Chapter 119: It's time to promote Chen Yongren

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Takayasu Hideyoshi startled, straightened up and said: "His ability is quite good, and his identity is also clean."

"After several probes, it can basically be determined that Chen Yongren is not a Chinese spy."

"Mitsuko talked to me about him yesterday, saying that Chen Yongren's abilities in all aspects are quite good, and he is also very loyal to the locust army, a pity he's a Chinese person."

Fujiwara Chikata nodded slightly: "Rina also said something similar, feeling regretful about Chen Yongren's identity."

"If he were Japanese, with his ability, he would certainly achieve greater accomplishments than now."

"The Major's words are absolutely correct." Takayasu Hideyoshi wisely chose to stay silent, but he was thinking.

"Major His Excellency suddenly brought up Chen Yongren—what does he intend to do?"

"Could it be that he wants to win him over and promote him?"

"Upon careful thought, that is indeed possible."

"After such a long test, Chen Yongren has had no issues; it's time to promote him."

"Then we can do a little publicity; seeing how highly the locust army regards Chen Yongren, others will surely be attracted to come and join."

"This will be a very positive publicity method."

"Takayasu-kun, you just said that Amamiya Kazuhito, that idiot, is trying to win over our people?" Fujiwara Chikata asked.

"Ha!" Takayasu Hideyoshi straightened up and said: "Whoever we value, this guy tries to win over; it's obvious he wants to make you lose face!"

Fujiwara Chikata's face turned cold: "Since he likes to dig, what's wrong with sending a few people in for him?"

"What?" Takayasu Hideyoshi blinked, for a moment not understanding Fujiwara Chikata's meaning.

"When you go to work tomorrow, have Chen Yongren come to the office." Fujiwara Chikata said with a smile.

"Ha!" Takayasu Hideyoshi suddenly realized something, straightened up and bowed deeply.

"Could it be that Major His Excellency wants Chen Yongren to act as a secret agent to deal with Amamiya Kazuhito?"

"A Chinese person."

"Can it really work?"

Fujiwara Chikata obviously didn't want to say more, and Takayasu Hideyoshi, being tactful, didn't ask further, slightly bowed and hurried away.

"……"

Hua Lei had already cleaned the house spotless; looking at her new home, she felt an unprecedented happiness in her heart.

"Ren Ge, what would you like to eat later? I'll go buy it." Hua Lei looked at Chen Yongren.

"There will be guests later…" Chen Yongren glanced at his watch.

Before he finished speaking, the knocking sound came from outside.

"The guests have arrived." Chen Yongren smiled.

"I'll open the door." Hua Lei rushed ahead to the courtyard gate, and the gate opened.

She saw a pretty-faced woman in her early thirties wearing a kimono standing at the doorway.

"How come it's a Japanese woman?"

Hua Lei blinked.

Fujiwara Rina was in a good mood, wondering what to say first when meeting Chen Yongren.

Seeing the gate open.

"Chen—" she hadn't finished speaking when the person appearing at the doorway wasn't Chen Sang, but a young, pretty girl standing there.

"Huh?"

Fujiwara Rina's head slowly produced three question marks.

"How did it turn into a girl?"

Fujiwara Rina thought she had taken the wrong alley, quickly stepped back a few steps, and glanced at the door number.

"She hadn't taken the wrong turn."

"Who are you looking for?" Hua Lei's eyes showed a hint of wariness.

"I'm looking for Chen Sang." Fujiwara Rina spoke in awkward Chinese, tiptoeing to look into the courtyard.

"Chen Sang?" Hua Lei was a bit confused.

"It's Chen Yongren." Fujiwara Rina said: "Chen Sang, are you inside?"

"She's my student, let her in!" Chen Yongren shouted upon hearing the voice.

"Student?"

Hua Lei stepped aside, saying: "Come in."

"Thank you." Fujiwara Rina glanced at Hua Lei, feeling somewhat strange about this girl's identity.

A vague sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

Hua Lei closed the courtyard gate and hurriedly ran into the house.

Fujiwara Rina glanced at the entering Hua Lei, then looked at Chen Yongren: "Chen Sang, who is this young lady?"

Her eyes carried a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"This girl is called Hua Lei; seeing her being bullied, I casually rescued her and brought her home." Chen Yongren smiled: "A girl has nowhere else to go, so she's temporarily staying at my place."

Zhang Haifeng brought those three men back to the police station; this will surely catch Liu Jianming's attention, and it can be found out with a casual inquiry—there's no need to lie about it.

Hua Lei, although feeling strange inside, wondered why Chen Yongren had become the teacher of this Japanese woman.

But she is a sensible child, didn't say much, sat obediently beside Chen Yongren, just smiling and not speaking further.

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Rina quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had thought this girl was his girlfriend.

"Hua Lei is really fortunate." Fujiwara Rina smiled.

Upon careful thought, my first meeting with Chen Yongren wasn't also when he rescued me?

Saying that, I'm also quite lucky, hehe.

"Lady Rina, it's getting late; I think our lesson can begin." Chen Yongren said with a smile.

"Hai!" Fujiwara Rina nodded slightly and casually tied up her hair.

Um… I realized Hua Lei was looking at me.

This completely unconscious action made Fujiwara Rina blush.

Hua Lei found it even stranger.

"Just tying up her hair, why is she blushing?"

"Could her hair be fake?"

Hua Lei couldn't help but scrutinize Fujiwara Rina.

Meeting Hua Lei's gaze, Fujiwara Rina's cheeks grew ever redder and hotter.

I tied up my hair just in case it would get ink on it during calligraphy practice later, but now it seems I've been misunderstood by this little sister Hua Lei.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

The three fell silent.

In the end, it was Fujiwara Rina who spoke first.

"Chen Sang, can we start the lesson?"

Fujiwara Rina was somewhat blushing.

"Little girl, this lady is my student learning Chinese." Chen Yongren said solemnly: "Go buy the vegetables we need for tonight; you don't have to come back too early."

"A student learning Chinese?"

No wonder she reeks of a Japanese vibe.

"Ren Ge, what do you like to eat? I'll buy more." Hua Lei asked.

"Buy whatever you like to eat, and let me also try your cooking." Chen Yongren smiled.

Hua Lei didn't ask further, nodded and left.

After seeing Hua Lei disappear from sight, Fujiwara Rina gave Chen Yongren a slightly resentful look, then hurried over to him: "Chen Sang, is that full-body massage you mentioned the other day still on?"
