Chapter 370: Meeting Grey Bear

"Yes!"

Chen Yongren gave a casual reply, hearing that old devil let out a few farts, then left the office.

He returned to Office 76 for the regular meeting.

At the meeting, Chen Yongren emphasized safety and the issue of personnel recruitment.

Although many people had died at Office 76 recently, there might still be those who want money but don't care about their lives.

Chen Yongren was also busy with Office 76's trivial matters; each day he just waited for Lin Ke Xin to finish the documents, then sign them, and find the old devil to get money and allocate funds.

A few days later, the uproar over the attack on Office 76 had somewhat subsided.

Only then did Chen Yongren begin preparing to contact Lin Ke Xin.

Considering safety, they definitely could not let Lin Ke Xin know their true identities when they met.

Chen Yongren also chose to take a day off.

Lin Ke Xin was Chen Yongren's personal secretary; to better take care of him, she would also take a day off under normal circumstances.

Lin Ke Xin also used buying personal items as an excuse, changed into casual clothes, and left the villa.

This little vixen wasn't lying.

Whether it was her Military Statistics Bureau affiliation or her Red Party identity, both remained dormant and had not been activated.

After all, Lin Ke Xin was a woman and occasionally bought some daily necessities for herself.

Even while in hiding, one must live normally; otherwise, wouldn't that arouse even more suspicion?

Before Lin Ke Xin went out, Chen Yongren casually used a tracking device on her to better pinpoint her location.

This little vixen wasn't low in intelligence; she worried about being tailed, so after going out she waited a while in an alley, and only after confirming no one was following did she continue moving.

She still had plenty of tricks up her sleeve.

Chen Yongren muttered a complaint, instantly changed his appearance and clothes, then began tailing Lin Ke Xin.

Since he could know her location in real time, Chen Yongren did not make sudden contact but kept a distant tail, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly.

Chen Yongren then saw Lin Ke Xin dart into a shop.

According to his memory, this was originally a commercial street; recently no new businesses had been added, and he had scanned the identities of those small shop owners—nothing unusual.

Lin Ke Xin probably saw something she liked and wanted to buy some to take home.

Chen Yongren was thinking about that.

A phantom phone suddenly rang with a ding-ling-ling.

"Huh?"

"Who's calling at this time?"

Chen Yongren didn't think much of it and casually answered.

Lin Ke Xin's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Boss, I'm out shopping; I wanted to ask if you need anything—I'll pick some up for you on the way back."

"Shopping?"

Chen Yongren suddenly realized.

This little vixen's shopping was a pretense; her real aim was to test whether he was at home.

100 catties of weight, 99 catties of devious mind.

"No need, just take care of yourself. Remember to buy vegetables and go home. I'm in a good mood today and want to cook to improve our life." Chen Yongren gave a casual reply and hung up.

Even if Lin Ke Xin were incredibly resourceful, she could never imagine that no matter where she was, she could always be reached by phone.

Not long after, Chen Yongren saw Lin Ke Xin walk out of the shop.

As he passed her, he took a contact slip from the warehouse, hid it in his palm, and quickly slipped it into her clothing pocket.

Having done what needed to be done, all that remained was to wait until evening to meet Lin Ke Xin.

Until the afternoon, Lin Ke Xin finally returned home with many bags of purchases, exchanged a brief greeting with Chen Yongren, then went back to her room to change clothes.

After strolling around, her mood improved considerably.

Lin Ke Xin casually tossed her handbag onto the bed, instinctively slipped her hand into her pocket, and suddenly felt something inside.

She took it out and found it was a blank sheet of paper.

She unfolded it to look.

First to catch her eye was a string of meaningless characters.

It was obviously specially encrypted; outsiders couldn't understand it at all.

But Lin Ke Xin instinctively clenched the paper slip.

The content of the cipher was nothing else.

It was precisely telling her that, starting now, Agent Grey Bear had ended its hibernation and was officially activated.

As for whether it was fake…

The confidentiality of this cipher was extremely high.

So high that only one person knew it; if this cipher went wrong, the entire intelligence operations of China would suffer.

So high that only one person knows; if this secret code runs into trouble, then all of Huaxia's intelligence operations will go wrong together.

How could someone slip the note into her pocket without a sound?

If he intended to harm her…

Lin Ke Xin calmed her emotions.

The following content is the contact time and location.

12:05 a. m., France Park.

Weasel stays.

Finally here!

Lin Ke Xin's eyes lit up; at last she had a chance to contact the weasel!

After eating dinner early and clearing the table, Lin Ke Xin returned to her room, sat on a chair, and patiently waited until the early morning arrived.

To avoid raising Lin Ke Xin's suspicions, Chen Yongren still made her feel tired, but also precisely controlled the timing, ensuring she wouldn't oversleep.

Suddenly.

Lin Ke Xin jolted awake from sleep, with no time to lament why she had fallen asleep again, and hastily lifted her hand to check the time.

There was still an hour and a half until the appointed time.

"Huu…"

"Good, there's still time!"

Lin Ke Xin patted her chest, took a long breath, and was relieved she hadn't overslept.

She then carefully got out of bed, opened the door, tiptoed to Chen Yongren's door, pressed her ear against it, but heard nothing inside.

After thinking, Lin Ke Xin gently turned the knob on Chen Yongren's door, wanting to test whether he was asleep.

As Lin Ke Xin expected, the door wouldn't open, but there was no one speaking inside.

After waiting patiently a while longer, confirming Chen Yongren had truly fallen asleep, Lin Ke Xin then left the villa.

Meanwhile.

Chen Yongren inside the house also opened his eyes, and after Lin Ke Xin left, he disguised himself, departed the villa, got ahead of her, and arrived at France Park.

Late at night, with no one else strolling about, Lin Ke Xin quickly found Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren also pretended to notice Lin Ke Xin.

The highest-level contact password was enough to prove this person was trustworthy, and Lin Ke Xin quickly walked to Chen Yongren's side.

That said, Lin Ke Xin still applied a simple disguise.

"Are you a member of the Weasel Team?" Lin Ke Xin sized up the man before her.

Chen Yongren nodded, then deliberately using a hoarse voice asked, "Gray Bear?"

Lin Ke Xin: "It's me."

"The Military Statistics Bureau's Songhu district suffered severe damage, so we need you to temporarily assist our team's work." Chen Yongren also didn't waste words.

"From now on, you will directly accept my command."

"I speak bluntly; if later I do something that makes you uncomfortable, you remember to correct it yourself, don't repeat it."

"…" Lin Ke Xin remained silent, nodded, and said, "Then what do I need to do now?"

"What mission do you have?" Chen Yongren asked.

"In hibernation, waiting for activation; if it's Japanese, then it's to surveil Chen Yongren." Lin Ke Xin said.

Chen Yongren said: "Then continue to complete the task given by Fujiwara."

"Since we've placed you beside him, it's also our luck."

"Using authority, try to obtain as much valuable information from Chen Yongren as possible."

"If I have intelligence, how should I contact you then?" Lin Ke Xin asked.
