Chen Chuan reached out and shook hands with him, feeling the other man's broad, powerful palm. This person must possess considerable Strength. He greeted him, saying, "Mr. Chang, hello. You ntioned you are… the newly appointed supervisor?"
"Ah, that's right."
Chang Dong said with a smile, "In Jibei Province, our Purist Faction mbers are relatively few. To be precise, Jibei Province is primarily under the influence of the Refinent Sect and Fusion Sect."
He sighed. "Actually, it wasn't always like this. Fifteen years ago, when the previous supervisor was still in office, to eliminate a particularly dangerous target, the supervisor at the ti gathered most of our mbers in Jibei Province for an operation.
Unfortunately, the operation was unsuccessful. Not only did the target escape, but our personnel also suffered significant losses, with hardly any returning alive.
This incident had a major Influence, and so internal mbers were implicated. Since then, for over a decade, in Jibeidiao Central City, our Purist Faction only had a nominal branch, and the supervisor wasn't a Martial Artist. However, we did retain so personnel in the peripheral cities that the two sects didn't focus on…"
Chen Chuan imdiately thought of Instructor Wen and later Teacher He. He thought to himself, no wonder he always sensed a certain Influence from the Purist Faction, but rarely saw anyone, so this was the reason.
Chang Dong then patted the car. "This ti, I'm here not only to deliver this Pure Essence to you but also to serve as your exclusive contact within the faction and to carry out the task of rebuilding the Central City branch. Comrade Chen, I hope we can cooperate more in the future."
Chen Chuan nodded. Having joined the Purist Faction, he naturally needed to contribute while enjoying its benefits. He said, "I will. What do you need to do?"
"Well, you don't need to worry about the specifics. I'll be responsible for securing funding, manpower, and developing mbers. You just need to focus on your own tasks, and…"
Chang Dong's expression beca more serious. "That is to resolutely eliminate and suppress those entities from the other side, and those who collude with them."
Chen Chuan asked, "Even if they are current officials?"
"Even if they are current officials!"
Chang Dong's tone was very firm.
"Of course, even if we take action, we still need evidence. We can't do things arbitrarily. Generally speaking, if we have evidence and the process can be followed, we'll follow it. If it can't be followed for the ti being, and the matter is urgent, then we'll have to act preemptively.
Supervisor Chen, the infiltration from the other side can cause us enormous damage, so sotis we must make tily decisions, otherwise it may lead to many unpredictable consequences. And Supervisor Chen, your position is just right, because this falls within your authority."
Chen Chuan nodded.
After a brief conversation, he invited Chang Dong into the house. After pouring tea and sitting down, he said, "Mr. Chang, I have sothing here that may involve the Refinent Sect. If you hadn't co today, I might have tried to contact the faction. Now that you're here, I should tell you about it."
Hearing that it involved the Refinent Sect, Chang Dong imdiately beca serious. His broad, heavy body, which had almost sunk into the soft chair, straightened up, and he asked, "What is it?"
Chen Chuan then told him about the previous situation, including the fact that the other side had contacted him through many people.
After hearing this, Chang Dong imdiately asked, "Do you still have that radio with you?"
Chen Chuan said, "Yes, I do." He had placed the radio at Processing Bureau, but he considered the radio essential. He imdiately got up and retrieved it.
Chang Dong examined it, and his expression beca even more grave.
He possessed Spirit-related talents and had very unique Skills in Spiritual Power, but at this mont, he couldn't discern anything. If Chen Chuan hadn't deliberately concealed anything or given the wrong account, then there was only one possibility.
He said in a deep voice, "Supervisor Chen, it seems I need to leave with this item. Supervisor Chen, rest assured about this matter. It's clear that the other side has crossed the line first. I'll send a Telegram back first, and the faction will help you handle it."
He pushed the briefcase and a paper list to him. "Both units of Pure Essence are inside. Supervisor Chen, please inspect the items, then sign this list. I'll take your signature back with ."
Chen Chuan nodded. He took the case, inspected it with Spiritual Power, confird that there were no problems, then took a pen, signed the list, and returned it to the other man.
Chang Dong packed his things, left him a Telegram frequency and number for contact, then got up, shook his hand, and took his leave.
Outside, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky and the brightly lit road, he patted his soft belly, revealing a troubled expression. He had only just arrived, and now he had to run back again. Such back-and-forth travel would probably make him lose several pounds.
After Chen Chuan saw him off in the Off-road vehicle, he turned back, took the briefcase directly to the Training room, opened the case, and saw rows of glass tubes inside, each containing shimring streams of light moving back and forth, looking like tiny fish darting about.
According to so accounts, Pure Essence was a kind of living thing, possessing so characteristics of living things, and based on previous contact, this account seed to have so truth to it.
Next to the case was a small note with so reminders, informing him of so precautions and taboos when consuming it.
