Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 586 I'll kill you right now!

Sun Gaohui's inaction did not mean he hadn't been stirring things up. Although another person was hesitant, he was still forced to find some people to come over.

These people arrived at their lodgings yesterday, and the Special Branch personnel followed the people they met there and immediately surrounded the hideout.

All day long, these people stayed quietly, minimizing their outings, just waiting for the moment of mission to arrive.

When Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen arrived, these people had just received the order to be on alert and ready to be deployed at any time.

Zhou Yichen asked the monitoring personnel, "Is there any unusual activity?"

"Not yet, but the person who helped rent the yard just came over and hasn't left yet."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yichen looked at Chu Xin. The two of them simultaneously thought of the letter they had received. The fact that they were talking one after the other made it impossible not to arouse suspicion.

It seems that Sun Gaohui learned the exact information from Gao Ziyou and immediately began making arrangements.

It seems that the few remaining fish that slipped through the net have now returned to the net.

Gao Ziyou completely fooled his own father, bringing him one step closer to death.

He shouldn't have been able to get away with it because of Yu Jing, but because Grandpa Gao had cooperated with the Special Branch to arrest people in order to make amends, and Grandpa Gao himself was unaware of the situation, and even suffered health problems because of it, the higher-ups gave him a lenient treatment.

This time, however, no one can save him anymore.

Chu Xin was worried that Zhou Yichen would suddenly do another good deed, so she coldly reminded him, "Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but man's sins cannot. They've already been given a chance, but they didn't take it. You'd better clear your head and not try to be a good person again!"

Zhou Yichen felt ashamed. He wasn't truly a bodhisattva; he only contacted Old Master Gao after confirming Yu Jing's unusual identity because he couldn't bear to see him suffer a tragic end, considering Old Master Gao's long and illustrious military career.

Why would I soften my heart again now?

"You said it yourself, there's only one chance, and I'm clear about that."

Actually, he didn't think that Old Master Gao would really be ruined. He was just planning to go back to his hometown, and the Gao family wasn't completely wiped out.

The Gao family has been deeply entrenched in Ning City for many years, and the entire Special Branch action team has not yet left Ning City. How could the old man, being so shrewd and experienced, not pay any attention? I believe that as long as the Special Branch makes a big move, the old man will soon receive the news.

The final outcome depends on how quickly he manages to stop it.

Chu Xin nodded, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Otherwise, you can go play by yourself from now on. Wild grass can't be burned out and will grow back in the spring breeze. Gao Ziyou should finally shut up.

After giving some instructions, Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen prepared to leave for the guesthouse.

As soon as the two entered the guesthouse, the receptionist said, "Are you looking for that couple? That's unfortunate, they just went out."

Su Zihang is highly recognizable. His physique is so imposing that most people would be afraid of him. Even though he has a pretty face, it doesn't diminish the fear of being killed by a single punch from him.

The fact that such a person was friends with the handsome and energetic young man and woman in front of them left a deep impression on the staff at the guesthouse. So, before the two of them could speak, the staff informed them of the situation.

The two frowned simultaneously and glanced at the clock on the wall of the guesthouse; it was past ten in the morning.

If Su Zihang and Du Zhi go out at this time, they might eat out before coming back.

They can't just sit here and wait.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xin said to the staff, "Please tell that man that his friend has been looking for him when they return, and ask him to contact us."

The staff member nodded and noted it down. "Okay, if I change shifts, I will pass on the original message to my colleague. It will definitely not be a mistake, please rest assured."

Chu Xin smiled. People these days are so enthusiastic about their work. "Thank you then."

Unexpectedly, the young staff member suddenly smiled broadly and exclaimed loudly, "Be dedicated to your job, fulfill your responsibilities, and serve the people!"

The slogan was shouted so powerfully that Chu Xin didn't know how to respond for a moment. Zhou Yichen, on the other hand, stood up straight and gave a military salute, "Serve the people, thank you!"

Then he pulled Chu Xin away from the hall.

When Chu Xin turned around, she could still see the little girl's cheeks flushed with excitement, and faint black lines appeared on her forehead.

Isn't this even more invigorating than being injected with chicken blood?

"Your conversation just now..."

