Chapter 709: Grand Finale

"Oh?" Chen Yongren immediately became interested.

Ding Mo hurriedly said: "I suspect these guys have an important mission; we interrogated them continuously for three days, but this bunch is tight-lipped—we couldn't get any information out of them."

Through observation, Chen Yongren also knew this guy wasn't lying.

What else did Dai Lao Ban have them do?

Being able to hold out for three days without talking, they're indeed three tough guys; if there's a chance, trying to rescue them wouldn't hurt.

Ding Mo's cooperation also saved Chen Yongren a lot of effort.

Seeing Chen Yongren silent, Ding Mo felt a surge of joy and tentatively said: "Brother, my lowly life—how could it compare to theirs being precious?"

"As long as you say the word, I'll find a way to rescue them all; if you don't trust me, you can also come with me to the prison."

"Go to hell, do you really think I'm stupid?" Chen Yongren pressed the gun barrel hard against Ding Mo's head and said coldly: "Going to prison with you would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den—by then, even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't."

"No, no, brother, I absolutely have no such thoughts; I simply want to contribute my own effort to the great cause of the War of Resistance!" Ding Mo hastily raised both hands, afraid to make any move that might cause Chen Yongren to misunderstand.

"Brother, think about it: if you kill me, the Japanese will just send someone else to take over; but if I serve as your insider, everything will be much easier."

Chen Yongren continued to feign hesitation.

Ding Mo raised both hands, his heart pounding with anxiety: "Brother, could you move the gun farther away? I'm scared."

"Cut the crap." Chen Yongren said coldly: "What makes you think I should believe you, just because you can talk smoothly?"

Chen Yongren knew very well that this dog traitor Ding Mo desperately wanted to live; otherwise he would have already shouted loudly, drawing people in to beat him to death as a burial companion.

But…

Even if Ding Mo wanted to do that, he lacks the ability.

Ding Mo, anxious to the point of tears, said: "Then what do you want me to do for you to believe me?"

Thinking of Ze Tian Mao, that bastard, always trying to use him to control the 76th, Chen Yongren's heart stirred and he instantly had an idea.

Since the old devil wants to use him, why can't he turn the tables and use it instead?

Using the conflict between the Japanese and the 76th to do this, then eliminate Li Qun's followers, and finally bring the 76th completely under their own control.

By the way, they could also use this bastard Ding Mo to stay informed about Ze Tian Mao's movements.

That would be killing three birds with one stone.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yongren said: "I can believe you—first write me a surrender letter."

Ding Mo dared not delay; under Chen Yongren's guidance, he obediently went to the desk, quickly wrote a surrender letter, signed his name, and stamped his fingerprint.

"Sir, here you go." Ding Mo respectfully handed the confession letter to Chen Yongren.

"Very good." Chen Yongren then said: "Now I still need you to help me kill someone."

"Who?" Ding Mo rubbed his hands and asked: "Don't talk about killing just one person—even a hundred or a thousand would be no problem."

Chen Yongren gave a cold laugh and lightly said a name: "Li Qun."

Ding Mo shrank his head and quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm just eager to serve you."

Chen Yongren gave a cold laugh and lightly said a name: "Li Qun."

"I thought it was someone else—turns out it's Li Qun." Ding Mo first chuckled, then exclaimed in surprise: "What, Li Qun?"

"Li Qun is also a major traitor; since you want to return to the party's embrace, you naturally need to present a token of allegiance—otherwise, why should we trust you?" Chen Yongren laughed.

"Fine, no problem!" Ding Mo gritted his teeth: "I'll call him out right now and then take him out."

"No, you must call Ze Tian Mao right now." Chen Yongren looked at the phone on the table and said.

"Huh?" Ding Mo looked bewildered.

Chen Yongren then taught Ding Mo how to fool Ze Tian Mao.

Seeing the gun in Chen Yongren's hand, Ding Mo dared not entertain the slightest thought of defiance; he honestly made a phone call to Ze Tian Mao.

