Chapter 952: Disrespecting the Way
Korva at the bottom of the pit had already come out of the strange state. Blood was oozing from his facial features, his eyes were rolled back, and his body was lying there in a twisted state, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Chen Chuan ignored him and turned to walk into the building.
Skarsson was still lying there. He was seriously injured and was now under the influence of the "Cold Claws". He couldn't recover on his own for a while.
Hearing Chen Chuan coming back, he was not surprised at all and reluctantly said, "Director Chen, can you help me? I have a box of medicine in my suitcase."
Chen Chuan walked over and saw the medicine box at a glance. He took it out and brought it in front of him. He pinched the box with his five fingers, and the medicine inside flowed onto his face and body and was quickly absorbed by his skin, which accelerated the recovery of his injuries.
Chen Chuan was unable to establish contact with the outside world due to the interference of the field here, so when he was about to go out, Skarsson called him from behind.
He turned around and saw Skarsson struggling to sit up. He leaned against the broken wall with a guilty look on his face. "Can I ask Director Chen for a favor..."
Chen Chuan looked at him quietly.
Skarsson said with difficulty: "Could you please not disclose this matter to the outside world?"
If this matter of the investigation team were to be exposed, it would definitely be a huge scandal. They were clearly an organization whose mission was to protect the safety of the world, but they were secretly plotting to usurp the central city of a certain country. Once the whole world knew about it, it would be enough to cause a devastating blow to the entire investigation team.
Chen Chuan said: "Mr. Skarsson, even if you don't tell me, I won't reveal this."
This matter is too big. As the only direct successor left from the Grand Alliance era, if the Investigation Team collapses, it will have an immeasurable impact on the world situation, which is extremely detrimental to the defense of the World Ring.
Not every country in the world is strong now, and the investigation team still maintains limited fairness under certain circumstances, at least on the surface.
Not to mention that there are many fighters in the investigation team, some of whom are trained by themselves, and some of whom are there to volunteer. If the investigation team no longer exists, it will definitely be easy for chaos to occur.
But not exposing it doesn't mean he won't pursue it.
He said: "For this incident, I need the investigation team to give Jibei Province a clear explanation, an explanation that satisfies us."
Skarsson showed a grateful look and promised solemnly: "Director Chen, we will do it. I guarantee it with my personal life and reputation."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly. He believed in this man's character. Even at the most dangerous moment, this man had never wavered. However, belief was one thing, but some things still had to be ensured.
He said: "Regarding Mr. Korva, what he did was too extreme. Now we can only ask him to stay with us. We will discuss how to deal with him later."
Skarsson said in a low voice: "I know, it might be better for him to stay with you. I will explain everything to the members of the investigation team when I return."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "That's it. If you need help, you can contact me again." With that, he turned and left. As the footsteps faded away, his figure gradually disappeared in the light.
After waiting for a long time, Skarsson finally stood up again. He moved slowly outside and saw the traces left by the fight. Koval had been taken away, and the shield and dagger he used were also gone.
After Chen Chuan left the disturbed area, he first asked the processing bureau and the city patrol to control the area and search for any suspicious things.
He then contacted Qi Weizhao and told him about the situation. Qi Weizhao responded quickly and said, "Director Chen, please bring the people back immediately. We need to hold a safety decision-making meeting as soon as possible."
Chen Chuan said hello, and he immediately dispatched an airship to bring everyone up. However, more than a quarter of an hour later, all members of the security team appeared on the field screen.
Qi Weizhao first explained in detail the situation reported by Chen Chuan, and asked for opinions and countermeasures from each team member on how to deal with the matter.
Yao Zhiyi thought for a moment and spoke first: "Let me tell you my opinion. I have met several members of the investigation team before. They are all people who are willing to sacrifice and have a strong spirit of dedication. I don't think it is possible that the entire investigation team has such a problem. This is not the overall will of the investigation team, but only a small number of people have such an idea.
It's not that I trust them so much, but all members of the investigation team are bound by the agreement. This is one of the factors that the international community trusts them. Even if one or two people may have a temporary deviation, it is impossible for all of them to be like this. In fact, they couldn't even deal with the two people they sent this time, which makes me more convinced of this judgment.
