Chapter 847: Chatting and Hearing Strange News
The guards on both sides gradually became fewer until the off-road vehicle gradually left the main urban area. At this time, the sky gradually brightened, the morning sun gradually rose, and the warm and soft light shone from the opposite side.
Nian Fuli sat in the back, thinking about the scene on the road just now, and thinking that his nephew was not even twenty years old and had a lot of room for improvement in the future. He really couldn't imagine where he could go.
He looked at Chen Chuan's focused profile in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Chuan, you really change every year."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Uncle, some things change, and some things never change."
At this moment, he glanced and saw a patrol car of the Police Bureau coming back from the opposite direction in the distance. It looked covered with dust and dirt, and it must have just returned from outside the city, and maybe even went to the wilderness.
He said, "Uncle, has the police increased their patrols?"
Nian Fuli said, "Yes, it happened more than once. After cracking down on public security inside and outside the city, the Customs Bureau organized personnel to suppress bandits outside the city. They eliminated a lot of armed bandits there, which also cut off many people's income sources. In the past two years, people who wanted to take over the Customs Bureau have been coming one after another, but fortunately, Chief Zhu not only didn't tie our hands and feet, but also strongly supported us. So no one can stop us from doing anything the Patrol Bureau wants to do."
Chen Chuan nodded. The Police Bureau's direct superior department is the National General Police Department. This system is relatively closed. Many local companies and some armed elements are monitored by the Police Bureau branches. As long as the Civil Affairs Department cooperates and there are no companies like Molan in the local area to cause trouble, no one can stop them.
Armed bandits, engaged in various smuggling and violent activities, are partly connected to local companies and families in Yangzhi and surrounding counties, and partly through infiltration and support from foreign forces. Over the years, the government has been deliberately suppressing and eliminating these forces.
As the civil affairs chief transferred from another place, Zhu Xian must have followed the will of the superiors and vigorously promoted this strategy. His position in this regard was consistent with that of the Police Bureau.
He thought for a moment and said, "How about the Yuan'an Company we moved into earlier?"
Nian Fuli said, "Yuan'an Company doesn't interfere with anything in the city. They only care about the railway connecting to Hangu City in the north. Most of the armed forces are concentrated there. Speaking of this, Xiaochuan, I recently heard a piece of gossip from there, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"What news?"
Nian Fuli then stood up from his seat, bent over and sat on the seat behind the passenger seat, and said, "It is said that several people were dug out from the snow in the north."
Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly. It seemed like nothing on the surface, but he always felt that there was something weird going on.
Nian Fuli said, "They say it was discovered when they opened an additional railway line in the north. It should be a common secret line. I used to ride this kind of railway when I was in the army. It is said that those people were dug out there. I heard that these people were quite big."
He used to be skeptical about this kind of thing, but after listening to what Chen Chuan said about the huge collision and fusion, and combining it with his previous experience, he felt that it might not be impossible.
Chen Chuan pondered, "Isn't he quite small?" This reminded him of some similar situations.
And they said that several "people" were dug out, instead of using corpses to refer to them. So were they dead, or... He changed his mind and decided to pay attention to this matter later.
As the director of the Central City Security and Defense Department, theoretically he can inquire about and intervene in all matters related to security in Jibei Road.
However, the national enterprise Yuan'an Company's operations in the north are in cooperation with the military, which involves Haixi Road, so it is normal that no information is passed on. But if he actively asks for information, unless it involves real state secrets, he generally will not refuse to give it, and in his position, this request is reasonable.
They were talking here, while the two little guys, Nian Mo and Nian Lu, were lying on the car windows, looking curiously outside through the glass. They had hardly ever been to the suburbs since they were young, but after getting on the National Highway, the surroundings became more and more desolate, with only the outline of Jiaoshan Mountain faintly visible in the distance.
At this time, Chen Chuan also looked in the direction of Jiaoshan. This place was actually very abnormal, but he had not had access to relevant information before. However, his position allowed him to access it, but he had been in office for a short time and had not had time to pay attention to it. He should pay attention to it in the future.
The car arrived at the remote checkpoint at this time. The guards here had been notified in advance and stood in a row. After the car slowly stopped and Chen Chuan opened the door and got out, the captain shouted "Salute" and everyone saluted him solemnly.
After all, the people at the National Avenue Checkpoint are all within the Jibei Road security and defense system, and can be said to be his subordinates.
Chen Chuan also returned the greeting and then asked people to disperse.
