Chapter 824: A Suspicious Shadow Enters at Dawn

No. 15, Jinfengyuan, Weiguang District.

Chen Chuan looked at the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the room.

Weiguang District is full of high-rise buildings and brilliant lights and shadows. It is the administrative and commercial center of the central city and the most prosperous area in the entire central city and even the entire Jibei Road.

His residence is located in this area. It is an eight-story villa with five floors above ground and three floors underground, and is connected by an elevator.

The entire residential area covers a large area and occupies a corner of the beautiful and land-scarce Xingtan Lake. It can actually be regarded as a manor.

There are complete security facilities here, and not far from the villa is the anchorage for small airships, so he can travel by airship at any time. Even if he goes to the sea to practice, he doesn't have to go to the anchorage outside.

There is a resonance nest in the villa, and as long as there is a suitable resonator, he can be responsible for the invasion and defense of the field.

Of course, this thing is only a backup in special circumstances. For him, having Andun's authority is enough for normal times.

What he was most satisfied with was the collection room on the fourth floor, which he had specifically requested to be renovated. It was large enough to accommodate all his current collections, and even if it increased several times in the future, it could accommodate more.

The first underground floor is an underground garage, which houses a group of generators and reserves space for field interference organisms. The second underground floor is quite unique, connecting to the passage to the fusion land. He can drive from here to the station at the fusion land or go directly to the fusion land.

As for the training ground, it is located on the last underground floor and has been fully reinforced to be able to withstand the impact of a fighter's normal strength. However, this is only according to the common standards. Whether it can withstand his strength will have to be tested.

However, there was one difference here: because he had some of the power of the Mother of the Earth, he could simulate scenes just like he did at Wuyi Academy. Previously, Chen Bitong had borrowed some of the Mother of the Earth's resources from Chairman Quan to conduct the training.

However, for people at the fourth level, in order to achieve the training effect, there are too many resources to mobilize. What he has now is not enough. Forced mobilization may cause the field information of large areas in the central city to disappear.

But he thought it through. Although he couldn't use it himself, he could use this place as a training ground for his team members, allowing them to use these resources to improve their strength. Anyway, if he didn't use these resources normally, it would be a waste. So, it would be better to use them to train the team members.

He poured himself a cup of hot drink and drank it slowly, thinking about some matters that needed to be dealt with next and the doubts in his cultivation.

At this moment, the interface rang slightly, and he answered it. On the other side was an investigator from the Processing Bureau:

"Director, according to our investigation, Lv Miao is suspected of suffering from 'functional disorder syndrome' due to the abuse of implants and medication. Our investigation shows that he has a history of assaulting others multiple times. From the remaining information traces, it seems that Lv Gao managed to delete all of them afterwards.

"The current diagnostic records indicate that at the time of the incident, he was experiencing a strong drug reaction and his implants were in a highly aroused state. It's suspected that he was remotely invaded by a resonant being, and that the large amount of drugs he ingested led to his irrational behavior. I'm afraid he himself didn't even realize what he was doing at the time."

Chen Chuan listened and was also expecting this, because no normal person would drive a civilian car directly into an armed convoy.

He asked, "Is Lü Miao dead?"

"No, Lu Gao purchased the second-level services of Parallel Emergency for him. He is currently staying in the Parallel Emergency Nutrition Chamber, maintaining basic vital signs. I heard that Lu Gao is preparing to perform a full implant surgery on him."

Chen Chuan nodded. He noticed that Lu Gao did not give him any explanation or apology after the incident. Obviously, he knew that it would be the same whether he explained it or not, so he did not bother with the superficial effort.

He will deal with this person after taking over the Defense Department.

After the other party finished reporting, he ended the call, took the Xuejun Knife from the table, and prepared to go to the training ground on the basement floor to try it out. Just as he reached the elevator door, an unfamiliar voice message came in. Andun showed that the other party was from "Wansong Entrusted Agency Company" and that the security level of this entrusted company was very high, and it was not a permanent company in Jibei Road Central City.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, clicked to receive, and the voice message rang immediately.

The voice was gentle and middle-aged. "Director Chen, we are Wansong's agency. We specialize in providing communication, information transfer, and nutritional supplements to martial artists. We've been entrusted by a client to discuss this with you at your convenience. If you're interested, please leave a message for us."

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Andun, can you find information about this company?"

Andun replied, "I'm sorry, Director Chen, the voice message was delivered through a special channel, and the Jibei Road Processing Bureau's database can't find any information about this company."

