Seven years ago.
Dai Shinan took the initiative to propose a plan to Lu Zongting.
After the two finalized every aspect of the plan, Dai Shinan went to Hanyang to perform a secret mission.
In order to avoid the opponent's dark game among the agents, Dai Shinan didn't tell anyone where he was going.
He went to Hanyang alone.
During that time, the agent station completely lost contact with Dai Shinan, and those people thought that Dai Shinan had disappeared.
Even though some of them have searched for Dai Shinan, they have not found the slightest clue.
After Dai Shinan arrived in Hanyang, he put on a disguise.
However, in the plans of Dai Shinan and Lu Zongting, Dai Shinan should have been noticed by Dong Hongchang.
Therefore, although Dai Shinan made a cover, he still deliberately revealed some clues to let Dong Hongchang's people discover his whereabouts.
After Dai Shinan came to Hanyang, he began to investigate Dong Hongchang's affairs.
He deliberately created an illusion for Dong Hongchang, letting Dong Hongchang think that Dai Shinan's purpose in coming here was to obtain clues to Dong Hongchang.
Dai Shinan was a close friend of Lu Zongting, Dong Hongchang would naturally think that all that Dai Shinan did was Lu Zongting's signal.
Dai Shinan showed his tiny feet, making Dong Hongchang believe his motives step by step.
Before Dai Shinan came to Hanyang, he already knew some things about Dong Hongchang.
Lu Zongting told him that Dong Hongchang was suspicious and didn't believe anyone.
Although Dong Hongchang has many subordinates, Dong Hongchang is always separated from them by one layer and will not trust them wholeheartedly.
There is one exception, that person is Fan Yuan.
He and Dong Hongchang are friends of life and death and have experienced many things together.
Compared with other people, Fan Yuan is more reusable by Dong Hongchang.
Dong Hongchang will leave some secret things to him to complete.
If Dai Shinan wanted to attack Dong Hongchang, Fan Yuan would be a breakthrough.
Dai Shinan didn't want to get close to Fan Yuan, and learned about Dong Hongchang from him.
He was going to use Fan Yuan as an opportunity to lure Dong Hongchang to appear.
Dai Shinan had investigated Fan Yuan's residence long ago.
After Dong Hongchang had believed that Dai Shinan had only come to Hanyang to monitor Dong Hongchang by Lu Zongting's order, he began to prepare for the next step.
Soon, Dai Shinan asked the dead man who followed him to follow Fan Yuan.
They deliberately showed movement, let Fan Yuan notice.
They didn't do it very clearly, it seemed that it was just inadvertently exposed.
Fan Yuan has worked for Dong Hongchang for many years, and he is an extremely cautious person.
Dai Shinan moved a little, and Fan Yuan realized that someone was watching him.
After Fan Yuan noticed that someone was following him, he didn't panic. He calmly shook the person behind him.
After that, Fan Yuan reported to Dong Hongchang.
Dong Hongchang guessed that this was Dai Shinan's work, so he disguised himself and came to Fan Yuan's apartment, ready to catch Dai Shinan.
Dai Shinan knew that the plan had already taken the first step.
When Dai Shinan was ready to advance the task, he rented the house opposite.
All of Fan Yuan's actions were under Dai Shinan's surveillance.
The night is deep and the cold wind is lonely.
Even the moon was blocked by clouds tonight, it seemed so dark that there was no gleam of light.
Dai Shinan walked out of the opposite house, and the dead man followed him and began to approach Fan Yuan's residence.
In order for Dong Hongchang to believe in Dai Shinan's purpose, some sacrifices must be made.
The dead men behind Dai Shinan all knew their end.
They would be shot to death by Dong Hongchang's men.
When Dai Shinan's people opened the door, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the darkness.
The dead soldier who stood in front of Dai Shinan fell to the ground and immediately lost his breath.
The lights in the room suddenly lit up, instantly illuminating the situation inside.
A row of gunmen in black clothes lined up, and their black guns aimed at the door.
There are not many people on Dai Shinan's side, and he is obviously in a disadvantaged position.
In the next second, the two sides immediately launched a gun battle.
The atmosphere is dignified and ignited.
Dong Hongchang's people deliberately avoided Dai Shinan, but shot the dead man next to him to death.
Before long, all the people on Dai Shinan's side died, and Dong Hongchang's people also suffered a lot of casualties.
Everything went as Dai Shinan wanted, and he was subdued at the last moment.
Dai Shinan was restrained and knelt in the hall.
After a while, a man walked into the door, and Dai Shinan looked up.
It is Dong Hongchang.
