Lan Xin'an heard what Chen Chuan said, it was clear that what he had said to her before was not just empty words. She felt a little relieved, and then she explained in detail the difficulties she was currently encountering. In reality, the matter was not complicated. Because the Lower City District had a dense tunnel system, it could almost reach every area of the Upper City District. Moreover, there was the largest black market in the entire Central City. The Lower City District also needed to purchase some necessities from the Upper City District, so there were many people engaged in the logistics business in this area. Clear Path Logistics was originally one of the major teams, but in recent years, a series of serious problems had occurred. One of them even involved losing an extremely important cargo. After paying a huge amount of compensation, internal conflicts arose due to the distribution of benefits, which led to team splitting. A relatively important team was directly poached by the competitor, Poison Ant Express. To make matters worse, the team's original supervisor and financial staff disappeared together, and the entire logistics organization came to a standstill. The remaining people then sought their own ways out. Lan Xin'an was originally security personnel . She and some people who were unwilling to leave took over the original business and tried to restore some of the operations. Although it was not as good as before, they could still manage to operate in some areas due to their previous reputation. However, Poison Ant Express did not stop there, and they had been using violent means to drive them out and suppress them. Especially in the past two months, their actions had been frequent, and they had encountered multiple attacks in succession. If it weren't for Lao Bian , a Third Limit Martial Combat expert in their team, the other side would be a bit apprehensive. Moreover, the team itself was composed of a large number of security personnel , who were experienced in dealing with low-intensity combat, they might not have been able to hold on. However, Lao Bian was also unreliable. This Third-Limit Martial Artist had a big appetite, constantly demanding various supplies and money from them, but he had not taken the initiative to attack even once. He would only come forward to mediate after others had attacked them. This time, because the things Lao Bian demanded had exceeded their bottom line, Lan Xin'an did not intend to continue cooperating with him. Chen Chuan considered for a moment and said, "I want to ask a question. Clear Path Logistics should have had the backing of a certain force to grow to its current size. Who was your original supporter?" Lan Xin'an said, "Our original supporter was the Iron Fist Society, but the Iron Fist Society no longer exists. I don't know the specifics, but I only know that when Clear Path Logistics had problems, they were already overwhelmed. Later, they disbanded even faster than us. And the supporter of the Iron Fist Society seems to be Jin Yu Corporation. I only heard a senior mention this, and I'm not sure." Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. There were many companies in Central City. The Processing Bureau mainly focused on large and medium-sized companies, but he happened to have some impression of this Jin Yu Corporation because it was a Security guard Company. All companies that were related to force, regardless of their size, were under the attention of the Processing Bureau. Moreover, this company happened to be somewhat involved with United Power Heavy Industries. It seemed to have encountered some trouble before the new year and had now been acquired by United Power Heavy Industries. That's why many gangs relied on companies for funding and technical support. The business in the Lower City District could not have grown without the backing of gang forces. Once they lost their martial power and financial backers, they would be like meat on a chopping board, waiting for others to divide them up. He said, "I understand roughly. How many Third-Limit Martial Artists are there on the other side?" "How many? No, only one." Lan Xin'an thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, the resources in the Lower City District cannot be compared to those in the Upper City District. Most Third-Limit Martial Artists are supported by large gangs and teams. If Clear Path Logistics's business hadn't been big enough in the past, we might not have been able to hire someone like Lao Bian ." She said helplessly, "That's why I have always tolerated Lao Bian , because we really can't find anyone else without him." Chen Chuan said, "One?" He thought for a moment, "I can help you solve this matter. But have you thought about it? Even if it's solved, as long as you don't have enough strength behind you, this kind of thing will happen again in the future. Even if it's not Poison Ant Express, other forces will be eyeing you." Lan Xin'an said frankly, "I have considered this question. Brother Chen, if you are willing, after this matter is resolved, we want to borrow your name to deter others. During this period, we will give you a portion of our extra income. Although our business is not as good as before, as long as we get it up and running, we can provide a lot of resources. We will take this time to contact some forces to join, so that we can stabilize the team." Chen Chuan nodded slightly. Lan Xin'an "s thinking was still relatively clear. She knew what the focus was and thought about what to do next. Whether she could do it or not was another matter, but at least this path was feasible. He said, "I need some data on that Third-Limit Martial Artist behind Poison Ant Express. Also, give me a copy of Lao Bian "s data as well." He would not underestimate any opponent. If he could learn some information in advance, it would be easier to solve the problem. He would not reject an easier method. Moreover, the more cleanly he solved it, the greater the deterrent effect on the outside would naturally be. