Chapter 140: Absolutely Impossible

Hmm…

Even if she later gets a chance to try other brands' big sausages, it won't leave her cheeks sore from exhaustion again.

A thoughtful man like Chen Yongren is truly rare.

After swallowing the last bite of sausage, Fujiwara Yuko let out a satisfied sigh, her face full of happiness: "Chen Sang, you were right—this restaurant's sausage is really delicious!"

"If you like it, I'll bring you next time." Chen Yongren smiled: "I heard this restaurant has many signature dishes."

Speaking, Chen Yongren picked up a napkin again and wiped the sauce from the corner of Fujiwara Yuko's mouth.

Fujiwara Yuko shyly lowered her head, then lifted it to stare directly at Chen Yongren, earnestly saying: "Chen Sang, I know you treat me well."

"But please don't go to such expense; next time I'll bring you here, and you won't have to spend a cent."

She was referring to Chen Yongren settling the bill early, not giving her a chance to pay.

"As long as you're happy, that's enough." Chen Yongren laughed: "Besides, Director Fujiwara values me highly and has already promoted me to police chief."

"I think this is definitely thanks to you putting in a good word for me; otherwise I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly, and I certainly want to thank you properly."

"Chen Sang…" Fujiwara Yuko was deeply moved.

She seemed to think of something else and asked: "Chen Sang, who did you learn French from?"

"You mean that ordering phrase?" Chen Yongren put on an embarrassed look: "It's not that I prepared specially to treat you to a meal; I actually only know that one phrase."

Hearing this, Fujiwara Yuko became even more moved.

Chen Sang is really thoughtful.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Yongren escorted Fujiwara Yuko home.

The warship was destroyed, and military police began appearing on the streets to search, but Fujiwara Yuko happened to have special documents.

Seeing his hostile attitude toward Chen Yongren, he harshly reprimanded an oblivious military policeman.

This little incident only brought them closer together.

Chen Yongren successfully escorted Fujiwara Yuko back to her villa.

Chen Yongren patted Fujiwara Yuko's head and said gently: "Yuko, it's getting late—go home and rest."

Time flew by; Fujiwara Yuko's face showed reluctance, clearly not wanting to leave. After a moment, she asked: "Chen Sang, and you—how's your stomach feeling now?"

"I was still feeling a bit uncomfortable, but your concern made me feel much better," Chen Yongren replied with a smile.

"Chen Sang, you keep saying these things." Fujiwara Yuko said coquettishly: "By the way, Chen Sang, do you like pastries?"

Chen Yongren nodded.

"Great!" Fujiwara Yuko exclaimed excitedly: "I've recently been learning to make dorayaki; once I've mastered it, I'll make some for you!"

"Then thank you, Yuko." Chen Yongren smiled, saw Fujiwara Yuko off, and then began preparing his own matters.

Tomorrow is the day for the transaction with Chen Dian; time is tight, so preparing the transaction details in advance will also save a lot of time.

Anyway, the rented house is spacious enough; Chen Yongren placed the remaining equipment parts in each room, waiting for tomorrow's transaction.

……

Inside the Songhu Special Agency.

Three warships, along with their supplies, were blown up; Fujiwara Chinta and Amamiya Kazuto couldn't even dare to think about the consequences.

Moreover, they discovered a corpse stripped of its military uniform.

This further convinced them that the warship's explosion was no accident, but deliberate sabotage.

It clearly shows that there are still National Government and even Red Party agents hiding in Songhu, and they must be rooted out as soon as possible.

The two old-timers only want to quickly uncover the truth and pull out the mastermind behind it.

Of course.

These two old-timers could never cooperate; they would only use their own people.

But they don't care.

After all.

Besides, Chen Yongren is here.

During the meeting, Fujiwara Chinta deliberately brought up Chen Yongren and promoted him to a member of the Special Agency's External Action Group, to investigate this matter covertly.

Naturally, Amamiya Kazuto had to pretend to oppose this.

It's normal for the two to oppose each other.

In the end, Amamiya Kazuto still pretended to be suppressed by Fujiwara Chinta's authority and reluctantly agreed to the proposal.

But inside, Amamiya Kazuto was overjoyed.

Who would have thought?

Chen Yongren has already sworn loyalty to me!

Little did they know, Fujiwara Chinta had the same idea.

Both old-timers thought the other had fallen into their trap, and both believed Chen Yongren would serve them, gathering intelligence from the other's side.

Fujiwara Villa.

Fujiwara Yuko and Fujiwara Rina were busy in the kitchen.

"Mother, just watch from the side; if I do something wrong, please correct me promptly." Fujiwara Yuko said earnestly.

"Yuko seems to be making this kind of traditional pastry for a boy for the first time."

Upon learning that Fujiwara Yuko was going to make dorayaki for Chen Yongren, Fujiwara Rina couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

She, too, is a woman, and could naturally see that Yuko actually likes Chen Yongren.

If Yuko ends up with Chen Yongren, what should she do then?

"Nonsense, it's just that Chen Sang treated me to a meal today, spending a lot of money—I naturally want to thank him properly." Fujiwara Yuko blushed and blurted out that Chen Yongren had taken her for a French feast.

At first, Fujiwara Rina showed no expression, but upon hearing which restaurant Chen Yongren had chosen, she immediately felt something was off.

Duke Fa Restaurant?

This restaurant seems quite close to the port that exploded tonight, ah.

I've only mentioned this to Chen Sang before…

As a result, the warship exploded tonight.

Teng Yuan Linai felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest; just as she was thinking, she heard a voice from outside the door.

"Youko, what restaurant are you talking about?" Teng Yuan Jintai smiled and walked in.

"Father, you're back." Teng Yuan Youko didn't think much and immediately said she had dinner with Chen Yongren tonight.

Teng Yuan Linai wanted to stop it but it was too late; fortunately, Teng Yuan Jintai's attention was all on Youko, and he didn't notice his wife's oddness.

"Huh?" Teng Yuan Jintai's brows furrowed slightly.

The warship exploded, and the place where they had dinner was also very close to the port.

Could these two things be related?

"Youko, did anything happen while you were dining?" Teng Yuan Jintai asked offhandedly, "For example, did he leave the restaurant?"

"I was near the restaurant after work and saw Chen Sang drinking with another girl."

"I was just busy with other things at the time."

"Otherwise I would have gone over to ask who that girl was."

"Impossible!" Teng Yuan Youko was unhappy: "Chen Sang has always…"

"Chen Sang, aside from having a stomach upset and going to the bathroom once, has never left my sight, but it was only a few minutes."

"Father."

"Do you mean to tell me that Chen Sang could use those few minutes to date another girl?"

"That just means I was mistaken." Teng Yuan Jintai laughed.

A few minutes?

How could Chen Yongren possibly make a round trip in that time?

Let alone that he'd need to figure out how to infiltrate the warship.

After setting the explosives, he'd have to withdraw safely.

To think he could finish all that in a few minutes?

Absolutely impossible.
