Chapter 288: Password Leak

"Chen Sang, you finally came!" Seeing Chen Yongren enter, Tengyuan Jintai asked concernedly: "How's the wound? Did you run into any trouble on the way?"

"Thanks for your concern, Uncle Tengyuan Jintai, everything's fine." Chen Yongren nodded: "Those guys caused such a commotion; who would dare show their faces now?"

It's me who caused this; whether there's an accident or not is still up to me to say.

"Please have a seat, Chen Sang." Tengyuan Jintai gestured for Chen Yongren to sit opposite, picked up a stack of documents on the table, handed him them, and said wearily: "Chen Sang, you'd better look at these first."

Chen Yongren received the documents with a solemn expression, examining them carefully.

Though he appeared stern, he was practically bursting with joy inside.

We must give them extra bonuses.

How beautiful.

Wall number 76 has been blown up.

Right now they must be so anxious they're practically shitting themselves.

Looks like tomorrow I'll find another excuse to spray that bitch Gu Yongshan.

Spraying her when there's nothing else to do is also a decent way to pass the time.

Although he already knew about these matters, Chen Yongren still flipped through the report with a straight face.

"Damn it, these useless bastards, the enemy infiltrated Wall 76 and they didn't even notice?" Chen Yongren feigned anger: "These sonsofbitches, they don't even dare call me!"

"Damn it, I haven't killed anyone in a few days, and they dare hide it from me!"

"Chen Sang, don't get worked up." Tengyuan Jintai comforted: "I told them you were injured; if there's nothing wrong, no one is allowed to disturb you."

After all, I'm the supreme authority of Wall 76; my base was blown up by a bunch of bastards—if I don't show some reaction, Tengyuan Jintai will surely suspect something.

"Sorry, Uncle Tengyuan Jintai, I lost my composure." Chen Yongren quickly regained his composure and continued examining the documents.

At times his expression was solemn, at times he rubbed his chin, putting on a thoughtful look, or occasionally he inhaled a few breaths of cool air.

Tengyuan Jintai beside him scratched his ear and cheek, but he didn't dare disturb Chen Yongren lightly, fearing to break his train of thought.

After putting on an act for a while, Chen Yongren muttered: "Director Tengyuan Jintai, I feel something's off."

"Speak!" Tengyuan Jintai waved his hand.

"The enemy seems to have deliberately caused such a commotion to divert our attention." Chen Yongren thought for a moment.

"What do you mean?" Tengyuan Jintai hurriedly asked.

"Their reason for causing such a commotion is to force us to transfer troops from the port, thereby creating a defensive vacuum there!" Chen Yongren slammed the documents onto the table.

"We've been fooled—right from the start we've been fooled!"

"Fooled?" Tengyuan Jintai blinked in surprise.

"Uncle Tengyuan Jintai, do you still remember when we discovered the hideout of the Military Statistics Bureau agents?" Chen Yongren asked.

"Of course I remember; we even discovered their next move from there..." Tengyuan Jintai seemed to realize something: "Are you saying they deliberately leaked their actions?"

"Exactly!" Chen Yongren immediately said: "They deliberately exposed themselves, aiming to divert our attention and make us think their next target is actually a person!"

"Thus causing us to neglect the port."

"I'm really stupid!"

"If that's really the case, how could they not send someone to guard it? How could they possibly let not a single person be caught?"

"That weasel is so cunning; he certainly wouldn't miss any clue!"

"He's clearly just digging a pit for us to fall into!"

"The failed assassination attempt against you only deepened this impression!"

"So that night they caused an even bigger commotion, and to avoid greater losses we could only passively transfer troops!"

"The result… we fell into the scoundrels' trap!"

Chen Yongren's face full of regret: "I should have realized this earlier; if I'd spotted the problem sooner, it wouldn't have led to such huge losses…"

Listening to Chen Yongren's analysis, Old Devil Tengyuan Jintai also wore a solemn expression.

Combining tonight's events, it really is like that.

Tengyuan Jintai never expected the port to erupt in such chaos.

"Chen Sang, you merely reported your findings normally; it's that weasel fellow who's overly cunning, making everything look genuine." Tengyuan Jintai comforted Chen Yongren.

"Your lack of combat experience makes falling for his trick quite normal."

"Damn bastard, Uncle Tengyuan Jintai, I will personally seize that fellow, tear him apart limb from limb! I'll wash away my shame!" Chen Yongren gritted his teeth.

An expression as if he wanted to swallow the weasel alive and strip off its skin.

Anyway, it's the weasel who's going to be torn apart; what does that have to do with me, Chen Yongren?

Chen Yongren's superb acting, Tengyuan Jintai couldn't detect a single flaw.

In his view, Chen Yongren is just a young man who suffered a setback at the weasel's hands and wants to take revenge.

Not mentioning Chen Yongren, Old Devil Tengyuan Jintai also thinks the same.

As they were speaking, a knock sounded at the door; a Japanese soldier pushed it in, glanced guiltily at Tengyuan Jintai, stood at attention, and said:

"Major His Excellency, the fires at the port have all been extinguished…"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai's mood improved somewhat: "How's the cargo on the ships? How much was salvaged?"

"What's the condition of the ships? How many can still sail normally?"

"At dawn tomorrow, immediately load the remaining supplies onto the ships and send them all back to Japan!"

Hearing Tengyuan Jintai's rapid-fire words, the Japanese soldier wanted to cry but had no tears: "Major His Excellency, the supplies on the ships have all been burned to ash…"

"The hulls are also severely damaged and cannot be repaired for use." The Japanese soldier retreated a step without leaving a trace.

"What?" Tengyuan Jintai blinked in confusion.

"These are the investigation results." The Japanese soldier hurriedly handed the report to Tengyuan Jintai: "Director Tengyuan Jintai, the flames from this explosion are really strange."

"We've tried everything, but we simply can't extinguish it—not just us, even the Qing Bang cargo ship docked next to us has been affected."

「They are all wooden ships, and the damage is even more severe…」

「Damn, is this what I want to hear? 」

Before he could finish speaking, Fujiwara Chinta stepped forward two steps, swung left and right, and slapped this Japanese soldier hard across the face.

The Japanese soldier dared not speak further, continuously kowtowing in apology.

Upon hearing that everything had been burned to ashes, Fujiwara Chinta's heart ached, throbbing painfully.

"Director Fujiwara!" Chen Yongren stepped forward quickly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Fujiwara Chinta waved his hand.

The ship was filled with a series of precious cultural relics such as antiques and ancient books.

They originally planned to wait until they had destroyed China, then bring out these antiques and ancient books, and afterwards claim to be the orthodox China.

As a result, all of their dreams were burned to nothing by a single fire.

With your pathetic appearance, you still dare to claim the orthodox China.

But soon, Chen Yongren became unsettled.

Through insight, a secret telegram was about to be delivered.

And the content was actually.

The Japanese code-breaking team had successfully cracked the weasel cipher.