When Ze Tian Mao received Ding Mo's call late at night, he was initially surprised, but upon hearing Ding Mo say that he was dissatisfied because Li Qun wanted to use his people to take the blame and had constantly been stepping on him, he instantly became interested.

Especially when he heard Ding Mo say that not only could they pin the explosion case's black pot on Li Qun's head, but also the smuggling black pot, giving Yuan Chief a reply.

Ze Tian Mao only considered it for a few seconds before immediately agreeing to Ding Mo's suggestion.

The two agreed to arrange a meeting with Li Qun at the command headquarters tomorrow for a meal, and then take the opportunity to eliminate him.

"Chief Commander, Ze Tian… the old devil Ze Tian has agreed to our suggestion." Ding Mo hung up the phone and hurriedly told Chen Yongren.

"Very good." Chen Yongren smiled: "Then call Li Qun again and tell him the Japanese want to treat you to a meal."

"Yes!" Ding Mo immediately placed another call to Li Qun.

"What important matter do you have that you must call me now?" Li Qun said in an irritated tone.

"Since we're not at the 76th right now, Li Qun also couldn't be bothered to give Ding Mo any face."

"Ze Tian Mao invited us to have lunch tomorrow at the military department; I need to call you to let you know." Ding Mo cursed a bastard in his heart, but spoke honestly.

"A meal?" Li Qun said in a strange tone: "It just sold us out, and now it's inviting us to a meal—there's surely nothing good coming from it."

Although he said that, Li Qun already despised the stormy waves in his heart.

Could it be that the Japanese intend to strike at me?

Damn, things have gone bad—the Japanese finally can't hold back.

Li Qun is no fool; he clearly sees that the Japanese want to take the opportunity to get rid of him.

"What else can we do? The Japanese are giving face, so I can't just refuse." Ding Mo said: "Why don't you call the Japanese?"

"Damn it..." Li Qun couldn't help cursing, but Ding Mo's remark was reasonable, so he could only reluctantly say: "Alright, I got it."

After saying that, it hung up the phone impatiently.

Ding Mo also hung up, exhaled deeply, and said: "No problem."

The Japanese will surely try every means to kill Li Qun tomorrow; Chen Yongren told Ding Mo: "Change your clothes, come with me outside, and see me off."

Ding Mo also didn't dare delay; he immediately complied, seeing Chen Yongren out of the gate.

Returning to the hotel, Chen Yongren immediately sent a telegram to Boss Dai, briefly outlining his plan.

The boss received the telegram, quickly responded, and agreed with Chen Yongren's suggestion.

The next day at noon.

Li Qun and Ding Mo arrived at the military headquarters' restaurant as agreed.

Zetian Mao had already prepared the meal; seeing them enter, he immediately said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Ding, you're here, please sit down."

Li Qun glanced at the dishes under the table, and his heart sank.

They were all dishes he liked, but it was over—he couldn't eat a single bite.

Li Qun forced himself to sit down, and Ding Mo also put on a look of scratching his ears and cheeks.

It seemed as if it were crawling it, overthinking, and Zetian Mao also helped himself to a few dishes.

Li Qun only dared to eat the dishes that Zetian Mao had already eaten, but he also dared not eat more.

"Chief Zetian, what exactly did you summon us for?" Li Qun asked cautiously.

Zetian Mao acted as if he hadn't heard: "Li Qun, don't just eat vegetables, drink some more wine."

Having said that, an orderly beside Li Qun held a bottle of opened red wine and poured him a glass.

"Li Qun, this is your favorite red wine; quickly taste it to see if the flavor has changed," Zetian Mao said with a smile.

"Chief Zetian, thank you for the trouble," Li Qun forced a smile, helplessly raised the cup, and cautiously took a small sip.

Just this small sip, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

But it was exactly this small sip that directly took Li Qun's life.

Not long after drinking that small sip, Li Qun's face changed, he then clutched his throat, then spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed at Zetian Mao, and died on the spot.

On the day Li Qun died suddenly.

Zetian Mao immediately immediately called to notify Chen Yongren, putting the blame for the bombing mastermind and smuggling etc. entirely on Li Qun's head.

