Chapter 230: Scan Eye Upgrades Again

Wait a moment.

A sound came from inside the house; soon after, the door opened a crack.

A pair of eyes peered out through the crack.

Chen Yongren seized the moment and kicked the door open.

"Thud!"

The guy behind the door was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.

Chen Yongren quickly slipped inside and shut the door.

"Who's there!"

Hearing the commotion at the door, Wang Xiaonian inside instantly drew his pistol, but his combat experience was clearly lacking; he actually walked straight toward the doorway.

Seeing the unconscious Wang Xiaonian and then the stranger standing in the room, Wu Haiquan blinked in surprise.

When he reacted and tried to raise his gun to shoot, Chen Yongren had already stepped forward first, punching his gun away and then swinging a punch at Wu Haiquan's head.

"Bang!"

Wu Haiquan felt as if his head had been struck by a huge hammer, swaying twice before collapsing limp on the spot.

Almost at the same time.

Chen Yongren heard a system prompt tone.

【Mission Completed: Capture the Shanghai Hanjian】

【Personnel Losses: 0】

System reward: 【Scan Eye lv4】

【Congratulations, Master, skill upgrade successful, 'Scan Eye' has successfully reached level 5】

【Scan Eye LV5】: Master can use Scan Eye to obtain target's preferences and resume, access more information, and fully understand one's opponent.

Seeing the upgraded Scan Eye, Chen Yongren instantly felt energized—could he view more information about the target?

Anyway, there are two people right in front of him; since they're not dead yet, it's a good chance to let them expend their remaining energy.

Chen Yongren immediately looked at Wu Haiquan and Wang Xiaonian.

Name: Wu Haiquan.

Gender: Male.

Age: 38.

Nationality: China·Jinzhou.

Skills: Chinese, Japanese, English.

Likes: money, women, power, small car.

Current Position: Deputy Secretary-General of the Chongqing Political Participation Conference.

Current situation: Under the evil might of the Japanese imperialists, their superiors feared Japan; after receiving a letter from Japanese attempting to sway them, they are now trying to make contact to seek greater gains.

Resume:

…

Father: Wu Xiliang, Mother: Lin Xiuzhen.

1900: Wu Haiquan was born into an ordinary farmer's family in China·Jinzhou.

1909: Wu Haiquan studied at a private school in his hometown.

1911: Upon hearing about the revolutionary army, young as he was, though naive, he voluntarily had his queue cut, for which his father beat him.

Inspired by Mr. Liang's 'Young China' talk, he resolved to strive for self-improvement, gain more knowledge, serve the country, and eliminate domestic backwardness.

During this period he studied diligently, worked hard and lived frugally, preparing for future college entrance exams.

1919: Wu Haiquan successfully entered Nanjing Higher Normal School; influenced by the movement of the year, he felt that mere study could not change the nation's fate, so he prepared to join the army.

1924: Wu Haiquan applied to Whampoa Military Academy but failed; nevertheless he never gave up, and after four consecutive rejections he abandoned the idea of attending a military academy.

December 6, 1926: By a stroke of luck, Wu Haiquan passed the exam, smoothly entered National Government work, met Mr. Wang, and started as the lowest-ranking clerk.

1931: Already serving as a secretary in the Executive Yuan Secretariat, Wu Haiquan learned of Japan's invasion of the four northeastern provinces and felt fear of Japan for the first time.

……

Good fellow.

Seeing that long list of resume, Chen Yongren inevitably felt dizzy.

The damn system completely dug up all eighteen generations of Wu Haiquan's ancestors.

From the resume, this damn thing was quite good in his early years; he was a young man with ideals and ambitions.

But looking now, he, like his backer, fears the Japanese imperialists' evil might and has gradually become a spineless surrenderist.

Chen Yongren also looked at Wang Xiaonian.

Name: Wang Xiaonian

Gender: Male.

Age: 35.

Nationality: China·Chongqing.

Skills: Literary talent.

Likes: money, women, house.

Current Position: Chief Secretary of the Chongqing Political Participation Conference.

Current Situation: Same as Wu Haiquan.

Resume: Father: Wang Tianjin, Mother: Zeng Juan.

1903: Wang Xiaonian was born into a merchant family in the Sichuan-Chongqing region.

……

Wang Xiaonian's resume and Wu Haiquan are completely different.

This guy had a privileged childhood, but due to the Ji'nian war turmoil, his family fell into decline.

He was unwilling to spend the second half of his life in hardship, nor did he want to see this broken giant ship named China, drifting in the storm.

Wang Xiaonian relied on his passion to strive upward, change his predicament, eventually succeeded in entering politics, and thereafter met Mr. Wang.

Under his patronage, starting from a low-level clerk, he gradually entered the gates of the Executive Yuan.

Early on, Wang Xiaonian indeed had lofty ideals, wrote many articles, even got published in newspapers, but under the Japanese's tyranny, he ultimately sank into the abyss.

Their experiences likewise warn Chen Yongren; taking them as a mirror, he must not follow in their footsteps.

After reviewing the resume, Chen Yongren turned his head to look at the two people on the ground.

Sending them back to Chongqing is not particularly difficult.

But Chen Yongren clearly knows that the Wang surname's foundation is deep; relying only on these two guys cannot substantially affect him, and might even alert the enemy.

We must keep these two to prepare evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason, to remind the National Government, so they have a mental preparation.

Chen Yongren directly kicked them awake, with mental control activated, he had them write a confession, sign their names, and affix their private seals.

With the confession in hand, the two naturally lost their value; Chen Yongren directly disposed of them harmlessly.

To increase credibility, Chen Yongren also stored their private seals together in the warehouse.

Next, Chen Yongren searched the house again and found a handwritten letter of appeasement written by the old Japanese devil Tsuchihira to Mr. Wang.

Unfortunately.

Not much use.

At most it can let people know that the little Japanese are preparing to appease him, which is also an affirmation of his ability.

But having something is better than nothing.

Subsequently, Chen Yongren directly took out a radio, installed batteries, completed the procedure, removed some unexplainable details, and sent a telegram to headquarters.

Reported that he had eliminated two Chongqing traitors, discovered a secret letter of appeasement, and that the enemy was preparing to send someone to Xianggang to turn against Director Ding.

The boss Dai, far in Chongqing, was greatly shocked upon receiving Chen Yongren's telegram.

He immediately realized that this matter was already beyond his control; Boss Dai immediately decided to first report upward, and only after receiving a response from above would he reply to Chen Yongren by phone.

The family has already received it; they will carefully verify whether this message is true. This matter must be kept strictly confidential; must not be publicized, otherwise they will face severe punishment without mercy.

Seeing this sentence, Chen Yongren, although anxious, also couldn't say much.

Speaking too much leads to mistakes; the people involved in this case are definitely not something the Songhu District Chief can meddle with.

Chen Yongren can only hope the National Government pays more attention; not expecting to find anything, at least make preparations to respond.

Second point.

Then Lin Dafu and the new members of Songhu District have smoothly arrived in Songhu; Chen Yongren needs to go to the target location to meet with Lin Dafu.
