Chapter 426: Winning the Bet

"Seize him!"

Chen Yongren was utterly impolite.

Two soldiers immediately stepped forward and restrained him.

"And you, Zheng Jia Jia."

Chen Yongren looked around, his gaze falling again on Zheng Jia Jia, secretary of the Central Statistics Bureau's Special Economic Investigation Bureau.

"We suspect you're involved in multiple economic leak cases—come with us!"

"Party and Government Investigation Bureau Secretary Zhang Chengming."

"Code Room Section Chief Wu Lilina."

Those singled out by Chen Yongren were struck dumb with terror, unable to utter a word.

Some tried to resist, but after being pistol-whipped twice by the soldiers behind them, they immediately submitted.

Even those not called out were shocked by Chen Yongren's arrogance.

The Military Statistics Bureau and the Central Statistics Bureau being at odds is normal; both sides actually know this, and not fighting in the street already counts as mutual restraint.

But no one has ever acted like Chen Yongren, storming into the meeting room with a gun and daring to name and arrest people without any explanation.

Do you think you're King Yama, letting the Black and White Impermanence seize souls?

"Nonsense!"

The middle-aged man seated at the head finally reacted, stood up, and pointed at Chen Yongren.

"Who gave you the authority!"

"Damn it, you're just a bunch of pisspots—release my people at once!"

"Disposable pisspot…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yongren strode forward, grabbed him and slammed him onto the conference table, quickly drew his pistol, and repeatedly struck his head.

Each strike drew a scream; after a few blows his head was split open and bleeding.

"I'm an Army Colonel, you bastard—what status do you have to talk to me like that?"

"Damn it, calling our Military Statistics Bureau a pisspot, publicly insulting a National Government officer—who gave you the right? Who gave you the guts?"

"The Central Statistics Bureau has several traitors inside, and you, as Deputy Section Chief of the Party and Government Investigation Bureau, are completely oblivious!"

"With such negligence at work, it's no wonder a pack of snakes, worms, rats, and ants have shown up in the Military Statistics Bureau."

"Have you forgotten Mr. Xu's will?"

"In shielding these traitors who collude with the Japanese, have you taken their bribes, which is why you're doing everything to obstruct my official duties?"

"Speak!"

After saying that, Chen Yongren shoved the gun barrel into his mouth and released the safety.

The reason he previously stuffed a gun into someone's mouth was, of course, to choose someone with enough substance.

This unlucky bastard voluntarily stepped forward, so Chen Yongren naturally wouldn't be polite.

Since the boss said to be arrogant, Chen Yongren doesn't mind giving them a few extra kicks.

After being struck a few times, his head was already ringing; with a gun shoved into his mouth, the so-called deputy section chief panicked, clutching his head and making muffled noises.

He just wanted to vent his anger; who would have thought that this guy beside him would keep piling charges on his head?

Especially when seeing Chen Yongren preparing to fire, his eyes widened.

Yu Zilong was also frightened by Chen Yongren's actions.

"The team leader wouldn't really want to shoot, would he?"

"Even the deputy section chief, being an official of the Central Statistics Bureau, killing someone without evidence would surely cause trouble."

Lin Ke Xin also watched Chen Yongren nervously.

"Ding~"

Chen Yongren pulled the trigger hard.

The bullet didn't fire—that's the sound of an empty chamber.

But the deputy section chief held down on the table by Chen Yongren heard the metallic clink nearby and his heart jumped twice.

Then his eyes rolled back, he went limp, slid to the floor, and a large wet stain could be seen faintly on his pants.

Chen Yongren kicked him twice and realized he had fainted from fright.

"Damn, worthless!" Chen Yongren coldly said: "Get lost!"

Everyone in the meeting room seemed cowed by Chen Yongren's actions, with no one daring to stop him.

After Chen Yongren left, the Central Statistics Bureau people gradually came to their senses, shouting to deal with him and sue the Military Statistics Bureau gang for being arrogant and overbearing.

Under Chen Yongren's leadership, the entire action team returned to the Military Statistics Bureau and threw all the captured people into prison.

With both human and material evidence ready, they confessed quickly; to thoroughly intimidate the wavering elements within the party, all they awaited was a single scorching bullet, to be turned into a person.

Although the capture operation was successful, and Chen Yongren timely rooted out the internal pests, the superiors' feelings could only be described as heartbroken.

This situation has occurred more than once.

He couldn't help but wonder why this was the case.

Especially with the Central Statistics Bureau again producing so many moles, could it be because they're not up to the task?

All day they claim the Military Statistics Bureau is all-powerful, arrogant due to favor, overbearing, and wish to associate every negative term with it.

"Now..."

On the contrary, they've just captured a bunch of moles from them.

The Central Statistics Bureau's interior remains completely in the dark, yet they still have the nerve to file complaints.

Currently, the happiest person is the boss.

Uprooting the High Mountain Team members, Chen Yongren's contribution was indispensable.

On his first day in Chongqing, he produced such impressive results, enough to win everyone over!

After returning to the Military Statistics Bureau, Chen Yongren immediately reported his capture method to the boss.

I've done it, also causing the Central Statistics Bureau to lose face completely.

In case they want to cause trouble, you'll have to take the heat for me up front.

After hearing Chen Yongren finish reporting his capture method, the boss was instantly stunned.

Damn it!

How dare this kid be even more arrogant than me? Where did he get the guts to stuff something into a deputy section chief's mouth, and even scare him into pissing his pants?

"Good, good, good!" the boss exclaimed three times, just about to continue saying something.

The phone on the desk rang.

The boss immediately picked up the phone, his face full of excitement, then promptly hung up.

"Don't worry, it's fine." The boss couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "That bunch of bastards actually had the nerve to file a complaint, got a good scolding, and were completely subdued!"

Nothing is happier than seeing one's bitter rival suffer misfortune.

If there is, it's that the bitter rival is even more unfortunate.

"Yongren, you handled this matter splendidly!" the boss said with a smile: "Not only did it boost the face of our Military Statistics Bureau, it also made the Central Statistics Bureau lose all face!"

This time, even if they're angry, they can't do anything about it.

How dare they call us a piss pot? They're courting death!

"Boss, our bet?" Chen Yongren promptly produced the military order, smiling happily: "We just signed it, you won't have forgotten already, will you?"

"The military order says half a month, but I finished the task the same day; you won't want to go back on it, will you?"

Seeing this, the boss's mouth twitched twice.

Almost forgot about this.

Originally intended to use this matter to let Chen Yongren suffer a small loss.

Never expected, never expected, Chen Yongren managed to pull it off again.

"You brat, you've been waiting for me here?" the boss pointed at Chen Yongren and scolded.

Chen Yongren smiled, didn't say more, but his eyes glanced at the boss's wrist.

"Forget it, a bet's a bet!" the boss got up, walked over to Chen Yongren, took off his watch, placed it in Chen Yongren's hand, and said meaningfully.

"This watch has commemorative significance for me; you must keep it well."

"Thank you, boss!" Since the boss generously gave a gift, Chen Yongren didn't decline, and directly put it on his wrist.