Chen Yongren also deliberately put on an angry look, then immediately began to clear out Li Qun's remnants, once again killing everyone up and down in Unit 76.

Zetian Mao also got what he wanted and took control of Unit 76.

But this was merely what the old devil imagined; Ding Mo had already defected to Chen Yongren in secret.

The boss then took advantage of Unit 76 being short-staffed, successively arranging his own people into Unit 76 to monitor Ding Mo while also better completing his own mission.

The several agents previously captured were also successfully rescued, and using a smuggling ship they were smoothly transferred out of Songhu.

Zetian Mao originally thought that by using Li Qun and others' heads to let Chen Yongren score some merits, he could make him leave Songhu.

But the facts proved that Zetian Mao had overthought it.

Chen Yongren's next target was it.

After Ding Mo won Zetian Mao's trust, he quickly began helping Zetian Mao with some private tasks, and these shady tasks were all backed up and filed by Ding Mo, then submitted to Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren also used these documents to successfully impeach Zetian Mao.

Upon arriving in Songhu and achieving new merits, Chen Yongren's performance pleased the headquarters greatly.

And while Chen Yongren was purging internal corrupt elements, he used the information provided by Ding Mo to begin naming the traitors in Songhu.

Just before leaving Songhu, Chen Yongren also brought out the three-person team.

Although Yuan Chief and Chen Yongren looked alike, the three-person team thought they were only two people.

Chen Yongren also carefully switched identities, dealing with these three women.

Furthermore, after gradually placing his own people in all departments of Songhu, he also eradicated the Japanese gangs, took control of the various companies plundering Chinese capital, and only then left Songhu to patrol the battlefields along the railway.

Wherever Chen Yongren's Special Investigation Unit went, there was nothing but chaos and panic; the Japanese military internally both feared and respected him.

This patrol took Chen Yongren about half a year.

During this period, Gangcun Ningci finally could not hold back and launched a large-scale sweep.

However, thanks to the intelligence Chen Yongren had prepared in advance, the losses of the Eighth Route Army in North China were greatly mitigated.

Chen Yongren also occasionally sneaked back to Northern Peace to dig pits and set traps for Gangcun Ningci this old devil, intending to deal with him upon returning.

Just before returning to Northern Peace.

Chen Yongren also took a ship to Japan, and using the identity of Tengyuan Youzi, he eradicated the remnants of the Tengyuan family, taking their assets into his own possession.

Incidentally, he also used his own forgery skills to wreck Japan's domestic economy.

The counterfeit money case caused a huge stir in Japan; Japan repeatedly improved its currency, but could not fundamentally change the situation of rampant counterfeit money.

Chen Yongren also took the opportunity to use his available funds to plunder large amounts of light assets and land in Japan, placing his own people in every industry.

He also became more cautious, not using Yuan Chief's identity but rather an unverifiable false identity.

Finally, Chen Yongren still managed to step forward, developing a new currency production formula, and successfully obtained Japan's minting rights.

The four Japanese princely houses with the right to inherit the throne were also torn apart by Chen Yongren.

Although it was only a few short months, Chen Yongren had tossed Japan about enough to be arrogant.

But the Japanese did not see it that way, regarding Chen Yongren as a savior who rescued Japan's economy, and feeling grateful and devoted to him.

The following spring, Chen Yongren and Jingxiang finally returned to Northern Peace.

Gangcun Ningci this old devil, giving face, personally came to welcome him, not knowing that Chen Yongren's next target was it.

On the night the banquet ended, Chen Yongren privately met with Anda ershisan and outlined his plan.

Upon learning what Chen Yongren wanted to do, the old devil Anda was greatly shocked.

"Uncle Anda, you can see what the Younger Brother Country's military is like now; we are now fighting on multiple fronts…" Chen Yongren hinted.

"What do you want to say?" Anda ershisan immediately understood Chen Yongren's hint: "We might lose this war?"

"Chief, no matter where you heard this news, it must never be mentioned in front of outsiders; do you understand my meaning?"

"This is not just me; some smart people inside have already considered this, uncle, I think you must have guessed this as well." Chen Yongren said: "Even if we don't consider ourselves, we also have to think about Miss Zuozuomu; don't you want to marry her?"

