Chapter 187: Successful Framing

Chen Yongren quickly ran to Teng Yuan Jin Tai's side.

"You came at just the right time, hurry and come in, Agency Director Tu Fei Yuan Er is also inside the room." Teng Yuan Jin Tai lowered his voice: "Chen Sang, His Excellency Tu Fei Yuan Er does not see people easily."

"This is a great opportunity for you to rise to prominence; later, act according to my signal!"

"A signal?"

Chen Yongren raised his head and glanced at Teng Yuan Jin Tai.

The bean‑sized eyes were flashing with sharp light; at least the eyes could be seen.

"Yes, Major His Excellency, I understand." Chen Yongren replied immediately.

"Come in quickly with me." Teng Yuan Jin Tai led Chen Yongren into the room.

An old devil wearing a general's uniform stood inside the room.

Chen Yongren activated his scan eye, and a string of data appeared before him.

Looking at the photos Teng Yuan Jin Tai took out, Yu Gong He Ren trembled with anger: "Slander, this is clearly slander!"

"General His Excellency, I can guarantee it to you!"

"I have no so‑called bank account at Songhu Bank; I absolutely don't know these people in the photos."

Just as his words fell, a knocking sounded from outside the door.

Name: Tu Fei Yuan Er.

Gender: Male.

Age: 55.

Rank: Lieutenant General.

Native place: Riben Gangshan.

Current position: Agency Director Tu Fei Yuan Er.

Recent developments: 1) The leak case of the Dandelion Plan, plus the unknown identity of the weasel, have made Tu Fei Yuan Er unable to rest or eat; he wants to use Jing Shang Mansion to investigate his identity.

2) Due to recent gang turmoil in Songhu, Tu Fei Yuan Er feels the opportunity to control the gangs has arrived; he wants to pick an obedient gang spokesperson to assist the military in selling opium for military funds, then go to the concession to assassinate anti‑Japanese personnel.

This old devil dares to think such things!

Tu Fei Yuan Er.

A notorious war criminal, the first to be executed by hanging.

Just then, Teng Yuan Jin Tai said: "General His Excellency, this is the Chen Yongren I just mentioned."

Immediately, Teng Yuan Jin Tai looked at Chen Yongren, kindly spoke in Chinese: "Chen Sang, this is the Agency Director Tu Fei Yuan Er; hurry and greet him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren responded, then immediately stood at attention before Tu Fei Yuan Er and spoke in Japanese.

"General His Excellency."

Hearing Chen Yongren's proper and rounded Japanese, Tu Fei Yuan Er's eyes lit up: "You still know Japanese?"

"General His Excellency, Chen Sang has been diligently studying Japanese in order to better serve the Locust Army." Teng Yuan Jin Tai bowed slightly.

He has only been studying Japanese for a few months, yet his progress is great.

"Yo." Tu Fei Yuan Er nodded satisfied: "A Chinese person willing to settle down and study Japanese, and able to speak it so fluently, is truly not bad."

"Chen Sang, General His Excellency is praising you; hurry and thank him." Teng Yuan Jin Tai laughed.

"Hai!" Chen Yongren stood at attention: "Thank you, General His Excellency, for the praise."

Tu Fei Yuan Er then said: "Chen Yongren."

"Hai!" Chen Yongren stood at attention.

"I heard that when you joined Unit 9, you dismantled several hideouts of the Military Intelligence Bureau, successfully thwarting multiple assassination and sabotage attempts?" Tu Fei Yuan Er smiled and looked at Chen Yongren.

Teng Yuan Jin Tai stood beside Tu Fei Yuan Er, nodded slightly, and gestured with his eyes to Chen Yongren.

"I am merely striving to take Chief Officer Fujiwara as my example." Chen Yongren straightened slightly.

"Oh?" Tu Fei Yuan Er immediately became interested.

