When Chen Chuan got into the car, he saw a tall and sturdy figure sitting in the back seat, muscles straining against his clothes.
Seeing this person, he imdiately rembered that he had seen him once when he and Special Envoy Feng returned from handling affairs together. So this was Mr. Chu .
The back seat of the armored vehicle was very spacious. He sat down opposite the other person, and the car door was closed from the outside.
Mr. Chu said, "Captain Chen , you are hard to invite."
Chen Chuan said, "Is that so? It seems that Mr. Chu has only invited once."
Mr. Chu said, "Captain Chen seems to have so hostility towards us, which I can understand." He gestured forward, and the driver in front slowly started the car.
After getting on the road, he added, "We have our own responsibilities and things that must be investigated, which will inevitably infringe upon the interests of many people, but that is precisely the aning of our Action Committee's existence."
Chen Chuan asked, "Is Mr. Chu looking for today about Chen Bitong "s matter?"
Mr. Chu said, "That's not important. Chen Bitong "s matter is over. The current thod of handling it is the best. We are not unaware of being adaptable."
He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "The reason I invited Captain Chen here is solely for Captain Chen himself."
Chen Chuan said, "? I wonder what advice Mr. Chu has for ?"
Mr. Chu said, "Captain Chen , I admired you very much back in Yangzhi City. Those people from the Company should be exterminated without leaving any room for them or future troubles. In Central City, you once again proved your position and value, which is exactly what our Provisional Action Committee needs."
Chen Chuan "s expression remained calm.
Mr. Chu said, "Da Shun's current enemies are the enterprises of various countries. They control a large amount of resources and possess military forces strong enough to compete with the governnts of various countries, hindering the country's developnt and progress.
This is a chronic problem left over from the dynastic changes and the collapse of the Great Alliance, but we cannot turn a blind eye to it. This matter must be corrected by soone, instead of simply compromising.
After being in Central City for so long, you should be able to understand what I'm saying."
Chen Chuan remained noncommittal.
Mr. Chu continued, "I've reviewed your resu. In Yang Zhi, you relied on yourself and skillfully used the general trend to reverse an impossible situation, opening a gap in that wall. I admire your efforts and your courage to move forward.
But have you ever thought that when you break through a high wall, what's on the other side isn't the open world you imagined, but an even higher and bigger wall?"
Chen Chuan said, "Is Mr. Chu referring to Central City?"
Mr. Chu said, "Central City? No. Captain Chen may not feel it yet, because the path you are taking now is allowed by them."
He pointed his finger, "You haven't reached the line they've drawn yet, but it's not far off.
I can reveal so news to you. Your promotion docunts are already on the desks of the Processing Bureau and the Ministry of Defense.
If there are no unexpected issues, you may beco the youngest Investigation Director of the Jibei Province Processing Bureau, which is equivalent to a deputy director , a remarkable achievent.
However, you will soon find that when you want to move up further or want to acquire more resources to improve your strength, it will beco very difficult, because there is an invisible ceiling above."
He said aningfully, "People who co from the bottom, without eting certain conditions or being accepted and allowed by a certain circle, can only reach this point at most."
While speaking, he looked at Chen Chuan , seemingly waiting for him to digest and think. After a while, he added with a heavier tone:
"But besides these, it doesn't an there is absolutely no way out, and our Special Operations Committee can provide this path, and it doesn't require those things.
Of course, if you just stop here, don't have too many pursuits, and don't want to improve your strength, then this position is enough for you to sit in until retirent.
But, are you willing to accept that?
Your ability is no worse than anyone else's. Among the young people I've seen, you are one of the most outstanding. Your talent should be properly utilized, instead of being wasted and squandered here."
At this mont, he reached into his pocket, took out a business card, and handed it to him, "This is my business card. You will soon understand what I'm saying. If you want to go outside the high wall, you can co find ."
Chen Chuan glanced at it, thought for a mont, and reached out to take it.
Mr. Chu seed very satisfied that he took the business card. He said, "Then let's end today's conversation here. Captain Chen , you may want to consider what I said carefully. I'm not in a hurry, and you don't need to rush to make a decision."
The armored vehicle drove around outside and then returned to the square in front of Mysterious Palace Tower.
The car door opened, and Chen Chuan got out of the car.
"Oh, right, Captain Chen ."
Chen Chuan turned around and saw the car window slowly lowered. Mr. Chu was in the back seat and said to him, "In a few days, the Governnt Affairs Hall will have a security check. This was proposed by the Municipal Council under the guise of Central City's safety. All of you who had contact with Split Offspring and that being during the Splitting period must go.