With the door closed, Dai Shinan faced Dong Hongchang for the first time.
The corner of Dong Hongchang's mouth was sneered, and he sneered, "Commander Dai."
"I didn't expect you to be a prisoner, right?"
Dai Shinan's eyebrows sank, as if he was holding back his anger: "It's because I'm inferior to others, so you don't have to talk nonsense."
Dong Hongchang walked slowly in front of Dai Shinan, and he said: "Since Commander Dai has spoken himself, then I will naturally follow you."
In the next second, a fierce look flashed through Dong Hongchang's eyes, stretched out his hand, and slammed Dai Shinan's neck fiercely.
Next, Dai Shinan lost consciousness.
After design, Dong Hongchang did not suspect that Dai Shinan was arrested on his own initiative.
After arriving under Dong Hongchang's hand, Dai Shinan was tortured, but did not reveal any points.
Dong Hongchang tortured Dai Shinan and immediately put him in Hanyang Prison.
In the prison, Dai Shinan met Mo Qinghan.
Mo Qinghan's behavior did not seem unusual.
But Dai Shinan was extremely cautious. He suspected that Mo Qinghan might be Dong Hongchang's.
After Dai Shinan stayed in the prison long enough, he suggested to Dong Hongchang that he could not stand the torture and decided to cooperate with him.
Dai Shinan pretended to surrender to Dong Hongchang.
And Dong Hongchang gave him a chance to meet.
Dai Shinan was taken from the prison to a private house, where Dong Hongchang was waiting for him.
Dai Shinan's life in prison was not good, and when he met Dong Hongchang, he was already very haggard.
Dong Hongchang laughed softly when he saw his appearance, his expression full of mockery.
However, this makes it easier for Dong Hongchang to believe that Dai Shinan has been tortured a lot.
The light here was dim, Dai Shinan suddenly spoke, and his voice cut through the dark silence.
Dai Shinan's voice was hoarse: "I am willing to cooperate with Governor Dong."
Dai Shinan changed his name to Dong Hongchang in a respectful tone.
It seems that this difficult time has made him compromise.
Dong Hongchang snorted coldly: "What if I don't believe your sincerity?"
Although Dai Shinan was tortured, his back was still straight.
His words were firm: "The only thing that can prove this is time."
When Dai Shinan finished speaking, the room became quiet.
Dong Hongchang did not answer immediately.
After a moment of silence, Dong Hongchang said: "Okay, I will let you go back."
Dai Shinan suddenly loosened his heart, but his expression was not obvious: "I hope we can cooperate smoothly."
Dong Hongchang looked at Dai Shinan: "You have been in Hanyang for so long, wouldn't Lu Zongting doubt it?"
Dong Hongchang knew that even if Dai Shinan's surrender at this time was false, it was just because he wanted to get rid of the current predicament.
But if he disappeared for so long, Lu Zongting would be suspicious.
Dai Shinan: "Leave this to me to solve it myself, and I want you to help me."
Dong Hongchang: "You said."
Dai Shinan said: "First, erase all traces of my existence in Hanyang Prison, and second, I want to take a person out of the prison."
Dong Hongchang narrowed his eyes: "The first thing is very simple, but the second thing..."
He paused and said, "What is your purpose?"
Dai Shinan's face was calm: "That person is a man of creation, I want to use him."
When speaking back, Dai Shinan had been observing Dong Hongchang's reaction.
Dong Hongchang's eyes were deep and he seemed to be thinking about something, but this may also be an illusion.
After a while, Dong Hongchang replied: "If you have other thoughts, I will kill you immediately."
Dai Shinan smiled: "I believe Governor Dong has this ability."
Dong Hongchang said, "What is the prisoner's name?"
Dai Shinan's voice fell: "Mo Qinghan."
Dai Shinan then added: "I won't let him know about our cooperation."
After Dong Hongchang heard Mo Qinghan's name, he didn't have any reaction, making people unable to guess his thoughts.
Dong Hongchang glanced at Dai Shinan: "Commander Dai is really cautious."
Dong Hongchang's tone didn't make waves, whether it was satire or praise.
Dong Hongchang said again: "If anything goes wrong with you in the future, I will put it on you."
"The lives of you and this prisoner are in my hands."
Dai Shinan pondered for a moment: "Okay."
Dong Hongchang: "You go to prison."
Dai Shinan stopped talking and left here.
But Mo Qinghan, who was mentioned in this conversation, didn't know anything about it.
After Dai Shinan left the prison, it didn't take long for him to send someone to look for Mo Qinghan.
At this time, Mo Qinghan was staying in the cell.
