Chapter 379 Where the Heart Goes
Meng Shu walked to the French window, looked out at the night sky, and said, "Have you ever been back to your old house?"
Chen Chuan said, "Yes, I've been there once before coming to Central City."
Meng Shu said: "I still remember the stream in front of your house. In the summer, I would walk in it, and the water would reach my calves. It was so cool. At that time, I was carefree and didn't have to think about anything.
There were also the starry skies at night, and I wondered if I could take a boat and float down the stream, maybe I could drift all the way to the Milky Way.”
Chen Chuan walked over and also looked outside. Even though it was autumn, he could still see the twinkling stars. He couldn't help but think of the night when he had a class reunion two years ago.
Meng Shu crossed her arms and said, "Two years ago, I returned to Central City. My grandfather told me the truth about the world. I then learned that there was another world on the other side, and that the two worlds were about to collide.
When I learned this, I didn't show much emotional fluctuation, and my grandfather was very satisfied with my calmness.
But the reason I was like that at the time was simply because I felt that although everything around me was very close to me and within reach, none of it belonged to me. So no matter how the world changed, what did it have to do with me?
The funny thing is, when I know that something can actually be achieved by me, I feel a little scared. Maybe it’s because I have the opportunity to have it.
Xiaochuan, when you knew all this, did you feel scared?"
Chen Chuan said, "Actually..." He looked up at the magnificent starry sky, "I even feel a little hopeful, because it means those constraints are no longer constraints. Perhaps one day, I will be able to reach that place on my own."
Meng Shu said, "I should have thought of this earlier. You've loved adventure stories since you were little, and you've longed for the beauty of every place. I remember that every time Aunt Yu told you those wonderful stories, your eyes would light up, as if you couldn't wait to join in."
Chen Chuan thought that this was the original body's idea, while his ideas were those mysterious and unknown ones, those that could break the cage and transcend without any constraints.
Meng Shu sighed softly: "In fact, I once thought about giving up, but this is no longer just my problem. My grandfather's expectations are secondary. All the people who follow me and gather around me want to push me forward. I can't stop.
I may be able to sit on the bow of this ship, but when it stops and where it goes is not up to me to decide.”
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Is your grandfather's idea to sit back and watch the two of you compete, and whoever wins will get the inheritance?"
Meng Shu said: "I never knew what my grandfather really thought. The number of times I saw him was very limited, perhaps not as many as those around him. He had many sons, but he did not choose any of them. Instead, he gave the inheritance rights to Meng Huang and me.
He is the person sitting at the top of the company. The moment he makes a decision, Meng Huang and I need to follow his will, whether it is the Meng family or everyone in the company.
Perhaps only when I sit in his position can I know what he really thinks, have my own ideas, and let the boat that carries me go where I want to go. "
She looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, I never asked you if you were sure, because you always seemed very confident."
Chen Chuan said: "Because as a fighter, all my strength comes from myself. When I decide to do something, I can face the enemy without hesitation. I have full confidence in the power I possess, because there is nothing more trustworthy than this."
His voice was steady, and although he didn't say anything inspiring, it contained an inexplicable power.
Meng Shu took a deep breath, looked out at the vast stars, and said, "Maybe you can really get there, without any boat, just by yourself."
After finishing the conversation, Chen Chuan returned to his villa and continued his daily practice.
After waiting for three days, the signs of weakness in my body gradually weakened until they disappeared completely. From this, it can be judged that I can take special medicine once every three days.
If it were someone else, without using certain additional methods, they would not be able to make such accurate judgments as he did, nor would they be able to connect the past and the present as well as he did.
So he took the second bottle of special medicine and swallowed it to maintain his practice pace.
Yan Yi's guess was correct. Sure enough, a few days later, news came from the company that the Meng family withdrew the security force sent by the family on the grounds that Meng Shu was disobedient.
Yan Yi said with some regret: "Actually, this proves that there is no problem with this security team. It's a pity, but fortunately, this proves that there is no problem on Meng Gong's side. It should be that Meng Huang only persuaded some members of the Meng family, otherwise it would be more than just this.
But they will not stop there. The next step may be to target the young lady's family business, or even the part of the income allocated to her by the company.
