Chapter 705

Takeda Shigeya never expected that, not long after hanging up the call with headquarters, Chen Yongren came early in the morning to inquire about the investigation.

Are you that impatient?

But it's obvious this isn't a coincidence; if not for having given headquarters prior notice, the Yuan Chief couldn't possibly come early in the morning to demand accountability.

Takeda Shigeya muttered to himself.

"Commander Takeda, what's the problem? Why A Ren't you speaking? Has your investigation made no progress at all?" Chen Yongren's voice turned cold.

Hearing Chen Yongren's slightly reproachful tone, Takeda Shigeya's nose almost twisted with anger, but due to his position he could only patiently explain: "Chief Director Sir, actually the investigators already have a result; I just didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't inform you right away."

"Oh? What result?" Chen Yongren feigned surprise.

He really wanted to see what lie this old devil Takeda could fabricate.

"We've found out that yesterday a service staff member secretly placed a bomb in the venue." Takeda Shigeya said in a muffled voice.

This matter would be revealed with a little inquiry, so Chen Yongren wasn't surprised either, but the little devils never imagined that thing was just a scapegoat.

"And then?" Chen Yongren asked again.

Takeda Shigeya clearly knew these answers wouldn't satisfy the Yuan Chief's appetite, and added: "We've basically confirmed that the leak source is Site 76; the personnel involved have all been arrested by us, and we believe we'll soon get the results."

"Site 76?" Chen Yongren feigned anger, cursing: "Where are those bastards? I want to interrogate them myself!"

Damn it, Site 76—this is obviously Takeda Shigeya trying to make Site 76 take the fall.

Since Takeda Shigeya voluntarily offered a knife, Chen Yongren naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony; this is a good opportunity—he must not hesitate to chop off a few bastards' heads, and meanwhile earn extra rewards.

Chen Yongren's words surprised Takeda Shigeya a bit, but it was understandable.

Site 76 was originally just a casual excuse made up by Takeda Shigeya, but once the word is out, it can't be taken back.

Anyway, the information leak case is murky; no one can say exactly who leaked it, so we might as well first make the Site 76 people suffer—after all, keeping them around is only for using them as locust army lackeys, and they occasionally have to take the blame for the locust army.

First let the Yuan Chief this grandpa calm down, then we can talk; this also gives headquarters an explanation.

"No problem, Chief Director Sir, I'll arrange people to protect your safety right away." Takeda Shigeya knew the Yuan Chief wouldn't agree, but he still politely asked.

When it's time to act, one must still put on a good show.

"No need, I have my own guard detail; for now you don't have to worry, Commander Takeda." Chen Yongren refused outright and hung up after saying that.

Jingxiang also woke up just then, rubbing her eyes and saying: "Chief, are you going out?"

Chen Yongren turned at the sound, nodding to Jingxiang and saying: "I have some business, need to go out; if you're bored, you can go out shopping—I'll assign people to protect your safety, Songhu has plenty of fun places."

"Mmm!" Jingxiang nodded obediently, knowing Chen Yongren had work to attend to, so she didn't ask further.

Jingxiang thoughtfully changed Chen Yongren's clothes for him.

Only then did Chen Yongren push open the door.

Zhongyuan Shen and Anteng Zhongsi were standing at the doorway; seeing Chen Yongren come out, they immediately stood at attention and bowed: "Chief Commander!"

"Anteng Jun, get ready, come with me to Site 76!" Chen Yongren said coldly.

"Site 76?"

Although Anteng Zhongsi found it strange, he still went to prepare; after finishing the relevant arrangements, Chen Yongren drove by car toward Site 76 Jisi Feier Road.

The Special Investigation Team's over a hundred Japanese soldiers followed on both sides of the carriage, protecting the vehicle's safety.

Such a grand spectacle also made the townspeople on both sides of the street avoid it as best they could.

Anteng Zhongsi served as driver, while Zhongyuan Shen sat in the front.

Chen Yongren sat in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I last went to Site 76; back when I was an advisor there, I often caused trouble for the dog agents inside, never expecting that one day I would return in the guise of a Japanese.

Upon further thought, it's also quite interesting.

Thinking of Li Qun and Ding Mo, those two dog things, Chen Yongren felt a flash of killing intent.

Previously, those two dog things, constrained by Chen Yongren's advisory role and Fujiwara Kondata's favored status, basically just shrank their heads like turtles, turning a deaf ear to Site 76's affairs.

Either they were out on business trips, or on the way to them; in short, they kept finding excuses not to meet, and both sides maintained a delicate balance.

Regarding their voluntary avoidance, Chen Yongren didn't mind, nor did he feel like proactively provoking them.

But now.

His status is now more noble than before, and he holds more authority; Chen Yongren naturally ought to deal with them properly.

By normal reckoning, those two dog things won't live much longer either, and Chen Yongren doesn't mind stepping on the accelerator for them.

Soon.

Chen Yongren's party soon arrived at the gate of Site 76.

Looking at the familiar scene outside the car window, Chen Yongren felt many emotions.

Back then I often drove tanks here—damn that Site 76!

Through the heavenly-eye map, Chen Yongren also discovered that Site 76's open and hidden posts were clearly more numerous than before, and the walls had undergone another round of renovation.

Seeing the horde of ferocious Japanese soldiers surrounding Site 76, the few Site 76 dog agents on guard at the gate were startled, each trembling and daring not to take a breath.

Who has come?

What's with this huge commotion?

Looking at their bewildered faces, it's obvious that old devil Takeda Shigeya simply sold them out.

Zhongyuan Shen and Anteng Zhongsi both got out of the car; one stood guard by the car door, the other opened the door and respectfully said to Chen Yongren in the vehicle: "Chief Commander, we have arrived."

Only then did Chen Yongren arrogantly nod, step out under the guard's protection, walk to the gate of Site 76, look around, and not conceal the disgust in his eyes at all.

"Taikun, taikun." A guard plucked up courage, ran up to Chen Yongren, and bowed with nodding and scraping.

Chen Yongren, however, couldn't be bothered to look at them properly, gave a cold snort, and strode arrogantly toward the interior.

"You guys, get lost and work!" Zhongyuan Shen shoved them away, speaking in awkward Chinese.

"Zhongyuan Jun, be a bit friendlier, don't be so rough." Chen Yongren smiled at Zhongyuan Shen.

"Hai!" Zhongyuan Shen stood at attention and replied.

"Loyal Officer, arrange a squad member to take over the guard duty of No. 76, organize the list of personnel on leave, have them return immediately for investigation; all personnel related to the leak must not be allowed to leave before they can prove their innocence!" Chen Yongren said to Zhongyuan Shen, giving orders in an orderly manner.

"Yes!" Zhongyuan Shen stood up to accept the order, immediately arranged a squad to take over the external guard duty of No. 76, then arranged personnel to concentrate and supervise those who were replaced.

Thinking back to when we were in Beiping, even a proper little general from the Younger Brother Country didn't even take it seriously, let alone this bunch of dog spies from No. 76.
