Meng Shu walked to the French window, looked at the night sky outside, and said, "Have you been back to your old house later?" Chen Chuan said, "I have. I went back once before coming to Central City." Meng Shu said, "I still remember the small creek in front of your house. Walking in it during the summer, the water soaked my calves, and it was especially cool. At that time, I was carefree and didn't have to think about anything. And the starry sky at night. I was thinking at that time, if I took a small boat and floated down the creek all the way, would I be able to float all the way to the Milky Way?" Chen Chuan walked over and looked outside as well. Even though it was Autumn, he could still see the twinkling stars. He couldn't help but think of the night at the classmate reunion two years ago. Meng Shu wrapped her arms around herself and said, "Two years ago, I returned to Central City. Grandfather told me the truth about the world. I only then learned that there was another world on the other side, and that the two worlds were about to face a major collision. When I learned about these things, I didn't show much emotional fluctuation. Grandfather was very satisfied with my calmness. But the reason I was like that at the time was simply because I felt that everything around me, although very close and seemingly within reach, did not belong to me. So, no matter how the world changes, what does it have to do with me? Ironically, when I realized that some things could truly be obtained by me, I felt a little scared. Perhaps that was because I had the opportunity to possess them. Little Chuan , when you learned about these things, did you feel scared?" Chen Chuan said, "Actually..." He looked at the magnificent starry sky, "I even felt a little anticipation, because it means that the original shackles are no longer shackles. Perhaps one day, I can rely on myself to go there." Meng Shu said, "I should have thought of it. You have liked adventure stories since you were a child, yearning for the scenery everywhere. I remember every time Aunt Yu talked about those wonderful stories, your eyes would light up, as if you couldn't wait to join in." Chen Chuan thought, this is the original owner's idea, and his idea is those mysterious and unknown things, those that can break the cage and be free from any restraint. Meng Shu sighed softly, "Actually, I once thought about giving up, but this is no longer just my own business. Grandfather's expectations are secondary. Everyone who follows me and surrounds me wants to push me forward. I can't stop. I may be able to sit at the bow of this ship, but when it will stop and where it will go is not something I can decide." Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Your grandfather's idea is to sit back and watch the competition between the two of you, and whoever wins will get the inheritance, right?" Meng Shu said, "I have never known grandfather's true thoughts. I have seen him very few times, perhaps not even as many times as the people around him. He has many sons, but he didn't choose any of them, but instead placed the inheritance on me and Meng Huang . He is the person sitting at the top of the Company. From the moment he makes a decision, both Meng Huang and I need to follow his will. This is the case for both the Meng family and everyone in the Company. Perhaps only when I sit in his position can I know what he really thinks, have my own ideas, and be able to let the small boat carrying me go to where I want to go." She looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Little Chuan , I have never asked you if you are confident, because you always seem to be very confident." Chen Chuan said, "Because as a Martial Artist , all my Strength comes from myself. When I decide to do something, I can face the enemy bravely. I am full of confidence in the Strength I have mastered, because nothing is more trustworthy than this." His voice was very steady. Although he didn't say anything inspiring, it contained an inexplicable Strength. Meng Shu took a deep breathing and looked at the magnificent stars outside again, saying, "Maybe you can really get there, without any small boat, just by yourself." After ending the conversation, Chen Chuan returned to his villa. He continued his daily Cultivation. And after waiting for three days, If it were someone else, without certain additional methods, they couldn't make such accurate judgments as him, and it would be impossible to connect things so well as him. So he took down another And Yan Yi's prediction was correct. Sure enough, after a few days, news came from the Company that the Meng family, on the grounds that Meng Shu was disobedient, had withdrawn the Security guard force sent by that branch of the family. Yan Yi said with some regret, "Actually, this shows that there is nothing wrong with this Security guard team. It's a pity, but it's good that this proves that there is no problem with Meng Gong's side. It should just be that Meng Huang has persuaded some members of the Meng family, otherwise it would be more than this. But they won't stop there. The next step may be to target Miss's industry in the family, and even the part of the income allocated to her by the Company. Fortunately, this matter is not so easy. These legal matters are not so easy to get results. As long as Miss herself does not actively admit defeat, it will be no problem