Chapter 169

Fujiwara Chikata's eyes flickered.

As of now, Chen Yongren has no problems.

But Fujiwara Chikata also didn't let his guard down; after ordering them to continue monitoring radio signals and closely surveilling Chen Yongren, he sent them away.

Only after tonight will Chen Yongren truly be considered to have passed the test.

The old devil was pleased with his own plan, unaware that Chen Yongren had immediately seen through his conspiracy; for now he was merely putting on a cooperative act.

Chen Yongren, knowing this was a trap, appeared vigilant on the surface, but inside he was wondering how to get more clues about the Dandelion Plan.

Back then, Kuroda Yuto spoke of activation.

Doesn't this show that there are still some Dandelion Plan members who haven't been activated?

If we don't get rid of them promptly, who knows how much trouble they could cause later.

When reporting to Fujiwara Chikata in the evening, we can try to get some information about the Dandelion Plan from this old devil.

After all.

The mind-control skill has undergone a new upgrade, with greater power and better effect; of course we should make good use of it.

Time quickly came to evening.

To avoid arousing Chen Yongren's suspicion, Fujiwara Chikata this old devil actually sent a convoy to transport supplies to the warehouse.

Through the mind link, this Japanese transport unit also genuinely believed they were transporting supplies.

Everything was just like the real thing.

Only after seeing the convoy disappear from sight did Chen Yongren leave the warehouse and head to Fujiwara the old devil's office to report.

When Chen Yongren saw Fujiwara Chikata again, the old devil's face was full of smiles: "Chen Sang, please sit, thank you for your hard work today."

"Prince Seikawa personally called; the medicine has been successfully shipped out."

That day, nothing happened, and Fujiwara Chikata grew even more reassured about Chen Yongren.

"My judgment was indeed correct; Chen Sang has no problems."

"From now on we can continue to trust Chen Sang and let him handle more tasks."

"Director Fujiwara, you flatter me; this is just my duty." Chen Yongren said, standing straight.

The radio matter has temporarily subsided.

What needs to be done next is to let the radio stay silent for a while.

When I am within their sight, let the radio signal suddenly appear to prove that I have nothing to do with the radio.

Chen Yongren looked at Fujiwara Chikata before him and quietly activated his mind-control skill.

Fujiwara Chikata, who had been smiling all over his face, suddenly had a dazed look in his eyes.

"Fujiwara Chikata, what exactly is your so-called Dandelion Plan? Who is heading it, and who else participated in drafting it?" Chen Yongren asked.

"Where are the current members of the Dandelion Plan hiding, and how do you activate them?"

"Aside from Kuroda Yuto's group, are there any others in training, and where is their training location?"

Fujiwara Chikata honestly said: "The Dandelion Plan is the highest-level espionage operation against China within the Army Ministry."

"The secrecy of this plan is very high; those who initially joined had at least the rank of colonel."

"I only learned of this plan after I was promoted to colonel."

"But I can only handle the outermost operations; I cannot touch the core."

"Seikawa Shusai seems to be one of the participants in this plan."

"As for who is heading it, exactly how many people are involved, how many batches, where they are currently hiding, and how to activate them—I have no clearance to know."

"I only know that the plan has been going on for a long time."

"Although I hold the rank of colonel, I only know of Kuroda Yuto as one agent in the Dandelion Plan."

That much is beyond doubt.

Kuroda Yuto said he has lived collectively with his companions since childhood.

He is now 26 years old, so the plan must have been going on for at least over twenty years.

"Continue." Chen Yongren asked again.

Kuroda Yuto's original mission was to lie low within the National Government, transmitting important military intelligence to us and the National Government's attitude toward Japan.

So that we can carry out targeted countermeasures to dispel the National Government's thoughts of resistance.

But then one day he was dispatched back to Songhu and became a member of the Party Affairs Bureau's Songhu Station.

Thus we wanted to use his identity to uncover the Party Affairs Bureau's, and even the Military Intelligence Bureau's, stations in Songhu.

This is roughly consistent with what Kuroda Yuto reported.

Chen Yongren asked a few more questions, but Fujiwara Chikata didn't know any of the answers.

If we want to dig deeper, we still need to look further up.

"What's going on with the internal investigation?" After temporarily putting down the dandelion, Chen Yongren asked again.

"Because Liang Keda stole the list of our agents hidden in Chongqing, we suspect there is still a mole inside." Fujiwara Kinta said.

"Especially since Kuroda Yuto clearly already dealt with him, intercepting the leaked list."

"But a higher‑rank agent hidden in Chongqing still reported that the Chongqing intelligence network suffered severe damage."

"Furthermore, Kuroda Yuto was originally an agent of the Party Affairs Department; logically, his identity should be very clean."

"But he was suddenly killed, and his body was dumped near the Special Agency, which deepened our suspicions, so we want to carry out a thorough internal purge."

"Of course."

"It would be even better if we could take the opportunity to weaken Amamiya Kazuto's strength."

"What is the identity of this higher‑rank agent, and where is he hiding?" Chen Yongren asked, speechless.

"He is hidden inside the Military Intelligence Department, dispatched by Qi Chuan Gong Xiuzai; I don't even know his exact position." Fujiwara Kinta said.

"Do you believe in Chen Yongren?" Chen Yongren asked.

"Chen Sang has already passed my test, and I now really believe him." Fujiwara Jinta again asked.

Since they had already controlled him, Chen Yongren also took the opportunity to interrogate him further, and unexpectedly actually got some useful information out of him.

Qichuan Gong Xiuzai was preparing to, in one week, at the Riben Consulate in Songhu, invite prominent figures from all walks of life to hold a banquet.

This is an opportunity to make contact with Qichuan Gong Xiuzai.

And this is the most important point.

Because recently Songhu has seen too many incidents, the Songhu Special Agency has been unable to find any leads,

Especially when three warships were bombed, making Qichuan Gong Xiuzai's days rather difficult.

His mental state also has serious problems; he needs to take tranquilizing sleeping pills every night to be able to sleep well.

This is a very useful clue; Chen Yongren felt a stir in his heart and lifted the mental control over Fujiwara Jinta.

Fujiwara Jinta regained consciousness, shook his head, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked: "Chen Sang, what just happened to me?"

"Reporting to Major His Excellency, you seemed to be thinking about something just now." Chen Yongren said: "I, your subordinate, feared disturbing you, so I didn't call you."

This shows the power of mental control—the controlled person notices nothing.

Fujiwara Jinta also didn't think much of it, praised Chen Yongren a bit, then sent him away.

Chen Yongren walked out of the Songhu Special Guard Agency.

Qichuan Gong Xiuzai.

This old bastard is currently the head of the Special Higher Police; since he's involved, maybe we can extract more information from him.
