Elena gave the order to act, and all members of the Duke's Household were mobilized.
They were all marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons sent by Elena to keep an eye on Tao Sheng. Each of them managed a group of people and was specifically responsible for controlling all the actions of various forces and Tao Sheng.
Tao Sheng's actions—using his ability to transform into various characters to coerce other people's wives and children—were all exposed to their eyes.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they did not reveal Tao Sheng's plan in advance, hoping that Tao Sheng would use his gun to kill Zheng Ya and his group, and seize the Muchen Pearl, or even just the gold foil.
For them, Tao Sheng's every move was under control anyway, and if Tao Sheng succeeded, it would be equivalent to him serving them.
Why not take advantage of such a good opportunity?
Unfortunately, all of Tao Sheng's plans were thwarted by Zheng Ya, who even sent a telegram to resolve the crisis before he was finished.
This is not the outcome that the leaders of various factions wanted to see.
Elena got angry and ordered the contingency plan of Tosheng to continue.
Anyway, all the people Tao Sheng coerced were under Elena's control, so she could just go to their door and wasn't afraid they wouldn't comply.
After all, they had all the criminal secrets against the other family, and if they didn't do things for them, they would make sure the other family suffered a terrible fate.
Thus, Elena's Duke organization was in action, as were other forces that had grasped Tosh's backup plan.
It seems neither side wants to give up.
That's understandable, actually.
Who gave Old Yuan, this mysterious man, only one chance to reveal the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil, a chance to appear once every twenty years?
Who can wait another twenty years?
Obviously, no one was willing to wait another twenty years, so they naturally prepared several plans to deal with this mysterious man, Lao Yuan.
The previous plans were all ruined by Zheng Ya, the troublemaker.
At this point, only desperate, all-or-nothing plans remain, and all of them have sprung up and launched operations against their respective targets.
However, the two sides took advantage of a time difference, with various forces taking action, including the military and police.
When the military and police received calls from the former director and Brigade Commander Lei, and obtained names and intelligence leads from Zheng Ya's interrogation of Tao Sheng, they launched a swift and decisive operation.
In an instant, military and police were on duty, and chaos ensued both inside and outside the capital.
When both sides compete at the same time, it means the demons lose the initiative.
At this moment, Zheng Ya drove to the brigade headquarters gas station on the outskirts of Beijing. While talking with the soldiers, he suddenly received a 100-point deception value. He was stunned and turned around to look: "Hey, where have I seen this comrade before?"
"Comrade Zheng Ya, he is the old squad leader of our brigade's guard platoon..." The soldier refueling the jeep turned around and introduced him.
Upon hearing their conversation, Squad Leader Fu Lei smiled on his serious face, which served as a greeting.
The squad leader in charge cannot salute outsiders.
Zheng Ya's visit to the brigade headquarters to offer encouragement was a special perk granted by Brigade Commander Lei, and he had no right to interfere.
This made Fu Qingyao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, notice that her son's expression was off and asked, "Son, is there something wrong with him?"
"What, what problem? You don't mean to say that our squad leader Fu Lei has a problem, do you?"
"Squad Leader Fu Lei is an anti-Japanese war hero..." The soldier was displeased. "Who is he?"
You're the ones with the problem, aren't you? Slandering heroes who fought against the Japanese.
Zheng Ya ignored him and simply nodded, saying, "He's returning to the unit from outside..."
"Comrade Zheng Ya, you're not right to talk like that..." the cheerleader angrily retorted. Before Zheng Ya could speak, Fu Qingyao pushed open the car door and rushed forward: "Squad leader, please wait a moment?"
"You..." the cheerleader shouted angrily, but Zheng Ya silenced him with a single sentence: "True gold fears no fire; doing your job well is your duty!"
The cheering soldier had gone silent. Zheng Ya ignored his angry, gritting expression and stepped forward.
Fu Lei frowned, stopped, turned around, and said, "Hello, may I ask what brings you here?"
"You're not a soldier?" Fu Qingyao's hand rested on her holster, her eyes meeting Fu Lei's as she prepared to draw her gun. Fu Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a flicker in his eyes, "How could that be? I joined the army at fifteen to fight the Japanese. How could I not be a soldier..."
"Whether you're a soldier or not, just take off the human skin mask on your face and we'll know, won't we?" Zheng Ya thought to herself, marveling at her mother's prowess, before stepping forward and delivering a fatal blow to Fu Lei.
Fu Lei's identity was exposed in three ways.
First, Fu Lei presented Zheng Ya with a hundred points of betrayal the very first time they met, his hostility was too obvious.
Secondly, Fu Lei's training consisted of military skills, which would fit his identity as a soldier fighting the Japanese. However, the fake Fu Lei in front of us doesn't know any military skills at all; instead, he knows lock picking, poisoning, and assassination techniques.
These skills were displayed within Zheng Ya's supernatural spatial perception, revealing his identity.
Third, why was Fu Lei not in the army? Why did he return to the army only after dark, precisely at this critical moment?
After all, the crisis of the brigade's ammunition depot exploding was imminent.
Fu Lei's appearance was extremely unfortunate.
Fourth, this fake Fu Lei imitated the way soldiers walk, but he didn't capture the spirit of a soldier at all, revealing his mismatch with his identity.
Seeing that the mission had failed and could not be continued, the fake Fu Lei forced himself to say, "What are you talking about?"
Why can't I understand?
This is the brigade headquarters; we won't tolerate you slandering soldiers like this..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Making excuses won't make you grow up to look like Fu Lei."
"Do you think you can call on someone to back you up and avoid us tearing off your mask?" Zheng Ya scoffed at his ignorance.
They wanted to make a big scene so that the soldiers would protect them and save them from disaster.
That's simply unrealistic.
The cheerleader added insult to injury: "You're talking nonsense. How could Sergeant Fu Lei possibly wear a human skin mask..."
"Haha, simple, Comrade Fu Lei, don't mind me peeling off your mask..." Zheng Ya saw him trembling slightly and stepped forward, only to see a cheering soldier rush forward to stop him: "You're slandering soldiers..."
"Don't move, or I'll kill him..." The fake Fu Lei seized the opportunity to strangle the gas station attendant who was blocking his way, alarming the other gas station attendants: "My God, he's really not Sergeant Fu Lei..."
"Get out of my way! This is a gas station. If you don't want to die, don't force me to detonate the explosives on my body and let us all perish together, hahaha!" The fake Fu Lei originally came to blow up the gas station to attract the brigade soldiers to come and put out the fire, and then sneak into the armory to activate the time bomb.
This is an order from Elena's superior.
Unfortunately, he encountered Zheng Ya as soon as he arrived, recognized him, and became hostile, revealing his identity to Zheng Ya, thus ruining his mission.
Zheng Ya reached out and blocked his mother behind him, then said to the fake Fu Lei, "Why do you think this is necessary?"
Isn't living wonderful? Who would choose to die?
If you release the person, turn yourself in on the spot, expose the person behind it and do good deeds, you can go back to a normal life..."
"You're talking nonsense! You think you can get leniency for confessing? You'll rot in jail! I chose this path because I love to party! Come on, let's die together!" The fake Fu Lei immediately detonated the explosives on his body: "Sizzle!"
"Danger! Get out of here! It's going to explode..."
"Haha, none of you can escape. You'll all be buried with me..."
