Chapter 275: From the Heart

"Yes, I will definitely do my best to assist Uncle Tengyuan and catch that damned bastard!" Chen Yongren shouted.

I'm catching myself; isn't that just seeing how I scheme?

Since the old devil wants to use the ship's supplies to bait and enforce the law, Chen Yongren also temporarily gave up the idea of looting those treasures.

Now only Huang Shu Lang knows this; if the ship's supplies are looted and I just happen to be absent, the suspicion will be very obvious.

Moreover, after this incident, the little devils will surely become alert; a forcible attack is no different from seeking death, so we need to think of another way to seize these supplies.

Even if we can't retrieve them, we must definitely blow up this cargo ship; we absolutely cannot let them take away a single treasure.

Tengyuan Jintai nodded in approval: "Chen Sang, I believe in your abilities; with your help, we will surely find his clues!"

"Uncle Tengyuan, please rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint." Chen Yongren pondered inwardly, wondering whether to release some inconsequential information to let this old devil taste some sweetness.

Tengyuan Jintai nodded slightly.

Chen Yongren seemed to think of something, feigned regret and asked: "Uncle Tengyuan, Zeng Qirui was beaten to death by me; now the 76th Action Office is in a state of no one in command."

"Shouldn't we promptly dispatch personnel to take over his duties?"

Tengyuan Jintai nodded slightly; "Regarding manpower, you needn't worry—the 76th Office has so many people, there must be at least one usable talent."

"Many people are watching his position; you just need to find a suitable guy."

"Yes, Uncle Tengyuan, I understand." Chen Yongren straightened up: "Section Chief Gu is currently sealing the evidence of Zeng Qirui's corruption and bribery; I believe we will be able to seize more assets this time."

"Uncle Tengyuan, when the time comes, please trouble yourself to check which of these assets violate regulations."

Upon hearing this, Old Devil Tengyuan's eyes lit up.

It sounds like I might be able to make a big profit again.

Immediately, Tengyuan Jintai lowered his voice: "Chen Sang, is this really feasible?"

Though he voiced doubt on his lips, the old devil's face was full of anticipation—who doesn't love money?

"Leave it to me, rest assured! I will instruct Section Chief Gu to handle these trivial matters." Chen Yongren said.

Upon hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai nodded slightly: "Chen Sang, then please take care of this and handle it quickly."

"Yes, Uncle Tengyuan." Chen Yongren replied.

After a bit more exchange, Tengyuan Jintai finally let Chen Yongren leave.

Huang Shu Lang reappeared in Songhu, and the commotion grew louder each time; the days of the 76th Office weren't easy either.

Although he did not participate in the mission.

But how do you conduct your counterintelligence work in Songhu?

How could this Military Statistics Bureau agent Huang Shu Lang remain hidden in Songhu without being detected?

The black pot's specialty is spreading the blame evenly—no one can escape.

And Chen Yongren's task upon returning to the 76th Office is just to sign documents.

After Zeng Qirui's death, his faction naturally also fell under Gu Yongshan's purge; all were charged with treason and taken by her to the firing range.

This can't be blamed on her; Gu Yongshan, who was set up by Chen Yongren, even if she wanted to withdraw completely, can now only think about it.

Zeng Qirui's close aides wouldn't listen to her explanations; Gu Yongshan, left with no choice, now can only side with Chen Yongren.

To save his own life, he launched a major purge against Zeng Qirui's close aides.

This matter is also quite simple.

Zeng Qirui's backside isn't clean; there are too many things to make a case out of.

Not only Zeng Qirui's aides, but also his family were, on the day Zeng Qiru died, arranged by Gu Yongshan to be taken to a remote place and buried alive.

The motto is, a family must be whole and complete.

Looking at Gu Yongshan's report, Chen Yongren deliberately said: "Section Chief Gu is truly ruthless and merciless, leaving no room for maneuver in her actions."

Gu Yongshan's report was done very well.

Directly, they put the blame for the special train bombing on Zeng Qirui's head.

Anyway, this guy is dead; how to convict him is just up to how the interrogators spin it.

They privately detained seized supplies and sold arms for profit—that's a fact.

Moreover, the bombing case went unsolved for a long time, and they couldn't find Huang Shu Lang's trace, so they could only drag out a scapegoat.

First, let's calm things down and talk later.

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, Gu Yongshan's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"I'm doing this, isn't it because you forcibly dragged me onto your pirate ship?"

Moreover, to eradicate weeds you must remove the roots.

If I don't act harshly, am I supposed to wait for others to take revenge later?

But upon further thought, if Chen Yongren hadn't lent me a hand, perhaps I would have ended up like Zeng Qirui—dead without even a scrap left.

But these words, Gu Yongshan only dared to mutter in her heart; she honestly said: "Relieving the superior's worries and solving difficulties is my duty as a subordinate."

"Is that so?" Chen Yongren looked at Gu Yongshan.

"Every word is true, absolutely no falsehood." Gu Yongshan straightened up.

Chen Yongren waved his hand broadly.

Gu Yongshan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, just about to turn and leave.

Then Chen Yongren said again: "Section Chief Gu, do you know what Director Tengyuan said before I returned?"

"Please, Director Chen, clarify my doubts." Gu Yongshan straightened up.

"He asked me, 'Are you really the insider I arranged in advance?'" Chen Yongren, calm and composed; "Guess what I said?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yongshan's body trembled; what was bound to come will come.

"I'm asking you, why don't you guess?" Chen Yongren said in an unfriendly tone.

"I, your humble subordinate, am dull and cannot fathom Director Chen's thoughts." Gu Yongshan hurriedly said.

"How do you want me to say it?" Chen Yongren drew his waist pistol, lightly tapped it on the table, smiling as he looked at Gu Yongshan: "Director Gu, answer correctly and you'll be rewarded."

Seeing that, Gu Yongshan trembled with fear, and she didn't dare to look Chen Yongren straight in the eye.

It's no big deal to scare Gu Yongshan; seeing her tremble like a quail also has its own charm.

At the very least, I need to make her remember clearly that in this No. 76, who is the big and small king.

"I..." Gu Yongshan wanted to speak but stopped herself.

This is clearly a no-win question; the real answer is in Chen Yongren's hands—how to answer depends entirely on what he finally thinks.

Thinking of this, Gu Yongshan had already begun to regret why she had followed Zeng Qiru into this muddy water.

Now she's being made a mess, inside and out, not even human.

After thinking a while, Gu Yongshan took a deep breath and said: "No matter what Chief Chen says, to me it's just a reprimand."

"Your thoughts, as your subordinate, I dare not speculate too much."

"I, your humble servant, now want nothing else but to follow your orders henceforth, assist you in maintaining Songhu's peace and stability, and uphold the new government's legitimate standing internationally."

Inside No. 76, Gu Yongshan is a faction that has betrayed her colleagues; for now, besides clinging tightly to Chen Yongren's thigh, she has no other choice.

Listening to Gu Yongshan's words, Chen Yongren almost laughed out loud: "Director Gu, you really know how to speak."

Her formal talk was not bad; you could tell from it that Gu Yongshan really had lost her nerve.
