Chapter 391 White Bird District
After finishing his call with Chen Chuan, Deputy Director Fang said to Director Wu: "Meng Lai is still trying to control the situation. He wants the two heirs to follow his script.
This old guy is no simple man. Maybe he wants to solve the problem at once.
During this period, Meng Shu has not yet gained a foothold with the influence of this incident, and we still have to protect this old guy. He doesn't give us any time at all."
Director Wu said, "That's his style. It looks like he's truly not being controlled. This is actually good news. We're mainly on guard against a certain presence on the other side. As long as we don't cross that line, everything else can be tolerated for now."
Deputy Director Fang agreed with this.
Director Wu said in a deep voice, "It's just that when Executive Chen goes to Meng Lai's manor this time, if Meng Huang reacts, he will most likely face that kind of being. I just don't know which one it will be."
Deputy Director Fang shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but according to the Ministry of Defense's analysis, it's probably not one of those high-ranking individuals. I've already had some necessary supplies delivered to Executive Chen."
Director Wu nodded and said, "Director Fang, get everyone ready. Notify the Ministry of Defense as well. If we can get confirmation from Executor Chen, then there's no need to hesitate. Take action immediately. We must try to save him and Meng Shu. If that's not possible, at least make sure Executor Chen gets back."
Deputy Director Fang said seriously, "I understand."
After Chen Chuan spoke with the processing bureau, he returned to the main house and told them the bureau's general idea. He said, "The bureau means that if you decide to go, then I will accompany you. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
Yan Yi looked at Meng Shu and said, "Miss?"
Meng Shu looked up at Chen Chuan and said, "Chen Chuan, do you think I should go?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "For your own safety, you should stay here. But it depends on what you want. If you want something, you have to pay the price."
Meng Shu stood up and walked to the side, looking at the maple leaves swirling in the wind outside. After a while, she said, "It's not about what I want, but what the people around me want. They want me to go, and the processing bureau also wants me to go, so I have to go. Sister Yan, go and make the arrangements."
Yan Yi bowed and said, "Okay, Miss." Then she walked out.
After she left, Meng Shu still looked outside and said, "Remember what I said the other day about me? I'm just the one riding on the bow of the ship. I can't decide where to go, and I can't make it stop."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Don't think too much for now. If Meng Lai really has any problems, just let me solve them."
Meng Shu turned around and said, "Thank you."
Chen Chuan nodded, turned around and walked out. After returning to the villa, he began to look at some information sent to him by the processing bureau about Meng Lai and the manor where he lived.
During this time, a member of the processing bureau arrived and handed him a package. When he opened it, he saw a special openable bracelet and a hanging accessory on the top. They all seemed to be carved from some special jade. The note attached explained that it was used to guard against certain existences.
Secondly, there was a specially crafted boundary certificate. This thing had an emergency channel that could briefly transmit some information to the outside world when the field information was blocked. In addition, there were some tools that could help him in specific situations.
He thought about it and realized that he had never participated in the defense mission of the ring curtain, so he had not seen what those things were. But as he and Gao Ming said, seeing such things inside the World Ring was actually a good thing.
The next morning, after everything was ready, Chen Chuan came out of the villa and got into Meng Shu's extended special car. He drove out of Motie Mountain under the escort of armored vehicles in front and behind.
The residential area of Menglai, the helmsman of the integrated border, is located in the White Bird District, which is the island outside the central city. The rainbow-shaped overpass in the central city that can be seen from afar leads to that place.
It is where many top executives of central city companies and the main leaders of some giant enterprise branches live. They are also the top group of people standing at the top of Jibei Road Central City.
After the convoy boarded the overpass, Yan Yi said, "There are many small islands outside of White Bird Island, but they are all private territories. We suspect Meng Huang's private transactions with the Outer Ocean Islands must have taken place on one of these islands, but we haven't yet confirmed which one it is or who provided him with the location."
Chen Chuan nodded, and then he glanced to the side. A very conspicuous Ferris wheel came into view at the edge of the port.
Ferris Wheel Company.
This company was supported by the overseas islands, with some local capital involved, otherwise it would have been impossible for it to gain a foothold in the central city of Dashun.
In this operation, this company was obviously cooperating with Meng Huang, forcing the processing bureau to devote some energy to pay attention.
Now that Meng Huang has lost the Viper Group, if he still wants to gather manpower, he might have to seek help from the Ferris Wheel Company. In this case, he still needs to make certain plans.
As they drove towards their destination, the processing bureau was also keeping an eye on their movements. Signs indicated that everything was normal and no one was watching them.
