Chapter 168: How could this be?

"Chen Sang, whether you have any problems will be seen in your performance from now on."

"I hope this is just a misunderstanding, and you have no connection whatsoever with that damned radio."

"If you truly disappoint my expectations, I will certainly not go easy on you."

Suddenly.

Two voices echoed in Chen Yongren's ears.

Huh?

Radio?

Damn it!

Chen Yongren's heart jolted—how did the little devils already figure out the general range of the radio?

Damn it.

Fortunately, with the Insight skill in hand, I had foreseen the danger.

From Fujiwara Chota's tone, it sounded like he wanted to dig a pit for himself to jump into.

But now that I know Fujiwara Chota's thoughts, Chen Yongren isn't afraid either, and he quickly went to Fujiwara Chota's office.

"Chen Sang, long time no see, how have you been lately?" Fujiwara Chota made a gesturing invitation, smiling narrowly, and asked: "Does the gunshot wound still hurt?"

Although Fujiwara Chota was smiling, no matter how Chen Yongren looked at him, he was just putting on a fake smile.

"At first, Akita kept suspecting Chen Yongren of having a problem, even went to search his house, but found no trace of the radio."

"Either Chen Yongren hid the radio very well, or he is completely innocent."

Naturally, I'm awesome—I hid the radio in the system warehouse.

Even if you turn Songhu upside down, you won't find where the radio is.

After seeing Fujiwara Chota sit down, Chen Yongren then took a seat, his expression unchanged, and said: "Thank you for your concern, Commander Fujiwara—it's just a minor injury, nothing serious anymore."

Not only am I fine, I'm also helping you blaze a trail.

Unfortunately, my starting point is the endpoint you could never reach in a lifetime.

Fujiwara Chota nodded satisfactorily and got straight to the point: "Chen Sang, I have an important task for you to undertake."

"Please give the order, Major His Excellency." Chen Yongren sprang to his feet, stood at attention, and bowed deeply: "I will do my utmost to carry out your orders."

Very good.

Seeing Chen Yongren's expression, Fujiwara Chota smiled and nodded: "We've transported a batch of medicine into port through a special channel."

"How important is the medicine? I'm sure you know full well."

Chen Yongren nodded and said: "Of course, medicine is currently the most scarce resource; if those rebel forces find out, they will stop at nothing to seize this batch."

"Even if they can't steal it, they'll surely destroy this batch of medicine, Major His Excellency—we must safeguard this medicine at all costs."

We must absolutely not let that bunch of bastards destroy it.

Fujiwara Chota nodded: "That's exactly why I called you here."

"Huh?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance.

"You know, Songhu has seen a lot lately—not only has supplies been looted, but even the Locust Army warship was blown up." Fujiwara Chota said indignantly.

"I suspect the location where the medicine is stored has been leaked; I propose that Section Chief Qichuan Gong immediately change the warehouse location."

"But he doesn't care, thinking I'm overthinking it."

"So I urgently need an outstanding talent to covertly protect the medicine's safety, lest this affair be screwed up again by those idiots in the Military Police."

Having said that, Fujiwara Chota turned to Chen Yongren: "Chen Sang, this important task is now yours—can you handle it?"

"Chen Yongren, you never expected this, did you? This is false information."

"All the information is fake; the so-called warehouse is merely a trap, and this intel is known only to you."

"As soon as that radio's signal appears after you return home, I'll arrest you on the spot!"

"No, not just you—once you decide to act, I'll arrest all of you."

"No problem, Major His Excellency." Chen Yongren, without hesitation, asked: "When should I go to the warehouse, and where is it located?"

"The cargo is in Warehouse 25 at Jiahe Port, Chen Sang—this mission is extremely important; you must not let me down." Fujiwara Chota's expression was stern.

"Remember, you only need to stay on the periphery; you don't need to get too close, lest you cause unnecessary trouble and end up losing more than you gain."

"Thank you for the reminder, Commander Fujiwara—I'll remember!" Chen Yongren hastily rose to his feet, stood at attention, and bowed deeply.

"Yo, no time to waste—get back and prepare right away." Fujiwara Chota waved his hand.

"Yes!" Chen Yongren rose and quickly left the Songhu Special Agency.

This old fox is pretty cunning.

He hinted that the location of my medicine might have been leaked, hoping I'd let my guard down—even if someone really tried to seize the medicine, it would have nothing to do with me.

But in reality, only I know that the "medicine" is stored in Warehouse 25.

Once Warehouse 25 is looted, I'll be stuck with the blame, no matter what.

If it weren't for the Insight skill in hand, letting me anticipate what old devil Fujiwara was thinking, I might really have fallen for it.

After all, the temptation of the medicine is just too great.

A small box of medicine might be tolerable, but a large quantity of medicine is not so easy to bear.

But now.

With all my skills, do you lot of little devils still think you can bully me?

And still dreaming of entrapment—fat chance.

But the fact that the little devils have noticed the radio issue means we can't just ignore it.

If it weren't for old devil Fujiwara's sudden probe, I wouldn't have known—the little devils' sweep of radio signals is already reaching my doorstep.

They say it's luck, but all this stems from Chen Yongren's earlier outstanding performance—especially at the Duke Fa Restaurant, where he saved Fujiwara Chota twice and earned his trust.

Wait until the wind dies down; we must definitely place this radio somewhere other than home and let it sound for a while.

No.

Yes, each location in Songhu must sound for a while to confuse their investigative direction.

Chen Yongren hurriedly returned home.

"Brother, why did you come home so early today?" Seeing Chen Yongren walk in, Hua Lei, who was reading, felt a bit strange.

"I have something to attend to; I'll come back for a moment."

Chen Yongren gave a casual reply, changed into casual clothes in his room, then quickly left home, leaving Hua Lei with a puzzled expression.

To clear himself of suspicion, he only needs to behave normally under Japanese surveillance.

Anyway, this is just a test.

As long as the radio doesn't sound and the warehouse is safe, he can easily pass.

Chen Yongren, following the address, arrived near cargo warehouse No. 25, chose a concealed spot, and secretly observed the warehouse.

……

Songhu Special Agency.

A lieutenant and a second lieutenant were reporting to Fujiwara Chikata.

"What did you say? That radio's signal hasn't appeared again so far?" Fujiwara Chikata asked the lieutenant.

"Hai." The Japanese lieutenant replied, standing at attention.

Could it be that it's not Chen Yongren?

Fujiwara Chikata then turned to the second lieutenant and asked: "Where is Chen Yongren now?"

Chen Yongren is strictly carrying out your order, secretly protecting the warehouse's safety.

Upon hearing that, Fujiwara Chikata's eyes lit up.

As of now, that radio truly has nothing to do with Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren doesn't have any mind-reading ability; how could he possibly know this is a trap?

……

Three chapters released in succession, first posted then revised.

Also, regarding those three chapters from yesterday, the content felt a bit off, so I've revised them a little; brothers who have read them, please go back and take a look.
