Chapter 859: An Wuli Hometown
After Liao Donghai said this, he saw that Chen Chuan had no reaction, so he knew that Chen Chuan was not interested in this matter, and he had an idea in his mind.
If this person is interested after hearing these things, then he doesn't mind doing a favor.
Yuan'an Company no longer had any chance of profiting from this matter; the executives who had made the private decision had already been dealt with. They were still handling the matter because, as a state-owned enterprise, they had to accept the punishment and arrangements from above. Since they were already paying the price, they might as well take this opportunity to befriend a martial artist.
Chen Chuan had no intention of letting himself bear this power. Not only was the situation of this lost object unclear, it also involved disputes among many parties and even attracted attention at the national level. Getting it into his body out of thin air would only cause trouble.
It can be imagined that since the so-called Son of the Devil is almost never seen nowadays, many people must have obtained this thing in the past few hundred years, and it is unknown how many people and forces are involved.
This also gave him another possibility: once those who possessed this item gained a certain amount of power, they would likely kill each other to maintain its integrity, targeting everyone who gained this power. While he didn't mind competing with others, there was no need to create so much unnecessary trouble for himself.
He asked: "Besides this method, do you have any other methods?"
Liao Donghai replied, "Yes, I consulted the company's experts on this subject before I came here. If the person holding the lost items is willing to give them up, then that's fine. Lost items have their own will. If the owner rejects them, then they can be transferred to some specific container. However... those two people may not be willing to do that."
Chen Chuan nodded. These two people were definitely unwilling to hand over the things. The white-haired woman's silence before might have been due to this reason. They would rather be killed by them than give in voluntarily.
Liao Donghai continued, "If we don't use this method and want something simpler, we can just let the active consciousness kill them, and we can still extract the remains."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "There are simple things, and there are complicated things. Mr. Liao, let's talk about it together."
Liao Donghai said, "We also have a backup plan, which is to apply for a secret ritual to gradually remove it. However, this method is slow to take effect and may require a certain cost. Perhaps... the higher-ups may not be satisfied."
Chen Chuan immediately asked Liao Donghai for the relevant information, which showed that it might take half a month from the application to the arrangement of the esoteric ritual.
As for the time required for the peeling, it might take longer, perhaps three to four months, and he would have to bear any risks involved. This is not as direct as killing with one knife.
But that's not how it works. Killing is not a good solution. Judging from the current situation, the two people have basically not committed any crime, so there is no need for such extreme treatment.
And after all, they were two fighters. When the big collision was about to happen, one more person would always be an extra help. If you can get someone who is not your enemy, you should try your best to get him.
So he said, "Mr. Liao, let's use the last method. I will handle the communication with the higher-ups."
When Liao Donghai heard him say this, he immediately responded: "If Director Chen thinks this is feasible, then we will use this method."
Chen Chuan immediately found the radio operator here and asked him to make a report to the Ministry of Affairs, stating his decision and the reasons for doing so.
He sent the telegram in the afternoon, and it was returned in less than two hours. The reply expressed agreement and support for his approach.
Judging from the quick response above, it is obvious that people tend to support the way he was dealt with.
With this document as endorsement, there will be no problem in carrying out the plan.
After discussing some details with Liao Donghai, he finally said, "Mr. Liao, these two people will be placed in your company for now. I hope you can handle the follow-up matters."
Liao Donghai immediately made a solemn promise: "Director Chen, please rest assured that the company has learned its lesson this time and will never make a similar mistake again. Liao will keep an eye on things here and report to you by telegram at any time."
Chen Chuan hummed. It was impossible for Yuan'an Company to have gathered such detailed information in such a short time. It could only be said that they had been secretly preparing for research after discovering these two ancient martial artists. They had originally intended to keep the profits themselves, but unexpectedly, a corporate spy had disrupted their plans.
This matter cannot be decided by one or two executives. The person who has been pushed forward should only be punished on behalf of others. The top government officials should also understand this matter, but they did not investigate it thoroughly. Instead, they let Yuan'an be responsible for handling the follow-up matters, which means that they can atone for their sins with their merits.
But if this cannot be handled properly, then the knife may really fall. The top management of Yuan'an Company should be well aware of this.
In fact, he thought afterwards that the whole matter could not be concealed from the General Affairs Bureau. After all, even Nian Fuli had heard the relevant news. It was impossible that the General Affairs Bureau had no intelligence and had not taken action before. Perhaps they were waiting for something, or they might be setting up some trap. He guessed that it was very likely that they were planning to target Yuan'an Company or even some upper-level officials in Haixi Road.
