All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Bai Xiaolong and his granddaughter rushed forward to help him up. Fa Zai and his granddaughter were still in shock and seemed to have been frightened into a daze!

At this moment, the guests who had been running around in the square were also at a loss. Everything that had just happened came quickly and went even faster, as if it were a dream.

What happened in the end?

At the exit of Bai Family Manor, a convoy of cars was speeding out of the manor.

The passengers in that motorcade were important guests at the birthday celebration.

In the front row of the van, an excited shout suddenly came from the driver's radio.

"The old man is back! The old man is back! All the enemies have been eliminated! All the enemies have been eliminated! The manor is safe, it's safe! All convoys, return immediately! Return immediately!"

The tense faces of the Bai family elders were suddenly startled by the voice on the radio, and the head of the Bai family hurriedly shouted to the driver.

"Turn around, quick!"

The convoy heading out of the manor also received the news. Without stopping, the convoy quickly changed direction and sped towards the square once again.

Bai Xiaolong supported Bai Xiaowen, whose mind was still filled with fear and excitement. The scene he had just witnessed was so shocking that he was unable to think straight.

Bai Xiaolong also failed to recognize that the figure in the sky just now was his great-grandfather.

Bai Jiaxuan's appearance has changed so much!

Not only did he not recognize him, but most of the Bai clan members among the guests also did not recognize that the person just now was Bai Jiaxuan, who had been away from home for more than ten years!

Bai Xiaowen, trembling, stumbled and walked towards the coast, because he had already seen that figure, that unique figure, slowly walking towards him!

Bai Xiaolong and the girl didn't know what their grandfather was looking for, but they still helped the old man walk forward.

Seeing the group leave, Fa-zai jogged after them, looking bewildered.

The actress named Xinqi was pale and her face was full of surprise and uncertainty. When she saw everyone leaving, she quickly ran forward, grabbed Fazai's hand, and the two of them ran towards the coast.

Bai Jiaxuan was still pondering what had just happened when suddenly he sensed several figures running towards him from not far away.

The white-haired figure stumbling at the front looked somewhat familiar.

Bai Jiaxuan stood there, silent for half a second, before finally managing a helpless smile!

I never imagined that after all these years, I would be able to see my eldest son again!

With a thought, Bai Jiaxuan took a step forward, and in just one step, his entire figure was already in front of Bai Xiaowen and the others.

Upon seeing the figure that appeared in an instant, Bai Xiaowen staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He raised his head again, his eyes already filled with tears. He stared blankly at the man in front of him, his body trembling as he tried to get closer, but in the end, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground!

The two men who were helping him up tried to lift Bai Xiaowen up, but Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, signaling them to put him down!

Bai Jiaxuan's face was calm, seemingly devoid of any emotion, but the silent twitch at the corner of his mouth revealed that his state of mind was not so calm at the moment!

In this mortal world, family ties are ultimately an attachment that we can never let go of!

Although it is only natural for a son to kneel before his father, Bai Jiaxuan still did not want to see Bai Xiaowen kneel down. He stepped forward and, the instant Bai Xiaowen knelt down, placed his hands on the other's shoulders.

Bai Xiaowen felt his father's strength and finally broke down completely. His lips trembled, and he used all his strength to look up and shout.

"Father! Your son is unfilial! Waaah!! Father! Your son is unfilial! Unfilial!"

That cry of "Father" was so sincere and genuine, yet Bai Xiaolong and the others beside him were shaken. The shock that had just subsided resurfaced in their eyes.

Bai Xiaolong felt weak all over and almost knelt down!

this!

This person was actually my great-grandfather!

That man just now was my great-grandfather!

This...this is unbelievable!

Fa-zai's eyes were wide open and his lips were trembling. This was the dashing figure in the sky just now. He was actually the great-grandfather that Bai Xiaolong had mentioned. How could the other party be so young? Could he be... a god?

Bai Jiaxuan helped Bai Xiaowen up and finally let out a sigh. The mischievous boy of yesteryear is now an old man with white hair. But no matter how old he is or how white his hair is, he is still Bai Jiaxuan's son!

"Xiaowen! You are indeed unfilial. You are already this old, and only now do you think of your old father. It is truly wrong of you!"

Upon hearing Bai Jiaxuan's words, Bai Xiaowen became even more agitated, tears streaming down his face. His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word!

Bai Jiaxuan shook his head helplessly. This little guy's health isn't what it used to be. He gets so excited over such a small thing!

He stepped forward, patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder, and spoke in a friendly tone.

"Alright! Alright! Stop crying! You're acting like a woman. We've been father and son for a long time, it's fate. I'm so glad you still remember your old father! Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

Bai Xiaowen nodded frantically, then stepped forward and tightly hugged Bai Jiaxuan's arm, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear.

An old man with white hair is embracing a man with long, flowing hair; the scene looks bizarre no matter how you look at it.

However, Bai Xiaolong and his companions were excited, their bodies tense, carefully following behind, not daring to disturb the two in the slightest.

Lu Zhaoqian, who was not far away, finally ran up to Bai Jiaxuan. Although he was two years older than Bai Xiaowen, he was much healthier. He stood straight with his broad shoulders. He ran up to Bai Jiaxuan, his eyes full of excitement. He stared at Bai Jiaxuan and asked excitedly.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Heiwa called him "boss" his whole life, yet it felt incredibly warm and familiar to everyone!

Bai Jiaxuan smiled and nodded.

