Atlas of Heaven and Man
#379 - Where the heart goes
Meng Shu walked to the French window, looked at the night sky outside, and said, "Have you been back to your old house lately?"
Chen Chuan said, "I've been there. I went back once before coming to Central City."
Meng Shu said, "I still remember the small stream in front of your house. In the summer, walking in it, the water soaked my calves, it was especially cool. At that time, I was carefree and didn't have to think about anything.
And the starry sky at night, I thought at that time, if I took a small boat and floated down the stream all the way, could I float all the way to the Milky Way?"
Chen Chuan walked over and looked outside as well. Even though it was autumn, he could still see the twinkling stars. He couldn't help but think of the night at the alumni reunion two years ago.
Meng Shu wrapped her arms around herself and said, "Two years ago, I returned to Central City. My grandfather told me the truth about the world. Only then did I know that there was another world on the opposite side, and that the two worlds were about to face a major collision.
When I learned about these things, I didn't show much emotional fluctuation. My grandfather was very satisfied with my calmness.
But the reason I was like this at the time was just because I felt that everything around me, although very close to me, within reach, did not belong to me. Then, no matter how the world changes, what does it have to do with me?
The funny thing is, when I knew that some things could be truly obtained by me, I felt a little scared. Perhaps that was because I had the opportunity to possess them.
Xiao Chuan, when you learned about these things, did you ever feel scared?"
Chen Chuan said, "Actually…" He looked at the magnificent starry sky, "I even felt a little expectation, because it meant that the original restraints were no longer restraints. Perhaps one day, I will be able to rely on myself to go there."
Meng Shu said, "I should have thought of it. You have loved those adventure stories since you were a child, yearning for the scenery everywhere. I remember every time Aunt Yu talked about those wonderful stories, your eyes would light up, as if you couldn't wait to join in."
Chen Chuan thought, this is the original owner's idea. And his idea is those mysterious and unknown things, those that can break the cage and be free from any restraint.
Meng Shu sighed softly, "Actually, I once thought about giving up, but this is no longer my own business. My grandfather's expectations are secondary. Everyone who follows me and surrounds me wants to push me forward. I can't stop.
I may be able to sit on the bow of this ship, but when it can stop and where it will go is not something I can decide."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Your grandfather's idea is to sit back and watch the competition between the two of you, and whoever wins will get the inheritance, right?"
Meng Shu said, "I never knew what my grandfather really thought. I have seen him very few times, perhaps not as many times as the people around him. He has many sons, but he did not choose them, but placed the inheritance on me and Meng Huang.
He is the person sitting at the top of the company. From the moment he makes a decision, both Meng Huang and I need to follow his will. This is the case for the Meng family and everyone in the company.
Perhaps only when I sit in his position can I know what he really thinks, can have my own ideas, and can let the small boat carrying me go to the place I want to go."
She looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, I have never asked you if you are confident, because you always seem to be very confident."
Chen Chuan said, "Because as a fighter, all my strength comes from myself. When I decide to do something, I can face the enemy bravely. I am full of confidence in the power I have, because nothing is more trustworthy than this."
His voice was very calm. Although he didn't say anything encouraging, it contained a strange power.
Meng Shu took a deep breath and looked at the magnificent stars outside again, and said, "Perhaps you can really go there, without any small boat, just by yourself."
After the conversation, Chen Chuan returned to his villa, where he continued his daily practice.
After waiting for three days, the virtualization traces on my body gradually weakened until they disappeared completely. From this, it can be judged that special medicine can be taken once every three days.
She was right. Two more days passed, and the company sent a lawyer's letter to the manor, saying that there were objections to the property rights and part of the income of the manor where Meng Shu lived.
The manor had been prepared for this for a long time, and fully entrusted a lawyer to file a lawsuit, and did not need to win, just needed to delay it.
Any qualified lawyer can do this, even if something happens to this lawyer, another person can replace him, so there is no need to worry.
At this time, Chen Chuan received a notice from Captain Guan of the Processing Bureau.
"Meng Huang has been handling affairs in the company for some time, but these days, external exchanges have been a bit frequent, and he has frequently appeared in public. We suspect that he may be preparing to take action.
Executive Chen, you need to be careful.
Also, I want to tell you a piece of news. These days, the Processing Bureau has registered two fighting experts who entered Da Shun from overseas. They all came through the Ferris Wheel Company.
But there may still be some in private. We will closely monitor these two people, and will put some pressure on the Ferris Wheel Company in the near future, but we do not rule out that they have other means. We will send a piece of information later, which contains our suspected targets and specific analysis of these people. Executive Chen, please pay attention to receiving it."
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you."
After the call ended, he received a lot of information from the interface. It is this convenient to rely on the Processing Bureau. Even here in the manor, you can clearly know the changes outside.
He opened these materials and looked at them. They were all people who the Processing Bureau believed might pose a threat to the manor.
Most of the registered fighters can be monitored where they go. Only those who are wanted or criminal gangs, and some who have smuggled in, are worthy of attention.
This is why the Processing Bureau is so wary of experts from overseas, because these people often have large companies to cover up their whereabouts.
The latest novels are first published on the Liǔ 9 Shu Ba!
As for the fighters hired by the platform, the Processing Bureau has tried to communicate with them. Many people responded that someone had indeed approached them recently, but when they learned that the person to deal with was Chen Chuan, they all said that the risk was too great.
The main reason for this is the strength shown by Chen Chuan after the fight with Wei Wusheng, and Chen Chuan is clearly a member of the Processing Bureau.
If Chen Chuan was just an ordinary student with no background, then they might consider it, but there is really no need to risk confronting the Processing Bureau to do this.
After this filtering, the scope is greatly reduced.
After he had read all of them, he found that there were only three teams that could be listed as truly worthy of suspicion, and in this…
While he was reading, in a villa in Mote Mountain, a resonance nest was set up in the room, and the branches outside the nest were flashing with light. That gentle and tall man was waiting outside.
After a long time, the flashing stopped.
The tall man took a few steps forward and asked, "How is it?"
The resonator inside replied, "The field is very strong. It is a professional team, probably from the Processing Bureau. One team is guarding the outside, and one team is responsible for the situation inside. There is no way to break through."
The tall man said, "Didn't you say that there is someone arranged by the employer inside?"
"He is the only one, and it is difficult for him to do anything. The two teams inside and outside are not subordinate to each other. If we can't break through the periphery, it is meaningless to contact him."
"Then this road is impassable?"
"Not necessarily. If we can force the Processing Bureau to transfer manpower, or if the employer can send a small team to support us, there may be a chance. Anyway, with the current situation, we can't do it by ourselves."
The tall man didn't make things difficult for him and said, "You only need to focus on technical matters, and I will think of other ways."
He turned around and contacted him with the interface, saying, "Boss, I have learned about it. There are difficulties. It's not that the brothers below are not working hard, but there are indeed difficulties."
He explained the key to this, "If the employer is unwilling to provide manpower directly, then can we raise the price and hire from outside? We only need to break through the periphery and contain it, and someone will respond inside."
This is what they must do, because the Mote Mountain residential area has its own security system. There are two small airships patrolling the periphery 24 hours a day, which can arrive at the scene at any time, so blocking the field signal is necessary.
He talked to the other side for a while, and then said, "… If all this doesn't work, then we can only spend a lot of money on the black market to buy a one-time field creature to forcibly block it, but this may only last for a short period of time… Okay, boss, I hear you, let's prepare for both, I'll do it now."
