The arrangement for Chen Chuan within The Atlas of Heaven Fetal Heart Processing Bureau was merely an examination, but they didn't rely solely on him. To ensure the capture of Xiong Jian Yi , a team was also dispatched simultaneously, which was the originally planned capture team. This team had been monitoring Xiong Jian Yi since receiving the news of his impending return to Da Shun. However, the team members were not satisfied with the higher-ups assigning a newcomer to carry out the capture. Although such things were customary for the Processing Bureau, no one really wanted to encounter it, because a newcomer meant less experience, unreliability, and too many uncertainties. Moreover, in recent years, almost none of the students supported by the Processing Bureau had performed well from the start. It's not that these people lacked ability, but many were too cautious, unwilling to rush into danger. This was actually a smart choice, but their evaluations wouldn't be very high. So, upon hearing the news, many team members complained, saying they had to be babysitters again, but Captain Li Fusheng skillfully calmed them down. "Team Leader Li!" A team member hurried over, handing Li Fusheng a telegram, "We received a message that Xiong Jian Yi will be arriving at Jiyang Port aboard the Gong Family's "True Treasure' cruise ship." "Gong Family?" Team Leader Li frowned, quite surprised, "How could Xiong Jian Yi be on a Gong Family ship?" He glanced at the telegram. According to the information, the Zaiyuan ferry Xiong Jian Yi was on encountered a malfunction mid-voyage, and all passengers had to drift at sea, sending out telegrams for help. The closest vessel to them was the Gong Family's "True Treasure' cruise ship, which happened to be passing by. They took everyone on board and headed towards the port. Furthermore, the Gong Family seemed to have changed their original itinerary to Weinan Dao, issuing a telegram in advance to discuss a business deal with Yuan'an Corp. Based on the timeline, they would arrive tomorrow morning. After reading it, Team Leader Li immediately instructed, "Get the Gong Family's nautical chart." After a while, a route map was transmitted to his Boundary Token. From this, the Gong Family's cruise ship did indeed pass by there at that time, seemingly just a coincidence. He couldn't help but recall the Gong Family's background. In the old times, the Gong Family was the royal family jointly supported by the sea islands. During the Da Shun Empire, they even received official recognition. After the establishment of the Da Shun Republic, they took the initiative to align themselves, so they were given an honorary title and still hold high prestige on the Outer Ocean islands. Moreover, the Gong Family has shares in various large companies, weaving a vast network of contacts with considerable influence. However, the owner of this cruise ship, Gong Zhanyi , is not the heir of this generation, but a relatively important member of the Gong Family, who often represents the Gong Family in visiting various countries and negotiating business with various companies. The Gong Family also has significant influence in Central City's Luminous Dew District. Since they are coming to Jibeidiao Central City, the target Xiong Jian Yi they are trying to capture may very well use the Gong Family's influence to shield himself. If that's the case, things will become complicated, especially when the Gong Family is about to discuss business with Yuan'an Corp. A team member below asked, "Team Leader Li, what should we do?" Team Leader Li thought for a moment and said, "For now, the operation remains unchanged." The team members immediately cheered up and high-fived each other. Their thinking was simple: why bother so much? They were just a large family from an island nation. Did Da Shun need to consider their face? We are arresting criminals, what does it have to do with you? We'll arrest if we need to. Oh, you're losing face? Well, who told you to bring criminals on board? Team Leader Li considered more, feeling that this matter seemed a little complicated, but he wouldn't disrupt his own plans before seeing the exact specific situation. Inside the Mysterious Palace Tower dormitory, Chen Chuan was methodically preparing. On February 2nd, at 10 PM, Ni Qianxi contacted him and informed him, "We received a message that the passengers from the Zaiyuan ferry have been transferred to the Gong Family's cruise ship. Things may change." "Gong Family?" Ni Qianxi told him about the Gong Family's background and added, "Judging from Xiong Jian Yi "s past, he is vicious and cunning. Since he is on the Gong Family's ship, he may very well mix in with the Gong Family's team to shield himself." Chen Chuan asked, "I have a question. Since he is a wanted criminal in Da Shun, and the Gong Family is a royal family of the islands, there shouldn't be any relationship between them. Then why not inform the Gong Family in advance and have them stay away from this matter?" "Well, how should I put it..." Ni Qianxi thought for a moment and said, "Capturing Martial Artist criminals is only a matter for our Processing Bureau, but dealing with the Gong Family is a matter for the Foreign Affairs Bureau. If we want to deal with the Gong Family, we need to go through the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and it may not go as we wish. Xiong Jian Yi may seem like a heinous wanted criminal to our Processing Bureau, but in the eyes of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, it may just be a trivial matter that doesn't need attention. They might even blame us for being meddlesome and demand that we stop the operation. But... is this really just a trivial matter?" Chen Chuan slowly said, "It is not." He had read the case files. After Xiong Jian Yi committed the crime, someone initially suspected that he might have functional disorder syndrome. But it was later found that this was not the case. Hidden in his room were more than a dozen disassembled skeletons arranged in fixed shapes. Some religious symbols were also engraved on them, which were speculated to be an ancient bloody ritual popular on the outer islands, a very clear form of cult behavior. This is just what they know. Considering the situation in Central City, there are probably more that they don't know. "That's right, it is not. Little Brother Chen, whether this person can be brought to justice tomorrow depends on your actions. The bureau's opinion is to execute him on the spot, no need for a live capture, otherwise, there is still a certain chance he could survive." Chen Chuan understood. If this kind of person were to go through legal proceedings, he might really survive, and there is even a high probability of getting