to be involved for a year or even several years. They should just be using this to involve our energy and financial resources." She was right. Two more days passed, and the Company sent a Lawyer's letter to the Mansion, saying that there were objections to the property rights and part of the income of the Mansion where Meng Shu lived. The Mansion had already prepared for this and fully Commissioned a Lawyer to file a lawsuit, and didn't need to win, just needed to delay it. Any qualified Lawyer can do this. Even if something goes wrong with this Lawyer, another person can replace him, so there is no need to worry. At this time, Chen Chuan received a notification from Captain Guan of the Processing Bureau. "Meng Huang has been dealing with affairs in the Company for some time, but has been communicating frequently with the outside world these days, and frequently appearing in public. We suspect that he may be preparing to take action. Executive Officer Chen, you need to be careful. Also, I'll tell you a piece of news. The Processing Bureau has registered two Martial Combat experts from the Outer Ocean entering Da Shun these days, all through the channels of the Ferris Wheel Corporation. But there may be more privately. We will closely monitor these two people, and will put some pressure on the Ferris Wheel Corporation in the near future, but it is not ruled out that they have other means. We will send a piece of Data later, which contains the objects we suspect and the specific analysis of these people. Executive Officer Chen, please pay attention to receiving it." Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After the call ended, he received a large amount of Data from the Boundary Token. This is the convenience of having the Processing Bureau behind him. Even in the Mansion, he can clearly know the changes outside. He opened these Data and looked at them. They were all people who the Processing Bureau believed might pose a threat to the Mansion. The whereabouts of most registered Martial Artist can be monitored, only those who are wanted or criminal gangs, and some who have been smuggled in are worthy of attention. This is also why the Processing Bureau is so wary of experts from the Outer Ocean, because these people often have large company to cover up their whereabouts. As for the platform-hired Martial Artist , the Processing Bureau has tried to communicate with them. Many people responded that someone had indeed contacted them recently, but when they learned that the person they were going to deal with was Chen Chuan , they all said that the risk of this order was too great. The main reason here is the Strength shown by Chen Chuan after his fight with Wei Wusheng , and the fact that Chen Chuan is clearly a member of the Processing Bureau. If Chen Chuan was just an ordinary student with no background behind him, they might consider it, but there is really no need to take the risk of confronting the Processing Bureau to do this. And after this filtering, the scope is greatly reduced. After he had read all of them, he found that there were only three teams that could be listed as truly worthy of suspicion, and within these... While he was reading, in a villa in Mo Tie Mountain, a Resonance Nest was set up in a room, and the branches outside the nest were flashing light. That refined Tall guy was waiting outside. After a long time, the flashing stopped. The Tall guy took a few steps forward and asked, "How is it?" The Resonator inside replied, "The energy field is very strong. It is a professional team, probably from the Processing Bureau. One team is guarding the outside, and one team is responsible for the situation inside. It is impossible to break through." The Tall guy said, "Didn't you say that there are people arranged by the employer inside?" "He is the only one, and it is difficult to do anything. The two teams inside and outside are not subordinate to each other. If we can't break through the periphery, it is meaningless to contact him." "So, this road is impassable?" "Not necessarily. If we can force the Processing Bureau to transfer manpower, or if the employer can send a small team to support us, there may be a chance. Anyway, in its current state, we can't do anything with just us." The Tall guy didn't embarrass him and said, "You only need to focus on technical matters, I will think of other ways." He turned around and contacted someone with the Boundary Token and said, "Boss, I understand. The difficulty is there. It's not that the brothers below are not working hard, but there are really difficulties." He explained the key points inside, "If the employer is unwilling to directly provide manpower, can we raise the price and hire from outside? We only need to break through the periphery to contain them, and someone will respond inside." This is what they must do, because the Mo Tie Mountain residential area has its own Security guard system. There are two small airship patrolling the periphery 24 hours a day, which can arrive at the scene at any time, so shielding the energy field signal is necessary. He talked to the other side for a while, and said again: "...If all of these don't work, then we can only spend a lot of money on the black market to buy a one-time Field Entity to forcibly shield it, but this may only last for a short period of time... Okay, boss, I'll listen to you, prepare both ways, I'll do it now."