"You're back! Alright, I've left things here to you, you can go and get back to work!"

Lu Zhaoqian nodded excitedly. He looked at Bai Xiaowen beside him, paused for a moment, and finally remembered who this was. The name was somewhat unfamiliar in his memory, but the memories of the past were as vivid as yesterday.

"Xiaowen, how have you been?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded, then called out.

"Hey Heiwa, it's been a long time!"

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word!

Chapter 77: It's time to leave!

Chen Zhen disappeared, vanishing without a trace right before everyone's eyes.

Although they had anticipated that Chen Zhen was very likely to disappear, when Chen Zhen did indeed vanish before their eyes, everyone felt a complex mix of emotions.

After learning of Chen Zhen's disappearance, the upper echelons of the Japanese army went into a frenzy and rage.

In this attack and kidnapping, the Japanese side undoubtedly suffered the most severe losses.

Dozens of agents were killed, and more than twenty military and political figures were executed in public. Most importantly, one of their own princes had his ear cut off in public.

After Prince Deyu was released, he was completely dejected, as if he had been frightened, and his mental state was extremely poor.

Not only Prince Deyu, but also dozens of hostages, including General Endo, were in a state of mental depression after their release. Doctors initially examined them, but could find almost nothing wrong.

These hostages later recalled that they all seemed to have been patted on the back by Chen Zhen. Thinking about it carefully now, it's terrifying.

In this state, all the released hostages were in a state of mental tension.

Doctors from various countries quickly gathered in Shanghai to begin examining the hostages.

However, the examination results showed that there were no abnormalities in the body. All the doctors gave the same conclusion: it was probably due to stimulation and excessive mental stress.

The doctor's words reassured some people, but Xiao Wazi still felt that things were not so simple.

The Japanese wouldn't let Chen Zhen off so easily. Not only the Japanese, but the entire city of Shanghai was placed under martial law the day after the hostages were released.

All transportation was brought to a halt, and the most rigorous searches were launched. Soldiers entered the train station and ships, beginning a thorough search.

Their primary target was Chen Zhen, and their secondary target was the members of the Shadow Organization.

The martial law operation lasted for nearly half a month, and Chen Zhen was naturally out of contact, but it was not entirely without effect.

Under such a rigorous search, they arrested hundreds of people. Among these people were indeed members of the Shadow Organization, but most were those released from various prisons in Shanghai that day.

Among those arrested shadow members, most were low-level henchmen; almost none of the higher-ups were captured.

The massive search that lasted for half a month plunged Shanghai into utter chaos. Many of the released prison inmates had to fight desperately to survive, while various factions had to resort to violence to rescue their own people.

In an instant, gunfire erupted throughout Shanghai, blood splattered everywhere, and countless people lost their lives in the chaos.

The chaos in Shanghai lasted for a whole month before gradually subsiding.

This is unavoidable. The Japanese have only just occupied Shanghai and urgently need to protect their territory and people. However, such a huge mess has occurred, and the Japanese leadership has also had disagreements because of this.

Such chaos was caused for the sake of Chen Zhen, but in the end they didn't get a single thing. That's the real reason for their anger.

Unfortunately, what they never expected was that the real Chen Zhen was still in Shanghai.

After leaving the Far East Hotel, Bai Jiaxuan did not leave Shanghai immediately. Instead, he spent his days eating, drinking, and staying in the most luxurious hotel in Shanghai, watching the day's news and having a few drinks.

As for the hotel owner, it was none other than Boss Huang. No one would have expected that Chen Zhen would be staying on Boss Huang's territory. Naturally, Boss Huang's luxury hotel would not be subject to a large-scale search.

Inside the Far East Hotel, Bai Jiaxuan let Boss Huang off the hook, and afterwards, he went directly to him and asked him to find him a safe place.

Mr. Huang, trembling with fear, agreed and gave Bai Jiaxuan the most luxurious private room in his hotel.

Bai Jiaxuan's reason for not leaving Shanghai for the time being was naturally to see what kind of revenge Xiao Wazi and his gang would take next.

Fortunately, everything is still under control, and the Shadow Organization is much stronger than I imagined.

Although, after this incident, the various powers almost unanimously agreed on the same thing: to completely eliminate the shadow organization.

However, the spies that the Shadow Organization had planted in various countries over the years finally came in handy. Decisions made at meetings held by the other side's top leaders could reach Zhang Xiaopeng in almost half a day.

After Zhang Xiaopeng was released from prison, he immediately launched an internal operation, eliminating more than 100 people within the organization. These people were almost all middle and high-level personnel, and all members of the traitor's network.

Most of these people were probably innocent, but Zhang Xiaopeng did not hesitate and ruthlessly eliminated them, including all traces of them.

In reality, Zhang Xiaopeng didn't leave Shanghai. The Shadow Organization has been deeply rooted in this city for over twenty years, and many people and things can't be dealt with in a short time.

For the past month, Bai Jiaxuan has protected Zhang Xiaopeng, secretly resolving any counterattacks or searches launched against him by any force.

After a month, Zhang Xiaopeng finally resolved the remaining issues of the Shadow Organization, and all the important members had left Shanghai.

Now, the Shadow Organization is finally facing a difficult choice.

This decision naturally concerns the future development and direction of shadow organizations.

The Shadow Organization, despite its previous secrecy, is now being targeted by all forces and has no choice but to reappear under a new guise.

Furthermore, the old path that the Shadow Organization used to follow is almost no longer viable, and now they have to choose a new path.
