Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1135 Head of the Investigation Headquarters

Just as everyone was bickering, watching the spectacle, or remaining silent, several Lincoln cars stopped outside the station.

Everyone fell silent.

A large contingent of military police rushed to the station, completely surrounding it.

Then Niu San'er got out of the passenger seat, looked around, and then slowly opened the car door at the back.

"tread!"

The metal fittings at the heels of the military boots struck the floor tiles with a crisp sound.

The traitors and businessmen present all shuddered.

Ren Hong felt that suffocating and powerless feeling from before return, and could only keep encouraging himself in his heart!

Ren Hong, you've been around for a lifetime, what are you being so cowardly about!

The son has already made arrangements for his escape route. If Lin Ze insists on killing him, he can simply run away!

He's over fifty years old, what's there to miss? He should go to Japan and maybe enjoy a few more years of happiness!

Ren Hong had already thought it through. If he were to run away, he couldn't go to a big city like Tokyo. Just like he didn't want to go to Beijing or Tianjin right now, big cities weren't all that great. Comparisons are odious. You could throw a brick there and hit a powerful person. His current wealth wouldn't be enough to compete with them.

If we're going to go somewhere small, my son said Hiroshima is a good place. If that doesn't work, Nagasaki is fine too.

While everyone was having their own thoughts, Lin Ze had already gotten out of the car.

No matter how terrified they were of Lin Ze, everyone had to admit that Commander Lin's appearance was simply too good.

He was very tall, but not like a stick; on the contrary, his proportions were excellent, making him look strong and powerful. His face had clear features, and his two sword-like eyebrows exuded an air of authority without anger. His every move was so coordinated and natural, and he was always at ease.

He walks with his head held high and chest out, sometimes glancing around to both sides, sometimes looking straight ahead, and his cloak flutters slightly in the wind as he swings his arms.

Wherever he went, no one dared to look him in the eye.

Tadamasa Okamura followed two steps behind Hayashi Sawa, behaving quite obediently.

Zhang Guanqun, like an old eunuch, rushed forward in two or three steps, bending almost to the ground, as if performing an acrobatic act.

"Commander Lin, the gentry of Shimen have all arrived. Please give your instructions."

Lin Ze nodded slightly. "Old Zhang, you did a good job. I have no further instructions. Just wait for the arrival of His Excellency's special envoy."

Zhang Guanqun is now somewhat suffering from a syndrome; whenever Lin Ze praises him, he's overjoyed, like a grandson.

So what if he squanders all his wealth!

My life is saved! Not only my life is saved, but my whole family is safe and sound...

Commander Lin is a man of principle. Even though his mansion and property were taken away, he was still given a place to live. He claimed to be ill, which saved him some face. Although it's unknown how long this face can last, he should think about the future first and foremost, just to survive!

With a whistle, the train pulled into the station.

After the car came to a complete stop, the doors opened and a group of soldiers got out and stood on both sides. Then a group of officers came out, the leader of whom was Okamura's military secretary, Aragaki Tomoji.

This guy is relatively young, only in his thirties. He's a graduate of the Army University, with excellent grades, and almost got the Japanese Emperor's sword.

Following Okamura's lead, Okamura didn't treat him badly. Being a colonel at such a young age was enough to make Kitahara Ransuke cry in the toilet.

As soon as he got off the car, Aragaki Tomoji stopped and saluted Lin Ze and Okamura Tadamasa behind him without hesitation.

A gust of wind blew by, and you could hear a pin drop on the platform.

Ren Hong opened his mouth, but felt his throat tighten. He wanted to cough, but he couldn't make a sound.

Then, Tomoji Aragaki bowed slightly at a 30-degree angle and said respectfully, "Commander Hayashi, Commander Okamura asked me to convey his greetings to you. You've worked hard!"

Aragaki's respectful attitude stemmed from the fact that he was a very intelligent man. Having spent so much time at the Army Headquarters, he had figured out who the real boss was. It could be said that, apart from General Okamura, the only person with considerable influence at the Army Headquarters was Hayashi. From the General Staff to the Special Service Department, and then to various government offices outside the Headquarters, there was no place where Hayashi had no say.

On the other hand, it's because Aragaki is a regular at ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants). In ryotei, there are often displays of wealth. No one cares whether you're from the General Staff, the Special Service, or the General's Office. Here, whoever has money is the boss. Whoever has money can have a row of young ladies lighting fireworks and serving him drinks, and then dancing in front of him for a long time.

This feeling of extravagance and debauchery quickly led Aragaki to lose his position, but he didn't have much money, so he needed some friends. These friends might be a businessman who had close ties with Director Niu, or a senior executive of Miyamoto Trading Company.

In short, Okamura Tsutomu's chief military secretary has been completely controlled by Hayashi Ze.

As soon as Aragaki said those words, some Japanese businessmen broke out in a cold sweat. Yano Masahiro of the textile factory turned pale, his eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

Yesterday, Nishimura Shunichi, who was still bragging about his family, was now feeling weak in the knees and his vision was blurring!

Many people looked at Lin Ze, wanting to see his reaction.

Faced with Aragaki's extremely polite, even obsequious, greeting, Lin Ze remained calm, casually raising his hand in a salute, "Thank you for your hard work, Aragaki-kun. Please convey my gratitude for the General's concern."

Some people in the crowd felt their hearts sink to rock bottom.

Some were extremely excited, such as Zhang Guanqun.

The old traitor's heart pounded. "Look, look! I told you so!"

Now that's settled, you bunch of clueless fools, just wait to be dealt with!

If Commander Lin arrests all these guys and takes over their businesses, wouldn't I be able to enjoy some glory for a while if I help Commander Lin?

Judging from how Commander Lin has treated those around him these past two days, he might even reward me with some property if he's in a good mood!

The instinct to be someone's dog took over his mind again, and Zhang Guanqun leaned forward and whispered, "Commander Lin, the reception area is ready. Would you please invite His Excellency the Special Envoy to go and rest?"

Lin Ze nodded.

Unexpectedly, Aragaki Tomoji said, "Wait a moment, I need to announce the General's orders."

Everyone held their breath once again.

Aragaki Tomoji took out a piece of paper, read it aloud in Japanese, and then said, word by word in somewhat broken Chinese: "General Okamura has decided to appoint Colonel Hayashi as the head of the Jizhong Special Case Investigation Headquarters under the Army Group Command! During the investigation, he will not be hindered and will be free to deal with anyone below the rank of general! Anyone who dares to make irresponsible remarks will be severely punished!"

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud was heard, and Ren Hong collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over.
