Chapter 471 Countermeasures
In Jiyang District, on the ship at the ocean port, the person in charge of the Ferris Wheel Company left immediately after receiving the news of the failure of the operation. He personally brought the original telegram back to the company and found the director of the operations department.
After reading the message, the supervisor said, "Neither target has been eliminated..." He shook his head, "Even the disciples of Langtao Pavilion can't do it..."
The person in charge replied, "According to the telegram, Makoto Masaru used the 'God of Swords' technique, but still failed to cause damage to the main target..."
At this point, he raised his head and said, "Boss, I think to deal with a target like this, we need to hire a more powerful fighter..."
The supervisor frowned. If this were possible, the company would have already done it, and there wouldn't have been any need to hire someone from Langtao Pavilion. This was on Dashun territory, and they were subject to numerous restrictions. He said slowly, "This will require the board of directors to decide." Then he asked, "Have you cleaned up the mess?"
The person in charge said: "It has been handled cleanly. There will be no direct evidence pointing to us."
The supervisor said solemnly, "Sometimes direct evidence isn't necessary, but getting rid of the person always saves a lot of trouble."
The last incident is not over yet, and this time the handling bureau will not let it go easily. The company will face great pressure in the future, and it is likely that several people will be pushed out to take responsibility in the end.
He glanced at his capable subordinate in front of him, was silent for a moment, and said, "Wait here for a moment. I will go and report this matter to the directors in person."
On the other side, after resting for a night in the villa, Chen Chuan drove the Gard car again the next day and took Wei Dong and Wu Han for a tour around the central city to let them familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.
During lunch, he said to Wu Han, "Senior, do you want to stay here for a few days to get used to it, or do you want to do something?"
Wu Han said, "Hey, junior, you don't know me yet. I don't have much free time. From what you said before, there should be a lot of commissions to do in the central city, right?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Senior Wu, although you don't have official citizen status, Central City is a large place. As long as you have the ability, there is ample room for you to display your talents. I'd like to introduce someone to you. If you don't mind, you can follow him to familiarize yourself with the situation here, and then decide what to do."
Wu Han said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, junior."
Chen Chuan immediately contacted Lao Qi and decided to let him take Wu Han to do some commissions first.
This was something that had been planned a long time ago. Lao Qi had formal citizenship and was an employee of a legitimate commissioned company. He had cooperated with Wuyi Academy a lot before and had a lot of experience in working with fighters, so he knew how to arrange it.
Especially now that Lao Qi is being watched by the Plague Cult members and dares not come out, it would be a good opportunity to let Wu Han go over there and cooperate with him, so that both sides can take care of each other.
The contact with Lao Qi went smoothly. After Chen Chuan explained the situation, he immediately agreed.
In Lao Qi's opinion, this was not Chen Chuan asking him to take care of his classmates, but clearly asking him to find a helper who could protect himself. He was full of gratitude and secretly thought about how to do what he asked.
After discussing this matter, after lunch, Chen Chuan took the two of them to visit some major places in the city. He first sent Weidong back to the college, and then sent Wu Han to Lao Qi's temporary residence. He introduced both parties to each other, and when he saw that there was nothing else to do, he drove away.
On the way back, he contacted his cousin Gao Ming: "Gao Ming, will you be back tonight? My aunt knows you live alone, so she asked me to bring you some things. I also have something to discuss with you."
Gao Ming said, "There's a conference and office building near our office. Cousin, let's go over there and talk. You're my number one client, and I have time now."
"Okay, I'll be there in an hour."
At about five o'clock, Chen Chuan's Gard entered the Weiguang District, which is the place with the best public facilities and public security in the central city except for the Bai Niao District.
The central city government building, the Ring Cross Conference Hall, and most of the giant companies' branches and high-end offices are located here, and the processing bureau has concentrated a considerable number of elite personnel here.
When he came over, four second-level executors greeted him in succession. It can be seen that if there is a problem anywhere here, multiple third-level fighters will rush over within minutes.
So the many violent incidents in Central City are not really due to a lack of force. Sometimes the problem is actually in resource allocation.
When he arrived at the agreed conference building, he parked his car and took the elevator to the pre-arranged conference room on the 82nd floor. When he walked in, Gao Ming had already arrived.
The two of them greeted each other and sat down by the long French window. Chen Chuan said, "The things are in the trunk. Take them with you when you leave later."
Gao Ming smiled slightly and said, "Okay, cousin."
