"Sir, this is a photo of the Japanese woman named Yuanzi. According to my judgment, she should be no more than thirty years old." Yan Lei quickly sent a photo to Lu Xiyan.

"Just one?"

"Yes, I only have this picture on hand, and my fifth brother should have some in hand. This picture should be the clearest one I took." Yan Lei explained.

"This woman..." Lu Xiyan didn't have many opportunities to contact Yuanzi, and he had never even spoken. He could only say that he had seen him a few times.

There are only a few times, and when I recall it now, he really feels that this person named Yuanzi is a little different.

"Sir, look at it slowly, I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go back." Lu Xiyan stared at the photo in his hand, showing a trace of contemplative expression. He did feel familiar, but he couldn't say what the feeling came from for a while.

"Xiyan, what are you looking at?" Lu Xiyan looked at the photo and thought, without paying attention, Meng Fanxing walked in from the door with the child in his arms.

"It's nothing, Yan Lei said, Fujimoto Shizuka's assistant seemed to have seen it somewhere in the past. When he said that, I felt this way, so I asked him to take a photo." Lu Xiyan put down the photo, stood up, and hugged his son from Meng Fanxing's hand, "Meimei, come, come and help me see it too?"

"Is this woman in the photo?" Meng Fanxing shook his arms, which were sore, sat down, picked up the photo and asked.

"Well..." Lu Xiyan nodded, and his mind suddenly turned to his son.

The feeling of blood connection between the biological flesh and blood is really different. This kind of emotion is wonderful and cannot be described in words.

"I have only seen this Yuanzi once. Now when I look at this photo, I do feel familiar." Meng Fanxing said.

"Do you feel this way too?" Lu Xiyan took a breath in surprise.

"Well, Xiyan, we know so many people. Even if there are similar people, they feel familiar. Are you and Yan Lei too concerned?"

"I hope I'm too concerned, too." Lu Xiyan nodded, "It's time, is it time for my son to go to bed?"

"He just woke up and should eat later..." Meng Fanxing said, "Tomorrow Yang Shuhui will ask me to go to Lanxin Theater to watch the show. Do you think I'm going or not?"

"Go, Zhou Fuhai, we still need to grasp his ideas in a timely manner. It is unrealistic to contact him directly, but Yang Shuhui is different. You can understand it indirectly through her." Lu Xiyan said.

"good."

In fact, Lu Xiyan knew very well that Zhou Fuhai had contacted Chongqing frequently, and he had already started to find a way out for himself.

Based on his understanding of Zhou, I am afraid that Zhou will eventually tend to be inclined to Chongqing and receive assistance from the United States. Chongqing will inevitably have a sharp increase in strength after the war.

...

A stream of cold air coming from Siberia came, heavy snow fell, and the whole city was soon covered in snow and covered in silver.

This cold outside is far less than the coldness in despair.

The Japanese army suffered consecutive defeats in the South Pacific and were forced to shrink its forces, and as the Allies continued to release their troops on the European battlefield, they entered.

The Japanese army had to vomit out more than how much they had eaten before.

During the Spring Festival in 1945, the people in Shanghai were still very bitter, and they were even more bitter than the previous year, but there was a smile on their faces and a hint of hope.

For a "traitor" like Xiang Lu Xiyan, although he is rich and frugal, he should be frightened and uneasy, because once the Japanese leave, they will have to settle the past accounts.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year. Lu Xiyan wanted to ease the relationship with Meng Hao, so he asked Meng Fanxing to call Meng Hao and Meng Yao and his wife to come to their house for a meal.

"Why, he doesn't want to come?"

"Well, he now believes that you are a traitor and advises me to draw a clear line with you as soon as possible so as not to be implicated by you in the future." Meng Fanxing was helpless.

"Forget it, if they don't come, we'll just eat it ourselves." Lu Xiyan sighed. Some things cannot be forced. Even if he tried hard to repair his relationship with Meng Hao, he would have no choice but to not appreciate it.

