Chapter 330

"Report?" Sato Yusuke said disdainfully: "Besides that Chinese person, all involved are already dead, and all evidence has been burned."

"How the truth of the matter turns out still depends on how Chen Yongren and that guy named Zhang Haifeng fabricate it."

"After all, Gao Tian Longyi won't crawl out of the ground to refute their words."

"Damn, they're coming for me, Chen Yongren thought to himself, then said aloud: 'My brother was also injured and almost died! The hospital has a record of this.'"

"The hospital can't possibly be helping us lie."

"I also really want to bring to justice the bastard who almost killed my brother!"

"Teng Yuan Jintai nodded: 'I can prove this—at the time Zhang Haifeng was shot and wounded, the bullet was less than a centimeter from his heart; this surely couldn't be an act.'"

"If Zhang Haifeng weren't lucky, he'd probably have died alongside Gao Tian Longyi."

"The course of events is already clearly written in the operation report; we also interrogated Zhang Haifeng and found nothing suspicious."

"You don't need to say more about this; I'll judge for myself." Sato Yusuke gave a soft hum: "From now on, you just need to cooperate with all of our actions."

"Of course."

"If Teng Yuan Jintai has a better plan of action, I'll be happy to cooperate."

"Upon hearing that, Teng Yuan Jintai's face turned ashen."

"It seems I've been stripped of authority again."

"Sato Yusuke again looked at Chen Yongren and said: 'I never expected that a Chinese person could earn so much trust from Agency Director Teng Yuan Jintai—you're truly extraordinary.'"

"Chen Yongren straightened up slightly and didn't say more."

"Sato Jintai stood up: 'We have only a few months left until the Chinese New Year; I hope everyone works sincerely together, takes down the Yellow Weasel, catches the internal spy, and makes it our New Year's gift!'"

"'Hai!' the officers on both sides of the long table all rose and bowed deeply."

"'I don't just want to hear 'yes'; I want results.' Sato Yusuke clapped his hands: 'Take action immediately, don't let up, the surveillance of the Yellow Weasel's radio must not stop.'"

"'Code-breaking team for orders, quickly decipher the radio code, find out what they intend to do!'"

"'Hai!' the officers on both sides bowed again and then left the meeting room."

"Chen Yongren was about to leave with Teng Yuan Jintai."

"'Teng Yuan Jintai, stay a moment.' Sato Yusuke said."

"'Chen Sang, go to my office first.' Teng Yuan Jintai said calmly."

"Although I know they're here to cause trouble, he's been in the intelligence world for a long time and won't be easily intimidated."

"'Yes!' Chen Yongren didn't waste words, turned and left."

"Meanwhile."

"Focus the insight on Teng Yuan Jintai and Sato Yusuke."

"Teng Yuan Jintai's meeting room is out of range of the wind‑ear ability; we can only use insight to know what they're thinking."

"'Teng Yuan Jintai, you really have found a loyal subordinate.' Sato Yusuke glanced at Chen Yongren's retreating back and gave a light chuckle."

"'Sato Yusuke, our time is precious; that Yellow Weasel fellow has been in frequent communication with the Chongqing side lately—I don't know what they're plotting.' Teng Yuan Jintai said."

"'Given how bad things are, we should focus our thoughts on where they ought to be.'"

"'Teng Yuan Jintai, you've worked so hard—why haven't you caught the Yellow Weasel yet?' Sato Yusuke sneered."

"Teng Yuan Jintai felt a bit embarrassed."

"'Sato Yusuke added: 'I recall that since Cao Qirui died, the position of director of the 76th Operations Bureau has remained vacant.'"

"Teng Yuan Jintai nodded."

"'Sato Yusuke added: 'This might also be an opportunity for us to learn about the 76th Operations Bureau; we can't rely on a bunch of Chinese to assist our counter‑espionage work.'"

"'You don't understand—this bunch is even more ruthless when dealing with their own kind than we are.' Teng Yuan Jintai said."

"'So we need to find out whether anyone inside is secretly carrying out sabotage.' Sato Yusuke said."

"'I've long realized this: the director of the Confidential Bureau, Han Chen, is our agent Lai Ming Zeye, who has been responsible for monitoring the 76th Operations Bureau.' Teng Yuan Jintai said arrogantly."

"'One Confidential Bureau is far from enough; information leaks exist everywhere, especially the commanders who directly direct operations—they must not be entrusted to outsiders.' Sato Yusuke said."

"'At the same time, we also need to curb the strength of the 76th Operations Bureau, prevent them from developing too quickly—this bunch could betray their former masters, and they could just as easily betray us.'"

"Teng Yuan Jintai knew that this fellow still suspected Chen Yongren of having a problem; while restricting the development of the 76th Operations Bureau, he also wanted to take the opportunity to monitor Chen Yongren."

"'Should we inform Lai Mingjun?' Teng Yuan Jintai asked: 'If they know in advance, they can also look out for each other.'"

"'No.' After a moment's thought, Sato Yusuke refused: 'Since it's a covert operation, naturally the fewer people who know, the better.'"

"Sato Yusuke originally had no intention of informing Teng Yuan Jintai."

"But on second thought, this is also an opportunity to test."

"If Chen Yongren finds out that I've placed a mole in the 76th Operations Bureau, it will simply be Teng Yuan Jintai leaking secrets."

After chatting a few more sentences, Sato Yusuke finally sent Fujiwara Chikata away, while he himself remained in the meeting room, carefully reviewing information related to the weasel.

This weasel guy is really a tough one.

Almost every operation inflicted great trauma on the Riben Songhu intelligence department.

At the same time.

He was also considering how to verify Chen Yongren's identity.

No matter how reliable others say something is, it's no substitute for verifying it oneself.

Chen Yongren, far away in Fujiwara Chikata's office, had already learned through insight that that old Sato was preparing to plant a spy at No. 76.

No matter what moves he made, the young master kept up.

The office door was pushed open, and Fujiwara Chikata walked in with a dark face.

"Fujiwara Uncle." With no outsiders in the room, Chen Yongren rose to greet him.

Fujiwara Chikata's expression was grave as he directly said: "You've seen everything that happened today; what do you think?"

Chen Yongren nodded: "He's trying to undermine your influence; rather than saying he's picking on me, it's more like he's pointing at the mulberry tree while cursing the locust tree."

"Chen Sang, you're really smart." Fujiwara Kinta muttered: "So we definitely need to achieve some results."

Without Fujiwara Kinta saying much, Chen Yongren also had this intention, thinking about how to use his position to let Fujiwara Kinta earn more merits, and by the way, give that damn dog a blow!

Since we want to come to Songhu for investigation, it wouldn't do to not bring a small greeting gift.

After work.

Chen Yongren disguised himself as Xiao Tu and quickly completed the transaction with Chen Dian.

The shipment also came from his own port, so safety goes without saying; the receipt location was within Chen Yongren's expectations.

Xiangjiang.

The next day, upon arriving at No. 76, Chen Yongren heard that the new Songhu government had appointed a new director of the operations bureau to No. 76.

Soon.

Chen Yongren then saw this guy in the office.

"Advisor Chen, hello."

Seeing Chen Yongren walk into the office, a Mediterranean-looking middle-aged man proactively extended his hand to Chen Yongren and said: "I am the newly arrived director of the operations bureau."

"Nie Yu!"
