Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

Outside the police station, the sound of a car was heard.

Several black cars stopped in front of the police station.

Several men in Mao suits and top hats got off the bus.

They walked hurriedly towards the police station compound.

The police on duty saw them and immediately stepped forward.

The leading man took out his ID and showed it to the police on duty.

When the police on duty saw the ID, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Sir!"

The leading man did not stop and led the others into the compound.

They saw Lu Yang and Lao Huang sitting in the car at a glance.

And the bulging suitcase in Old Huang's arms.

The leading man walked to the car and stopped.

He looked at Lu Yang sharply.

"Lu Yang?"

"it's me."

Lu Yang got out of the car.

"Are you from the special operations team?"

The leading man nodded.

"Commander Lin asked us to pick you up."

He looked at Lu Yang, then at Lao Huang and the suitcase.

His gaze lingered on the suitcase for a few seconds.

"Is this the evidence you found?"

he asked.

Lu Yang knew that this was a problem he had to face.

He couldn't just say it was money.

He had to find a way to temporarily separate the money from the evidence.

Or at least make the other person care less.

"Part of it."

Lu Yang said.

"Important evidence, such as the radio, code book, and documents, are all in the base."

"I've asked the police to keep him there temporarily."

"This box contains some... other things."

He said.

The leading man looked at the suitcase in Lao Huang's arms with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"something else?"

His eyes moved between Lu Yang and Lao Huang.

He noticed that Lao Huang's body was a little stiff as he held the box.

"Yes."

Lu Yang nodded.

"Some scattered items."

"And...some money."

He hesitated for a moment, but finally admitted that there was money in it.

He knew that complete concealment was impossible.

But its importance can be downplayed.

"money?"

The leading man raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Lu Yang with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Lu Yang, when you reported, you only mentioned 'a batch of money'."

"It seems that this is more than just a 'batch'."

He walked forward and tried to take the suitcase from Lao Huang's arms.

"Let me see what's inside."

Old Huang was startled and instinctively held the suitcase tighter in his arms.

Lu Yang's heart sank suddenly.

This was the obstacle he encountered.

He had to stop them from opening the box now.

He took a step forward and stood in front of the leading man.

"Sir, the money in the box is huge."

Lu Yang's voice was low.

"Opening it rashly may cause unnecessary trouble."

"Also, this box is guarded by my assistant."

"I think the safest way is to keep him at the police station temporarily, under the joint supervision of the police comrades and my assistants."

The leading man looked at Lu Yang with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Lu Yang, do you know what you are talking about?"

"This is the mission assigned by our Chief Lin. We must take away all the evidence we collect."

Lu Yang's mind was working fast.

He knew he couldn't show any guilt.

He had to appear justified.

"Sir, I understand the discipline."

Lu Yang said.

"But this money is indeed a special case."

"It may involve some channels that we don't understand yet."

"I suggest that we first bring back other important evidence and conduct a more in-depth inspection of the stronghold."

"This money can be temporarily kept by the police station and my assistant until Chief Lin gives his instructions."

The leading man didn't say anything, he just stared at Lu Yang.

He seemed to be judging whether what Lu Yang said was true or false.

Lu Yang knew that this was a critical moment.

He had to convince this person.

He took a deep breath and looked at the leading man.

"Sir, time is of the essence."

"The radio and documents in the base are the most important."

"'Shadow' could sense the base being exposed at any moment and destroy any remaining evidence."

"We should prioritize this core evidence."

The leading man was silent for a moment.

He glanced at Lu Yang, then at Lao Huang and the suitcase.

He seemed to weigh the pros and cons.

Finally, he nodded.

"it is good."

"Just do as you say."

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had passed the test for the time being.

The leading man walked towards the police station office building.

He said to the people behind him: "You guys, follow me to the stronghold."

"The rest of you, stay here and keep an eye on the people and the cars."

He walked to the door of the police station's duty room and said to the officer on duty, "Call out your sheriff."

Soon, a short and fat man in police uniform ran out.

He is the chief of this police station.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

The sheriff bowed.

The leading man walked up to the sheriff and lowered his voice.

Although Lu Yang was standing not far away, he could still vaguely hear some words with his hearing ability.

"...this box...that person...keep an eye on it...no one...can move without my order..."

Lu Yang knew that this man was secretly instructing the sheriff to keep an eye on Lao Huang and the box.

This is both a constraint on him and a protection for Lao Huang and the box.

At least, they were safe until the task force officially took over.

After the leading man gave the sheriff instructions, he turned around and looked at Lu Yang.

"Lu Yang, come with me to the base."

Lu Yang nodded.

He knew he had to follow.

He had to ensure that the evidence was transferred safely.

Moreover, he needs to understand the situation further.

He looked at Lao Huang.

Old Huang was holding the suitcase, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Lu Yang knew that Lao Huang was worried that he would abandon him.

He nodded to Lao Huang.

"Old Huang, wait for me here."

"Remember what I said."

Old Huang nodded vigorously.

His eyes were full of trust and expectation for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang knew that Lao Huang had staked his entire fate on him.

He said nothing more.

He turned around and followed the leading man towards the police station door.

They got into one of the black cars.

The car starts.

Heading towards Liu Yiguang's stronghold.

In the car, Lu Yang leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

The little setback he just experienced made him realize more deeply how difficult it is to survive in this troubled world.

Every step is full of danger and calculation.

He squeezed the document bag tighter in his hand.

It contained Liu Yiguang's diary and the code book he found.

These things are the most important gains of his operation.

As for the suitcase full of money.

He knew it was just a windfall.

It’s also a huge hassle.

It is now stored in the police station and is under the care of Lao Huang and the police officers at the police station.

But he knew that this matter was not over yet.

Sooner or later, there will be an explanation for that money.

He needed to find a way to keep his own part and give Dai Yunong a reasonable explanation.

This requires more wisdom and means.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Outside the window, the night is dark.

The car was moving forward on the bumpy road.

Lu Yang knew that he still had a long way to go.

Moreover, it is full of unknowns.

He recalled the vague words he heard at the Sakura Pavilion.

"...'Shadow'...Identity...Verification...Seven days...Hongkou Wharf..."