Fortunately, this matter isn't that easy. These legal matters aren't easily resolved. As long as the young lady doesn't voluntarily admit defeat, it won't be a problem if it drags on for a year or even several years. They're probably just using this to divert our energy and financial resources."
She was right. Two days later, the company sent a lawyer's letter to the manor, stating that it had objections to the property rights and part of the income of the manor where Meng Shu lived.
The manor had already made preparations and authorized a lawyer to handle the lawsuit. The lawyer didn't have to win the case, just drag it out.
Any qualified lawyer can do this kind of thing. Even if something goes wrong with the lawyer, someone else can take his place. There is no need to worry.
At this time, Chen Chuan received a notice from the captain of the customs department of the processing bureau.
"Meng Huang has been handling company affairs for some time, but he has been communicating with external parties frequently in recent days and has appeared frequently in public. We suspect he may be preparing to take action.
Executive Chen, be careful over there.
I also have a piece of news for you. In the past few days, the Bureau of Management has registered two martial arts experts who entered Dashun from overseas. Both of them came in through the channels of Ferris Wheel Company.
But they may be secretly involved. We will closely monitor these two individuals and will exert pressure on Ferris Wheel Company in the near future. However, we cannot rule out other tactics. We will send you information later with our suspects and detailed analysis of these individuals. Executive Chen, please take note."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Okay, thank you."
After the call ended, he received a large amount of information from the boundary certificate. The convenience of having the processing bureau behind him was that even in the manor, he could clearly know the changes outside.
He opened the information and took a look. They were all people that the processing bureau believed might pose a threat to the manor.
Most registered fighters can be monitored wherever they go. Only those who are wanted, criminal gangs, and some who have entered the country illegally are worthy of attention.
This is also why the processing bureau is so wary of foreign experts, because these people often have large companies to cover up their whereabouts.
As for the fighters hired by the platform, the handling bureau has tried to communicate with them. Many people responded that someone had indeed contacted them recently, but when they learned that the person they were going to deal with was Chen Chuan, they all said that the risk was too great.
The main reason for this was the strength that Chen Chuan displayed after the fight with Wei Wusheng, and also because Chen Chuan was clearly the one who handled the situation.
If Chen Chuan was just an ordinary student with no background, they might consider it, but there was really no need to take the risk of going against the processing bureau to do this.
After such filtering, the scope is greatly narrowed.
After he looked through them all, he found that there were only three teams that could be classified as truly suspicious, and among them...
As he watched, in a villa on Motie Mountain, a resonance nest had been erected in the room, and the branches outside the nest were gleaming with light. The tall and well-mannered man was waiting outside.
After a long time, the flashing stopped.
The tall man took a few steps forward and asked, "How is it?"
The person who resonated with them inside replied, "The field is very solid. They're a professional team, most likely from the Bureau of Investigation. One team is stationed outside, while the other is in charge of the situation inside. They can't break in."
The tall man said, "Didn't they say there were people with employers there?"
"It's hard for him to accomplish anything alone. The two teams, inside and outside, are independent of each other. If we can't break through the outer perimeter and reach him, there's no point."
"So this road is blocked?"
"Not necessarily. If we can force the processing bureau to allocate personnel, or if the employer can send a small team to support us, we might still have a chance. Anyway, with the current situation, we can't do anything on our own."
The tall man didn't make things difficult for him and said, "You just need to focus on the technical aspects. I'll figure out the rest."
He turned around and used his boundary credentials to contact him, saying, "Boss, I've understood. There are difficulties. It's not that the brothers below are not working hard. There are indeed difficulties."
He explained the key point here, "If the employer is unwilling to provide manpower directly, then we can raise the price and hire from outside. We just need to break through the outer constraints, and there will be people to support us once we get inside."
This is something they must do, because the Motieshan residential area has its own security system. There are two small airships patrolling the periphery 24 hours a day in the sky, and they can rush to the scene of the incident anytime and anywhere, so it is necessary to block the field signal.
He spoke with the person on the other end for a moment, then added, "...If all else fails, then we'll have to spend a fortune on the black market to purchase disposable field creatures for forced shielding, but that might only last a short time...Okay, Boss, I'll do as you say. Let's prepare for both scenarios. I'll do it right away."
