Chapter 219: Meeting

Words : 2058 Updated : Sep 25th, 2025

After Chen Chuan finished his call with Bureau Chief Lei, he thought about it and didn't go straight back to school. Instead, he went to his Little aunt's house first. Because it was a Holiday, the whole family was there. When they were having dinner together in the evening, Nian Fuli suddenly said, "Little Chuan, do you have a team that often dines at the Du Yi Hotel?" Chen Chuan said, "Not often, I've only been there twice." Nian Fuli solemnly reminded him, "Then don't go near that area to eat recently." "What's wrong?" Yu Wan asked with concern. Nian Fuli put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them. "Recently, bombs were found at the Du Yi Hotel." "Bombs?" Yu Wan was taken aback. Nian Fuli sighed and said, "It's not just the Du Yi Hotel. Some other places around the city center have also been found. One was very close to the municipal meeting hall. It should have been planted by the Resistance Organization. Although they were all found and defused in time, I'm just afraid of what might happen. Recently, various companies and officials from other cities have come to hold meetings. The higher-ups have asked us to strengthen security. It seems like the Resistance Organization is targeting this. Their activities probably won't stop anytime soon." Yu Wan looked at Chen Chuan, her eyes full of worry, "Chan'er…" Chen Chuan immediately said, "Little aunt, uncle, don't worry. I won't go near that area for a while." Nian Fuli said, "That's good. Instead of preparing for defense, it's better to avoid it. Don't go if you can help it." Chen Chuan thought to himself, combining his previous deductions, the Resistance Organization's act of planting bombs was likely just to attract the Patrol Bureau's attention, making it easier for them to do other things. The Resistance Organization had used this tactic before, and it had worked repeatedly, because even if the Government Affairs Hall and the Patrol Bureau knew that you were trying to attract attention, they would still have to increase security there, not to mention that this time the incident occurred in the city center. The Administrative Meeting Building, where various parties gather for meetings, is of utmost importance, and it needs to be strictly inspected. After dinner, he stayed at his Little aunt's house for the night and returned to the Academy the next day. He walked around Spring Autumn Lake, slowly guiding his Breathing Technique. After finishing, he went to the Military Combat Department's Training Hall to practice his swordsmanship. Every time he came here to train, a senior student from the Military Combat Department would come to spar with him. He welcomed this, and each time he competed with students using various weapons, he gained a lot of experience in dealing with such weapons. Although he was most likely to encounter firearms outside, once he faced a Martial Artist, it would mostly be a deadly fight and collision between weapons. With a "snap," as the wooden stick couldn't withstand the infusion of Internal energy and broke, a Senior Students opposite him regretfully put down the half of the stick in his hand, clasped his fist at him, and said, "Junior Brother Chen, sorry for bothering you." Chen Chuan also clasped his fist in return. The Senior Students took two steps and couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Chen, how do you control your Internal energy so perfectly?" Chen Chuan thought to himself, isn't this what happens when someone strong fights someone weak? He said solemnly, "I think, only through hard work." The Senior Students thought about it, nodded in agreement, and muttered, "Not enough practice, I have to practice more when I get back." He added, "Thank you, Junior Brother," then threw away the short stick and strode away. The students who had been watching the two fight also clasped their fists at Chen Chuan, left with admiration and excitement, and went to train. After Chen Chuan and the others left, he went to a single training room and practiced his throwing method alone. When used by him, this kind of method is more effective than firearms at close range. One is that it is quick and concealed to launch, and the other is that there is not much noise, which can well make up for the lack of long-range methods. After practicing all morning, he returned to his dormitory, took a shower, and was about to go to the cafeteria for dinner when the phone on the desk rang. He picked it up. The voice of Bureau Chief Lei came from the other end, saying, "Is this Chen classmate? This is Lei Guangcheng. After talking to you yesterday, I have already sent someone to secretly check Xie Mountain, and so far nothing Anomaly has been found." "It's not there?" Chen Chuan was slightly surprised. Bureau Chief Lei said, "No, I think your deduction should be correct, but the expression of the Secret Ritual does not necessarily have to be completely visible. For example, some materials produced in Central City can do it. With the advancement of technology, some traditional ritual materials are now being replaced, which is even more difficult to guard against. Fortunately, these materials are produced in small quantities, and the number that can be used in the field should be very limited." Chen Chuan asked, "Bureau Chief Lei, does Central City also have Secret Cults?" Bureau Chief Lei said in a deep voice, "It should be said that Central City is a breeding ground for Secret Cults. Every level can get comfort, needs, and even benefits from it. All we can do is Suppress, but we cannot eliminate them." Chen Chuan hummed. "There is another thing I am calling you about today. Because this matter is relatively large, it cannot be solved by the Secret Cult Investigation Bureau alone, so there will be a meeting in two days, and colleagues from other departments will participate in the discussion. I hope you will attend." Chen Chuan said decisively, "Okay, Bureau Chief Lei, I will be there." "That's good, I will notify you of the specific location when the time comes. By the way, your Wuyi Academy alumnus woke up yesterday, and now she is waiting to recover slowly. Even the Martial Artists in the same batch as her are still in a coma. She is considered lucky." Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Bureau Chief Lei." Bureau Chief Lei said, "You're welcome, I'll let you know when I'm ready." After the call, Chen Chuan put down the phone, called Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan who had returned, and went to the cafeteria for dinner. After a short rest, he prepared to continue his afternoon training, but received a call from Cheng Zitong, who told him, "Little Chuan, the new Minister Zhu wants to meet you." "Meet me?" Chen Chuan was slightly surprised and asked, "teacher, what's it about?" Cheng Zitong said, "He was the one who signed your application form before. As the new Mayor, I guess he may want to use you to show his goodwill to Wuyi Academy." Chen Chuan thought for a moment, faintly guessing one of the possibilities, and asked, "teacher, when is it?" Cheng Zitong said, "This new Governor Zhu is very courteous and shows respect for scholars. He said that he knows you are working hard in training, so he doesn't require a specific time. teacher thinks that whether he is sincere or fake, he is putting on a full show, so we shouldn't make him wait too long. Also, the sooner this matter is settled, the fewer people will pay attention to you, so you can concentrate on training." Chen Chuan said, "teacher makes sense. In that case, let's do it now. I have time." Cheng Zitong said, "Okay, then teacher will drive you over. I'll be downstairs in the dormitory in a while." After Chen Chuan hung up the phone, he went back to wash his face, then changed into a formal suit, walked out of the dormitory building, and when he got outside, Cheng Zitong's car had just arrived. He quickly walked forward, opened the door, and sat inside. Cheng Zitong drove out of the school gate and drove south along the avenue. In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the municipal government administrative building located south of the city. He said, "Little Chuan, go in. I called earlier. Someone will greet you when you go in." Chen Chuan nodded, got out of the car, talked to the security personnel in front of the door, and soon a Government Affairs Hall staff member came out and led him into the administrative building very politely. Cheng Zitong waited in the car. About half an hour later, he saw Chen Chuan walking out of it. When Chen Chuan got into the car, he asked, "Did you meet?" Chen Chuan nodded. "What did he say to you? Did he make things difficult for you?" Chen Chuan said, "No, this Mayor is indeed as teacher said, very kind and without any airs. After meeting, he asked about the students' lives. After learning that the application form for the Central City quota had been submitted, he also gave the students some encouragement. He didn't say anything else. It seemed like he just wanted to meet the student." Cheng Zitong said, "Meeting you is his attitude. What he says is not really important." The actions of political figures are never meaningless. They always indirectly convey some information to the outside world. Even if they don't think so, they will consider in advance the possible repercussions and consequences of doing something. Chen Chuan looked at the administrative building. Although this Governor Zhu did not mention anything extra during this meeting, he could feel that the purpose of this visit was likely related to that matter. At this time, the vehicle was restarted and returned along the avenue in the direction of Wuyi Academy. In the Mayor's office, Zhu Xian looked at the map of Yangzhi City. As the newly appointed Mayor, he was Anomaly vigilant about the Resistance Organization and Secret Cult organizations that had been causing trouble in Yangzhi City for a long time. According to the report below, he knew that he might have caught the tails of these people this time. If he could eliminate them in one fell swoop, it would undoubtedly be a very bright achievement, enough for him to establish prestige in Yang Zhi and successfully gain a foothold. But similarly, if this fails, it will also be detrimental to him, so he cannot openly express his position. This time, he met Chen Chuan because he knew that Chen Chuan was one of the participants in this matter. This superficially showed concern for Wuyi's outstanding student and showed goodwill to Wuyi at the same time, without involving anything. If the target is successfully wiped out this time, it will undoubtedly highlight his foresight. Through some clever publicity, others will think that it was successful under his arrangement and encouragement. Even if it fails, as long as it is handled lightly, it will not involve him, so he will not lose anyway. However, this student gave him a Tai Yi feeling. Recalling Chen Chuan standing calmly in front of him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. Generally speaking, teenagers would always be unnatural and nervous when they saw him, which was the gap in hierarchy brought about by identity and status.

However, this student was not only calm throughout the whole process, but also had an unspeakable sense of oppression when he looked over with those calm eyes, which made him unconsciously recall the scene when he faced Wen Tong on the train that day. It was as if his life no longer belonged to him at that time. He secretly decided that he should try to stay away from these Martial Artists in the future, He can't let such people get too close.
