Chapter 303 Action
On April 17, Chen Chuan left Xuangong Building early in the morning, drove out of the central city, headed north along the National Avenue, and then came to a highway checkpoint far away from Ximu.
At this point, the biological field has no effect anymore, and the world has become completely silent.
He did not pass the checkpoint. After stopping the car, he came to a public telephone booth on the roadside.
After walking in, he picked up the phone, put in a dozen coins, and dialed a phone number. After a while, a voice came from the other end, "Who are you looking for?"
Chen Chuan said, "Chang's Hotel? I'm looking for Brother Chang." After a pause, he said, "I'm Chen Chuan."
"Oh, is that Brother Chen? I remember you." The waitress opposite seemed to have seen Chen Chuan before. She said, "Brother Chen, wait a minute. I'll go get the boss."
After waiting for a while, it seemed like someone was shouting on the other end of the phone, and then a quick and light sound of footsteps quickly came to the receiver. It felt like Chang Ba's voice came out the moment he picked up the phone.
"Brother Chen, is that you? Haha, why did you think of calling me? I remember you wrote to me last year saying you went to Central City? You should be in Central City now, right? How are you doing?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Brother Chang, we're in Central City now. Everything is fine."
"That's great." Chang Ba sighed with a hint of envy. "Central City is really nice. I haven't had the chance to go there yet. I heard it's different from the outside world. What do you think?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Well, if I have to be honest, it's like there's a devil sleeping next door to everyone in Central City. Sometimes people become devils, and sometimes the devil becomes people again."
Chang Ba's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Is that really that exaggerated? But I don't think it's an exaggeration. Hey, if you say Central City is like what you said, then why does everyone want to go there?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Maybe it's because there's a stairway to the sun here too."
Chang Ba thought about it and said seriously, "I understand."
"But not everyone wants to go. Brother Chang, don't you want to go?"
"Of course, of course I don't want to go, hahahaha..."
Chang Ba laughed for a while, then cleared his throat and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, what's the matter with you calling?"
Chen Chuan said, "Is Teacher He here?"
"Uncle He? He's here. Are you looking for him? I'll call him. Wait."
Chen Chuan waited patiently. After more than ten minutes, the microphone was picked up and He Xiaoxing's deep voice came out: "Student Chen?"
Chen Chuan could imagine the tall, majestic figure with loose hair behind the microphone when he heard the voice. He said, "Teacher He, it's me. My student is planning to take action against Zhao Qian in the near future."
He Xiaoxing didn't ask the reason, but just asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"
Chen Chuan explained his ideas and the general implementation plan. Some of the details were complicated, so he explained them in detail. Finally, he said, "I'm still missing one key point. Teacher He, I want a photo of Senior Shen."
He Xiaoxing said in a deep voice, "I'll send it to you in the next two days. Remember to send me the specific date and time of the action by telegram after you confirm it."
Chen Chuan's heart moved, and he said "OK". After ending the call, he hung up the phone. He understood what He Xiaoxing meant, and it seemed that he wanted to get involved in this matter.
However, among those who were involved in the murder of Shen Zheng, only Zhao Qian, who was directly involved at the time, is still outside. It is time to put an end to this matter once and for all.
After exiting the phone booth, he returned to the Gard car, started the car, and headed back to the central city. A quarter of an hour later, as the central city became increasingly visible in the sea fog ahead, the boundary began to recover. He contacted Gao Ming, who was waiting for news, and said, "Gao Ming, we can start now."
On April 20th, Lianwei regained control of the company building.
Zhao Qian was in contact with a business client when an urgent call suddenly came in from his assistant. He was very unhappy and apologized to the client, then asked, "What's going on?"
The assistant's somewhat nervous and hurried voice came out: "Supervisor, the internal work review team is here and they are heading to your office."
Zhao Qian's expression was startled. What were they here for?
The Internal Work Audit Team was a review group assigned by the head office to the central city of Jibei Road. They were responsible for recording, reporting, and monitoring. When necessary, they would convey and implement decisions made by the head office. However, they had little presence and would not appear in front of him unless...
A female assistant's hurried voice of dissuasion was heard outside, followed by footsteps. The office door was pushed open and three people in dark company uniforms walked in. They were two men and one woman. They all had obvious lines on their cheeks and no expression on their faces.
One of the men came up to him, stood in front of the desk with his legs slightly apart, and waited for him to stand up before saying in a businesslike tone:
"Manager Zhao, this morning, the company received an investigation letter from the Processing Bureau, accusing you of the murder of a candidate from the Processing Bureau. We are questioning you on behalf of the head office. Please provide a reasonable explanation for this matter."
Zhao Qian's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any abnormality on his face. He said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for alarming the head office, but this is a complete slander."
Finally, the woman immediately wrote down his answer with a pen, and at the same time pressed the boundary card with her hand, as if she was communicating with someone, which invisibly exerted a sense of pressure.
