Chapter 1017: Living in Peace Requires Effort
When Chen Chuan heard Gao Ming was talking about the news from the Cao family mansion, he immediately clicked on the lower realm pass, opened a hidden channel, and asked, "Gao Ming, what is the specific situation? Tell me in detail."
Gao Ming immediately repeated everything Uncle Ding had told him word for word.
After listening to this, Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Gao Ming, thank you. Please reply to Cao's Manor for me and tell them I know about it so they can rest assured. Also, remember to keep this matter confidential."
His current status makes it inconvenient for him to communicate or meet directly with Senior Cao. It’s okay for him, but it’s not good for the latter.
"Cousin, I understand."
Chen Chuan then said, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, how did you do on the exam this time?"
Gao Ming said, "Cousin, I have been recognized as a lawyer by the Fighter Council. If you have any business involving Fighter clauses, you can come directly to me in the future."
"OK."
Chen Chuan nodded. This qualification is actually quite difficult to pass, and it is recognized all over the world. The key does not lie in the knowledge you have mastered, nor in how high your original level as a lawyer is, but in your background.
As far as he knew, some people in the upper echelons of Dashun would arrange their relatives to this position, because dealing with fighters, communicating, and even handling affairs meant power and the control of violence, and they would form a community of interests with each other.
So this time it was only because Gao Ming was his relative, and his weight was getting heavier, that he was able to pass so quickly. Otherwise, the Fighter Council would never have approved this qualification certificate so easily.
After a brief chat with Gao Ming and an appointment to have dinner another day, I ended the call. Then I sat here with my aunt and chatted about some family matters. Not long after, my cousins came back from school. After getting out of the car, they saw Chao Ming flying above the villa and knew it was my cousin. They couldn't help but run in and cheered for my cousin.
Chen Chuan smiled and stood up, then took out some things he had brought back from the fusion zone in the expectant eyes of the two little guys. These were all harmless and novel small creatures. After being told that they could take them to school, the two guys were extremely happy, because these things were guaranteed to be things their classmates had never seen before.
The two little guys circled around him for a long time before Yu Wan pulled them away to wash their hands and do their homework. After they came back, Chen Chuan asked, "Auntie, did my cousins practice breathing techniques?"
Yu Wan said, "The school asked us to teach it. We also did a set of exercises. They said every student must learn it." She asked a little nervously, "Chan'er, is there anything wrong?"
Chen Chuan said, "Don't worry, auntie. This simple breathing method will only strengthen your body. There's nothing wrong with it. Just ensure you have normal nutritional intake."
Yu Wan immediately felt relieved.
Chen Chuan knew that the school taught this not only to ensure physical health, but also for screening purposes. The crisis in another world was right above their heads, and no one knew when it would fall. More fighters or martial artists were needed to stand up and support the world.
He had read the information from the Government Affairs Department. Every year, more and more people were found to have talents, and the number was increasing almost year by year. In addition to the expansion of the testing scope, the world was getting closer and closer, prompting more people to change.
However, at present, this change seems to only occur in individuals and will not be passed on. Therefore, whether it is due to external threats or actual conditions, the upper class must and must give the lower class enough opportunities for advancement.
Another half hour later, Nian Fuli also returned from patrolling the city. He had heard about Chen Chuan's return, so he had come out earlier today. After changing his clothes and sitting down, he and Chen Chuan started chatting in the living room.
Originally, Yu Wan was talking about family matters, but now as the two of them talked, the topic gradually turned to the implementation of some government policies and the opinions of some government officials.
It was soon time for dinner, and the family had dinner together. After Chen Chuan watched a show with his aunt for a while, he returned to the study. He opened the curtains, and a cool evening breeze blew in, lifting the curtains. The lights and neon lights outside were as colorful as ever, but also unpredictable.
He really likes the feeling of having his family together and having fun like this, but even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop. In this world, without sufficient power, it is impossible to maintain these things, not to mention the threat from another world.
Unless you reach an unshakable point.
He looked deeply at the sky. The vortex there was getting bigger and bigger, and seemed to cover the sky above the city.
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, gradually ruffling his hair.
After standing for a long time, he closed the window a little and thought about what Gao Ming had just told him. The rumor about Senior Cao was that the other party was from the old imperial family, and these people would not come to look for some secret treasure for no reason. They must have some ideas.
Secret treasure...
When it comes to secret treasures, there is a possibility of cracks. It was right for Senior Cao to report it to him immediately, otherwise if something happened in the future, he might be implicated.
