Chapter 917: The Night Ends and the Morning Sun
The thorough investigation that night lasted for more than seven hours and ended just as the sky was beginning to lighten.
There were a total of 203 members of the Municipal Council, 172 of whom were arrested.
The remaining members of parliament are either from fringe factions or a minority of pro-government factions. There are also some scattered personnel who were not in the central city when the incident happened, but were on exchanges and visits abroad.
Most of these people are not important figures, and those who are abroad do not dare to return to China easily after hearing the news, so they no longer pose a hindrance.
In addition to these legislators, the Government Affairs Office also cracked down on and arrested armed forces and major interest groups associated with them, and quickly convicted them. Those who resisted arrest by force or clearly endangered national security were shot on the spot.
On the way, Chen Chuan went to the detention room of the Processing Bureau to take a look. Those congressmen who were usually arrogant now became embarrassed and uneasy, but some of them still refused to admit defeat. They clamored that they would appeal to the Privy Council and bring the matter to an international conference, and make the Government Affairs Office and Qi Weizhao pay the price.
In the past, perhaps we could just let these people yell and curse, but now no one will tolerate them. The security personnel will just go up and give them an injection of medicine to make them quiet down.
Chen Chuan checked the arrested parliamentarians and key related personnel one by one, and came to the same conclusion as Yao Zhiyi, that "that thing" was indeed not found among these people.
And he was sure that among the people he saw before him, there was no sign of past possession. After all, as a member of the Purist sect, he possessed the secret teachings of the Purist sect, and he could tell at a glance who had a problem.
Based on past experience, this kind of existence generally will not leave the central city unless encountering special circumstances. If it really leaves, then things will become simple.
If not, then it is very likely that there is a deeper plan.
Assuming the latter possibility, if not among these people in parliament, where else could it be?
He thought of a place.
While he was thinking, he heard a prompt sound in his ear. Because the Municipal Assembly Building was completely taken over by the Government Affairs Office, all field information communications were restored from this moment on. On the building screen in the central square, Qi Weizhao's figure appeared and solemnly announced this action to the entire central city.
It was later announced that this action was carried out to safeguard the national security of Dashun, and all relevant personnel had been arrested. In the name of the Government Affairs Office, it was guaranteed that all efforts would be made to maintain the legal and reasonable order of the central city and no commercial and social activities would be affected.
A lot of people gathered around the square, watching the screen, and the number of people gathered was getting larger and larger.
Chen Chuan glanced up at the sky and found that the rain had stopped at some point and the air became exceptionally fresh.
He glanced over and saw a city patrol's internal food truck parked in the square, and a patrol car parked there, where two processing bureau employees were buying roujiamo there.
He walked over and said, "Give me one."
When the waiter in the dining car saw him, he immediately said, "Yes, sir!" In just a moment, he handed him a hot and fragrant roujiamo.
The two inspectors of the processing bureau happened to be from the group of Sun Rao and Wei Yuji. They didn't pay attention at first, because almost all the management of the processing bureau were dispatched tonight and went to the front line. As an inspector, I don't know how many people I have encountered tonight, but after seeing him clearly,
Sun Rao was immediately shocked, "Chen, Director Chen?!"
Chen Chuan nodded to him, "Senior Sun."
Sun Rao was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Finally, he reacted and saluted him, "Hello, Director!"
Wei Yuji, who was standing next to him, put down the roujiamo in his hand, saluted him, and said, "Hello, senior!"
Chen Chuan nodded to Sun Rao, then looked at Wei Yuji and said, "I've read your file, hello, Wei."
Wei Yuji is usually arrogant, but when Chen Chuan called him junior, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement and his body stood straighter.
It’s not because of Director Chen Chuan’s identity, but because the person standing in front of him is a fighter. As a fighter from Wuyi Academy, such achievements and heights are enough to make people look up to him and feel excited.
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Are you in charge of patrolling here tonight?"
Sun Rao said hurriedly, "Yes, we are the last shift. Most of our colleagues are loyal to their duties. There are only a few who are lazy and deserting. We have recorded them and issued punishment reports. Colleagues will come to relieve us later."
Chen Chuan asked a few questions, and Sun Rao was a little restrained, just answering whatever was asked.
Wei Yuji, with the sharpness of a young man, asked at the back, "Director, I've seen that all those arrested today are members of the parliament, right? Is the parliament finished from now on?"
Chen Chuan said: "There is still a parliament."
Wei Yuji immediately understood. So, the only thing left was the parliament? He said, "Senior, does that mean we should also take the next step?"
Sun Rao was surprised and asked, "How dare you ask such a question?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Why do you think so, junior?"
