Chapter 220 Layout
Three days later, Chen Chuan received a notice from Director Lei, so he packed some things and went to Henan's private training hall next to Baihe River.
He got out of the car and walked to the lobby of the guild hall. He Nan was waiting for him in front. He greeted her, "Senior Sister."
He Nan smiled and said, "Go in, Lao Lei and the others are waiting for you."
Chen Chuan nodded to her and walked in. After passing the screen, he saw Director Lei, Guan Yuming, and a portly man in his fifties sitting there.
The man looked smiling and his hair was a little sparse, but judging from his expression and posture during the conversation, he should be an official of the same class as them.
Director Lei said, "Student Chen is here. Let me introduce you. Director Guan, you know this person. This is Director Wang from the Communications Bureau."
Director Wang looked over with a smile and said, "Student Chen, at your review meeting the other day, our Communications Bureau extended a sincere invitation to you. If you come, we will definitely give you the best benefits and treatment. Hey, our Communications Bureau has many young and beautiful female employees. You young people will definitely get along well."
Guan Yuming joked, "Old Wang, you're quite shameless to poach people right in front of me."
Director Wang said nonchalantly, "If you don't have thick skin, you won't get any meat."
Director Lei called to Chen Chuan, "Come and sit down."
Chen Chuan thanked him, nodded to Director Guan and Director Wang, and sat down in the seat opposite the three of them. He Nan came in and poured him tea, and filled the glasses for the three of them. Then he went out and closed the door gently.
Guan Yuming then said, "Zhu Zhengzhang is looking for you?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Director Wang smiled and said, "Our new Chief Zhu has some ideas."
Guan Yuming said: "If he can solve the problems that were not solved when he took office, it will be good for him."
They wanted multiple departments to join forces to deal with the esoteric sects and resistance organizations, and they couldn't get around the Director of Civil Affairs. However, he had not expressed his position before, and calling Chen Chuan over was actually an implicit support. They could understand this approach. He had just arrived and the situation was unclear, so he was very cautious about his safety.
But in this matter, this is enough. As long as we don't set obstacles for them or hold them back, they can get things done on their own.
Director Lei said to Chen Chuan: "Everyone here is from the team that dealt with Mo Lan. You can trust us, so feel free to speak directly."
Director Wang smiled and said, "As for our Communications Bureau, we took advantage of the favorable situation this time. While the channels for multi-party cooperation are still available, we have teamed up with several city communications bureaus to build a network. Our efforts have paid off. In the past few days, we have clearly intercepted a telegram from the resistance organization.
Although the deciphered content is just some code words, the intensity is much higher than before. There is no doubt that they will take action in the near future. According to analysis by some intelligence experts, their target is likely to be a major transportation route.
He looked at Director Lei and said, "This matches the information Director Lei provided."
Guan Yuming also spoke up: "A few days ago, explosives were frequently discovered near the city center. The purpose is too obvious: to distract the police."
He then told Chen Chuan: "Our strategy this time is to let them act first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop, solving the chronic problems that have plagued Yangzhi City for years in one fell swoop!
But we can't mobilize too many people. Over the years, it is certain that the resistance organization has spies in various departments, and our familiar faces should also be within their attention, so we can't make any big moves.
There are also very few people within the organization who can be trusted and competent for this matter. However, classmate Chen, you are capable enough to deal with Tan Wang, a third-level expert, on your own. Therefore, this time, we have decided to let you be the main force to handle this matter. What are your thoughts? "
Director Wang smiled and said, "Several of our departments will jointly commission you to take over. What do you think? If you have any concerns, please let me know."
Chen Chuan's attitude was very clear and he replied decisively: "Students should contribute to this matter." Now he was short of money and the opportunity to increase the overlapping time. If he could also deal with some hostile elements by the way, he would be more than happy to do so.
Guan Yuming then solemnly warned: "Ordinary people will not be your opponents, but this time the enemy may be different, you have to be careful."
Chen Chuan nodded. This time, in addition to resisting the members of the organization, they also had to deal with the esoteric rituals. He really needed to be careful. He thought about it and said, "This time I want to bring a team with me."
He looked at Guan Yuming. "They are all absolutely trustworthy. Last time, they helped me to eliminate a group of armed groups in the wilderness, and they also cooperated with me in a certain operation called by the state. This should be recorded in the police station."
Guan Yuming immediately agreed, "Okay, that would be even better. To be honest, we're still a little worried about you fighting alone."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "I still need to apply to the Police Bureau for some equipment and authority support."
Guan Yuming waved his hand. "Whatever equipment, weapons, or permissions you need, the Police Bureau will give them all to you this time. I can also give you an explanation in advance..."
He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "This time, our main goal is to eliminate the resistance organization and the esoteric expert. The losses encountered in the process are within the acceptable range. We can accept it. Sometimes, this is necessary."
