All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

"This half-ear is a warning to you. My patience has its limits. I'll give you two more hours. If you still haven't released him by then, I'll make sure your prince's head is in your hands!"

After Bai Jiaxuan finished speaking, he lifted his hand behind his back and turned to walk into the door.

He strode into the hotel and knelt before the middle-aged man, trying to say something several times, but ultimately remained silent. He tightly gripped the man's half-ear, his eyes filled with fear and complex emotions, watching the man's figure disappear through the door.

The soldiers in the encirclement looked at each other, none of them daring to fire again. At this moment, the reporters outside the encirclement also came to their senses. Apart from some colleagues who had fainted from fright, the other reporters took out their cameras and snapped pictures of the headless corpse. Some reporters even found a good angle to capture the terrified and bewildered expressions on the faces of the soldiers holding the gun.

The middle-aged man, who had been kneeling on the ground, stumbled to his feet after the hotel doors closed again. He clutched his ear, which was spotless, and walked into the crowd with a grim face.

A group of officers quickly escorted him into the command room.

At this moment, a heavy atmosphere filled the command room. The severed ear lay quietly on the table, and everyone stared blankly at it.

The area outside was in an uproar. The scene that had just unfolded was so shocking that everyone was discussing it frantically.

In the command room, all the officers were silent, and several Westerners kept making the sign of the cross on their chests, but no one spoke.

After a long while, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and shouted at an officer beside him.

"Contact the Doihara Organization! Our military must put pressure on them to release the Shadow Organization members as soon as possible!"

The officer agreed.

"Hi!'

Meanwhile, in a basement in Shanghai, in a row of dark dungeons, a single light illuminates the entire basement. The basement is filled with all kinds of torture instruments, and dark bloodstains cover the entire room.

This is an interrogation room secretly built by Japanese spies, a dungeon specifically for members of the Shadow Organization.

In the interrogation room, a disheveled, one-armed man with pierced shoulders was hanging from two wooden pillars, his head drooping as if he had lost consciousness.

Beside him stood a man and a woman, both dressed in Japanese military uniforms, with the woman standing respectfully behind the man.

The man was in his early fifties, with a square face and a neatly trimmed mustache. He stared at the man hanging on the wooden post with a sullen expression. After a long while, he slowly uttered a few words.

"Release them all!"

Upon hearing these words, the woman behind him immediately looked up and said in disbelief.

"Chief of staff, are we really going to release them all?"

Tu Feiyuan's gloomy face looked as if it were about to drip water. He did not answer the woman's question, but slowly exhaled and said in a cold and sinister tone.

"It turns out I misjudged him too. The true secret of the Shadow Organization isn't this man in front of me, but Chen Zhen!"

When the woman heard the name Chen Zhen, the image of the person from the intelligence report came to mind.

She still couldn't believe that the man dared to kidnap Prince Deyu, and according to the intelligence that had just been sent back, the man also possessed a mysterious power that they had never encountered before.

Upon hearing Tu Feiyuan's words, the man hanging from the wooden pillar slowly raised his head. Blood had already soaked his eyes. He opened his somewhat blurry eyes and looked at Tu Feiyuan's face. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips, and his somewhat hoarse throat finally uttered a few words.

"Little Japanese devils, now you can enjoy the fear of being dominated by our ancestor! Hahahaha!"

Chapter 65: In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through!

Bai Jiaxuan sat in the center of the stage, crossed his legs, and quietly looked at the guests below the stage. His eyes were empty and devoid of emotion.

At this moment, Bai Jiaxuan's thoughts had already wandered far away. The execution of ten Japanese soldiers was just the beginning.

Bai Jiaxuan is now pondering what will happen to Zhang Xiaopeng and the other shadow members after this incident.

It's already 2038, and the Japanese have only a few more years of their madness left. Then comes the civil war, and the real domestic chaos will only last for about ten years.

After this incident, the Shadow Organization is destined to become the target of public criticism, and it would be a pity if the Shadow Organization were to disband on the spot.

The Shadow Organization has been entrenched for over twenty years and now has more than ten thousand members. It's too deeply involved, and it's impossible to make this organization disappear in a short time.

