Chapter 423 Behind the Scenes
There were quite a few people left from the assault team on the scene, but after Sister Huan and her group were eliminated, the remaining people had lost their fighting spirit and were all trying to find ways to evacuate.
However, the integrated border security forces refused to let them go and kept chasing them. In addition, the city patrol also passed the obstacles below and blocked the road leading to the central city.
At this time, two small airships had already arrived nearby, pointing the muzzles of their heading machine guns downwards. As flames appeared, rumbling sounds erupted from above.
Machine gun bullets plowed over the heads of the militants, and broken lime and soil flew everywhere they passed. Even those wearing protective clothing could not withstand it, and those who were not wearing protective clothing had their limbs broken one by one.
Some fighters in the field saw that something was wrong and did not bother to run to the lower part of the overpass. Instead, they simply climbed over the guardrails on both sides and jumped into the sea below.
Chen Chuan ignored those people and walked straight towards Meng Shu's armored car. The security guards gathered around him looked at him with admiration and made way for him.
He came to the car window, so that Meng Shu and Yan Yi, who were sitting inside, could see him, and said through Jie Ping: "The matter is almost resolved, but there are still some armed elements. You should stay here for now."
Meng Shu responded, "Okay." Then she asked, "Chen Chuan, are you okay?"
Chen Chuan said: "It's okay, oh, I tried it, the company's products are of good quality." Seeing that there was no problem here, he walked out. Before leaving, he glanced at a certain place in the car.
Meng Shu looked in the direction he was looking. In that seemingly empty place, Aunt Yu's figure slowly appeared, but before that, no one except her and Yan Yi noticed that she was following.
Aunt Yu said, "Consultant Chen seemed to have seen me just now?" The car had one-way glass, so one couldn't see inside from the outside, but she felt as if Chen Chuan had discovered her.
Li Ying said, "Although I used my field to disrupt other people's senses, Consultant Chen's field is very strong. He must have noticed Ms. Yu when he approached just now."
Aunt Yu sighed and said, "Consultant Chen is very capable. It seems that it makes no difference whether I come or not."
Meng Shu said, "Advisor Chen and Aunt Yu are both trustworthy people."
She glanced at Yan Yi again, who understood and said to the security captain through Jie Ping, "Find a few people to collect the scattered fighters' weapons, wipe them clean, and hand them over to Consultant Chen later."
The security captain was stunned for a moment, then responded with full energy: "Yes!"
At this moment, Chen Chuan walked to the guardrail on one side of the overpass and looked out. He saw several speedboats coming towards him on the sea below. Those who fell into the sea were swimming desperately towards them, and on the distant coastline, there were also several ships slowly sailing out.
At this point, the field shield had been lifted. He contacted the bureau, scanned the ships at sea, and sent a message saying, "Pay attention to check those ships."
Under the machine gun fire of the two airships and the joint encirclement of the security team, the attackers on the bridge were eliminated one after another. As for those who jumped into the sea, they did not pay much attention to them. The processing bureau would naturally send people to chase them later.
The gunfire around them went from intense to sporadic, until only an occasional sound could be heard. Security guards walked back and forth on the bridge deck, firing their weapons to eliminate threats and clear obstacles along the way. There were also those who were responsible for carrying and rescuing the wounded.
Inside the special car, Yan Yi communicated with the security captain and said, "Miss, we've captured a few prisoners. They're all mercenaries, and their identities are still unknown."
Meng Shu said, "Send the person to the processing bureau and donate some money to the bureau later."
Yan Yi understood what was meant and said, "Okay, Miss, I'll take care of it."
At this time, she received another message from the company, asking them whether they would send the company's security personnel to pick up the phone. She said that the situation had been handled here and there was no need to send anyone over.
After a while, the government's public maintenance department came to inquire about compensation. She immediately replied that all the losses on the bridge deck would be borne by Fusion Boundary Company.
Most of these facilities are publicly insured, so Fusion Border Company does not need to bear the responsibility. They are the party attacked today, and will ask the insurance company for compensation afterwards.
As for the involvement, the company's legal team will naturally be responsible for handling it.
As for Chen Chuan, he walked around the convoy and when he saw that there was nothing else to pay attention to, he returned to his own car.
He had originally wanted to collect the dropped weapons. He didn't care about other people, but Sister Huan's double-thorn sword was very unique and had great collection value. However, the security team members took the initiative to help him pack it up, saying that it was a request from their superiors. Although it lacked a sense of ceremony, it saved him the trouble of looking for it again.
