Chapter 687: Help Them Maintain Their Dignity

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yongren urgently interrogated Yèshān Zījì.

Zhongyuan Shen also arranged personnel to guard the munitions warehouse safety, then continued to protect Chen Yongren at his side.

The cooldown of the mind control skill just ended.

Chen Yongren, who originally intended to use it on him, temporarily changed his mind.

Because this guy Yèshān Zījì's buttocks were never clean, he had to wait for him to confess some high-ranking officers first, in order to maximize the value of this skill.

"Yèshān Zījì, no wonder you're so tight-lipped; did you already realize someone would destroy evidence for you, so you felt fearless?" Chen Yongren looked at Yèshān Zījì and said coldly.

Destroy evidence?

What does that mean?

Yèshān Zījì was full of question marks, because having been detained all along, although he heard the commotion outside, he didn't know what had happened.

Who could have imagined that Chen Yongren, in order to pin the treasonous black pot on them, would first send them a hat of a burned warehouse?

"Chief Commander, what are you saying? The warehouse was burned?" Yèshān Zījì was somewhat bewildered.

It was just using his authority to smuggle some supplies, and exploiting reasonable loss to embezzle a bit of the army's assets.

There wasn't no food in the warehouse; what exactly did those people upstairs intend to do, to the point of setting fire to the warehouse?

Isn't this plainly saying the logistics department has serious problems; General Okamura will only get angrier, determined to get to the bottom of it, and nobody will escape.

Could it really be that someone inside is selling supplies to the Eighth Route Army?

Yèshān Zījì's mind suddenly produced a bold idea.

"You guys this time, whether you have it or not, you must have it," Chen Yongren gave Zhongyuan Shen a look.

"Do the act fully; if you get scared over something this simple, wasn't all the previous acting for nothing?"

Zhongyuan Shen suddenly understood, picked up a stool leg from the ground, and then fiercely greeted Yèshān Zījì with it.

Although Chen Yongren didn't say it outright, Zhongyuan Shen also knew in his mind, pulling his punches so as not to beat himself to death.

Yèshān Zījì's shrill wail echoed again inside the room.

"Your persistence is meaningless; now they dare to burn the warehouse, next they'll try to kill you." Chen Yongren looked at it with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said: "Yèshān Zījì, you hold so many secrets, do you really think you can get away unscathed?"

Upon hearing that, Yèshān Zījì's eyes wavered slightly.

It also realized that the Yuan Chief hadn't deceived it; if it stubbornly resisted this matter, it would be a dead end with no burial place.

"Battalion Commander Mishima, he's Mishima Tsutsuyo shōsa!" Yèshān Zījì shouted loudly.

"Colonel Setoda trusts him the most; if you capture him, you'll surely get the answer you want."

Yèshān Zījì's single sentence directly sold out two people.

"Who is Mishima, and who is Colonel Setoda?" Chen Yongren asked coldly.

"Colonel Setoda is the logistics regiment commander of the 12th Army's 21st Division, and Mishima is my superior mainly responsible for truck allocation." Yèshān Zījì almost roared this sentence.

"Where are they!" Chen Yongren asked coldly.

The head of the logistics unit isn't necessarily in Northern Peace; if he's elsewhere, then we'd need that old devil Okamura Ningci to pull some strings.

"They're right in Northern Peace!" Yèshān Zījì said with a pained face: "We just finished a transport mission; they're currently resting inside Northern Peace city."

Upon hearing that, Chen Yongren showed a satisfied look, gazing at Zhongyuan Shen: "Zhongyuan, this matter is entrusted to you; no matter what they're doing, you must definitely have them come for interrogation."

"If they won't be decent, then we'll make them decent, got it?"

"Yes, Chief Commander, I understand!" Zhongyuan Shen straightened, bowed his head, couldn't help clenching his fists, face full of excitement.

The meaning of these words isn't just to seize the target personnel without regard for consequences or method, right?

And what about a colonel?

Upon meeting, the Special Investigation Squad is three ranks higher!

Even saying this indirectly, don't mention a colonel; even if a major general commits an offense, we'll catch him for you to see!

Moreover, this is the best opportunity to show loyalty; there must be absolutely no hesitation.

Thinking that he had a chance to personally capture a colonel, Zhongyuan Shen felt an indescribable excitement.

Colonel ah.

I don't know what it feels like to fight a colonel.

"Remember, don't use the people here!" Chen Yongren instructed Zhongyuan Shen: "Go to the North China Command to borrow troops; I don't believe they can still infiltrate the guard unit of the North China Military Department!"

Old devil Okamura said it all; letting him play freely, Chen Yongren naturally went big.

Associating today's warehouse fire, Zhongyuan Shen suddenly understood, his expression turned solemn, he hurried downstairs and began arranging the operation to capture them.

Chen Yongren then looked at the ashen-faced Yèshān Zījì and smiled: "Don't worry, Yèshān, I've already recorded your merit; I'll plead with General Okamura for you."

Yèshān Zījì tried to squeeze out a smile, but discovered he simply couldn't.

"Chief Commander, I clearly know my crimes are unforgivable; I only ask that after something happens to me, you keep my family safe." Yèshān Zījì pleaded.

Family?

Chen Yongren sensed the factor; they must not be allowed to set off together in neat order.

"No problem, your request is simple." Chen Yongren smiled and asked: "Where are your family members? I can send people ahead to protect their safety."

"After all, you know, they're a bunch of lunatics; knowing you betrayed your superior, the relevant personnel will definitely launch retaliation against you."

Yèshān Zījì quickly gave an address.

"Yo, believe me, Yèshān Jun, they will have a wonderful future, I swear on the honor of the Yuan Clan."

Anyway, I'm not a member of the Yuan Clan, so whether its honor matters or not is none of my business.

But seeing Chen Yongren's attitude, Yèshān Zījì felt a secret delight.

Swearing on the family's honor, it had no doubt whatsoever about Chen Yongren's words.

On Zhongyuan Shen's side, he also went to the North China Military Department; initially borrowing troops met some obstacles, but when he brought forth the Yuan Chief and Okamura's name, he smoothly secured a squad's worth of troops and three trucks.

Dozens of people mightily set out for the residence inside Setoda Plain.

"Baka, I think you're crazy!" The butler of the Orita family pointed at Zhongyuan Shen and said: "Do you have an order from the military department? You rashly barge into the residence of a Younger Brother Country major…"

Zhongyuan Shen, annoyed, waved his hand forcefully.

A few Japanese soldiers quickly stepped forward and directly hauled the butler to one side.

The guards stationed here, seeing this, initially wanted to intervene, but Zhongyuan Shen directly dropped the name of Okamura Ningci, and these guards, no matter how bold, dared not stop.

The group entered Orita Hiranai's bedroom in a nearly brutal manner.

"Baka yarou, noisy, what do you want!" The awakened Orita Hiranai cursed, looking at the group that had burst into his bedroom, his eyes widened instantly.

"Who are you, what do you want, actually bringing guns and barging into my residence—do you intend to rebel?"

Zhongyuan Shen slightly bowed, intentionally being difficult: "Major His Excellency, the Chief of Staff Middle Colonel has something to ask you; please cooperate with our investigation."

"Tch, just a lowly second lieutenant, where…"

"Speak!"