If Zhang Xiaopeng hadn't been arrested, Bai Jiaxuan's original plan was to begin transferring Zhang Xiaopeng and the others four or five years later.

All core members relocated to Hong Kong, the United States, and other countries, where they established secret societies, built their own territories based on their love of peace, and then lived a peaceful life.

But now this plan has obviously fallen through and must be changed.

After this incident, the Shadow Organization had to go underground, and its main members had to leave.

Bai Jiaxuan could foresee that after this incident, various countries' forces would flock to the scene, and once the shadow organization emerged, it would be uncovered one by one, and in the end, all the clues would point to Chen Zhen's identity.

Bai Jiaxuan is very strong in combat, but in the end, his personal strength is no match for that of a nation.

Even if he truly cultivated his true qi to the point of invulnerability, let alone his current half-baked skill, his personal abilities would still be limited. Bai Jiaxuan already had a plan in mind: only by keeping Chen Zhen's identity a mystery could he deter all forces.

He had to demonstrate an ability to instill fear in everyone in this matter, whether it was a feigned show of force or genuine intimidation; in short, he wanted everyone to know that he, Chen Zhen, was mysterious and unpredictable.

Therefore, after this incident, he will have to disappear from everyone's sight once again.

Only by remaining hidden can one maintain mystery. Once their true identity is revealed, they'll simply mow them down with machine guns. Perhaps after this, Chen Zhen will never use this identity again.

Bai Jiaxuan's thoughts were racing, and he had a headache. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.

Just then, a member of the Shadow Clan rushed down from the second floor, ran to Bai Jiaxuan's side, and whispered in his ear, "Sir, the leader and the others have been released and have been moved to a safe place!"

Upon hearing the news of Zhang Xiaopeng's release, Bai Jiaxuan showed no excitement whatsoever, but calmly nodded in response.

"I understand. It's getting late. Let the brothers take turns eating and resting first!"

The shadow members obeyed the order and soon, apart from the defenders, the other shadow members, in groups of three to five, began to pick up food and go to a corner to eat.

It was already past 10 p.m., more than three hours after Bai Jiaxuan's kidnapping.

After three hours, we finally achieved the initial goal.

Bai Jiaxuan was not at all surprised that the Japanese took three hours to decide to release the people.

Perhaps even the young Japanese man couldn't believe at first that the person inside would actually dare to kill someone in front of everyone, and with such unbelievable methods.

Just after Bai Jiaxuan received news of Zhang Xiaopeng and the others' release, he heard someone shouting from outside the hotel. He immediately recognized the voice as that of a Japanese man using a megaphone.

"Mr. Chen, we have released all the Shadow Organization members as you instructed. Please keep your promise and release the hostages!"

The voices outside kept calling out, as if reminding Bai Jiaxuan to keep his promise.

Bai Jiaxuan grew tired of listening, jumped off the stage, and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.

The Shadow members who were still eating put down their food and began to draw their guns as a warning. The guests, whether sitting or standing, had already heard the shouts outside the door, and their faces showed expectant looks.

They also hoped that Bai Jiaxuan would keep his promise and release them immediately.

Everyone saw Bai Jiaxuan slowly walk to the door, and then the long dining table was lifted out, and Bai Jiaxuan strode out of the hotel.

Outside the hotel, the crowds were still huge, even though it was past 10 p.m., more and more people were coming to see what was going on.

Rumors quickly spread throughout Shanghai.

The name Chen Zhen has once again awakened the memories of many middle-aged and elderly people. The naive and passionate young man of yesteryear is now a middle-aged person carrying heavy burdens. When they hear the name that once made their blood boil again, a certain emotion in their hearts is ignited once more.

Despite the fact that the Japanese had set up roadblocks and checkpoints at several intersections hundreds of meters away, it still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the people.

The kidnapping of hundreds of prominent figures in Shanghai by Chen Zhen was news they had never heard of in their lives.

Various rumors spread like wildfire, with increasingly outlandish versions. Some even claimed that Chen Zhen killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers in front of thousands of them and used the head of a Japanese prince as a football.

