Chapter 565: Identity in Question

Lao Feng still thought his eyes were playing tricks, and sneakily glanced at the note again.

The content hadn't changed at all.

He was just wondering what to do with those civilians when this intel actually showed up?

Lao Feng couldn't help but look around, wanting to know who had given the note.

Could it be the personnel who participated in the operation yesterday?

After all.

Besides them, no one else knew the whereabouts of those civilians.

But why would this person find me?

Lao Feng's mind raced.

If it were someone from the Military Statistics Bureau, there'd be no need to be sneaky about it.

As long as He Jinshui gave a direct order, he could have me handle it.

So the other party wasn't coming for my Military Statistics Bureau identity.

「……」Lao Feng pondered, then a bold guess suddenly came to mind, and his eyelids twitched twice.

Had my Red Party identity been leaked?

The person who sent the note knows my hidden identity, but is worried the Military Statistics Bureau won't act, so they want to ask me for help?

Lao Feng only felt his heart clench twice, and the hand hidden in his sleeve involuntarily tightened.

How did I get exposed?

Could there be a traitor selling me out?

But on second thought, if other teammates had been arrested, there'd be no need to go through all this; they should have caught me by now…

Moreover, the organization hasn't had any recent operations, so there's no chance of identity leakage.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lao Feng decided to report this first.

This concerns the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians; we can't pretend not to see it.

Chen Yongren followed Lao Feng at a leisurely pace, watching him enter a grocery store, find the shopkeeper at the counter, pretend to discuss business, and then follow him to a back room.

After about ten or so minutes, Lao Feng came out again.

After observing him, Chen Yongren

It turned out that Lao Feng's superior, after seeking approval, agreed to let him first check the situation, and if it was true, they would try to relocate the civilians.

That night.

Lao Feng then used hunting as an excuse to go up the mountain; He Jinshui didn't think much of it, since he usually had that hobby.

But in reality, Lao Feng went to the address left by Chen Yongren to gather information.

He discovered that there were indeed civilians there, and even quite a few children.

Lao Feng was shocked, asked a few basic questions, and found that they were indeed the batch of civilians rescued by the Military Statistics Bureau.

Even a child asked him if he was the person sent by that older brother from before.

Lao Feng hesitated a moment, nodded, and then immediately reported the matter.

The Fengtian Red Party was very efficient; soon someone came to transfer this batch of civilians.

Chen Yongren, who had been observing covertly, also quietly followed them to provide protection as needed.

After confirming their safety, Chen Yongren didn't linger in Fengtian, but directly opened the Any Door and returned to Jinmen.

Because the Any Door's uses were limited at the moment, Chen Yongren also dared not waste it recklessly.

Having returned three days early, it wasn't appropriate to go straight home now.

Chen Yongren also casually found a hotel to stay in, and checked the reward obtained from destroying the Japanese bacteria factory.

【Virus Expert】: You will become a top-tier biologist worldwide, able to quickly formulate a drug that rapidly destroys their genes based on the physical conditions of people from different regions.

Seeing this, Chen Yongren instantly felt energized.

Great stuff.

If the chance arises, I'll get some raw materials, have the little Japanese do experiments, and let them truly feel what it's like to wish they were dead.

Chen Yongren lounged in the hotel, patiently killing time.

……

Chen Yongren's home.

Lin Ke Xin lay on the bed, her expression solemn.

A few days ago, after she went out and came back, she heard the household servant say that people from the Jinmen Special Agency had come to question, asking where Chen Yongren was when the biochemical weapons were seized.

The household servant didn't know what that meant, and honestly said that Chen Yongren had briefly gone out that day to buy a late-night snack, but soon returned.

Since following Chen Yongren to Jinmen, Lin Ke Xin had never encountered anything like this before.

She subconsciously felt that something was going to happen, but just then, Chen Yongren wasn't in Jinmen.

Recently nothing had happened at home, and there were no Japanese troops monitoring nearby, yet Lin Ke Xin still sensed a hint of danger.

But she can't just act rashly now; she can only keep the household normal, patiently wait for Chen Yongren to return, then tell him about this and ask his opinion.

……

Jinmen Special Agency.

Chen Yongren in seclusion, Chi Mu Chengping on this side wasn't idle either, constantly busy screening for internal spies.

These days, Chi Mu Chengping has carefully reviewed the personnel movements on the day the equipment was seized; everything was completely normal, with no suspicious points.

After a long search with no results, the old Japanese, irritated, pinched the bridge of his nose, casually tossed a report aside, lowered his head to look, and saw there was actually another one underneath.

Looking closely at the name, it actually read Yuan Chief.

"Why is the Chief here too?" Chi Mu Chengping felt bewildered: "When did I investigate him?"

"Reporting to Major His Excellency, didn't you say that regardless of identity, as long as one is within the agency, an investigation must be launched?" The Major beside him said nervously.

"Idiot, you stupid bastard..." Chi Mu Chengping couldn't help but want to curse.

Who is the Yuan Chief?

How could there be a problem?

How come all my subordinates are such brainless idiots?

But since we've already investigated, might as well take a look.

Chi Mu Chengping then opened the document, his brow furrowing.

The document showed that on the day the equipment was lost, the Yuan Chief had gone out to buy a late-night snack, but soon returned home.

The time was very short, so short that there wasn't even enough time for Chen Yongren to go to the train station.

"You idiot, I've been under so much pressure lately that I actually thought of suspecting the Chief." Chi Mu Chengping gave a self-deprecating laugh, casually tossed the document aside, and waved his hand impatiently.

The Japanese devil Major stood up and hurriedly turned to leave.

Chi Mu Chengping rubbed his face hard and muttered to himself: "Speaking of which, the Chief has been in seclusion for a while now; this kid, where on earth did he go? I can't even find him."

The days without him around have indeed been much quieter...

Huh?

Chi Mu Chengping suddenly felt something was off.

The Yuan Chief disappeared, and it became quiet.

Chi Mu Chengping earnestly recalled.

Upon careful thought, it seems...

Before the Yuan Chief arrived, Jinmen had always been peaceful, with basically no serious incidents.

Especially the investigation into the Military Statistics Bureau's Jinmen station yielded abundant results.

They even captured alive the station chief of the Jinmen station, Pei San.

But not long after he arrived...

Pei San died.

The investigation into the Military Statistics Bureau's Jinmen station has yielded no results to this day.

Next, he suppressed Yuan Gangxian and took control of the company.

Furthermore, he devised those loans and beverage factories targeting overseas Chinese.

Those overseas Chinese who borrowed money were treated terribly, and to this day they have hardly repaid any loans.

As well as the envoy's assassination, counterfeit currency case, and banquet assassination.

Each incident was bigger than the last.

And before this, Jinmen had never seen such things.

Then, after the biological weapon was seized, he chose to go into seclusion, disappearing for almost seven days.

Could all of this be mere coincidence?

Upon careful thought, the Yuan Chief seems to be intentionally or unintentionally hinting that there is a traitor inside...

Something's wrong.

Very wrong.

The Yuan Chief by my side couldn't possibly be someone sent by the Military Statistics Bureau, could he?

Chi Mu Chengping suddenly had a ridiculous thought in his mind.
