Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 483: 182, the cunning and strategic Chen Shanhe!_2

Such a puppet is very hard to find, even with a lantern.

Moreover, although Ichiro Toyota found Chen Shanhe to assist him in seizing the throne of Japan, objectively and subjectively, it was Chen Shanhe who helped him.

Chen Shanhe has not forgotten this debt of gratitude.

In fact, if everything had gone smoothly and he had found an opportunity to eliminate Lin Mo two years ago, Chen Shanhe wouldn’t have coveted the status and power in Japan and would have sought a way to return to Grand Xia.

As a nation with thousands of years of heritage, Grand Xia possessed a magical lure that constantly attracted its children abroad back into its embrace.

And the older one got, the stronger this attraction became.

“All right, I understand, Chen Sang, you also take care of your safety.” Ichiro Toyota nodded heavily.

Chen Shanhe didn’t speak further, stepped out of the car, and watched as the motorcade disappeared around the corner of the street.

At this moment, Chen Ze and Qian Sheng, and his other confidants gathered around, bombarding Chen Shanhe with questions about his next steps.

Although they did not know the full scope of the situation, they could all feel an immense pressure looming over their heads.

“Next, I’m going to America.”

With firm steps, Chen Shanhe walked towards the manor, commanding, “Summon the captains of the Wind, Forest, Volcano, Mountain teams to see me.”

“I have important tasks to assign to them.”

“Yes!” Qian Sheng nodded earnestly and took out his cellphone to contact the leaders of the four squads.

During the years in Japan, Chen Shanhe appeared idle on the surface, but in reality, he never stopped expanding his power base.

Compared to the peak of his influence in Rakshasa City where he established the Hive organization, the organization he had now established in Japan was many times stronger.

Passing through the spacious foyer, the group arrived at the manor’s reception room.

Resembling a Buddhist hall, the centerpiece was a luohan bed, flanked on both sides by rows of top-tier mahogany tables and chairs.

Chen Shanhe walked directly to the luohan bed at the center and sat down, while the rest took their seats on the chairs along the sides.

The seating arrangement was very meticulous, reflecting the differences in rank and contribution of those present.

Even Chen Ze could only sit in the third chair on the left side, leaving the two seats in front of him empty.

Qian Sheng occupied a relatively front position, seated in the first chair on the right-hand side.

Once everyone was seated, Chen Shanhe gestured for the servants to serve tea. When the tea was set on each table, the leaders of the four squads entered the room.

They were the core of the core, the right and left hands of Chen Shanhe.

Once all were seated, the room fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

Chen Shanhe’s deep gaze swept from left to right, scanning over each person’s face in turn.

To him, including his own son Chen Ze, everyone in the room was disposable fodder. However, as they were carefully chosen by him, he was reluctant to risk them unless absolutely necessary.

Men with two legs were a dime a dozen,

but those with abilities, coupled with loyalty, were not so easy to find.

After looking around the room, Chen Shanhe spoke up, his voice impassive but resonant, “Today, I’ve summoned you to inform you that the Chen family has once again reached a crucial juncture of life and death.”

The expressions of those present turned grave. Still, nobody spoke; instead, their solemn gazes were all trained on Chen Shanhe.

Chen Shanhe had the ability to discern people’s loyalty. He could tell if his subordinates had turned treacherous, remained loyal, or bore any grudges against him, all by just looking them in the eye.

This wasn’t some supernatural ability, but a skill honed from a lifetime of political struggle, surviving countless betrayals.

He spoke again, “In three hours, I will board a private jet to America. My trip to America this time may well be a case of nine deaths and one life, so this might be the last meeting I hold for you.”

Hearing that the Chen Family was about to run into trouble, those present didn’t react too much, but when they learned that Chen Shanhe might be in danger, everyone became tense.

Qian Sheng hurriedly tried to reassure, “Elder Chen, you’ve weathered so many storms before, I believe that this time you will also turn calamity into blessing, and transform ill fortune into good fortune.”

