Chapter 249: Performing

Fujiwara Chinta listened and nodded: "Chen Sang, continue speaking."

"Finally, there is the inspection work of the steamship; conduct frequent checks at weak points to guard against enemy placement of explosives." Chen Yongren said humbly.

"Your Excellency General, Director Fujiwara, with my humble abilities, these are all I can think of."

"If I have overlooked anything, please do not blame me."

Although this is just a pretense.

As the Chief Advisor of the Special Operations Committee, Chen Yongren naturally cannot afford to slip up at such a moment.

Still treating it as genuine, he gave his opinion; the security plan naturally should be as good as possible, and deliberately leaving loopholes would only make those two old devils suspicious.

"Yo-shi."

After hearing Chen Yongren finish, Tsuchihara Ji nodded satisfied: "Chen Sang, your security plan is really good, simply perfect; even if the enemy were just a fly, it would be hard to get in."

The more Fujiwara Chinta looked at Chen Yongren, the more satisfied he became; indeed, he is someone I value.

"Chen Sang, the security work for this Peace Conference is important; our guests are about to arrive at Songhu, you and Unit 76 must guarantee the safety of the voyage." Tsuchihara Ji said in a low voice.

"The steamship will dock at the Songhu estuary; at that time, you of Unit 76 will guarantee that all members arrive safely at the banquet venue."

"Remember, for the safety of the envoys, do not inform them in advance of any mission-related information!"

"Yes, I understand." Chen Yongren replied.

Safety?

Of course we must protect their safety—directly blow them all up to prevent them from suffering assassination later.

I am truly a Great Benevolent Person.

Chen Yongren could also feel that, even though he helped Tsuchihara Ji earn a lot of money.

But once there is any hint of movement, that old devil will immediately suspect me.

Otherwise, he would not have let me devise a security plan for the steamship.

To say it's devising a plan is better described as a simple probe, telling me the steamship's exact docking location.

Once the steamship encounters trouble, it will be easy to pin the blame on me.

Damn it.

Fortunately, I knew in advance what they intended to do; otherwise I would really have fallen for their tricks.

That's fine too.

I am only responsible for voyage safety; if the railway has problems, there is no way to blame it on my head.

I also have to thank the little devils for personally taking this black pot off my head.

I, the young master, can only reluctantly set off fireworks to thank you.

As for the train schedule.

Through the intentions of Fujiwara and Tsuchihara, Chen Yongren has also confirmed.

The invited members will take a special train, via the Hu-Ning Railway, from Jinling to Songhu, to go to the consulate to attend the Peace Conference.

"Chen Sang, how did the interrogation of those three Red Party members go yesterday?" Tsuchihara Ji asked again; "Did you obtain any useful information?"

"No, that bunch have tough mouths; they are unwilling to say anything more." Chen Yongren said: "I intend to go see them myself, to find a way to make them speak."

"Since that's the case, go ahead and get busy!" Tsuchihara Ji waved his hand: "If there are any important leads, be sure to report them to us promptly!"

"Yes!" Chen Yongren stood up and left.

Until Chen Yongren closed the door and left, Fujiwara Chinta could not help but ask: "Your Excellency General, I don't understand why you still suspect Chen Sang and assign him responsibility for the steamship security—what is the meaning of that?"

"The envoys are clearly going to Songhu by special train."

"Or could it be because of Shinkawa Naoya's affair?"

"Chen Yongren only just took up the position of Chief Advisor a few days ago and already killed eight people from Unit 76; I suspect his purpose is not merely simple military discipline." Tsuchihara Ji said with a stern expression.

"I have investigated; those individuals indeed violated discipline, and not just once—if it weren't for Zeng Qirui constantly covering for them, they would have been dealt with long ago!" Fujiwara Chinta said.

"Chen Sang is merely looking for an excuse, killing to establish authority."

"Chen Sang's proposal for stability is indeed reasonable; if we want to develop the economy, we cannot let the people of Unit 76 keep running amok."

Tsuchihara Ji said: "That's why I gave him this opportunity; you know, we deliberately leaked the news of the steamship just to attract some fools to take the bait."

"In the vast ocean, the enemy would certainly not choose to act at sea; when docking ashore, that is their only chance!"

"Now, only Chen Yongren knows the steamship's exact docking point."

"Once the steamship is attacked, it can only mean that he leaked the information!"

"Of course, if the steamship is fine, then everyone will be happy, and we can let him come into contact with more core materials!"

"Your Excellency General has high insight." Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chinta also said no more.

After Chen Yongren left the Tsuchihara office, he immediately went to Unit 76.

The performance here is over; next there is still a major show to come.

Arriving at the interrogation room.

The three Red Party members including Zheng Qian were beaten beyond recognition and hung inside the room.

The three were covered in blood, with not a single piece of good flesh visible, and the nails on their hands and feet had completely fallen off.

Just a glance, Chen Yongren knew how much suffering they had endured.

Damn it.

These damned things!

Special operations work will inevitably encounter such situations sooner or later.

Chen Yongren had long made the mental preparations.

Not only when facing the Red Party, but perhaps one day his subordinates will miscalculate and be captured by the Japanese and Unit 76.

Perhaps, to dispel suspicion, he may also need to personally execute his own people in front of them.

Fuck!

Chen Yongren muttered a couple of curses, walked into the interrogation room with a grim face.

"Advisor Chen!"

The several special agents inside saw this, quickly stood up from their chairs, and saluted.

Hearing a sound nearby, Zheng Qian slightly raised his head, and glanced at Chen Yongren out of the corner of his eye.

Chen Yongren waved his hand casually, frowned, covered his nose, and asked, "It's almost been a day—have they confessed yet?"

"No, these three guys' mouths are too tough; we've tried everything, really we have no other way," the special agent said nervously.

He had also heard of Chen Yongren's fearsome reputation—he said he would kill if he said he would kill.

He also feared this master before him; if the master grew unhappy, he might shoot himself to vent his anger, and then there would be nowhere to cry for justice.

"Trash, you can't even handle three Red Party members—what's your usual ability?" Chen Yongren feigned anger, pointing at them as he scolded.

Seeing Chen Yongren lose his temper, no one dared to respond.

Chen Yongren stepped forward, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Zheng Qian.

"Pah, you dog special agent!" Zheng Qian spat a mouthful of saliva at Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren reacted extremely quickly, dodging by shifting his body to the side.

"Hey, you motherfucker!" one of the special agents got angry.

"It's fine, cursing me twice won't take a chunk of flesh." Chen Yongren said nonchalantly: "What are you plotting? You've already suffered the punishment—why not confess sooner?"

While saying that, Chen Yongren kept paying attention to their thoughts.

"I really deserve to die—why was I caught by this bunch of dog special agents?"

"Now the explosives are gone—how are we supposed to carry out our next mission?"

As expected.

Comparing Chen Dian's thoughts, Chen Yongren became even more certain that they intended to blow up that ship.
