Chapter 237: Each to Their Duty

We're not even feeling sorry for our subordinates, besides, it's just a female soldier; we've done it before, if she dies she dies, you write the report…

Heh.

Hearing this, Chen Yongren almost laughed out loud; this bastard is quite skilled at it—looks like he's done this plenty before.

Then don't blame me for killing to establish authority.

"Ren Ge, we're here!"

Just then, Zhang Haifeng brought several section chiefs rushing over in a panic.

The others were fine, but looking at Chen Yongren's eyes, they held a mix of doubt and anger.

Just a greenhorn kid, and he dares to demand we arrive within two minutes?

Those who didn't know thought the Japanese had arrived.

When Huang Qifa and Han Chen saw Chen Yongren, their eyes nearly popped out.

How did he come back again?

Chen Yongren noticed.

Among the section chiefs, there was even a little woman.

She was also the only female section chief among the 76th's section chiefs.

At this moment, she was curiously sizing up Chen Yongren,

Chen Yongren kicked the door of the Action Office.

With a thud—

The door was kicked open directly.

Zeng Qirui and Wang Mu, who were talking inside, were startled by the commotion and turned toward the door.

"Damn, there are quite a few people." Chen Yongren scanned the room with his gaze.

Their records show they were all members who participated in humiliating that female soldier.

The roughly eight silhouettes in the office stared at Chen Yongren, dumbfounded.

"What the hell are you, tired of living, daring to kick our Action Office's door!" Wang Mu drew his M1903 pistol from his waist.

"I'll see who dares to fire!" Seeing this, Zhang Haifeng quickly drew his pistol and placed himself in front of Chen Yongren: "Insolence, you're asking for death!"

Huang Qifa and Han Chen exchanged a glance, then simultaneously drew their pistols and aimed at those inside.

The other section chiefs just stared at each other, never expecting things to turn out like this.

"Put them down, everyone put them down, we're all brothers." Zeng Qirui tried to smooth things over: "Old Zhang, Old Huang, Old Han, what's this all about?"

"This is our 76th's newly arrived Advisor Chen; you're blind to dare point a gun at him." Zhang Haifeng shouted angrily: "Put down your guns! I order you to put down your guns!"

Advisor Chen?

Zeng Qirui's face suddenly changed.

He, who often met with the Japanese, had long heard that an advisor would soon come to guide work at the 76th.

The office had been prepared, yet his figure never appeared.

Zeng Qirui never expected the legendary advisor to suddenly appear before him.

Not to mention him, the other section chiefs were likewise frightened badly.

Fortunately I kept my mouth shut, otherwise I'd be done for.

"Put down the guns, quickly!" Seeing Wang Mu still dazed, Zeng Qirui couldn't help but kick him, then quickly walked up to Chen Yongren and said obsequiously:

"Advisor Chen, your esteemed presence—sorry for the poor welcome; please don't take offense."

"The 76th's welcome gift is indeed different—just meeting, Section Chief Zeng already tried to give me a show of force." Chen Yongren replied indifferently.

Zeng Qirui put on a smiling face: "Advisor Chen, you're joking; it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Tonight I'll host you at the Songhu International Hotel to welcome you."

"A misunderstanding?" Chen Yongren looked at Wang Mu and said: "How have I heard that he, relying on his position as Action Office captain, often goes to the recruit camp to bully female soldiers?"

"In just a month's time, three lives!"

"And he even brings others to bully his own brothers—who gave you the guts!"

"You think a casually written report can fool everyone, that I wouldn't know about your petty deeds if I hadn't come!"

"The 76th is working for the new government; whether enemies have infiltrated internally, we don't yet know, yet you're thinking of bullying your own brothers!"

Zeng Qirui, after being dressed down like a grandson, felt like cursing his subordinates' eight generations of ancestors: "Advisor Chen, it's truly regrettable that such things happened."

"What matter?" Chen Yongren sneered.

"Regarding those girls, it's really just a misunderstanding." Zeng Qirui tried to stay calm.

"A misunderstanding?" Chen Yongren drew his pistol and aimed it at Zeng Qirui's head: "If I shoot you dead now, would that count as a misunderstanding!"

Seeing this, those of the Action Team again drew their pistols and aimed at Chen Yongren.

"Put down your guns, nobody move!" Zhang Haifeng immediately said.

The other colleagues felt a chill down their spines—just arrived a day and already swords drawn?

This Advisor Chen seems to have a rather violent temper.

Seeing Chen Yongren's murderous gaze, Zeng Qirui was startled.

"Damn, where did this newly arrived advisor get such fire."

"A new official sets three fires on taking office; he wouldn't be trying to seize the opportunity to establish authority, would he?"

"He's not old, suddenly parachuted in, and brought so many colleagues—surely he intends to do just that."

"How unlucky I am, to be made the chicken killed to scare the monkeys."

"Ren Ge?" Zhang Haifeng looked at Chen Yongren.

"How many times have I said, at work don't call me brother; call me Advisor Chen or Chief Chen!" Chen Yongren glanced around deliberately: "Section Chief Zeng really knows how to manage his subordinates."

"At least in my report to Chief Fujiwara I can write that the 76th is united top and bottom, sincerely united, presenting a united front outward."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Qirui couldn't help but shudder.

If the Locust Army saw the words "present a united front," we'd at least get our skin stripped off in two layers.

"Consultant Chen, please calm down; regarding the female soldiers, I will—" Zeng Qirui raised both hands: ""

Before Zeng Qirui could finish, Wang Mu objected: "Those women will eventually sleep with someone; if it's going to benefit outsiders, why can't it benefit brothers?"

"Brothers risk life and limb—what's wrong with using them to blow off steam? I haven't even collected tuition from her yet!"

"Exactly—I've let her enjoy herself!"

"Back in the Military Statistics Bureau we could sneak around and play—why can't we do that here?"

"Putting a scallion in a pig's nose and pretending to be an elephant."

……

All the lackeys chimed in.

Upon hearing that, Zeng Qirui couldn't help but close his eyes.

We're doomed.

Upon hearing that, Chen Yongren laughed, swung the gun toward Wang Mu's head, and fired.

A bang rang out.

Wang Mu took a bullet to the head, dropped to his knees, fell flat on the ground, and still wore an arrogant expression.

Everyone in the Action Office was stunned by the scene.

"Don't move—nobody move, and don't act rashly!" Zeng Qirui urged.

But Chen Yongren didn't stop, firing repeatedly at the remaining men, each shot to the head.

Sharp gunshots rang out in succession, and soon seven bodies lay on the ground.

Everyone in the office stared in disbelief at Chen Yongren.

"Section Chief Zeng, Wang Mu, as his subordinate, killed himself to preserve the reputation of Action Office 76—there's no problem with that, right?" Chen Yongren asked.

"No… no problem." Zeng Qirui said, suppressing fear.

"None is better." Chen Yongren patted Zeng Qirui's shoulder and said, "These are all heroes of the new government—provide compensation to their families."

"You write the report, I'll sign!"

"Let's each do our duty!"
