Chapter 310 Snake Suit
On May 2, Chen Chuanjie received a contact message from the processing bureau on his phone, asking him to go to the bureau, saying that they had something to ask him.
He thought to himself, “Is it finally here?”
I thought the bureau would contact him within a day or two after Zhao Qian dealt with the matter, but I didn't expect that several days have passed. Maybe the matter was discovered too late?
At this time, the phone rang again. Seeing that it was Ni Qianqian looking for him, he answered, "Sister Ni?"
Ni Qianqian asked, "Did you receive the notice from the bureau wanting to question you?"
"Got it, what do you want to ask?"
"It's about Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian is missing. Did you know?"
Chen Chuan was a little surprised: "Missing?" He knew that Zhao Qian was dead, but he really didn't know that he was missing.
"Yes, that's it."
Ni Qianqian said, "Didn't you accuse him of hiring someone to attack you? Because of this contradiction, some people in the bureau now suspect you're involved."
Chen Chuan said sincerely, "This disappearance has nothing to do with me."
"It doesn't matter if it really does."
Ni Qianqian's tone was full of disdain. "The evidence you provided is all there. Some people don't want to stand up for their own people, but instead are trying to take advantage of this matter. They don't even offer you any comfort. Since they don't consider you one of their own, then you don't need to take them seriously."
Chen Chuan already had an idea in mind, so he asked, "Excuse me, Sister Ni, is there anything I should pay attention to in the questions?"
Ni Qianqian said, "It's nothing. What can they really do to you? They ask their questions, and you just answer yours."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I understand, thank you Sister Ni."
After the call ended, he changed his clothes and came to the headquarters of the processing bureau in Wuding District as agreed. As soon as he arrived at the bureau, a special person invited him into an office, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him some questions. On the surface, he was very polite and did not make the atmosphere too serious.
He was sent out in less than half an hour.
Chen Chuan went outside and on the way to the parking lot to pick up his car, he said to Gao Ming, "Gao Ming, I'm out now. They did ask those questions, but they didn't go into detail, just as you inferred."
Gao Ming's voice came out: "Cousin, they want you to question them, more importantly, they want a process that they have conducted self-examinations, so no matter who comes to ask, you have to explain.
In fact, even if there is direct evidence, they will not reveal the results and target you, the student they invested in, because Zhao Qian is dead after all, and you, cousin, are undoubtedly more valuable now. Once you achieve the third limit, they will pretend that this incident never happened.
No matter how you look at it, the Third Limit is a watershed.”
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "It won't be long."
Inside the processing bureau building, a middle-aged man with unusually bright eyes, wearing a uniform and a wide-brimmed hat, stood at a high window, watching Chen Chuan walking outside.
Someone behind him said, "Director Wu, this must be related to him."
Director Wu said, "Zhao Qian is already dead. There's no point in investigating further. And if Zhao Qian was indeed murdered, then we should be thankful that we'll have a comrade with great potential in the future."
The people behind him expressed their doubts. "Will he be one of our colleagues? I think he's more likely to join the Bureau of General Affairs."
Director Wu said, "Comrades are like-minded people, regardless of their location. I can sense that the rewards he can bring to the Bureau over the next few years will far exceed the resources we invest in him."
The person behind him didn't say anything else.
Director Wu watched Chen Chuan drive away and asked in a deep voice, "What did Lianwei Chongyu say?"
The person behind him immediately replied: "No response at the moment."
"It seems they have already made plans to give up on Zhao Qian. That's the end of the matter."
Director Wu looked at the eye certificate and saw an image there, a picture of Zhao Qian's head. He said in a deep voice, "Send a report to the higher-ups to confirm that Zhao Qian, a member of the Zhao family in Yangzhi City, has died. Enter it in the case file and seal it."
"yes."
As Chen Chuan was driving back, Ni Qianqian called again, saying, "I have good news for you. The bureau has just decided to increase your Yaoguang quota by one hour per month."
Chen Chuan was slightly surprised and said, "I don't know the reason."
Ni Qianqian curled her lips and said, "Beating him with a stick will earn you a candied date."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Then you can hit me a few more times."
Ni Qianqian couldn't help but giggle. Chen Chuan knew that she had a low sense of humor, so he waited calmly.
After a while, Ni Qianqian finally calmed down and said, "Well, let me tell you something. That exchange meeting was quite successful. I see those little guys are also very dissatisfied with you and want to fight back. Fists, kicks, weapons are all welcome. As usual, I will pay you more than last time. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Ni, I'll consider it."
On the top floor of Xuangong Building, Assistant Ling sat in the garden hall, his fingers tapping beside the chair as he used the boundary password to contact someone. "Yes, Zhao Qian is missing."