After being delayed on the overpass for more than an hour, the convoy set off again and headed towards the Fusion Boundary Company. Due to the attack just now, the speed was deliberately slowed down and the vigilance was strengthened. It took more than an hour to reach the headquarters in Shenwei District.
Chen Chuan was not required to attend the succession ceremony, so he did not follow the whole process. He just watched Meng Shu's speech to all employees of the company through Jie Ping, and participated in the subsequent meeting of company executives as the chief security consultant.
After a day and all the procedures were completed, Meng Shu officially took over the Fusion Boundary Company.
Although she does not have the prestige and experience of Meng Lai, she relies on the advice and decisions provided by Li Ying and the help and cooperation of the Meng family members to keep the company running smoothly.
At this point, Chen Chuan's mission came to an end. Although he still held the title of General Consultant for Integrated Border Security, he no longer had to stay here. He was responsible for the company's daily security.
After saying goodbye to Meng Shu and leaving the company, on the way back to Wu Yi, Director Wu contacted him and discussed the situation with him.
Only then did he realize that there were two hired third-level fighters under the overpass who blocked the rescue workers from the Management Bureau.
However, they acted with restraint and did not hurt anyone. When the situation on the bridge became unsatisfactory, they immediately gave up resistance and were arrested. However, they claimed that they were only hired and did not know the specific situation.
In fact, it is impossible for these two people not to know the situation. They must know something about it, otherwise they would not participate at all. They must have consulted a lawyer a long time ago, claiming that this can help them get rid of the crime.
He had no business with these matters. He just wanted to know the origins of these people. Being able to mobilize seven or eight third-level fighters at a time meant that this was definitely not a small force.
Director Wu said: "Based on the current clues, this group of people is most likely behind the Ferris Wheel Company."
"The Ferris Wheel Company?"
Chen Chuan nodded. He had guessed this before.
"The first fighter you killed, although his head is missing, but through information comparison and the confessions of some captives, this person should be Jiang Huowang from overseas.
This person is a disciple of Lang Tao Guan, a well-known overseas martial arts gym. Lang Tao Guan has branches all over the overseas islands. The internal security of the Ferris Wheel Company is only hired from these people.
In addition, although many of the fighters you killed were Dashun people on the surface, they had more or less foreign blood if you trace them back several generations.
One or two people might be an issue, but the fact that so many people with similar characteristics are gathered together is enough to prove that it is not a coincidence."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I remember that Meng Huang has trade cooperation with the Outer Ocean Islands and the Ferris Wheel Company. Did they attack the convoy this time to get rid of Meng Shu?
But even if it could be done, once Meng Huang's faction was eliminated, as long as Meng Lai was still around, Fusion Boundary Company would have no chance of doing business with them again."
Director Wu said, "We can't get anything out of the prisoners. Their employer simply requested their cooperation in attacking the convoy. However, after analyzing the intelligence surrounding this operation, we believe it's very likely targeted at you, Executor Chen."
Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought for a moment, "Is it because I got rid of Meng Huang before and ruined their plans?"
Although it seems reasonable to retaliate against him for this incident, after all, many residents of overseas island countries have narrow thinking, and some of them act particularly extreme.
But to say that a company like Ferris Wheel specifically targeted him for this matter and mobilized a lot of resources and manpower always feels a bit of an exaggeration. There may be other reasons.
Director Wu said, "We're still investigating this matter, but if our inference is correct, there's no guarantee they won't do it again. Officer Chen, please be more careful."
Chen Chuan nodded. Since the other party had invested so much up front, there was no guarantee they wouldn't make similar moves again. He said, "Director Wu, I'll keep an eye on it."
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Will the bureau investigate the Ferris Wheel Company next?"
"We will definitely investigate, but it's unlikely to yield any results at this point," Director Wu said slowly, "unless higher-ups make a firm decision."
Chen Chuan said he understood that the Ferris Wheel Company also had capital participation from Dashun, so now, let alone the lack of direct evidence, even if there was any, it would only be brought to the Court of Appeal.
The confrontation between the lawyer teams will basically produce no results.
It's not easy to bring down a large-scale company. It requires the power of the government or other companies, and the right timing. Even when they took action against Molan Company, it was because its main force had withdrawn from the central city.
Director Wu then said in a deep voice, "We also learned that the Ferris Wheel Company has been applying to join the 'Enterprise Consortium'.
An inspection team and representatives from multiple companies have already departed and will likely arrive in Jibei Province soon to conduct an assessment and inspection. Their actions of defying the government and actively expanding abroad will not be a demerit, but rather a plus.