Chen Chuan thought about it and realized that the other party claimed to serve fighters. It was very likely that the person behind this company was also a fighter, and was not in the central city. This was why Andun was unable to access the other party's information.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think that although the information communication in the city was already developed enough, each central city was equivalent to an isolated island. If the Skyline Plan was really implemented, the efficiency of obtaining information and resources would definitely be higher.

After entering the elevator, he went down to the third underground floor and came to the training ground. When he got here, he found that the entire field was made of special biological materials that could repair themselves.

He looked at the vast underground space and nodded. Regardless of how solid it was, at least the space was closed enough. After he cut open the crack, he didn't have to use the field to block it, which could save some effort.

He put down the Xuejun Sword, walked to the center of the venue, and slowly took up the Great Bright Light stance.

He rested here for two days. On the morning of December 1st, he changed into the uniform of the Director of Defense, took a special car to the administrative building, took the elevator from the dedicated passage to the Defense Office area on the 70th floor, and walked to his office according to the instructions on the sign.

The guards and security personnel on the road, as well as hundreds of subordinates and administrative staff from the Defense Department, had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw him come in, they all raised their hands to salute and said in unison, "Director."

Chen Chuan glanced at them and returned the greeting. He had already met most of the people present at the meeting and had spoken with the main management staff, so they were no strangers. He looked around and said, "Isn't Deputy Director Lu here today?"

One of the subordinates replied, "Deputy Director Lu's son got into trouble, so he submitted a false application to the Administration Department."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Everyone, please continue with your work."

He walked along the corridor to the office, and after passing multiple verifications in front of the door, he entered the inner space. He put the Xuejun Knife aside and walked towards the desk, but at this moment, the red scarf he was wearing fluttered, as if wiping something away.

His eyes turned, and he stretched out two fingers and pinched the thing. It was obvious that the thing was transparent, and there was no feeling between the two fingers. Mainly because it posed no threat to him, it was easily ignored.

He asked, "Hongfu, what is this?"

Hong Fu's voice rang out, "Some kind of spiritual mixture can blend into the inner world and monitor the carrier's whereabouts in a specific area."

Chen Chuan's eyes flashed. A spiritual mixture? This was undoubtedly the work of a martial artist.

He immediately called the police and asked me to check the records of people who had entered and left the office in the past two or three days.

After a while, the situation of the past few days was immediately displayed on the screen. During the days when Director Bei was away, apart from the safety inspectors and cleaning staff, only Deputy Director Lu had come, but he used his authority to erase his actions at that time.

What’s interesting is that the records he deleted were only those of the inactive consciousness bodies on the office side, while the records on the side of the mother were impossible to clear. He should be aware of this himself, and this seemed like he was deliberately conveying some information.

He thought for a moment, then clicked on the lower realm certificate and issued an order to the processing bureau, "Deputy Director Lu is suspected of being involved in an attack case. Immediately arrest him and bring him to me."

Only an hour later, Deputy Director Lu was brought into his office. The moment he saw Chen Chuan, his expression was very complicated.

Chen Chuan asked everyone to leave and said to him, "Director Lu, you know why I asked you to come here. Tell me."

Lu Gao said slowly, "Someone asked me to leave something in your office, but I don't know what it is."

"When? Who?"

"On the day my son got into trouble, who was it? I don't know. Parliament? The Federation? Any of them are possible, but I think anyone who can target you, Director, must have some equal power, right?"

At this time, he reached out and dug out a piece of bloody implant tissue from the implant on the side of his skull, throwing it on the desk. "Although the field was blocked when I talked to them, there are some things they can't block. This is the complete record of my conversation with them at that time and the subsequent conversations. It's all in here.

I think Director Chen should be able to find clues from this."

Chen Chuan took a look and said, "Deputy Director Lu, I think you can see that your son's case is related to them."

Lu Gao said in a deep voice, "I could guess that they were behind this, but I also knew that they were the only ones who could save my son's life. They were very powerful. If I didn't cooperate, I wouldn't be able to save myself or my son, so I had no choice but to cooperate."

He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Director Chen, although my son has done a lot of stupid things, as a father, no matter how much of a bastard or worthless he is, I still hope that he can live a good life. For this, I am willing to give up everything.

Director Chen, I will cooperate with you on all matters concerning the Defense Department. I will tell you everything I know without reservation, but I hope..."

He took a breath, a ferocious look on his face, "Afterwards, those who hurt Xiao Miao must pay the price!"
