Chapter 557

Zhongtian Wan Yi woke up as if from a dream, hastily scrambled up from the floor.

"There's more!" Chi Mu Chengping shouted sternly, "Block off the roads near the train station, inspect all incoming and outgoing vehicles, and forbid anyone from entering or leaving!"

"Hai!" Zhongtian Wan Yi accepted the order with trepidation, then scrambled out of the carriage.

Looking at the utterly empty carriage before him, Chi Mu Chengping's breathing grew heavy; he tried to force himself to calm down, but couldn't manage it.

It just couldn't figure it out.

How could this batch of weapons disappear right under its nose?

But the most urgent task now is to find this batch of lost equipment.

Tanaka Wanichi guarded the train station, while Chi Mu Chengping returned to the Special Agency, ready to answer any call that might come from Beiping at any time.

……

And the instigator of all this, Chen Yongren, was leisurely lying in bed, looking at the reward he had just received.

Just like the assassination at the banquet last time, the dog system gave face and gave the reward for completing the task.

This time, the dog system gave no skill, but directly gave 600 bottles of detoxifying potion.

【Detoxifying Potion】: No matter how complex the virus the target is infected with, one bottle will generate antibodies in the body, with no need to worry about sequelae.

Taking it in advance is also effective.

600 bottles of detoxifying medicine, after taking down the Japanese bacteria factory, are just enough to give to the civilians experimented on by the Japanese, so they can be free from the torment of the virus.

Immune to all poisons, the detoxifying potion is practically prepared for the upcoming operation.

Some households rejoice, others worry; Chen Yongren here is beaming with spring breeze, but Chi Mu Chengping still feels as constipated as ever.

Several hours passed.

They were about to turn the train station upside down.

Even the train station's sewer system, Chi Mu Chengping sent people down to search, but the investigation still yielded no results.

Chi Mu Chengping, who found nothing, only felt his scalp go numb.

When the time comes and Beiping asks, how should I explain myself?

I can't just say these pieces of equipment were stolen right in front of me, can I?

If I were to report it truthfully, this outrageous report would surely get me scolded to death by the commander-in-chief; the best outcome for me would be to be dismissed and investigated.

After repeated consideration, Chi Mu Chengping felt he could no longer remain passive.

This black pot must not be placed on my head.

After some thought, Chi Mu Chengping's face showed a fierce expression, and he immediately decided to set off explosives.

Directly blow up the transport train, and settle everything once and for all.

This way, no one will know the weapons were lost, and we can blame it on leaked information.

As for who leaked it, that's hard to say.

Besides that, we must find someone to take the black pot and bear all responsibility for this matter.

Tanaka Wanichi.

Chi Mu Chengping quickly thought of him.

After all, Tanaka Wanichi had said he would bear all responsibility for the mission's failure.

This guy is the chief of the Tokko, exactly the right person to take the black pot.

Thinking of this, Chi Mu Chengping hesitated not, directly called the train station and ordered Tanaka Wanichi to come see him.

Upon receiving the call, Tanaka Wanichi did not dare delay, hung up the phone and hurried into the office, standing at attention with a bowed head, his voice flustered: "Major His Excellency, please give me a little more time, believe me..."

Chi Mu Chengping, however, waved his hand and said: "Tanaka-kun, it's too late, there's no time left..."

"Major His Excellency..." Tanaka Wanichi still wanted to explain.

Chi Mu Chengping said: "Tanaka-kun, do you still remember what you said?"

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Wanichi's expression froze, then turned ugly.

Not long ago, I myself made bold declarations, saying this transport mission would surely succeed, otherwise I would commit suicide to apologize.

Tanaka Wanichi regretted deeply, wishing he could slap himself a few times, why did he have to say such a cheeky thing back then?

He could feel that Chi Mu Chengping wanted to kick him out and make him bear all responsibility for the loss of the biochemical weapons.

Seeing Tanaka Wanichi silent, Chi Mu Chengping said: "Tanaka-kun, speak."

"Hai!" Tanaka Wanichi stood at attention, gritted his teeth and said: "I remember..."

"Then, now is the time for you to keep your promise." Chi Mu Chengping said directly.

Tanaka Wanichi's body trembled slightly.

"To make things more believable, the special train needs to explode after leaving the station." Chi Mu Chengping said with a blank expression: "Then I will report to my superiors that the Military Statistics Bureau agents attacked the special train, seized all the equipment, and destroyed the train."

"Such a report would be better than directly saying we lost the equipment, and also more credible."

"What do you think?"

Tanaka Wanichi clenched his teeth and dared not speak.

"You see, I knew you had no opinion." Chi Mu Chengping squeezed out a faint smile, his tone flat, as if saying something unrelated to himself.

"Then you will, on the grounds of failing to guard the locust army's equipment, willingly bear all consequences and commit suicide to apologize."

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Wanichi's face turned pale.

"Rest assured, after you die, I will send people to take good care of your wife and children." Chi Mu Chengping continued: "As long as I am alive, I will always keep my promise."

"Tanaka, you are my old subordinate; you should know I am a man who does what he says."

"Besides me, the entire Jinmen Special Agency will remember your kindness."

"When your children grow up, this will all be your connections."

"This is a connection that others could seek for a hundred years and still not obtain."

"Hai! Major His Excellency, I understand." Tián Zhōng Wàn Yī's face flashed with determination.

It was quite clear; this was not a matter for discussion, but a notice.

If one is unwilling to cooperate, Chi Mu Chengping has plenty of ways to make one agree; by then, one's family far away in Riben will also be implicated. It's better to give oneself a dignified way out.

"Go, Tián Zhōng Wàn Yī-kun, dawn is breaking, go down and prepare right away." Chi Mu Chengping nodded satisfactorily, waving his hand like shooing away a fly.

"Hai!" Tián Zhōng Wàn Yī straightened, bowed deeply, and walked out of the room.

Chi Mu Chengping sat expressionlessly in the chair, patiently waiting.

Outside the window, a train could faintly be seen departing the station.

This is surely the train prepared by Tián Zhōng Wàn Yī-kun; now we just need to patiently wait for it to be 'seized'.

Time passed minute by minute.

Outside the window, the morning glow gradually appeared.

Suddenly.

The telephone on the desk rang loudly.

Chi Mu Chengping raised his hand to glance at his watch; according to General His Excellency's sleep schedule, he should still have fifteen minutes before waking.

But the telephone on the desk continued to ring tirelessly.

Chi Mu Chengping took a deep breath and, without thinking, picked up the phone.

Upon hearing the voice on the other end, Chi Mu Chengping's expression instantly became respectful: "General His Excellency!"

At the same time, he silently thought, "What bad luck."

General His Excellency actually woke up fifteen minutes earlier than usual.

It seems he is very concerned about the transportation status of this batch of equipment.

Chi Mu Chengping's face flashed with anxiety; he couldn't help but look toward the distant railway outside the window.

"Chi Mu-kun…"

The words on the other end of the phone had not yet finished.

The office door was flung open.

A lieutenant burst in, accompanied by a terrified shout.

"Major His Excellency, something terrible has happened!"