He now believes that he has changed his character and is the traitor who is determined to go to the gang with the Japanese invaders. What can he do if he can't listen to anyone's words?

"This war is about to be decided, and it will not be too late to explain it at that time."

"Um."

...

The East Asian Botanical Research Institute, no, should now be called the underground base of the "Meng'an Pharmaceutical Jiangwan Branch". A year and a half ago, this underground base for researching and producing biological weapons was actually sealed. In addition to the withdrawal of personnel and some materials, the entire research and manufacturing base was preserved intact.

In order to come back one day.

"Miss Huizi, the ventilation and drainage equipment here have always been running well. The equipment and petri dishes can be used just a little cleaned up."

"Well, thank you, Aoki Jun." Fujimoto Shizuka was wearing a thick layer of protective clothing and entered with a gas mask. After all, it had been sealed for almost two years. If you opened it again, who knows what would be inside.

"Select personnel to enter immediately to clean up and sort out everything we need. The empire is at its most dangerous time. We must create enough bacterial weapons as soon as possible so that we can defeat the enemy and defend our homeland!" Fujimoto Shizuka Oshishishi said.

"Hayi!"

...

"I didn't expect that your target was the base underground of the Botanical Research Institute?" Chiyoko Hattori was surprised. Of course, she knew that there was a base under the East Asian Botanical Research Institute. At that time, Hattori Kazuna followed Fujimoto Shizuka to Shanghai, and the person responsible for protecting the safety of this bacterial test and manufacturing base.

Now this test and manufacturing base has been restarted by Fujimoto Shizuka.

It is obvious that it is necessary to create bacterial weapons. With the power of conventional weapons, Japan can no longer fight against the Allies armed to the teeth. It is only possible to use this asymmetrical force.

"According to the intelligence department, the United States is already developing a large-scale lethal atomic weapon. Once this weapon is put into use on the battlefield, it will change the pattern and direction of the war. The empire has not yet found the entry to atomic weapons, so we can only find another way." Fujimoto Shizuka explained.

"Then why do you have to choose to be in Shanghai and cooperate with Lu Xiyan?"

"I need an umbrella." Fujimoto Shizuka said, "No one is more suitable in Shanghai than him. Although he has worked with the Empire for several years and has been recognized as a traitor by the Chinese, his hands are clean."

"What's the meaning?"

"Apart from working with us to open a pharmaceutical factory to make money, he has no excessive things in other aspects, and he doesn't even have blood debts." Fujimoto Shizuka chuckled, "Does he find it strange?"

"How did he do it?"

"He is very smart. He often walks on the wire and walks very steadily. The empire has to need someone like him. It is impartial. He can actually safely get to the present." Fujimoto Shizuka said, "But it is impossible for him to pass through this safely."

"you……"

"There are not many men that have moved me. He is the only one, and he is still there." Fujimoto Shizuka said, "Instead of not getting it, it is better to pull it together to destroy it."

"You are crazier than me." Hattori Chiyoko couldn't help but smack her tongue.

"We women were born to conquer and destroy men. Chiyoko, you have not met a man who made you crazy yet. If you meet one day, you will do this. You and me are essentially the same kind of person." Fujimoto Shizuka chuckled, and a dangerous and crazy light flashed in her eyes.

...

On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, Lu Xiyan made an appointment with Guo Hanjie and his friends. Ding Pengfei was also in Shanghai. He and Huang San are now in Zhou Fuhai’s Tax Police Corps. Ding Pengfei is the regiment commander. Huang San is a battalion commander because of his poor education. However, he is a battalion commander who is the main reinforcement battalion. He is stationed in Nanjing and has a not-low military rank, Lieutenant Colonel.

The other "Ghost" team and the old people in the past served as middle and lower-level officers in the tax police group. To be honest, Lu Xiyan has mastered almost half of the troops of Zhou Fuhai Tax Police Group, and is the most elite.

Such a force is also the basis of Lu Xiyan's toughness and confidence.