In this case, his intervention might inadvertently disrupt their arrangements, but this had nothing to do with him. The other party had not communicated with him in advance, so he only needed to perform his duties as the Director of Defense.
After leaving Yuan'an Company, he took the car sent by Yuan'an Company back home. Because he was delayed outside for a few days, his aunt and others didn't know how long it would take for him to come back, so according to his previous instructions, the family took an airship to visit his aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings.
A note was also left at home with my aunt's contact information and specific address.
Aunt Yu Jie was married in Shannan Road, and it would take about two days to get there by airship. Now there was still less than half a month left in the annual leave, so there was still plenty of time, so he reported his itinerary to the Fighting Council.
He took advantage of the waiting time to go back to the old house left by his parents, cleaned up the place, and removed some weeds and vines nearby. After dealing with these, he took out a chair and sat there for an afternoon, just like in the past few years.
This time, before leaving, he deliberately performed a set of free-hand fighting in front of the house. This was to give an account of his past and also to show his determination.
The council's response arrived in the evening, and along with it, an airship flew to Yangzhi City early the next morning. He boarded the airship with his luggage. Before leaving, he looked back at Yangzhi. This time, he didn't know how long he would be back.
The airship slowly rose, gradually moving away from Yangzhi City in the morning light, and flew towards the southwest under the push of the propeller.
After more than a day of flying, on the night of the 17th, Chen Chuan arrived in Shannan Road, which is located in the heart of Dashun. His aunt's family lives in the Shannan Road garrison family area outside the central city. His uncle-in-law Han Kuang is a colonel staff officer.
When he was on the airship, he recalled the past. It seemed that in the memory of this mother, his aunt would appear from time to time, but his aunt rarely appeared. In fact, his aunt rarely mentioned his aunt in front of him. In his childhood memory, although his aunt had talked to their family, the communication was relatively rare, so he guessed that the relationship between the two sisters might not be very good.
Because the airship landed late at night, he did not disturb his aunt's family. He simply stayed on the airship for one night and planned to visit them at a suitable time tomorrow.
At the same time, a car drove into the Shannan Road garrison family area and finally drove into the underground parking lot of a villa.
Han Kuang walked out of the car with his briefcase. After closing the door, he rubbed his temples. He had attended many military meetings in the army in the past few days. Despite the support of medication, he still felt exhausted when he returned home.
After walking from the garage into the room, he felt as if there were guests at home, so he asked, "Mother Ling, who's here?"
Ling's mother came over and took the military uniform he had taken off, saying, "Sir, it's my wife's sister and her family who came with their children to pay New Year's greetings. They wanted to thank you for your help and brought a lot of gifts."
"oh……"
Han Kuang suddenly realized, and he said, "Then take good care of her, Ling Ma. I have some more things to take care of, so I might not be able to sleep until very late. Tell Madam not to save any breakfast for me."
"Yes, sir."
Han Kuang first ate something, took a shower, and then continued to handle official business. It was two or three o'clock in the morning before he returned to his room to sleep.
He slept until around nine o'clock and woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife rummaging through something. He asked in surprise, "Yu Jie, what are you looking for?"
Yu Jie said without turning her head: "Looking for my old photos. Oh, I found it." She took out a photo, which was a group photo of three beautiful girls.
"This photo was taken by the three sisters before I married you, Old Han. It's been so many years."
"Why did you think of watching this?"
"Didn't Yu Wan's family come over these past few days? It's inevitable that I've been reminded of the past. Oh, my second sister, she's just too opinionated. She doesn't even pay attention to the young people I arranged for her."
"That brother from Old Fan's family."
"Yes, he's a handsome man with a bright future. He's ten years younger than you, and his military rank is almost the same as yours, right?"
Han Kuang snorted, "Don't you see whose daughter he married? If your connection had worked, would he be sitting in this position today? I don't think so."
Yu Jie glared at him, "How would you know?"
"Come on, come on, I won't argue with you. Where are Xiao Huan and Xiao Jing?"
"These two girls are circling around their cousin."
Han Kuang thought for a moment, "Hey, I remember your second sister has a son? He seems to be living in your third sister's house. Did he come with him today?"
"I heard he has some official business and will arrive a few days later."
"Official business?" Han Kuang became interested. "Is this kid also working for the government?"
