Chapter 182: An Appointment
Inside the Wei family villa, Wei Jun ended the call, put down the phone, and looked up and said, "Senior Zhao promised. He will call and coordinate all aspects to give us support."
He looked at Jiang Wei and Shao Xiaobie and said slowly, "Back then, under Senior Zhao's leadership, we got rid of Shen Zheng. Now we can also get rid of Chen Chuan."
Jiang Wei said: "We shouldn't be the only ones involved in this."
Wei Jun nodded. This matter must involve the upper echelons of the mutual aid association. Because although they were the ones doing the work, the benefits were shared by everyone. Even if these people did not contribute in the process, they should advance and retreat with them and bear the risks together.
They have already determined that there must be a powerful force behind Chen Chuan, so only by uniting together can they calm down the possible storm and allow Yang Zhi to continue to maintain the old situation.
Just like three years ago.
"Call and inform people when you get back."
Jiang Wei immediately stood up from the sofa and walked out.
Shao Xiaobie nodded and walked out together.
In the next few hours, as calls were made to various villas and manors, an undercurrent surged in Yangzhi City.
In the training hall, Chen Chuan stood on the terrace of the training hall, carefully wiping the Xuejun Sword. Below him was the flowing river. After the thunderstorm, the sky was much brighter, but there were still some residual clouds.
When the wiping was finished, the streak of blood on the back of Xue Jun's sword became clearer and clearer. Holding it in his hand, he could feel the breath resonating with each other, and with a slight exertion of force, it would vibrate.
He gripped the blade and slowly inserted it into the scabbard. When the distance was sufficient, he took the handle and inserted it completely into the scabbard with a click. He then stood up, returned to the living room, and placed the knife on the knife block.
After returning to his seat, he took the package that Tan Wang was carrying and took out the things inside. Gao Ming had already looked at these things, but said that there was nothing valuable on them and they were only related to Tan Wang's personal practice.
He took it and flipped through it. The most noteworthy thing was a picture of a ferocious black snake. The snake had three heads. To be precise, they were the front view and the left and right views, but they were cleverly connected on one body, forming an artistic effect of three heads coexisting.
There are three concentric circles on the snake's body, each of which has different guide lines marked on it, and the front end of the guide falls on different parts of the snake's body.
At first glance, he thought it was some secret technique, but after a closer look, he realized it was actually a shopping list. It listed over twenty items, all related to implant modification technology, covering almost everything from the inside of the body to the surface, from the skin to the internal tissues.
The three circles should represent the first to third limits, and on the largest circle, several of them have been ticked. He took a look and thought that these should be the renovation projects that Tan Wang had chosen, whether they had been done or not.
For example, the two checked items "high-density muscle implantation" and "multi-segment bone modification", the former should be completed, and the multi-segment bone is to modify the limbs and torso like snake bones. Tan Wang's neck should be like this, and the rest of the body is normal, so only part of it should have been done.
Individual sub-projects here also have upgrade and progression options, such as performing implant surgery based on the first-line limited alienated skeleton, trying to increase the number of muscle fibers, while transforming the shape and structure of the muscles, so that the limbs have extraordinary stretching capabilities.
There are also three types such as "hard scale implantation" on the body surface, "subcutaneous gland implantation" and "sharp tooth sheath implantation", which need to be performed in sequence.
Among them, the "tooth sheath implant" is a rather brutal implantable lethal weapon. After a successful procedure, fine or narrow saw-like teeth can be squeezed out from the scales through muscle peristalsis. This can be used in conjunction with the techniques of the Secret Snake Cult to entangle and cut the opponent. Tan Wang probably only completed the first step, and failed to complete the next two steps.
It seems that when Tan Wang fought against him, his combat power was not "complete". If all the implant surgeries checked above were completed, his combat power would be completely different.
But for the second me, the eight hours at that time was enough for him to spend the whole night with the opponent.
The items above do not list any implants that can directly increase speed. I don’t know whether they do not exist or have never been listed.
But just based on this, even if Tan Wang implants all the above projects, he still won't win, because being slow to get on the front line means life and death, and the result will not be different.
At this time, he looked down and found that there was a note "Internal Purchase List" at the bottom of the paper. This means that the Secret Snake Cult not only transforms its own people, but also sells some special implants to outsiders.
However, seeing that Tan Wang cares so much about a piece of clothing, it seems that the price of this so-called internal shopping list should not be very cheap.
Just then, he heard the sound of a car approaching downstairs. After a while, a security guard came up and said, "Brother Chen, there's a lawyer named Song who said he was asked to come here and that he wants to talk to you."
Gao Ming heard the noise and came out from a nearby lounge. He said, "Cousin, you don't have to come out. I'll talk to him."
Chen Chuan nodded.
Gao Ming and An Bao went downstairs and met a middle-aged lawyer in his forties with slicked-back hair. He introduced himself as Song. Gao Ming came up to shake his hand and said with a smile, "My name is Gao Ming, and I'm Mr. Chen Chuan's attorney. If Mr. Song has anything to discuss, please speak to me directly."