When Chu Xin got into the car, she was still thinking about what word to use to describe it, but after thinking for a while, she could only say, "Uh...it's like a pyramid scheme!"

She nodded seriously after she finished speaking.

Zhou Yichen paused as he started the car and turned the steering wheel. He knew all too well that if his partner said something he couldn't understand, it wasn't a good thing, so he just glanced at her and didn't say anything, focusing solely on driving.

Chu Xin found it boring and rolled her eyes. "Tch!"

Zhou Yichen remained unmoved, as steady as a rock: Stay calm, hold on!

On their way back, they made a special trip around, hoping to run into Su Zihang and Du Zhi by chance, but they returned empty-handed.

Meanwhile, the two people they had been searching for were strolling along the moat outside Zhonghua Gate.

Du Zhi was in poor health but was pregnant. She needed to rest and move around, otherwise both the mother and the baby would suffer. So she would go out for a walk at a fixed time every day.

Su Zihang served in the army in his early years and saw a lot of the beautiful landscapes of his motherland. Later, he worked at sea and visited many countries that are close to China.

Du Zhi's family lived in Haishi, which was once quite wealthy. She had visited many beautiful places when she was a young girl, thanks to her father's encouragement.

Even so, as the two of them strolled along the ancient buildings steeped in history, they couldn't help but marvel: China is truly amazing. A city not only embraces the past but also showcases the present, making one yearn for what the future will be like. Will these historical traces still exist then?

As they walked, the sound of two young children playing and laughing came from behind them, accompanied by soft, light footsteps.

"Hahaha...you can't catch me!"

"Where to run!"

Worried that Du Zhi would be bumped, Su Zihang protected her and stood inside, blocking her with his body. Soon, two seven- or eight-year-old children carrying crude wooden guns ran over quickly.

One of the children kept pointing at the other, chanting "Biu biu biu—"

"Down with little Japan!"

Unexpectedly, the other child immediately stopped running, put his hands on his hips, and shouted, "I'm not! I'm not a Japanese! You're insulting me! I'm not playing with you anymore!"

The first child scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "I didn't insult you, I just blurted it out. Hey, how about we change the game? You be the Japanese soldier and I'll be the People's Liberation Army soldier, that would be so much fun!"

Upon hearing this, the other child burst into tears, his little chest heaving with anger, "Waaah! You're bullying me! Go play by yourself! I swear I'll never be a Japanese!"

"puff!"

Du Zhi burst out laughing, and Su Zihang couldn't help but smile too. Even the occasional passersby laughed and chimed in with a few words. These two kids were just too funny.

Perhaps because they were being watched, the two children, feeling embarrassed, quickly held hands and ran away.

Du Zhi rubbed her stomach, which was a little uncomfortable from laughing, and decided to go back. She leaned on Su Zihang and turned into the residential area to walk slowly.

Looking back at the tree-lined riverbank and the passersby, she couldn't help but think of the history she had read and murmured, "This is a city that was once riddled with holes. Ah Hang, do you think those who died would be envious and gratified to see the people living peacefully and calmly now?"

As she spoke, she gently stroked her belly, "What other babies are there? If they're all healthy, will they be as innocent and lively as those two babies from before?"

The topic suddenly turned sentimental, and Su Zihang knew that this might be the effect of hormones that Dr. Liu Meihong had mentioned, so he quickly interrupted Du Zhi's murmur.

"People today will never forget those who have died, and the children will eventually be reborn to witness the improvement of our China. You are in good health, so please don't think too much, okay?"

Because the two were talking about superstition, they were both speaking softly. However, the extremely perceptive Su Zihang heard the child crying and sobbing as soon as he finished speaking.

He frowned, his ears quickly picking up the direction from which the sound came. After confirming that he hadn't misheard, he immediately picked Du Zhi up and carried her to a shady, crowded place to sit down. "Be a good girl and wait here. I'll be right back."

Du Zhi nodded, and Su Zihang immediately strode away.

As soon as Su Zihang stepped into the crevice between the dilapidated and messy walls of the two courtyards, he saw two small wooden guns lying on the ground among the jumbled things, and sounds could be heard coming from further inside.

"Damn it, you little brat, you swear you'd rather die than be a Japanese, huh? I'll kill you right now!"
