Chen Mansion, Study.
Chen Zijun looked at the list in his hand, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Sister Lanzhi, remember this: when it comes to the Japanese, we always eliminate evil completely. If they exist, if they are discovered, they must be dealt with immediately. Pass on my orders..."
Chen Zijun said, "We're launching another cleanup operation tonight. Let everyone know clearly that this is a continuous, ongoing campaign, regardless of the phase or sequence, and there's no possibility of it ending. Every time we discover something, we'll clean it up!"
"Understood," Moranzhi said.
"We must not let anyone on this list get away with it," Chen Zijun said. "No matter where they are hiding, we must find them."
"Yes," Moranzhi said.
"Contact Su Guiying," Chen Zijun said. "Get the Green Gang to cooperate with the operation."
"Understood," Moranzhi said.
Chen Zijun put down the list and stood up.
"The Japanese have been operating in Shanghai for so many years, their intelligence network must be very deep. They also have many connections to obtain intelligence, but..."
Chen Zijun said, "But I want them to know that on Chinese soil, if they want to gather intelligence, fine, but they'll have to pay with their lives. I'll see if those Japanese dogs have more lives than I, Chen Zijun, have more bullets!"
"Don't worry, young master," Mo Lanzhi said, "I will personally command this operation."
"Very good," Chen Zijun said. "Call Shen Li along. Don't just use the Military Intelligence Bureau's resources; we also have a very strong army. With him here, I can rest assured about your safety. Go..."
Mo Lanzhi nodded and turned to leave the study.
Night falls in Shanghai.
Mo Lanzhi stood in the Military Intelligence Bureau's command center, in front of a huge map of Shanghai. Next to her stood Shen Li, the Chief of the General Staff, a new generation leader of the Chen family army, dressed in a neat military uniform and meticulous in his work. He was Chen Zijun's childhood friend, right-hand man, and the chief of the General Staff.
The map is marked with dozens of red dots, each representing the hideout of a Japanese spy.
"Attention all departments," Moranzi said. "Operation begins."
"Understood." The various arrest teams that had already assembled nearby responded actively, with the cooperation of the military intelligence department and the army.
Mo Lanzhi picked up the phone and dialed Su Guiying's number.
"Sister Guiying, is the Green Gang ready?" Mo Lanzhi asked.
"Ready," Su Guiying said. "My brothers have been monitoring all the intersections in Shanghai, as well as most of the smuggling routes, to ensure the success of the arrest."
"Very good," Moranzhi said. "Once the operation begins, the Green Gang will be responsible for the outer perimeter blockade and surveillance, while the Military Intelligence Bureau and soldiers will be responsible for the arrests."
"Understood," Su Guiying said.
Moranzhi put down the phone and looked at the map.
"First group, target: the Chamber of Commerce," Moranzhi said. "Action."
"clear."
Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, one office.
A middle-aged man was organizing documents when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
"Who?" the man asked.
The door was kicked open, and several MI6 agents rushed in.
"Don't move!" the agent shouted.
The man's expression changed, and he reached into the drawer to get a gun.
"Bang!"
The agent fired a shot, and the man fell to the ground.
"Search them," the agent said.
Another agent stepped forward and found a document on the man.
"It's a Japanese spy," the agent said. "This document is an intelligence record."
"Take him away," the agent said.
Similar scenes were playing out simultaneously across Shanghai.
Newspapers, schools, and government departments—one by one, Japanese spies were captured.
Su Guiying, along with her Green Gang brothers, blocked off all the intersections.
"Don't let anyone escape. These people are all traitors and collaborators, they deserve to die," Su Guiying said.
"Understood," the Green Gang brothers replied.
Overnight, dozens of Japanese spies were captured.
Japan's intelligence network in Shanghai was once again uprooted.
The next morning, at the Chen Mansion.
Mo Lanzhi reported to Chen Zijun: "Young Marshal, the operation is over. We captured 47 Japanese spies, including 3 senior agents."
Chen Zijun nodded: "Very good."
"However," Moranzi said, "the 'Five-Step Snake' on the list is not among the arrested spies."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"They ran away?" Chen Zijun asked.
"Possibly," Moran said. "According to the confessions of the captured spies, 'Five-Step Snake' was a high-ranking agent of the Japanese Special Higher Police, specializing in major operations. He may have already known about our operation and escaped beforehand."
