September 1st, the first day of school at Wuyi University[-]. At six in the morning, Chen Chuan tidied up in front of the wardrobe mirror, putting on the formal student uniform of Wuyi University[-], which Yu Wan had already ironed neatly for him. He reached out to pick up the student cap, placed it properly on his head, straightened his clothes, turned to the door, picked up a suitcase, walked outside, took one last look at the room, and then slowly closed the door. Yu Wan was waiting in the living room and advised, "Xiao Chuan, no one will take care of you at Wuda[-], remember to eat more, don't study too hard, remember to sleep early, don't tire yourself out." Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the school is always generous with food and accommodation, and there will be holidays every ten days, I will come back to see auntie and uncle." seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Yu Wan came up to adjust his cuffs, patted them, stepped back two steps, and said with satisfaction, "My Chan'er is so handsome." Chen Chuan said, "Auntie, I'm leaving, please say hello to uncle for me." "Okay, be careful on the way." Chen Chuan pushed the door open and was greeted by a breath of fresh air. Today he didn't ride a bike, but walked directly to Wuyi University[-]. He went over the day's schedule in his mind. The opening ceremony was probably at nine o'clock, before that he had to go to the dormitory to drop off his luggage. After the ceremony, senior students would lead them to familiarize themselves with the campus and understand the main directions for the future. After that, it was free time, and tomorrow would officially start the new learning journey. After walking for less than an hour, he could already see the school gate. Just as he was about to walk over, a silver-gray Tuotu car drove up and stopped not far in front of him. The door opened, and a tall young man with neat black short hair, wearing a straight navy blue imported suit, a tie, and black leather shoes polished to a mirror shine, got out. "Chen Chuan, is that you?" the young man smiled and walked over, extending his hand, "Let me introduce myself, Wei Chang'an, a third-year student at Wuyi University[-]." Hearing the name, Chen Chuan's heart stirred. He reached out and shook his hand, saying, "Hello, senior, are you Wei... Wei captain's son?" Wei Chang'an smiled and said, "Yes, I am Wei the Tiger's son, there's no need to be shy about the nickname, just call him Tiger."Chen Chuan looked at him. He had met Wei the Tiger before, a boisterous, fierce, and burly man. He never expected his son to be such a respectable person. This person seemed to have come specifically to find him, so he asked, "Senior Wei, what can I do for you?" "Well..." Wei Chang'an became slightly more serious, "Junior Chen Chuan, there is currently a college dispatch mission that requires your cooperation. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you won't be able to attend the opening ceremony on time today." Chen Chuan was somewhat surprised and said, "Dispatch mission? Senior Wei, are you sure? I'm just a freshman who hasn't even started school yet..." At this moment, the car window in the back seat rolled down, and a somewhat familiar, deep voice came from inside, "Student Chen, you go with him. This is a task assigned to you by the school. Wei Chang'an will explain the specific situation to you." Chen Chuan looked and found that the person was also someone he knew, Bian Feng, the lecturer who had admitted him during the entrance exam. He quickly greeted, "Hello, Teacher Bian." Bian Feng said, "Student Chen, by passing the re-examination, you are now a top student of the school. You have the obligation and responsibility to cooperate with the Civil Affairs Department and its subordinate departments." He took out two forms and said, "Wei Chang'an, give these to him, and have him sign the other one." Wei Chang'an ran over to take them and then walked back, handing them to Chen Chuan, saying, "This is the school's travel form for you. With this form, you can be exempted from school activities and obtain limited defense rights." Chen Chuan took it and glanced at it. It had the seals of three school departments: the Recruitment Office, the Affairs Office, and the Execution Office, as well as the signature of Vice Principal Gu Botang. Wei Chang'an handed over a pen and said, "Please sign the second form, junior. Teacher Bian needs to take it back for filing." Chen Chuan thought about it. It seemed this matter was decided by the school's management. So, he could only comply, but he didn't know what exactly it was about. Was the reason he was chosen related to that re-examination? He took the pen and signed on it. Wei Chang'an took it, looked at it, walked back, and handed it to Bian Feng. Bian Feng put it into the briefcase he was carrying, got out of the car, and said, "I'll head back to the school first. I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to handle it well." Wei Chang'an said, "Rest assured, Teacher Bian."Bian Feng walked towards the school gate with his briefcase, while Wei Chang'an extended his hand and said, "Junior, let me help you put your luggage in the trunk." Chen Chuan said thank you, Wei Chang'an took it, walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, put the suitcase in, then walked to the front and opened the car door, gesturing with his hand, "Junior, get in the car, let's go now, finish early so you can come back sooner." Chen Chuan walked over, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt. Wei Chang'an also got in from the other side, fastened his seatbelt, placed his hand on the steering wheel, turned the car key, and with a series of skilled operations, the algae oil engine roared to life, and they drove onto the main road. After driving for a while, seeing that Chen Chuan hadn't spoken, he smiled and said, "What, feeling a bit regretful about missing the opening ceremony? In my opinion, what's so great about the opening ceremony? A bunch of old folks talking up