Chapter 371: Give You a Vacation

"If there is important information, you can place the message under that pile of rocks." Chen Yongren pointed to the artificial hill behind him: "I will regularly send people to check."

"If there is an emergency, how should I notify you?" Lin Ke Xin asked again.

"There is a pot of longevity flower on your balcony; if there is an emergency, just put the flower on the windowsill of your own room, and when I see it, I will naturally arrange for someone to contact you." Chen Yongren said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ke Xin's heart jolted.

They actually even know such a small detail?

Isn't it that they had already sent people to observe around the villa, while I remained completely unaware?

Lately I've still been too lax…

If they are enemies, I probably wouldn't even know how I died.

"You don't know the longevity flower?" Seeing Lin Ke Xin not respond, Chen Yongren frowned.

"I know!" Lin Ke Xin immediately said.

Chen Yongren nodded slightly: "Your current task is to monitor Chen Yongren; without my action order, even if a person surnamed Wang stands before you, you cannot fire!"

"Understood." Lin Ke Xin nodded, observing this yellow weasel.

"But this person in front is one head shorter than Chen Yongren."

"The eyes also don't resemble Chen Yongren's."

"Although the speaking voice has been disguised, it is obviously that of a middle-aged person, which does not match Chen Yongren's age."

"No, this only proves that Chen Yongren is not the person in front."

"What if Chen Yongren is a member of the Yellow Weasel team?"

This little girl really can't forget about figuring out her own identity.

"Any more problems?" Chen Yongren's voice was cold.

"No more." Lin Ke Xin immediately shook her head.

Chen Yongren said no more, turned and left the park, and Lin Ke Xin quickly returned home.

After confirming Chen Yongren was still asleep, they then returned to their room, gently closed the door, walked to the window, opened the curtain a crack, and peered outside.

Outside was pitch black, with not even half a person on the street.

After looking for a long time with no clue, Lin Ke Xin could only helplessly lie in bed, recalling the details of the meeting with the Yellow Weasel.

Although there was little communication between the two sides, they at least had a simple contact, and there will be plenty of opportunities to learn the group's detailed structure in the future.

Speaking of which, this group is indeed formidable, having lurked in Songhu for many years, while the Japanese still know very little about this group.

Only after capturing Chen Shu alive was it formally confirmed that the Yellow Weasel is an operational team attached to the Songhu district, not an individual.

Compared to the Yellow Weasel, Lin Ke Xin also wants to know when their identity in Songhu will finally be activated.

Before going to Songhu, their superior said they would arrange it as soon as possible, but after being there for several days, they still haven't seen anyone contact them.

Thinking about these things, Lin Ke Xin gradually fell asleep.

Upon hearing Lin Ke Xin's thoughts, Chen Yongren also suddenly thought of something: after Zheng Qian and the two others withdrew from Songhu.

Besides Chen Dian, I have also never seen any other Red Party members.

Who will be this little girl's contact?

Unable to figure it out, Chen Yongren also couldn't be bothered to think further.

Although knowing this little girl is a Red Party member, one must pretend not to know her identity, and also not let her know that I am actually her superior in the Military Statistics Bureau.

On the surface, I must also make Lin Ke Xin believe that I am a notorious traitor hated by all, while simultaneously, according to her hidden identity, carrying out some effective protection.

Chen Yongren also feels that this identity is becoming increasingly convoluted.

In short, one sentence.

Lin Ke Xin, this little girl, must not come to harm.

Otherwise, not to mention the Military Statistics Bureau identity, just the fact of being a Red Party member will inevitably implicate me.

You say you don't know?

Who would believe that?

You live together every day; who knows whether you have been turned red?

If Lin Ke Xin were exposed but still thought I was a traitor and wanted to drag me down with her, the trouble would be great.

Fujiwara Chikata follows the principle of "better to kill by mistake than to let go"; even if he superficially believes, he will surely later find a way to deal with me.

How to preserve oneself in a complex struggle environment is also a very important skill.

The old devil Fujiwara again begins to suspect my identity, likely thinking about how to test me.

Because of this, I haven't seen Fujiwara Yuuko and Fujiwara Rina for a long time.

Pfui…

Now is not the time to think about these things.

Using the fact that the Yellow Weasel is actually a team to mislead the old devil Fujiwara will also drag me back into the vortex again.

However, controlling Chen Shu to carry out an assassination should be able to dispel some of Fujiwara Chikata's suspicions toward me.

But that's only some.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, one must expend considerable effort to clear it.

Hmm?

Speaking of which, not only them, since Takayanagi Hideyoshi died, it seems it's been a long time since I discussed life's brevity with Mitsuko.

I suppose she has become a woman with lingering charm…

And it's gone off track again…

Upon careful thought, being suspected by the old devil Fujiwara is actually not bad.

If I could temporarily intervene less in some matters, that would be even better.

On the surface I can't grasp the core content, but I can obtain this information via skills such as insight, wind‑ear, and scan‑eye.

Even if they ultimately fail their mission, Old devil Fujiwara won't suspect me, so I can naturally regain trust in myself.

But I can't bring it up myself; I must let the old devil take the initiative.

Otherwise it will surely deepen its suspicion…

Damn it.

I, your young master, am a cheat‑user, and I still can't handle you!

I, Chen Yongren, am pure and upright, honest and unyielding; you call me a resistance member—produce solid evidence.

Chen Yongren's guess was correct; Tengyuan Jintai is indeed reconsidering him.

Night.

Tengyuan Villa.

Recent multiple incidents have caused Tengyuan Jintai's mood to swing like a roller coaster.

After politely refusing Tengyuan Linai's invitation to try the new mattress, Tengyuan Jintai sat at the desk and once again reviewed all reports concerning Chen Yongren.

Not only those who want to investigate Chen Yongren, but almost all of them will die.

Even the operations in which Chen Yongren intervenes will ultimately end in failure.

Except for Chen Shu being captured.

Tengyuan Jintai earnestly recalled the details.

The post‑investigation report showed that Chen Yongren never left the office or made a phone call when Chen Shu was arrested.

After arriving at the Tengyuan Jintai Agency's prison, he only learned that Chen Shu had been caught, and even if he wanted to leak the news it was too late.

Moreover, Chen Yongren saved his own life when Chen Shu feigned surrender.

But this only rules out the suspicion that he is a Military Statistics Bureau agent.

What if he is instead a member of the Central Statistics Bureau or the Red Party?

After much consideration, Tengyuan Jintai finally decided that, before Chen Yongren's identity is clarified, he should temporarily refrain from intervening in operations.

Unit 76 suffered another enemy attack, with heavy casualties and scattered morale.

This presents a perfect opportunity to have Chen Yongren personally oversee the training, selection, and morale work of the new recruits.

What good is strong leadership if the subordinates' quality doesn't keep up?

After all, he is the chief advisor of Unit 76; he should still be given due respect—otherwise, what will outsiders think if he doesn't find a suitable excuse?