But these people came to Cao Guiqi so blatantly, aren’t they afraid that Cao Guiqi will leak this news to the central city?
But when I think about it again, the other party is really not afraid.
Because Cao Guiqi was not actually trusted in the Government Affairs Office in the past. Although he had attended Wuyi College and had a good relationship with the processing bureau, that was only on the surface. Past files showed that most of the time it was actually for the convenience of surveillance.
In the past, all people who had dealings with the Cao family were registered, and Cao Guiqi had never reported anything to them.
On the one hand, the Government Affairs Office does not need him to do anything, and just keeping him around can implicate the remnants of the old dynasty. On the other hand, even if he reports to the Government Affairs Office, they will not trust him and may instead strengthen their surveillance of him.
Senior Cao is also aware of this, so he has done nothing for a long time. Perhaps because of this, it has attracted more frequent visits from the old imperial family.
But it's different here. He has received great help from this senior in the past, and he is very grateful for it. There is a basis of trust between the two parties.
After thinking for a while, he walked out of the study, came to the office, turned on the field screen, and then sent a message to the Government Affairs Office, requesting an emergency security decision-making meeting.
This is the power of every member of the security decision-making team. When encountering some situations that must be dealt with as soon as possible, they can issue a meeting request.
After a while, people appeared on the scene one after another. Except for Yao Zhiyi, the rest of the decision-making team arrived quickly.
Qi Weizhao said, "Director Chen, welcome back." Qiao Weiting and Liang Guanghai also greeted him one after another.
In fact, during the nearly half year of his absence, no one felt very at ease. It was not until Xu Chan broke through his limits and became a fighter that the situation improved slightly.
After waiting for about half an hour, Yao Zhiyi arrived.
After exchanging greetings, Chen Chuan didn't waste any more time and said directly, "There are two reasons for initiating this meeting today. The first is that through Director Xu's investigation, I believe it is necessary to list Green Source Ecology Company as a company of distrust and conduct a safety inspection on them."
This proposal was quickly passed. This company was found to have problems a long time ago, and the Plague Cult in the lower city might be supported by it. This might also involve some other things, but there has been a lack of real evidence, and there has been obstruction from the municipal council. But now the situation is different, they can directly punish it with administrative power.
Just as Chen Chuan had imagined, there was no need to worry about what other companies thought. They needed Jibei Road. Even if those companies were gone, there were still vast resources waiting to be developed overseas, and many domestic companies were eyeing this area. Whether it was the environmental changes caused by the gap in the World Ring or the connection of the skyline, Jibei Road was now a rare region in the world capable of promoting rapid technological development.
After this proposal, he talked about the second thing, which was the news he received from Senior Cao.
This news has aroused the security team's high attention and vigilance.
After all, anything involving secret treasures or rifts is not a simple matter.
Qi Weizhao said, "Director Chen, do you know where the secret is?"
Chen Chuan said, "Cao didn't know the exact location, but he provided some information confirming that the secret treasure was in our Jibei Road."
Liang Guanghai then said, "It's possible."
Everyone looked over, and Liang Guanghai said, "There's a saying about the 'Three Zhous' in Jibei Dao in ancient times, and 'Zhou' means crack in ancient language.
There is one week here in the central city where we are now, and another week on the sea. It was opened for a short period of time thirty years ago and closed after more than ten years. In fact, it has been gathered and swallowed up by the mother shrimp.
The location of the remaining week is unknown. It is said to be within the Sanshan area. A large number of troops were stationed there during the great development period, but nothing was found there. There is another place, which may be Jiaoshan outside Yangzhi.
We've explored there before, but also found no clear results. After hearing Director Chen's account today, I have reason to suspect the remaining 'week' was ritually sealed away by the old imperial family as a secret cache."
Qiao Weiting asked, "Is the key to the secret treasure in the hands of the Cao family?"
Chen Chuan said: "The Cao family told me about this matter. They have this thing, but it is not complete, only half. If they need it, they can take it out."
The team members immediately understood. Because this thing was only half, it would be difficult for the Cao family to take it out in the past because the Government Affairs Office might suspect that they were unwilling to hand it over completely and secretly hid the other half. This was unclear. But now it was different. With Chen Chuan there, the Cao family dared to confess the matter.
Qi Weizhao then said seriously, "The old imperial family should know the exact location of the secret treasure, but they didn't make any moves in the past. Now they are suddenly looking for the key. Can we assume that they have made new moves?"
