Chapter 316: Getting Ready to Watch the Fireworks

We don't know whether the person who delivered the codebook is male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, nor where we should investigate this matter.

But this matter made Gao Tian Longyi very excited.

Replace the codebook?

Doesn't this mean that as long as we keep a close watch on Chen Yongren, we can tell whether he's problematic?

If this guy is a weasel, he would surely be more anxious than anyone to get the codebook and restore contact with the Yu City side.

As an agent, the thing most to be avoided is losing contact with the organization.

Once out of contact with the organization for a long time,

This guy is like a kite with its string cut; given the complex situation in Songhu, if we then announce outwardly that we've captured the weasel,

He will surely arouse suspicion from the Yu City side.

Chen Yongren also plans to use the imminent delivery of the new codebook to get rid of Gao Tian Longyi.

Under Chen Yongren's hint, when the codebook was due to arrive in Songhu with just one day left, Zhang Haifeng also brought a piece of news to Gao Tian Longyi.

"Director Gao, Chen Yongren has recently taken leave; it seems he has something he wants to do," Zhang Haifeng said frankly.

"Mr. Zhang, is what you're saying true?" Gao Tian Longyi said excitedly: "Did Chen Yongren tell you not to follow him tomorrow because he has some private matters to attend to?"

"Yes, Director Gao!" Zhang Haifeng said: "This matter is too strange; he normally doesn't avoid me for anything he does, but this time he strictly forbade me from following him."

"Tell me, his friend has an odd temper; I'm worried I might offend him."

Hearing these words, Gao Tian Jintai immediately became energized.

The new codebook was about to be delivered, but Chen Yongren wanted to shake off Zhang Haifeng at this moment.

Could there be some connection among them?

Chen Yongren wants to meet that contact person; because Zhang Haifeng is an outsider, it's inconvenient to bring this guy along!

Chen Yongren indeed has a problem.

This matter is absolutely no coincidence!

Damn Chen Yongren, I've finally caught your tail!

Gao Tian Longyi immediately grabbed the phone, intending to report this to Teng Yuan Jintai and deploy an operation to capture Chen Yongren.

Once this guy shows any abnormal behavior, we can directly apprehend him.

But soon, Gao Tian Longyi realized something else.

Teng Yuan Jintai trusts Chen Yongren greatly.

Gao Tian Longyi's face looked grim.

At present there is no evidence that can prove Chen Yongren is the weasel.

Unless we catch him red-handed, Teng Yuan Jintai will only think that I'm again trying to give Chen Yongren a hard time.

Gao Tian Longyi immediately abandoned the idea of reporting.

He had a headache; when he came to Songhu he hadn't brought many people, and after leaving the Military Police, it was out of the question to transfer personnel from his original unit.

Moreover, even if he could transfer them, there wouldn't be enough time.

For surveilling Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng, Gao Tian Longyi used only his own people, not daring to use Teng Yuan Jintai's subordinates for fear they'd leak the information.

Now the manpower has been allotted to surveilling Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng; the people available, counting himself, total only three.

"Where is his friend?" Gao Tian Longyi asked.

"It seems to be on Huaihai Middle Road..." Zhang Haifeng said mysteriously: "Siweier Apartment, Room 302."

"Siweier Apartment?" Gao Tian Longyi frowned.

That is one of Songhu's most prosperous commercial districts, located in the heart of Shanghai.

"That's right, Chen Yongren said he would go pick him up at 11 a. m.; I didn't hear any more details," Zhang Haifeng said after thinking a moment.

"I think if we catch that guy before he meets the person, we'll understand everything!"

No more talk, seize him!

Gao Tian Longyi had no hesitation; the chance to capture Chen Yongren was right before him, and he was unwilling to give it up easily.

"Mr. Zhang, I guarantee you that if Chen Yongren is toppled from this, his advisory position will be yours!"

"Yes, thank you, Director Gao, for your cultivation!" Zhang Haifeng beamed with excitement.

"Go back, try to stay normal; you must not let him notice anything abnormal!" Gao Tian Longyi cautioned.

"Yes!" Zhang Haifeng immediately straightened up.

After picking up Chen Yongren at night and taking him home, the two communicated in Morse code in the car.

"Gao Tian Longyi has been taken in; he already plans to go to Siweier Apartment tomorrow," Zhang Haifeng said.

Chen Yongren's mouth curled into a smile: "Remember, you must definitely drive my car."

"Your car?" Zhang Haifeng wondered: "Gao has a dedicated vehicle assigned; would he drive your car?"

"Gao's car will break down tomorrow; he'll only be able to drive this one," Chen Yongren said, laughing happily.

"No problem," Zhang Haifeng replied directly.

"Remember, ten minutes after the first horn blast, you must find a way to get out of the car," Chen Yongren said: "Otherwise, you'll have to watch the fireworks together with Gao Tian Longyi."

"Fireworks?" Zhang Haifeng seemed to think of something, and a chill involuntarily rose in his heart.

Chen Yongren looked at his own vehicle with a face full of nostalgia.

What a fine car— a shame he never got to really enjoy it; now he'll have to be buried alongside Gao Tian Longyi.

Having recently completed an assassination mission successfully, besides the cash reward, Chen Yongren also acquired a new skill called 'Blasting Master'.

【Blasting Master】: The owner can freely modify explosives, including but not limited to the blast mode, freely control the blast direction and power, and instantly locate a building's blast point.

Such a good skill must not be wasted.

That night, after returning home, Chen Yongren immediately took explosives from the warehouse, remodeled them into a time bomb, wired them, and placed them in the car.

As long as the switch on the bomb is opened tomorrow and the car starts, the timer device will be triggered and will explode in 10 minutes.

Although there are also some time bombs now, the crude manufacturing makes timed detonation very difficult.

But with the blasting master skill in hand, there's absolutely no need to worry about these things.

In the evening, Chen Yongren called Fujiwara Yuko, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

The call went through.

"Yuko, it's me, Chen Yongren." Chen Yongren said into the phone.

On the other end of the line, there was a moment of surprise, then a delighted voice sounded: "Yongren-kun, it's you!"

But soon, the voice's owner sounded a bit resentful: "You still remember to call me; I thought you had forgotten me!"

"Work has been busy lately; are you free tomorrow?" Chen Yongren smiled and said: "How about I take you out shopping to relax?"

Fujiwara Yuko makes such a good witness, naturally we should make good use of her.

"No problem." Fujiwara Yuko readily agreed.

"Then we'll meet tomorrow." Chen Yongren smiled and hung up.

Early the next morning.

Chen Yongren hailed a rickshaw and picked up Fujiwara Yuko.

At the same time.

Fujiwara Agency.

As soon as Takada Ryuichi arrived, Fujiwara Chikata summoned him to a meeting; after barely making it through, it was already 10:30.

Seeing that time was running short, he immediately brought his subordinates and rushed out.

"Chief Takada, you finally showed up!" Zhang Haifeng hurried to Takada Ryuichi's side.

"Get in the car!" Takada Ryuichi said with a dark face.

Everyone hurried into the car, but after trying for a while, the engine wouldn't start.

"Damn!" Takada Ryuichi exclaimed in anger.

"Drive my car!" Zhang Haifeng said at once: "Chen Yongren isn't working today, so this car is mine; feel free to drive it!"