Half an hour later, the convoy came down from the overpass, passed the extremely strict security checkpoint, and entered the White Bird area.
If you don't count the central city at the back, this place can be called a real garden city. Although there are more green plants in most areas of the central city, the green plants here have obviously been carefully cared for and planned. Looking around, the colors are rich and pleasing to the eye, giving people a feeling of comfort and beauty.
The air here is also unusually fresh, with a light floral scent that always lingers in your nose, making you feel happy, and the scent changes depending on the road section.
Apart from the high-rise buildings surrounding the Executive Conference Building in the central area of the White Bird District, the areas with buildings outside the area only occupy a small part of the island, and most of the land is forest parks and high-end amusement areas.
The central city concentrates most of the resources in the surrounding areas, and a considerable portion of them are concentrated in the White Bird District.
When the convoy was driving through this area, they could see biological weapons constantly flying over the road. In addition to the armed patrol cars on the road, there were also patrol airships flying overhead from time to time. These security measures were not available in most parts of the city.
Half an hour later, the convoy drove along a gentle mountain road and arrived in front of a T-shaped manor building on the top of a mountain. Two small airships were parked on the open space in front.
Several people were talking downstairs, surrounded by armed security guards. One of them, a middle-aged man in an imported formal suit, smiled when he saw Meng Shu. He walked towards her and took the initiative to greet her, saying, "Xiao Shu is here."
Meng Shu said, "Seventh Uncle."
Yan Yi informed Chen Chuan through Jie Ping that this was Meng Xu from the Meng family, the seventh son of Meng Lai, who was mainly responsible for the family affairs.
This person seems to be able to talk to everyone, but he seems to be very close to Meng Huang secretly.
Chen Chuan discovered that although this person greeted Meng Shu, he always glanced at him inadvertently. Although the movements were very obscure, he could feel it clearly. However, he should be wearing something similar to Meng Shu, so he could not feel the other person's emotions and the situation in the field.
Meng Xu smiled and said, "The old man is waiting for you, come in quickly."
Meng Shu said goodbye to him and asked the security team members to stay here. She only took Yan Yi and Chen Chuan and walked towards the front manor.
After they passed by, Meng Xu restrained his smile, followed them with his eyes for a while, then turned around and said a few words to Yongjie Pinghe.
When Chen Chuan and Meng Shu were about to reach the front gate of the manor, a well-maintained woman who looked to be in her early thirties walked out. She was wearing a short embroidered jacket with a stand-up collar, wide sleeves, and a light-colored wide skirt. She smiled, bowed to Meng Shu, and said, "Miss Shu."
Meng Shu immediately replied politely, "Aunt Yu." Her attitude seemed more serious than when she treated Meng Xu just now.
Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Miss Shu, come with me." She looked at Chen Chuan again and nodded to him.
Chen Chuan could sense that this Aunt Yu was a fighter, and a third-level fighter at that. Her appearance looked very ordinary, and her walking posture had been deliberately adjusted, but her presence could not deceive anyone.
Although she did not expand the field and instead condensed it, this condensing technique actually confirmed her identity.
Yan Yi explained to him through Jie Ping: "This Aunt Yu was like this when the young lady's father was still alive. No one knows her exact age. She is Lord Meng's true confidant. Lord Meng takes her with him wherever he goes, and sometimes he also passes on his messages through her."
Chen Chuan nodded and followed Meng Shu into the building. He immediately discovered that Jie Ping could no longer communicate with the outside world. The shielding here was very targeted and its strength was by no means comparable to that encountered in Motieshan Manor.
After walking through the magnificent hall with classical furnishings, they took the elevator and it stopped at the ninth floor. Aunt Yu led them through the lobby with crystal chandeliers and turned into an arched corridor with stained glass on one side.
In front of the carved pilasters of the corridor stood a row of sword guards dressed in clothes and armor of the old era. Their faces were covered by visors, and a tall white feather was inserted on the helmet. They held a hooked spear in both hands and stood there straight and motionless. They looked like sculptures, but in fact, one could feel signs of life.
Chen Chuanzheng was walking behind Meng Shu. He glanced at the sword guards and asked Yan Yi through the interface, "Are these puppets?"
Yan Yi replied, "They are all combat puppets custom-made from the Paper Doll Company. They have highly implanted bodies and are absolutely loyal to the owner of this manor, no matter who sits in that position."
Chen Chuan said, "I remember you said that the implant keys for many of the company's employees are in Meng Lai's hands?"
"Yes, including these sword guards."
At this time, they finally reached the end of the corridor. Aunt Yu pushed open the gorgeous door in front of them and said with a smile, "Come in, the master is waiting for you."