"There is an old saying in Huaxia: prepare for the rain before it comes; if we make preparations early, we can also be absolved early, avoiding punishment when that day arrives."

Hearing this, Anda ershisan felt somewhat moved; after hesitating a moment, he nodded and agreed with Chen Yongren's suggestion.

That evening.

The next day, an anonymous complaint letter appeared on Chen Yongren's desk.

The content was also simple, namely reporting how Okamura Ningci abused his position for personal gain and other offenses.

Okamura Ningci was so angry his nose was almost crooked, and he loudly declared that he was upright and had nothing to fear, inviting Chen Yongren to investigate him at will.

The fatty meat delivered to his mouth, Chen Yongren naturally did not let it go.

All the evidence had long been ready; when Chen Yongren followed the clues and uncovered Okamura Ningci's secret account, this old devil was also dumbfounded.

When did I ever have such a bank account?

And following the bank account, the things Chen Yongren dug up grew more and more; he also arrested many people, and under Chen Yongren's direction, all accusations pointed toward Okamura Ningci.

This matter caused an uproar throughout the city, all the evidence was solid, and Okamura Ningci was thus removed from office and investigated; in the end, he fled the country by ship in disgrace to accept punishment.

But that ship, however, encountered a storm midway, and the entire crew went missing.

Day after day, year after year.

Chen Yongren also began preparing for the end of the war.

Not only Japan.

With the help of that Diane in Germany, Chen Yongren also gathered many physics experts from within Germany, secretly sending them to Yancheng.

This was also a small gift Chen Yongren prepared for Huaxia before the withdrawal, sufficient to support the nation's development.

Grace also helped Chen Yongren obtain a Meiguo identity, and with the help of Xia Lin, he also obtained a Yingguo identity.

Chen Yongren used the two as a shield, began purchasing large tracts of land in the two countries, investing in many companies, and accumulating wealth belonging to himself.

Furthermore, he began to cultivate in the two countries an absolutely loyal network of contacts, infiltrating all sectors of both nations.

Hua Lei, Zhang Haifeng also began helping Chen Yongren manage operations in various countries.

Besides making money, Chen Yongren also began extensively searching for national treasures lost overseas.

Chen Yongren also managed to, in a single night, take away the records of antiquities from the museums of the Great Eagle, Meiguo, and Faguo, becoming the biggest mystery in world history.

Time finally came to the day of Riben's surrender.

That day, the whole nation celebrated.

Chen Yongren and Chen Yongyi met for the last time, then mysteriously disappeared.

Lin Ke Xin also mysteriously vanished from the world, no one knowing where they went, and Chen Yongren's true identity was also sealed by the National Government, never to be decrypted.

But the world now had one more, a mysterious big crocodile with investments in all countries.

Forty years later.

Chen Yongren concealed his identity, donating to Huaxia the twelve copper heads lost overseas for many years, as well as other lost overseas artifacts.

The authorities outwardly claimed that these were all intentional replicas made to commemorate the humiliation of a hundred years ago, warning the populace to retrieve all lost cultural relics!

This sentence also made the countries of the world shake twice.

After donating the artifacts, Chen Yongren again began large-scale investment domestically, directly bringing Huaxia's economy to an entirely new height.

Whether technology or economy, all developed rapidly, entering a soaring mode, with national strength growing day by day.

Chen Yongren's assets also reached a new height, yet no one knew his true identity.

Someone did the statistics: the companies in the Global 500 are either his assets or industries he has invested in.

Many people wanted to probe his identity, but no one ever truly succeeded.

One can only refer to him as "he".

Someone tallied his assets, with rumors that the money in his hands could buy ten Meiguo.

No, it should be buying the whole world.

The top Yingjiang president basically had no qualifications to see him.

Even whether someone becomes president, they must first get his nod.

The heart of the world economy, an angel investor, and titles such as the greatest investment talent in history struggle to describe his existence.

He also left in the world a sentence extremely arrogant yet truly deserved.

I am the king of the world!
