Chapter 681: Aboveboard Framing

Even over the phone, Chen Yongren could feel Gangcun Ningci's anger, and he deliberately added fuel to the fire: "General Gangcun is absolutely right; this also indirectly shows that our logistics department has a serious problem…"

"I am worried…"

"Old devil, get angry—being angry is right!"

"You old devil, if you don't get angry, how can I make blood flow like a river? Chen Yongren only felt that the big knife in his hand was already thirsty and hard to bear."

"Just take that little devil's head as a lucky start and slaughter them one by one."

"Chen Yongren even calculated in his mind whether to find an opportunity to topple that dog Gangcun Ningci as well."

"What are you worried about?" Gangcun Ningci asked.

"Chen Yongren spoke bluntly: "General, anyone can see this involves too much; a small company, without the tacit approval of superiors, how could they dare to seek personal gain through power?""

"Gangcun Ningci expressed his tacit approval by remaining silent."

"I even suspect it's not just this unit."

"Even the entire North China logistics force, or any units related to logistics, have problems; I think it's time for a comprehensive inspection."

"If we do that, we could gain control of the little devils' logistics department; then leaking a bit of information would satisfy Dai Lao ban, and it would also conveniently help my older brother."

"But this also faces a problem…"

"Saying this, Chen Yongren wanted to speak but held back."

"Although the whole case is just the old devils' own imagination."

"But Chen Yongren doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire, taking the chance to chop off a few more devils' heads."

"The logistics department is so lucrative, with many factions involved; investigating further will inevitably uncover some high officials who cannot be named."

"After careful calculation, I have already suffered two assassinations; besides anger, I also feel a bit of fear and worry…"

"But speaking too directly makes the purpose too obvious."

"So, I'll put some hints in my words, letting Gangcun Ningci imagine the rest."

""Are you worried about uncovering people who shouldn't be investigated?" Gangcun Ningci sensed Chen Yongren's worry."

""Of course." Chen Yongren said directly: "Although the Yuan Clan is powerful, I'm not crazy enough to create an unknown number of enemies at once.""

"Moreover, since it involves the military, there are always people we cannot afford to provoke; if we really find that person's head, do you say we should continue investigating or back down?"

""Back down?" Gangcun Ningci said coldly: "Selling weapons to the peasant guerrillas— in light terms it's aiding the enemy, in serious terms it's treason colluding with the enemy!""

""Chief Director Sir, keep investigating; no matter who we find, there's no need to worry—I've got everything covered, so don't worry about these issues!""

""Whoever dares to obstruct your investigation can be struck first and reported later; I will bear all consequences!""

"Gangcun Ningci was very angry."

"His own troops have such serious problems; if he doesn't investigate, the headquarters will send people to investigate him—how could he just sit by and do nothing?"

""Hai!" Chen Yongren laughed: "With your words, I can rest easy!""

""Chief Director Sir, stay safe; they've already produced a madman inside, and there will surely be a second, third… To obstruct your investigation, they'll do any crazy thing!" Gangcun Ningci said sternly."

""I will send another company to protect your safety; at critical moments, you can carry out necessary counterattacks…""

"Gangcun Ningci's words were rather veiled."

""Yes, I understand." Chen Yongren acknowledged, then hung up."

"With the old devil's chicken-feather order, he could now really stir things up."

"……"

"In Gangcun Ningci's office."

"After the old devil hung up the phone, his face grew so dark it seemed about to drip water."

""Commander, what happened? What did Chief Director Sir say on the phone? What assassination?" Anda 23 asked urgently."

""Just now, when Chief Director Sir went to investigate the death of Cunxi Gong, a soldier grabbed a grenade, wanting to die together with him." Gangcun Ningci said in a muffled voice."

""What?" Anda 23 exclaimed in surprise: "A grenade—have they gone mad?""

"Gangcun Ningci was about to speak when another phone ring rang."

""Moshi moshi." Gangcun Ningci answered the phone."

""What?""

""Yo xi, I understand; continue analyzing, I want a more detailed inspection report!""

"Gangcun Ningci hung up again and told Anda 23: "The forensic department sent word—they've already autopsied Cunxi Gong's corpse and found a large amount of water containing aconitine inside.""

"Hearing this, Anda 23's eyelids twitched twice, and he only felt a lingering fear."

"If the Yuan Chief had also drunk the water back then…"

"But soon Anda 23 realized another problem: "Commander, Cunxi Gong is dead—how are we supposed to report to our superiors?""

""This guy is already identified as a Red Party agent!""

""People are dead—what else can we report? Cunxi Gong's corpse is in the mortuary; if you don't believe me, let them come check themselves!" Gangcun Ningci said angrily: "If they want the corpse, give it to them.""

"Anda 23 lowered his head, silent, and didn't say much more."

"Compared to the already deceased Cunxi Gong, Gangcun Ningci now wants even more to root out the moth-eaten bugs hidden in the army, then chop them into minced meat to feed the dogs."

"Meanwhile, the real Cunxi Gong has already been moved by Chen Yongyi to a ruined temple in the suburbs."

"Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Chen Yongyi's expression grew solemn; he had tried to wake Cunxi Gong."

"No matter what he did, Cunxi Gong showed no response; if not for his younger brother saying he was still alive, Chen Yongyi would have thought it was just a corpse."

"What exactly did his younger brother feed him?"

"Chen Yongyi felt strange, but for now he could only suppress his curiosity and patiently wait for Cunxi Gong to wake up."

"……"

"After hanging up, Chen Yongren ordered the troops stationed outside to enter the warehouse, and temporarily requisitioned Ye Shan Zijiji's office as an interrogation room, then began interrogating Ye Shan Zijiji."

""Ye Shan Zijiji, tell me what's going on." Chen Yongren looked at the nervously seated Ye Shan Zijiji and smiled."

Today's mind control skill has already been used; if we want to use it again, we still have to wait another ten or so hours before we can. There's plenty of time to keep it company and play slowly.

"Chief Commander Young Master, what do you want me to say? I don't understand at all," Yeshan Ziji said with an awkward smile.

It never expected that the place where it worked every day would actually become a venue for interrogation.

"Sir Yeshan, do you really want to tell me that that guy dared to assassinate two Younger Brother Country investigators without anyone ordering him?" Chen Yongren said with a dark face.

"When he finally died, he said something about making money; what exactly does that mean?"

"Besides your normal work, do you have any other ways to make money?"

Hearing that, Yeshan Ziji's expression froze, and he lowered his head, saying: "Chief Director Sir, this guy is spouting nonsense; how could you believe him?"

"Nonsense?" Chen Yongren said: "If it really were nonsense, why would he have attacked Sir Cunxi, and why would he have attacked me?"
