Chapter 20

Chen Yongren suddenly thought of what Hong Die had said: the East China Special Higher Police Division Chief Chuan Shan Jia is currently hiding in Upon the Sea, responsible for all espionage activities in East China.

The remaining Japanese spies in Gold Mound have all relocated to Upon the Sea; this bunch surely has a big move.

Now the problem is back to square one.

Although Chen Yongren knows the Japanese spies' upcoming operation code name, he still needs to get Li Bohui to voluntarily confess.

Li Bohui, that is this Japanese spy's Chinese name.

Otherwise Chen Yongren cannot explain the source of the intelligence.

All Chen Yongren can do now is to expose him when he prepares to lie, ensuring his statement is completely accurate.

"A Ren, how are you going to interrogate him?" Seeing Chen Yongren not speaking, Zhang Haifeng felt anxious and urged.

Before Chen Yongren could speak, the Japanese spy before him slightly raised his head and sneered: "I advise you two to give up early; don't waste time on me."

"No matter what method you use to interrogate me, I will not speak; as a warrior, the most important quality is loyalty!"

He said that, but what Li Bohui was thinking was.

"These two guys in front of us are so young; they definitely don't have much interrogation experience."

"I just need to stimulate them a little, and they will surely get anxious and angry!"

"I must find a way to provoke these two Chinese pigs, so that they kill me during the interrogation."

Seeing through Li Bohui's inner thoughts, Chen Yongren sneered.

"You think these two sentences can anger us?"

"Killing you would only dirty my hands."

"How does he know what I'm thinking?" Li Bohui's expression showed surprise, but he quickly calmed down.

"Maybe it's just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, deliberately deceiving me."

"No matter how good they are, they're just two idiots lacking interrogation experience."

"If I just leak a bit of false information, they will surely be delighted to take it to their superiors to claim credit."

"Are you thinking of using what false information to fool me?" Chen Yongren said abruptly, making Li Bohui's heart tighten unexpectedly, and he subconsciously thought.

"How could he possibly know what I'm thinking?"

"Because I've seen too many idiots like you who think they're clever." Chen Yongren looked at Li Bohui as if looking at an idiot.

"From now on, you'd better not act clever, or I will definitely make you regret it!"

Li Bohui's heart jolted; this was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation, and Chen Yongren's eyes seemed able to see through his inner thoughts, causing his mental defenses to loosen somewhat.

"My Japanese name is Yan Tian Yi Lang." Yan Tian Yi Lang thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said.

"Affiliated with the East China Special Higher Police Division, leader of the High Mountain Team, rank of lieutenant."

"Continue." After confirming that Yan Tian Yi Lang's testimony was fine, Chen Yongren said.

"Because your arrest operation in Gold Mound caused our intelligence network to suffer heavy damage, Chuan Shan Jia, that is, the East China Special Higher Police Division Chief."

He ordered us to cease all espionage activities and wait for awakening in order to protect the remaining spy forces of the East China Special Higher Police.

Iwata Ichiro glanced cautiously at Chen Yongren.

These two guys can't read minds; they definitely wouldn't expect that we still have an operation coming up in Shanghai.

As long as I can delay until the Rainstorm Operation proceeds smoothly, even if the plot is exposed and I'm executed by the Chinese, it'll be worth it!

Seeing through Iwata Ichiro's ulterior motive, Chen Yongren pointed at him and said coldly, "No, you damn liar!"

"I'm already like this; is there any need to lie to you?" Iwata Ichiro tried to make his expression look sincere.

"A Ren, what's wrong with him?" Zhang Haifeng asked, puzzled: "Their identities have already been leaked; isn't it normal for them to go into silent mode?"

"That's where the problem lies!" Chen Yongren sneered.

"The Nanjing spy network has suffered a heavy blow; what the remaining spies should do is withdraw from Nanjing to avoid being betrayed by their comrades, rather than foolishly staying in Nanjing to wait for death!"

"Most importantly, this idiot was arrested at the train station."

"If he really intended to go silent, how could he possibly buy a train ticket?"

Iwata Ichiro's heart tightened.

His purpose in lying was to keep the Military Intelligence Bureau's focus on Nanjing, buying time for his comrades far away in Shanghai to carry out the Rainstorm Operation.

But Iwata Ichiro never expected that Chen Yongren's thoughts would be so meticulous, instantly spotting the loophole in his words.

What was even more unexpected was yet to come.

"Do you really think this can divert our attention and buy time for the spy operations in Shanghai?" Chen Yongren said coldly.

"How do you know it's Shanghai?" Iwata Ichiro exclaimed in shock.

Could this guy actually have mind-reading abilities?

"I've told you before, don't be clever!"

Chen Yongren gave Iwata Ichiro no chance to resist, directly letting him go.

After undergoing water torture several times back and forth, and then repeatedly having Chen Yongren guess his thoughts correctly, Iwata Ichiro's psyche was on the verge of collapse.

Upon again meeting Chen Yongren's icy gaze, Iwata Ichiro's heart jolted, and he hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk—ask me anything and I'll tell you!"

He had severely underestimated the ferocity of the young man before him.

Not only was he ferocious, he was downright brutal and inhumane—he was nothing short of a demon.

No, even a demon would be a hundred times more merciful than him.

"Rainstorm, it's the Rainstorm Operation!" Iwata Ichiro shouted.

Chen Yongren stared fixedly at Iwata Ichiro and shouted sternly, "What is the Rainstorm Operation? What are the specific details of the mission!"

Iwata Ichiro shook his head and said, "Because the Nanjing spy network has been leaked, everyone in the Special Higher Police is in danger, and we're all thinking about where to hide."

"It was then that I received the Pangolin, ordering me to go to Shanghai and await the coded message for executing the Rainstorm Operation."

"I don't know the specific details either; as a fellow agent, you surely know the rules—my team and I didn't even manage to escape, so how could the section chief possibly tell me the mission specifics?"

Even if I say it, you definitely won't believe it.

Where is Chuan Shan Jia now, how much do you know about him, you've arrived in Upon Sea, how will you contact him, and who is your superior again? Chen Yongren asked again.

How many agents has Chuan Shan Jia actually transferred to Upon Sea?!

The section chief is currently hiding in Upon Sea; he is a very cautious person, I also don't know his identity in Upon Sea, nor do I know what he looks like, let alone know where he is.

He said that only after the war victory will he celebrate together with us.

My superior is the section chief of the Upon Sea Special Higher Section; he is the owner of the Auspicious Harmony Bookstore in the French Concession.

As for the rest, I truly don't know anymore; you must believe me.

Having exhausted the information known by Iwata Ichiro, Chen Yongren also couldn't be bothered to deal with him further; using this confession, he continued interrogating the other Japanese spies.

Not long after, they all broke down; half of the senior agents mentioned the matter of Operation Heavy Rain.

But the specific details of the operation remain unknown.

After realizing that the Japanese spies were making a big move in Upon Sea, Chen Yongren immediately organized the confession, brought Zhang Haifeng back to the Action Section, and handed the confession over to Shen Mingchen.

You got it out of them this quickly?

While reviewing the confession regarding Iwata Ichiro and his associates, Shen Mingchen exclaimed in surprise.

How did you manage that?
