My girlfriend is from 1949

"You... how could you...!"

Liu Xiankui was panting heavily, his wide eyes filled with disbelief.

This escape route was decided after careful consideration.

No one else knew except himself.

Even if someone is chasing you, once you enter the complex alleyway, even if you can float on water or fly over grass, you won't be able to catch up with him!

Moreover, the other party didn't blush or pant, showing no signs of exhaustion from relentless pursuit.

He looked completely calm and collected, clearly having anticipated his escape route and waiting at this corner!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Liu Xiankui's eyes widened, startled by the analysis he had just heard.

Unless he has eyes in the sky, he wouldn't be able to find himself in the maze-like maze.

That's even more impossible!

Chen Huai'an's voice came through the earpiece: "Section Chief, if he's a spy, he must have received combat training. Can you handle him? Or should we stall for time? Reinforcements are on their way."

Tian Guorong curled his lip and said with dissatisfaction, "I trained with a master for several years. Back when I was in the gang, I was the king of one-on-one fights, a top-notch fighter!"

His voice was filled with dissatisfaction with the doubts and a strong sense of self-confidence.

Moreover, during these two days together, everyone got to know each other better.

After getting to know him, this section chief would inadvertently reveal a roguish air about him from his days in the gangster world.

If he took off his yellow-green military uniform and put on a white vest and black mandarin jacket, he would definitely look like a gang member!

After all, having disguised oneself for over a decade, some habits and unintentional traits are hard to change overnight.

Seeing the other person talking to themselves, Liu Xiankui asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Tian Guorong grinned: "It's nothing, don't worry about it. You just need to stick your hand out obediently."

As he spoke, he pulled out his handcuffs and shook them.

Liu Xiankui frowned, knowing that he wouldn't be able to escape unless he defeated the policeman in front of him.

He reached behind his waist and pulled out a sheathed dagger.

He drew the dagger, its sharp blade gleaming with a chilling light.

He accelerated, rushing forward in a single stride, and thrust his sword towards his heart.

His movements were both steady and powerful, clearly showing he had practiced a lot.

Despite the dagger aimed at his heart, Tian Guorong remained calm and composed.

With a slight turn of his foot, he avoided a fatal blow.

Then he gripped the handcuffs in his fist and slammed them down hard on the arm that was wielding the knife.

Click!

With a crisp crack, even Chen Huai'an could hear the sound of bones breaking through his earphones.

Tian Guorong didn't hold back at all when he threw that punch.

He even held the handcuffs on the surface of his fists, using them as brass knuckles.

It's like wrapping a fist in iron!

If you hit someone's arm, it's no wonder the bone would crack!

Ding ding~!

In an instant, the dagger fell to the ground.

Liu Xiankui was stunned for two seconds before he felt a piercing pain in his arm.

"Ah~!"

He clutched his severed arm with his left hand and let out a piercing scream.

Immediately, a mournful wail echoed through the alley.

The old hen kept nearby flapped its wings wildly in fright, and the guard dog kept in the alley also started barking wildly.

Tian Guorong frowned, his ears throbbing from the screams.

With a kick, the screams abruptly ceased.

Liu Xiankui was kicked in the lower abdomen, his body was thrown into the air, and he flew two or three meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

He lay on the ground, clutching his stomach, his face pale with pain.

Tian Guorong strode forward, giving him no chance to react.

He threw another punch, this time landing squarely on the chin.

Liu Xiankui didn't even utter a sound before being knocked unconscious by a single punch.

Knocking someone unconscious wasn't enough; they even ripped off their coat, tore off their shirt buttons, and pulled their clothes up to their back.

Chen Huai'an watched the whole thing via drone, then turned and laughed, "Old Tian's got some skills; he's a trained fighter!"

He couldn't help but complain, "Knocking someone out isn't enough; stripping them naked is just too humiliating!"

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes, her pretty face full of admiration.

"Old Tian wasn't insulting anyone, he was trying to prevent suicide!"

If Liu Xiankui was indeed a spy, according to the regulations of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he might have hidden potassium cyanide in his collar.

A simple turn of the head and a bite through the collar can be fatal within seconds.

Old Tian did this as a precaution.

Chen Huai'an nodded slightly: "I see..."

Just as the two were talking, Xiao Liu and several soldiers ran over quickly.

They escorted Liu Xiankui straight back to the Public Security Bureau.

From the moment he drew his sword, it was basically certain that he was a spy.

If he were just an ordinary speculator, he wouldn't dare, nor would he need to, attack the police after fleeing!

So the most likely explanation is that he was guilty and worried that his identity as a spy would be exposed, which is why he ran away.

With Liu Xiankui's arrest, the contracts signed by those businessmen to jointly boycott the new currency were also uncovered.

The evidence is conclusive that they conspired to maliciously manipulate the price of silver dollars.

As for how to handle it, that depends on the superiors' considerations.

However, there were too many people, and Shanghai had just been liberated, so they were probably given a reprimand after being cleared of suspicion of being spies, and then released.

Otherwise, if these people are detained or sentenced, Shanghai's economy and daily life will inevitably collapse!

Chen Huai'an didn't care about the subsequent interrogation; after all, he was an outsider and couldn't help anyway.

At 6 o'clock, I left work and went home on time.

Aunt Zhang cooked a meal and was waiting for them to come home.

Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan walked back to the villa side by side, admiring the retro architecture around them.

As soon as I stepped through the gate, I saw an elderly man with white hair and a white beard sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Opposite the old man was Lao Zhang, who was chatting with him.

Upon seeing the two return, he immediately introduced them: "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xu Dongyang..."

Old Zhang paused briefly, then raised his voice.

He was once the top martial arts scholar in the Qing Dynasty and was appointed as a first-class imperial bodyguard!

Later, unable to tolerate the weakness and incompetence of the Qing court, he resigned due to illness and returned home.

Although the old man is almost eighty years old, he is in very good health.

During the War of Resistance against Japan in the preceding years, he assassinated many Japanese officers.

The central government went to great lengths to find a renowned teacher for you, and it was only after much effort that they managed to persuade the old gentleman to come out of retirement.

When Chen Huai'an heard the words "Martial Arts Champion," he couldn't help but think of Liu Yubai, the martial arts champion in the movie "Bodyguards and Assassins."

A young nobleman from Yangzhou who passed the imperial examination at the age of 17 with the highest score in martial arts was unfortunately ruined by his opium addiction.

Even though his body had been ravaged by opium, he still held on to the end, resisting the pursuing Qing soldiers.

If it weren't for the Qing army's superior numbers, they might not have been able to defeat him!

Liu Yubai, the martial arts champion, ruined his health because of opium addiction.

How powerful must this energetic, seemingly youthful-looking old man be?

Chen Huai'an, regaining his composure, quickly bowed respectfully and greeted, "Greetings, sir!"

Xu Dongyang narrowed his eyes and said casually, "I'm a bit old, my bones have already closed. I'll do my best, but don't be too ambitious."