Captain Chen , you were the last person to see Chen Bitong , so you will be the focus of this inspection. If you have any trouble at that ti, the Special Operations Committee can solve it for you, if you are willing."
After saying that, the car window closed again, and then these armored vehicles drove away one after another.
Chen Chuan thought, "Security check, huh..."
If he guessed correctly, this matter is likely related to the leakage of Pure Essence.
The upper echelons of the Governnt Affairs Hall and various Companies may not be certain that Chen Bitong was the one who tore the gap, but they must be suspicious of Chen Bitong , after all, his behavior was the most suspicious.
And he, the last person to co into contact with Chen Bitong , will definitely be suspected as well. Thinking from another perspective, any Martial Artist with ambition would not be able to resist the urge to absorb Pure Essence after learning about this.
However, he had already considered this matter.
He has a Second Self that can lower the expression of his body's state, even to the point where Spiritual Power doesn't exist. He can even allow his Second Self to shield certain energy field detections. As for the specifics, he can observe the situation when the ti cos.
After thinking it through, he walked into the Building, but along the way, he noticed that students greeted each other when they t, which was very different from the usual hurried and undisturbed atmosphere.
He pondered that this might be because these students and teachers had participated in the battle together a few days ago. The friendship forged in battle is indeed different.
After taking the elevator back to his dormitory, he was about to continue his afternoon training when he heard a notification sound from his Boundary Token.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a voice ssage from Tan Zhi . After opening it, the voice said:
"Chen classmate , how have you been these days? Teacher Wei asked to tell you to be careful recently."
"Teacher Wei ?"
Chen Chuan "s heart stirred slightly. He rembered this Teacher Wei , who was Tan Zhi "s personal coach and was said to have a good relationship with a certain council mber .
Council mber , huh...
After thinking about it, he sent a voice ssage back, "Tan classmate , thank you, and please thank Teacher Wei for ."
He could roughly guess the reason why Teacher Wei reminded him, and with what Mr. Chu had said earlier, it seed that this ti they were indeed coming with ill intentions, wanting to find out sothing.
Councilor Pei "s suggestion for him to go out and travel for a while might also be for this reason.
However, if the matter is not resolved, even if he goes out, he may not really be able to avoid it, and may instead be subject to more suspicion.
Although the Companies and Governnts of various countries compete with each other, they are likely to be united on the position of blockading Pure Essence.
In that case, perhaps he could take this opportunity to solve this problem along the way.
The news ca very quickly. In the afternoon of that sa day, he received a notice from the Governnt Affairs Hall and the Processing Bureau, requiring him and those who participated in the operation that day to go to the Ergency Affairs Center in Majestic Light District for a security check the next day.
He glanced at it, and while drinking a sip of hot beverage, he also swallowed a wisp of newly captured Pure Essence.
Although Pure Essence is now more difficult to find, as long as you pay attention, you can always gain sothing.
After finishing the hot drink and the Pure Essence within his body was circulated, he continued his daily Cultivation.
The next day, he put on the Processing Bureau's uniform and drove to the Ergency Affairs Center.
When he arrived at the location, he saw patrol airships flying overhead and fully ard guard troops on both sides of the road.
The troops were all wearing goggles and helts, dressed in thick, heavy black protective gear, and equipped with both hot and cold weapons. The exposed faces showed Implant Embedded lines, giving off a very capable appearance.
This was a force exclusively commanded by the Municipal Council. They had ample funds, making this force the most well-equipped and ard with the most advanced Implants.
However, whether it was for maintaining city security or during the Mother Split this ti, this force had never been seen. This was because at that ti, this force was responsible for protecting the safety of every council mber of the Municipal Council.
There may be another unspoken reason, which is that it can be used to defend against and counter the military strength of Governnt departnts when necessary.
After arriving here, he heard the voice of the inactive consciousness body and parked the car in the designated area according to its guidance.
After parking, he looked at the tall building of the Ergency Affairs Center, where the semi-transparent glass curtain wall reflected half of the sky and the opposite buildings.
On the light screen in front, a rotating net-like object was presented, in which a floating eyeball-like reflective object seed to be staring at everyone passing by and entering and exiting.
He withdrew his gaze and walked towards it along the marked road.
At this mont, a middle-aged man standing at the door wearing a foreign-style suit looked in his direction, tapped his Boundary Token, and said into it, "Report, the key target of concern has entered the central area, activate level two alert..."
