Chapter 355 Internal and External Affairs (Happy New Year's Eve to Everyone!)
When the Gard car was driving back, Chen Chuan deliberately turned to the original site of the Molan Building, and found that this place had indeed become the location of Yuan'an Company.
As an arms company, Yuan'an's security capabilities are also extremely strong. It has a more elite security force than Molan Company. Armed patrol cars pass by from time to time, and there are transport vehicles and armed vehicles parked in the square ready to be dispatched at any time.
However, unlike Yuan'an Company and Molan Company, this seems to be just a company base. It has no industries or factories near the city, and does not deal with the city's top leaders.
The main thing to do is to maintain the Yuanwang Port in the east and the construction of the northern railway, as if they are preparing for something.
After leaving here, he went to the telegraph office and sent a telegram to He Xiaoxing.
Because He Xiaoxing had told him in a previous telegram contact that in addition to the breathing method, the Hongluo Breathing Method also has a set of application methods, but only fighters of the third level can master it. Now he has reached this limit, so he decided to ask again to see if he can learn this set of methods.
After coming out, he returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw two little guys lying on the sofa, holding their cheeks, and playing with a cross chess piece he brought back.
Chao Ming was lying on the sofa, seemingly also watching the chess game. When he saw him come in, he immediately raised his body, chirped, flapped his wings, jumped down from the sofa, walked all the way to his side, and climbed onto his shoulder.
Chen Chuan walked to the side of the telephone. There was a crooked note written on the side: "Brother Ding Jiao, call me at three o'clock." He smiled, knowing that it was written by his cousin Nian Lu. Although Nian Mo was also very smart, he was more playful and could not write these words completely.
So he picked up the phone and called back. As soon as Ding Jiao answered, he immediately said that he had called everyone and they would have a good time together tomorrow, and go boating and watch a movie.
He agreed.
Since it's vacation, just relax.
He felt that after he returned to the central city, he would not have such a relaxing and leisurely time for a long time.
Just as he hung up the phone and was about to leave, it suddenly rang again. He picked it up and asked, and a cheerful voice came from the other end.
"Junior? I heard you're back?"
Chen Chuan laughed, "Brother Wei? Yes, I just got back yesterday."
Wei Changan said, "Junior, you didn't even tell me you were coming back. Brother Wei should have treated you to a meal anyway. Are you being so reserved with Brother Wei?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Of course not. I was just thinking of looking for Brother Wei and the people from my original team. I wanted to invite you all to get together."
Wei Changan said, "This is easy. After you go to the central city, we will often meet each other and sometimes work together on commissions. Just leave it to me, Brother Wei. I'll tell you when we're all here."
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, I'll leave it to Brother Wei then."
After chatting with Wei Changan for a few more words, he hung up the phone, went to his room, took out the sedative he needed to take, swallowed it, practiced breathing techniques for a while, and suddenly felt refreshed.
Then he took out the book "Zhu Yi Kao" from his suitcase and slowly flipped through it while sitting on the bed.
After he restrained his aura, he no longer had that captivating feeling, but his spirit became even more outstanding, and his mind seemed to have become more agile than before.
Because there is no border to check, I can only read the book in vertical version. But after reading it for a while, I gradually got used to it, and it seems that reading it this way seems to have more meaning.
Most of the content here talks about how to fight against strange visions. The things that many people encounter are extremely strange and bizarre. It is eerie and terrifying to read, and it can make people feel cold in their hearts even on a hot day.
But some people are very interesting.
For example, there was a strange man named Liu Cai, whose stories he particularly loved to read. He was so sleepy that he even practiced martial arts in his dreams. Sometimes his hands and feet would move spontaneously, and he would even wander out of the house at night. Therefore, most of the visions he saw occurred while he was half asleep and half awake.
One time, when he was half asleep, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the house, as if someone was stealing, but he was sleeping and was too lazy to pay attention.
However, someone shouted in his ear that there was a fire in the house, and there was a red area behind him. He seemed to smell a burning smell. He shouted, "It's my father who is cooked, what does it have to do with you?" Then he went back to sleep.
When he woke up, the fire was not started, which showed that all the things in the house had been moved out. However, he just laughed and didn't care.
Another time, not long after he lay down, he felt someone caressing his body with cool hands, and someone seemed to be whispering tenderly in his ear. But his wife had died early and he never remarried, and his servants had long been dismissed, so where did that person come from?
However, when he woke up, he found the door wide open and traces of a large snake swimming on the ground. He smiled and bowed to the outside, "Thank you for not eating."
Another time, when he was fast asleep, he suddenly felt himself floating above the clouds. He saw fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women in front of him. He only needed to reach out to get them, but he was too lazy to do so. When he woke up, he found that he had unknowingly fallen on the edge of a cliff. If he had reached out at that time, he would have fallen down.
Liu Cai was a truly open-minded and optimistic person. The imperial family invited him to co-write this book after hearing of his reputation.