As the evening scenery of Central City appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Chen Chuan and Gao Ming chatted for a while. After drinking a cup of tea, he told him about the attack on the Ferris Wheel Company.
After listening carefully, Gao Ming said, "Cousin, I personally believe that even if the government puts pressure on this matter, without solid evidence, the Ferris Wheel Company can only give some explanations and compensation at most.
This is the end of the matter. If the higher-ups really want to take action against the Ferris Wheel Company, it won't be because of this incident, but for other reasons."
Chen Chuan nodded, he had expected this.
Although the Ferris Wheel Company is not a global giant, there are indeed many stakeholders involved behind it.
Moreover, this company has its own military armed forces and its own active consciousness. Not to mention its influence on many overseas islands, more than half of the commercial activities in Yinglu District alone are related to it. Many people will not allow it to have problems.
He said: "But now the Ferris Wheel Company may be targeting me for some unknown reason, and I don't think they will give up so easily."
Gao Ming understood what he meant. He said, "Cousin, relying on one's own strength, there is no way to fight against a large company. The only way to deal with a company is to use another company or the power of the government, but that requires waiting for the right opportunity..."
He smiled and said, "For example, the Molan Company was trying to get its hands on Yangzhi's water source... In fact, in my opinion, Ferris Wheel Company is not far from this dangerous line."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, "A coalition?"
Gao Ming said, "Yes, the consortium. The consortium's investigation involves the game of chess played by the above. I have no way of knowing what the Dashun government is thinking, but this matter itself has definitely reached a dangerous edge. Past examples have proven this."
He said seriously, "The Ferris Wheel Company's assassination of you, my cousin, and this time's assassination of Director Lei are obviously not normal actions, so I infer that this incident may be related to Ferris Wheel's joining the consortium.
Before they truly join the consortium, they may not stop such actions, not only targeting you, my cousin, but they will most likely focus on other areas as well. As long as they continue to do so, they will gradually approach that bottom line.
So cousin, we need to wait.
Waiting isn't giving up, it's waiting for the enemy to make a mistake, waiting for a bigger loophole to appear before counterattacking. Cousin, you're a fighter, so you should understand this better than I do."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Gao Ming, what you said is correct. But taking the fighters as an example, we don't just wait around. Instead, we actively attack to force the enemy to reveal weaknesses. So, I want to ask..." He looked at Gao Ming, "Can we try to push them towards that bottom line?"
Gao Ming smiled and said, "That depends on the strength of the person who is exerting the power. As long as the strength is sufficient, it will be enough to push this matter forward. There are ways to do it. In fact, I think some people should be more anxious than us. I remember that my cousin had contact with people from Canglong Company."
Chen Chuan nodded.
Gao Ming said: "Behind the Ferris Wheel Company are the Outer Sea Islands and the Ocean Council Union. This is public information. Canglong Company's main business is also there. If the Ferris Wheel Company joins the consortium, it will first harm their interests.
In addition to Canglong Company, there is also an Ocean Development Group. Both of them are state-owned enterprises, and they will undoubtedly be the first to feel the rising momentum of the Ferris Wheel. They will not do nothing.
So I think you don't have to rush to do anything, cousin. After knowing that the attack on your cousin is related to the Ferris Wheel Company, they may take the initiative to contact you."
He pushed up his glasses and said, "If they remain motionless, it means they have deeper plans, or there is a greater force above them suppressing them, so they must not act rashly.
In short, the important thing now is to wait and take necessary precautions. I believe time is on our side."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Gao Ming, Ferris Wheel went to Yangzhi to investigate my situation last time. They might also come to target you, so you have to be careful."
Gao Ming smiled and said, "I know. That's why, ever since someone started investigating you, cousin, I've been living in the office dormitory these days and haven't returned to the apartment."
Chen Chuan nodded. No wonder Gao Ming asked him to meet here. The law firm where Gao Ming worked was quite famous. It had its own independent security and purchased city security services for every lawyer. The processing bureau had concentrated considerable forces here, so there was almost no need to worry about any problems.
He reminded: "Remember to stay in touch at all times."
Gao Ming said seriously: "Cousin, I will."
After the two discussed some more issues, they left the meeting room together and said goodbye in the building square.
When he got back to the car and sat down, he suddenly received a message from the college platform. He clicked it and saw Hong Fu's voice:
"Hello, student Chen, the instructor you applied for will arrive at the academy on February 1st. Please go there to meet him/her.
Chen Chuan was cheered up. He had participated in the defense mission before in order to get higher-level guidance, and now he finally got what he had been waiting for.