Because they were already in the wilderness, the wind was strong, there was a lot of sand and gravel, and it was winter, so the staff at the checkpoint invited him and his family to sit inside, made them some hot tea, and provided them with some newspapers and reading materials.
Nian Fuli didn't want to wait inside, but stood outside and looked at the far end of the road. Chen Chuan also stood there with him and chatted, talking about the situation in the central city.
After the family waited here for more than an hour, they vaguely saw a passenger bus coming towards them on the straight road ahead.
This passenger bus had two floors, and was filled with people heading from the port to the city. At this moment, Nian Qian was sitting in the back seat of the second floor, reading a newspaper in his hand.
He had short hair, broad shoulders, and thick muscles on his chest and back. He was a very strong young man, his face and youthful energy were almost cut from the same mold. Some faint implant marks could be seen on his ears.
Now he is a major. He is twenty-three years old. At his age, apart from those fighters, only officers like him who graduated from military academies can be promoted so quickly.
Of course, in addition to his excellent achievements in various fields, it is also because he is a rare adaptable person.
The biological implant technology in the military is currently quite advanced. It hardly requires any major changes to the original organs. Just by adding some implanted alienated tissues, people can have considerable combat effectiveness and certain information processing capabilities. However, there are very few people who can adapt to high-end implants. He is one of them. He is also a middle-level officer who is trained as a key task in the military. In addition, he knows how to behave, so he is highly regarded by his superiors.
After flipping through the newspapers from a while ago, he picked up today's newspaper and saw an extra news item, which roughly said, "Director Chen Chuan from the Security and Defense Department of the Central City returned to his hometown Yangzhi to visit relatives, and was warmly welcomed by the Yangzhi Municipal Government and people."
He was a little surprised. Why was this name the same as his cousin's?
He smiled, what a coincidence.
Although he was in the military, a technical officer like him still needed to understand his duties in the central city.
The position of Director of the Security and Defense Department is indeed very high. Not counting the great development period, it is the highest position that anyone who has left Yangzhi City in the past few decades can achieve. This is the pride of Yangzhi, and no wonder everyone in Yangzhi is so excited.
Generally, the person who can sit in this position must be at least 40 or 50 years old. It is very likely that he left the country more than 20 years ago, which coincided with the war to quell the rebellion in the north at that time. He may have been promoted based on his military exploits and then transferred to the administrative department.
The passenger bus had gradually arrived in front of the checkpoint at this time, but it slowly stopped before it reached there. Passengers got off the bus carrying large and small bags. Next, whether they were going to Yangzhi or the central city, they had to change to other vehicles.
Nian Qian walked down from the building with a large suitcase in his hand and a marching backpack on his back. Even though he was not wearing a uniform today, his upright and proud posture showed that he was from the army.
At this time, a familiar and kind voice came from a distance: "Qian'er!" Then the voice of "Brother, brother" came again.
He opened his eyes and looked over the heads of the passengers who were leaving. He saw Yu Wan and Nian Fuli standing aside. The two little guys were jumping and waving there. He couldn't help but get excited.
Behind the family stood a tall young man who was smiling at him. He immediately recognized that it was his cousin Chen Chuan. He also smiled and walked up quickly.
Because of his excitement, when he got closer, he put down his luggage and saluted Nian Fuli, "Dad!" Then he quickly turned to Yu Wan and saluted again, "Mom!"
Yu Wan was a little tearful when she saw her son whom she hadn't seen for several years. But when she saw him suddenly do this, she smiled a little and replied, "Ah~"
Nian Fuli was a retired soldier himself, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. Instead, he was very satisfied. He also returned the standard salute, then stared at his eldest son for a moment, nodded and said, "He is a good soldier, no worse than your father was back then."
Nian Qian laughed, "Dad was on the battlefield, rolling through trenches and climbing over barbed wire. I've only been carrying a gun for a few years, how can I compare to you?"
Nian Fuli's face suddenly lit up with smiles, but he shook his head and said, "It's different, it's different. The guns I carried back then were not the same as the ones you carry now."
Nian Qian looked at his younger siblings, bared his teeth at them, rubbed their heads, and then looked at Chen Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, I heard from my parents that you were admitted to Wuyi and now hold a senior position in the Central City Processing Bureau. That's amazing! I really admire you, cousin! You drove your parents here this time, right? Thanks!"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Cousin, we are all family, there is nothing to thank me for."
"That's right." Nian Qian said seriously, "We are all family, but during the years I was away, you helped take care of the family, so I should thank you!"
Chen Chuan smiled again and said, "Cousin, it's too windy here, it's not a good place to talk. Let's get in the car first."
"good!"
