Chapter 115: The Mainstay
The situation is extremely dire at the moment, with little hope of change.
There was silence in the meeting room, and everyone had a heavy expression.
This time, it seems that we really cannot turn the situation around.
Just when everyone was lost in thought, Zhou Cheng slowly stood up.
He looked solemnly at the decision-makers on the rostrum and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, I request that I take on the role of leader of the arrest team."
In an instant, almost everyone in the conference hall turned their eyes to Zhou Cheng.
In front, the first decision maker subconsciously raised his head and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
“You don’t…”
But the next moment, he stopped by himself.
Why not?
When it comes to organizational ability, Zhou Cheng had already organized and coordinated a construction team of up to 100,000 people at the Yangjiagou site, proving his organizational and leadership abilities.
Zhou Cheng's professional background was indeed a disadvantage. He majored in physics, not criminal investigation. However, over the past year or so, Zhou Cheng's behavior had been evident to all.
He had been deeply involved in the capture of the Ascending Sect. During this process, he was not only familiar with every major milestone, but also read a vast amount of situation reports and even participated in every high-level discussion.
Through his deep involvement in the arrest team's operations and constant communication with the team's top brass, he learned a lot of knowledge about criminal investigation and organization.
Besides, as the top leader of an organization, is professional knowledge really important?
It is indeed important, but not that important, because a top person in charge is destined to be far away from the front line and away from specific technical details.
He doesn't need to understand these things very well, he just needs to have a general understanding of them and then take a holistic view of the overall situation.
If Zhou Cheng only possesses the above qualities, then this reason is still not solid enough to make him appoint him as the head of the arrest team.
But there is one most crucial reason that makes doing so reasonable enough, and even the only choice.
For some unknown reasons, the Ascension Sect never assassinated Zhou Cheng. We highly suspect that it is not that the Ascension Sect does not want to do it, but that they cannot do it!
Since Zhou Cheng cannot be assassinated, he becomes the most suitable candidate to be the leader of the capture team at this stage.
He will be like a mainstay, standing in the turbulent river created by the constant assassinations of the Ascending Dimension Sect, and providing protection for the people behind him.
What's the point of assassinating those people below Zhou Cheng's level instead of Zhou Cheng's?
In this way, the situation will change instantly.
The only thing to worry about is...
What was the reason that prevented the Ascending Cult from assassinating Zhou Cheng? Was this reason sufficiently strong that even if Zhou Cheng became the leader of the capture team, it would still prevent the Ascending Cult from assassinating him?
What if the weight is not large enough, and the Ascending Faction, after evaluation, believes that the benefits of assassinating Zhou Cheng are greater than their own losses, and then they brazenly take action and kill Zhou Cheng as well?
The first decision maker was silent and hesitant, caught in a dilemma.
After realizing Zhou Cheng's uniqueness and the uniqueness of his choice at this moment, the participants quickly realized what this choice meant.
Like the decision makers, they fell into silence.
No one could afford the consequences of Zhou Cheng being killed. At the same time, at this moment, letting Zhou Cheng take the position of person in charge seemed to be their only option.
Feeling this dilemma, Zhou Cheng sighed softly.
He said slowly: "My parents were killed by the Ascending Sect, my friends were killed by the Ascending Sect, and so many martyrs were killed by the Ascending Sect before. Even our civilization is about to fall into destruction because of the Ascending Sect.
At this time... do we have a second choice?
No, not really.
We don't need to worry about it, because we have no choice. The deaths of our heroes have not stopped us from fighting, and if I die one day, our struggle will not stop either.
I still think that only by not fearing sacrifice can we avoid it."
The first decision maker slowly raised his head, his eyes full of complicated expressions.
After a long silence, he spoke slowly, "I propose that Zhou Cheng be appointed as the top leader of the arrest team."
He was the first to raise his arm. Beside him, the remaining decision makers also raised their arms silently.
In the conference hall, many participants also raised their arms silently.
The appointment was approved unanimously.
"Okay, in that case, I will begin my duties immediately. I order that after this meeting, all relevant arrest team leaders immediately gather in the second conference room to discuss and deploy the next phase of the arrest operation."
"yes!"
After two long meetings, Zhou Cheng finally returned home with a tired body and a somewhat dazed head.
It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in the house.
Liu Yu sat quietly on the sofa holding the little monkey, waiting for something.
The moment she saw Zhou Cheng, she immediately stood up, her tone filled with anxiety: "How did you become the person in charge? How can you be the person in charge? This is not okay, this is not okay, this..."
A smile appeared on Zhou Cheng's face. He hugged Liu Yu tightly, and Liu Yu's words were interrupted.
After holding her quietly for a long time, Zhou Cheng said, "Why can't it be me?
It could be Sun Sihai, it could be Feng Yuzhu, it could be Ma Weining, it could be any of them, why not me?
The names Zhou Cheng mentioned were all his predecessors who had died not long ago.
Liu Yu hugged Zhou Cheng tightly, tears streaming down her face. "I understand, I understand. I just... I just...
Well, if you die, I'll just go with you."
Zhou Cheng gently touched her hair: "Don't worry, I won't die, and neither will you."
A night passed. The next day, Zhou Cheng officially arrived at the Ascending Dimension Capture Team headquarters, which was also located in the World Government Building, to take up his post.
Because he had always maintained a close focus on related tasks in the early stages, and had the assistance of many senior subordinates, Zhou Cheng had no difficulty getting started.
Just as people expected, the continuous sacrifices have never happened again since Zhou Cheng took office.
The situation is getting better.
Especially today.
In the conference room, with the support of intelligence that gave them a panoramic view of the situation, Zhou Cheng and his subordinates, after continuous discussions, finally focused their attention on a mountain range about hundreds of kilometers away from Dajing City.
"If the previous intelligence is correct... this should be it."
He pressed his hand heavily.