"So you're a lawyer, I wonder what position you're in?"
Gao Ming smiled and said, "Mi Law Firm."
"Mi..." Lawyer Song's expression became more serious. "Okay, then we'll talk slowly."
After the two sat down, Gao Ming motioned for a moment, then pulled a box from under the table and placed it on the desk. He opened it, revealing a wire recorder with adjustments. He pressed the record button, extended his hand as an invitation, and said with a smile, "Lawyer Song, we can begin our conversation."
Two hours later, Lawyer Song drove away.
Gao Ming returned upstairs and told Chen Chuan, "Cousin, they want to invite you over for a talk, and they hope to do so tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Chen Chuanshuo asked, "Do they think I will definitely go?"
Gao Ming smiled and said, "Lawyer Song specifically mentioned your elementary and middle school years, and also mentioned the names of some of your familiar classmates. This is probably a threat."
Chen Chuan nodded. He did have quite a few classmates he was familiar with and on good terms with, but using this as a threat was overthinking. He would not change his behavior because of this, but would only find a way to deal with the perpetrators afterwards.
Sometimes, the more you care about them, the more rampant they become, and the less you care about them, the more wary they become.
Gao Ming said, "I've told Lawyer Song that I need to think about it and will give him a reply before midnight today." He raised his head and said, "Cousin, I suggest you go to the appointment tomorrow. We can resolve this matter sooner. Besides, with less time, they will have less time to prepare, which will make it easier for loopholes to appear."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Let's set it for tomorrow then."
Gao Ming said: "It's just that the specific time and place may not be determined yet."
Chen Chuan said: "It doesn't matter. I won't do nothing."
He thought for a moment, walked to the phone, dialed Cheng Zitong's number, and said after the call was connected: "Teacher, someone from the Mutual Aid Association is here. They want to talk to me. I'm ready to go."
Cheng Zitong said solemnly: "Xiaochuan, what do you need the teacher to do?"
Chen Chuan told him his thoughts.
Cheng Zitong said, "Xiao Chuan, although I know you always do things with moderation, I still say the same thing: you must be careful. I will do my best to cooperate with you."
"Thank you, teacher."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Chuan dialed Director Lei's number again. After waiting for a while, he said, "Director Lei, I have an appointment tomorrow, but things may get out of control by then, so I need to ask you for a favor."
Director Lei said, "I told you that you can always come to me and He Nan if you have any questions."
Chen Chuan told him his request, and the other party agreed without hesitation. After ending the call with Director Lei, he started to make the last call.
"Hello, is this the Police Department? This is Chen Chuan, yes, Captain Nian's nephew. I need to talk to him about something." After the call was connected, he said, "Uncle, there's something I need to tell you in advance..."
After all the calls were over, he slowly put the receiver down on the phone and looked up at Gao Ming. "Gao Ming, you can reply to them now."
Gao Ming nodded, turned and walked out.
In an office on the top floor of the Wuyi Administrative Office Building, a white-haired old man was practicing calligraphy with a two-meter-long brush. A young teacher hurried in and said, "Teacher..."
The white-haired old man didn't look at him. He kept the pen in his hand steady on the paper on the wall and asked, "What's so urgent?"
The young teacher came over and whispered a few words.
"oh?"
The white-haired old man turned around, a gleam in his eyes, and then he threw down the two-meter-long brush and took two steps. "Good, very good."
He said, "Three years ago we didn't have time to react, but not this time. This is not only a good knife, but it's in our own hands. Not bad, really good. Now that the knife is out of its sheath, we can't let it return empty-handed. Let's give it some strength. Okay, let's get those students to move too."
The young teacher was puzzled: "Teacher, are they useful?"
The white-haired old man said: "A large number of people may not be useful, but a large number of people will definitely bring strength. When strength comes together, it becomes a torrent. It all depends on whether this torrent can break through the thick dam."
In the training hall, Gao Ming came back from outside and said, "Cousin, the time is set. It's 4:00 AM tomorrow morning at the old Li'an Machinery factory in the west of the city."
Chen Chuan thought it sounded familiar. After thinking for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, "That place?"
Gao Ming said, "I checked, it's right there."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Tell them I will be there on time." Gao Ming said okay and turned to leave.
After he left, Chen Chuan looked outside. It was already evening and there were clouds of fire appearing there. This meant that tomorrow should be a good day.
He sat down slowly on the cushion and began to guide his internal and external breathing together. As he sat in deep concentration, the scenery outside seemed to be changing slowly but actually quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.
Until one moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the clock not far away, stood up, washed up first, then changed into formal clothes, walked to the knife rack, took the Xuejun Knife in his hand, picked up a box from the ground, and walked out of the building.
Gao Ming was already waiting there. The driver and car sent by He Nan also arrived, and the car door was open.
Chen Chuan glanced upward. The summer night sky was filled with twinkling stars, though a few dark clouds occasionally obscured the starlight. He walked over and got in the car. Gao Ming helped him close the door and gently tapped on the car. The lights in front of the car came on, instantly illuminating the road, and then it slowly drove out.
