Chapter 481: Detecting the Traitor

~7 min read 1,301 words

Night.

At the dinner table.

The servants have already prepared an exquisite dinner.

Chen Yongren sat at the head seat.

Lin Ke Xin sat to his left.

Servants attended nearby; they didn't need to lift a finger—a glance and the nearby servant would immediately place the dish before them.

The feeling of being waited on hand and foot by those little Japanese.

It really is…

Not bad.

Lin Ke Xin had spent the day shopping, eating with great focus; though she usually cared about her appearance, she didn't notice at all that some food residue had stuck to the corner of her mouth.

"Be good, don't move." Chen Yongren looked at Lin Ke Xin.

"Huh?" Lin Ke Xin wore a puzzled look on her pretty face.

"As my wife, you can't have such an impolite display." Chen Yongren spoke gently, picked up a handkerchief, and lightly wiped the residue from the corner of Lin Ke Xin's mouth.

"Arigatou~" Lin Ke Xin was a little dazed, two blushes blooming on her pretty face.

No.

Lin Ke Xin instinctively suspected that Chen Yongren wanted to drug her again, planning to sneak off and do something nefarious at night.

"You've noticed all this; if I don't let you nap a bit, that would be a shame."

"You're my fiancée—what's there to thank me for?" Chen Yongren smiled, looked at the servants, and said in a low voice: "Make more of this dish tomorrow."

"From now on, when I'm not around, everything in the household will be overseen by Miss Meisha."

"Hai!" the nearby servants replied in unison.

"Meisha, you are the mistress of the house." Chen Yongren then looked at Lin Ke Xin: "What's mine is yours—please don't stand on ceremony."

"Zongsi Jiang~" Lin Ke Xin was overwhelmed with emotion.

The servants, seeing the couple's affection, were full of envy.

After their affection, it was time to let Lin Ke Xin get a good rest.

Chen Yongren didn't stand on ceremony; he activated his skill.

The skill took effect quickly, and Lin Ke Xin kept yawning.

This feeling.

Here it comes again…

Lin Ke Xin glanced at Chen Yongren.

That handkerchief!

I knew he wasn't that kind—he'd wipe my mouth.

This guy must have something planned tonight, which is why he wants to drug me.

"Meisha, tired? I'll take you back to rest right now." Chen Yongren kindly helped Lin Ke Xin up.

In front of many people, he couldn't directly expose the matter; Lin Ke Xin followed Chen Yongren back to the bedroom.

Although her head felt heavy and hazy,

but Lin Ke Xin couldn't help wondering where Chen Yongren had gotten the hypnotic drug.

Colorless and odorless.

It acts faster than sleeping pills.

A slight touch to the lips can put someone to sleep, letting them slumber until morning—with not even a hint of side effects…

Chen Yongren said no more, helped Lin Ke Xin into the room, locked the door, and, as an afterthought, used his Ghost Phone Skill to duplicate the room's telephone, to avoid any mishap.

"What exactly are you planning to do?" Lin Ke Xin asked, fighting drowsiness in a low voice.

"I've said before—outside is dangerous; as long as I'm here, you're safe." Chen Yongren gently brushed her nose bridge, speaking softly: "Once I've settled everything, I'll naturally assign you a task."

"Good girl~"

Chen Yongren gently patted her head.

"Now just get a good night's sleep…"

"You…" Lin Ke Xin clutched Chen Yongren's clothes with both hands, but in the end she still couldn't speak, her head lolled, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Thoughtfully covering Lin Ke Xin with a blanket, Chen Yongren disguised himself, took out an Any Door, left the villa, and came to the vicinity of the emergency contact point.

Yesterday, Chen Yongren, via the emergency contact signal, issued the order to rally the surviving agents.

Now is the perfect opportunity to ascertain their identities.

The emergency rendezvous point is an abandoned temple in the suburbs of Jinmen.

Because it's been abandoned due to lack of upkeep, its location is remote; not even at night, let alone in broad daylight, would anyone linger there.

Chen Yongren worried the Japanese might play dirty and set an ambush midway, so he kept his Heavenly Eye open all the way, only relaxing once he confirmed there were no ambushes around.

It seems the Japanese also know the principle of casting a long line to catch a big fish.

He feared that a rash arrest would startle the snake.

Listening to the chaotic thoughts within the abandoned temple, Chen Yongren pushed open the gate and entered.

"Who goes there!"

A muffled voice sounded.

Swish swish swish~

In an instant, the agents who had been crouching sprang to their feet, drew their waist pistols, and vigilantly aimed at the courtyard gate.

"Don't be tense, it's our own." Chen Yongren spoke up in time, smiling: "It's the emergency contact signal I left for you all."

But they still did not relax their vigilance, glaring at Chen Yongren with tiger-like intensity.

Chen Yongren looked around.

There are really a lot of people.

About 20 people.

Although it cannot compare to the previous Jinmen Station, it is still not easy to gather these people after suffering heavy losses.

"Is it just you guys?" Chen Yongren asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and one person nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should just be us; that bastard Pei San has defected!"

"We estimate that only we brothers are left!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining surviving agents showed hatred, wishing to tear him apart alive.

"The matter of Jinmen has already been known to the new station chief." Chen Yongren comforted their emotions.

"Since you saw the signal and came to assemble, it shows you're still doing well!"

"The station chief originally didn't hold much hope, but now seeing this, he will certainly feel relieved."

"That traitor Pei San betrayed the country, abandoned his faith, and actually became a major traitor."

"We will certainly not let this matter go."

"We will definitely cut off that dog's head to avenge you!"

While soothing their emotions, Chen Yongren also used his scanning eye to identify these guys' identities.

After a round of identification, there really are a lot of them.

There are a full five traitors, almost a quarter.

They were all captured alive, and under Pei San's threats and inducements, they were willing to lurk back in the Military Statistics Bureau, awaiting further orders.

It is worth noting that these traitors do not know of each other's existence.

This actually saves a lot of trouble.

Since we know who the traitors are, Chen Yongren also can't be bothered to let them see tomorrow's sun.

Purify, purify Jinmen's air, and only then will it get better tomorrow.

"That's right, we want revenge!"

"One agent jumped out, raised his arms and shouted, 'That scoundrel Pei San has caused our brothers such misery; we cannot just let this go!'"

This guy's identity is none other than one of the five traitors, Yang Yuxiang.

As soon as it jumped out,

Chen Yongren then knew what this guy wanted to do.

Nothing more than wanting to fan the flames at the opportunity, stir up the survivors' anger, so they would jump into the trap.

Sure enough.

"That's right, revenge; my good brother died before my eyes, we cannot just let this go."

"If it weren't for my team captain saving me, I would have died long ago; I must take revenge!"

"Brothers, when are we going to act!"

"Yeah, I can't wait any longer."

…

The agents were excited, shouting loudly; the remaining four traitors also jumped out one after another, shouting to ambush Pei San and avenge the fallen brothers.
