Chapter 570: You still want to bring the ashes back to the country? Dream on!

Chen Yongren no longer stood on ceremony, flipping through the documents in the study.

The old devil was very law-abiding; important documents were never taken out, the study merely held papers needing signatures.

Chen Yongren lost interest after looking for a while.

He opened the door and walked out of the study, telling the guard at the entrance: "Get ready, immediately compile a list of people who were on good terms with my uncle."

"I will personally call them to notify them to come attend my uncle's funeral."

"Hai!" the guard captain said nothing more, standing straight and bowing deeply.

For convenience, Chen Yongren didn't go home first; he sent a telegram to Jingdu, informing his family far away there of Chi Mu Chengping's suicide.

As Chen Yongren expected.

The family was shocked by this, but by the time they rushed over it was too late; they could only urge the Yuan Chief to handle these matters.

Chen Yongren gave a casual reply, then notified everyone by phone according to military rank.

Chi Mu Chengping suddenly committed suicide as an apology, causing a great uproar in Jinmen.

No one expected that the director of Jinmen's Special Agency would suddenly kill himself.

The old devil Chi Mu Chengping's corpse was properly handled, and a specialist had done his makeup.

All the prominent figures from every sector of Jinmen came to attend the funeral.

Besides Yuan Gangxian, this fellow actually wanted to.

But Chen Yongren directly refused, and simply had someone watch it, lest this thing come cause trouble.

The three members of the Youqichuangongjingxiang family also appeared at the funeral.

"Chief." Seeing Chen Yongren's weary face, Jingxiang quickly walked to his side and said.

"Jingxiang, you've come?" Chen Yongren forced out a faint smile.

"Chief, you…" Jingxiang's face full of concern.

Chen Yongren's voice trembled as he said: "It's fine, nothing's wrong, I'm still okay, no need to worry about me."

"Chief you…" Youqichuangongjingxiang Jingxiang's eyes were full of heartache.

Does this look like nothing's wrong?

Jingxiang had wanted to offer a few more words of comfort, but finally took a deep breath, gently took Chen Yongren's hand, and softly said: "Chief, no matter what happens, I will stay by your side."

"Dry dad!"

Jingxiang whispered encouragement.

Chen Yongren nodded: "Believe me, Jingxiang, I will surely handle these matters quickly, regain my vigor, and that spirited Yuan Chief will return soon."

"Mm!" Jingxiang nodded heavily.

The funeral lasted four days; on the last day, the old devil Chi Mu Chengping's corpse was finally cremated, and then the scattered bone fragments were personally picked up by Chen Yongren and placed into the ash urn.

During these days, Jingxiang had constantly stayed by Chen Yongren's side, appearing every bit the mistress of the house.

The funeral ended.

"Chief, rest well these few days; I'll come find you again in a few days." Jingxiang lightly patted the back of Chen Yongren's hand.

Chen Yongren gave a soft hum, holding Chi Mu Chengping's ashes as he returned to the villa.

Seeing Chen Yongren return, Lin Ke Xin hurriedly rose from the sofa.

After waking up, Lin Ke Xin had heard of Chi Mu Chengping's sudden suicide; she had wanted to ask Chen Yongren what happened, but he hadn't been home for days, only now returning.

"Chief…" Lin Ke Xin looked at the ash urn in Chen Yongren's arms, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Meishako." Chen Yongren squeezed out a faint smile; "I feel tired, will you keep me company back to the room?"

After all, there were Japanese servants in the house, so the act still had to be performed in full.

"Mm!" Lin Ke Xin nodded, stepped forward to support Chen Yongren back to the room.

The door was closed.

The weariness on Chen Yongren's face vanished completely, replaced by a smile.

The speed of his emotional shift left Lin Ke Xin momentarily unable to react.

You really… A Ren't willing to act even a second longer.

Lin Ke Xin whispered: "How did you manage that? No, wait—why would you do that? No, wait—how did you suddenly strike it? You don't need it, do you?"

Under Chen Yongren's influence, Lin Ke Xin also came to use "it" to refer to the Japanese.

"Because of you." Chen Yongren looked at Lin Ke Xin and said seriously.

"Me?" Lin Ke Xin said.

"Of course, if the old devil suspected you while I wasn't by your side, you'd be in danger." Chen Yongren blurted out nonsense.

"So to avoid this trouble, I can only eliminate the source of the trouble."

"Such a beautiful wife is rare; how could I bear to see you come to harm?"

"Looking back, my skill is still not bad; no one has questioned Chi Mu Chengping's cause of death."

Seeing Chen Yongren speak more and more irreverently, Lin Ke Xin knew he was talking nonsense, gave him a sideways glance, and asked: "How did you kill it?"

"Hypnosis." Chen Yongren said solemnly.

"Hypnosis?" Lin Ke Xin gradually recalled that when Chen Yongren had interrogated a Japanese spy, he had produced an object, waved it twice before its eyes, and then fully cooperated with the interrogation.

"Exactly, I hypnotized it first, making it write a suicide note and then swallow a gun to kill itself." Chen Yongren solemnly fabricated the story.

Is this thing really that useful?

"Want to learn?" Chen Yongren asked again.

Lin Ke Xin's eyes lit up as she nodded.

"Give a nice-sounding call." Chen Yongren smirked.

"Forget teaching it." Lin Ke Xin pursed her lips, changing the subject: "Chi Mu Chengping is dead—what will you do next? A Ren't you afraid someone unsupportive will show up?"

When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover with earth. Chen Yongren spoke bluntly: "In our line of work, we must always be ready for unexpected events; things won't always go as we expect."

Just like now.

Because of my one mistake, the old devil directly suspected me.

Did you previously anticipate something like this happening?

Lin Ke Xin remained silent.

Never mind who will come; we have more important things to do now. Chen Yongren's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

What is it? Lin Ke Xin's expression tightened, and she asked again: "Could there be new orders from above?"

Chen Yongren patted the urn in his arms and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Chi Mu Chengping's ashes." Lin Ke Xin said.

You don't want to see its ashes shipped back home for worship, do you? Chen Yongren asked again.

Lin Ke Xin shook her head: "Such a great villain deserves death by all; I certainly don't want that."

If you don't want that, come with me! Chen Yongren quickly walked to the toilet in the restroom, opened the toilet lid, and then lifted the urn lid.

The old devil has done all sorts of evil in China; how could we let its ashes rest peacefully? Let it honestly go stay in the sewer!

Lin Ke Xin widened her eyes, then saw Chen Yongren pour all of Chi Mu Chengping's ashes into the toilet, and then press the flush button.

Whoosh~

The water in the tank swirled, sweeping Chi Mu Chengping's ashes into the sewer.

Large chunks of bone were also broken into small pieces by Chen Yongren and flushed into the toilet together.

"..." Lin Ke Xin's expression was stunned.

Needless to say, this really feels satisfying.

But you poured out its ashes; what do you plan to put inside instead? Lin Ke Xin did not take it.

You just need to step out for a moment. Chen Yongren made a gesturing invitation.
