Chapter 397: Firearms Maintenance Master

Chen Yongren knew very well that when Chen Tiansong arrived in Songhu, that was the moment the old devil Tengyuan Jintai would strike at him.

Strike first to be strong; strike later and suffer.

Chen Yongren immediately returned to Building 76 and began preparing for the work before withdrawing from Songhu.

Nie Yu and Han Chen, those two dogs, have been dealt with smoothly, and Huang Qifa has been properly settled.

Now only Gu Yongshan remains.

Chen Yongren immediately drove back to Building 76, carefully tying the bomb's fuse to the car door.

As long as external force opens the car door.

The bomb will then explode with a blast, blowing the person who opens the door to pieces.

After doing all that, Chen Yongren then returned to the office.

The unexpected death of Nie Yu, director of the Action Department, once again caused an uproar inside Building 76.

Moreover, because Huang Qifa and Han Chen had not appeared for a long time, this indirectly caused the work of the Secretariat and the Confidential Section to stagnate, and coordination among departments kept running into problems.

Those dog agents were panic‑stricken, all secretly guessing what Chen Yongren and Lin Ke Xin had discussed at the meeting.

"Sir." Seeing Chen Yongren walk into the office with a dark face, Lin Ke Xin stepped forward and asked: "How should we handle the case of Han Chen's assassination and Huang Qifa's disappearance?"

"The death of that wretch has already stirred up the whole city; the matter of Huang Qifa and Han Chen must not be made public, or else people's hearts will only scatter further." Chen Yongren murmured.

"Han Chen is already dead; further investigation is pointless. Concentrate our forces and secretly search for Huang Qifa's whereabouts!"

"Understood." Lin Ke Xin immediately replied.

"Strengthen the guard at Building 76; now the enemy knows we have internal trouble, and they will surely try to keep harassing us." Chen Yongren added.

"Yes." Lin Ke Xin replied again.

"By the way, let Gu Yongshan come see me." Chen Yongren added.

The cleaning tools were about to reach the time for reimbursement, so naturally we had to squeeze out their remaining value.

Lin Ke Xin nodded slightly, turned and went to make the arrangements.

Knowing that Chen Yongren wanted to see her, Gu Yongshan hurried nonstop to the Chief Advisor's office.

Seeing Chen Yongren's fury blazing, Gu Yongshan obediently took up the role of the cleaning tool.

Chen Yongren lay on the sofa, handed his pistol to Gu Yongshan, and watched her busily at work.

"Not bad, you've indeed improved. I said before, once your skill is raw, you just need to practice more." Chen Yongren looked at Gu Yongshan with satisfaction.

Gu Yongshan rolled her eyes, feeling Chen Yongren's imposing presence coming straight at her, and mumbled: "Chief… sir… you're right."

If a gun is to be well maintained and always kept in peak condition, the choice of gun oil is certainly important.

Good gun oil ensures smooth bullet discharge.

Too much makes the viscosity too high, causing blockage when shooting; too little lacks lubrication, giving the holder a terrible feel.

And Gu Yongshan's gun‑cleaning technique has obviously reached the level of perfection.

After receiving Chen Yongren's praise, Gu Yongshan worked even harder.

Chen Yongren's attention, however, was focused on that old devil Tengyuan Jintai.

His guess was correct; that old devil Tengyuan Jintai was plotting how to do away with Chen Yongren.

Tengyuan Jintai's office.

As the time for Chen Tiansong's arrival in Songhu drew nearer, the old devil Tengyuan Jintai was also unprecedentedly excited.

"Starting now, prepare the handover work; once the target reaches Songhu, immediately send the person to the Qian'ai Li Qianye Residence." Tengyuan Jintai looked at the lieutenant before him.

"What? Qianye Residence?" the Japanese lieutenant exclaimed in surprise: "Commander Tengyuan, haven't we already assigned Building 76 to take charge of Chen Tiansong's safety?"

"I have my own arrangements for them; you may go." Commander Tengyuan lifted his hand, glanced at the time—there were still two hours until Chen Tiansong's arrival in Songhu.

"Yes." The lieutenant seemed to realize something, stood up straight and left without further questions.

The old devil Tengyuan Jintai sat in his chair and couldn't help humming a little tune.

As long as Chen Yongren is made to carry a false target, drawing the attention of the Weasel Team, Chen Tiansong's safety will surely be guaranteed.

No matter how clever the Weasel Team is, they could never imagine that we intend to strike at Chen Yongren.

If Chen Yongren dies in the firefight with the Weasel Team, that would be even better—saving trouble while also pinning all the black pots on his head.

Not only would it give the Army Ministry an explanation, it would also relieve the grudge in my own heart.

Thinking of this, the old devil couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

I am indeed a genius.

But all of this had long been seen through by Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren had long sensed that the old devil Tengyuan Jintai might give him a false target to draw fire.

Qian'ai Li?

Qianye Residence?

No matter where that guy is, as long as we know his hiding place,

Chen Yongren will have a way to take him out.

You damned little Jap still want to kill me? I, the young master, will slaughter you first today.

Gu Yongshan has been busy up to now without a moment's rest; sweat beads on her forehead, a flush rises on her cheeks, and she grows ever fonder of this work.

She was fully focused when the telephone on the desk suddenly rang.

"You didn't hear the phone ring? Get lost and answer it." Chen Yongren was very impatient.

Gu Yongshan glanced resentfully at Chen Yongren, silently rose, walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and heard the voice on the other end.

Her expression instantly turned solemn; she sat up straight and said: "Yes, I understand, please wait a moment."

"Chief Chen, it's Commander Tengyuan's call." Gu Yongshan looked toward Chen Yongren.

"Commander Tengyuan?" Chen Yongren walked to the phone and lightly tapped the table.

Gu Yongshan instantly understood, giving Chen Yongshan a look.

"Chen Sang, that defector has safely arrived at Songhu." Tengyuan Jintai said in a low voice: "Send someone to take him to the safe house immediately!"

"Once I finish my work, I'll go see him!"

"Yes, sir!" Chen Yongren straightened up excitedly, then asked: "But there are so many people at the train station, how would I know which one is the transformed one?"

"The three of them are together; two of them wear black clothes, each carrying a black suitcase, and they have white and black hats respectively."

"The one wearing a brown pinstripe suit and carrying a briefcase is the transformed person you need to protect this time."

"The contact password."

"You ask, sir, do you need a hotel?"

"They will reply, yes, but our sir is very particular about the room, wanting wool carpets imported from Persia, goose-down comforters imported from France, and faucets imported from the United States."

"You reply, we have them all, guaranteeing your satisfaction."

"Yes, sir, I understand." Chen Yongren responded.

"That old devil's act is quite convincing; he even went all out to hook himself."

"Remember, this person is important to us; the Army Ministry also values this guy greatly. As long as he spits out useful intelligence, I'll give you merit!" Tengyuan Jintai said again.

"Yes!" Chen Yongren shouted loudly, then grabbed Gu Yongshan's hair and pushed her away.
