Genius Agent

Chapter 21 Hidden Identity

"Brother Lu, sister-in-law, where's Wanyi?"

After Su Yuncheng sat down, he took the initiative to ask, "Lu Wanyi is our daughter. She is eight years old this year and a beautiful and lovely little girl."

"She's playing at a classmate's house. I'll call her back in a bit. You guys eat first."

Lin Manman set out the bowls and chopsticks, took off her apron and went out, while Lu Mingxuan sat down: "Yuncheng, let's eat first, don't worry about them."

"Brother Lu, your wife comes from a scholarly family. For a rough man like you to marry her, your ancestors must have been incredibly lucky. You should be content. We'll wait for them."

Su Yuncheng said with a smile, knowing that Lu Mingxuan actually cared a lot about his wife.

Lu Mingxuan dropped out of high school to make his way in the world, while Lin Manman was a proper college student. Marrying Lin Manman has always been his greatest pride.

"What do you mean my ancestral graves are emitting smoke? That's because your sister-in-law is blessed. But you're a guest, so if you say wait, we'll wait."

Lu Mingxuan's eyes widened, his face full of resentment, but he was secretly overjoyed.

He's a good actor, but anyone who actually thinks he doesn't care about his wife or that he's a chauvinist would probably offend him.

Su Yuncheng chuckled inwardly and continued speaking along with Lu Mingxuan, making Lu Mingxuan happy.

"Sister-in-law, Wanyi, come quickly."

Not long after, Lin Manman returned with a pretty little girl. Su Yuncheng had met Lu Wanyi before, and after a few words of praise, the little girl laughed heartily.

The atmosphere at dinner was lively. After Lin Manman and Lu Wanyi finished eating, Lin Manman left, leaving Lu Mingxuan and Su Yuncheng to chat alone.

【Ring ring ring】

The phone rang at home. Lu Mingxuan, slightly tipsy, slowly got up and said, "Yuncheng, I'll go answer this call."

Lu Mingxuan is the chief inspector. He is usually very busy with work and often receives phone calls at night.

"What? Hu Bang'an was attacked? Someone fired shots? Hu Bang'an was kidnapped?"

The moment the call connected, the words on the other end instantly snapped Lu Mingxuan back to reality, and his heart raced.

"Who did this? Don't know?"

"What are these useless people good for? How could a dignified deputy chief inspector be kidnapped from his own home?"

The phone was a bit far away, so Su Yuncheng couldn't hear the voice on the other end, but he could sense Lu Mingxuan's tension and urgency.

Lu Mingxuan was really angry.

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Mingxuan quickly hung up the phone and sat back down at the table, but this time he had no appetite for drinking and his brows were furrowed.

"Brother Lu, what happened?"

"Hu Bang'an, the deputy chief inspector of the Hongkou Police Station in the International Settlement, was attacked and kidnapped from his home."

Lu Mingxuan picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Yuncheng glanced at him.

Su Yuncheng knew Hu Bang'an. The Hongkou Police Station was close to the Japanese-populated area, and the relationship between the police there and the Japanese was not harmonious.

Lu Mingxuan and Hu Bang'an knew each other, but his emotional behavior was very abnormal.

Besides shock, Su Yuncheng also felt fear, and fear dominated his emotions.

Lu Mingxuan was terrified. What was he afraid of?

Even though Hu Bang'an is the deputy chief inspector, and Lu Mingxuan empathizes with him, his primary emotion should be anger, not fear.

"Yuncheng, I won't drink today. I'll treat you properly next time."

Lu Mingxuan suddenly stood up, and Su Yuncheng left without saying anything.

After seeing Su Yuncheng off, Lu Mingxuan immediately returned to his room: "Manman, take Wanyi back to Hangzhou first thing tomorrow morning, stay there for a few days and then come back."

"Why go back to Hangzhou?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just go back when we tell you to."

Lu Mingxuan scolded, and Lin Manman was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll take Wanyi back tomorrow."

Lu Mingxuan rarely used such a stern tone. Lin Manman was a modern young woman, but she was now a wife and would listen to her husband.

