Chapter 276: Luring the Dog Out of Its Den

"This is only what I, your humble subordinate, think; it's absolutely not to deceive you into happiness." Gu Yongshan hurriedly said.

Chen Yongren laughed happily.

Gu Yongshan also forced a smile on her face to echo him.

As for Gu Yongshan, although this woman has many schemes, in the face of Chen Yongren's insight, all eight hundred eighty myriad of her schemes are useless.

Chen Yongren killing Zeng Qiru was entirely to establish his authority.

If I were followed and taken back to the interrogation room for questioning, I could swallow this anger; it would only make outsiders feel.

I still have some misgivings about the new government, but when acting in Unit 76 I still have a bottom line.

If we don't kill a sufficiently substantial person, who knows how many troubles will arise later.

Might as well do it once and for all.

No matter who you are, damn it, even if you're a section chief, even if you're a beast, you'll die today.

Keeping Gu Yongshan is also to let the people of Unit 76 see that even just following behind me and picking up scraps can earn them a fortune.

Likewise, it can also send a signal to the outside.

Director Tengyuan trusts me greatly; your little lives are all in my grasp.

Methods can be ruthless, but they must also be balanced with proper measure.

If we really were to kill Gu Yongshan, there would still be another Intelligence Department Section Chief to take the post.

I simply can't kill them all.

One or two times is nothing, but if it happens repeatedly, Old Devil Tengyuan will surely suspect Chen Yongren's true intentions.

"Section Chief Gu, how's the tally of Zeng Qiru's household property going?" Chen Yongren glanced at Gu Yongshan.

The current situation shows that this woman is in the process of sealing off Zeng Qiru's estate.

"Reporting to Director Chen, this fellow's embezzled money is truly enormous; I, your humble subordinate, am still in the process of sorting it out." Gu Yongshan dared not conceal anything.

"However, a rough estimate puts the amount of his embezzlement at no less than Unit 76's entire annual operating budget."

"A whole year!" Chen Yongren feigned surprise: "That damned bastard, his gall is truly huge; the new government has only just been established, yet they dare to be so arrogant!"

"If we let them be, who knows—they might even empty our national treasury!"

Gu Yongshan lowered her head and remained silent.

Hearing that, Chen Yongren also wanted to curse, "Damn it!"

As expected.

To get rich, one must raid homes; Chen Yongren has already begun preparing, raiding a few unlucky souls' houses whenever he can.

Not only can it make money, it can also strike at these bastard sons of bitches who are traitors.

"After we clarify Zeng Qiru's property, ninety percent will be turned over to me, and the remaining ten percent will be considered your hard-earned wages." Chen Yongren was very generous.

After giving Gu Yongshan a few big sticks, we should also give her some sweetener.

Even when raising a dog, you occasionally have to give it a few bones to eat.

"Huh?" Upon hearing that, Gu Yongshan blinked in surprise.

Unit 76's annual operating expenses are at least 3.6 million yen; even ten percent of that would be several hundred thousand yen.

Originally this money was meant for the whole of Unit 76 to enjoy, but now the Intelligence Department can enjoy it exclusively?

Moreover, this isn't just operating funds; it's a benefit that can be divided among us.

Raiding homes for money is the norm for Unit 76.

Gu Yongshan never imagined that the largest sum she would earn by leading her unit in raiding homes would be...

... actually raiding Zeng Qiru's house.

"Is it too little?" Chen Yongren said deliberately.

"No, I, your humble subordinate, dare not; thank you, Director Chen, for your generosity." Gu Yongshan hastily shook her head.

Looking at it this way, Director Chen is not a bad person.

Although he is a bit fierce, he is very considerate of his subordinates.

"My gun is a little dirty." Chen Yongren played with his pistol, giving her a meaningful look.

"I..." Gu Yongshan instantly understood, and obediently walked over to Chen Yongren's side.

She took the pistol, found a towel and other tools, and began to wipe it clean in earnest.

"Section Chief Gu, your competence is evident!" Seeing her seriousness, Chen Yongren couldn't help but praise her.

She merely rolled her eyes and did not respond.

After she finished cleaning the gun, Chen Yongren took it, and in her presence fired two shots out the window.

Since it was Advisor Chen's office, even if anyone heard the commotion inside, no one dared to push the door open to check.

"Not bad; if you're needed again, just bother me." Chen Yongren waved and sent Gu Yongshan away.

Gu Yongshan's expression still bore resentment; after tidying up, she reluctantly left the office.

After busy work all afternoon, Chen Yongren finally clocked out and went home, tallying today's gains.

Numerous precious ancient books and antiquities aside for now.

Stored in the system warehouse, it's safer than anywhere else; Chen Yongren currently has no intention of handing them over to any party.

When a suitable opportunity arises, he will let these cultural relics see the light of day again.

Besides the cultural relics, Chen Yongren also seized a full two tons of gold.

Initially, Chen Yongren only thought about how to deal with Tsuchiya and Watanabe; he never bothered to check what the transport planes were actually carrying.

Now upon inspection, it's all damn treasure.

Besides the gold, there are also three fighter jets, two transport planes, and two reconnaissance planes.

Although they are good things, figuring out how to handle them is also a headache.

We can't just leave them gathering dust in the warehouse; Chen Yongren also prepared to wait for a suitable opportunity to sell them.

Besides, all of his upgradable skills have increased by one level.

His frequently used Insight skill jumped straight to level 7, expanding its detection range from 100 meters to 200 meters; the range further increased, allowing him to eavesdrop on more useful intelligence.

Danger Sense also rose to level 8, expanding its perception range to 400 meters, greatly increasing his chances of survival.

A 400-meter range is already more than enough within the Songhu area.

Mind Control also rose to level 5, allowing control of up to five targets, with an effective range expanded to 10 meters and its cooldown reduced to 21 hours.

The Assassin's Javelin skill was strengthened once again.

The Wind-Ear skill rose to level 2, increasing its effective distance from 20 meters to 50 meters.

The newly acquired True Sight also reached level 2, enabling him to view all spy positions within a 300-meter radius.

Because so many skills were upgraded this time, Chen Yongren couldn't be bothered to examine them one by one; he'd naturally notice the improvements when using them.

Now the problem has become: how can he become non-stick, seize those cargo ships, and yet not arouse suspicion from Fujiwara Chikata?

With so many treasures before him, completely destroying them is the most extreme option.

Chen Yongren stroked his chin.

Simply give the little devils a 'lure the tiger away from the mountain' ploy!

The little devils, damn it, A Ren't they trying to catch a weasel?

He might as well figure out how to produce one himself.

As long as the commotion is big enough, he need not worry about failing to attract that old devil's attention!

Give the devils a 'lure the dog away from its den' scheme, forcing them to withdraw troops from the dock.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren immediately sent a telegram to Boss Dai.

In short.

Taking advantage of the chaos among the Japanese puppet spies in Songhu, he launched another assassination operation against them.

Boss Dai also knew that the Songhu area had recently repeatedly achieved military merits, so Chen Yongren's mission request was no surprise, and he soon replied.

Just a single word.

Okay.
