Chapter 480: The darkness under the lamp is the real darkness

"Envious?" Chen Yongren curled his lips.

Because this cheap older brother's body had a problem, they never had offspring.

Yuan Tian Tonggui, such a traditional empty-headed young wife, naturally wanted to bear a descendant for her family to avoid gossip.

"Exactly, I'm jealous." Lin Ke Xin affirmed: "Just like yesterday, when we learned we planned to have a child, both of their expressions were a bit unnatural."

"You say, could it be that for some reason they're unable to have children?"

"That's because I didn't let her swallow essence." Chen Yongren retorted sharply.

"Yuan Tian Tonggui needs a child; what does that have to do with you making money?" Lin Ke Xin didn't understand the meaning, then said: "Never mind me, how's your side?"

"Any special discoveries?"

"Not good, I ran into that traitor Pei San." Chen Yongren said.

"Pei San?" Lin Ke Xin was dumbfounded.

"This guy has already defected to the Japanese, serving as a special consultant in the Jinmen Public Order Maintenance Association." Chen Yongren briefly explained Pei San's entrapment plan.

Lin Ke Xin worried: "Gathering the scattered members outside is an essential procedure for us."

"This guy is really wicked, and he's got a lot of gall."

"He actually thought of using himself as bait?"

"One careless move and we'll lose everything."

"This time we must not repeat the previous tragedy."

"We must find a way to identify the surviving members."

"This is so simple—just open the Heaven-Eye skill, take a look, scan with the eye scan and you'll know."

"But this definitely can't be told to Lin Ke Xin."

"No need to worry, I have my own way to handle this." Chen Yongren said from the passage.

"Do you have a way?" Lin Ke Xin wondered.

"Of course." Chen Yongren casually babbled: "This afternoon, while processing documents inside the agency, I saw those personnel lists."

"This is just to fool Lin Ke Xin; as long as Chen Yongren can see those guys, he'll naturally know who the traitor is."

"Personnel list?" Lin Ke Xin was dumbfounded again.

"Of course, you forgot my identity?" Chen Yongren couldn't help pinching Lin Ke Xin's cheek, saying: "I'm now the assistant to the Agency Director; many confidential documents—I wouldn't even want to look at them."

"That old devil, in order to let me grow quickly, will also have me help process some documents, telling me where the problems are and how to respond."

"Moreover, that old devil, to add color to my resume, is preparing to give me all the credit for this operation."

After hearing that, Lin Ke Xin fell silent, looking at Chen Yongren, not knowing how to evaluate.

"The little devils haven't even started acting, yet we already got their operation plan."

"Since being with Chen Yongren, obtaining intelligence has become extraordinarily smooth."

"Lin Ke Xin wanted to speak but held back, realizing saying anything was useless; it'd be better to honestly follow Chen Yongren's plan, so as not to drag him down."

"Although I know I'm awesome, don't look at me like that, or I'll think you're going to fall for me." Chen Yongren teased Lin Ke Xin on purpose.

"You're going to die." Lin Ke Xin blushed a little.

"Chen Yongren, unusually, didn't continue teasing her, but seriously said: 'Lurking beside the enemy, we can't waste the opportunity.'"

"Since Pei San wants to use himself to set a trap for us, we'll satisfy his wish."

"'Using their own scheme against them, we'll catch them all in one go, then pin all the black pots on their heads!'"

"I..." Lin Ke Xin was about to speak, but Chen Yongren directly interrupted: "These things you don't need to worry about for now; I'll oversee the whole matter."

"But..." Lin Ke Xin said again.

"You still don't know my abilities?" Chen Yongren said directly.

"......" Lin Ke Xin remained silent.

"To be frank, Chen Yongren's ability to stir up trouble is indeed unquestionable."

"This guy sometimes simply isn't human."

"At least, Lin Ke Xin so far cannot tell Chen Yongren's true identity, nor can she fathom his nature."

"Silence means agreement." Chen Yongren gave Lin Ke Xin no chance to refuse: "Just continue building your friendship with Yuan Tian Tonggui."

"I'll continue tracking Pei San on my end."

"This is what we call clear division of labor: men and women working together makes the job not tiring."

"Two-pronged approach, neither interfering with the other."

"As for our members, I've already thought of a way, reasonably arranging their identities, and I'm not afraid of being investigated."

Saying this, Chen Yongren laughed happily.

"What method?" Lin Ke Xin asked curiously.

"She really wanted to know what idea Chen Yongren could have that would keep his members from being discovered by Japanese agents."

"You'll find out then." Chen Yongren said bluntly.

"What I'm playing now is just 'darkness under the lamp'."

"Pretending to be Japanese, lurking inside the enemy."

"So far, it's very exciting, but the effect is also very good."

"Rushing to show you confidential documents, Chen Yongren is still experiencing this for the first time."

"To hide oneself better, there's no better trick than 'darkness under the lamp'."

"For example…"

"One can open a company, then scatter the members among factories."

"Normally, when they're not needed, they're just ordinary workers; when action is required, they can be conscripted."

Initially, after killing Gu Yongshan, the beverage formula obtained was never used.

Besides, I have money, so I can completely, using a Japanese identity, set up a Japanese-funded beverage factory.

Then establish various retail points to serve as contact stations.

This way, whether transmitting information or smuggling supplies, things will become much simpler.

Has a military background and also a noble identity.

Who the hell ate something weird and dares to investigate this factory?

Naturally, this surprise, Chen Yongren plans to get it done before telling Lin Ke Xin, at which point he can also let her take full charge of the factory's operations.

Hmm…

I just don't know if later everyone will turn out to be insiders, each a covert agent.

"Mysterious, if you don't tell me, I don't even want to hear it." Lin Ke Xin gave a soft hum.

She had long grown accustomed to Chen Yongren's remarks.

But Lin Ke Xin only said that with her mouth; she was truly curious what tricks Chen Yongren could pull.

"Action planning takes time, so starting tomorrow I'll join the freight company." Chen Yongren added.

"Ah?"

Lin Ke Xin hadn't expected Chen Yongren to change the topic so quickly.

Chen Yongren added: "This freight company is a huge piece of fat meat; we must find a way to swallow it, so we'll never lack money again."

Hearing this, Lin Ke Xin's eyes lit up.

Not only would we not lack money, but with the cover of a Riben freight company we could also legally sell supplies, with completely proper procedures, without fear of being investigated.

Lin Ke Xin was quite excited inside.

"Looks like you've also noticed the company's benefits." Chen Yongren said: "Since no one objects, starting tomorrow we'll figure out how to swallow this company!"

Of course.

That's tomorrow's matter.

Tonight, Chen Yongren still has to go out to vet these team members' identities.