As he spoke, his voice deepened, "Xiao Chuan, sometimes you shouldn't worry too much, otherwise it would be irresponsible to yourself."
Chen Chuan understood what he meant. This time the main purpose was to eliminate the two mentioned above. The rest of the people encountered did not have to be protected and could be abandoned if necessary.
He understood this statement because it was hard to predict what kind of situation he would encounter, and sometimes the more he wanted, the less he would get, so he had to make some choices.
He said, "Closing the bureau, I understand."
He will do his best to protect those innocent people if he can, but for those he cannot, he can only ensure that he and his team survive.
Director Wang said with a chuckle, "Student Chen is now famous. He once single-handedly dealt with Fang Dawei's gang. You've probably registered with the resistance organization, and they might be keeping an eye on you. So before you prepare, you'd better find an excuse to leave Yangzhi City."
Guan Yuming said, "The Police Bureau will be issuing bounties on some armed groups in the wilderness. Mr. Chen, you and your team can head out to the wilderness first, bringing your radio with you. When the time is right, head to your target location. The specific arrangements are up to you. I'll have my deputy, Xiaobei, liaise with you on anything you need."
Chen Chuan said hello.
Director Lei then said, "Regarding the esoteric rituals you might encounter, I and the examiners from the bureau will be responsible for resolving them. However, this esoteric ritual is something we've never encountered before, and it might not go as planned. This involves some risk, so we might need to handle the situation ourselves."
Stay here for the next two days. I'll teach you a few simple methods to break through esoteric rituals, and I'll also teach you some counter-rituals, which might be useful later."
When Chen Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but become interested. He had read a lot of information before, but because of the lack of materials, he had never really learned how to operate it. Since Director Lei was willing to teach, that couldn't be better.
He didn't seek to become very professional in this area; simply being able to use it was enough.
At this moment, he saw that the three people might still have something to say, so he didn't stay here for long. He said hello to the three people and left.
After he left, Director Wang exclaimed, "Student Chen is very calm. He's a very good young man."
Guan Yuming said, "Student Chen's strength is unquestionable. He also holds a Class B Unlimited Defense Certificate. He was able to obtain this certificate in his first year at Wu Yi. I have never seen this before."
Director Wang nodded. This was also the reason why he agreed that Chen Chuan would be the main force of this operation. He had been the director of the Communications Bureau for so many years and was familiar with a lot of information from all aspects. He had never heard of anyone getting an unlimited defense certificate B in the first year.
The key is to take down a three-limit fighter from the central city in the battle. This is incredible. Not to mention the future prospects, just at the moment, it is the combat power that can be counted in Yangzhi City.
Guan Yuming added, "In addition, I will ask the instructors in the bureau to be prepared at all times as a safeguard to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Director Wang was now completely relieved. "That's good. After we get rid of this group of people, we should be able to have peace for a few years."
Guan Yuming didn't reply, but just picked up the tea and took a sip silently.
On the other side, after Chen Chuan came out of the living room, he was taken to a study by He Nan. There were many books here related to esoteric rituals. When he was looking at the books, Director Lei came in from outside and asked him to sit down.
After Director Lei sat down, he got straight to the point: "I've been observing Xieshan these past few days, and I've roughly guessed what that person is going to do."
He said in a deep voice: "This kind of large-scale ceremony requires filling in the details. He does not have sufficient manpower and material resources now, so he can only borrow help.
Xieshan was once a base for some esoteric cults and a frequent haunt of ghost stories. This person may be trying to utilize some old rituals left over from the past, which may still exist there, to become a key point for some promotion. This would save him the trouble of making arrangements and achieve a surprising effect.
Chen Chuan suddenly remembered the secret ritual he had discovered when he was on a commissioned mission, which trapped a mountain ghost. He felt that this made a lot of sense and nodded unconsciously. Director Lei was very perceptive and looked at him and asked, "Have you seen anything similar?"
Chen Chuan did not hide anything and told about the ceremony he had witnessed.
Director Lei thought for a moment and said slowly, "What you encountered should be an ancient esoteric ritual of the Head Worship Sect, not the Flying Head Sect. Strictly speaking, the Flying Head Sect is not an esoteric religion. It is just a group activity triggered by strange stories, which then led to religious worship due to fear and helplessness.
Strictly speaking, the Head Worship Cult believes that all heads hold secrets leading to the depths of the universe, and that any head is a tool for them. Based on this theory, flying heads can be studied and utilized, so they are different from their own Flying Head Cult.
After hearing this, Chen Chuan was enlightened. He asked, "Director Lei, can these old rituals be found?"
Director Lei shook his head and said, "Xieshan is so vast, we don't have the manpower and resources to search it. Moreover, searching the mountain in advance might alert those people, making it even more difficult to deal with this hidden enemy in the future. But fortunately, we have another way to target them, but this one may require you to take some risks."
