Chapter 205 Legacy
After tidying up a bit at the dock, Chen Chuan and Lao Feng took Luo Qi's body and suitcase and drove away.
Less than ten minutes after they left, another black car drove over.
The car stopped outside and a man wearing a white mask got out of it. He walked to the dock and took a few glances, but only saw various signs of damage on the ground. He was silent for a while, then turned and left.
On Chen Chuan's side, Lao Feng was keeping a vigilant eye on the outside on the way back, but fortunately there were no accidents along the way. However, when they were about to return to the city, they suddenly heard a loud noise that seemed to come from a distant place, and they couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from.
Old Feng reacted quickly, his voice filled with a mixture of melancholy and excitement, "Looks like Old Cao has taken action."
Chen Chuan asked, "Special Envoy, is that the sound of artillery?"
Lao Feng hummed, and then he said, "Do you know why the Molan Company suddenly withdrew? We previously released a message that two warships were coming from the north, one of which was a troop transport. The troop transport was real, but there weren't that many people on it.
But Molan Company didn't dare to gamble, because even if the troops arriving this time were few, there was no guarantee that more wouldn't arrive later. Once they were surrounded by the army, none of them would be able to escape.
So he will definitely leave!
Combining the intelligence we collected previously with what we learned from our insider in Molan Company, we know that they will choose to evacuate from the north this time, and will most likely use some kind of flying vehicle.
In order to capture these people with the least casualties, we communicated with the military more than a year ago, built railway tracks all the way to the outer edge of Zhangshan, and drove a sufficient number of railway guns there to bombard these people.
If the plan succeeds, the moment the shells hit the ground, most of the Molan Company's personnel and key elites will be wiped out. Even if there are some that slip through the net, they will not pose much of a threat."
Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. This plan didn't seem complicated. Apart from coordinating various departments, it was entirely the role of intelligence.
The last step is particularly critical. When to fire the cannon is very important, and someone must make an accurate report. This may be the credit of the insider.
But in this case, it might be difficult for the traitor to escape.
Old Feng stepped on the accelerator, speeding up the car and saying, "We should get news soon. If the plan succeeds, we will have completed most of the mission assigned to us."
Chen Chuan looked at him. Most of the task was completed. The elimination of the main figures of Molan Company was only half of the task. It seemed that as he guessed, this operation had other important purposes besides Molan Company.
In a garden mansion somewhere in the south of Yangzhi City, Yi Bo has been at home these days, but the situation outside is changing so fast that it is hard to keep up.
After returning that day, he heard the news from the Court of Appeal and was shocked to find that Chen Chuan had come out unharmed, and that public opinion was completely in his favor.
That's when he sensed something was wrong.
He is a native of Yangzhi and is well aware of the influence of Molan Company and local powerful families on Yangzhi. However, the channels for public opinion are now lost, and everyone can openly curse them, but Molan Company has no response to this situation. This is very abnormal.
He knew that Molan Company might have been in a difficult situation after its headquarters was attacked a few years ago, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. At least in the Yangzhi area, it is not an exaggeration to say that Molan Company has absolute power.
The reason why he retreated in front of the court that day was also for this reason. For the sake of Chen Chuan alone, there was no need to offend such a behemoth.
However, today, when he learned the news of Molan Company's withdrawal, he understood that a larger force must have attacked Molan, otherwise it would be impossible for it to leave the nest it had been operating for so long.
And who can do this in Molan’s home court? The answer can only be the Dashun Republic Government.
He frowned, "So, Chen Chuan standing so far out front, is he already connected to the higher-ups, or is it just a coincidence..."
He thought about it and felt that it must be just a coincidence, because Chen Chuan had been in Yangzhi since he was a child, and his resume was very clean. Moreover, it was impossible to give such an important point of strength to a teenage student.
"What good luck..."
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known Molan's current situation, why did he retreat in the first place? He could have done her a favor for nothing. The lady's matter might have been settled by now.
"No, there's still a chance..."
He took a cup of tea from the table and placed it in front of him. There was no hope for Chen Chuanwuyi before he graduated, because after what happened at Molan Company, he might even look down on the company and think that his choice was correct.
It is normal for young people to have such thoughts, but the world is ultimately ruled by giant corporations and the government. Even if you join the government, without support and connections, your advancement will be limited, no matter how capable you are. After hitting a few walls, you will probably have a clear understanding.
At that time...
At this moment, a muffled sound like thunder suddenly came from a distance. Because the sound was so sudden, his hand holding the teacup shook and a lot of tea spilled on his chest.
"What's going on?"
He was annoyed at first, then his expression became serious: "Is this... the sound of a cannonball?"
