The security personnel outside the Atlas of Heaven Fetal Heart Mansion received the distributed rewards within half an hour of Chen Chuan's return, and those with outstanding performance were given position adjustments, making their work even more active. After all, salary increases and promotions, in addition to substantial rewards, also bring spiritual pleasure, which is more inspiring than injecting drugs. Moreover, this time, thanks to Chen Chuan's proper arrangements, everyone reacted quickly when the incident occurred, arriving at the fortification's firepower points almost immediately. The periphery was entirely handed over to Bio-weapons, so there were no casualties after the incident, which made their morale very high, feeling like they could handle another raid right now. Chen Chuan came out of the residence, nodded to the security guard saluting him at the door, and returned to his villa. He put the broken gun aside, flipped through the communication list of the Boundary Token, found Zou Handan of the Secret Serpent Cult, connected, and said, "Mr. Zou, thank you for the support and data you provided before." Because the Viper Group split from the Secret Serpent Cult, the easiest way to understand them, besides getting data from the Processing Bureau, is to ask the Secret Serpent Cult. Of course, the Secret Serpent Cult can give away surface information for free, but other information needs to be purchased, and this money naturally does not need to come out of his own pocket, but is paid by the Processing Bureau. Including previously telling him how to handle the batch of problematic ingredients and daily necessities that were transported up, the Secret Serpent Cult also provided solutions. Zou Handan on the other end said, "Mr. Chen is too polite. I hope Mr. Chen can take care of our business more in the future." Chen Chuan said, "I will when I have the opportunity." He had seen before that the Secret Serpent Cult also has many service items for Third-Limit Martial Artists, in addition to higher-level medicinal snakes for strengthening muscles and bones, as well as ritual services for cleaning residual toxins and external infections after taking special drugs. This is in line with their original Secret Cult identity, and he will take a look when necessary. After thanking him, he ended the communication, then tidied up a bit, took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and after sitting down, brewed a cup of light tea and slowly drank it. This time, confronting several Third-Limit Martial Artists was extremely intense. If it weren't for the detailed data and reasonable tactical arrangements, it wouldn't have been so easy. And if Xu Xianwen was active with team members, then he could only choose to hold his ground. It's hard to say how many people could be left behind, but Xu Xianwen would most likely be able to retreat completely. But then again, being a commander is to enjoy the benefits of being a commander. Of course, things are handed over to subordinates, why would he go to the front line himself? Otherwise, what's the point of being a commander? Xu Xianwen, who has already accumulated a fortune, although very strong, cannot be regarded as a pure Martial Artist. This person, after sensing something was wrong, didn't try to complete the task, but retreated directly, and was always on the way to retreat. After this battle, he also gained a lot. These valuable combat experiences go without saying, and the achievements of these days have also been completely mastered through this opportunity, and he has also gained another way to observe opponents. Most importantly, Second Self has once again been greatly improved. Currently, the merge time alone has reached nine days, and Second Self's strength has gradually approached his Second Limit period. At the same time, he also felt that the closer Second Self is to the main body's strength, the slower the speed of improvement. However, after strength reaches a certain level, even a slight improvement is a great help, so he is not in a hurry. As long as he continues to walk on this path, he will be able to improve it little by little sooner or later. Because he had just experienced a high-intensity battle, he didn't do any more training today, but decided to rest. After leisurely drinking a cup of tea, Ni Qianxi suddenly contacted him. "Little Chen, you're something else. Now the bureau doesn't need to form a Viper Group extermination team. You've taken care of it all by yourself. This time, the bureau has to give you a certificate of merit and increase your salary." Chen Chuan said, "I think so too." Ni Qianxi laughed for a while before saying, "Just wanted to tell you, the bureau has made a decision. Your position remains unchanged, but your rank will be raised by one level. It would have taken at least a year to be promoted, but this time Director Wu directly made the decision. After all, you did a really good job this time." Chen Chuan nodded, "Please thank Director Wu for me, Sister Ni." "I will. But after you come back, you still have to thank Director Wu in person. Okay, I've delivered the message. You should also take a good rest." Chen Chuan thanked her, ended the call, and then picked up a book of data and came to the window, slowly flipping through it against the backdrop of the red maple forest outside. A leisurely afternoon passed just like that. In the evening, Yan Yi sent a message through the Boundary Token, "Mr. Chen, there is an urgent matter that I would like to discuss with you." He said, "I'll be right over." Leaving the villa, he came to the main house's living room and saw Meng Shu and Yan Yi sitting there. Yan Yi even looked serious. He asked, "What's the matter?" Yan Yi stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, just now we received a letter from Grandpa Meng saying that he wants to meet with the young lady tomorrow. He didn't say what it was about specifically." Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Are you sure it's him?" Yan Yi nodded solemnly and said, "It is indeed Grandpa Meng. Although it wasn't Grandpa Meng who contacted us directly, it was a message conveyed by the person closest to him, and the contact details used were the separate signal between him and the young lady, but..." At this time, her idea was actually not to move, because if Meng Huang couldn't do anything to them, the longer they dragged it out, the more beneficial it would be for them. They could sit and wait for the situation to change. Meng Lai, as the helmsman of the Company, couldn't possibly not understand this matter, but now he wants to call them over, which undoubtedly indicates one thing... "Grandpa Meng may want to intervene in this matter," she frowned, "but this goes against Grandpa Meng's consistent approach. We are not sure what his idea is..." This could be a good thing, but they couldn't rule out the possibility of an accident. Meng Shu looked at Chen Chuan. Since she had fully commissioned the security issue to Chen Chuan, she would maintain absolute trust. If Chen Chuan decided not to go, then she would not go either. Although this decision might shake her position as heir, she just remembered a sentence that her grandfather Meng Lai had said to her: at critical moments, if you really don't know how to choose, try to trust the person you can trust. Their opinions are often more reliable than your own thoughts. Chen Chuan thought for a moment. The situation here is very complicated. He needs to discuss this matter with the bureau, and he feels that the helmsman of the Meng Family must have considered this matter as well since he did this. He said, "I'll leave for a while." Meng Shu and Yan Yi knew what he was thinking and nodded. After Chen Chuan left the main house, he contacted the bureau and reported this information. After a while, a notice came. "Chen Executive Officer, please find a safe Boundary Point nearby." Chen Chuan glanced at it. There was a Boundary Point below the Mansion, which was also where the Viper Group team placed the energy field interference creature. He walked directly out of the Mansion, came to the Boundary Point, and stepped on it. After connecting with the bureau again, a huge light screen unfolded, and the figures of Director Wu and Deputy Director Fang appeared inside. Deputy Director Fang said, "Chen Executive Officer, we have received your report. Because things may change at any time, we will keep it short." He emphasized, "After discussing it, we feel that Meng Shu should go." Director Wu said, "Supporting Meng Shu to become the heir, the fight for inheritance is the key. You did a good job before. At this time, everyone knows that Meng Huang has just suffered a heavy blow. Except for his loyal followers, others will definitely choose to wait and see. Meng Lai letting Meng Shu go over at this time is already a preference to some extent, which increases Meng Shu's position and prestige in the Meng family and Company." He paused, "If we guessed correctly, he should be cooperating with us." Chen Chuan considered it. The premise of these things is that Meng Lai does think so. But is that really the case? He asked, "Can it be confirmed that Meng Lai has not been controlled?" Deputy Director Fang said, "We had suspected this situation before, but after some confirmation, this situation can be ruled out. But Meng Lai is very likely to know about Meng Huang's situation, but for the overall interests of the Company, he made some compromises, gave some power to Meng Huang, and established another heir to stabilize the Company and other members of the family, so that they would not all lean towards Meng Huang." Director Wu said, "Chen Executive Officer, after the Viper Group was eliminated by you, Meng Huang doesn't have much military force in his hands, so we can afford to make mistakes. This move is worth a try." He said in a deep voice, "But this still depends on Meng Shu's own thoughts. You can tell her the situation we analyzed, because this matter is not without danger." Deputy Director Fang said, "Because we haven't gotten any solid evidence of Meng Huang colluding with the other side, we can't do anything to him yet. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But based on our judgment of Meng Huang, this matter may stimulate him. If he makes an overreaction, there is a certain possibility that the existence behind him will be exposed." Director Wu said, "We have also made corresponding preparations. Currently, we are closely monitoring several key targets such as Meng Huang's residence, Fusion Boundary, and Ferris Wheel Corporation. If Meng Shu makes a decision, we will dispatch a team to follow behind you, so at least you don't have to worry about anything on the road. But once you get to Meng Lai's place, you can only adapt to the circumstances. His Mansion's security guard level is very high, we can't enter. If you encounter an emergency, we allow you to use drastic measures." Chen Chuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Since the bureau has arranged it this way, I will explain these words to Meng Shu."