The man looked at him and continued to ask expressionlessly, "The Bureau requires you to accept their summons and submit to an investigation within two days. Do you have anything to say to the company?"
Zhao Qian said solemnly, "Please convey to all directors of the company that I will handle this matter promptly and will not affect the company's business."
The man said, "Manager Zhao, we will convey your words truthfully. The company will evaluate your business capabilities and provide you with suggestions for handling your case. The evaluation form will be sent to you within two days."
Zhao Qian said: "I will obey the company's arrangements."
The man said, "The inquiries are over. Manager Zhao and Director Xing have something to discuss with you. Please contact us later. Goodbye." After saying that, the three of them left without looking back.
After they left, Zhao Qian's expression darkened. He didn't know what had gone wrong. How had he been exposed? How much did the Bureau of Investigation know?
Logically speaking, his request should have gone through the platform, so he would never expose himself.
But it’s useless to think about these things now, I have to find a way to deal with this matter.
He immediately contacted Director Xing, who was nominally the top manager of the Central City branch, but in reality he did not work here for a long time and stayed at the head office.
After the call was connected, an impatient voice message came out: "Zhao Qian, regardless of whether you did this or not, please settle this as soon as possible. The company's escort mission for this month is just around the corner. I don't want to hear any more news like this before or after this."
After leaving the message, the call was immediately disconnected.
Zhao Qian thought for a while with a cold face. He walked to the window and contacted someone. When the call was connected, he asked, "How's the investigation going?"
"Boss, I haven't noticed anything wrong yet. His work and rest schedule is very regular, and I haven't seen him meeting anyone special. The only thing he does is go to Motie Mountain once a month.
I checked and found out that this person should be the teacher assigned to him by the Bureau, but the internal defense of Motie Mountain is very strict, so the specific identity of that person is still unknown."
Zhao Qian said in a deep voice, "Since there is no result yet, there is no need to investigate for the time being. Wait for my news."
"It seems like something's wrong with you, boss. I'll stop now, as you say."
Zhao Qian took a deep breath and decided not to attack Chen Chuan for the time being. Since the Bureau of Investigation had made the matter public, they would definitely keep an eye on him. Even the slightest movement would cause greater trouble.
But he had just dealt with the previous troubles, and now the processing bureau was targeting him again. This was enough to make those who were eyeing his position in the company ready to make a move again.
He must deal with these in a timely manner.
He thought carefully for a long time, and finally used the boundary to contact someone. The call was connected after a while, but no sound came out. However, he knew that the other party must be listening, so he said, "Help me again."
After a while, a weak girl's voice came out: "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Qian said calmly, "The company's evaluation season is just around the corner, and I need to successfully complete the last escort mission of this season. After this, I will apply for a transfer out of Jibei Road and give up this position."
Seeing that the other party remained silent, he continued, "I know you hate me, but I am very important to you. Now you don't even have a single person you can trust outside. Even if you hate me, I can still be your eyes and ears and your arm outside."
After a while, the girl's voice sounded again: "Okay."
After Zhao Qian ended the call, he looked ahead with a cold gaze. Things were not over yet.
Two days later, on April 22, Zhao Qian left Lianwei Zhongyu Company and drove to the processing bureau with his private lawyer to accept the bureau's investigation and inquiries.
He has been here several times since the collapse of Molan Company. This time, the processing bureau was still very rude to him and asked him to produce his credentials for inspection during the questioning.
However, this was rejected by his private lawyer on the grounds of suspected disclosure of company secrets, and he asked the processing bureau to produce real evidence of the accusation instead of intimidating his employer.
The people from the processing bureau only presented some specious evidence, but their words and deeds hinted to him that as long as he cooperated to a certain extent, they would not cause him any trouble during this period or in the future.
Zhao Qian understood what the Bureau wanted him to do, but agreeing to it would be a bad choice. Without his identity as a company manager, he would be of no value to the Bureau, and it would be easier to control him. On the contrary, if he insisted, he could save himself, so he did not respond at all.
The processing bureau obviously did not expect him to surrender in one go, so they made him stay in the processing bureau for twelve hours before releasing him and asking him to continue to be questioned tomorrow.
At this moment, Chen Chuan had already received the result from Ni Qianqian. He said to Gao Ming, "The Bureau of Processing really doesn't intend to deal with Zhao Qian."
Gao Ming said, "As expected, a mid-level manager in charge of major affairs is very valuable, and the handling bureau will not give up so easily. If Zhao Qian is dealt with, it will cut off a line. But fortunately, he has come to the surface now, and they will not be able to take action against you in the near future.
Even if it is necessary, we should wait until he is out. If he is outside and someone attacks you, he can be cleared of suspicion and the Jibei Road Central City will not be able to track him down for the time being."
Chen Chuan said calmly, "He won't have this opportunity." At this time, Wu Bei's excited and nervous voice came from the interface: "Brother Chen, he's out of the processing bureau."
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, Brother Wu, I'll leave the rest to you."