acquitted. He slowly said, "The student will do his best." On February 3rd, a luxurious cruise ship arrived at Jiyang Port. This was a team of one hundred and twenty people, with thirty-nine Gong Family staff members and the rest being drivers and security personnel . After exiting the checkpoint, this group got into cars that had come to pick them up in advance and headed towards the Ferris Wheel Corporation Base located in Luminous Dew District. Gong Zhanyi was not yet thirty, with healthy tanned skin. Although he was not a pure Martial Artist , members of large families like him had to undergo Martial Combat training, so he looked full of spirit. He asked at this time, "Is the person still there?" The steward next to him respectfully replied, "He is in the seventh car at the back. Our people are with him. The news should not escape Da Shun, but we have also informed the Foreign Affairs Bureau in advance." Gong Zhanyi asked, "Was his previous behavior normal?" "Normal. However, when leaving the port, a member of the Heavens' Forgiveness Gang contacted him. We checked, that person is his senior brother Wei Wusheng ." Gong Zhanyi hummed and, after a while, he briefly instructed, "Arrange it properly, don't make mistakes." The steward respectfully said yes. At the same time, on a section of road leading from Ocean Abundance District to Luminous Dew District, Chen Chuan had already arrived in advance at a three-story house by the roadside. This was the point arranged by the Processing Bureau. The Processing Bureau had determined that Xiong Jian Yi would leave the port with the Gong Family's motorcade, so they set up roadblocks at other intersections, forcing the motorcade to pass through here. And this section of the road had several curves, and the motorcade would definitely slow down when passing through, which would be the opportunity. Chen Chuan checked the surroundings and contacted Ni Qianxi , saying, "I have arrived at the designated location." Ni Qianxi said, "Their motorcade is less than ten kilometers away from here. You will see them in at most twenty minutes. The technical staff has checked, and the person should be in the seventh car at the back, but there are also two security personnel and one accompanying staff member on board. How do you plan to deal with it?" Chen Chuan thought for a while and asked, "Will I have to pay for the vehicle damage?" Ni Qianxi giggled, and one could imagine that she must be laughing so hard behind the Boundary Token. Her sense of humor was indeed very low, but she quickly stopped laughing and said, "It would be nice if they weren't held responsible for harboring a wanted criminal, and they still want us to pay for the car? They can dream on. As long as the person is dealt with, the rest is just arguing with the Foreign Affairs Bureau, which we don't need to worry about." Chen Chuan said, "Then I have no problems." "That's good, classmate Chen , it's up to you." Chen Chuan ended the call with her and immediately contacted Wu Bei , "Little Brother Wu, how is it on your side?" Wu Bei said, "It's good to have public Boundary Points available. I can see everything very clearly here. The motorcade is coming towards you and will be there in... sixteen minutes. However, there may be technical experts in the other team, so there may be a bit of interference. But they won't easily borrow the Boundary Point. It's rare for me to be back on my home turf this time, so I'm not afraid of them." Chen Chuan could hear that he was very excited, and this state was good. He checked the things he was carrying and waited for another ten minutes. A long motorcade had already appeared in his line of sight ahead. At the nearest garrison of Processing Bureau, Team Leader Li was watching the advance of the motorcade through the Boundary Token. From the time these people came down from the cruise ship to now, the whole process was under the surveillance of technical staff. Originally, the technical staff's support for them was also limited, but because the matter suddenly involved the Gong Family, the bureau temporarily strengthened technical support for them, but only to be responsible for monitoring and not to do too much. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the designated section of the road, he contacted all the team members, "Are you all ready?" All members immediately responded with full vigor. Captain Li nodded, his expression very serious. The situation this time was more complicated. If Chen Chuan "s capture was not smooth, his men would immediately step up. He stared at the motorcade in the light screen, but just as it was gradually approaching the capture location, suddenly, their Boundary Token turned dark, and the surrounding members were filled with curses. "What's going on?" Captain Li immediately exited the Boundary Token. "Captain Li ," the technical staff immediately reported, "We are experiencing energy field interference." Team Leader Li's expression changed. Now was not a time for foreign affairs meetings. How could the Gong Family use energy field interference within the Central City area? This was a blatant violation of the regulations. "Something's wrong, immediately let Student Chen first..." He suddenly realized that the Boundary Token could not transmit messages, and hurriedly instructed, "Shao Heng, you immediately take a team to the front to meet Student Chen , be quick!" "Yes!" A sturdy team member immediately responded and ran out with his men. Captain Li stared at the direction of the intersection, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, hoping that nothing would go wrong... At the same moment, Chen Chuan , here, suddenly the Boundary Token dimmed, and he suddenly lost contact with Wu Bei . Not only Wu Bei , but all contact with the outside world was cut off. He immediately realized that this was energy field interference. If there was interference, it meant that the other side might already know their actions. Even if they didn't know, consciously interfering meant that they were prepared. So, should he continue to carry out the mission? He looked at the motorcade that was driving towards him. According to the Processing Bureau's emergency regulations for field missions... He held the Snow Emperor Blade in his hand. The first car drove past, soon followed by the second, the third... He slowly drew the blade a little, enforcers, without receiving orders or emergency notices... The fourth, fifth, and sixth cars drove past. Then... he would act according to the established plan!

He suddenly flicked the scabbard to the side, and as the blade came out of its sheath, he jumped forward and leapt down from the balcony, raising the Long Sword high with both hands, and slashed down at the car below!
