Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The truck's headlights came back on, illuminating the road ahead.

After passing this point, and driving along the valley for a while, we finally got onto a proper road.

It's not the kind of dirt road on the other side of the border, but a road with compacted ground and paved with stones.

Once we got here, we relaxed, but we hadn't gone far when a checkpoint appeared ahead, and several sentries raised their hands to signal the truck to stop.

They also raised their guns, just in case.

"Stop the car! Inspect!"

The clerk laughed, stuck his head out, and shouted, "Squad Leader Wei! It's me!"

The soldier was overjoyed. He gestured for the person next to him to put down their gun, ran over, and leaned against the car window, asking, "You're finally back! We thought something had gone wrong! Come on, let's drive forward, everyone's waiting for you!"

The man didn't check the other people in the car; he even smiled and nodded at Jiang Sen before ordering the gate to be opened so they could pass.

The man laughed heartily, and as the car drove forward, he said to the soldiers below, "Wait for me to come back and we'll have a drink!"

"You know them?" Jiang Sen asked after a while.

"Of course I know him! This road has always been under the jurisdiction of Squad Leader Wei! Their border control is like a sieve; if we can come across, others can too. They can't stop us, so we can't let our guard down!"

At 9:30, the vehicle drove into a barracks.

Seeing the same faces, the enthusiastic soldiers, and the hot food again moved Jiang Sen and his companions to tears.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, an officer personally led them to a warm barracks to rest.

Only when the bathwater is so dirty it could be used to build a wall can it be considered clean.

Jiang Sen changed into clean clothes, and before his hair was even dry, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he heard voices outside and quickly got out of bed.

He drew back the curtains, and the blinding sunlight made him squint. Against the light, he saw two people standing outside talking.

"Brother Lu!?" Jiang Sen exclaimed, turning around to call Qianmian and Wang Haiyang, "Get up, get up, get up quickly! Brother Lu is here!"

After waking the person, Jiang Sen ran out the door, "Brother Lu! What brings you here?"

Lu Jiefang smiled gently, "Awake?"

"Ok!"

"You must have had a hard trip!"

"It's not hard work!"

"Well done! You've done a great job again. The higher-ups said that if you can safely transport the goods back to China this time, you'll be awarded the top credit!"

Jiang Sen chuckled foolishly, "I'm just checking if it's convenient to come and go. If it's convenient, I'd like to bring back the two planes that Val has stored in the warehouse!"

Lu Jiefang smiled and said, "It's good that you have the intention! The higher-ups are also discussing it with them, and the government will step in to buy it."

Jiang Sen knew that the country had very little foreign exchange reserves. If he hid away and quietly chattered with crickets, he probably wouldn't have as much as he did.

But much of his money wasn't earned honestly, so I can't say.

He didn't ask how Lu Jiefang resolved the issue.

After Wang Haiyang and Qianmian came out, everyone had another lively discussion.

Wang Haiyang and Lu Jiefang had known each other for a long time. Like Luo Jianshe, he had admired Lu Jiefang since childhood. Now that he could fight alongside him, he was so happy that snot bubbles were about to come out of his nose.

Lu Jiefang praised him a few times and told him to do a good job. Wang Haiyang even stood at attention and saluted.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Jiefang introduced the officer beside him to Jiang Sen. He was a regimental commander of a border defense force with numerous merits.

We all went out for breakfast, then got into the car and drove directly to a military airport, where we boarded a plane back to Kyoto.

On the plane, Jiang Sen still felt like he was in a dream, and it all seemed unreal.

With my eyes closed, all I could see in my mind were images of encountering wolves and Japanese soldiers in the jungle.

Wang Haiyang had already told Lu Jiefang the whole story of his return, and Lu Jiefang nodded repeatedly as he listened.

“You’re lucky you didn’t encounter any bears, otherwise things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly,” Lu Jiefang said. “You’ve been away for more than two months, and there are still many things you don’t know.”

Jiang Sen opened his eyes and looked at Lu Jiefang. "Something happened in Kyoto again?"

"It's not exactly an accident!" Lu Jiefang said. "It's just that something from before has come to a conclusion, and it's related to you in some ways."

"You mean that thing about the neighborhood? Isn't it over yet?"

Lu Jiefang laughed, "There were some twists and turns in this matter later on."

After Zhang Zhongwu's identity was exposed, the authorities did not rush to arrest him, but instead carefully laid a large net.

They first obtained evidence of his private meeting with his biological father, Yokogatsu, and then a Japanese exchange delegation visited.

Luo Jianshe also deserves credit for this, as he placed the listening device on Zhang Zhongwu.

Then I heard a recording of him meeting privately with the head of the exchange group, Matsumoto Bridge.

Japan left behind many spies in the early days of its surrender.

At the same time, the carefully cultivated youth shock troops of the "Change the Country" plan were all placed in every corner of China.

Afterwards, he gave Zhang Zhongwu orders to find a way to stage a bombing during the exchange visit with the Japanese delegation.

This could not only cause social panic, but also make it easier for Japan to exert diplomatic pressure on China in order to achieve the goal of getting the island in the sea to belong to Japan.

Just yesterday, while Jiang Sen and his team were still in the mountains, they caught Zhang Zhongwu red-handed at the Kyoto bus station for attempting to plant explosives.

Then, the design led to Yokogoka and the area under Matsumoto Bridge.

It can be said that the evidence is irrefutable, leaving them no room to turn the tables.

The incident was immediately announced internationally, and negotiations are underway with Japan.

These matters were considered concluded here, but Jiang Sen felt as if there was still something left undone.

"Since they say it's some kind of youth commando team for the 'Change the Country' plan, how many people are in the team? Have they all been identified?"

“They have a list, which they found in Zhang Zhongwu’s house, and they are arresting people one by one.”

"Well done!" Wang Haiyang suddenly exclaimed. "These people are still determined to destroy China. The sooner we catch them, the sooner we can restore peace to our country!"

With a smile, Qianmian listened. "I'm interested in one thing right now: what is Japan's plan to change its country?"

"Literal meaning! They're still eyeing our beautiful land!"

The topic was somewhat heavy, and everyone could see that the task ahead was arduous and the pressure was immense.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jiefang said again, "I didn't know that! The two Wang brothers were shot dead in the mountains of Jiangxi Province!"

"Good!" Jiang Sen also cheered this time.

“And something even more serious has happened!” Lu Jiefang sighed, seemingly finding the topic too heavy. “In June, a tragic case occurred in Hongqigou, Inner Mongolia Province, and it has finally been solved. The higher-ups have already held a meeting and issued a nationwide crackdown notice. If this isn't addressed, many people will become lawless!”

Jiang Sen knew about this, but he didn't expect to receive the news on the plane.

"It's time to rectify this!" Jiang Sen said. "Many people have gone down a path of no return for various reasons. If we don't rectify this, society will descend into chaos!"

Lu Jiefang smiled and said, "After you return to Kyoto, you should get some rest and avoid going out unless necessary!"

Jiang Sen turned to look out the porthole. Blue sky and white clouds, a clear and bright world. Before long, China will get better and better!

He was powerless to change history, and could only use his meager abilities to help solve as many problems as he could!

He suddenly laughed, turned to Lu Jiefang and asked, "Brother Lu, you said the higher-ups would give me the top credit this time. If I do something even bigger, what credit will they give me?"