The door to the cell suddenly opened, and a jailer walked in.
The jailer walked straight towards Mo Qinghan.
Mo Qinghan noticed the strangeness and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The jailer walked to the front of Mo Qinghan's cell. He took out the key and opened the cell door.
The jailer's voice fell: "Someone is looking for you."
Mo Qinghan was suspicious, but stood up calmly and followed the jailer out of the cell.
The jailer took Mo Qinghan to a room and motioned for him to enter.
Mo Qinghan was vigilant and pushed in.
There was a person standing inside, his back facing him.
The man heard the movement at the door and turned around.
Mo Qinghan frowned: "Is it you?"
The person in the room is the prisoner Dai Shinan who left before.
On the one hand, Dai Shinan wanted to use Mo Qinghan, on the other hand, he doubted him.
Therefore, Dai Shinan specifically proposed to Dong Hongchang to save Mo Qinghan.
Dai Shinan would put Mo Qinghan by his side to observe.
He wasn't sure of Mo Qinghan's identity, and doing so was the best choice.
Mo Qinghan's ability is extremely strong, very suitable for being an agent.
If Mo Qinghan was sent by Dong Hongchang, he would keep Mo Qinghan by his side, which would also be more conducive to understanding Dong Hongchang's plan.
But from now on, Dai Shinan must be extremely cautious.
After Dai Shinan and Mo Qinghan put forward this suggestion, Mo Qinghan did not think about it long before they agreed.
After everything was ready, Dai Shinan looked for someone outside.
He changed his face to look like Mo Qinghan and stayed in Hanyang Prison instead of Mo Qinghan.
…
Shanghai seven years later.
Mo Qinghan turned his head and looked at the night outside the window.
It was pitch black outside the window, and the night from all directions approached him, and the shadows were heavy.
Near the end of spring, the night at Shanghai Beach is still a bit cold.
The window was open, dark colors poured in, and then there was chill.
Somehow, Mo Qinghan recalled the days in Hanyang Prison.
Thoughts surged, and those past passed through his mind.
After his mother died, Mo Qinghan left with Dong Hongchang. Mo Qinghan called Dong Hongchang his teacher and did things for him.
Once, Dong Hongchang mentioned that Mo Qinghan was sent to Hanyang Prison for the purpose of tempering his temperament.
Dong Hongchang once said that his ability is sufficient, but he is still the last step to win the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Mo Qinghan obeyed Dong Hongchang's instructions and entered Hanyang Prison.
After he went to jail, he began his own conspiracy.
The jail was mixed with dragons and fish, and Mo Qinghan step by step gained the trust of those people and made them his own subordinates.
Later, Dai Shinan was caught by Dong Hongchang's design. They met in Hanyang Prison by accident.
Dai Shinan's mouth was very tight, and Dong Hongchang thought about it.
Dong Hongchang told him that this person was a close friend of Lu Zongting.
The jailer sent a message to Mo Qinghan, and after Mo Qinghan got the news, he approached Dai Shinan.
He let Dai Shinan see his own abilities, and made Dai Shinan use people's heart.
After Dai Shinan surrendered to Dong Hongchang, he proposed to take Mo Qinghan away.
In order to prevent Dai Shinan from becoming suspicious, Mo Qinghan initially rejected his proposal.
Later, Mo Qinghan agreed to leave with Dai Shinan and become his subordinate.
In the first few years of working as an agent, Dai Shinan doubted himself and was wary of whether he was still on Dong Hongchang's side.
Many things Dai Shinan did not leave him to do, just to test him.
Mo Qinghan completely broke off his relationship with Dong Hongchang, but was still establishing his own news channel secretly.
Only when the time is right, the plan will be implemented.
Mo Qinghan's hotel near Hanyang Prison was part of his plan. Dai Shinan didn't know that he had secret contacts with the prisoners.
He was hiding well, Dai Shinan slowly believed him, and let him do things without worry.
After gaining Dai Shinan's trust, Mo Qinghan only contacted Dong Hongchang.
Step by step, how much he has done for Dong Hongchang has never been at all disagreeable.
Oh, he actually endured it for seven years.
The chill hit Mo Qinghan's heart, icy to the bone.
Mo Qinghan looked extremely cold.
He was extremely loyal to Dong Hongchang, but in the end, he became a waste.
Why should he suffer such treatment
Mo Qinghan's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes looked like ice.
Behind him was a gloomy sky, as if there was no light forever.
I don't know how long it took, and the night got deeper, and Mo Qinghan was still sitting there.
His figure was silent, allowing the dark light to flood up and cover his whole body.
