Chapter 166: Internal Investigation

Yugong Heren wore a constipated expression and didn't dare say more.

Not long after the Action Team was formed, a mole appeared and caused such a serious leak; he cannot avoid responsibility.

Tengyuan Jintai kept his head down, remaining silent, and secretly felt relieved that this matter occurred in Yugong's Action Team and had little to do with him.

"General, please rest assured, I, your humble servant, will surely investigate this matter promptly to comfort the spirits of the fallen warriors!" Yugong Heren's expression was solemn as he stood and bowed deeply.

Since it's already happened, we can't be stubborn; honestly admitting fault is the right way.

Upon hearing this, Xichuan Gong Xiucai's expression softened a little; although he was angry, Yugong Heren was after all his confidant.

"We must investigate this promptly and give the military an explanation; we cannot stand by and watch a dozen or so imperial elites die heroically while we are powerless!"

"Hai!" Yugong Heren quickly stood at attention.

Tengyuan Jintai said: "Section Chief, since the enemy, after we successfully intercepted the list, transmitted it again, this can only mean one thing."

"We still have a mole inside; otherwise, how could the enemy possibly locate Mr. Heita so precisely?"

"Mr. Heita is a member of the Dandelion Plan; his outward identity is simply that of a Chinese person—even in Songhu, only we three know that!"

At this moment, Chen Yongren, who did not wish to reveal his name and was happily slacking off at the police station, sneezed.

As he spoke, Tengyuan Jintai glanced, intentionally or not, at Yugong Heren.

At a time like this, if you don't add insult to injury, how can you face yourself?

"Tengyuan, what do you mean?" Yugong Heren said warily.

Tengyuan Jintai's words came rapid-fire: "Mr. Heita's sudden death gives me reason to believe that there is more than just Liang Keda as a mole in your Action Team."

"If such leaks happen several more times, how many of our warriors can withstand their arrests, and how can the Dandelion Plan still be carried out?"

"Not only your Action Team, but the Special Agency must also re-examine its personnel to ensure no internal problems arise!"

"Tengyuan!" Yugong Heren exploded in rage.

"Enough, you two stop arguing!" Xichuan Gong Xiucai said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately fell silent.

"What Tengyuan-kun says makes sense; to ensure the safety of our intelligence department, we need to conduct an internal investigation." Xichuan Gong Xiucai said in a low voice.

"Yes, General." Yugong Heren replied helplessly.

After saying that, Xichuan Gong Xiucai said no more, got in a car and left the Songhu Special Agency.

Tengyuan Jintai and Yugong Heren exchanged a glance, both snorted coldly, returned to their respective work areas, and each began preparing for the internal investigation.

Of course.

To keep it secret, this matter was not publicized; only the core personnel of each side knew.

The Ninth Group's office area was still under renovation, the police station had nothing to do, and Chen Yongren happily slacked off through the day.

He left work on time, never working overtime.

……

"Mm, I don't know how Chen Sang's injury is—whether it's serious or not."

"Mother is also here, so I can't say many things to Chen Sang."

"Yuzi is always by my side, making many things inconvenient to do—she's like a burden."

"Ah, I am truly a failed mother—how could I think this way about my own daughter?"

……

Before he even reached home, Chen Yongren heard a stream of thoughts.

The Tengyuan mother and daughter?

In my memory, those two women haven't appeared together on screen for a long time.

"Madame Tengyuan, Yuzi, how did you two come together?" Chen Yongren walked over and smiled.

The two women seemed to be carrying many things, just about to knock on the door.

"You used to call me Linai," Tengyuan Linai said with a wistful look, thinking of her daughter also being there, she quickly hid her expression.

"I heard from Jintai that you were injured while saving him, so we came especially to visit you."

"Chen Sang, how is your injury? I heard you were shot." Yuzi said, full of worry: "Thank you so much—if it weren't for you, I might have lost my father."

"Losing him wouldn't be so bad—he's just a useless good-for-nothing," Linai thought.

But soon, she was frightened by her own bold thought.

That woman.

Not only is she immoral, she's actually depraved.

"Thank you for your concern, Madame and Yuzi—it's just a few minor injuries, nothing serious. Hurry, come in and sit." Chen Yongren smiled, took the gifts from their hands, and called Hua Lei to open the door.

The door opened, and the three entered the house.

Hua Lei brought three cups of tea, then quietly concealed herself.

"Chen Sang, speaking of which, our family of three has all been saved by you." Linai smiled: "This really is a unique bond."

Don't talk nonsense.

We're just lip-service friends—what kind of fate is there?

Yuzi also wore a look of lingering fear: "Yeah, Chen Sang, just hearing about it makes me feel scared; seeing you unharmed, I finally put my mind at ease."

"Chen Sang, this is a little token of our feelings." Linai pointed to the gifts and then produced a check from her pocket, handing it to Chen Yongren.

"Chen Sang, this is a check for 2,000 yen, cashable at any bank—please be sure to accept it."

Yuzi also nodded in agreement.

Chen Yongren no longer declined, and while taking the check, he lightly scratched Linai's palm.

Linai's cheeks instantly flushed with two rosy patches.

Her daughter is still here…

Fujiwara Yuko didn't notice her mother's oddness, opened a box and said, "Chen Sang, this is a homemade pancake."

I promised to make it for you earlier—come on, try it and see how it tastes!

Chen Yongren casually picked up a pancake.

The two soft slices of bread were still warm, filled with cream; a light squeeze revealed the bread's elasticity, and the thick filling oozed out under pressure.

White, sticky, and dripping everywhere.

Putting a bite in the mouth, the unique cream fragrance exploded.

"Chen Sang." Fujiwara Yuko looked at Chen Yongren with anticipation and asked, "How does the pancake taste?"

"The taste is great, thank you for your effort, Yuko." Chen Yongren smiled.

Seeing Fujiwara Rina's hesitant expression, after carefully probing her thoughts, it turned out she had received some news, but couldn't speak plainly because her daughter was present.

"Yuko." Chen Yongren looked at Fujiwara Yuko.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Yuko was puzzled.

"Your pancakes are delicious; could you teach Hua Lei?" Chen Yongren smiled.

"Um..." Fujiwara Yuko fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly nodded: "No problem."

"Hua Lei." Chen Yongren didn't turn back.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Hua Lei quickly appeared.

"Chen Sang really likes pancakes; I'll teach you how to make them." Fujiwara Yuko said.

Under Hua Lei's guidance, the two girls headed to the kitchen.

After confirming they had left, Fujiwara Rina said solemnly, "Chen Sang, I've gotten some more news from near the mouth."
