Chapter 301: Ghost Radio

Originally, to upgrade the skill.

This function, Chen Yongren has always been the one who will definitely do it next time.

Now…

One could say, this time it has arrived.

As the skill level kept rising, the upgrade difficulty also increased step by step; plus his previous actions, Chen Yongren had also accumulated quite a few skills.

Let's take a gamble!

Maybe it could turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Chen Yongren opened the synthesis interface.

Selected a level-2 Insight and a level-3 Danger Sense.

Confirmed.

The two skills instantly merged, a flash of white light.

A system notification sounded.

【Congratulations, master, successfully synthesized the new skill 'Ghost Radio'】

【Ghost Radio】: Master can copy any radio signal, making it appear at any location within the city they are in.

Current copy cooldown is 3 days; each time only one radio signal can be copied.

After 3 days, can switch to another radio signal.

Ghost Radio needs no retrieval by the master; it can be directly activated for use.

Huh?

Holy shit!

Seeing this skill, Chen Yongren's eyes lit up.

This damn skill really came at the right time.

Under the Japanese's strict surveillance, Chen Yongren was worrying about the radio signal matter.

Although one could use the skill to break surveillance, but if the Japanese made a phone call or couldn't get in touch, it would be an unexplainable loophole.

Likewise.

Since there's no need to take out the radio.

Also no need to worry about the radio's transmission/reception issues; can send radio anytime, even sending a telegram in front of the little devils poses no problem.

After all.

The skill can make the radio signal appear at any position.

Any distance within the current city is enough to get rid of suspicion.

Catch?

Even if the little devils catch someone to death, they couldn't possibly find the exact radio; later, when idle, one could still walk the dog for fun.

I, young master, am sending a telegram in the concession; let you guys go search the Japanese Concession.

Even later it could be used to frame someone!

Still wanting to make me breathless, applying pressure, see how this young master will play you now.

Chen Yongren, having obtained the new skill, is very happy.

"Advisor Chen, you seem quite happy, huh?" Gu Yongshan asked.

"We're about to catch the Yellow Weasel, A Ren't you happy?" Chen Yongren said with a smile.

"Of course I'm happy." Gu Yongshan laughed: "The Yellow Weasel has recently caused us a lot of trouble; everyone in Unit 76, up and down, deserves to be killed."

"The Japanese are also very dissatisfied with this; if we can catch him, Advisor Chen will have rendered great merit, and our Unit 76 will also make them look at us anew!"

"Stop flattering me, keep monitoring, report any abnormalities immediately!" Chen Yongren excitedly said: "If we can net the Yellow Weasel and his gang in one sweep, I will definitely not shortchange you!"

"Yes!" Gu Yongshan replied, continuing to monitor.

After fooling Gu Yongshan, Chen Yongren didn't hesitate, immediately copying the Military Statistics Bureau radio stored in the warehouse.

No need to take it out; can directly copy the signal.

【Signal copy successful】

【Current cooldown time 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds】

Skill activated.

【Please master choose this signal's deployment location】

Next second.

Chen Yongren then saw a map of Songhu City appear before his eyes.

Casually selected a location 10 kilometers away from himself.

The map disappeared, and in Chen Yongren's mind appeared a radio model, identical in shape and size to the stored one.

The signal light blinked on and off.

With a thought, the radio beeped repeatedly.

Gu Yongshan, observing the harbor nearby, had no reaction, and couldn't hear the radio's sound at all.

Ghost Radio truly lives up to its name.

Chen Yongren immediately began contacting his superiors.

Soon, the Yucheng side responded.

Just three simple words.

What's wrong?

Boss Dai keenly sensed that something was off.

Chen Yongren casually found an excuse.

He had already prepared to collect the goods, and again confirmed the warehouse location.

Of course, Chen Yongren did this on purpose, just to let them catch the radio signal.

Chen Yongren also cautiously suggested that the Japanese were now looking for the weasel, people in Songhu were panicked, and asked whether they should wait a while.

I've said all the nice things; if the Japanese still catch me red-handed, it won't be my fault.

As expected.

Boss Dai quickly replied, no need to worry; while the Japanese attention is diverted, now is the time to ferry, after successfully obtaining the goods, we will make contact again.

……

Knowing Chen Yongren had started to act, Gao Tian Longyi sent people to monitor him.

Gao Tian Longyi was looking at the design plans of Chen Yongren's villa.

Yesterday the weasel's radio signal did not appear near Chen Yongren's home, which also made Gao Tian Longyi wonder if he had taken some secret passage.

Those wealthy people always like to leave themselves a backdoor.

But looking at the plans, the only passage leading out of the villa is those sewer pipes buried underground.

The pipe only allows a small child to pass; an adult simply cannot.

"How did the inspection of Chen Yongren's home go?" Gao Tian Longyi asked again.

"We thoroughly checked the entire villa; besides the sewer pipes, we have temporarily found no secret passage leading outside." The Japanese soldier shook his head.

It was also quite evasive, not committing to a definite statement.

"How is that little girl at his place? Anything abnormal?" Gao Tian Longyi asked again.

The Japanese soldier shook his head and continued: "Everything is the same as before—going out to buy groceries and cook."

"The shops she frequents, their owners all know her; the owners' identities and the shops pose no problem—all are long-established stores."

"We watched her the whole time; after buying groceries she went straight home, with no contact with strangers—not even dropping something and having someone pick it up."

"Continue monitoring." Gao Tian Longyi said in a low voice.

Teng Yuan Jintai sat nearby, eyes closed, resting, paying no attention to their conversation.

He had already done these things before.

Since Gao Tian Longyi is willing to repeat, let him do it.

Gao Tian Longyi's words had just fallen.

The Japanese monitoring the radio nearby suddenly exclaimed: "The radio, the weasel's radio has appeared again!"

"What?" Gao Tian Longyi exclaimed: "What did they say?"

"The warehouse, the weasel says he's preparing to go to the warehouse!" the Japanese soldier said.

"Quick, quickly send the radio to the monitoring vehicle, ask whether the signal is at Chen Yongren's home or near the port?" Gao Tian Longyi pointed at another Japanese soldier.

"Yes!" he replied, operating the radio before him.

Soon he shook his head again: "The exact location is unclear, but they can confirm the signal is not coming from either of those two places."

"What?" Gao Tian Longyi was dumbfounded.

Chen Yongren had slipped away?

Gao Tian Longyi quickly dialed the hotel phone, connecting to the room where Chen Yongren was.

Chen Yongren was just sending a radio message feigning poverty; hearing the phone on the table beside him, he smiled slightly, picked it up casually, and said calmly.

"Hello?"

"Commander Gao Tian, it's me; what are your orders?"

Teng Yuan Agency.

Hearing Chen Yongren's voice through the receiver, Gao Tian Longyi was somewhat surprised.

The radio was still sounding, yet Chen Yongren could answer the phone normally.

How could this be?

After a moment of silence, Gao Tian Longyi said in a low voice: "The weasel's radio has appeared; they are preparing to collect the goods—everyone get ready, we absolutely cannot let them escape!"