Has the government started taking action against Molan Company?
As a member of the company, even though he has retired now, he still felt an inexplicable uneasiness when thinking about this matter, and muttered: "Looks like I have to call the lady..."
Lao Feng and Chen Chuan had already taken a car back to the headquarters of the Police Bureau.
After getting off the car, Lao Feng found a familiar captain and gave him some instructions, then took Chen Chuan directly to the combat meeting room.
Commissioner Cao was standing behind the table, waiting to confirm the final results. When he saw the two people come in, his sharp eyes relaxed a little and asked, "Have you dealt with the people? Have you brought the things back?"
Old Feng lifted up Luo Qi's suitcase and gestured, "Everything is here. It's never been opened. Luo Qi's body has also been brought back. I asked Old Zhao to deal with it."
Commissioner Cao nodded.
Lao Feng said, "Student Chen solved the Luoqi in just over a quarter of an hour. That's not easy."
Commissioner Cao looked at Chen Chuan and said, "I told you I won't record this, and no one will know you killed Luo Qi. However, I, Cao, don't let anyone do things for nothing. I will compensate you afterwards. If you want anything, you can write a request form and I'll approve it if conditions permit."
Lao Feng smiled and said, "It's rare for Lao Cao to be so generous. You should think about it carefully. There's no need to rush."
Chen Chuan nodded and asked, "Excuse me, Commissioner Cao, do you have any other tasks for me?"
Commissioner Cao said, "There are no more for now. You can go back first, but don't leave Yangzhi. If the national conscription ends, someone will come to officially notify you."
Chen Chuan could roughly think that no matter whether the problems of Molan Company were solved or not, he would not need to get involved in future matters. He greeted the two of them and walked out with the Xuejun Knife.
The two watched him leave, and Lao Feng said with emotion: "What a good young man."
Then he said seriously, "Old Cao, you didn't know this because you weren't there. He took a lot of drugs to suppress his potential for this battle. He was fearless when fighting Luo Qi. It reminded me of our youth, when we were all so passionate. We should give such a young man enough rewards."
Commissioner Cao said, "You don't need to remind me of this. I will arrange it."
Lao Feng looked at him and asked again, "Are you sure?"
Commissioner Cao said, "The results have been confirmed. The bombardment and explosions have essentially eliminated the Blood Ink Guards and combat biological weapons from the Molan Company. There are almost no survivors at the scene. One of the two airships crashed, and the other, which hadn't had time to dock, quickly evacuated after seeing the explosion. Their target is likely the Chaos Area."
When Old Feng heard the result, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it again, took a few steps forward, and asked in a low voice, "Can we get it?"
Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice, "I've already sent someone there. That thing isn't so easily destroyed. If it's carried with them this time, we'll definitely find it."
Lao Feng asked, "Are you at ease here?"
Commissioner Cao said, "I asked Lao Hong to take a team with him."
Lao Feng nodded. "That's good. I guess the other companies haven't reacted yet. Once Lao Hong brings the stuff back, everything will be settled."
The two of them waited from dusk till midnight, but there was no news. Just when the pointer was about to point to twelve o'clock, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and a sturdy and strong man walked in, carrying a metal box that was not completely wiped clean and was covered with cigarette ash.
Commissioner Cao looked at him and asked, "How was it? Did you encounter any problems on the way?"
The man replied, "No, everything went smoothly." He lifted the metal box and placed it on the table. He said solemnly, "Commissioner, the things should be inside."
"And..." He hesitated.
"What?"
“When we came here, we found that the land seemed to have turned red.”
"Turns red?"
At this time, Old Feng looked up and said, "Lao Cao, it might be that kind of thing. I heard that the Molan Company has been collecting it. This place was once the ancestral land of the Maca people. If this thing is leaked, it is possible to cause this result."
Commissioner Cao asked, "Is the scene cordoned off?"
Lao Hong replied, "It's blocked, and the road leading there is also patrolled by the police."
Commissioner Cao didn't ask any more questions. His eyes fell on the box. He seemed to have known the lock code for a long time. He went up and slowly turned the key. After a few minutes, he heard a click and the box opened.
He slowly lifted the lid of the box, revealing a square piece of paper that looked like a blueprint, but the page was slightly reflective, like a thin transparent jade plate. Many subtle and intricate graphics could be seen on it, and every detail seemed to require a magnifying glass to be seen clearly. Just looking at it like that made people feel dizzy.
He stared at these things and said slowly, "Back then, Tianhe Mining was split into more than twenty companies. Sun Shang, the business manager at the time, returned to China and founded the Molan Gaoling Company. He was suspected of inheriting some of Tianhe Mining's legacy, and now it seems to be true."
