly. "What's wrong?"

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and whispered, "I just received a tip that a waiter at the 'Red Plum' teahouse was arrested. The military police suspect he is our insider."

A murderous intent flashed in Lu Yang's eyes as he extinguished his cigarette. "Who did it?"

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said, "They're from the Military Police, but it must be Zero behind the scenes fanning the flames."

Lu Yang sneered, stood up and picked up the "Qinglong". "Okay, if he dares to touch my people, I will make him pay the price."

He changed into a military police uniform and spoke Japanese fluently like his mother tongue. He took Liu Ruyan and several elite agents and went straight to the military police's temporary interrogation point.

The night in the mountain city was as dark as ink, with a cold wind howling on the streets. The gendarmerie's interrogation point was set up in an abandoned warehouse with dim lights.

Lu Yang got out of the car and strode towards the door. The guard saw his rank and saluted and let him pass.

He pushed open the door of the warehouse and saw a young man tied to a chair, covered in blood and breathing weakly.

Lu Yang's heart tightened, but he remained calm and shouted in Japanese: "I am Major Yamada of the Special Operations Team. Who dares to touch my people?"

The interrogating military police were stunned and looked at each other. A lieutenant stepped forward and frowned, saying, "Major, this man is a communist. We have been ordered to interrogate him."

Lu Yang sneered, pulled out his pistol, and pressed it against the lieutenant's forehead. "On whose orders? Zero?"

The lieutenant's face changed, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Yang pulled the trigger. The bullet passed through his brain, and blood splattered on the spot.

The other military police panicked and raised their guns, but Lu Yang moved like lightning and fired several shots with the "Qinglong" in his hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The gunshots were like thunder, the gendarmes fell one by one, and the warehouse was stained with blood.

Liu Ruyan led people forward to rescue the servants, while Lu Yang stood among the corpses, his eyes as cold as a knife.

"Old Wei, take him away!" Lu Yang shouted in a low voice and turned to leave.

Back at the photo studio, the guy was placed in a secret room and given emergency treatment by a military doctor.

Lu Yang lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, but his thoughts drifted to another branch.

He remembered that a few days ago, Ye Wanru had mentioned a mysterious person - "Shadow".

It is said that "Shadow" is the right-hand man of "Zero", with secretive whereabouts and ruthless means, and is specifically responsible for clearing obstacles for "Zero".

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. If he could catch the "shadow", he might be able to uncover the true identity of "Zero".

"Old Wei, check for clues about 'Shadow', the sooner the better." Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

Old Wei responded and left, while Lu Yang sat alone in the secret room, opening a map of the mountain city.

His finger slid across the map and suddenly stopped at one place - the "Chunfengdeyi" Casino.

He recalled the information before Li Yaozu's death. It used to be the meeting point of the Military Control Commission, but now it has become one of the strongholds of "Zero".

Lu Yang curled up his lips into a cold smile and decided to find out the truth himself.

The next evening, he changed into a wealthy businessman's outfit, a suit and tie, holding a gold-plated cane, and went straight to the casino with Lao Wei.

"Chun Feng De Yi" is full of lights and wine, gamblers' shouts are deafening, and the smoke is lingering like a fairyland.

Lu Yang walked into the casino, his eyes like a hawk, scanning every corner.

He sat down at the gambling table and threw out a stack of bills, his expression full of generosity. "Come on, let's play a few hands!"

The dealer greeted with a smile and the gambling game started soon, but Lu Yang was absent-minded and secretly observed his surroundings.

Just then, a man in a black suit walked over, with a cold temperament and snake-like eyes.

Lu Yang's heart moved. This person had an extraordinary aura. Could he be the "Shadow"?

The man in black walked up to him and whispered, "Sir, can I have a moment to talk?"

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows, stood up and followed, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

The two men arrived at the casino's backyard. The man in black stopped, turned around, and sneered. "Boss Lu, I heard you've been doing pretty well lately."

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment. Who are you?"

The man in black smiled, murderous intent surging in his eyes. "Shadow."

Lu Yang was shocked, but he kept silent. "Shadow? Never heard of it."

Shadow snorted coldly, took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed Lu Yang fiercely.

Lu Yang was prepared. He moved to the side and the dagger brushed past him. He then turned around and punched the shadow in the face.

The shadow stumbled back and shouted angrily, "Excellent skills, it really is you!"

Lu Yang sneered, pulled out the pistol hidden in his cane, and pointed it at Shadow's forehead. "Tell me, where is Zero?"

Shadow gritted his teeth, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes. "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to find him!"

Lu Yang pulled the trigger, the bullet went through Shadow's brain, and he fell in a pool of blood.

He put away his gun, turned around and left, but his heart was calm.

"Shadow" is dead, and "Zero's" left and right arms are broken, but he knows that this is just the beginning.

Back at the photo studio, he gathered everyone together and arranged the next plan.

"Old Wei, Shadow is dead. Zero will definitely take action. Keep a close eye on the gendarmerie and the casino." Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

Old Wei nodded, but Liu Ruyan stepped forward and whispered, "Lu Yang, I have some news."

Lu Yang turned around, frowning slightly. "What?"

Liu Ruyan lowered her voice. "Qinglan has been very close to a Japanese businessman lately. I suspect...she's investigating you."

Lu Yang's heart tightened. Qinglan, his Japanese wife, actually became suspicious at this time.

He lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Okay, I'll meet her in person."

The next morning, Lu Yang changed into casual clothes and took "Qinglong" to the teahouse that Qinglan often went to.

Inside the teahouse, Qinglan was talking in a low voice with a Japanese businessman, and the atmosphere was mysterious.

Lu Yang walked into the teahouse, his eyes like knives falling on Qing Lan.

Qinglan looked up and saw that it was him. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. "Lu Yang, why are you here?"

Lu Yang sat down and smiled faintly. "Come and see what my dear wife is busy with."

The Japanese businessman stood up and nodded. "Mr. Lu, I've heard a lot about you."

Lu Yang glanced at him and said coldly, "Get lost."

The businessman's face changed, but he didn't dare to say anything more and turned away.

Qinglan frowned and whispered, "Lu Yang, what are you doing?"

Lu Yang took her hand, his tone gentle but murderous. "Qinglan, don't let me find out you're investigating me, otherwise..."

Qinglan shuddered, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. "I didn't."

Lu Yang smiled, released his hand, and stood up to leave. "It's better not to."
