Chapter 309: Eavesdropping

"Thank you, Director Gao Tian, for the reminder. I will definitely keep it safe." Chen Yongren happily took it in hand and carefully inspected it.

It's fine, it's fine, no scratches, and the function is normal.

If my gift is destroyed, my good friend will definitely be very upset.

He paused.

Chen Yongren gritted his teeth and said, "Damn weasel, actually used my most precious gift to frame me."

I must ferret out this bastard who almost ruined my good memories.

Seeing Chen Yongren treasure this watch so much, Tengyuan Jintai secretly nodded.

His daughter really didn't misjudge the person.

After comforting Chen Yongren, he then took Gao Tianyi and left Chen Yongren's home.

Chen Yongren, whose face was originally full of smiles, immediately put away his smile.

The weasel didn't kill Gao Tianyi, but instead almost got himself killed; not taking proper revenge is not the weasel's style.

Putting that aside.

I, young master, also got shot—that's a fact; this score must naturally be settled with those little devils!

After putting Hua Lei to sleep here, Chen Yongren changed clothes again and left the villa under the cover of night.

"Rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrow," Chen Yongren still chose to start killing Japanese puppet agents in places farther from home.

Late night.

A certain apartment in the Japanese Concession.

A Japanese spy trembling like chaff had his throat slit by Chen Yongren.

At the same time.

A system prompt sounded.

【Congratulations, master, successfully killed one Japanese agent, obtained skill 'Electronic Dog'】

Huh?

Upon hearing this prompt, Chen Yongren, who was wiping blood off his knife, had his eyes light up.

After killing five little devils, previously only giving money, now finally gave a skill.

However, what the heck is this Electronic Dog?

Chen Yongren immediately opened the panel.

【Electronic Dog】: Any electronic eavesdropping device within 100 meters centered on the master will be alerted and displayed.

Heh heh.

This is really a good thing.

Although the office currently has no eavesdropping equipment, who knows if Gao Tianyi that bastard, unable to find evidence, frustrated, might want to eavesdrop.

Being able to warn in advance also allows preparation.

After all.

When arriving at an uninhabited unfamiliar place, one doesn't know what the environment actually is.

Having this skill also allows advance warning.

Maybe it could even turn the tables on the enemy.

After gaining a skill, Chen Yongren then went home to rest.

That night, Chen Yongren slept very soundly.

But Gao Tianyi wasn't in the mood to sleep; his failure to vet Chen Yongren led to him being severely scolded by Tengyuan Jintai.

Now, the originally messy room has been cleaned up, and the window has been urgently replaced with a new one.

Gao Tianyi sat at the desk, seriously recalling the scene when he was attacked.

Figure.

Accent.

And that watch.

Especially those eyes, which are clearly the same as Chen Yongren's.

But what's up with the wound?

There must be something wrong somewhere.

Gao Tianyi is very clear that this vetting failure could very likely lead to problems in the subsequent investigation of Chen Yongren.

As a military police veteran, he has arrested who knows how many people, and he fully understands the consequences of this.

Simple surveillance is no longer very effective; we must think of a new method to obtain more information about Chen Yongren.

Eavesdropping!

Gao Tianyi's mind instantly conjured these two words.

Within the agency, the most abundant thing is advanced eavesdropping equipment.

Besides his home and office, we need to install eavesdroppers.

Cars are also a good opportunity for conversation…

Recorder!

Given Chen Yongren's status, there are dedicated personnel checking his vehicle when he gets in and out; at that time we can arrange for someone to place the recorder inside, then retrieve it after he goes to work.

Thinking of this.

Gao Tianyi had no hesitation and immediately made a phone call.

Soon, a second lieutenant appeared before Gao Tianyi.

Gao Tianyi also had no nonsense, directly saying: "Tomorrow morning, while that woman goes out, we'll install a few more eavesdroppers in Chen Yongren's home."

It's best to place one in every room, doing as much as possible to achieve comprehensive eavesdropping.

"But how do we solve the wiring problem?" the second lieutenant asked.

The longer the eavesdropping wire, the poorer the effect; installation is not exactly a difficult task.

But we can't have everyone squatting by the wall while eavesdropping.

"I remember that next to Chen Yongren's house there is a villa for rent; we should try to lease it. Remember, we cannot use a Japanese identity." Gao Tianyi muttered.

"Chen Yongren is a very shrewd fellow; this will arouse his vigilance."

"Hai!" the Japanese second lieutenant didn't say more, stood at attention and accepted the order.

Gao Tianyi also said: "Also, install a few more bugs in his office."

After pondering a moment, Gao Tianyi again said: "While his office is empty, immediately arrange people to install them; tomorrow night I want to hear all of his recordings from that day!"

"Besides, also put a recorder in his car!"

"Leave that one until tomorrow morning; thereafter, when he comes to work, take out the old recorder and replace it with a new one."

"Yes!" the Japanese second lieutenant stood at attention and accepted the order, then asked again: "What about the funds?"

"Renting a villa requires a large sum of money."

"If we ask the General Affairs office for money, if they know we want to eavesdrop on Chen Yongren, Fujiwara certainly won't agree either."

Upon hearing that, Gao Tianyi furrowed his brows.

That remark is indeed not bad.

After a moment of silence, Gao Tianyi said: "When the time comes, I'll give you the money; don't worry about the funds."

"Yes!" the Japanese second lieutenant stood at attention.

"Make the arrangements quickly." Gao Tianyi waved his hand.

Watching the backs of his subordinates as they left, Gao Tianyi wore a satisfied smile.

Chen Yongren.

Let me see what surprises you can bring me.

Are you truly loyal to the Locust Army!

Gao Tianyi naturally has no other sources of income; it's all the allowances from his time as military police and the bonuses for completing missions.

He originally planned to retire from service, buy a fertile plot of land, and live out his years there.

But now.

As long as we can identify Chen Yongren's identity, everything will be worth it!

The next morning.

Chen Yongren went to work as usual.

Walking out of the office, the system alert suddenly sounded.

【Detected eavesdropping device inside the master's office; its exact location has been displayed for the master. Please check.】

A bug?

Although Chen Yongren had considered that he might be under surveillance,

he didn't expect Gao Tianyi, this little scoundrel, to act so quickly?

The skill really came at the right time.

Eavesdrop on me?

Maybe in the next life.

Chen Yongren calmly walked into the office, looked around, and saw a shining spot on the wooden wall behind his seat.

It seems that spot is where Gao Tianyi installed the bug.

Damn bastard.

Gao Tianyi moved quickly.

Chen Yongren can be sure.

This is Gao Tianyi acting on his own without permission from Fujiwara Chikata.

Chen Yongren also couldn't be bothered to expose it; he simply pretended the bug didn't exist.
