Chapter 52: The Destroyed File

Yes, boss. Shen Mingchen had no surprise at this order.

Lin Dayou is rash; leading a charge into battle is still fine.

Let him uncover the hidden Japanese spies?

Or perhaps step back a bit first.

Only Chen Yongren.

He not only successfully killed the traitor but also slew Sakai Mieko, and finally, under heavy enemy encirclement, brought his teammates out safely.

This is enough to prove he is calm under pressure, decisive in killing, and there is no one more suitable than him.

Since Boss Dai is willing to let Chen Yongren command the operation, it shows he has restored his trust in him.

Shen Mingchen was also pleased to see this happen.

In short, the better Chen Yongren performed, the happier Shen Mingchen became.

Cut the nonsense, arrange it quickly; support must reach Shanghai by tomorrow night at the latest. Boss Dai looked at Shen Mingchen and said sternly.

I'll take care of it right away! Shen Mingchen straightened up and hurried out.

In the spacious office, only Boss Dai remained.

Not long after,

He saw his lips gradually curl up, then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Satisfying!

Because of the Lü Yan incident, Boss Dai has been having a rough time lately.

Now the Military Intelligence Bureau has avenged its great enemy and also wiped out an entire spy team.

From now on, who would dare say the Military Intelligence Bureau is lacking in any way?

Boss Dai again took a glass, poured a glass of brandy, and savored it slowly.

Chen Yongren.

Boss Dai's eyes flashed with a cold light as he muttered, "This guy is really interesting."

Even his most veteran agent would probably find it hard to match Chen Yongren's excellence.

Especially that sentence of Chen Yongren's.

"Anyway, the dead are all Japanese; dying just means they had bad luck."

Young as he is, he is decisive in killing; he truly is a natural-born talent for being an agent.

Boss Dai opened the drawer and took out Chen Yongren's file pressed at the bottom.

Although he already knew where Chen Yongren was from, seeing the native place entry still made him unable to hold back laughter.

It's been a long time since he encountered a young person with such a good résumé and such strong ability.

During the Gold Mound spy case, the old man had also heard of him.

But it was only knowing that the Military Intelligence Bureau had such a promising young person.

After all.

Originally, that Fourth-Class Yunhui Medal of Chen Yongren's was issued by the old man.

Thinking of this,

Boss Dai rubbed his chin.

Chen Yongren caused such a stir in Shanghai; it's time to apply for a second medal for him.

Hmm…

Also, his military rank should be raised.

Boss Dai quickly wrote a war intelligence report, called for the secretary, and had her send the document to the attendant's room.

Then he fixed his gaze on Chen Yongren's file.

Boss Dai first drank from a cup, then simply took the bottle and drank straight from it, thinking while drinking about how to arrange Chen Yongren after killing the pangolin.

Such outstanding talent should be placed in the position he deserves.

After thinking a while, Boss Dai suddenly had an idea, picked up Chen Yongren's file and threw it into the metal trash can beside the desk.

He also poured the remaining half-bottle of brandy into it.

Finally, after lighting a match, he lightly tossed it in.

Whoosh~

The flames instantly rose.

Chen Yongren's one-of-a-kind file, from childhood to adulthood, gradually burned to ashes.

The leaping flames reflected on Boss Dai's face.

Boss Dai then poured a kettle of water into the trash can, stirring the ashes into a paste before stopping.

From this moment on.

The Military Intelligence Bureau's agent, Chen Yongren, will completely disappear from the world.

Only a Chen Yongren who can freely write his own identity!

……

Liu Family Villa.

Now, Liu Ying also knows exactly what happened in Hongkou.

Moreover, she has an eyewitness beside her.

"Spit it out, girl; why did you privately intercept our agents going to Rainbow Mouth? Such a big matter, why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Ying lightly crossed her arms, looking at Liu Shuyun kneeling before her.

She wore a yellow cheongsam, the form-fitting cheongsam accentuating her curves, because she was sitting with her legs crossed on the chair, the side of the skirt hanging down at her thigh.

"Auntie…" Liu Shuyun tried to act coquettish.

"Useless!" Liu Ying furrowed her brows, extended a finger, and kept poking Liu Shuyun's head.

"What auntie?"

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"

Bringing our Party Affairs Department's special agents to the Japanese's turf to show off, attacking Japanese spies and setting fire to the Red Mouth commercial street—what a big show you're putting on!

You don't care about your life!

"That fire wasn't set by me, it was Chen Yongren…" Liu Shuyun tried to explain: "Besides, we also killed quite a few Japanese spies, and the whole Red Mouth was thrown into chaos!"

"Most of the area has been set on fire—this is more satisfying than catching internal suspects!"

"Besides, we caught the Japanese off guard, and our comrades suffered no casualties."

"What kind of love potion did Chen Yongren give you?" Liu Ying raised her voice a few notches: "It makes you not hesitate to expose your identity just to help him."

"Auntie!" Liu Shuyun took a deep breath, helplessly said: "It's not that I want to help him; we've already been exposed."

"What exposed?" Liu Ying frowned.

Liu Shuyun sighed, spread her hands innocently, and said: "From the moment I got on the train to contact him, he already knew I was from the Party Affairs Department."

"What did you say?" Liu Ying was completely stunned.

Every word Liu Shuyun said, she could understand, but when put together she found it somewhat confusing.

"He deliberately contacted us to buy time to clear his own suspicions…" Liu Shuyun repeated Chen Yongren's words to Liu Ying again.

Hearing Liu Shuyun say that, Liu Ying gritted her teeth, her two towering peaks trembling: "This brat, where does he get all these devious tricks!"

She had thought Chen Yongren was a novice, but from start to finish, only she was the monkey being played.

…

Songhu Garrison Command.

Although the surface seemed calm and pleasant, Sino-Japanese relations were already at the point of drawing swords and nocking arrows, war imminent.

General Zhang secretly came to Shanghai to prepare for war.

Along with him secretly entering Shanghai were the 87th Division, 88th Division, and the Central Training Corps—three elite forces, together over fifty thousand troops.

General Zhang earnestly looked at the map before him, planning to first launch an attack from the Japanese Navy Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, the Red Mouth base, and first drive these damned bastards into the sea before anything else.

At that moment.

A major rushed in, snapped to attention, panting, and said: "Commander, just received news—something big has happened in Red Mouth!"

General Zhang didn't even look up, scoffing: "What could happen in Red Mouth? Could it be that the little Japanese have surrendered, waiting for us to take over?"

"The head of the Shanghai Special Higher Police of the Japanese spies, Sakai Miho, and the traitor Lu Yan from the Military Intelligence Bureau, were assassinated by Military Intelligence Bureau agents at the Maeda Sake House!" the major exclaimed excitedly.

"Red Mouth's most prosperous commercial street is almost completely burned down, many Japanese spies have been blown to death inside, and the Japanese military police have imposed martial law in Red Mouth, forbidding anyone from passing!"

"What did you say?"

General Zhang jerked his head up; upon first hearing the news, he thought he had misheard.
