Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 26 Confirming Zhao Shiyu's Identity

"Yongsu, do you know what to do next? First, confirm Zhao Shiyu's secret identity! If he's from the organization, we'll use him as a fulcrum to get back to the organization! If he's from the Communist International or the Southern JJS, we don't care for now. We'll just observe secretly and avoid conflict!"

"But my intuition tells me that he is from our organization! So, Yongsu, wait for me to make arrangements today, and tomorrow we will go to Fengtian together under the pretext of inspecting the pharmacy business!"

In the evening, Chen Jiehua rearranged the house. The smell of medicine in the basement had dissipated, leaving only the smell of leaked alcohol, which had been poured out and cleaned up.

The next morning, the two of them reported their destination to the head shop owner and drove to Fengtian! (Yes, driving. With Qing Mu Qiao's status, there is no car that is not worthy of his status.)
After arriving in Fengtian, the two first went to the Fengtian main store to find the "shopkeeper" to check the accounts! Because it happened to be the day when the military police received their subsidies, military police came to the main store one after another to collect their money. The shopkeeper's assistant who was in charge of distributing the money checked the list and each one received one!

"Shopkeeper, this is Mr. Aoki Qiao, the owner of Aoki Pharmacy. Mr. Aoki is here for a routine audit. Please bring out the account book!"

"The account book is in the back. Boss, please follow me! Xiaoyu, look after the store!"

"okay!"

"Shopkeeper" Liu Junze brought Qing Muqiao and Zhou Yongsu to the secret room in the back house.

"Liu Junze, go ask Zhao Shiyu out tonight at the safe house near the South Gate. Yongsu and I will be waiting there. Tell him that someone wants to see him!"

Liu Junze couldn't stay in the back room for too long, so after making the arrangements, he went to the front shop. Chen Jiehua and Zhou Yongsu stayed in the back room for an hour, then drove to the north gate. A few kilometers after leaving the house, they hid the car in the bushes. Then they sneaked back to Fengtian City and quietly came to the safe house at the south gate. They made some arrangements and waited for Zhao Shiyu's arrival.

Chen Jiehua was about to meet the first person from the organization after returning to China. He could not hide his excitement and walked around the room!

Finally, Chen Jiehua had spun 13 times, and Zhou Yongsu was almost dizzy when the agreed-upon knock on the door sounded: three short and two long! It was Liu Junze!
Zhou Yongsu opened the door, and Liu Junze entered first. Zhao Shiyu, who was behind him, saw that it was Zhou Yongsu, whom he had known in the Japanese Army Academy, so he relaxed his guard and followed him in. However, when he saw Aoki Qingxuan, he immediately turned around and ran!
Unfortunately, Chen Jiehua was faster than him! He had already predicted Zhao Shiyu's prediction! He was faster than Zhao Shiyu, rushed over and grabbed Zhao Shiyu and pulled him inside, then closed the door and turned back to hold down the struggling Zhao Shiyu!
"Old Liu! You're so dishonest! You actually betrayed me!"

Chen Jiehua laughed sinisterly as he pinned Zhao Shiyu down on a chair, tied him up with ropes, and dragged him directly into the underground secret room, pushing him against the wall!

Liu Junze was confused by Chen Jiehua's actions. What kind of trick was this?
But Zhou Yongsu closed the basement door and told Liu Junze to stay upstairs, telling him to ignore whatever was going on downstairs and just listen! He had to trust Qingmu Qingxuan!

Then Zhou Yongsu went out, closed the door, and walked to the entrance of the alley to watch.

Chen Jiehua took out a scalpel from the system and gestured twice in front of Zhao Shiyu!

"Zhao Shiyu! Now that you're in my hands, tell me any last words you have. If possible, I can make an exception and have Liu Junze pass them on for you! You were the one who danced the most happily at that graduation ceremony!" (Japanese)

"Fuck you Liu Junze! I'm blind! Kill me or chop me up as you please!"

After Zhao Shiyu finished speaking, he turned his head away and closed his eyes, not looking at Qingmu Qingxuan opposite him.

Chen Jiehua's wicked humor returned, continuing his performance. "Mr. Zhao, a man of insight is a true hero! Look, we're all classmates from Lu Shi. Follow me, and you'll have everything you need for a good meal! And you won't have to suffer any physical pain!" (Chinese)

"Bah! Qing Mu Qing Xuan! You little devil! Don't talk nonsense, it's my bad luck to fall into your hands! Just do it!"

"Mr. Zhao, I heard from Mr. Liu that you often use words like nationality and revolution to test him?" (Chinese) Hearing this, Zhao Shiyu became a little nervous! So this is where the problem lies! Damn, I was careless! It turns out that most of the graduates of the Army Academy have been corrupted by Japanese militarism!
"Come on, Mr. Zhao, tell me the truth. Which side are you on? I'll consider giving you a quick death!"

Chen Jiehua gestured with a scalpel while speaking!

What kind of weapon is this! I've never seen it before! It looks quite brutal! What bad luck! I died before the revolution was even accomplished! Looks like today's level is going to be tough!

Zhao Shiyu closed his eyes, neither looking nor speaking.

"How about I call Liu Junze in to talk to you? Don't you often talk about revolution with him? Which side are you on? A revolution must have a stance and an organization!"

"Are you a revolutionary from the South? Or are you from the Communist International?"

"Or, are you a communist!?"

Chen Jiehua said as he opened Zhao Shiyu's shirt, emphasizing the last three words! Zhao Shiyu's heart beat rhythmically with these three words!

Throbbing, throbbing, throbbing!

It's confirmed! It's one of us!

"Zhao Shiyu! Hehe, you can't hide it anymore! When I just mentioned the word 'Communist Party', your heart beat really fast! You are a Communist, right?"

"Tell me! Is that right?" Chen Jiehua yelled! Zhao Shiyu held back his words!

Zhao Shiyu seemed to be in a bad mood, and seemed to be thinking of dying a heroic death. He kept glancing at the scalpel, probably calculating the distance!
Damn, forget it, that's it, the test is almost over! He is a firm comrade!

Chen Jiehua quickly put the scalpel into the system and shouted outside, "Old Liu, go find Yongsu."

After a while, Zhou Yongsu and Liu Junze closed the outer door, propped it up with a table, went into the basement, and carefully closed the door again.

Zhao Shiyu's mind raced with questions. What was going on? Where was his weapon? The atmosphere seemed off.
Seeing the two men enter and close the door, Chen Jiehua stepped forward to untie the ropes that bound Zhao Shiyu, took a step back, and saluted! (Dear readers, I haven't found out whether our party had this salute ritual at that time, so I'm writing this for now. If there is definite documentary evidence proving that this salute ritual didn't exist at that time, please leave a message so I can change it. Thank you!)

"Comrade Zhao Shiyu! Chen Jiehua, a member of the Chinese Communist Party who has lost contact with the organization! Codename Hongluan! Now applying to rejoin the team!"

Chen Jiehua remained in this position without moving, while Zhou Yongsu behind him was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes! Liu Junze, on the other hand, was completely bewildered!
Zhao Shiyu on the opposite side was also petrified!

Is this painting style wrong? Is it because the scene changes too quickly? Or is it because happiness comes too suddenly?
The frozen image lasted for at least 12 seconds before Zhao Shiyu slowly reacted. "How about you say it again?"

　Back home! Officially back to the team!
　　It’s very fitting! I just finished writing the draft and it’s time to return to the team. The book contract is also a “return to the team”!
