Chapter 167: Exposed?

"Oh?" Chen Yongren said delightedly: "What news?"

Fujiwara Rina, thinking as she spoke, said: "Before I left, I heard Kinta seemingly on the phone with Shuji-kun, saying that they were preparing an internal review soon and must keep it secret."

Internal review?

Chen Yongren's expression did not change.

It seems Boss Dai's arrest operation in Chongqing went smoothly, dealing another heavy blow to the Japanese intelligence network.

Otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't have hastily launched an internal review.

The term "internal review" sounds nice.

It's just about catching spies.

If we can get through this hurdle, I believe Fujiwara Kinta will trust me even more.

"Rina, this news you brought is truly important." Chen Yongren said seriously: "It's a pity Yuko is also here; otherwise I would definitely reward you well."

Fujiwara Rina, however, tied up her hair and gave a charming smile: "Then let Chen Sang first check whether I've been slacking lately, point out anything wrong, and remember to correct me."

At first, she was still somewhat unfamiliar and nervous.

But under Chen Yongren's careful guidance, Fujiwara Rina's pen-holding posture became increasingly skilled, her technique increasingly proficient, and she knew to ask about anything she didn't understand.

Fujiwara Rina studied diligently; she only stopped when her hands grew sore, and the paper was already filled with her learning achievements.

The old saying is indeed true.

One sowing, one reaping; as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.

Fujiwara Rina is a hardworking woman; to strengthen her memory, she studied a few more times, stopping only after her daughter taught Hua Lei how to make dorayaki.

The mother and daughter reluctantly bade farewell to Chen Yongren.

Evening.

Chen Yongren then received the good news from Boss Dai.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, even though separated by a radio, Chen Yongren could feel Boss Dai's delight.

In summary.

In the Party Affairs Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau, a total of 16 Japanese spies were captured alive; after a day of brutal torture, they could no longer endure and revealed everything they knew.

Moreover, thanks to the intelligence provided by Chen Yongren, the Military Intelligence Bureau successfully intercepted a military intelligence transmission about to be sent out, greatly mitigating the National Government's losses.

The old man grew ever fonder of Chen Yongren.

Boss Dai also grew ever more satisfied with Chen Yongren.

Of course.

Most importantly, because Chen Yongren timely discovered the Japanese spies, he salvaged the Military Intelligence Bureau's reputation, leaving only the Party Affairs Bureau as the embarrassed party.

The purpose of Boss Dai's call.

First, to inform Chen Yongren of this good news.

Second, naturally, to give a commendation.

But for secrecy, the commendation recipient cannot be announced publicly.

The old man's handwritten commendation letter and the specially bestowed Zhongzheng Sword were also temporarily sealed away by Boss Dai.

Awaiting the day of victory in the war, the old man will personally reward Chen Yongren at the victory celebration assembly.

Damn, it's just empty promises.

Chen Yongren, having heard such talk many times, casually replied with a few pleasantries, then stored the radio in the system warehouse.

……

Fujiwara Kinta was likewise busy writing furiously.

Because Takayanagi Shuji was injured and hospitalized, he now could only devise the plan himself.

As Fujiwara Kinta was busy, the telephone on his desk suddenly rang.

"Speak." Fujiwara Kinta held the receiver in one hand, speaking concisely.

"Major His Excellency, after several days of reconnaissance, we have basically confirmed the approximate location of the radio." The voice on the other end carried a hint of excitement.

"What!" Fujiwara Kinta stopped writing, jumped up excitedly, and exclaimed: "What did you say? You've already confirmed the approximate location of the radio?"

"Hai!"

"Send the report over immediately, immediately!" Fujiwara Kinta shouted into the receiver.

Finally, the day has arrived!

After this mysterious radio appeared in Songhu, the damage it suffered grew increasingly severe.

First, the train station warehouse was bombed; then, the supplies traded with the United States were looted; even their heavily guarded warships were blown up.

Up to now, they still don't know who did these things, nor which faction these people belong to.

This radio is as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

Now, finally, the time has come to solve the mystery.

Fujiwara Kinta no longer has the inclination to write any internal investigation plan.

Who exactly is behind the radio?

Red Party?

Military Intelligence Bureau?

Or the Party Affairs Bureau.

No matter which faction it is, we must surely root it out completely!

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden urgent knocking sounded outside the study.

"Come in, quickly!" Fujiwara Kinta urged impatiently.

The door pushed open, and a lieutenant hurried over holding a folder.

"Da..." Lieutenant just wanted to salute, but was interrupted by Teng Yuan Jintai: "Enough, report, quickly give me the report!"

"Hai!" Lieutenant straightened up and immediately handed the document to Teng Yuan Jintai.

Teng Yuan Jintai couldn't wait to take the document, quickly scanned its content, and when his gaze fell on the specific location of the radio station, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"What?"

The approximate location of the radio station is actually on the street where Chen Yongren lives.

How could this happen?

Teng Yuan Jintai furrowed his brows.

This is too much of a coincidence, right?

Why isn't it someone else, but specifically near Chen Yongren's home?

Teng Yuan Jintai keenly sensed something was off, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his chin.

Thinking back to that day at the Duke's French Restaurant, Chen Yongren risked his life to save me.

If it weren't for Chen Yongren's quick reflexes, I would have been dead already.

Could this kind of person be an undercover agent sent by the National Government?

Seeing Teng Yuan Jintai not speaking.

The Japanese lieutenant looked at Teng Yuan Jintai and asked cautiously, "Major His Excellency, is there any problem with this report?"

Teng Yuan Jintai, however, impatiently waved his hand, sending the lieutenant away.

Chen Yongren risked his life to save me; this certainly doesn't seem like an act, but since his home is near the radio station, this matter cannot be taken lightly.

Looking at the report on the desk, Teng Yuan Jintai suddenly had an idea.

First thing tomorrow, summon Chen Yongren!

Want to test whether Chen Yongren has any issues? Actually it's very simple.

Summon him.

Tell Chen Yongren a piece of information that only he knows.

If there is any problem with the location of that information, we can immediately arrest Chen Yongren.

If everything is safe and sound.

Then it's just a misunderstanding, and I can continue to trust Chen Yongren!

Teng Yuan Jintai originally wanted to send people to surveil Chen Yongren.

But if Chen Yongren is indeed a spy lurking in Songhu, rashly sending people to follow him—if he discovers them and sends him on some mission—

Wouldn't that be telling him that we've found out he has a problem?

After thinking it over, Teng Yuan Jintai finally gave up that idea.

Only if everything remains normal is it most trustworthy!

The next day.

Chen Yongren came to the police station as usual.

He had just sat down when he hadn't yet opened the newspaper.

The telephone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Chen Yongren picked up the telephone.

"Chen Sang, come to the Special Agency right away." Teng Yuan Jintai's voice sounded.

Huh?

Why are you looking for me now?

What does Old Devil Fujiwara want to do?

Although Chen Yongren had doubts in his heart, he still accepted the order and went to the Songhu Special Agency.
