The Atlas of Heaven Fetal Heart. April 11th. Chen Chuan left the Mysterious Palace Tower early in the morning, drove out of Central City, and headed north along the National Highway, arriving at a highway Checkpoint far away from Yi Mu . Upon arriving here, the Biological Field was no longer effective, and the Boundary Token was completely silent. He didn't go through the Checkpoint. After stopping the car, he came to a public telephone booth by the roadside. Walking inside, he picked up the receiver, inserted over a dozen coins, and dialed a phone number. After waiting a while, a voice sounded, "Whom are you looking for?" Chen Chuan said, "Chang's Inn? I'm looking for Little Chang." After a pause, he said, "I'm Chen Chuan ." "Oh, it's Little Chen? I remember you." The person on the other end seemed to be a waiter who had seen Chen Chuan before. She said, "Little Chen, wait a moment, I'll go get the owner." After waiting for a short while, there seemed to be someone shouting on the other end of the phone, followed by a series of quick and light footsteps rapidly approaching the telephone. It felt like the moment he picked it up, Chang Ba's voice came through. "Little Chen, is that you? Haha, what made you think of calling me? I remember you wrote last year saying you were going to Central City? You should be in Central City now, right? How are things going?" Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Little Chang, I'm in Central City, and everything is fine." "That's good." Chang Ba exclaimed with a hint of envy, "Central City, it's really nice. I haven't had the chance to go yet. I heard it's different from the outside. What do you think?" Chen Chuan said, "How should I put it? If you want a realityEvaluation from me, then in Central City, everyone's neighbor is like a sleeping devil. Sometimes people turn into devils, and sometimes devils turn back into people." Chang Ba couldn't help but widen his eyes and clicked his tongue, saying, "Is it that exaggerated? But I also feel like it's not exaggerated. Sigh, if Central City is like you say, then why does everyone want to go there?" Chen Chuan said, "Perhaps it's because there are also stairs leading to the sun here." Chang Ba thought for a moment and said seriously, "Understood." "But not everyone wants to go. Little Chang, don't you not want to go?" "Of course, I don't want to go, hahaha..." After Chang Ba laughed for a while, he cleared his throat and asked curiously, "Little Chen, what's the matter that you called for?" Chen Chuan said, "Is Teacher He there?" "Uncle He? He's here. Are you looking for him? I'll go get him. Wait a moment." Chen Chuan waited patiently. More than ten minutes later, the receiver was picked up, and He Xiaoxing's deep voice came out: "Student Chen ?" Listening to the voice, Chen Chuan could imagine the tall and sturdy figure behind the receiver with his hair disheveled. He said, "Teacher He , it's me. Your student is preparing to take action against Zhao Qian soon." He Xiaoxing didn't ask why, but asked in a deep voice, "What are you planning to do?" Chen Chuan explained his thoughts and general implementation plan. Some parts were relatively complex, and he gave some additional explanations. Finally, he said, "I'm still missing a key element. Teacher He , I want a photo of Senior Student Shen ." He Xiaoxing said in a deep voice, "I'll send it to you in the next two days. After you confirm it, remember to send me the specific date and time of the action via Telegram." Chen Chuan's heart stirred, he said okay, and after ending the call, he hung up the receiver. He understood He Xiaoxing's meaning; it seemed he wanted to participate in this matter. However, among those involved in Shen Zheng's death, only Zhao Qian , the person who directly participated at the time, was still doing well outside. It was also time to bring this matter to a complete end. Walking out of the phone booth, he returned to the Jiade car, started the vehicle, and headed back to Central City. A quarter of an hour later, as Central City became increasingly visible in the sea mist ahead, the Boundary Token began to recover. He contacted Gao Ming , who was waiting for news, and said, "Gao Ming , we can begin." April 14th, United Power Heavy Industries Company Building. Zhao Qian was contacting a client on a business matter when suddenly an emergency communication came through. It was from his assistant. He was very displeased, apologized to the client, and asked, "What is it?" The assistant's tense and hurried voice came out: "Supervisor , the Internal Work Review Committee is here. They're already on their way to your office." Zhao Qian's expression tightened. What were they here for? The Internal Work Review Committee was an audit team stationed in Jibeidiao Central City by the main Company, responsible for recording, reporting, and monitoring. When necessary, they would convey and implement some of the main Company's decisions, but they usually had little presence and would not appear before him unless... Outside, the female assistant's hurried voice of dissuasion could be heard, followed by footsteps. The office door was pushed open directly, and three people in dark Company uniforms walked in. The newcomers were two men and one woman, all with obvious Embedded lines on their faces and expressions devoid of any emotion. One of the men came to him, slightly parted his legs, and stood in front of the desk. After Zhao Qian stood up, the man said in an official tone: "Manager Zhao , this morning, the Company received an investigation letter from the Processing Bureau, accusing you of being suspected of murdering a candidate for the Processing Bureau. We represent the main Company in questioning you. Please reasonably explain this matter." Zhao Qian's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any abnormality on his face and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to trouble the main Company, but this is completely slanderous." The woman at the end immediately recorded his answer with a pen, while also pressing on her Boundary Token, seemingly communicating with someone. This invisibly created a sense of pressure. The man looked at him and continued to ask emotionlessly, "The Processing Bureau requires you to accept their summons within two days to accept investigation and questioning. Do you have