Chapter 355: Surveillance Continues, the Military Statistics Bureau Issues Orders

The surveillance noticed Chen Yongren's morning grumpiness; who would dare to be the one to stick his head out?

Finally Chen Yongren still felt dissatisfied, and kicked Nie Yu to the ground with another foot: "Speak, what's the matter?"

"If I find out you're bothering my sleep with trivial nonsense, I'll drag you all to the range and have you shot!"

"Consultant Chen, it's like this: that mysterious car has appeared again! Director Tengyuan orders you to immediately bring people to blockade the concession port and search for its whereabouts." Nie Yu said honestly.

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!" Chen Yongren then slapped Nie Yu across the face.

Nie Yu wanted to cry but had no tears; this isn't that I didn't speak, it's clearly that you didn't give me a chance to speak.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Chen Yongren pointed at Nie Yu and shouted: "Hurry up and bring people to blockade the intersection, or are you waiting for me to treat you to a late-night snack?"

"Yes!" Nie Yu covered his face and hurried away.

The throng of lackeys hurriedly followed behind him.

"They didn't give you a hard time, did they? Thanks for your hard work today." Chen Yongren said.

Lin Ke Xin shook her head: "This is all my duty as a subordinate."

"You go rest first." Seeing her fatigued state, Chen Yongren said.

After all, that little vixen had taken a sleeping pill.

"Yes!" Lin Ke Xin didn't decline, turned and went back to her room to rest.

Chen Yongren walked to the phone and dialed Tengyuan Jintai's number.

The old devil Tengyuan had already learned that the decryption team had been wiped out.

He simply couldn't figure it out—he didn't even know the exact location of the decryption team, let alone how the attackers who hit the ship found them.

That was a whole ship.

How could it be sunk by a car?

Especially when the old devil Tengyuan learned that the ship might have suffered heavy bombardment, his head buzzed even more.

Just what kind of car is that?

Not only can it operate on land, it can even fight on the sea?

The investigation into the car has yielded no results, and they simply cannot know where the car went.

Tengyuan Jintai felt only that his worldview had been overturned.

Judging by the time, that ship couldn't have lasted long; otherwise the support forces would have seen that car.

Tengyuan Jintai irritably scratched his head and glanced at his watch.

Nie Yu and his team should have already arrived at Chen Yongren's home, so why hasn't any word come through?

Did they see him, or not?

Just as Tengyuan Jintai had this thought, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

He answered the call.

"Director Tengyuan, has that car appeared again?"

Chen Yongren's voice sounded.

"Chen Sang?" Tengyuan Jintai blinked: "Did Nie Yu find you?"

"I've been sleeping at home all along—how could I not be found?" Chen Yongren feigned confusion.

"Director Tengyuan, Nie Yu says that car has launched another attack on us?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Tengyuan Jintai took a deep breath, briefly explained the situation, hiding the fact that the attacked party was the decryption team.

"On the sea?" Chen Yongren exclaimed in surprise: "How could a car possibly travel on the sea? This is too absurd—could they be fabricating lies to avoid responsibility?"

"Impossible, because they have no reason to lie." Tengyuan Jintai gritted his teeth: "That car is too strange—sometimes on land, sometimes on the sea."

"And now it's vanished without a trace; I suspect someone in Songhu is covering for them—perhaps this is the work of the weasel."

"In all of Songhu, besides that guy, I can't think of anyone else."

"Chen Sang, this car is too weird; we can't keep being clueless about it!"

"Yes, Director Tengyuan, I understand." Chen Yongren said.

Tengyuan Jintai was about to say more when he heard Nie Yu's voice outside the door; the old devil immediately covered the mouthpiece: "Come in."

Afterwards he casually gave Chen Yongren a few reminders, then hung up.

"Major His Excellency." Nie Yu hurried forward and stood at attention, bowing deeply.

Seeing Nie Yu's cheek bearing a slap mark, Tengyuan Jintai said dumbfounded: "Songshan Jun, what's this?"

Nie Yu gritted his teeth and reported the whole story in detail.

"I've wronged you, Songshan Jun; rest assured, once the operation ends I will surely compensate you properly." Tengyuan Jintai began to make promises.

Nie Yu hastily said: "Sharing the Major His Excellency's burdens is my honor; it's certainly not out of greed for those rewards."

Tengyuan Jintai nodded: "You just said that when you knocked on the door, Lin Ke Xin was blocking the way?"

"Yes." Nie Yu answered honestly.

"And you personally saw Chen Yongren come out of the house?" Tengyuan Jintai pressed.

"That's right."

We'll find out tomorrow by asking Lin Ke Xin; lying would be pointless.

Tengyuan Jintai frowned, deep in thought.

Lin Ke Xin didn't know the details either; since she was lurking by Chen Yongren's side and willing to protect him, it wasn't strange at all.

Moreover, Lin Ke Xin had just arrived in Songhu and didn't even know Chen Yongren—how could she possibly help him cover up?

"Are you sure Chen Yongren didn't sneak back to the villa from outside?" Tengyuan Jintai asked.

Nie Yu stood at attention and said: "Certainly—at that time his home was practically surrounded by me in an ironclad ring; not even a fly could get in, let alone a grown person."

At that time I wanted to push Lin Ke Xin aside, force my way in, and then Chen Yongren opened the door…

Saying this, Nie Yu rubbed their face.

Tengyuan Jintai frowned, deep in thought.

Upon receiving the news that the code-breaking team had been attacked, they sent people to guard outside Chen Yongren's home.

In such a short time, Chen Yongren could not have blown up the steamship, swiftly detoured around the layered blockades on the streets, hidden the car, and returned home before Nie Yu arrived.

From this, it can be seen that the person who attacked the code-breaking team at that time was not Chen Yongren.

Tengyuan Jintai stroked their chin.

After so many years in intelligence work, Tengyuan Jintai encountered such a thorny problem for the first time.

Not only had the local area of Songhu not discovered it, but outside agents had also not heard that the National Government was developing some new type of weapon.

"Director Tengyuan, what should we do next?" Seeing Tengyuan Jintai remain silent, Nie Yu asked.

"Maintain the status quo, continue monitoring him." After pondering for a moment, Tengyuan Jintai said in a low voice: "Pay close attention to who this person has recently been in contact with, and who they have been in contact with most frequently."

"Yes!" Nie Yu straightened up and hurried away.

……

Early the next morning.

When Chen Yongren woke up, Lin Ke Xin had already prepared breakfast, and a latest newspaper was placed on the table.

They ate heartily.

Lin Ke Xin served as the driver.

Chen Yongren sat in the back seat, as usual turned on the Ghost Radio, casually picked a location in the suburbs, and began contacting the Yu City side.

Having completed the procedure.

Chen Yongren began to report, having successfully completed the achievements of annihilating the Fujiwara Agency's code-breaking team and assassinating high-ranking officials of the puppet government during the consolation rally.

The Yu City side soon responded.

First came high praise and commendation for Huang Shu Lang's recent mission, as well as the big promises of rewards, medals, promotions, and the like to feed Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren thanked as usual, and was about to turn off the radio.

Unexpectedly, the Yu City side soon sent another telegram.

It ordered Chen Yongren to, while the current limelight has passed, quickly make some extra money for the Military Statistics Bureau and raise operational funds.
