The biological catastrophe requires a large number of humans as experintal materials.
Therefore, the slave trade is booming in secret.
The original owner controlled a line of the slave trade, and in his mory, he had nurous connections with a certain biological catastrophe research institute, being one of its protectors behind the scenes.
As a result, the slave business under his hands could bring him a substantial amount of money because he never worried about sales.
Recalling the mories in his mind, the original owner would do anything for money.
But the vast amount of money seed to disappear sowhere, causing Chen Che a headache.
He couldn’t figure out why the original owner amassed so much money and where it all went.
However, now he wasn’t concerned about making money or where the money was; he was thinking about stopping certain businesses.
There are so things the original owner could do, but he cannot.
The slave trade, kidnapping people from various places to sell them for biological experints, is cruel, immoral, and could even be called sending soone to hell.
But in the Wasteland, everyone is so desperate to survive that they don’t care about others.
The original owner was a native of the Wasteland, so doing these things to live a better life was understandable.
But he is not!
His soul ca from the world before civilization.
The education he received wasn’t about the scheming and betrayal of the Wasteland, not about extracting soone’s heart and liver for a penny.
He is not a saint, and he can understand the mindset of these people in the Wasteland. He is very selfish, and if soone blocked his way, he could kill without hesitation.
But to get into the slave trade, to get into the organ trade, to buy and sell soone unrelated, to murder an innocent person.
Just for money.
He... couldn’t do it.
If soone had cursed him at least once, he might have felt no guilt.
But among the many people sold through his line, did any of them ever harm him?
In the civilized world, what he’s done could be sentenced to death multiple tis.
So, what the original owner could do, he cannot; he wants to sever those activities from the original owner.
For the conscience that cos from his civilized soul!
His soul does not belong here, so his actions should also transcend here.
Secondly.
These matters are a mix of good and bad elents, very dangerous.
Behind a biological catastrophe research institute lies unknown influential figures, and the water is impossibly muddy.
Too murky, too complicated.
Chen Che doesn’t desire great influence, conquering the world or universe; he just wants to conquer one An Nishang.
And then comfortably cling to An Nishang and live off of her.
So he needs to cut off most uncontrollable lines created by the original owner.
This is firstly!
There are also other dirty businesses.
But he also knows that his people need to eat; he can’t cut off all businesses.
Just like when Zhao Kuangyin was clothed in imperial robes, if he firmly refused to wear those yellow robes, a blade might have fallen on him.
He’s not a brainless fool, he’s not going to naively, with a full moral purity, reject everything about the Wasteland.
He will adjust his morality to align with the Wasteland, while not descending below it.
Like the protection fees in the sixth district, he will collect them, and do so with a clear conscience.
The cruel slave trade, bloody plunder, he will not do such things without reason.
Only in this way, he feels like a human.
Chen Che never blindly moves forward; his mind always has a clear plan.
He is selfish, everything revolves around his core.
Chen Che’s mind has already mapped out his future developnt route.
Gaining An Nishang’s trust, conquering this woman.
Cutting off businesses that could bring fatal disaster, extricating himself from the mire.
Distancing himself from unknown forces.
He already senses a sense of crisis; his sixth sense tells him if no changes are made, continuing in the current state will lead to a miserable death.
Rebuilding his forces.
Bobby, Wildfire Gang...
Depend on An Nishang while accumulating his power; he’s not foolish, he won’t wholeheartedly trust An Nishang.
Although he can only rely on An Nishang now, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. He will use An Nishang’s affection to further his growth.
No matter what unexpected things happen in the future, even if he leaves An Nishang, he can still survive in the survival-of-the-fittest Wasteland.
After sorting everything out.
Chen Che exhaled a breath and stretched.
Received communication from his subordinate Xiong Da.
Over the phone, Xiong Da’s voice ca through.
"Boss, the stray dogs have delivered a new batch of goods."
Chen Che remained silent for a mont, then said, "Wait for to co over."
The goods have arrived.
Chen Che rubbed his forehead.
At this mont, he received a ssage from Bobby.
Bobby was there to give him money.
Chen Che let Bobby into the office, and Bobby placed a bag of money in front of Chen Che.
"Master Chen, this is the protection fee collected yesterday."
Chen Che did not count it, rubbed his forehead, thought of sothing, and said, "Take two people and follow later."
Bobby didn’t have much to do himself, but upon hearing this, his eyes glinted, and he asked, "Master Chen, sothing major?"
"Not a big deal, just follow to keep up appearances."
Bobby understood, didn’t ask more, said he’d contact his n, and Chen Che nodded.
Shortly after Bobby left, as Chen Che was about to leave, he saw Deputy Chief Inspector Lei, whom he had t briefly before, standing at the door.
Lei Bao cheerfully greeted Chen Che, and seeing Xia Na was still there, he also greeted her obsequiously.
Xia Na just nodded coldly.
"Does Chief Inspector Lei have any business?" Chen Che asked tentatively.
Lei Bao coughed twice and seriously said, "Chief Investigator Chen is new here, and after so discussion with my inspectors, we can’t neglect Chief Investigator Chen, so we prepared a gift for him."
Saying this, Lei Bao took out a small box, opened it, and showed the item inside to Chen Che.
"What is this?" Chen Che imdiately felt a strange vibe, involuntarily shivering.
Seeing this, Lei Bao didn’t beat around the bush anymore, leaned closer to Chen Che, and whispered, "Master Chen, we understand the purpose for which Director An dispatched you here. Don’t worry, my inspectors and I have already prepared to turn over a new leaf.
As soon as I heard you ntion Pandora’s Kiss, I knew what you wanted. Rest assured and take this Demon Scale; everything is arranged, guaranteed not to bring any trouble.
This is our gesture of turning over a new leaf for you, so please tell Director An that henceforth, Lei Bao and everyone under will serve him with utter dedication!
Cough, cough, I would appreciate it if you could put in a good word with Director An... as our Investigation Departnt’s Chief Investigator is retiring soon..."
Hearing these insinuations, Chen Che felt a bit bewildered.
He couldn’t recall ever implying anything to Lei Bao.
The Demon Scale is said to be the main material for making the Demon Catastrophe Potion.
How did they get hold of it to give him?
And what’s with this talk of turning over a new leaf?
Did they misunderstand sothing?
Chen Che is a shrewd person; although he doesn’t know what Lei Bao misunderstood, it’s clear that Lei Bao is currying favor with him now.
Guessing they mistook him as An Nishang’s spokesperson isn’t far off the mark.
The saying goes that gifts offered should not be refused, and when people co to serve you, one should not reject them for nothing.
Chen Che imdiately accepted the Demon Scale, coughed twice, and said, "As Chief Inspector Lei has put so much heart into this, it would be impolite for not to accept it.
Rest assured, Chief Inspector Lei, I will faithfully report this to the leadership. But whether it can materialize, will depend on how the leadership handles it..."
