All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

At the time, Saburo Inoue thought that the patriarch Zhang Xiaopeng was talking about was an ancestor who had long since passed away.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in front of me, who looked to be in his early forties, was the patriarch that the chieftain had mentioned!

Saburo Inoue's first reaction was that his identity had been exposed, that this was a trap set by the enemy, and he almost immediately wanted to run away.

But he was quickly shocked and knelt down in submission!

Seeing that the other party wanted to run away, Bai Jiaxuan sat there motionless with a cold face, and with a casual wave of his hand, Inoue Saburo seemed to be bound by an invisible true energy.

With a casual pull, the other person's entire body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, pulled back, and slid to his front.

Inoue Saburo was shocked. What kind of divine skill was this? After the shock, he subconsciously knelt down at Bai Jiaxuan's feet.

Bai Jiaxuan waved his hand, said no more nonsense, and directly ordered the other party to start investigating Zhang Xiaopeng's whereabouts.

Saburo Inoue nodded quickly and said nothing more.

The shock of what had just happened still left the top-notch secret agent's mind reeling.

Indeed, when an ordinary person witnesses such a power beyond human comprehension for the first time, their established worldview will be instantly shattered.

Bai Jiaxuan was actually quite helpless. After so many years of research, although he had cultivated a kind of true qi within his body, he was still far from being extraordinary.

It was even vastly different from the sword-flying techniques he possessed in the mythical world. His true energy could only be released to bind a few ordinary people, which was already the limit.

Compared to ordinary people, he is already a superman, able to dodge bullets at will and even kill people at close range with his sword, but that is far from enough.

The only thing that makes him feel comforted is that his metabolism is much slower than that of ordinary people, which explains why he is already in his fifties but still looks like he is in his early forties.

In fact, when he was twenty, he looked about forty years old; he looked older than he was, there was nothing he could do about it.

Unfortunately, after studying in this world for two or three decades, he was still only at the beginner stage, which initially caused him a lot of distress!

After so many years of exploration and research, Bai Jiaxuan had a vague guess: perhaps the direction of his research was not wrong, but the world was wrong.

This world is not a supernatural world, but just an ordinary world, so naturally one cannot cultivate extraordinary power.

Just like if the soil is bad, no matter how much fertilizer or water you apply, the plant will not grow big or bear fruit!

Bai Jiaxuan also went with the flow, witnessing historical changes and enjoying the affections of his children, which was quite good!

After giving instructions to Inoue Saburo, Bai Jiaxuan immediately settled into the mansion. He wasn't in a hurry to rescue Zhang Xiaopeng and spent his days wandering around aimlessly, feeling neither sorrow nor joy.

After Zhang Xiaopeng was arrested, the Shadow Organization did not collapse due to the chaos. The traitor did not possess many secrets; they were mainly peripheral organizations and members.

After Bai Jiaxuan entered Shanghai, someone was specifically assigned to contact him.

The Shanghai of today is no longer the Shanghai of more than 20 years ago.

Back then, the Western powers acted recklessly, and the little Japanese were just a junior, being taught a lesson by the major powers until they didn't even dare to breathe.

However, in Shanghai today, the Japanese are rising strongly, and their ambitions are becoming increasingly apparent.

According to historical trajectory, in three years, the Japanese will launch a full-scale war in the South Pacific, invade Southeast Asia, and reach the peak of their ambition.

Bai Jiaxuan sighed helplessly. His personal strength was ultimately limited. Even if he could kill a hundred or a thousand Japanese devils, so what?

Chen Zhen once inspired a generation, but if the country is not strong, shame will always follow!

But having come all the way to Shanghai, Bai Jiaxuan had no intention of leaving empty-handed. After all, his hands were already stained with the blood of the Japanese, so what did it matter if he had a little more?

He believed that the opportunity would come soon.

In the following days, the situation in Shanghai changed dramatically. With the arrest of Zhang Xiaopeng and other high-ranking officials, the entire Shadow branch in Shanghai was on edge. Since the high-ranking officials were arrested, sooner or later someone would not be able to endure the torture and would choose to confess.

Countless people were secretly taken away, and some who resisted were killed by the Japanese. Many businesses were seized by the Japanese, and the entire outer forces of the Shanghai branch were almost completely wiped out.

