Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chen Junyan described a bright future, but Lu Qihua and Lu Jingchuan could hear the sadness in his words.

It's as if they're reminiscing about someone.

Half an hour later, the old man stood up: "Young comrade, we will investigate the situation you reported."

"You'll stay at the guesthouse for now. I'll have Xiao He assign you tasks from the military."

Chen Junyan nodded: "You should get some rest, and if you have any problems, feel free to contact me!"

Lu Jingchuan saw the man out of the compound and then returned to ask his father, "Dad, how much of what he said is true and how much is false?"

"It's true, I think it's all true. But it's obvious that he's hiding something."

"It's normal for him to hide it; he's actually older than me. After being reborn, how could he not have his own little schemes?"

Ambition is not scary. As long as you are loyal to your country, even if it is a monster, we will still use it.

The question is whether he truly never betrayed his country in his past life.

"If he dared to come to the door immediately, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"That girl from the Meng family was also reborn, wasn't she? If we arrest her and find out her past, we can corroborate Chen Junyan's words."

"This matter... needs careful consideration!"

First, we need to ascertain the identities and networks of Chen Liang (Ryosuke Inoue) and Li Tian (Yoshiki Shimada).

We must find out exactly how many evils they have committed on this land of China.

And what about Meng Peiyu? Does she really have superpowers? After her rebirth, did she betray her country and collude with the enemy?

That night, Lu Qihua tossed and turned, unable to sleep. In the end, before dawn, he called Brigade Commander He.

They said they'd discovered something here and needed Chen Junyan to stay and help. They also sent Lu Yuan back to Beijing with a mission.

"Hey He, get that brat a ride and get him back as soon as possible!"

Brigade Commander He rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Don't worry, I'll check around to see if there are any planes going in the same direction. I'll make sure it doesn't delay anything."

And so, Lu Yuan was assigned a task before he could even ask his boss for leave.

I was woken up in the middle of the night, quickly packed my bags, and boarded a train to the neighboring province.

Then, at noon the next day, I hitched a ride on a transport plane back to Kyoto.

Chen Junyan never expected that he would meet his former good partner, Comrade Lu Yuan, in just one day and one night.

Compared to the powerful Commander Lu of later generations, Lu Yuan now has a handsome appearance and still retains the spirit of youth in his eyes.

Looking at the other person, I had a strange feeling, like looking at my own junior.

He stepped forward and opened his arms: "Long time no see, Lu Yuan!"

Lu Yuan punched him on the shoulder: "What's wrong with you, all mushy? It's just a mission, why are you acting like we haven't seen each other for ages?"

For Chen Junyan, the young Lu Yuan and the distant 1970s were the first half of his life.

When teased, Chen Junyan just laughed it off.

I called the two of them into my office and began assigning them tasks.

"This mission is fraught with danger. Do you two have the confidence?"

"Have!"

Lu Qihua didn't tell Lu Yuan about Chen Junyan's rebirth, only telling the two to be careful and that he would wait for their triumphant return.

From then on, the two began their investigation, one openly and the other covertly.

The investigation did not proceed as smoothly as expected. Even with the intelligence provided by Chen Junyan, progress was initially difficult.

The head of the secret service has both brains and resources. Getting leverage over them is not easy.

After a two-month investigation, the group finally uncovered the network of spies in Kyoto.

The arrest operation was launched late at night.