Chen Zijun sneered.
"The monk may run away, but the temple can't," Chen Zijun said. "Pass on my order to block all exits from Shanghai. We must catch this venomous snake."
"Understood," Moranzhi said.
"Furthermore," Chen Zijun said, "I will compile the evidence from this operation and make it public."
"it is good."
"I want the whole world to know that the Japanese are spying in China and plotting assassinations," Chen Zijun said. "I want to ruin Japan's international reputation step by step, until no one will believe anything they say."
In the afternoon, Chen Zijun held a press conference.
Journalists from various countries gathered together.
"Dear reporters," Chen Zijun said, "I have some important news to announce today."
The reporters all raised their cameras.
"We discovered specialized equipment belonging to the Japanese Special Higher Police in the basement of the French Concession consulate," Chen Zijun said. "This equipment included encrypted radios, transmitters, and the highest level of encryption."
The reporters were in an uproar.
"That's not all," Chen Zijun said. "We also discovered a detailed cooperation plan between Marcel and the Japanese. The documents show that Marcel only planned the assassination; the subsequent sniping and bombing were all arranged by the Japanese in his name."
The reporters were even more shocked.
"Furthermore," Chen Zijun said, "we also discovered a list of Japanese intelligence networks in Shanghai. Based on this list, we launched a crackdown operation last night and arrested 47 Japanese spies."
The reporters were in an uproar.
"This evidence proves one thing," Chen Zijun said. "The Japanese conducted intelligence gathering and plotted assassinations in China, showing no regard for China as a sovereign nation. What is this? This is blatant aggression, terrorism, and a complete trampling on international conventions."
Chen Zijun placed the evidence documents on the table.
"The evidence is irrefutable," Chen Zijun said. "Japan must give China, no, give me, an explanation."
Reporters took photos.
The next day, newspapers from various countries reported the news.
The Times: There is irrefutable evidence that Japan was conducting intelligence gathering and plotting assassinations in China.
The New York Times: Japan’s intelligence network in Shanghai has been dismantled, and 47 agents have been arrested.
Shenbao: Chen Zijun's swift and decisive actions wiped out the Japanese intelligence network overnight.
International public opinion was outraged, and the major powers condemned Japan's actions.
Consulate General of Japan, Consular Office.
The Japanese consul's face turned ashen.
"Baka! Chen Zijun, this is a provocation against the Great Japanese Empire!" the Japanese consul slammed his fist on the table.
"Protest!" the Japanese consul said. "We must lodge a strong protest with Chen Zijun!"
The Japanese consul, accompanied by his secretary, stormed into the Chen residence.
"I want to see Chen Zijun!" the Japanese consul shouted.
Shen Li stopped him.
"The young marshal is receiving guests," Shen Li said. "Please wait a moment."
"I can't wait!" the Japanese consul said. "I have important business with Chen Zijun!"
Chen Zijun came out.
"What is it?" Chen Zijun asked.
"Chen Zijun, this is a provocation against the Great Japanese Empire!" the Japanese consul said. "Your arrest of our nationals is a violation of human rights!"
Chen Zijun sneered.
"Provocation?" Chen Zijun said, "Your establishment of an intelligence station in the French Concession and your plotting of assassinations—that's provocation!"
"We know nothing about any intelligence station!" the Japanese consul said. "This is slander!"
Chen Zijun slammed the evidence documents on the table.
"The evidence is irrefutable," Chen Zijun said. "What else do you have to say?"
The Japanese consul opened the document, his face growing paler and paler. He had always known about this kind of thing, but he never expected there to be such evidence. At this moment, he felt like he could eat those people from the Special Higher Police to pieces. How could they be so careless?
But he couldn't admit it.
"This...this is a forgery!" said the Japanese consul.
"Forged?" Chen Zijun sneered. "These devices were found in the basement of the French Consulate in the French Concession, and these documents were also found there. Are you saying the French Consulate forged them to frame you?"
The Japanese consul was speechless.
He dared not say yes, nor could he say no!
"Go back and tell your government," Chen Zijun said. "I've remembered the Japanese spying in China and plotting assassinations."
The Japanese consul slunk away from the Chen residence.
Chen Zijun watched his retreating figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