After so many years, Lu Xiyan has long regarded Ding Pengfei and others as his brothers, and so have Ding Pengfei and others. If it weren't for the seemingly impulsive decisions of Tan Si and Huang San, they wouldn't have been here today. The Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group would have been divided and gone their separate ways.

"Brother Tan, Brother Huang San is not here today, a little regretful, but it doesn't matter, we will have the opportunity to sit together and drink openly." Guo Hanjie raised his glass and said, "Come on, I suggest that we have a drink for sir!"

"good!"

"cheers."

"Sir, we all know that Japan is about to lose, but what do we do in the future? Do you have to give us an idea?" Ding Pengfei was the longest-term one among the few people besides Tan Si, that is, Guo Hanjie, who now directly masters the intelligence agency of the "God of Death" group, is worse than that.

"If the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious, what are your plans?"

"We have been working for half a lifetime and don't want to continue working anymore. If we can drive away the Japanese invaders, I will think of going back to my hometown, buying a few acres of land, asking for a wife, and having a safe life." Guo Hanjie put down his wine glass and said the first.

"No prospect." Yan Lei said directly.

"Sir, what should we do?" Ding Pengfei looked at Lu Xiyan with a solemn look.

"After so many years, my brothers are together, and I am used to it. I don't object to everyone having their own ideas. Victory, and going home to live their own lives is normal. However, some people and some things, even if we want to go back, others will not agree. Brother Ding Er, over the years, my brothers have been bleed and sacrificed with us. I will give them a future?"

"What do you mean is that we want us to formally accept Chongqing's recruitment?"

"I don't have this intention, but for the moment, we can't let go and leave, at least we can't do it." Lu Xiyan said.

"I think what the sir said makes sense. The brothers below will leave. But we are different. Even if we want to leave, we have to arrange the brothers properly." Guo Hanjie agreed.

"In Chongqing, I still don't think it's very credible, and they won't believe us. Even if we give us high officials and generous salaries, we will settle the score in the future. Then we are afraid that people will be the ones who will be the slaughter and I will be the fish." Ding Pengfei hesitated.

"It really doesn't work. Let's go abroad and go to South Asia. Isn't my fourth brother in Myanmar and Singapore? Let's go and join him?" Yan Lei slapped the table and said.

"Second brother, does Lao Liu still remember our ideals?" Guo Hanjie suddenly said, making Ding Pengfei and Yan Lei speechless.

"Actually, I'm wondering if we are too optimistic. The Japanese army will not give in easily. We cannot relax our vigilance yet. It's not time for swords and guns to enter the warehouse and horses to be released in the south mountain." Lu Xiyan said, "Win, we must win thoroughly."

"What sir said makes sense. We really can't relax our vigilance." Ding Pengfei nodded.

"Sir, I really can't remember if you don't mention it." Guo Hanjie said, "There's a strange thing. Didn't you let me quietly purchase some industries near the East Asian Botanical Research Institute? I bought a rice shop and bought it and continued to operate it. This is not the end of the year. The rice shop took stock of the grain in the warehouse at home, and found that a large amount of rice husks had been eaten up, and this was left behind by the shortage recently."

"When did it happen?"

"Just two days ago, they searched for a day, but they couldn't find any of them. Are you surprised?" Guo Hanjie said with a chubby smile.

"Lao Wu, do you also report such boring little things to the gentleman?"

"Brother Ding Er, this is not a boring little thing, Han Jie, what about those empty straw husks?" Lu Xiyan asked with a serious expression.

"Everyone is here, it's quite good anyway, so keep it for fire." Guo Hanjie smiled without caring.

"Pack it with a bag and send it to me some. Don't touch it with your body. All the remaining secrets are burned. Also, the place where the rice husks are found is strictly disinfected. Did you hear it?" Lu Xiyan said seriously. "I found that someone has a fever or vomiting, I will be isolated as soon as possible, and then notify me to make arrangements. No slightest leakage is allowed to be revealed to the outside world. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Guo Hanjie was stunned. He didn't understand that Lu Xiyan would give him such an order, and it seemed a bit of a big deal.