there, it's annoying to listen to. If you want to know anything, just ask your brother Wei." Chen Chuan said, "Senior, can I ask what this mission is about?" "Don't call me senior, just call me Brother Wei, well..." Wei Chang'an looked ahead and said, "Actually, this matter is related to you." "Huh?" Chen Chuan was slightly surprised. Wei Chang'an said, "Do you remember someone attacked you on the road before the re-examination?" Chen Chuan thought for a moment, then said in surprise, "Is it related to that incident?" Wei Chang'an said, "The person who attacked you is called Dou Qi, he was responsible for protecting an underground drug exchange. When the patrol bureau went to arrest him that day, they discovered a fugitive named Tong Qianjiang, oh, this person is an accomplice of a group of fugitives who escaped from Qiguang Prison three months ago and have not been captured until now..." At this point, he turned on the right turn signal and took a side road, Chen Chuan looked at the direction, it should be heading towards the east of the city. Wei Chang'an continued, "After discovering this lead, Captain Yu... oh, that's the Xigang District patrol captain who led the team that day, he reported the matter and conducted some interrogations. Dou Qi's employer is called Old Hei, who controls a channel for banned drugs, and this time Tong Qianjiang came to buy anti-mutation drugs, which is quite interesting." Chen Chuan pondered and said, "Anti-mutation drugs? I think I've heard of them somewhere?"Wei Chang'an glanced at the rearview mirror and continued, "Implants, you know? World giants and major corporations use bio-cultivated bodies to replace human limbs and organs, thereby gaining functions beyond human capabilities. Of course, military and civilian products differ. Most of what's circulating outside are civilian products. In Central City, it's said that everyone uses them, but these things require long-term use or injection of anti-mutation drugs, otherwise, they can cause mutation reactions, with severe consequences. Implants are not very common outside Central City, perhaps because implantation requires certain technical support. Even anti-mutation drugs are considered contraband outside Central City. Here's the interesting part: when Tong Qianjiang and his gang were arrested, they didn't have any implants. So, why would they need anti-mutation drugs? Did they get implants after escaping from prison, or were they buying them for someone else? The patrol bureau investigated and found that Old Hei's drugs were obtained from his supplier, Qiu Huzi. According to Old Hei's confession, Tong Qianjiang's gang likely obtained drugs from Qiu Huzi before, but later introduced them to Old Hei. However, Old Hei played it safe, fearing implication, so he didn't deal directly but had uninformed subordinates meet with Fang Dawei's people. To find Fang Dawei and his gang, the patrol bureau needs to trace clues from Qiu Huzi, who is under the protection of a leader of the Bloodstain Gang. We're now going to find this person and have him hand over the people." Chen Chuan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Since the matter involves gangs, why doesn't the patrol bureau directly go and arrest them? Instead, why send us Wuyi students to find them?" "Why not directly arrest them? Heh, the Bloodstain Gang is backed by Molan Company. The gang's ostensibly established company is under Molan Company. They not only have their own lawyers but are also supported by Molan Company's legal team. Going through formal channels, without surface evidence, it's hard to hold them accountable." "As for why this matter is handed over to us," Wei Chang'an smiled, leaned forward, took a name card from the front storage box, and handed it to him, saying, "Take a look." Chen Chuan took it and saw it read: "Registered Member of the Commission Association, Key Affairs Commissioner, Wei Chang'an." Wei Chang'an said, "Wuyi Academy students start internships in their second year and can join various departments of the Civil Affairs Bureau or work independently in their third year. I am now a member of the Commission Association, specializing in handling communication and negotiation matters with non-governmental groups."Chen Chuan had also heard about the commission system, which was not only prevalent within the Dashun Republic but also abroad. When a department or individual needed to manage or interact with another entity or organization outside their own system, for the purposes of saving costs and avoiding cumbersome processes, they would hand over the matter to a commissioner, who would be responsible for communication and handling various affairs. These commissioners held a vast network of contacts and resources, with both exchanges and competition among them, and some senior commissioners were even granted powers. Understanding Wei Chang'an's current identity also explained why he could be involved in this matter. Wei Chang'an said, "Rest assured, junior, the commission company I belong to has previously communicated with the leader of the Bloodstain Gang, and they have agreed to hand over the person to us. This time, we're just going through the motions." Chen Chuan questioned, "Is it just because this matter is related to me that you're bringing me along?" Wei Chang'an sighed and said, "Brother Wei is doing you a favor. You know, such dispatched tasks are related to academic evaluations, which concern your future certification, um, those certificates that only Wuyi can take nationwide!" "Then I thank Brother Wei." "That's right, we are all descendants of the Yangzhipatrol bureau. In such a large patrol bureau, including you and me, there are only four who have passed the re-examination. If I don't help you, who will I help?" Chen Chuan thought about it; there is a tradition of unity within the patrol bureau, but... His expression was somewhat subtle, could it be that Wei the Tiger is about to eat the mop, so he sent his son over to sell a favor to me, making uncle too embarrassed to speak up again? ... ...