Participating in book editing is not a good job, because the person editing the book will often have various strange visions appearing in front of his eyes when recalling the past, and some people will see the strange things that others have seen when reading other people's records.
These strange phenomena seemed to entangle and attract each other, often causing the compilers to become insane or die suddenly midway through. However, Liu Cai was one of the few people who had his or her own record recorded in the "Anomalies" and was able to survive.
Looking at what he did, he was free from worries and didn't care about anything. That's how he avoided these external disturbances one by one.
Chen Chuan thought about himself. Although he had already calmed his mind and the external visions might have decreased, as long as he wanted to make progress, they would definitely happen again.
He also found that this thing only pops up when there are major changes in his emotions, so it can be controlled and avoided, but you can't be too deliberate about it, because the more you pay attention to it, the more likely it is to be stimulated.
Another thing is that you must remain absolutely calm when fighting with others, so that you will not be disturbed when facing a strong enemy.
As they were flipping through the book, it was getting dark. Nian Fuli also returned from the police station. Yu Wan noticed that he was a little upset. She waved Nian Mo and Nian Lu out to play, and came up to ask with concern, "Nian Fuli, what's wrong?"
Nian Fuli took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. He said, "The new driving instructor is arguing with Director Guan again."
"That has nothing to do with you, old man, right?" Yu Wan asked with concern.
Nian Fuli said, "Since he's in the bureau, how can he avoid it? This instructor Che has come to me twice. Even the captains like Wei Lao Hu have been called in for private talks. He's been trying to get support for him, both openly and covertly."
Yu Wan was surprised and said, "This instructor has only been here for a few months, right? Will anyone listen to him?"
Nian Fuli took another drag on his cigarette, exhaled slowly, and said, "This driving instructor has his ways. He first assesses the patrol officers. If they fail once, their salary will be deducted. If they fail twice, they will be disciplined within the bureau. If they fail three times, they will be fired. But whether they pass or fail is not up to him. Does he have the final say? Now many patrol officers can't stand it anymore and have moved over."
Yu Wan was a little puzzled: "Does he have the power to fire patrol officers?" The police bureau is very united. If the director, deputy director and captains do not agree, this cannot be done.
Nian Fuli said: "Kai Ge doesn't have the ability to do that right now, but he can send people to the surrounding counties and towns. Deputy Director Shang is very cooperative with him on this matter."
Chen Chuan walked out of the room at this time. When he heard this, he suddenly thought about it and realized that this move was very powerful.
There are only some simple members of the Public Security Bureau in the surrounding counties and towns. Those people are still hoping to be transferred to the Patrol Bureau of Yangzhi City. If they go there, both the salary and status will be much lower. If they are sent there, ordinary patrolmen really cannot accept such a difference in treatment.
Nian Fuli continued, "Instructor Che brought a team with him when he took up his post. He's now assigned them to serve as squad instructors, claiming it's to improve the patrol officers' combat capabilities. Although this is within his purview, everyone can see he's trying to get his way."
Yu Wan was a little worried. She asked, "Then the customs bureau won't take care of it?"
"Director Guan," Nian Fuli shook his head. "Director Guan is actually quite capable and considerate of his subordinates, but he's too upright and often can't be ruthless at critical moments. If the old company commander were here, he wouldn't be like this and would have pushed the matter back long ago. Even if Che is a good fighter, he can't stir up any trouble."
Although his old company commander was ruthless, he attached great importance to the interests of the police station and would never allow others to interfere in his affairs.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Director Guan probably doesn't want to ruin the relationship. After all, important figures in the bureau still need this instructor's protection. But they transferred Instructor Wen and sent this guy here. Maybe the higher-ups want this guy to do something."
"Xiao Chuan sees through it." Nian Fuli slapped his thigh, "They just want to deal with those villages outside the city.
Were there members of the resistance group there? Of course there were, but this had been going on for years. The villagers had no one to protect them. Facing bandits and armed groups, what else could they do but build a stronghold to protect themselves? Decent people would live peacefully, so who would engage in violence?
Instead of suppressing the bandits and armed groups, they turned around and dealt with the villagers. This is quite unethical."
He took another deep breath. "The bureau has an operation the day after tomorrow to wipe out a village outside the city where suspected members of a resistance organization are hiding. They originally planned to let me lead the team."
"What happened next?" Yu Wan asked anxiously.
Nian Fuli seemed a little confused by this as he frowned and said, "I don't know what happened later, but Che came to me that afternoon and was a bit more polite than usual. He said someone else had been assigned to the job and asked me not to go. Well, it's best not to go. I don't want to get involved in such a conscience-breaking matter."
As they were talking, someone banged on the door outside and said loudly, "New Year, someone from the bureau is here."
Nian Fuli cursed, "Who is it? Why are you here at this hour..." He walked out, said a few words outside, and walked back with a strange look on his face. He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Someone named Che is here. He said... he wants to see Xiao Chuan."