"Chief Officer Fujiwara works extremely hard, often working past midnight, never postponing to the next day; no matter how late, you can always find him." Chen Yongren glanced at Teng Yuan Jin Tai.

"Furthermore, since Chief Officer Fujiwara is so diligent, it naturally makes me reflect on why I cannot be like him."

"Under his guidance, I have learned many things; even when I encounter difficult matters at work, he tirelessly guides me until I learn."

"If it weren't for his constant prodding and urging from behind, I would not have progressed so quickly."

In the presence of one's superior's superior, one cannot merely boast about oneself; one must find a way to highlight the superior's role.

After all.

At present, the only person I frequently interact with is Teng Yuan Jin Tai; saying a couple of good words for him won't hurt.

Coaxing this old devil into happiness, transferring to a more central position can also better obtain intelligence.

Upon hearing this, Teng Yuan Jin Tai's eyes lit up, his gaze toward Chen Yongren shining brightly.

He originally wanted Chen Yongren to say that he himself was hardworking and willing to work for the Locust Army.

Then he could take the opportunity to bring up the matter of Yu Gong He Ren, drawing Tu Fei Yuan Er's attention.

Never did he expect Chen Yongren to say such a thing.

No wonder Li Na often praises Chen Yongren for being 'articulate' and good at making people happy.

Chen Sang really has good judgment.

Don't even mention it.

This really sounds pleasant to hear.

Having a capable subordinate who can also speak well is indeed very comfortable.

"Really?" Tu Fei Yuan Er looked at Teng Yuan Jin Tai.

"These are all part of my duties." Teng Yuan Jin Tai indirectly admitted this, then looked at Chen Yongren and feigned a scolding: "Chen Sang, don't bring up such talk in front of General His Excellency from now on."

The General is very concerned about his subordinates' health; A Ren't you making him worry?

Fujiwara Kinta, without changing his expression, flattered Tsuchihara Ji.

"Yes." Chen Yongren immediately stood at attention: "I, your humble servant, have spoken too much."

Fujiwara Kinta coughed lightly twice, then asked: "Chen Sang, did you just come back from Amamiya Kazuhito?"

Knowing Chen Yongren understands Japanese, he also didn't bother to use Chinese anymore, and incidentally could let Chen Yongren show his ability.

"Yes." Chen Yongren nodded and said: "I, your humble servant, have already, following your orders, told him about your secret coordination of supplies."

"That idiot Amamiya indeed fell for the trap, wanting me, your humble servant, to gather more information to tell him."

He said he wanted to gather more dirt on you, report it to the military, and also said he wanted to send all of you to prison.

"Damn!" Fujiwara Kinta's face darkened as he angrily asked: "What else did he say?"

Chen Yongren said: "He also said that with you bunch of bugs around, intelligence work can't be effective, and that we must purge you worms from the team."

Upon hearing this, Tsuchihara Ji, who had been smiling, instantly had his face turn cold.

"General, look, I said this guy is crazy." Fujiwara Kinta took the chance to fan the flames.

Chen Yongren, meanwhile, remained silent.

"This matter is just trouble for you and Chen Sang; remember, you must do it beautifully so those guys can't find an excuse." After Tsuchihara Ji threw down those words, he got up and left the office.

"Yes!"

Chen Yongren and Fujiwara Kinta simultaneously stood at attention.

After seeing Tsuchihara Ji leave, Fujiwara Kinta pulled out a seal from his pocket and said: "Chen Sang, go to Songhu Bank right away, use this token, and withdraw the funds inside."

Chen Yongren took the seal.

"Then deposit all the money into this account." Fujiwara Kinta then took out a slip of paper from his pocket, handed it to Chen Yongren, and said solemnly.

Remember, you must definitely disguise yourself; absolutely do not let anyone recognize you.

If the bank staff identify you, I won't be able to save you.

"I understand!" Chen Yongren stood at attention and said.

Once you've secured the money, go immediately find Amamiya Kazuhito.

Report to him that you overheard we are planning a new transaction!
