Chapter 69: One Stone, Two Birds

Nowadays any cop knows that for anything involving the Japanese, just pretend not to see it.

When Chen Yongren first used his Insight, he had already heard their thoughts.

They are just a bunch of drunken Japanese ronin, relying on their Japanese nationality to do evil in the Chinese community and disturb the peace.

After Chen Yongren learned that those two women had unusual identities, a plan to get close to Fujiwara Kinta gradually formed in his mind.

The Songhu Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau has gone from overt to covert; the current mission is not only assassination but also to uncover the Japanese's upcoming attack plans and other intelligence.

Having finally waited for a chance to approach high-ranking Japanese military officers, Chen Yongren naturally wants to seize it well.

He does not expect to infiltrate the enemy's interior in one go.

But now it's like digging a foundation: knowing where to exert effort is useful, so first dig a hole and then talk.

Fujiwara Kinta is originally a spy chief.

When he first arrived in Songhu, he encountered his wife and daughter being insulted, and then being rescued by Chinese community cops; that old fellow surely couldn't help but be suspicious.

One could even say that the person in charge of investigating this matter is currently on the way to the police station.

Putting it bluntly, whoever dares to let these ronin leave the police station is just asking to take the blame.

When Japanese ronin bully a high official's wife and daughter, their best outcome is to be shot; Chen Yongren naturally has no scruples.

Just before they are shot, giving them a beating to vent anger will make use of their purpose.

Of course.

Besides targeting Fujiwara Kinta, he also intends to lure another fool to jump out voluntarily.

"Idiot, if you have the guts, kill me—I'm a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire; kill me and you won't survive either, you lowly Chinapig, let me go at once!"

"Give you one last chance, release us!"

"Once we get out, we'll go to the consulate to complain about you; you're dead meat, I'll definitely kill you!"

……

The four Japanese ronin were like mad dogs, straining their throats and shouting in Japanese.

Chen Yongren coldly eyed those Japanese ronin, without a word he drew his baton from his waist and smashed it hard onto the most arrogant one.

With a 'thud', that Japanese ronin let out a wail and collapsed immediately.

Chen Yongren said nothing extra, repeatedly striking the Japanese ronin beside his feet.

To avoid ordinary people discovering his special training, Chen Yongren used none of the military academy or secret service techniques, relying on his body strengthened by potions, focusing on overwhelming force to produce miracles.

Thuds kept ringing out, mixed with the sounds of bones breaking.

"You bastard, you dare treat me like this…" the fallen ronin screamed repeatedly, yet he remained stubborn.

"What the hell are you saying? I don't understand; speak Chinese, will you?" Chen Yongren raised his baton and smashed it at his teeth.

One strike of the baton knocked out most of his teeth; he opened his mouth and wailed loudly, and soon he was beaten to near death.

Everyone at the police station was stunned, never expecting Chen Yongren to strike so hard.

If he keeps hitting like this, someone will surely die.

"A Ren, A Ren, enough, enough, if you keep hitting like this something will happen." A cop stepped forward, embraced Chen Yongren, and turned his head to look at Zhang Haifeng.

"Haifeng, you joined the police station with us; come help persuade him."

Zhang Haifeng, who had been watching the scene, gave a casual reply and slowly walked forward.

Suddenly an angry shout came from behind.

"Chen Yongren, where the hell do you get the guts to bring Japanese people into the police station!"

Hearing that, the watching cops all made way.

A guy in a police chief's uniform walked over; he was Chen Yongren's superior at the police station.

Hu Xingrui.

A fat‑headed, big‑eared man with layers of flab on his waist; only the largest police uniform could barely contain him.

This guy is a die‑hand traitor; when Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng arrived, he was already at the police station.

Because after a certain payday distribution at the police station, there was a private card game.

Hu Xingrui saw that Chen Yongren couldn't play mahjong, so he deliberately urged him to join the table; the result was that Chen Yongren won several times by stealing the winning tile.

From then on, Hu Xingrui has always disliked Chen Yongren and often caused him trouble.

That is beyond doubt.

Because Chen Yongren had inspected him with Insight, Hu Xingrui is definitely no undercover agent for any faction; his act of pretending for his own safety makes him a complete weakling.

After the Japanese won the Songhu battle and came to take over the police station, he was the first to raise his gun and surrender, willing to cooperate with the Japanese to maintain postwar security, which earned him the police chief position.

Although he says it's for Songhu's peace, whether Chinese or Japanese, anyone disturbing Songhu's security is treated equally.

But Hu Xingrui dare not lay a hand on the Japanese.

Knowing the Japanese are extorting money from Songhu's civilians, he doesn't dare to let out a fart.

Because nothing much has happened lately, Hu Xingrui's hands got itchy and he went to the gambling house for two rounds.

Just after he rolled a triple (leopard), a subordinate came to report that Chen Yongren had arrested a few Japanese ronin.

He hadn't even collected his winnings when he rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing the Japanese ronin lying unconscious on the ground, Hu Xingrui's legs went weak.

Now he's really screwed up!

"Open the handcuffs—I order you, open the handcuffs!" Hu Xingrui shouted angrily at Chen Yongren.

"You bastard, you don't even look at who you've caught—Japanese people; how could Japanese be bad here!"

Saying that, Hu Xingrui again bowed and scraped to those Japanese ronin, fawning: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please don't rush; we'll release you right away."

"I'd like to see who dares to release them today!" Chen Yongren did not back down.

The fool Chen Yongren spoke of is none other than this guy.

"Chen Yongren, I think you want to rebel, I am the police chief, I say let them go, then they must be let go!" Opened the leopard, didn't get the money, Hu Xingrui was already very angry.

Seeing Chen Yongren again defy his order, he immediately felt his authority challenged.

"According to the rules, you said you want to maintain Songhu public order, everyone should be treated equally." Chen Yongren deliberately said: "I am acting according to your rules, these four Japanese cannot be released."

"You motherfucker!" Upon hearing this, Hu Xingrui instantly flared up in rage.

"Go to hell! Who gave you the guts to use my words to suppress me!" Hu Xingrui shouted angrily.

"My rules are the rules!"

"What I say, that's how it must be!"

"Chen Yongren, effective immediately, you are suspended from duty and pay; go home and reflect deeply!"

Hu Xingrui quickly walked up to Chen Yongren, snatched the key hanging from his waist, walked over to those few Japanese masterless samurai, and spoke fawningly.

"Sir, don't be anxious, rest assured, I will immediately let you work."

"The key had just been inserted here, and was about to unlock."

Hu Xingrui then heard the sound of a car braking sharply outside, and turned his head to look.

Thirty or forty Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition quickly walked into the police station.

"Chen Yongren, look at what you've done, immediately kneel before them and apologize!"

Hu Xingrui still thought these four masterless samurai were some important figures, and shouted at Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren's heart stirred, he instantly opened his perception, and a mental voice was the first to enter his ear.

"No matter which bastard dares to be adverse to my wife and daughter, I, Fujiwara Jinta, will skin him alive!"