He smiled and said, "There aren't that many coincidences in this world. Whether he achieved this through medication or simply possesses this ability, it proves that he's suitable for inclusion in our plan."
He watched as the simulated colorful birds flew past before him, folding their wings and landing on the ground. He smiled and said, "Of course not now. Only when you truly enter the third limit will you be qualified to face the truth."
After Chen Chuan returned to the dormitory, he felt much more relaxed. Zhao Qian was not only the threat he had just faced, but also the continuation of the Yangzhi City incident.
Zhao Qian’s death meant that this matter could come to an end.
However, he guessed that someone must have intentionally revealed his information to Zhao Qian. Although it was difficult to be completely sure who this person was, he unconsciously thought of someone.
He remembered Teacher Wu's reminder before his death, so he still had to remain vigilant.
As for the matter of Senior Shen's sister, Zhao Qian was dead, but there might be clues in that implant. We just had to wait and see what news we got from Wu Bei. If we couldn't find anything there, we could think of other ways. At least without Zhao Qian as an obstacle, it would be much easier to investigate.
In the following days, Chen Chuan continued his daily training and study. As his evaluation score improved, many books and materials that were not open to the public became available to him, including some records from old times and valuable rare books. He would read them whenever he had free time.
One day before the holiday, Cao Guiqi's housekeeper Uncle Ding contacted him.
"The young master has already contacted the people from the Secret Snake Cult. Due to the special nature of the service project, they will send someone to meet with you, Brother Chen. When Brother Chen is free, we can make an appointment."
Chen Chuan changed his mind and said, "I can do it tomorrow."
Uncle Ding said, "Then let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is a day off. Brother Chen can come over at 2 pm if it's convenient for him."
Chen Chuan said yes and agreed.
The next day, after noon, he drove to Motie Mountain, and the people sent by the Secret Snake Cult had arrived early.
This was a handsome man with skin as white as jade, but there were lines on his exposed face and neck, which were obvious implants. His eyes had also changed into snake-shaped pupils, and his hair was tied up in a bun. If it had not been explained in advance, at first glance, one would have mistaken him for a woman.
After they met, he introduced himself, "I am Zou Handan, a member of the Secret Snake Cult. Mr. Cao recommended me to act as your guarantor and will be responsible for servicing your project, Mr. Chen."
His voice has a hint of resonance and a unique rhythm. It feels like someone on the stage is talking to you.
"But I need to tell you in advance, Mr. Chen, that although the success rate of this service provided by our Secret Snake Cult is quite high, it also carries certain risks. If you are not careful or take improper precautions, it can be fatal. Therefore, we will provide you with some information, Mr. Chen, and please review it and confirm it again."
As he spoke, he took a scroll, placed it on the table, and pushed it forward. "This is the information we provided. Mr. Chen, please take a look. If you agree, just sign it after reading it."
Chen Chuan picked up the scroll, untied the knot, and opened it in front of him. The entire content was half picture and half text, and it mentioned the changes from its origin to the present, making it clear at a glance.
Early fighters did not have the conveniences of today during training, and often spent their entire lives chasing and competing for secret medicines. In order to break free from such shackles, the Secret Snake Cult had an idea as early as the ancient times, which was to cultivate a special kind of snake to assist fighters in their training.
However, despite repeated attempts from generation to generation, the snake species could never be created satisfactorily, even after a long period of cultivation. This was not until the new era, when a breakthrough in biotechnology was achieved after the algae liquid revolution, that it was finally completed.
The scroll is decorated with a series of pictures drawn in ancient line drawings. The first picture is about catching snakes. The ancestor of the Secret Snake Sect, carrying a snake basket on his back, goes deep into the mountains to catch snakes.
The snakes in the pictures are all extremely exaggerated, some are bizarre in shape, some are huge, and some have wings on their backs. The ancestors of the Secret Snake Cult are often unable to resist them, and often have to go through untold hardships to catch the right one.
The second picture shows snake refining, which involves feeding snakes with various rare medicinal herbs, as well as feeding snakes with blood and body, which are practices from the old times.
The third picture shows a man being swallowed by a snake, and the fourth picture shows the snake lying dead on the ground, and the man tearing the snake's skin to get out.
"Snake Shedding Technique."
Zou Handan waited until he saw this before he slowly said, “The ancestors of the Secret Snake Sect believed that snakes shed their skins to be reborn. After ninety-nine days, if they encounter thunder, they will transform into dragons. And if a person uses snake skin as a weapon, sheds it and transforms it, they can also gain their life.”
He looked at Chen Chuan with his snake pupils. "As you can see, Mr. Chen, this service requires the strange snake cultivated by my sect to swallow Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen needs to stay in the snake's belly for a sufficient period of time to achieve the effect of this service. I wonder if Mr. Chen is willing to do this?"
