Chapter 434: Before one knew it, the task was done

Kill the pig!

Chen Yongren didn't hold back either, holding an M1911 Colt pistol in each hand, he pulled the trigger at the Japanese spies before him.

Bang bang bang~

A burst of intense gunfire rang out.

The quick-reacting Japanese spies instinctively reached for their waists.

But they found nothing there.

Kawakami Shuji's fresh-off-the-press order, to avoid encountering National Government checks on the road, prohibited anyone from carrying pistols on the street before the operation.

Chen Yongren completely treated the group of little Japanese as targets to shoot.

The muzzles of the two pistols continuously spat fire; dense bullets instantly wove an impenetrable fire net, blowing open the heads of most of the Japanese one after another.

Blood mist continuously exploded in the air; the Japanese groaned and collapsed one after another.

It took only a few seconds from start to finish.

Except for Kawakami Shuji and Miura Yuta, all the Japanese spies in the courtyard were knocked down by Chen Yongren.

These two are big fish.

One Black Mountain Group Leader, one pigeon from the Black Mountain Team, also counts as giving the boss an explanation.

Chen Yongren was very considerate, only breaking their knees and wrists, leaving them only able to lie on the ground like turtles.

At this moment.

The two Japanese lay on the ground, completely dazed.

What's going on?

They weren't even in the middle of a meeting discussing how to assassinate National Government officials.

How come they got wiped out before the operation even started?

Before they could react, Chen Yongren trussed up these two beasts with five-fold bindings; this place isn't good for interrogation, so he simply let them sleep.

Only then did he sit on them, leisurely smoke a cigarette, waiting for the sweeper to arrive.

Chongqing after all is the new capital; not long after the gunfire sounded here, Chongqing's garrison troops came running toward the sound.

Leading them was a second lieutenant officer, who stared in shock at the corpses littering the courtyard.

Who are you!

As the second lieutenant officer finished asking that, his nearby soldiers all raised their guns and aimed at Chen Yongren.

"Special Service Corps Operations Group Leader!" Chen Yongren flicked away his cigarette butt, too lazy to explain, and said directly: "You came at just the right time."

"I, as an Army Colonel, order you to immediately carry these people away."

"Then take me to a place where I can make a call; I have important matters to report upward."

"This is my officer's certificate."

Chen Yongren casually pulled out his officer's certificate from his pocket and handed it to the second lieutenant before him.

The certificate had been processed when he returned to Chongqing.

Military Statistics Bureau?

Special Service Corps Operations Group?

Colonel officer?

This string of terms combined together was like a huge hammer, making that second lieutenant officer's head buzz.

"Don't understand?" Chen Yongren furrowed his brow.

When they arrived, Chen Yongren had already scanned them with his eye; their identity was fine.

Anyway, they're just messengers; what they're called doesn't matter to Chen Yongren.

The second lieutenant hurriedly stood, took the certificate, saw the issuer's signature, immediately stood at attention, and loudly said: "Yes, commander!"

Immediately, he turned his head to a nearby soldier and said: "You didn't hear what the commander said; hurry up and go!"

A soldier hurriedly ran off.

The second lieutenant looked around the courtyard and tentatively asked: "Commander Chen, these…"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't." Chen Yongren said coldly: "Knowing too much does you no good."

"Yes!" The second lieutenant hurriedly stood at attention.

Chen Yongren's nasty attitude didn't surprise the second lieutenant any further.

The Special Service Corps Operations Group has a notorious reputation; indeed, there A Ren't many good-tempered people in it.

Under Chen Yongren's orders, that second lieutenant officer brought Chen Yongren to a checkpoint on the road.

Chen Yongren first called the Operations Group.

The call went through.

Chen Yongren looked around.

The soldiers originally surrounding the area tactfully dispersed.

Only then did Chen Yongren speak into the phone.

"Where is Lin Ke Xin? Have her come answer the phone."

"Who am I? You damn well say who I am; I'm your group leader!"

"Have her answer the phone right away."

Chen Yongren only heard a 'clang' from the other end of the line.

Faintly someone said: "Secretary Lin, Commander Chen's phone."

Not long after, the receiver rang with a female voice.

"Secretary Lin, I've finished here; you immediately bring people to capture that bastard Xu Minggui, and temporarily prohibit any entry or exit from Chongqing Food Garden."

"Huh?" Lin Ke Xin blinked, just about to ask something else.

Chen Yongren then hung up the phone.

Anyway, the system showed that Lin Ke Xin was his subordinate; capturing Xu Minggui would earn him a reward just the same.

Lin Ke Xin also had no hesitation; she immediately had Yu Zilong lead Action Team One to apprehend Xu Minggui.

After hanging up, Chen Yongren immediately dialed the Military Statistics Bureau.

The call went through.

"Hello."

"It's me, the Action Group Leader; immediately transfer me to the boss's secretary."

"Just transfer me when I say so; waste my time and I'll skin you alive!"

After Chen Yongren's verbal barrage, the call was quickly transferred to the boss's secretary.

……

Military Statistics Bureau.

Boss's office.

He had received the news that morning.

Tonight at 8 p. m., National Government high officials will hold a banquet at Chongqing Food Garden and convene a war meeting.

The boss had long known about this; his superiors were finalizing the banquet's timing.

These matters were originally handled by the armed detachment, but who is Chen Yongren?

Within the entire army, who is closer to him than Chen Yongren?

Since the date is set, the boss also wants Chen Yongren to join the festivities and show his face.

But when they called Chen Yongren's home, no one answered; going to his house, there was nobody there.

The boss also subconsciously assumed that Chen Yongren and Lin Ke Xin had gone out to relax, so he didn't think to inquire with the Action Team.

After all.

Chen Yongren had just arrived yesterday and cracked a major case, eradicated the party's corrupt elements, earned great merit; although he wasn't officially employed yet, it wasn't wrong for him to want to have some fun these few days.

But is now the time to be playing?

The boss had already sent people to scour the streets for Chen Yongren, saying that any news related to him must be reported to him immediately.

This brat—where on earth did he take Lin Ke Xin to fool around?

As he was thinking that.

The phone on the boss's desk rang.

"Hello?" the boss said in an unfriendly tone.

"Huh?"

You fucking idiot, who did you say was calling?

But upon hearing what came next, the boss froze.

"Action Group Leader?"

"Isn't that just Chen Yongren?"

"Hurry, transfer the call in now!" the boss barked.

The call was transferred.

"Boss, it's me, Li Xing." Chen Yongren said.

Even though he was outside, Chen Yongren remained respectful.

"I've been searching everywhere for you—where the hell did you run off to…" the boss opened his mouth to curse.

Halfway through his scolding, Chen Yongren spoke up, cutting off the boss's tirade: "Reporting to boss, this morning when I and Secretary Lin went out, I picked up a suspicious wallet."

"We found a large amount of U. S. cash inside."

"Then we discovered a list bearing the names of National Government officials, with the time set for 8 p. m."

"The wallet's owner is precisely a kitchen helper at Chongqing Food Garden."

"Xu Minggui."