On the rickshaw ride home, Su Yuncheng's mind raced.

What is the relationship between Lu Mingxuan and Hu Bang'an? What impact will Hu Bang'an's abduction have on Lu Mingxuan, making him so afraid?

First of all, the two don't have much of a relationship on the surface; they are merely acquaintances.

However, Lu Mingxuan's emotional reaction made Su Yuncheng realize that the relationship between the two in secret was not so simple.

What could possibly make Lu Mingxuan so nervous and afraid?

The answer is easy to guess: Hu Bang'an's abduction will have a significant impact on Lu Mingxuan and may even threaten his safety.

Su Yuncheng then remembered something else.

Before he started the newspaper, he visited Lu Mingxuan once, and Lu Mingxuan seemed very interested in his relationship with Muto Tomohiro.

At that time, Lu Mingxuan asked a lot of questions about Muto Tomoo.

Everyone has curiosity. Su Yuncheng didn't think much of it at first, but now, considering his abnormal behavior, Lu Mingxuan may have another identity.

What is his hidden identity?

Or rather, what identity is best suited for concealment?

There aren't many answers, but the most likely explanation is that they are undercover agents.

Lu Mingxuan's behavior was not like that of a secret agent.

But they don't seem like it on the surface. They could also be undercover agents. Huang Chuanming is not one of them, but he has already made contact with the Red Party.

If Lu Mingxuan has a hidden identity, which faction does he belong to?

Is it the Kuomintang or the Communist Party?

The Japanese can be ruled out first. Hu Bang'an usually doesn't get along with the Japanese and has made things difficult for them quite a bit.

If Lu Mingxuan is related to Hu Bang'an, then neither of them could possibly work for the Japanese.

Su Yuncheng had met Lu Mingxuan and could sense his contempt and hostility towards the Japanese, which was typical of a Chinese person.

If Lu Mingxuan is secretly working for the Japanese, it won't be hidden from Su Yuncheng.

Which party do the remaining KMT and KMT members belong to?

Regardless of who it belongs to, it is Chinese.

And who kidnapped Hu Bang'an? If Hu Bang'an, like Lu Mingxuan, had a hidden identity, it is highly likely that the kidnapper was Japanese.

Hu Bang'an is the deputy chief inspector; without this method, the Japanese cannot take him away.

After thinking it over all the way, Su Yuncheng returned home.

At Lu Mingxuan's house, Lin Manman packed her luggage. It was too late today, so Lu Mingxuan would send them away early tomorrow morning.

Su Yuncheng was right; Lu Mingxuan did indeed have a hidden identity and was working for the Special Service.

Hu Bang'an was his superior.

He was different from Hu Bang'an, who was a man planted by the Special Service in the police station of the International Settlement. The Special Service spent a lot of money and manpower to promote Hu Bang'an.

For this reason, Hu Bang'an was discovered to be acting strangely by the Special Higher Police and was placed under surveillance.

Lu Mingxuan wasn't a special agent like Hu Bang'an, who was specially trained by the Special Service Department. He was recruited by others, and his mental fortitude couldn't compare to Hu Bang'an's. When he heard that Hu Bang'an was in trouble, he panicked immediately, which Su Yuncheng noticed.

Inside the hospital in the Japanese quarter.

Mizuno's eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Who gave you permission to fire the shots?"

Today's secret arrest went smoothly in the early stages. The informant he found was a boss who had a good relationship with Hu Bang'an, and he successfully tricked Hu Bang'an into coming out.

However, an unexpected incident occurred during the arrest. Hu Bang'an was very vigilant, and when his informant tried to lure him into the shadows, it aroused his suspicion instead.

Hu Bang'an, who had received professional training, immediately noticed something was wrong.

He decisively drew his gun, and the Special Higher Police intelligence team agents, also elites, immediately opened fire in retaliation.

Hu Bang'an was shot twice and fell to the ground, where he was forcibly taken away by the Special Higher Police.

They had already planned their route and successfully returned to the Japanese quarter.

However, the original plan was to return directly to the Special Higher Police, but Hu Bang'an was shot and fell into a coma, so they had to send him to this hospital first.
