Zhou Chunping had no idea there was a secret room in the house he had lived in for decades. Most importantly, it seemed to contain a large amount of treasure.
Zhou Chunping was filled with regret. If he had known there was a secret room and so much treasure in his house, wouldn't he have taken it and fled? Now? He hadn't even seen a trace of the treasure, and was being interrogated by Old K as a criminal.
Old K was no pushover. When Zhou Chunping's family had outlived their usefulness, he showed them no mercy. If Zhou Nianxin hadn't called and asked Old K to take Zhou Chunping's family to Kyoto, the lives of Zhou Chunping's family might have been lost to Old K.
Zhou Nianxin has been like a frightened bird recently, fearing that his identity will be exposed if he is not careful.
Zhou Nianxin has a secret identity, he is a spy planted in China by a hostile force.
Zhou Nianxin was not a spy at first, but was forced to join a spy organization five years ago. The leader of the organization is Zhou Nianxin's uncle Zhou Feiyang, a diehard member of the overseas hostile forces.
Zhou Nianxin's real name was Zhou Changsheng, the eldest grandson of Zhou Fugui, a landlord in Zhoujia Village. When the movement came, Zhou Fugui's family was driven out of their house and forced to live in a cowshed.
Zhou Fugui sensed his family's predicament and, hoping to escape as many people as possible, told Zhou Changsheng about his family's secret room. He then bribed the guard with ten silver dollars, requesting a half-day delay so his family could pack some clothes.
The villagers who were guarding the house had benefits to gain, and they felt that Zhou Fugui and his family were trapped in the house and could hardly escape, so giving them half a day would not be a big deal, so they agreed.
Zhou Fugui led Zhou Changsheng to the secret room and escaped through the tunnel. Indeed, there was a tunnel in the Zhou family's secret room that led directly to the outside of the village. Wen Ziqing had pulled Old K out of that tunnel. Zhou Fugui didn't dare run away. If he did, Zhoujia Village would definitely report him, and then even Zhou Changsheng wouldn't be able to escape.
After Zhou Changsheng fled, Zhou Fugui's family was harshly treated. Within a few years, members of Zhou Fugui's family began to die one after another. Some were persecuted to death, while others committed suicide, unable to bear the drastic change in their environment.
After Zhou Changsheng escaped Zhoujia Village, he wandered for several months. Later, in Qingshan City, he happened to meet General Zhou. Zhou Changsheng was already in his teens at the time, and his months of wandering had made him quite discerning. Seeing General Zhou's impressive presence, surrounded by several high-ranking Chinese generals, he desperately wanted to cling to General Zhou's influence, so he feigned pity to gain his sympathy.
After General Zhou adopted Zhou Changsheng, Zhou Changsheng had considered hiding his identity and becoming General Zhou's true grandson. However, five years ago, Zhou Changsheng's uncle Zhou Feiyang approached him.
Zhou Feiyang is Zhou Fugui's youngest son. Before liberation, he followed the enemy army to Taiwan.
Six years ago, Zhou Feiyang secretly smuggled back to China and took charge of Taiwan’s intelligence work against China.
General Zhou is a person hated by the enemy. People around General Zhou, including Zhou Nianxin, are the targets of surveillance by Zhou Feiyang and his team.
Zhou Changsheng looks exactly like his father Zhou Feiyao. When Zhou Feiyang saw the photo of Zhou Nianxin taken by his men, he became confused. Zhou Feiyang knew that all the members of their family who stayed in China were dead. How could there be someone in the world who looked exactly like his eldest brother?
Zhou Feiyang used the resources at his disposal to collect information about Zhou Nianxin from various channels, and finally came to a conclusion: Zhou Nianxin was his nephew Zhou Changsheng who had escaped.
Zhou Feiyang approached Zhou Nianxin and threatened him to join their organization, otherwise he would reveal his true identity to General Zhou. Since becoming the Zhou family's adopted son, Zhou Nianxin has been respected by many people in Kyoto, although he can't walk around freely. Zhou Nianxin has become accustomed to living under the aura of General Zhou.
Zhou Nianxin knew that General Zhou hated evil and hated evil. If Zhou Feiyang revealed his true identity to General Zhou, General Zhou would definitely not allow the grandson of a landlord to continue living in Kyoto as the Zhou family's adopted son. This would be a major blow to Zhou Nianxin, who had always dreamed of becoming General Zhou's heir.
In desperation, Zhou Nianxin joined Zhou Feiyang's intelligence organization.
Zhou Feiyang has always harbored a deep hostility towards the top brass of Huaxia. After Zhou Nianxin joined, he frequently brainwashed him. He would recount the tragic deaths of Zhou Fugui's family, stirring up Zhou Nianxin's hatred for General Zhou. He also exaggerated his own glamorous capitalist life overseas, fostering a yearning for Zhou Nianxin.
Under Zhou Feiyang's influence, Zhou Nianxin gradually realized that if it weren't for General Zhou and his gang, he would still be the son of a landlord, living a life of servitude. Although he held a high position, he still had to do everything himself. General Zhou was always selfless and never offered Zhou Nianxin any convenience in his work. Zhou Nianxin felt that everything he had now was earned through his own hard work.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Nianxin felt that General Zhou adopted him only for his own selfish reasons, wanting to find someone to inherit the Zhou family's incense, and did not treat him as his own grandson. Otherwise, with just a word from General Zhou, he would be at the ministerial level and would not have to work hard every day to accumulate qualifications and achievements.
The hostile forces that Zhou Feiyang belonged to had always wanted to assassinate General Zhou, but they had no chance. After pulling Zhou Nianxin in, Zhou Feiyang set his sights on Zhou Nianxin.
The mixed herbal remedy used last time was based on General Zhou's daily habits, as reported by Zhou Nianxin. Zhou Feiyang had his masters spend a considerable amount of money researching it specifically to combat General Zhou. The pot of asparagus fern-like plant was also provided by Zhou Feiyang to Zhou Nianxin, who placed it in General Zhou's bedroom.
Seeing General Zhou sleepily falling into a coma every day, Zhou Nianxin and Zhou Feiyang both breathed a sigh of relief. Once General Zhou died, Zhou Feiyang could complete his mission and return overseas, no longer having to stay in China every day in fear of being arrested.
As a veteran intelligence officer, Zhou Feiyang knew he'd be abandoned if captured. He couldn't bear to die, as his wife and children were waiting for him overseas. As for Zhou Nianxin, he still dreamed of taking over General Zhou's power after his death.
After General Zhou's miraculous recovery, Zhou Nianxin was in a state of panic. Somehow, he always felt that General Zhou seemed to know what he had done. Every time he returned to the old house, Zhou Nianxin dared not look directly into General Zhou's sharp eyes.
Then, General Zhou loudly announced the return of his long-missing grandson, Zhou Zhixin. This made Zhou Nianxin even more restless. Fearing that his plot to have Zhou Chunping murder Zhou Zhixin would be exposed, Zhou Nianxin immediately called Old K and told him to stop pursuing the treasure and instead take Zhou Chunping and his family to Kyoto for custody.