Chen Shanhe raised his right hand, signaling him not to go on, and then he said, “I’m already old, even if I fall this time it’s no big deal, I, Chen, am prepared for such an outcome.”

“However, one must dare to fight, dare to gamble with the heavens, and this time my life is in your hands, every word I say next must be heard and understood clearly by you.”

“Only then might I have a chance to survive, and if I don’t, you will still have a way out.”

Chen Shanhe’s ability to stir emotions was very strong, and after his speech, everyone present felt deeply moved.

After all, in this cold-hearted era, it’s not common for a boss to worry about his subordinates when facing major trouble himself.

They all focused intently, waiting for Chen Shanhe’s next instructions.

Chen Shanhe first looked towards the captains of the four squads, and said gravely, “Wind Forest Volcano Mountain, your four squads’ mission is to keep an eye on Jonson Hester’s three sons and one daughter, as well as his several wives and parents.”

“Fortunately, Hester has only just become the Duke of America, and his sense of protection for his family isn’t very strong. Most of his children are abroad, and you all know their exact addresses.”

“Remember, if I don’t issue instructions to you within 12 hours, then you must immediately kidnap his family members.”

“Only if your plan goes well, might my life be saved!”

At the end of his speech, the captains of Wind Forest Volcano Mountain squads all nodded their heads firmly.

“Elder Chen, please rest assured, we will definitely not have any problems on our side!”

“It’s said that armies are maintained for a thousand days to be used at one critical moment, today is the day we repay your kindness!”

“It doesn’t matter whether he’s the Duke of America or the ruler of Earth, if he dares to harm you, we will definitely make him pay tenfold, a hundredfold!”

“Hester’s parents are within our encirclement, ready to be acted upon at any time, and the probability of success is very high!”

The captains of the four squads each expressed their determination.

They had been busy with these matters for some time, and now they had already achieved substantial results.

Even among the security personnel prepared by Jonson Hester for his family, there were their plants.

With internal and external cooperation, there was no fear the plan would fail.

After hearing his subordinates’ report, Chen Shanhe nodded with great satisfaction, then looked towards his most beloved son and said, “Chen Ze, you must keep those intelligence reports safe. If we reach a critical moment, these are my second line of insurance.”

“Especially those concerning Grand Xia and America, as long as we have these in hand, we can maneuver between these two superpowers, it’s like my second life.”

“Previously when I was in Grand Xia, I had you go to Japan first, and I’m very satisfied with your performance. This time, it’s our Chen family’s last trial.”

“As long as I come back alive from America, then under this heaven, no one will be able to contain our Chen family.”

Chen Ze nodded slowly, his voice serious as he said, “Father, please rest assured, I have placed those intelligence reports in the safest place, there will be absolutely no problems.”

“Go to America with peace of mind, this time your son can still clear the way for you!”

Chen Shanhe was truly satisfied with his son Chen Ze from the bottom of his heart; he was also the son most like himself.

If nothing unexpected happened, then he would be his future successor.

However, now was not the time to discuss this, after arranging these matters, Chen Shanhe turned to Qian Sheng and said, “Qian Sheng, go to the Japan museum immediately, take out the genuine Spiral Shell Purple Sandalwood Five-string Pipa and the Glazed Tianmu Tea Bowl; I want to take these two gifts to meet the Duke of America!”

These two items were top national treasures of Grand Xia that had circulated to Japan for various reasons and placed on exhibition in a museum.

Of course, what was in the exhibit was just a one-to-one replica; the real artifacts were kept in the national bank’s vault.

Chen Shanhe didn’t believe that with these two artifacts as gifts for Jonson Hester, along with his top-level intelligence, he couldn’t gain support for the Chen family from him.

This time he had taken every precaution; one could say he was fully prepared, even if behind Jonson Hester there was Lin Mo pulling the strings, he was confident he could offer something more tempting than Lin Mo, thereby turning the Duke of America to his side.
