Chapter 281: Mysterious Package

Tengyuan Jintai, who had received the news, still thought he had misheard.

Yesterday 18 people were assassinated, but today there are 24, the number is even higher than yesterday—this is protecting a fart.

The Japanese second lieutenant who reported the news stood aside, not daring to speak more.

He vented his frustration on this unlucky second lieutenant, and Tengyuan Jintai sent him packing.

Yesterday, the Yellow Weasel's radio appeared again, and Tengyuan Jintai grew more certain that the Military Statistics Bureau Songhu area was targeting them, launching a new round of assassinations.

In just two days, 42 people have died from assassinations; Tengyuan Jintai this old devil's lungs are about to explode from anger.

But this old thing certainly didn't expect that this is only the beginning, with bigger things still to come.

In the following days, Chen Yongren's assassination targets were not limited to Japanese puppet agents; he would occasionally kill a few new government officials in passing.

On the third day, although the death toll had decreased somewhat, there were still 20 people.

On the fourth day, 16 people were assassinated.

On the fifth day, 12 people were assassinated.

……

For a time, all the traitors in Songhu City were panic-stricken, fearing that they themselves might be assassinated any day.

While creating panic among the Japanese puppet spies, Chen Yongren also sent people to constantly monitor the dynamics of several ports in Songhu, preparing for the upcoming operation.

Chen Yongren had already figured out how to create an alibi for himself.

Assassination.

As long as he himself is assassinated and recuperates at home, that will be the perfect alibi.

Besides arranging the assassination operation against himself.

The assassination of Tengyuan Lao Guizi must not stop either, and he must also save it several times to deepen its trust in him.

He could even be injured while saving Tengyuan Jintai, letting that old devil see it with his own eyes, which would also increase credibility.

But he absolutely cannot screw it up.

Tengyuan Jintai is the current source of his power; if he really lets him die and a new little Japanese takes over, that new one will surely suppress him and promote someone he trusts.

This old devil cannot die, at least not for now.

Say it, do it.

Chen Yongren used his advantage of quick disguise to infiltrate the Japanese organization, creating a package personally signed for by Tengyuan Jintai that actually contained a time bomb.

It will explode in 15 minutes.

Recently Chen Yongren's assassination operations have gone smoothly; the time bomb is merely one of the rewards.

He then reverted to Chen Yongren's identity, went to Tengyuan Jintai's office, and launched a report on the recent investigation.

The person who did these things is Chen Yongren, as the Grand Emperor of Number 76, discovering some traces of the 'Yellow Weasel' is no problem.

"Chen Sang, what are you saying? You found their traces?" Tengyuan Jintai immediately perked up.

The reason it's them is that in just a few days, so many assassination cases have occurred.

Even if Tengyuan Jintai were killed, it wouldn't believe the Yellow Weasel is only one person; it must be a gang.

Chen Yongren nodded, opened the folder, and said seriously: "After careful inquiry, we found that one of the guys in the Yellow Weasel organization had once bought cigarettes nearby!"

"We tracked him by his appearance all the way and finally found their hideout; we immediately blocked their front and back exits."

"We learned from questioning the neighbors that these guys haven't shown up for two days."

"But I still kept watch for a while longer, and there was no sign of anyone appearing."

"Only when we surrounded and entered did we discover that there was nobody inside the house."

Hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai's face flashed with a hint of regret.

What a pity.

If this time we could catch even one person, we might be able to follow the vine to find the Yellow Weasel's whereabouts.

Chen Yongren continued: "On the table inside the house, we found some assassination targets of the killed personnel, as well as a list of personnel awaiting assassination!"

"Uncle Tengyuan, I have already sorted everything out; the documents are right here, please review them!"

These personnel lists are, of course, specially fabricated by Chen Yongren, the purpose being to draw Tengyuan Lao Guizi's attention.

Upon hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai's eyes lit up; he immediately took the folder and examined it carefully.

Chen Yongren said: "Uncle Tengyuan, this is really strange; some of the personnel's addresses are clearly confidential."

"But in such a short time, how could that Yellow Weasel know?"

"There are two possibilities."

"One, their intelligence capability is formidable."

"Two…"

Before Chen Yongren could finish, Tengyuan Jintai interjected: "That means there is indeed a mole inside our ranks!"

"This guy nominally belongs to us, but in reality he is a mole of the Military Statistics Bureau!"

"Uncle Tengyuan, you have high insight!" Chen Yongren bowed his head.

Seeing that list, Tengyuan Jintai's old face looked somewhat unnatural.

It included names, ages, hobbies, and even employment history.

Which damned bastard leaked the information?

"You bastards, actually dare to plot to kill me?"

Seeing his own name also on the list, Tengyuan Jintai angrily slapped the table.

Seeing Chen Yongren's name also on the list, Tengyuan Jintai muttered: "Chen Sang, I was right; they not only want to get me, but also you."

Besides the names of Tengyuan Lao Guizi and Chen Yongren, the list also contained many names awaiting assassination.

The highest-ranking official among them is the current mayor of Songhu Municipal Government.

"This damn bastard, his ambition is huge—he even dares to kill the Songhu mayor." Fujiwara Chikata's face darkened.

"Although we don't know where they went, if we look on the bright side, at least we know what they plan to do next." After pondering a moment, Chen Yongren comforted: "With this list, we can also prepare in advance."

"Chen Sang, you really are different from that bunch of idiots!" Fujiwara Chikata looked at the list and said: "You're absolutely right; to avoid greater losses, we should concentrate our forces on these people."

Having a target is always better than bumping around like a headless fly.

Fujiwara Chikata picked up the phone, just about to call someone in.

But he heard a knocking sound from outside the door.

"Come in." Old devil Fujiwara muttered.

"Major His Excellency, there is a package that needs your signature; it seems to be a gift you ordered?" A Japanese soldier lowered his head and glanced at the package.

"There is also a note on it."

"It reads, To my longtime friend from military academy, Fujiwara Your Excellency—I'll come see you as soon as I finish my business."

"Signed, a longtime friend."

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chikata's face grew even more bewildered.

A longtime friend?

Fujiwara Chikata instinctively became wary.

No way, too many people have been assassinated lately.

"Put the package down and step back!" Chen Yongren shouted sternly.

This thing was placed by him, so naturally he knows better than anyone what's inside.

Calculating the time, the package will explode in just over a minute.

Chen Yongren is Fujiwara Chikata's close confidant; the two are close, and the Japanese soldiers obediently complied.

"Director Fujiwara, stay behind me; I'll inspect this package!" Chen Yongren stood in front of Fujiwara Chikata.
