Chapter 154: It's all burnt, just cut it!

Chen Yongren immediately protected Fujiwara Kinta, moving toward the restaurant interior.

The gunman hid in a residential building 50 meters away.

That shot was dodged.

The main event was yet to come inside the restaurant.

Through his inner voice, Chen Yongren could hear that they were still ambushed inside the restaurant, though he didn't know which corner they were hiding in.

"Immediately check the surrounding high-rise buildings, call for reinforcements, seal off all exits, quick!" Takayanagi Hideyoshi shouted orders while holding his gun and observing the surroundings, at the same time moving toward the restaurant interior.

At his command, the Japanese military police immediately split into two teams.

One team guarded the restaurant perimeter to prevent any remaining enemies.

The other team moved toward a high-rise building several dozen meters away.

The rooftop of a residential building 50 meters away.

"You damn traitor, what luck!" the gunman in all-black clothes, seeing the assassination fail, slammed the ground hard; firing a second shot would surely be too late.

"Now we can only place all our hopes on the comrades lying in wait inside the restaurant."

Seeing Japanese troops moving toward his position, he hesitated not, picked up a spent shell from the ground, and quickly left the rooftop.

By then, Chen Yongren and the others had smoothly entered the restaurant; the Japanese military police at the entrance immediately shut the main door.

Because this was a secret meeting, only three Japanese military police were inside the restaurant.

Several waiters clung to their heads, crouched on the floor, trembling with fear.

"Chen Sang, thanks to you just now..." Fujiwara Kinta sat in a chair, patting his chest, still shaken.

Chen Yongren, meanwhile, pretended to comfort him from the side.

Takayanagi Hideyoshi also panted heavily from lingering fear, gripping his pistol, standing beside them, warily scanning the surroundings.

But before they could catch their breath.

The restaurant restroom door was then kicked open.

Hearing the commotion, the three Japanese military police all raised their guns aiming at the restroom; crackling gunfire suddenly erupted, and the restroom door instantly became riddled with holes.

The next second.

Another masked figure suddenly flashed out from behind the door of a storage closet in the restaurant corner, immediately followed by a burst of rapid gunfire.

"Bang bang bang~"

The three Japanese military police, caught off guard, were hit in succession and fell to the ground.

The glassware on the table was also shattered by bullets, fragments spraying outward.

Fujiwara Kinta reacted extremely quickly, immediately dropping to the ground.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Yongren felt a sudden, inexplicable fear.

Immediately after, a masked figure flashed out from the restroom as well, wielding a shotgun, firing several shots at Chen Yongren and the others.

"Officer Takayanagi, watch out!"

Sensing danger, Chen Yongren, seeing Takayanagi Hideyoshi right behind him, shifted his body slightly.

A bullet grazed Chen Yongren's right thigh, leaving a bloodstain; blood instantly soaked his leg.

The next moment.

Chen Yongren then heard a mournful howl.

"Ah!"

Takayanagi Hideyoshi fell to the ground, now clutching his blood-soaked crotch, lying on the floor rolling and wailing.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Chen Yongren feigned a furious expression, hastily drew his waist pistol, becoming a master of human outline, and fired several shots consecutively at the two Red Party members.

"Bang bang bang~"

Several successive gunshots suddenly rang out.

The commotion was quite loud, yet it didn't harm them in the slightest.

The Japanese soldiers outside, hearing the commotion inside the restaurant, rushed in one after another.

Seeing the assassination fail again, the two Red Party members, faces full of regret, without hesitation, fired to suppress the Japanese military police while running toward the restroom.

Seeing this, Chen Yongren again fired a few random shots toward the restroom door.

The restroom window can be dismantled; when I previously blew up the Japanese warship, I escaped that way, and I suppose they discovered this as well.

"Hurry and chase, we must catch that bunch of bastards!"

Glancing at the gravely wounded Takayanagi Hideyoshi and Chen Yongren, who was clutching his thigh wound beside him, Fujiwara Kinta pointed toward the restroom and said through gritted teeth.

He had reason to suspect that this assassination was aimed entirely at him; otherwise those guys wouldn't have caused such a commotion.

The assassination began suddenly and ended just as quickly.

Though it sounds long when described, the whole thing actually lasted only a minute or two.

Takayanagi Hideyoshi, having lost too much blood, had already fallen into a deep coma.

This was Fujiwara Kinta's most capable aide; he immediately arranged a vehicle to send him to the hospital.

Chen Yongren and Fujiwara Kinta, meanwhile, sat in a sedan, following behind.

"Chen Sang, how's your injury?" the now-idle Fujiwara Kinta asked, recalling his concern for Chen Yongren's wound.

Recalling the assassination attempt, if Chen Yongren hadn't protected him in time, he would have already gone to report to His Majesty Tianhuang.

Fujiwara Kinta's trust in Chen Yongren grew ever stronger.

"It's fine, Major His Excellency, just a minor wound; you're safe and sound, I don't mind receiving even more injuries." Chen Yongren said solemnly.

Originally Chen Yongren could have dodged the bullet, but to make the act more realistic, he still let himself get wounded.

Chen Yongren looked seriously injured, but in fact it was merely a scraped patch of skin.

The hospital said it would come, and it did.

Gao Liu Xiuji was immediately sent to the operating room.

Chen Yongren used his X-ray vision to take a look at Gao Liu Xiuji's wound.

How to put it.

Chen Yongren inexplicably recalled a line.

Just cut it off, it's all burnt…

Meanwhile, Tengyuan Jintai arranged another doctor to treat Chen Yongren's wound.

After confirming that Chen Yongren had only suffered a minor injury, he finally relaxed.

Although it was only a minor injury.

But the bandaging and disinfection were thorough.

"Chen Sang, I can't thank you enough; if it weren't for you just now, I truly wouldn't know what the consequences would be." Tengyuan Jintai took a deep breath and said.

'Assigning Chen Yongren as the leader of the 9th Operations Team was indeed the correct choice.'

'Based on his performance today, he is fully qualified to work under the Special Higher Police.'

'He must be promoted as soon as possible; with his abilities, he will surely shine in the 9th Team.'

Special Higher Police?

9th Team?

Chen Yongren's heart stirred; he instantly understood why this old devil had invited him to a meal.

This old thing, finally planning to make use of me again.

Being able to access the Special Higher Police means a chance to touch even more confidential documents!

"Major His Excellency, you overpraise me." Chen Yongren bowed slightly, solemnly saying: "This is merely my duty as a subordinate."

Hearing that, Tengyuan Jintai was deeply moved and looked toward the doctor.

The doctor was also tactful, saying nothing unnecessary, and immediately found an excuse to slip out.

"Major…" Chen Yongren also wanted to take the opportunity to tell Tengyuan Jintai about his contact with Yugong Heren in the Chinese Realm.

I need to pass useful information to Yugong Heren, and the same should apply to Tengyuan Jintai.

"Chen Sang, I know your loyalty; don't speak yet, just listen to me." Tengyuan Jintai reached out and patted Chen Yongren's shoulder.

Alright, I'll listen.

Although I knew what he wanted to say, Chen Yongren still put on an attentive posture.

"Major His Excellency, please speak."
