Chen Chuan was not surprised by the counter-accusation from Ji Xinmin and the other two. This kind of thing was a common trick. Not only were there many cases before, but he himself had encountered similar situations.
You say there's no evidence?
No evidence can be created. Then new evidence and witnesses are constantly made to appear. Next is getting caught in lengthy verification and investigation, and then repeated cycles. In short, with the support of certain legal principles, this matter can be delayed, with no way to ever reach a conclusion.
Director Wu saw that he looked calm, knowing that he had expected this. However, he still reminded him, "The Gray Shell Affairs Office and the Municipal Council are closely connected. You need to be vigilant.
These people have plenty of financial resources and manpower. They may entangle you in this matter indefinitely, constantly involving your energy and time.
They may privately push people you know to persuade you, or even take more insidious and despicable measures to put pressure on you until you withdraw or admit defeat."
Chen Chuan said, "Does Director Wu have any suggestions?"
Director Wu said, "This matter should be based on your opinion. If your plan is to persevere, the bureau will support you. This is not just my opinion, but also the opinion of other directors.
The bureau can act as a guarantor in this matter, exempting you from being summoned. The costs of going to the courtroom can also be covered by public funds. On this matter, our opinion is consistent: we must protect our officers.
However, it may take several years or even longer to achieve results. Even if you are not summoned, there will be other ways to interfere with you. Do not underestimate these. Over time, this may take up a great deal of your energy and time."His voice lowered at this point: "There have been such examples before, and more than one person. At first, they were equally confident, believing they could fight to the end, but in the end, they either voluntarily applied for a transfer or agreed to certain conditions to reconcile with the other side. This made the bureau very passive."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly. He understood this. If the bureau's support failed time and time again, then in the end, it would be the same whether there was support or not. This would not cause any harm to the Processing Bureau on the surface, but it would be a great blow to internal recognition.
However, he was different from those who were forced to compromise. Ji Xinmin and the other two were all from the Refinement Sect. Knowing that he had already joined the Purist Faction, they still tried to win him over by using means, and even used additional methods. So if this matter were blown out of proportion, it would be considered a dispute between factions.
After using up his Pure Essence, he sent a Telegram using the communication frequency Chang Dong gave him. The other side agreed to increase his Pure Essence and told him that they would send someone to resolve the matter within the next two days at the latest, telling him to just wait.
In fact, even if no result could be reached, it wouldn't matter. The Great Boom didn't know when it would come. What was this talk of dragging on for years or more? By that time, it was still uncertain whether the existing rules would exist. In the end, force would determine everything.
However, he was still very grateful for Director Wu's kind reminders and help. He said, "Thank you, Director Wu ."
Director Wu said, "You are a member of our Processing Bureau, and this time you have evidence and reasonable boundaries. The bureau will definitely help you. But I must also say that we can only help you personally, but we cannot take care of other things. Supervisor Chen, you need to consider your next response."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I think I can find a solution."
Director Wu looked at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know their identities?"
He meant the identities behind these people. He gave an affirmative answer, saying, "I know."
Director Wu nodded, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "It's good that you know what's going on. If there's anything you can't handle yourself, remember to ask the bureau for help."
Chen Chuan said okay.
After finishing the conversation, he walked out of the conference room.
While walking in the corridor, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Supervisor Han whom he had just met. Although this person's attitude was very cold, he always felt that this person harbored some hostility towards him.
He had some guesses in his mind. He looked up the data. There was only some basic age and work experience data on it. This Supervisor Han came from local Wuyi and also rose from the bottom.
This person had repeatedly made meritorious service when he was young, but his position had not changed much before the age of thirty-five. It was not until the past ten years that his position had been promoted all the way. He has been in the supervisor position for three years now.
And other than these, there wasn't much else.
He thought for a while, stood in front of the corridor window, contacted Ni Qianxi , and after a while, it was connected. He said, "Sister Ni?"
Ni Qianxi responded and quickly said, "You are now a supervisor , so call me by my position in the bureau."
Chen Chuan smiled, "Okay, Officer Ni. I have something I want to ask you about," he paused and asked, "Do you know Supervisor Han ?"
"Supervisor Han , ah."
Ni Qianxi thought for a while and said, "Wait a moment."
Chen Chuan heard the sound of her walking out in high heels. After a while, the sound came again: "I heard that Supervisor Han was very famous when he was young. Later, he was injured in an operation and was transferred to a leisurely position. It seems that he was delayed for more than ten years.
