Chapter 602: Return Journey, New Agency Director

Damn it.

Chen Yongyi grew angrier the more he thought about it.

I had wanted to cultivate outstanding agents for the Red Party, but in the end let the Military Statistics Bureau people pick up the bargain.

The scene of the two brothers meeting also differed somewhat from what he had imagined.

"I now somewhat regret sending you to the Military Statistics Bureau," Chen Yongyi said, letting out a deep sigh.

If he were a squad leader, he would try to win him over.

But now…

"A Ren, I'm relieved you're unharmed, but now isn't the time to say this," Chen Yongyi said, taking a deep breath.

"It's getting late; you'd better head back soon to avoid raising suspicion. You also know the Military Statistics Bureau's rules: after completing a mission, privately leaving the unit is a major taboo."

Chen Yongren understood that, because of his high status and power, this convenient older brother felt uneasy in his heart and dared not easily approach or try to win him over.

"Understood." Chen Yongren said no more, rose and left.

Anyway, with a tracking card on him, Chen Yongren could always find Chen Yongyi.

Watching Chen Yongren's departing back, Chen Yongyi's expression was complex.

Although today's contact with Chen Yongren was brief, the amount of information was huge; it must be reported promptly, with superiors deciding what comes next.

A Ren, A Ren…

Chen Yongyi rubbed his nose bridge with a slight headache, then went to the kitchen to check his clothes; after confirming they were completely burned, he locked the door and went to bed to rest.

As Chen Yongren expected, after Ma Han Wu was assassinated, the Japanese began imposing martial law on the streets of Cangzhou.

But Chen Yongren had the identity of Yuan Chief, so he also didn't need to worry about being stopped and checked.

On the way, Chen Yongren opened the ghost radio.

He concealed his meeting with Chen Yongyi, reported that he had successfully led his troops to kill Ma Han Wu and had also smoothly obtained the Trigger.

Yu City was delighted to receive this news, followed by the usual praise and commendation, plus a cash reward.

Chen Yongren was already familiar with the relevant procedures; after exchanging pleasantries, Yu City indicated that it would arrange a specialist within three days to transfer the Trigger.

Chen Yongren and his group would, after sending off the Trigger, take a train from Cangzhou back to Jinmen.

Next, Yu City told Chen Yongren another piece of intelligence.

A new Agency Director was about to arrive in Jinmen.

The old devil was named Nakamura Ge.

35 years old, an army colonel.

He had no aristocratic background, came from humble origins, relied on his own efforts to enter the Japanese Army Academy, was also a member of the Sword Unit, and was a representative figure of the young and strong faction in the military.

Thanks to his battlefield exploits, he had been expected to rise to major general before forty, but because he was hit by a stray bullet that shattered his thigh bone during frontline combat, leaving one leg lame.

Whenever the weather was overcast and rainy, his thigh would ache faintly, preventing him from commanding operations normally, so Nakamura Ge could only retire to the second line to live out his years.

Precisely for this reason, he came to hate the resistance fighters intensely, believing they had deprived him of his chance for promotion.

Damn it.

A Japanese cripple is still so arrogant.

Chen Yongren prepared to go back and then, depending on the situation, decide whether to deal with it.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yongren stopped calling back and returned to the hotel.

"How's the Trigger?" Seeing Lin Ke Xin sitting on the bed resting, Chen Yongren asked softly.

"He's resting in a safe house and can be transferred at any time," Lin Ke Xin said.

She was wondering where Chen Yongren had gone after the mission ended.

Then Chen Yongren said, "I just contacted Yu City; they told me that another Agency Director has arrived in Jinmen."

"So soon, another one?" Lin Ke Xin exclaimed in surprise.

"Jinmen, after all, counts as a major station; how could the Japanese possibly let this position stay vacant?" Chen Yongren briefly introduced Nakamura Ge.

"From what you're saying, this old devil isn't easy to deal with," Lin Ke Xin said worriedly.

Chen Yongren, however, didn't think so.

The worst-case scenario would simply be to take out Nakamura Ge again.

Anyway, we've already taken out two; if Nakamura Ge refuses to obey, we'll just make him the third.

The next day.

Because the enemy that attacked Ma Han Wu possessed extremely strong firepower, this immediately alerted the Japanese military police stationed in Cangzhou.

Upon learning that a Japanese noble was staying at the hotel, they worried Chen Yongren might meet with an accident and therefore specially drafted a dozen or so military police to protect his safety.

For something that could waste Japanese manpower, Chen Yongren was naturally willing.

The remaining roughly half of a company of Japanese military police then took local constables, detective units, and plainclothes special agents to search the city.

They had almost turned Cangzhou upside down, yet still found nothing.

Chen Yongren continued to calmly promote the Shining West Beverage, patiently awaiting a message from Yu City.

The escorts of those two drifters had also returned; since they were Chen Yongren's guards, they did not arouse suspicion among the Japanese military police.

After promoting for two days straight, Chen Yongren's orders kept increasing.

On the third day, the Trigger was taken away by the contact person; Chen Yongren specifically examined them with a scanning eye, and their identity was normal—just an ordinary Military Statistics Bureau agent.

Since the person had been picked up, Chen Yongren didn't want to waste more time in Cangzhou, so he called the station to have them send two deluxe car tickets.

Early the next day.

The four of them then took the train back to Jinmen.

……

Jinmen Special Agency

Suddenly, a ragged, angry curse echoed from the meeting room.

Damn it, what are you saying? My assistant actually isn't at his post—he ran off to Cangzhou to promote some drink!

A Japanese major who looks like a dumpling kept slamming the table in anger.

"Yes!" a lieutenant officer stammered.

Too arrogant, who gave him the authority? The Jinmen Special Agency is already in a state of neglect awaiting revival, yet he dares to abandon his post without permission! Zhongcun Ge snapped.

As an assistant, failing to keep track of the new superior's movements is a serious dereliction of duty.

Could it be that you want me to organize the documents myself?

Major His Excellency, Chief Commander Young Master went to Cangzhou with General Anda's approval... a lieutenant said cautiously.

After all, having received favors from Yuan Chief, one must speak well of him.

Zhongcun Ge glared fiercely at the one who had said that.

Damn!

What do you mean by saying that? Do you think I'm afraid of General Anda?

The lieutenant shrank back.

Zhongcun Ge looked around the meeting room and snapped, "Look at your state—where is the military prestige of the Great Japan Younger Brother Country's locust army?"

Just a minor setback, and you've ended up like this—no spirit, no shame!

Listening to his dressing-down, the officers all lowered their heads, afraid to speak, while inwardly they scorned this arrogant fellow.

Damn!

This damned guy, as soon as he arrived, tried to intimidate us.

Just wait until Chief Commander Young Master returns—see how he'll deal with you!

Seeing everyone around him lower their heads, Zhongcun Ge felt immense satisfaction.

I don't care about the old rules.

From now on, all work must follow my arrangements.

Furthermore!

Once Yuan Chief returns, have him report to me right away…

Before he could finish, the meeting room door suddenly opened and a scornful voice rang out.

Then report to you what exactly?