However, Zhang Xiaopeng has clearly not surrendered yet. The real secrets within the Shadow organization, including its wealth, special agents, and the list of high-ranking officials in each provincial branch, are all hidden in Zhang Xiaopeng's mind. As long as he doesn't confess, the Shadow organization will only suffer minor damage.

However, the Japanese torture was too much for most people to endure, and Bai Jiaxuan wasn't sure if Zhang Xiaopeng could withstand it.

The Japanese now wield far greater influence in Shanghai than they did twenty years ago, when they could simply hide their captured people in some obscure corner and be impossible to find without inside connections.

Clearly, the other side knew that their opponent was no ordinary foe, and the level of security this time was beyond imagination.

Besides the investigation within the Shadow organization, Saburo Inoue is also secretly investigating using his connections, hoping to find out where Zhang Xiaopeng is being held as soon as possible.

Bai Jiaxuan had also visited several military bases in the past few days, but to no avail.

The Japanese military base is now almost guarded every ten steps, the machine guns are polished to a shine, and the cannons have almost no blind spots when firing. Most importantly, almost no information about Zhang Xiaopeng and his group has been leaked.

Bai Jiaxuan even captured an army colonel, who, despite his status, had absolutely no idea where Zhang Xiaopeng and the others were being held.

I learned from the other party that the operation against the Shadow Organization was entirely handled by the Special Higher Police, and all the personnel involved were transferred to Shanghai from Japan two months ago.

After a week of investigation, no clues were found, and the matter reached a stalemate.

This feeling made Bai Jiaxuan very unhappy. The longer it dragged on, the lower Zhang Xiaopeng's chances of survival became, and the more dangerous it was for the Shadow Organization.

If Zhang Xiaopeng really surrenders, then the secrets of Bailuyuan will be exposed in the future, and the Japanese will reveal the secrets.

Then, naturally, many forces will try to take over Bailu Plain. I only have two hands, and I can't protect so many people.

As long as Zhang Xiaopeng doesn't surrender, Bai Jiaxuan will definitely try to find a way to rescue him.

Since they couldn't find the person, Bai Jiaxuan had to come up with a way to force the Japanese to hand over Zhang Xiaopeng!

That day, Bai Jiaxuan was reading the newspaper in his room when a news item on the front page caught his eye.

The news above says that in order to celebrate the great success of the Japanese Empire in Shanghai, the Japanese will send two members of the royal family, Prince Deyu and General Kondo, to China to participate in the New Year celebrations in Shanghai!

The front-page headline of this news article clearly introduced the personal information of the Prince of Morality and General Kondo. These two are definitely members of the aggression faction, holding high positions of power, and they actually came to Shanghai this time.

Upon seeing this news, a bold idea suddenly popped into Bai Jiaxuan's mind: what would the Japanese do if he kidnapped these two and forced them to hand them over?

Is there even a choice?

No matter how awesome Zhang Xiaopeng is, he can't compare to the status of those two.

Is it possible to do it?

Once that thought took hold, there was no stopping it!

He must be dealt with!

Bai Jiaxuan has never been a pushover. More than 20 years ago, he dared to break into the enemy's army branch at night. So what if he is now? Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, what does it matter?

This time, the Japanese devils really angered him. Originally, he just wanted to save one person, kill a few Japanese devils as a sacrifice to the heavens, and then return to Bailu Plain to live his own quiet life.

I've been in Shanghai for over a week now, and they're being so disrespectful. I guess I'll have to give them a real beating!

If you're going to have fun, go for something exciting!

It's just a small stunt, nothing to brag about.

Bai Jiaxuan carefully checked the date. This was a news report from yesterday. Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still five days until the New Year. The other party should stay in Shanghai for a few more days. Let's find out the situation first!

With a plan in mind, the rest is easy!

Since the other party is going to hold a celebration, they will definitely hold a banquet. Now that we have a place, things will be much easier!

Given Inoue Saburo's status, there was no need for him to investigate further; he quickly received an invitation to the banquet.

The New Year celebration will be held at the Far East Hotel, owned by a Japanese businessman, and the banquet will begin at 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

The banquet was large in scale and extremely grand. It invited not only ambassadors from various countries, but also some powerful and influential figures in Shanghai, as well as some pro-Japanese individuals.

