Lu Yang's heart tightened and he quickly stepped forward to stop the two soldiers.

"Wait, I know this guy. What did he do wrong?"

The two soldiers looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"

"Investigation Office, Lu Yang." Lu Yang showed his ID and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Oh, Commander Lu." One of the soldiers saluted. "This man was arrested by the inspection team. They said he's an internal wanted criminal. We're just escorting him."

"Internally wanted?" Lu Yang frowned. "What did he do?"

"We don't know about this either, Commander Lu. If you have any questions, you can go directly to the inspection team and ask."

Lu Yang nodded and watched the military vehicle leave, his heart filled with confusion. The tailor was clearly an underground party member, so why was he wanted by the army?

He decided to go to the inspection team to find out, and turned around and walked towards the office building where the inspection team was located.

……

In the office of the inspection team captain, Lu Yang sat upright, and opposite him sat a burly man with a face full of flesh. It was the inspection team captain, Long Feihu.

"Captain Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Long Feihu asked with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Captain Long, I heard that you arrested a man named Zhou Qing. I want to know more about the situation." Lu Yang said straight to the point.

"Zhou Qing? He is a fugitive wanted by our army. Why are you asking about him?" Long Feihu looked at him warily.

"I know him and want to know what crime he committed." Lu Yang said calmly, "Why, Captain Long, is it inconvenient for you to disclose it?"

"Commander Lu, this is an internal matter of our army. As a member of the Investigation Department, you have no right to interfere." Long Feihu's tone became tough.

"Captain Long, you're wrong," Lu Yang sneered. "Does this mean the military can knowingly break the law and arrest innocent civilians for internal affairs?"

"You..." Long Feihu was choked by him. He pointed at Lu Yang and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Captain Long, I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I will have to report to my superiors." Lu Yang said in a firm tone.

Long Feihu knew that Lu Yang was not easy to deal with, and that he had Chen Yijun's support behind him, so he had to compromise.

"Okay, Commander Lu, let me tell you, this Zhou Qing is a Communist. We suspect he's involved in an arms smuggling case, so we arrested him."

Lu Yang sneered inwardly. Arms smuggling? This was clearly a frame-up. Zhou Qing was clearly an underground member of the Communist Party, so how could he be involved in arms smuggling?

"Captain Long, aren't the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperating now? Besides, do you have any evidence?" Lu Yang asked.

"Of course, we have evidence of his connection with the Communist Party." Long Feihu said confidently.

Lu Yang knew he was lying, but now he had no evidence and could not refute it.

"Captain Long, I know this man. I believe he is not a Communist. You'd better let him go, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Lu Yang said in a cold tone.

"Captain Lu, are you threatening me?" Long Feihu said angrily.

"You can understand it that way." Lu Yang stood up. "That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Lu Yang turned around and left Long Feihu's office.

……

Lu Yang walked out of the inspection team's office, his heart filled with worry. Zhou Qing's arrest meant that our party's underground organization in Shanghai had been exposed, and now we had to find a way to rescue him.

He returned to his office and called Song Amao over.

"Amao, I have a task for you," Lu Yang whispered. "Go find out where the inspection team is holding Zhou Qing. The more detailed the better."

"Yes, Captain Lu." Song Amao nodded in agreement, turned around and left the office.

Lu Yang sat on the chair with a frown on his face, thinking about how to rescue Zhou Qing.

The Inspection Department of the Security Command is generally staffed by Dai Yunong's people.

Go directly to Dai Yunong? Unrealistic.

We have to find the first lady.

"Chen Yijun..." He murmured to himself, "Can you help me this time?"

Lu Yang returned to the office, and the scene of Zhou Qing being escorted onto the military vehicle kept replaying in his mind.

He must find a way to rescue Zhou Qing as soon as possible, but directly confronting Long Feihu is obviously not a wise move. He needs a safer method.

"Got it!" Lu Yang's mind flashed, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew who to ask for help.

That night, Lu Yang called Chen Yijun.

"Yijun, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner, and by the way, I want to talk to you about something." Lu Yang's tone was gentle, with a hint of imperceptible flattery.

Chen Yijun on the other end of the phone was stunned at first, then her tone was filled with surprise: "Okay, it's rare for you to take the initiative to ask me out. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Of course Lu Yang knew Chen Yijun's preferences, so he chose a French restaurant she often went to.

The lights in the restaurant were soft and the music was soothing. The two sat opposite each other in a harmonious atmosphere.

While Lu Yang was cutting steak for her, he casually said, "Yijun, do you remember the last time we were in Ning'an County, I took you to the mutton wonton restaurant on Qingshui Street? There was a tailor shop next door, and the owner's cheongsam skills were exceptional."

Chen Yijun put down her knife and fork and asked curiously, "Are you talking about the store that was shut down by the Secret Service? I remember the cheongsams in the window and I liked them, but the owner seemed to be quite problematic."

Lu Yang sighed deliberately, "Yeah, that boss's craftsmanship is truly amazing. I've seen so many tailors, but his cheongsams are the best fit. What a pity..."

"What a pity?" Chen Yijun asked. She had a natural love for cheongsams, and she became even more interested when she heard the word "fitting".

"It's a pity that he was captured by the army. I just saw him at the security headquarters. They said he was a Communist. I don't know how he is doing now." Lu Yang deliberately pretended to be regretful.

"Communist Party?" Chen Yijun frowned slightly. "Now that the KMT and the CCP are collaborating, those people in the army are really looking for trouble. I think Dai Yunong is probably looking for an excuse to arrest people in order to gain merit."

Lu Yang was secretly delighted that Chen Yijun had indeed taken the bait.

"Yeah, you said it would be great if the boss could come out and make a few cheongsams for you. I guarantee that after you wear them, no one in Shanghai can match you." He continued to fan the flames.

When Chen Yijun heard this, she was immediately moved.

Her love for cheongsam was unmatched, especially when Lu Yang said he could make her the most beautiful woman in Shanghai, she couldn't refuse.

"Are you serious? Is he really that powerful?" Chen Yijun's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" Lu Yang said confidently. "If you want, I'll take you to the inspection team right now and get the person out."

Chen Yijun nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, let's go now."

Lu Yang was secretly proud in his heart, everything was in his plan.

……

That afternoon, Chen Yijun brought Lu Yang and Ye Wanru to the inspection team.
