Chapter 317: Death Countdown

Capturing Chen Yongren is urgent; Gao Tianlongyi didn't think much and immediately agreed with Zhang Haifeng's suggestion.

Zhang Haifeng quickly ran to the front of the car, covered the license plate, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Wearing military uniforms might alert the contact, so we'll all change into civilian clothes." Zhang Haifeng turned and said, "I've prepared clothes in the car, three sets total, just enough for you."

"Mr. Zhang, your preparations are truly thorough." Gao Tianlongyi only then noticed that Zhang Haifeng was wearing civilian clothes today.

Anxious to catch the weasel, Gao Tianlongyi didn't think much about this either.

Everyone in the car quickly changed clothes, and the sedan drove nonstop toward the Sveir Apartment.

……

When Gao Tianlongyi finished the meeting and brought Zhang Haifeng rushing to the destination,

Chen Yongren and Teng Yuan Yizi had already finished strolling the street, and the two were having a meal at a restaurant on Huaihai Middle Road.

Teng Yuan Yizi sat beside Chen Yongren, propping her chin with one hand, quietly gazing at him, her eyes shining.

"Yizi, what's wrong?" Chen Yongren was earnestly cutting his steak.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time; let me take a good look at you." Teng Yuan Yizi said softly.

"It's fine; as long as Yizi likes it, you can look wherever you want." Chen Yongren was very generous.

Teng Yuan Yizi blinked, then lowered her head and coquettishly said, "How annoying, you're teasing me again."

"You're my girlfriend, so of course you can look however you want, Yizi—where did your thoughts go?" Chen Yongren had an expression of sudden realization: "Yizi you…"

Teng Yuan Yizi's face flushed with two blushes, she let out a soft hum and said, "You still know I'm your girlfriend, yet you haven't come to see me in so long, and you didn't even call me."

"I want to, too, but work's been really busy lately; I get off only at night, and I'm also afraid of disturbing your rest." Chen Yongren feigned helplessness.

"If it's you, how could it be considered a disturbance?" Teng Yuan Yizi pouted.

"If you keep pouting, you could tie up a little donkey." Chen Yongren ruffled Teng Yuan Yizi's head, then speared a small piece of beef, dipped it in the thick sauce, and brought it to her lips: "This restaurant's steak is not bad; try it."

Taking the opportunity of feeding Teng Yuan Yizi, Chen Yongren ground the sleeping pill into powder and sprinkled it into the juice in front of her.

A large dose would make Teng Yuan Yizi sleep too long, so this time Chen Yongren used only half a tablet.

Teng Yuan Yizi's attention was entirely on Chen Yongren, so she didn't notice his small movements at all,

watching the meat strip brought to her lips, she lifted her head, opened her small mouth, and accepted Chen Yongren's feeding.

Nothing tastes better than the food personally fed by Yongren-kun.

After biting the beef and tasting two bites, Teng Yuan Yizi immediately nodded and said, "Mm, delicious!"

"As long as you like it, our long wait wasn't in vain." Chen Yongren continued feeding.

Teng Yuan Yizi enjoyed it greatly, occasionally taking a few sips of drink.

Seeing some sauce on the corner of her mouth, Chen Yongren extended his index finger and lightly wiped it.

But Teng Yuan Yizi quickly reached out and grabbed Chen Yongren's hand, playfully sucking his index finger tip, her agile tongue swiftly sweeping over his fingertip.

This little girl, where did she learn these?

Looking at Chen Yongren's gaze, Teng Yuan Yizi also felt surprised at her own sudden bold move, not knowing why she just did it.

Embarrassed, Teng Yuan Yizi pulled his hand out and suddenly said, "Yongren-kun, I'm a bit tired; can we find a place to rest?"

Seeing her drowsy state, Chen Yongren knew the sleeping pill had taken effect, he reached out to test her forehead temperature, and feigned concern: "Yizi, any discomfort? I'll take you to the hospital now."

"It's fine, just suddenly feeling a bit dizzy; resting a while will do." Teng Yuan Yizi leaned against Chen Yongren's chest and murmured.

"Then I'll first take you to rest." Chen Yongren led Teng Yuan Yizi to the hotel beside the restaurant, opened a room, and had her lie on the bed.

"Don't go." Teng Yuan Yizi tugged Chen Yongren's hand and acted coquettishly.

"I'm not going anywhere." Chen Yongren said softly.

"Mm, stay with me for a rest, then we'll continue our date…" Teng Yuan Yizi responded and slowly fell asleep.

After confirming Teng Yuan Yizi had fallen asleep, Chen Yongren slipped away and hurried to the predetermined meeting point.

The predetermined meeting point is only one street away from the Delos Restaurant.

Only if Chen Yongren appears near Huaihai Middle Road can it be explained that the Military Statistics Bureau personnel discovered his trail, then his vehicle, and thus launched an attack against him.

As expected, it's another old acquaintance of Chen Yongren.

Lin Dayou.

"A Ren, here!" Seeing Chen Yongren running over, Lin Dayou hastily waved.

"This is the latest code; after obtaining it, find an opportunity to send a telegram to the Yu Cheng side to confirm safety!" Lin Dayou quickly handed Chen Yongren a codebook.

"No problem." Chen Yongren stuffed the codebook into his pocket and directly hid it in the system.

The situation is urgent; now is not the time for idle chat.

After the two finished meeting, they each went their separate ways.

Chen Yongren quickly flipped through the codebook once.

With the eidetic memory skill in hand, he soon memorized the entire content of the codebook.

Having suffered from the previous breach by the Japanese, this time the Yu Cheng side used multi-layer encryption for the code, making decryption more complex and hard to find a pattern.

After memorizing the codebook's content, Chen Yongren quickly changed his appearance and clothes and hurried toward the Sveir Apartment.

Blowing up Gao Tianlongyi and his group poses no problem.

But if Zhang Haifeng isn't injured at all, that makes no sense, so he must be wounded.

With the marksmanship skill of never missing, Chen Yongren has absolute confidence to wound Zhang Haifeng without killing him.

Soon he arrived at the roof of the predetermined building and aimed at the street.

……

In order to get there as quickly as possible, Gao Tianlongyi and his group took routes with relatively fewer people and vehicles, smooth sailing all the way until they were ten minutes away from the Sveir Apartment.

Only then did the first horn sound.

Zhang Haifeng raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

Although the current time bomb's quality is terrible, it is likely to explode prematurely, but Zhang Haifeng still believes in Chen Yongren's demolition skills.

Only when there were still two minutes left did Zhang Haifeng say: "Director Gao Tian, why don't we first park the car near the stretch close to Siweier Apartment?"

"Let me go inside first to check the situation?"

"Since they want to meet up, they will definitely be extremely careful; if they accidentally alert the person they're meeting, that would be bad."

"There is only one entrance to the apartment; as long as we block this road, we don't have to worry about catching anyone."

After a pause, Zhang Haifeng again said: "If Director Gao Tian doesn't trust me, you can send someone to accompany me in checking…"

Zhang Haifeng made a good point; if too many people go at once, it might alert the target. Gao Tian Longyi pondered and said: "Mr. Zhang, you go up first!"

"Remember, don't get discovered!"
