Chapter 669: Contact

The two Japanese agents hiding in the alley felt the time was about right; just as they were about to peek out, they saw a familiar figure standing before them.

Oh no.

We've been discovered!

The two Japanese agents exchanged a glance, had no time to think how they'd been exposed, and turned to flee.

Chen Yongren wasn't polite either; he drew his Luger pistol, aimed at their backs, and shouted, "If you run again, I'll shoot!"

Hearing that, the two Japanese agents' feet stalled.

No matter how fast a person is, how could they outrun a bullet?

"Put your hands up and lie against the wall, or I'll shoot!" Chen Yongren said again.

The two Japanese agents exchanged a glance, didn't dare delay, and immediately complied.

After all.

After all, they didn't dare gamble with their own lives.

"Talk, who are you and why are you following me!" Chen Yongren assumed a wary stance, left arm bent holding the gun at his left waist aimed at them, while his other hand carefully checked them for weapons.

Of course, this was all Chen Yongren acting, simply wanting to make those two bastards let down their guard.

Just as Chen Yongren was speaking, a figure happened to pass by the alley entrance.

When he saw Chen Yongren pointing a gun at the two, he first froze, then immediately raised his hands in panic.

The surprise on his face was genuine, because Chen Yongyi hadn't expected Chen Yongren to not be eating at the restaurant with Cun Xigong, but instead to be tangled up with someone in the alley.

Could he have run into some danger?

But it didn't look like that; rather, those two guys were frightened like quail.

At the time I was on the main street, having just finished my disguise, Chen Yongyi couldn't openly acknowledge him either, so he just went along with the role.

Chen Yongren was also somewhat surprised by the sight.

Because the scan-eye showed that this person who suddenly appeared before him, with a full beard and round-frame glasses, was no one else—it was his older brother in disguise.

Chen Yongyi.

The current status showed that this guy was preparing to meet with Cun Xigong.

Chen Yongren almost laughed out loud; his older brother's disguise skills were getting better and better.

If it weren't for the scan-eye in hand, he really couldn't have told at a glance that this person before him was his brother in disguise.

Want to meet up?

That's not simple.

The two dog agents currently tailing him have already been intercepted by him—this is a perfect chance to let them meet.

"Bah, what are you staring at? Look again and I'll gouge your dog eyes out, get lost!" Chen Yongren glared at Chen Yongyi and shouted in Chinese.

"Hai, hai!" Chen Yongyi feigned panic, bowing and saluting repeatedly, then quickly ran off.

After chasing off Chen Yongyi, Chen Yongren turned his head back to the two agents.

"Chief Commander, don't be nervous; we are agents of the North Peace Special Agency's Special Higher Section, we're on your side." The agent on the left tried to keep his voice gentle.

"Right, right." The agent on the right nodded repeatedly, then said, "If you don't believe us, we can show you our credentials."

"North Peace Special Agency?" Chen Yongren stepped back two steps, still keeping a wary expression.

"Really, we're not lying; we work in the Special Agency next door to you. When you came to the Special Agency for personnel selection, we even saw you then." The agent on the right slightly turned his head, smiling.

Chen Yongren's expression eased a bit, and he said coldly, "Slowly turn around, slowly take out your credentials and hand them to me so I can see your other hand; any other move and I'll shoot you dead!"

The two Japanese agents hurriedly nodded, then took out their credentials one after another and handed them to Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren took the credentials, examined them carefully, pretended to relax, tossed them back, but still held his gun and said coldly, "Who let you follow me!"

At present he didn't know there was anything wrong with Cun Xigong, so he pretended to be clueless, simply assuming they were tailing him.

Anyway, those two Japanese wouldn't dare openly say they were here to surveil Cun Xigong; this also gave them an excuse.

Hearing that, the two Japanese agents blinked, then realized that "Yuan Chief" had misunderstood.

The agent on the left reacted fastest, immediately saying, "Chief Matsuzaki was worried about your and Mr. Cun Xigong's safety, so he specially sent us to secretly protect you."

Having been worried about how to explain, since they'd been misunderstood, they might as well go along with it.

The agent on the right nodded in agreement.

Chen Yongren gave a cold snort and said, "I don't need your protection; I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go!"

"Scram right away, don't disturb my and Cun Xigong's dining pleasure; I'll tell your commander later, and he won't blame you!"

Hearing that, the two Japanese agents looked at each other.

"Protecting the Yuan Chief is a pretense; secretly surveilling Cun Xigong is the real goal—how could they just leave?"

"Bah!" Seeing they said nothing, Chen Yongren feigned anger, again aimed his Luger at them, and shouted, "Without my permission, attempting to follow and surveil a Younger Brother Country lieutenant!"

"Who gave you the gall—do you want to rebel?"

"Believe it or not, even if I killed you in the street, no one inside would dare gossip!"

Seeing the dark muzzle before them, the two Japanese agents felt a jolt in their hearts.

This gentleman is of high status; even if he were really shot dead, the truth would surely be covered up internally.

"Privacy mosaic, we're leaving now!" The two Japanese agents said in unison, bowed together, and then left without looking back.

Chen Yongren stayed where he was, watched the two figures disappear from sight, then used his scan-eye ability to check that there were no Japanese agents near East Comes Smooth before putting his mind at ease.

But he didn't immediately go look for Cun Xigong.

After all.

His older brother was intending to meet up with Cun Xigong.

……

Chen Yongyi was also secretly relieved that Chen Yongren hadn't discovered his disguise.

It's already past eight; if Chen Yongren is here, Cun Xigong is surely nearby as well—let's get him first and talk later!

Thinking that, Chen Yongyi hurried into Donglaishun, his gaze quickly sweeping the hall, but he didn't see Cun Xigong.

The waiter was just about to step forward to attend.

"I'm looking for a friend." Chen Yongyi directly sent the waiter away.

The waiter, having traveled far and wide and seen all kinds of people, saw Chen Yongyi's unfriendly demeanor and immediately gave an obedient nod, stepping aside.

No need to worry about all that; as long as they're not Japanese, as long as there's no fight in the shop, it's fine.

Not finding Cun Xigong on the first floor, Chen Yongyi hurried upstairs to the second floor.

Since he didn't know which private room Chen Yongren had booked, he pretended to walk into the wrong room—a foolish way to look for someone.

Although the method was clumsy, Chen Yongren soon found the right place.

"Sorry, I…" Chen Yongyi pushed open another door, looked up, and saw Cun Xigong sitting at a round table piled with lamb.

Damn it, finally found the right place.

Chen Yongyi glanced left and right, then quickly walked into the private room.

Seeing the stranger suddenly walk in, Cun Xigong frowned and asked in Chinese: "Sir, I don't think I know you; may I ask who you're looking for?"
