The two people came to a fork in the road and stopped. The woman walked towards the downtown area reluctantly.
When the man saw the woman walking away, he immediately turned around and walked in another direction.
He came to a narrow and quiet alley, walking lightly on the cobblestone road.
Deep in the alley, there was a door that looked particularly old, as if it bore the vicissitudes of time. He stopped, turned around, and looked around cautiously. After making sure he hadn't attracted anyone's attention, he gently knocked on the dilapidated door.
A crisp knock echoed in the silent alley, followed by a slight movement from within. After a moment, the door slowly opened, and a faint light shone through the crack. The man walked into the house without hesitation, his movements bold and resolute.
Under the dim light, the bald man sitting in front of the table was sitting there motionless like a sculpture.
His figure was stretched out by the dim light, as if it was about to merge into the darkness.
This man with a head as smooth as a lightbulb is called Liu Yi, and he is already fifty years old. However, his identity hides a dark secret.
After the Japanese were defeated, they left behind a group of lurkers when they fled this land. He was one of them and received strict training and task arrangements. He went deep into Chinese society, integrated into the ordinary people, and quietly collected key information about China.
The subordinates he developed have spread across various industries and collected a lot of intelligence to provide support for the island country's future strategy.
He knew very well that in this environment full of dangers and challenges, if he was not careful he could fall into an abyss from which there was no escape and die at any time.
But he did not retreat. His heart was burning with determination for his mission and hatred for China, which made him throw himself into this war without gunpowder without hesitation.
However, Liu Yi believed that after careful planning, he could rest easy and be foolproof, and even felt that his plan was flawless. Little did he know that the "nail" he had carefully planted within our ranks had long been discovered and was being closely monitored.
When Liu Yi saw the person coming, he frowned and nodded slightly.
Without waiting for Liu Yi to speak, the man pulled out a chair in front of the table and sat down, crossing his legs without any scruples and looking at Liu Yi opposite him.
Liu Yi pushed the cigarettes on the table forward, and the cigarette box was in front of the man. The man took the cigarette box on the table without hesitation, took out a cigarette from it, and put it between his ears. Then, he took out another cigarette from it, lit it, and took a big puff.
Liu Yi was very unhappy to see him like this and frowned.
He spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "Mountain Eagle, how is the progress between you and Zeng Weiwei?" His words seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with an irresistible power.
Shanying acted nonchalant and said, "It went smoothly. Her father agreed to our marriage and we can live in his house."
Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good looks are still the advantage. You are indeed a seasoned lover."
Shanying smiled proudly: "No, I learned this from you."
Liu Yi sighed and said, "I'm old, and my physical strength is not as good as before."
Shanying said with a forced smile, "How could it be possible? You're still as skilled as ever, and you're better than us young people. Look how bewildered you are to Sister Hua. As soon as we got to the dance hall, she ignored everyone else and just clung to you. You still say it's not possible? No one would believe you."
Liu Yi, after hearing his words, smiled incomprehensibly and changed the subject: "Let me be frank, Zeng Weiwei and Sister Hua are not on the same level. You can't get serious with her, otherwise, I will turn my back on you."
Shanying said nonchalantly, "I know that."
Liu Yi reminded him, "I don't care how you behave, I only care about how well you complete your mission."
"Don't worry about that."
"There's news from above, take a look at this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yi handed a piece of paper to him. Shanying stretched out his right hand to take the paper, brought it close to his eyes, and when he saw the contents written on the paper clearly, a strange emotion surged in his heart.
His eyes grew serious, and his brows furrowed slightly. After a moment's silence, Shanying placed the note in his hand on the kerosene lamp beside him.
The flames instantly shot up, lighting up the entire room. Shanying watched quietly as the note burned in the fire until it turned to ashes.
Finally, he carefully placed the burnt-to-ash note into the ashtray. After doing all this, Shanying took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Liu Yi...
"Those idiots up there are urging us to steal the detailed information from the base as quickly as possible. If possible, we should completely destroy their experiment and absolutely not let them succeed."
"If they succeed, our island nation will be doomed! By then, it won't just be us agents who will be in trouble. I'm afraid the entire country will become unstable and even face catastrophic disaster!"
Shanying said, "Don't worry, as long as I can successfully move into her house, I will definitely find a way to sneak into that base." He said confidently.
However, while the two men were talking, they did not realize that there was a dark shadow outside the house quietly watching them.
The shadowy figure not only focused its attention on them, but also paid special attention to the house number hanging above the door. It was as if the house number had a special meaning to the shadowy figure...