Wei Yuji said boldly, "Without the support of the council, I think the Bai Niao District will definitely be under the control of the Government Affairs Office. Otherwise, what will happen if another council is formed? A branch office will definitely be set up in Bai Niao District, and that means selecting capable people. After sending a group of people, they will have to promote another group. Senior Sun and I are both capable, so even if we don't go there, we can still make a difference."
Sun Rao felt a little flustered after hearing this. No, junior, don’t involve me in whatever you are going to do.
Chen Chuan glanced at Wei Yuji. This junior fellow student saw things more clearly. In the past, the mutual involvement between Bai Niao District and the Municipal Council, as well as the internal and external traffic, were the most difficult to deal with.
If we simply deal with the people in the parliament without taking certain measures against the White Bird District, it won’t be long before the parliament will revive again. Therefore, the safe approach is to control the White Bird District and control it from the source.
The fact that this junior student was able to see these things and then think about getting promoted shows that he is not only smart, but also has a strong desire to improve himself.
He didn't give any accurate answer, and said, "Wait, take your time eating." After that, he raised the roujiamo in his hand to the two people, then turned and left.
The two men quickly raised their hands to salute and watched him leave.
After he walked away, Sun Rao pulled Wei Yuji over and whispered, "Junior, what nonsense did you just say in front of the director?"
Wei Yuji shook his hand off in disdain, straightened his clothes, and said, "Senior, just wait and see. When I get promoted, you'll still have to patrol the area. Even if you're not in the current patrol position, you can't get promoted if it weren't for me." He added, "Don't worry, I'll remember you when the time comes. Although you have many shortcomings, your greatest strength is obedience."
Sun Rao's face suddenly turned dark, and he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Wei Yuji said, "Okay, your colleagues who are taking over the shift are about to arrive, go change your clothes." After that, he walked straight towards the patrol car.
Sun Rao was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He chased after him and said with some embarrassment: "Boy, you are not my boss! I am the team leader!"
After Chen Chuan left the two, he suddenly felt a warmth. He looked to the east. The square was wide open and he could see the avenue in front of him all the way to the end in the distance.
The morning sun was rising slowly, its light shining on everyone's face, and the buildings and the people present seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.
The sun has risen.
He stood facing the rising sun for a while, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked towards the administrative building. As the guards on both sides saluted him, he walked into the lobby and took the elevator to the floor where the Chief Executive's office was located.
Qi Weizhao was waiting there. When Chen entered, he shook his hand and said solemnly, "Director Chen, thank you for your hard work. I have reported the situation here to the central government, and they have affirmed our actions." He added emphatically, "Director Chen, we were able to handle the parliamentary matter so quickly this time, thanks to your swift and appropriate handling."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Everyone in the decision-making team is contributing their efforts. I am doing my part."
Qi Weizhao agreed with this statement. Everyone in this operation had their own responsibilities to bear, but Chen Chuan's responsibility was undoubtedly the heaviest. It was no exaggeration to say that the latter's behavior was directly related to the success of the entire operation.
He had originally thought that only one night was too short to deal with two extremely dangerous active consciousnesses, and he was quite worried. However, in less than an hour, Chen Chuan easily dealt with both active consciousnesses.
In fact, this also includes the travel time, and the actual time spent on it may be less than ten minutes. This gave me a deeper understanding of Chen Chuan's strength. I thought that my previous so-called overestimation was still an underestimation.
You must know that the faster this matter is handled, the more beneficial it will be for controlling the subsequent situation, and many possible variables can be eliminated.
He sighed sincerely: "How fortunate we are to have Director Chen in Jibei Dao!"
After sighing, he turned around and took out some documents from his desk, handing them to Chen Chuan. "Director Xu has obtained Chairman Quan. He's been very cooperative and has explained some things. Some of them are directly related to the previous attack on Director Chen. There's also some information from the secret department. They're all in here. Director Chen, please take a look."
Chen Chuan took it and looked at it.
The covert department provided some information about Mr. Chi and his recent series of unusual movements, combined with some explanations from Chairman Quan. Combining the two, it can be seen that even if Yuanren Company was not the direct driving force behind the entire attack, it was deeply involved with it.
In fact, after the matter here in Jibei Road was resolved, he wanted to start dealing with the matters concerning the original body's parents. However, the original company is a world giant with extremely strong foundation and strength. It is not so easy to deal with, not to mention that the headquarters of this giant company is far away in the Linax Federation. He needs to think carefully about what to do.
Qi Weizhao then earnestly reminded, "Although the operation ended successfully, many things may happen later. Director Chen, we must all be mentally prepared."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I will."
