Chapter 151: Transaction Nullified

~7 min read 1,267 words

The boss returned to the counter with a packet of herbal medicine, then picked up a pen and wrote the decoction method on the paper, and handed it all to Huang Qifa, saying gently: "Sir, this is your medicine and the decoction method."

Huang Qifa took it, nodded, then turned and left the pharmacy.

The information transmission was complete; next it depended on the superiors whether to take action against Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren was not idle either; after teaching Fujiwara Rina Chinese, he changed into new clothes and went to the contact point.

He was preparing to tell Amagi Kazuto about inviting Meng Youde, Fujiwara, and Takayanagi to a meal.

Now, at the very least, he was secretly loyal to him, so he had to occasionally pass along useful information to demonstrate his usefulness.

Upon arriving at the contact point, Chen Yongren realized it was a Japanese restaurant.

Do all these secret agents like to open restaurants?

Can't we meet somewhere other than the rooftop next time?

Chen Yongren muttered to himself and walked into the restaurant.

"How many?" a woman in a kimono approached Chen Yongren with small steps, speaking respectfully in Japanese.

"One." Chen Yongren casually replied in Japanese: "Where is your boss?"

"Please follow me." The waitress was not surprised; after leading him to the counter, she turned and left.

"Oh, it's Chen Sang. Long time no see. What do you need?" Mizutani Tetsuya smiled.

"Mizutani-san, the cherry blossoms in our hometown are blooming." Chen Yongren said solemnly.

"Oh?" Mizutani Tetsuya feigned surprise: "As far as I know, it's not cherry blossom season now."

Chen Yongren said: "The cherry blossoms are not only in bloom, but blooming beautifully."

The conversation was strange.

But this was indeed their contact password.

"Really?" Mizutani Tetsuya smiled broadly: "Chen Sang, I haven't returned to my hometown in a long time; please be sure to tell me about its changes."

Under Mizutani Tetsuya's guidance, the two went to a secluded private room.

"Chen Sang, please wait a moment; I'll contact Chief Amagi right away." Mizutani Tetsuya said, then left the private room.

After about ten or so minutes, the private room door was opened again.

A figure hurriedly walked in.

"Chief Amagi." Chen Yongren stood up.

Amagi Kazuto waved his hand: "Chen Sang, why are you in such a hurry to see me this time?"

Chen Yongren said: "Chief Amagi, we today discovered the corpse of a military intelligence agent named Meng Youde; we are investigating this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Amagi Kazuto exclaimed in surprise: "He's dead?"

Amagi Kazuto's expression grew solemn as he mused: "So that's why Fujiwara Chinta was in such a rush to leave today."

"Chen Sang, keep investigating; report any findings to me promptly."

Chen Yongren nodded and added: "Also, Fujiwara and Takayanagi are planning to invite me to a meal at the Duke's French Restaurant in three days."

Upon hearing this, Amagi Kazuto's eyes lit up: "Did they say what it's about?"

Chen Yongren shook his head.

"Never mind; just go accept the invitation. As you say, a free meal is not to be refused." Amagi Kazuto said.

Chen Yongren added: "Yes, after the meal, I will definitely report back to you as soon as possible."

After finishing the report, Chen Yongren left the restaurant.

Soon the day arrived for the transaction between Yu Kuntai and Hirata Jiro.

Chen Yongren's daily life was also carefree.

Every day he did some gardening, and his functions grew stronger.

Of course.

Chen Yongren also hadn't forgotten to keep an eye on Yu Kuntai and the others; according to the documents found in Hirata Jiro's briefcase, he located the warehouse for their transaction.

For this transaction with the Japanese 3rd Division, the Green Gang had prepared three warehouses to store the needed supplies.

But these supplies were destined to be a bargain for Chen Yongren.

Night.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese transaction had not yet begun, Chen Yongren changed into black clothes and quietly approached the warehouse perimeter.

Outside the courtyard, several men in black hemp clothing were standing around, listlessly smoking.

With the previous infiltration experience, Chen Yongren entered their warehouse effortlessly.

The warehouse was brightly lit inside.

Large and small burlap sacks, as well as cube-shaped items wrapped in waterproof cloth, were all laid out on the ground.

As previously mentioned, the Green Gang helps the Japanese scavenge military supplies, so there are no firearms or ammunition here either.

But to Chen Yongren, it didn't matter what was stored here.

The main goal was to make the Japanese suffer and disrupt their logistics so they couldn't keep up with the frontline war.

The sons of bitches, the little Japanese, still dreaming of logistics—what a pipe dream.

Chen Yongren, practiced and skilled, pressed his hand on the box and stored the supplies into the warehouse.

The bastards who had surrendered to the Japanese and Hirata Jiro never imagined that one person could loot their warehouse single‑handedly.

As for whether the Japanese, upon seeing the supplies gone, would redirect their anger toward those collaborators, that was not something Chen Yongren needed to consider.

They were nothing but scum at the bottom of society, making a living by oppressing civilians and smuggling contraband.

Even if these beasts died, it would purify the Songhu environment.

As he collected the supplies, Chen Yongren meanwhile had a new idea.

This batch of supplies mysteriously vanished, so the deal between Hirata Jiro and Yu Kuntai is sure to fall through.

Hirata Jiro would certainly also try to find a way to continue looking for supplies.

In that case, why can't we think of a way to trick Hirata Jiro once!

After all.

This little devil has prepared quite a bit of money to buy supplies.

If we're not going to cheat, we might as well not cheat at all.

If we just let the supplies disappear like that, the Green Gang's scum will definitely try to investigate this.

It's not that I'm afraid of being investigated; Chen Yongren is worried that Hirata Jiro will suspect this.

If the Green Gang's supplies disappear here, and then someone immediately shows up with supplies to do business with Hirata Jiro, he will surely suspect something is wrong.

In that case…

Simply set it on fire.

The weather is dry and things are parched.

If the warehouse accidentally catches fire, there's no problem, right?

With the skill to fake a crime scene, even if the Green Gang later tries to investigate, they won't find any trace.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren left a small batch of supplies in each warehouse.

Since it's a fire, the scene cannot possibly have no trace of supplies being burned.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.

Before leaving, Chen Yongren directly set the warehouse on fire, then quickly departed.

"Fire, fire, it's on fire!"

"The warehouse is on fire!"

A little lackey outside the warehouse smoking suddenly noticed thick smoke billowing from inside, pointing at the warehouse and shouting loudly.

"Oh no, put out the fire, quick!"

"If we can't put out this fire, our lives are done for!"

A person resembling a small boss followed the sound, flung his cigarette butt to the ground.

Outside the warehouse, everything instantly descended into chaos.

While they were busy, a motorcade quickly drove up to the courtyard outside.

Two figures stepped down from the car, hurried to the warehouse gate, and stared in disbelief at the blazing warehouse before them.

They were none other than Hirata Jiro and Yu Kuntai.
