Chapter 442: Ill-omened Visitors

"Huh?"

"Not right either, the little devils are already fighting with the Americans, and it's not a big deal."

"It's really strange, who has the ability to steal things right under the little devils' noses, and where can they hide this gold?"

"That's right, this is the biggest problem!" the boss said sternly.

"I've also thought about stealing that gold, but even if I had the ability to rob it, in a short time it's basically impossible to move..."

"Moving the gold is indeed a hassle." Chen Yongren thought for a moment and then said: "What if someone inside and outside cooperated?"

"They teamed up to steal this batch of gold?"

"The purpose is to cause a financial crisis for little Japan at this time!"

"Without this gold transfusion, the little devils will only have a harder time ahead."

"Lixing, our ideas really coincide!" the boss said with a serious expression: "No matter who it is, this strength, we absolutely cannot underestimate."

"Indeed."

"Judging from a normal person's perspective, this is one of the normal procedures."

"The boss would never have imagined that this junior student before him is the mysterious person who turned Songhu upside down and robbed the Japanese bank."

"Chen Yongren echoed: 'Senior, Lixing requests orders, go to Songhu to investigate this matter; give me three days, I will definitely get to the bottom of this!'"

"Of course, that's just him talking casually."

"Chen Yongren finally managed to distance himself from the vortex of Songhu; now, not to mention the boss, even his superiors would never agree, lest he be dragged back into danger."

"Lixing, don't mess around, this matter will be handled by the Songhu area people." The boss immediately said: "If you fake your death to escape and then reappear in Songhu, if it raises anyone's suspicion, you'll be in danger!"

"Senior, I, the junior, am not afraid of danger; if I were afraid, I wouldn't have gone to Songhu in the first place." Chen Yongren insisted for a moment.

"No, you just stay put in Chongqing honestly, you're not allowed to go anywhere!" The boss said directly.

"After a pause, the boss also felt his words were a bit heavy, and added: 'I'll also send you the relevant information about Songhu; then you can join me in analyzing it.'"

"This is also a good opportunity to train Chen Yongren and bring the two closer."

"Thanks, senior." Chen Yongren gave a hehe laugh.

"As for whether Chen Yongren has any problems?"

"Just based on Chen Yongren's background and performance, the boss finds it hard to suspect him."

"Songhu mysteriously has a spy organization appearing, that's…" Chen Yongren didn't finish his sentence.

"He was just interrupted by a sudden ringing of the phone."

"The boss casually picked up the phone, his expression instantly turned solemn, and he respectfully said: 'Yes, I know!'"

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible, you can rest assured."

"Yes, I will absolutely not let you lose face!"

"After saying that, the boss hung up the phone."

"Through the wind-listening ear, Chen Yongren also knew that it was those few American envoys who had arrived."

"Perfect!"

"I, the young master, want to see what you intend to do; since you've come, if I can screw you over, I'll screw you over big time—trying to get an easy win is absolutely impossible!"

"Lixing, that group of American envoys has arrived this afternoon; we need to make preparations as soon as possible!" the boss said in a muffled voice: "You don't need to worry about the honor guard; you just need to handle reception and protection!"

"So rushed?" Chen Yongren feigned curiosity.

"These Americans are just like that; whoever lets them have big fists naturally does things as they please." The boss obviously understood their tactics and explained.

"When we first discussed the business loan issue, they were like that."

"So we must do our best as hosts, so they can't find any fault."

"No delay, Lixing, you go prepare right away!"

"They plan to land at White Market Station Airport."

"After picking them up, send them to North Mountain Manor; the superiors decided to receive them there."

"Chen Yongren, after all, holds the rank of lieutenant general in the Military Statistics Bureau; receiving envoys is more than enough for him."

"Yes!" Chen Yongren no longer declined.

"What the wind-listening ear picked up made Chen Yongren sense something was off."

"After the Japanese devils' sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, relations between the two countries will completely deteriorate, and all trade will cease."

"But if they want to talk business, there's no reason for a sudden attack."

"They didn't even provide relevant information about the personnel list; is this really a renegotiation of cooperation?"

"Chen Yongren faintly felt that these so-called envoys might not have come to support the war effort."

"This move… is more like coming to demand an explanation with force."

"Leaving the boss's office, Chen Yongren had Lin Ke Xin mobilize the action team and had already drawn up a security plan."

"At 3 p. m., Chen Yongren met those few envoys at White Market Station Airport."

"This is a four-person team."

"The leader is a female lieutenant colonel."

"She looks very much like Scarlett Johansson, especially with that head of blond hair and a military cap on her head."

"Dressed in a full American military uniform, it perfectly shows off her figure."

"The other three also wear officer uniforms."

"It seems those three are all modeled after the real Black Widow."

"Chen Yongren casually turned on the scanning eye."

"The three officers, Chen Yongren ignored them directly, his gaze went straight to the female lieutenant colonel."

"Name: Grace Kelly."

Gender: Female.

Age: 27.

Rank: Lieutenant Colonel.

Nationality: United States·Los Angeles.

Current position: Leader of the Special Investigation Team.

Recent situation: The United States, in another way, covertly supported the National Government's war of resistance, but discovered that the National Government's fund flow had problems, with large sums of money not being used for weapons and equipment.

Furthermore, the destination of many supplies cannot be clarified at all.

The United States, in order to thoroughly investigate this matter and judge whether the National Government is worth supporting, specially sent Geleisi to lead her team members here to investigate the fund flow.

Below normally appears a string of Geleisi's résumé.

The résumé is not unusual; rather, it is the background of this Geleisi and her team members.

No wonder someone came to act first and report later; it's simply to not give the National Government a chance to respond!

Fund flow?

Chen Yongren actually knows that the United States used tung oil as an excuse to provide large funds to the National Government, and the Japanese even protested because of it, but in the end they were spat back at them.

The Japanese could only hold their noses and accept this matter, pretending not to know, enduring until now, and fiercely bit back at the Americans.

Of course.

This is merely the harshness as seen by the Japanese…

Seeing Chen Yongren's rank of major general, Geleisi was somewhat surprised.

What a young major general!

Geleisi couldn't help but glance at Chen Yongren a few more times, her eyes carrying a hint of curiosity.

【Indeed。】.

Within the National Government, not only is the fund flow problematic, but the internal ranks are also in utter chaos.

Could he possibly be thirty? Yet he actually bears a general's rank.

Another case of nepotism; it seems this time we must strictly investigate their financial issues.

We should let those inside who want to support see clearly whom they are supporting.

The remaining three officers have been frowning since disembarking the plane, impatiently surveying the surroundings.

Where on earth has our money gone?

An airport actually so shabby?

This doesn't look like an airport at all; the superiors sending us to investigate is indeed the right thing.

Such a young major general—are these National Government officials crazy?