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lan Xin'an heard him say this and knew that he had clearly agreed. She said, "Lao Bian "s data… Brother Chen, are you saying that he will be detrimental to us?" Chen Chuan looked at her and said, "I don't know what he will choose, but we need to prepare in advance." Lan Xin'an actually had concerns in this regard, but since she had made a decision, she would not back down. Originally, she was thinking of reminding Chen Chuan , but the latter thought of it one step ahead, which made her feel that Chen Chuan was very reliable. She said very decisively, "Okay! I will go and collect it immediately. Brother Chen, if you need anything else…" She tapped the Boundary Token and requested a contact from Chen Chuan , "Just tell me directly." Chen Chuan added the contact and nodded, saying, "Okay, I will find Captain Lan if anything comes up." Lan Xin'an was a decisive person. After settling things with Chen Chuan , she immediately went to find the team's leaders again. After everyone arrived, she did not mention the matter of finding Chen Chuan first, but instead talked about Lao Bian "s request to add another 20 percent. As soon as these words came out, it was as if a pot had exploded. Xiao Ding was the first to jump up and disagree. Others also said that Lao Bian was going too far this time. The team had already been squeezed to the bottom line, and they had given as much as they could. He was still not satisfied. Seeing the aroused emotions, Lan Xin'an then told them about her persuading Chen Chuan to take action. The few of them couldn't help but be excited. Lao Cao asked in surprise, "Xiao Nan, Brother Chen is willing to take action? Did you go and persuade him just now?" Lan Xin'an shook her head and said, "I didn't persuade him. Brother Chen is willing to help us because of his relationship with Master and Xiao Ke." "So it's because of Mr. Yu's reputation." Everyone thought so. Where would a Third-Limit Martial Artist with a proper identity in the Upper City District look at so little from them? This time, he was willing to take action probably entirely because of personal feelings. Yun Jie said, "I said it, we should find a reliable person. Lao Bian is unreliable." Xiao Ding was the most excited: "Yes, Lao Bian , that old geezer, I've long been displeased with his old face. This time, we'll dump him, and we don't have to look at his face anymore." Old Shen was responsible for the financial side. He didn't understand Martial Combat and didn't know the division of strength between Martial Artists . He couldn't help but worry about this. He: "Xiao Nan, that Brother Chen looks very young. Can he do it?" In fact, not only him, Lao Cao and Yun Jie were also a little unsure in their hearts. After all, they knew nothing about Chen Chuan , and the Martial Artist on Poison Ant Express's side was said to be extremely fierce. Lao Bian had repeatedly emphasized that this person's strength was very strong, so they had psychological shadows after so long. Lan Xin'an had great confidence in Chen Chuan . After all, she had seen the recording of Chen Chuan fighting Wei Wusheng . Although she was only Second Limit, as a Martial Artist , she could see some things and naturally had a yardstick of judgment in her heart. She said in a very certain tone, "Shen Shu , Lao Cao , Yun Jie , don't worry, Brother Chen definitely has no problem. He will definitely be able to deal with the person from Poison Ant Express." "That's good, that's good." Seeing her say this, although the few of them were still a little uneasy in their hearts, they were somewhat more at ease. Lan Xin'an discussed with everyone here and carefully arranged some follow-up matters. She came alone to an open space far away from everyone and contacted Lao Bian . The Boundary Token first played a waiting tone from an old drama. After waiting for a while, the other side connected, and Lao Bian "s voice came out: "Xiao Nan, how are your considerations going? The other side has come to talk to me again. This situation is different from the past, you have to think clearly." Lan Xin'an said, "Uncle Bian, we have already discussed it. This matter may involve Uncle Bian going to fight the Martial Artist on the other side. We really can't bear it, so we decided not to trouble Uncle Bian and deal with it ourselves." "…Xiao Nan, if you think adding 20 percent is too high, Uncle Bian can find a way to reduce it a bit in consideration of our past relationship…" Lan Xin'an said very seriously, "No, we can't let Uncle Bian suffer. Uncle Bian, you were right before. If it weren't for our past relationship, Uncle Bian could go anywhere and wouldn't have to spend time on us juniors. Uncle Bian, we have really been a burden to you these days. Now we understand, we will deal with our own affairs and won't trouble Uncle Bian." "…" There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then the call ended. Lan Xin'an ended the contact and turned around neatly, walking back towards the place where the convoy lights were gathered with firm steps. On the other side of the Boundary Token, Uncle Bian sat there with a gloomy face. He looked like an old man in his fifties, but his actual age was sixty-nine years old, but the slightly loose flesh on his body was still wrapped in strong muscles. He sneered, "Want to kick me out? Not so easy!" … …