Bai Jiaxuan's original disguise was that of a pro-Japanese person, but his identity was not high enough to attend the banquet.

That was easy. The Shadow Organization quickly sent him new identification, this time with a much higher status, making him a high-ranking official in a puppet government.

As for the photos and personal information above, they have all been changed.

Looking at his identification, Bai Jiaxuan couldn't help but sigh once again. The Shadow Organization was well hidden. Even after being hit so hard, they could still fish in troubled waters. This showed that the Shadow Organization definitely had high-level spies within the puppet government.

In reality, the Shadow Organization has been operating in Shanghai for over twenty years. The Shadow Organization's nominal headquarters is Wuzhishan.

Although Shanghai is not the headquarters, it is more powerful than the headquarters, and its influence is far greater than it appears on the surface.

Although Zhang Xiaopeng has been arrested, the shadowy organization is still operating normally. Bai Jiaxuan's swaggering entry into Shanghai speaks volumes.

In reality, Bai Jiaxuan's contact with the Shadow Organization was limited to some high-ranking members of Zhang Xiaopeng's organization, as well as some internal personnel and relationships. He was not clear about them, nor did he want to, as it would be too tiring.

After changing his identity, Bai Jiaxuan received an invitation the very next day.

Bai Jiaxuan could have used Inoue Saburo's connections to get the invitation, but it's best to keep Inoue's identity hidden for now, so as not to be traced back to him later.

Inoue Saburo has been infiltrating Japan for nearly twenty years. It's such a pity that he's giving up his identity now. Perhaps this identity will be of great use in the future.

Although Bai Jiaxuan can live freely in this world, he has a large family behind him, and in the future, he will inevitably need the help of external forces. The chaotic world will end in about ten years, and it is time to think about the future!

Once you have the invitation, the rest is simple.

Bai Jiaxuan found the person in charge of the Shadow organization and directly asked him to find a group of suicide squad members to prepare for the deployment.

This time he's going to pull off something big, something that will shock the whole world.

He plans to announce the kidnapping of everyone at the Japanese banquet, forcing the Japanese to release them!

At the same time, he also wanted to go on a killing spree and let the Japanese devils witness the true god of slaughter descend upon the world!

However, no matter how capable one person is, they can't handle this alone. This time, we need external help to ensure that we can withstand several external attacks!

Everything was ready, and the day of the event finally arrived.

On the day of the event, in the morning, Prince Deyu and General Endo watched the Japanese army, navy, and air force parade and delivered speeches.

The banquet would begin in the evening.

During the day, Bai Jiaxuan definitely wouldn't make a move. Even if he were incredibly skilled, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed after killing the other party.

Moreover, his goal was not to kill the other party, but to force them to release the person.

To prevent any accidents during the event, the Japanese implemented a state of emergency, closing many streets. The lockdown was gradually lifted after the event ended.

Even so, martial law had been in effect at the Far East Hotel two days prior, with two nearby streets blocked off and guards stationed every three steps and every ten steps, reaching the highest level of security.

Even with such strict security measures, Bai Jiaxuan still knew that dozens of members of the Shadow Organization had infiltrated the operation, waiting only for Bai Jiaxuan's order to begin!

At exactly six o'clock in the evening, Bai Jiaxuan straightened his mandarin jacket, picked up his walking stick, coughed, and stood up. Bai Xiaowu behind him quickly followed suit.

Bai Xiaowu was wearing a brand new white suit, and his hair had been recut and styled with hair wax. His entire demeanor was no longer what it used to be; he now sported the look of a refined scoundrel.

Bai Xiaowu's identity is Bai Jiaxuan's secretary, so he is naturally not used to this kind of attire. He was a little awkward and his expression was a bit awkward. After being glared at by Bai Jiaxuan, he quickly stood up straight.

As for Heiwa, his fierce temperament was so outstanding that there was no other way but to arrange for him to join the suicide squad and infiltrate it.

After everything was ready, Bai Jiaxuan stroked his neatly trimmed beard, picked up his walking stick, and walked out of the mansion with an arrogant expression!