anything to say to the Company?" Zhao Qian said solemnly, "Please convey to the Company's directors that I will handle this matter in a timely manner and will not allow the Company's business to be affected." The man said, "Manager Zhao , we will truthfully convey your words. The Company will evaluate your business capabilities, as well as its opinion on your handling of the situation. The evaluation form will be sent to you within two days." Zhao Qian said, "I will comply with the Company's arrangements." The man said, "The questioning is over. Manager Zhao , Director Xing wants to speak with you. Please pay attention to contacting him later. Goodbye." After speaking, the three people left without looking back. After they left, Zhao Qian's expression immediately darkened. He didn't know where things had gone wrong. How had he been exposed? How much did the Processing Bureau know? Logically speaking, his requests were made through the platform and should never expose himself. But thinking about these things now was useless. He had to figure out how to handle this matter. He immediately contacted Director Xing. This director was nominally the highest manager of the Central City branch, but in reality, he had not been working here for a long time and stayed at the main Company instead. After the connection was established, a recording of an impatient message came from inside: "Zhao Qian , regardless of whether you did this or not, resolve it as soon as possible. The Company's Escort mission for this month is just around the corner. Before and after this, I don't want to hear similar news again." seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After the message ended, the call was immediately disconnected. Zhao Qian thought for a while with a cold face. He walked to the window and contacted someone. After the connection was established, he asked, "How is the investigation going?" "Boss, nothing has been found for the time being. His schedule is very regular, and he hasn't been seen meeting with anyone special. The only exception, well, is that he goes to Mo Tie Mountain once a month. I checked, and this should be a teacher arranged for him by the Processing Bureau, but the internal defenses of Mo Tie Mountain are very strict, and the specific identity of that person is temporarily unknown." Zhao Qian said in a deep voice, "Since there are no results yet, stop investigating for now. Wait for my news." "Looks like you have something going on, Boss. As you wish, I'll stop now." Zhao Qian took a deep breathing. He couldn't act against Chen Chuan for the time being because now that the Processing Bureau had made this matter public, they would definitely be watching him next. Even the slightest movement would cause even greater trouble. After finally settling the previous troubles, the Processing Bureau was now targeting him again. This was enough to make those within the Company who were eyeing his position stir again. He had to deal with these things in a timely manner. He carefully pondered for a long time, and finally contacted another person using the Boundary Token. The other end answered after a while, but no sound came out, but he knew that the other person must be listening. He said, "Help me one more time." After a short while, a soft voice of a Young woman came out: "What do you want to do?" Zhao Qian said calmly, "The Company's quarterly assessment is coming up soon. I need to successfully complete the last Escort mission of this quarter. After this, I will apply to be transferred away from Jibei Province and give up this position." Seeing that the other side remained silent, he continued, "I know you hate me, but I am very important to you. You don't even have one trustworthy person outside right now. No matter how much you hate me, I can still be your eyes and ears and support outside." After a long time, the Young woman's voice sounded again: "Okay." After Zhao Qian ended the call, he looked ahead with cold eyes. Things were not over yet. Two days later, on April 16th, Zhao Qian left the United Power Heavy Industries Company, taking his private Lawyer and went by car to the Processing Bureau to accept the Processing Bureau's investigation and questioning. Since the destruction of Molan Company, he had been here several times. This time, the Processing Bureau was still very rude to him, and even asked him to take out the Boundary Token for inspection during the questioning. However, this was rejected by his private Lawyer on the grounds of suspected leakage of Company secrets, and demanded that the Processing Bureau produce real incriminatingevidence, rather than intimidating his employer. The people from the Processing Bureau only presented some ambiguous evidence, but they hinted between the lines that as long as he cooperated to a certain extent, they would not bother him during this period and in the future. Zhao Qian understood what the Processing Bureau wanted him to do, but agreeing to the Processing Bureau was a terrible choice. If he lost his position as a Company manager, he would be worthless to the Processing Bureau, and it would be easier to manipulate him. On the contrary, if he persisted, he could still protect himself, so he made no response. The Processing Bureau obviously didn't expect him to give in at once. After making him stay at the Processing Bureau for twelve hours, they released him and asked him to continue accepting questioning tomorrow. At this moment, Chen Chuan had already received the results from Ni Qianxi . He said to Gao Ming , "The Processing Bureau really doesn't plan to deal with Zhao Qian ." Gao Ming said, "As expected. A mid-level supervisor in charge of key affairs is of great value. The Processing Bureau won't give up so easily. If Zhao Qian is dealt with, a line will be cut off. But luckily, he's now in the open and can't act against you for the time being. Even if he needs to, it will be when he's out. If he's outside and someone launches an attack on you, he can clear his name and ensure that Jibeidiao Central City won't be able to hold him accountable for the time being." Chen Chuan said calmly, "He won't have that chance." At this time, Wu Bei's excited and nervous voice came from the Boundary Token: "Little Chen, he's out of the Processing Bureau." Chen Chuan said, "Okay, Little Wu, I'm counting on you for what comes next."
