Chapter 240: Gathering Intelligence

"Yes!" Chen Yongren replied.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up.

The old devil wants to treat to a meal?

News of Shin'kawa Naoya heading to Songhu, that old devil surely already knows, perhaps we can eavesdrop on him for some useful intelligence.

After hanging up, Chen Yongren casually scolded them a few sentences and sent them away.

When work hours ended.

Chen Yongren then walked out of 76.

A Ford sedan was parked at the entrance.

A glance at the license plate revealed it was the old devil Tengyuan's car, specially sent to pick up Chen Yongren for the banquet.

After buying some gifts along the way, Chen Yongren rode in the car to the Tengyuan family villa.

"That weasel fellow has been active frequently lately."

"Judging by their activity frequency and results, that fellow's rank should be quite high, at least a squad leader level."

"That damned bastard, where exactly is he hiding?"

……

A string of thoughts rang out.

As expected.

Constantly letting the little devils keep investigating like this isn't a solution.

Chen Yongren has already considered whether to change his codename, or create a few fake codenames to confuse the little devils' sight.

Upon seeing Chen Yongren, Tengyuan Youzi smiled happily, quickly stepped forward and linked arms with Chen Yongren, saying: "Yongren-kun, you've finally come; I've been waiting for you a long time."

Chen Yongren smiled and nodded, addressing Tengyuan Jintai and Tengyuan Linai: "Director, Madam."

"Chen Sang, this is just a family meal; why bring gifts? Please sit down." Tengyuan Jintai greeted.

Seeing Tengyuan Youzi and Chen Yongren's intimate manner, Tengyuan Linai's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment.

"Youzi, since Chen Sang has arrived, we can go to the kitchen to prepare."

Tengyuan Youzi reluctantly left Chen Yongren and headed to the kitchen.

Chen Yongren and Tengyuan Jintai sat opposite each other.

"What do you think of 76, Chen Sang?" Tengyuan Jintai asked directly.

"A rabble of a mob." Chen Yongren bluntly evaluated.

"Precisely for that reason, we need you as a consultant." Tengyuan Jintai said in a low voice: "Chen Sang, an agent called the Weasel has appeared in Songhu; you must have heard of him."

"I've heard; rumors say that fellow is from the Military Statistics Bureau, ruthless and cruel, and not a few government officials have died at his hands." Chen Yongren remained calm, utterly unafraid.

"Every time 76 fails a mission, it seems to be linked to him."

"He's a tough nut to crack; I've dealt with him before." Tengyuan Jintai said.

"Oh?" Chen Yongren feigned confusion: "He has appeared before?"

Tengyuan Jintai nodded: "Initially he obtained a top-secret list from within the empire, causing enormous damage to our intelligence operations."

"I've been trying to catch him, but have no leads; I suspect this fellow is a senior agent of the Military Statistics Bureau."

"Chen Sang, I need you."

"I need you to lead 76 and root out this fellow!"

"Yes, Director Tengyuan!" Chen Yongren stood at attention and accepted the order.

"I catch myself?"

"This I'm familiar with."

"Chen Sang, I believe in your abilities!" Tengyuan Jintai was pleased; "If you can capture that fellow, I will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Really lets an outsider snatch the weasel before us."

"What face does the Tsuchiihara agency have left?"

"Even 76 counts as part of the Tsuchiihara agency; what is that Shin'kawa Naoya fellow?"

It seems Tengyuan old devil is in a hurry.

Not wanting this merit to be taken by an outsider and lose face.

"Yes, Director Tengyuan, I understand." Chen Yongren bowed deeply.

As the two were speaking, the phone on the table rang.

Chen Yongren stood up, answered the phone, and looked at Tengyuan Jintai saying: "Director Tengyuan, it's the general's call; he says there's an important matter to discuss with you!"

Upon hearing that, Tengyuan Jintai hurriedly stood up, took the phone, and looked at Chen Yongren.

"I'll go help in the kitchen." Chen Yongren reacted just as quickly.

Anyway, I have the wind-ear skill; even in the kitchen I can know what they're talking about.

Besides, it's better not to be beside that old devil.

If something happens, with Tengyuan Jintai as a witness, I can also distance myself from this affair.

"Youzi, Lady Linai, I've come to help you." Chen Yongren pushed open the kitchen door.

Using helping as an excuse, I freely eavesdropped in the kitchen on the conversation between Tengyuan Jintai and Tsuchiihara.

Simply summarized the two's talk.

Shin'kawa Naoya will arrive in Songhu tomorrow, staying at the Saito apartment in Hongkou district.

This time he comes with an order from the military department; the military police and the special higher agency must definitely carry out defensive work to guarantee his safety.

Since it concerns the Japanese themselves and is not about capturing anti-Japanese elements, those two old devils did not let 76 participate.

The intelligence has come, hasn't it?

Knowing where the old devil is, first scout the terrain via holographic map, then formulate an appropriate action plan based on the on-site situation.

After playing in the kitchen for a while, the three finally carried the dishes out of the kitchen.

Tengyuan Jintai also finished his call.

The four sat at the long table to eat.

Chen Yongren and Tengyuan Youzi sat on one side, Tengyuan Linai sat opposite them, while Tengyuan Jintai sat alone at the head seat.

"Chen Sang, try this; this dish is called tempura, a traditional Japanese dish." Tengyuan Youzi picked up a large shrimp tempura, dipped it in the sauce, and brought it to Chen Yongren's mouth.

Chen Yongren also didn't stand on ceremony, took a bite, and nodded: "Mm, Youzi's cooking is really good."

"Youzi, you really know how to dote on people." Tengyuan Jintai laughed: "I haven't eaten many times the things you personally pick for me."

"Father!" Tengyuan Youzi blushed slightly: "You don't like this dish, do you?"

"But I never said I don't like the dishes you pick for me." Tengyuan Jintai added.

Tengyuan Youzi picked up a piece of sushi, placed it in Tengyuan Jintai's bowl, and said: "This is your favorite sushi; how could I forget you, daughter?"

The four enjoyed their meal.

Tengyuan Youzi worried that Chen Yongren wouldn't eat enough, and kept putting food on his plate.

Chen Yongren was eating when he suddenly felt someone rubbing his calf.

He looked down and saw Tengyuan Linai's small foot gently rubbing his leg.

Tengyuan Linai appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was very excited.

Tengyuan Jintai and Tengyuan Youzi are both by my side, yet I am like this.

Mm…

Increase the intensity, so that Chen Sang ignores me.

Damn it.

This Japanese woman really knows how to play.

Chen Yongren ate while enjoying the massage from Tengyuan Linai.

Tengyuan Jintai occasionally chatted with Chen Yongren, commenting on the dishes.

The old devil never expected that Tengyuan Linai would, right in front of him, give Chen Yongren extra food.

Afterward.

Tengyuan Linai only felt that her feet were sore to the point of being unbearable.

Seeing Tengyuan Linai's unusual state, Tengyuan Jintai felt very distressed.

"If only we could be like them in the future." Tengyuan Youzi said, feeling a bit envious.

If you knew why your mother's feet are sore, you wouldn't think that way.

"By the way, Chen Sang, I have a gift to give you." Tengyuan Youzi said.

"Give it to me here?" Chen Yongren asked deliberately.