Rumors are spreading wildly, and people's hearts are becoming increasingly uneasy.

At this moment, hundreds of miles away in Jiangcheng, in a row of villas halfway up a mountain, the lights were on. In one office, a bald man was carefully looking at the documents in his hand. The documents were faxed documents that had just been sent from Shanghai.

The above contains information about Chen Zhen and the Shadow Organization.

The Republic of China government was actually quite familiar with Chen Zhen and the Shadow Organization. In the early years of the Republic of China, Chen Zhen had collaborated with them using that mysterious powder.

Later, the two sides fell out because the Republic of China set a trap for the Shadow Organization.

Later, the two sides rarely cooperated.

As the situation in the Republic of China became increasingly chaotic, and given the Shadow Organization's mystique, the Republic of China actually knew less about Chen Zhen and his Shadow Organization than about the up-and-coming Little Japanese.

Although it was all old news and materials, the bald man still read it with great interest and seriousness.

There was no other way. Just over two hours ago, the bald man was woken up by his secretary and received some shocking news!

A man named Chen Zhen, leading an organization called Shadow, used only a few dozen people to take control of the Japanese Far East Hotel, attack and kidnap more than 400 people, including the Japanese prince.

A quick glance at the list of kidnapped guests revealed that the bald man had heard of almost every name, and some he was even quite familiar with.

This kidnapping incident was a major scandal, and Baldy was shocked!

He was shocked by Chen Zhen's audacity, and even more shocked by the powerful capabilities of Chen Zhen and the Shadow Organization.

Baldy had heard of the name Chen Zhen before, after all, he had lived in Shanghai for a period of time.

However, Chen Zhen became famous too early and retired too quickly. The bald man was completely unfamiliar with the name, and he knew almost nothing about the mysterious organization behind that shadow.

With a single order, he commanded his intelligence agencies to gather information on Chen Zhen and the Shadow Organization in the shortest possible time. Although the information was mostly superficial and consisted mostly of old news, the bald man studied it with great care. His entire secretariat sprang into action, and military commanders from Jiangcheng also rushed to his villa.

Shanghai had just been occupied by the Japanese, and just two months earlier, Nanjing had suffered a brutal massacre at the hands of the Japanese, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians slaughtered, and the Republic of China suffering repeated defeats.

At this critical moment, such a shocking kidnapping case occurred in Shanghai.

This news was naturally of great concern to the bald man.

Not only the bald man, but all the major forces around the world at this moment have received the message from Shanghai, whether urgently or slowly.

Countless intelligence agencies are frantically collecting information on Chen Zhen and the Shadow Organization. In the underground intelligence market of Shanghai, every piece of information about Chen Zhen is now worth an astronomical price, but even so, major forces are still buying it like crazy.

If people didn't fully understand Chen Zhen before, the extraordinary power he displayed just over an hour ago drove all the factions into a frenzy.

That was almost the first time in human history that we had witnessed extraordinary power firsthand.

In this era, the number of people who believe in theology far exceeds the number who believe in science.

However, believing in theology does not mean that people have witnessed forces beyond their knowledge.

Just now, that inhuman, mysterious power appeared before everyone for the first time, witnessed by thousands of onlookers.

Real and tangible, this unknown power has driven all forces into madness.

The bodies of the ten decapitated Japanese soldiers have been transported to a research base in Shanghai under heavy guard by the Japanese, where countless researchers have begun to dissect and analyze them.

Even some experts at research institutes as far away as Northeast China received orders to immediately travel to Shanghai.

The Japanese are even more fanatical, even fanatical, about studying humanity than Westerners; otherwise, they wouldn't have established Unit 731. The Westerners are currently pressuring the Japanese to participate in the research, but the Japanese have explicitly refused.

The film taken by the reporters who were just there has been quickly sent back to the news agency for developing, and the process is in full swing. Telegrams are being sent to distant places via fax.

When the hotel doors opened again, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Bai Jiaxuan slowly walked forward under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The one shouting from the doorway was still the same Japanese major general who had shouted before. He took a few steps forward with a megaphone, but stopped instinctively when he was about five meters away from Bai Jiaxuan.