After reading it, he took out a tube, first wrapped it with Spirit, then directly removed the stopper, tilted his head back, and poured it into his mouth, swallowing it.
This feeling…
He imdiately discerned that this Pure Essence was much less effective than what he had consud before, and by a considerable margin. It was very likely that the Pure Essence had lost much of its original purity after entering this world.
This was almost inevitable. The things from the other world were Influencing them, and their world was also Influencing the other side, the ergence of the Convergence Zone was the best proof.
But fortunately, this was ultimately Pure Essence, and there was a sufficient quantity.
However, he had originally estimated these two units based on the earlier Pure Essence, and now it seed that even using it all would still be insufficient. Fortunately, the faction's intention was to provide more if it wasn't enough, and currently, there was Pure Essence occasionally leaking out, so there was no need to worry about it being insufficient.
For the next two days, he didn't go anywhere, staying at ho to absorb Pure Essence, train his Spirit, and conduct daily Martial CombatCultivation. Although he intentionally slowed down the Speed, he still exhausted the Pure Essence within these two days, so he used the contact frequency left by Chang Dong to send a Telegram, requesting another two units of Pure Essence from the faction.
On September 1st, Chen Chuan put on the supervisor's uniform and took a special car to the Processing Bureau early in the morning. Yesterday, he received a ssage from the bureau that he was to attend a high-level Processing Bureau eting this morning.
At ten o'clock in the morning, he stepped into the Processing Bureau. On the way there, the employees he encountered stopped and saluted him. He nodded in response, and after being led to the conference room by a Safe ShieldGuide, he saw that all seven district supervisors had arrived.
Each of the eight districts in Central City, except for White Bird District, had a supervisor assigned, but these affairs supervisors usually didn't have much presence. They just attended etings to make up the numbers, and did whatever the higher-ups decided.
People like Chen Chuan, who were responsible for violent law enforcent as Investigation Director, had the right to suggest and make decisions here. Currently, there were three Processing BureauInvestigation Directors, including him. The other two entered the venue around the sa ti, and after their eyes t, one of them, Supervisor Wen, took the initiative to greet him.
The other one, Supervisor Han, was lukewarm in his attitude, giving him a slight nod.
After they were seated at their respective positions, they waited for a while, and Director Wu walked into the conference room. After standing up to salute, they sat down again, and the eting began.
Director Wu said, "Supervisor Chen just returned from vacation, so he may not be clear about so things. Safe Shield, send a copy of the detailed Data to Supervisor Chen."
"Yes, Director Wu."
A line of text Data imdiately appeared on Chen Chuan's Boundary Token. He looked at it and learned that in late September, another United Body Delegation was about to arrive. At the sa ti, the Linax Federation would send a diplomatic delegation, with the first stop being Jibeidiao Central City.
Clearly, both were coming with ill intentions.
Below that was so Data he had seen before, stating that the Processing Bureau would thoroughly investigate or strongly supervise United Power Heavy Industries, Green Source Technology, and other Companies.
United Power Heavy Industries went without saying; for participating in the transport of Split Offspring, the Processing Bureau wouldn't let them off so easily. As for Green Source Technology, according to the Data, so of the insects that were now everywhere were likely related to them, and they needed to be closely monitored in the next stage.
While he was reviewing the Data, Director Wu was explaining the situation above, and then assigned the specific tasks.
"Supervisor Han, you have good connections and relationships with various Companies, so you will be responsible for the affairs related to the United Body Delegation."
Supervisor Han nodded, without saying anything.
Director Wu then looked at Supervisor Wen. "Supervisor Wen, you will be responsible for the security work of the Linax Federation diplomatic team."
Supervisor Wen solemnly agreed.
Director Wu finally looked at Chen Chuan. "Supervisor Chen, you will be responsible for the investigation of United Power Heavy Industries and Green Source Company. These tasks may take a long ti, and there are many things that need to be investigated. If you lack manpower, you can request it."
Chen Chuan thought for a mont. "I need the bureau to increase the allocation of personnel."
Director Wu said, "Okay, I'll increase it by ten slots for you first. If that's not enough, you can request it again, and I'll approve an additional batch of activity funds for you."
Chen Chuan said, "Then I have no problems here."
Director Wu then arranged tasks and important points for the affairs supervisors. After about an hour, the eting ended, and everyone prepared to leave.
Just as Chen Chuan was getting up, Director Wu called out to him, "Supervisor Chen, please stay behind. I have so things to discuss with you." Chen Chuan stopped, and the other supervisors looked back before leaving one after another.
After only Director Wu and he were left, Director Wu ca down from above and sat down near him.
"Supervisor Chen, you arrested those people, right? As soon as the people ca in, a group of Lawyers ca imdiately, and the Municipal Council also called one after another to ask us to release them. And after those three people contacted the Lawyer, they are now saying that you actively attacked them and are preparing to sue you."