I personally think that this is more like a solitary act by some members of the investigation team. They may have been bewitched and instigated by certain interest groups and acted as the frontline thugs. "
He concluded, "They were being used."
Commissioner Liang said: "I agree with Principal Yao's judgment. I also think that the ordinary members of the investigation team should not know what is going on here, because ordinary people are too easy to leak information, which is not conducive to maintaining the secrecy of the operation."
"Yeah, they must have been used. Do they really think they can take over Central City with this opportunity?"
Qiao Weiting shook his head. "This idea is too naive. Maybe they really believed the international rhetoric."
It is true that if a series of security incidents occur in a central city, the investigation team is nominally allowed to take over, but in practice, this is simply impossible to achieve.
Even if we put aside the opinions of the majority of the people in Jibei and the interests of the country, everything in the world depends on strength. The Dashun army is stationed here, and three fighters including Chen Chuan are in the central city. You want to take over? Ask them first if they agree or not? Moreover, can anything that cannot be obtained through strength be easily obtained with just a few empty words and a so-called name? This is simply a joke.
Allowing the investigation team to intervene this time is already the maximum cooperation and concession. Trying to take over the central city by taking advantage of a security incident is too unrealistic. Unless the Grand Alliance still exists at this moment, such a thing is impossible to achieve.
Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: "The reason behind this is not to seize the central city, but to use it to induce internal conflicts in Dashun and hinder the progress of our Jibei Road. They want to push us back to the past, back to the time when certain people and groups could reap benefits at will."
He looked up and said, "We need to find out who's behind this."
Qi Weizhao looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Director Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Chuan said, "We need to find the person, but I suggest we wait for news from Mr. Skarsson first. Now that delegations from various countries have gathered, anyone could be the one who did this. There will be a public meeting at the end of the month. I think we can first deal with Jibei Province's own affairs, and then talk about other things when the situation stabilizes."
Qi Weizhao nodded happily, "Yes, we should take the lead and not be led by others. If we lose our composure, this may be what our enemies want to see. We should first make sure that what we are working on has a result, and then deal with those residual problems.
But the security work at hand must be done well, and no mistakes can be made." He said solemnly: "I'll leave this to you all."
Chen Chuan and other team members responded solemnly.
After the group meeting, Qi Weizhao turned off the field screen. He sat in his seat and thought for a moment, asked his secretary Qiao Yang to go out, and then came to his desk.
He reached for a rarely used independent phone, picked up the receiver, dialed a number, waited for a while, and then said, "I'm Qi Weizhao, I want to report something."
In the White Bird District, two people in black suits were still standing in front of the French windows, looking at the central city outside.
The tall and thin man on the left said, "No news has been sent back. The plan must have failed."
The short fat man on the right looked at the dial, and the pointer on it turned a few more circles in the opposite direction. He said: "The variable has increased again."
"So, do we need to take the initiative to expose this matter?"
"The world cannot afford to have too much turmoil. The investigation team is still useful for now, but it is of no real help in curbing the situation in Jibei Province."
The short fat man said: "The plan has failed. There is no need to stay here any longer. Let's evacuate. Before that, let's clean up the mess here first."
The tall, thin man said, "I'll take care of it."
Two hours later, in Jiyang District, in the underground base.
The deputy came to Commissioner Cao's desk, and the latter asked without even looking up, "What about it?"
Then he noticed something and looked up. His deputy handed him a report with a serious expression and said, "It was just sent from the White Bird District."
Commissioner Cao took it. It was a photo of two people being shot dead, but it was recognizable that they were the people he had planted there.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Take good care of their family, and you can deliver the pension yourself."
"Commissioner, I'll do it myself."
The deputy responded, and then he couldn't help but say, "Commissioner, is it possible that these people..." He hesitated and still didn't say it.
Commissioner Cao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes." The adjutant saluted and left.
Commissioner Cao sat there, seemingly waiting for something. Not long after, the phone on the desk rang and he reached out and picked it up.
A voice came from the microphone: "Commissioner Cao, there are some things you can investigate, but there are some things you should not cross the line. I don't think I need to teach you this."
Commissioner Cao said: "Old Chu, you are a member of the National Special Operations Committee. I hope you can at least be a human being first, instead of being their dog."
The person on the other end didn't say anything for a while, and finally said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you." Then he hung up.
