Chapter 73: Didn't expect that!

Upon hearing this, Teng Yuan Youzi felt delighted.

Learn Japanese?

Doesn't this mean we'll be able to meet often from now on?

"Of course, Chen Sang!" Teng Yuan Youzi said without hesitation: "However, Chen Sang, if you want to learn Japanese well in the future, you need to interact with Japanese people often."

The implication of these words is already obvious.

"In that case, then I'll trouble you, Miss Youzi." Chen Yongren said with a smile.

Knowing what this young woman was thinking, Chen Yongren didn't mind going along with it.

"Chen Sang, why did you suddenly want to learn Japanese?" Teng Yuan Youzi asked curiously.

Because I already know Japanese, having you as a shield, speaking Japanese later won't seem abrupt. Chen Yongren put on an act, showing a troubled expression as he spoke.

"Because I didn't let those Japanese ronin go, I offended the chief."

"I was thinking, if I can't stay at the police station, knowing another language would make it easy to find work in Songhu."

The feud between Chen Yongren and Chief Hu Xingrui wasn't just a matter of a day or two.

Everyone at the police station can attest to this.

Even if Teng Yuan Jintai wanted to investigate, Chen Yongren wouldn't be afraid.

"Chen Sang, if you lose your job, I will definitely ask my father to find a way to arrange a respectable position for you." Teng Yuan Youzi said earnestly.

All I need is your words; although Teng Yuan Youzi brought it up herself, Chen Yongren knows he must not be impatient now.

Otherwise, it would surely arouse Teng Yuan Jintai's suspicion, making him think Chen Yongren had ulterior motives.

Chen Yongren smiled: "A lovely girl like Miss Youzi surely has a kind heart as well."

"However, Miss Youzi treating me to a meal is already a great honor for me; how could I continue to trouble your father over such trivial matters?"

"I will rely on my own efforts to resolve these troubles."

Chen Yongren believed that when Teng Yuan Youzi went home, she would most likely tell these words to that old devil Teng Yuan Jintai.

"Chen Sang, keep it up, Youzi believes in you." Teng Yuan Youzi made an encouraging gesture, sniffing the aroma of the food.

The broth in the sukiyaki pot kept churning.

To thank Chen Yongren, Teng Yuan Youzi practically asked for nothing but beef in this full pot.

"Chen Sang, the meat in the pot is ready, go ahead and try a piece!" Teng Yuan Youzi said.

In her heart she thought: "If only Chen Sang would feed me a bite of meat."

"No, Miss Youzi, the first bite of meat should be yours." Chen Yongren picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a slice of beef, lightly flicked his wrist, and the long beef wrapped around the chopsticks,

Chen Yongren then brought it to his lips to blow on it, and only then did he bring the meat to Teng Yuan Youzi's lips.

Dealing with such a love-struck young girl, Chen Yongren knew this inside out; moreover, now he could even know what she was thinking.

Anyway, sooner or later I'll have to kill her father; what's the harm in deceiving her feelings for now?

"Huh?" Teng Yuan Youzi froze.

Looking at the meat right before her eyes, Teng Yuan Youzi's heart pounded wildly.

Just a casual thought of mine, and it actually came true?

"Can I, Youzi?" Chen Yongren dropped the honorific.

"Youzi?"

Hearing this intimate address, Teng Yuan Youzi's heart beat faster, her breathing also becoming somewhat hurried.

This is still the first boy who calls me Youzi without making me feel annoyed.

"Mm!" Teng Yuan Youzi blushed and nodded, her pink, moist lips slightly parting.

She took in…

The steaming beef slice, coated in broth, on the chopsticks, her nimble tongue lightly flicked it, and her teeth gently chewed the meat.

Feeling the broth burst in her mouth, Teng Yuan Youzi showed a happy expression: "Chen Sang, it's really delicious, you should try some too!"

Chen Yongren no longer held back, likewise picking up a slice of meat and putting it in his mouth to eat.

Seeing this, Teng Yuan Youzi's face flushed.

……

Fujiwara Villa.

Teng Yuan Jintai was seriously reviewing Chen Yongren's résumé.

A person from Suzhou.

In his early years, his parents died suddenly from infection with the Huliela virus; after missing several years of experience, he subsequently enrolled at the Zhejiang-Shanghai Police Academy.

Not long after that, due to the outbreak of the Songhu Battle,

the police force in the Songhu region was insufficient, so he was graduated early and assigned to the Songhu City Police Station to maintain public order.

Chen Yongren's file records are somewhat incomplete, the content not whole.

This is also quite normal.

Chen Yongren is just an ordinary person; if every detail of his life from childhood were recorded, that would truly be problematic.

Teng Yuan Jintai does not believe that the National Government's household registration officials would have such execution ability and sense of responsibility.

It is also because of this that Teng Yuan Jintai is certain that Chen Yongren's identity is fine.

Even the file of Zhang Haifeng, who patrolled together with Chen Yongren, Teng Yuan Jintai did not overlook.

The basic content is not much different from Chen Yongren's; both graduated from the Zhejiang-Shanghai Police Academy and were transferred to Songhu to serve as police officers.

This point, Teng Yuan Jintai specifically called the school to verify, and it indeed was the case.

Those four Japanese ronin were the same.

They were native-born Japanese; just drunk, they saw a woman and had lustful thoughts; when the patrolling Chen Yongren encountered this, he stepped in to help—it was just that coincidental and simple.

The ronin's injuries have also been examined; Chen Yongren used only the techniques of the police academy, lacking the skills used by troops and special agents.

These few Japanese ronin also received the punishment they deserved; they just need to be careful in their next life.

As far as we can see now, Chen Yongren's identity poses no problem.

Tengyuan Jintai took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose to ease his emotions.

However, Youzi is currently asking that kid to have a meal.

Once Youzi returns, we can ask them what they talked about.

The old devil knows his daughter is kind-hearted; even when he accidentally steps on a bug, he will cry for a long time.

Chen Yongren rescued her; it's natural for the daughter to want to thank him, and Tengyuan Jintai didn't think too much about it.

In terms of intelligence, Tengyuan Jintai is very capable, but regarding women's hearts.

He really is not capable.

In every sense.

The Nationalist army suffered defeat in the Songhu battle; they will surely send agents to lurk here, so we must be vigilant and prepared to respond.

"Jintai..." Tengyuan Linai changed into a nightgown, holding a bowl of dark herbal decoction, walked in: "Time to take the medicine."

Looking at his wife's alluring figure, and with Youzi absent, Tengyuan Jintai instantly felt energized, waving his hand and saying: 'Linai, come over quickly!'

Tengyuan Linai blushed and smiled, walking to his side.

Tengyuan Jintai took the medicine bowl and drank it all at once; shortly after, he felt a surge of heat in his abdomen and forcefully pushed Tengyuan Linai onto the table.

A few breaths.

"Hiss~" Tengyuan Jintai let out a long sigh, apologetically saying: "Sorry, Linai, I've been really tired lately."

"From now on, I will definitely make it up to you."

Tengyuan Linai shook her head, speaking softly: 'It's fine, Jintai, you're already impressive like this.'

She inexplicably recalled the image of those few ronin being knocked to the ground in just a few moves.

Tengyuan Jintai was about to continue saying something when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

The phone was connected.

Tengyuan Jintai suddenly stood up and roared into the phone.

"What?"

"The warehouse was blown up?"

"How is that possible!"

"Who did it!"
