Chapter 82: Hooked

Hu Xingrui, you bastard, you've taken the bait.

"This..."

Chen Yongren deliberately showed a troubled expression.

He knew very well that if he directly agreed, that scoundrel Hu Xingrui would surely suspect a trick.

"Brother, I know what you're worried about." Seeing Chen Yongren hesitate, Hu Xingrui said cautiously: "The Japanese have increased personnel at the police station."

"If you want to handle it yourself, you might not rescue the person and could get yourself caught."

Chen Yongren's eyes wavered a little.

Seeing that, Hu Xingrui knew there was hope, spread his hands, and feigned helplessness: "Brother, I've given you the method; how exactly to do it is up to your choice."

"If I give you the address, what if you turn around and sell me out?" Chen Yongren pointed his gun at Hu Xingrui and said coldly.

Hu Xingrui squeezed out a grin uglier than crying and said: "I'm also a patriot; working for the Japanese is something I was forced into."

"I've always wanted to contribute to the anti-Japanese cause, but I just have no opportunity."

"Of course, brother, if you don't trust me, then we'll pretend we never met."

Saying that with his mouth, Hu Xingrui's heart was thinking something else.

"If I don't first steady you, how can I report to the locust army?"

"Little master just fears you won't go report to the Japanese," Chen Yongren pretended to ponder.

Hu Xingrui dared not speak, cautiously looking at Chen Yongren, not daring to take a breath, afraid he'd be shot dead.

After a while, Chen Yongren muttered.

"Good!"

"Then I'll tentatively trust you; if you dare play tricks,"

"don't blame me for this gun not recognizing anyone!"

"Don't worry, I'm heading back to the police station now…" Hu Xingrui hastily clasped his fist, reaching for the clothes on the bed.

"What are you trying to do!" Chen Yongren stepped back, pointing his gun at Hu Xingrui, feigning vigilance.

"Don't be nervous, brother!" Hu Xingrui quickly raised both hands, smiling as he spoke.

"I just want to put on clothes; you can't let me go out naked, can you?"

"Don't move!" Chen Yongren slowly picked up his uniform and examined it carefully.

In fact, as soon as he entered the room, Chen Yongren had used his "all‑concentrating" clairvoyance to carefully inspect the outfit.

Now he's merely taking the opportunity to pull off the buttons on his clothes and then slap a black pot on him.

Damn it, you sure have a lot of tricks, Hu Xingrui thought to himself, his face still keeping a smile for Sharp.

But this also made Hu Xingrui feel that the person before him was a ruthless character who licks blood from the blade.

Otherwise, how could he be so vigilant?

Damn it.

If I can catch him, I'll achieve great merit.

Even if I can't become bureau chief, I could still get a district chief position.

Then I'll be able to rake in money big time; in all of Songhu, who would dare provoke me?

Hu Xingrui was daydreaming about promotion and wealth when Chen Yongren finished checking the clothes and tossed them to him.

He threw down one sentence.

"No. 5 Beijinzhou Road, I'll be waiting for you there." Chen Yongren then jumped out the window.

"Brother, take care, we'll see each other later!" Hu Xingrui rushed to the window and took a careful look around.

After confirming Chen Yongren had left, he finally returned to the bedside and let out a long sigh.

"No way, I have to hurry and report this news to the Sir!" Hu Xingrui hastily changed his clothes.

The woman also jolted awake, turned to Hu Xingrui and gritted her teeth: "You must let the Japanese give him a thorough beating!"

"He still dares point a gun at me; I'll take off his gun barrel and soak it in liquor to drink!"

"If you don't take care of him, don't even think about getting into my bed again!"

"Little sweetheart, you've been wronged!" Hu Xingrui smiled, rubbed her cheek, and coaxed her.

"Believe me, I'll definitely make sure he doesn't survive tonight!"

"Once I have the Japanese catch him, I'll also let you whip him twice to vent your anger!"

"By then you'll be the chief's wife!"

After Hu Xingrui finished changing clothes, he kissed her cheek again, then pushed the door open and left.

"Chief's wife, what a lovely title." The woman lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and dreamed of being the chief's wife.

Suddenly she heard something stirring near her ear.

The woman's eyes flew open, and she saw that it was Chen Yongren, who had just left.

"Hello, chief's wife, we meet again." Chen Yongren wore a gentle expression.

But the woman shuddered with fright, about to shout.

Chen Yongren lifted the blanket beside her and covered her head.

If he strangled her neck, it would leave handprints, so he directly smothered her with the blanket—a method that leaves no trace, which was most suitable.

"Wu…wu…wu…"

The woman flailed with her hands and feet, struggling desperately.

But in Chen Yongren's grip, she was like a scrawny little chick—everything was in vain.

Soon after, the woman's body went limp, completely still.

Not even her inner voice could be heard.

It's definitely cold.

Chen Yongren will, after stuffing the button from Hu Xingrui's clothing into the woman's hand, leave the room.

As long as this woman dies, and with those secret letters added, Hu Xingrui will be unable to defend himself no matter how many mouths he has.

Earn merit?

The only person who heard their conversation is dead; who knows what you actually talked about?

At this moment.

Hu Xingrui didn't realize he had already stepped one foot into the pit.

After returning to the police station, he immediately found a Riben spy and said he had obtained information about the anti-Japanese elements' hideout.

The Riben spy, upon hearing this, did not dare to be negligent and immediately reported the matter to Gao Liu Xiuji.

As soon as he heard that the voice on the other end of the phone said it was news obtained by Hu Xingrui,

Gao Liu Xiuji expressed doubt about this.

After all.

This idiot, seeking credit, almost beat Pinglu Yilang to death.

But upon further thought, since this matter is related to the anti-Japanese elements, Gao Liu Xiuji also dared not take it lightly.

After Gao Liu Xiuji hung up the phone, he then dialed Tengyuan Jintai's number to report the matter.

Upon hearing this, Tengyuan Jintai immediately decided to personally go to the police station.

Upon hearing this, Gao Liu Xiuji immediately said he would arrive shortly.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Liu Xiuji apologetically said to his wife on the bed, "Meijinzi, sorry, I may not be able to accompany you tonight."

"Mmm..." Gao Liu Meijinzi's green eyes flickered, she suppressed her inner disappointment: "It's fine, Xiuji jun, go ahead and get busy first, I'm fine..."

It's been several months; the hard-won opportunity is gone again.

Forget it.

Xiuji jun was wounded in the war; he indeed should be allowed to rest and recover first.

"Meijinzi, you're really so understanding." Gao Liu Xiuji endured his inner agitation.

"Xiuji jun, you said you'd find me a Chinese teacher—how's that arrangement going?" Gao Liu Meijinzi asked, taking the opportunity.

"You're busy with work every day, you have no time to keep me company; I want to learn Chinese quickly so I can also go out and have a look."

"Don't worry, after I finish these things, I'll help you find an excellent Chinese teacher." Gao Liu Xiuji laughed and said: "Meijinzi, rest early, I'm leaving first!"

"Mmm!" Gao Liu Meijinzi nodded.

Reluctantly glancing at his beloved wife on the bed, Gao Liu Xiuji

If that idiot Hu Xingrui dares to deceive me, I will definitely skin him myself!

Gao Liu Xiuji quickly left the room and took a car to the police station.