But I heard that his grandparents used to hold very high positions, and they seemed to be specifically responsible for handling Company affairs. It seems that because of this, he can still get in touch with some Company executives, including some overseas ones..."
Chen Chuan listened carefully. Ni Qianxi didn't know much, and many of them were unconfirmed rumors, but some places were worth thinking about.
After he finished listening, he thanked her, said he would treat Ni Qianxi to dinner another day, and then ended the call. He walked out of the corridor. As soon as he got outside, he looked up and saw Officer Qiu waiting for him there. At this time, the latter smiled and saluted him.
"Supervisor Chen, I have a few documents for you to sign."
Chen Chuan took it and looked at it, and saw that it was a document exempting him from national conscription and Convergence Zone conscription. As a Third-Limit Martial Artist , he must respond to these conscriptions. This is the obligation of this group.
However, he is now the Processing Bureau Investigation Director , and he is clearly a middle and upper-level official in Central City. Strictly speaking, he has already separated from the front-line combatants.
In this way, unless there is an emergency conscription, an application for transfer, or he voluntarily joins, he will no longer be forced to do these things.
However, in the event of an emergency, people from the Processing Bureau, regardless of their identity, as long as they have a certain amount of combat power, must go into battle.
It can only be said that such a situation has not yet been encountered.
After he read it, he took the pen that the other party brought and signed the two documents.
After Officer Qiu took it back, he handed over another copy.
"Supervisor Chen, there is also this one. Please sign it as well."
Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. This was about the distribution of his Cultivation resources, especially Special drugs. Even if he didn't go to the Convergence Zone, with his current position, there would still be an allocation quota from above.
He felt emotional. Although those fighting on the front line could also get a lot, there was still a clear gap compared to real managers, because the latter were the ones who controlled and distributed resources.
If he hadn't joined a faction or signed some kind of agreement with the Government and Company, then the position he had reached now would have been the peak.
He also signed it, returned it to Officer Qiu , who saluted again and left with the things.
Chen Chuan walked outwards. After leaving the Processing Bureau and returning to the car, he thought for a while that the Drugs that Fusion Boundary Company had given him were enough for his daily Cultivation.
In fact, his body Cultivation had almost reached the limit of his true self before, but because he swallowed Pure Essence, he once again improved his Potential, so the upper limit seemed to have increased again, but in general, he was already able to see that step. Perhaps it would only be a matter of these few months, and the rest would be pure Spirit polishing.
Of course, there was also the Second Self . His idea was that after the Second Self caught up to the current level and merged with himself, he would take the step of breaking the limit and surpass the truly theoretical perfection.
If this was the target, then in addition to Cultivation, there also needed to be qualified opponents, but in this Central City, this was probably the least lacking.
Not to mention that the Union and Linax Federation diplomatic teams would arrive in mid-September and late September, which was only ten or twenty days away. It was conceivable that Central City would definitely not be peaceful at that time.
And when he no longer needed Special drugs, he could hand over the remaining medicine to suitable people with Potential. Those who held resources could naturally gather Strength.
Just as he was leaving the Processing Bureau, on the edge of the Voidward District, Wei Dong and Wu Han were walking towards an abandoned house.
Today, the two of them received a Commission to rescue a hostage who had been kidnapped by gang members.
Both of them held their usual weapons. Wu Han had a short gun, and Wei Dong had a pair of special gloves. They were both wearing the protective gear they had bought.
After arriving at the side of the building, Wu Han looked up under cover and said, "Junior, same old rules, you go up to attract attention, and I'll enter from the side to save people."
They had done this kind of Commission many times. These robbers couldn't have very high martial arts skills. They were already robbers, so what high level could you expect? So usually they only needed a surprise attack to solve the problem.
Wei Dong was uncharacteristically silent.
Wu Han looked at him strangely.
Wei Dong said at this time, "I have a bad feeling."
Wu Han was very surprised. Wei Dong was never afraid of anything, but Wei Dong's intuition had always been very good. If he said he had a bad feeling, then there was an 80% chance that something was wrong ahead.
The two of them had performed many tasks together, and they had encountered no small number of dangers. He trusted Wei Dong very much, and he suddenly remembered that Chen Chuan had recently reminded them to be careful in everything they did.
So he looked at the top and immediately decided, "Then let's not go in, let's retreat!"
