Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 355: Internal and External Affairs (Happy New Years Eve, everyone!)

While Jiade car was driving back, Chen Chuan made a special trip to the former site of Melan Building. As expected, it had become Yuan'an Corp's property.

As a munitions company, Yuan'an's security guard strength is also extremely strong, possessing a more elite security guard force than Molan Company. Armed patrol vehicles pass by from time to time, and the square is filled with transport vehicles and armed vehicles ready to be dispatched at any moment.

However, unlike Molan Company, Yuan'an Corp seems to be just a company outpost. It has no industries or factories near the city, nor does it deal with the city's higher-ups.

Its main activities seem to be maintaining the Distant View Port in the east and constructing the northern railway, as if preparing for something.

After leaving there, he went to the Telegram Bureau to send a telegram to He Xiaoxing. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Previously, He Xiaoxing had told him during telegram contact that the Furnace Breathing Technique had a set of applications besides the Breathing Technique itself, but only

After coming out, he returned home and saw the two little ones lying on the sofa, propping up their chins, struggling with a tic-tac-toe game he had brought back.

Zhao Ming was lying on the back of the sofa, seemingly watching the game as well. Seeing him come in, he immediately raised himself up, chirped, flapped his wings, jumped down, and came all the way to his side, climbing onto his shoulder.

Chen Chuan walked to the telephone. Next to it was a note scrawled with " Ding Jiao, call at three o'clock". He smiled, knowing it was written by his cousin Nian Lu. Although Nian Mo was also clever, he was more playful and couldn't write all these characters yet.

So he picked up the phone and called back. As soon as Ding Jiao answered, he immediately said that he had gathered everyone and they would have a great get-together tomorrow, and take a boat to see a movie.

He agreed.

Since it was a holiday, he should relax.

He felt that once he returned to Central City, he probably wouldn't have such easy and leisurely time for a long time.

Just as he hung up the phone and was about to leave, the phone rang again. So he picked it up, and after asking a question, a hearty voice sounded on the other end.

"Junior? I heard you're back?"

Chen Chuan laughed, " Wei? Yes, I just got back yesterday."

Wei Chang'an said, "Junior, you didn't say anything in advance about coming back. Senior Wei has to treat you to a meal. Are you being so distant with Senior Wei?"

Chen Chuan said with a smile, "How could I? I was just thinking of finding Wei, and the people from the old team too. I was thinking of getting you all together."

Wei Chang'an said, "That's easy. After you went to Central City, some of us still meet often, and sometimes we do Commissions together. Leave it to your Senior Wei, and I'll tell you when everyone's gathered."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Senior Wei."

After chatting with Wei Chang'an for a few more words, he hung up the phone, went to his room, took the tranquilizing drugs he needed to take, and practiced the Breathing Technique for a while, immediately feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

Then he took out the Records of Various Anomalies from his suitcase, sat on the bed, and slowly flipped through it.

After he restrained his aura, he no longer had that soul-stirring feeling, but his spirit was even more outstanding, and his thoughts seemed to have become more agile than before.

Because there was no Boundary Token for comparison, he could only read the vertical version of the book in his hand now, but after reading for a while, he gradually got used to it, and it seemed that reading it this way seemed to have more meaning.

Most of it talks about how to fight against anomalies. Many people's encounters can be described as bizarre and unparalleled. Reading it is eerie and terrifying, and even on a hot day, it can make people feel cold inside.

But some people's performances are very interesting.

For example, there is a strange person named Liu Cai. He especially loved to read this person's chapters. This person is particularly sleepy, and even Martial Arts exercises are carried out in his sleep. Sometimes his hands and feet will move spontaneously, and he will even wander out of the house at night. Therefore, most of the anomalies seen by this person are in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

Once, in a hazy state, he suddenly heard rustling sounds from his home, as if someone was stealing, but he was sleeping and too lazy to pay attention.

However, someone shouted in his ear that his house was on fire, and there was a red glow behind him, and he seemed to smell a burning smell. He yelled, "The one who's cooked is your grandfather, what's it to you?" Then he continued to sleep without worry.

When he woke up, the fire had not started, but all the things in his house had been moved away. He laughed and didn't care at all.

Another time, just after lying down, he felt someone stroking his body with cool hands, as if someone was whispering tenderly in his ear, but his wife had died early and he had not remarried, and the servants and slaves had long been dismissed. Where did the person come from?

However, when he woke up, he found the door wide open, and there were traces of a large snake moving on the ground. He smiled and bowed to the outside, "Thank you, sir, for not eating me."

Another time, while he was fast asleep, he suddenly felt like he was floating above the clouds, and he saw fine wine, delicacies, and beauties in front of him, and he only needed to reach out to grab them. However, he was too lazy to reach out, and when he woke up, he saw that he had somehow crawled to the edge of a cliff on the mountain, and if he had reached out at that time, he would have fallen off.

This Liu Cai is a truly open-minded and purely optimistic person. The Imperial Family invited him to co-write this book after hearing of his reputation.

Participating in the writing of a book is not a good job, because the people who write the book often see various anomalies in their minds when they recall things, and some people see what others have seen when they read other people's records.

These anomalies seem to entangle and attract each other, causing the book writers to often lose their minds or die suddenly halfway through. And Liu Cai is one of the few people who are recorded in the Records of Various Anomalies and can still live well.

Looking at what he has done, he has no worries in his heart and does not care about any phenomena. That's how he avoided these external disturbances one by one.

Chen Chuan thought about himself. Although he has restrained his thoughts, the situation of externalizing anomalies may be reduced as a result, but as long as he wants to make progress, there will definitely be more.

And he found that this thing only comes out when his emotions change greatly, so it can be controlled and avoided, but it can't be too deliberate, because the more you pay attention, the more likely it is to be stimulated.

Another thing is that you must maintain absolute calm when fighting with people, so that you will not be disturbed when facing a strong enemy.

While he was flipping through the book, the sky gradually darkened, and Nian Fuli also returned from the Patrol Bureau. Yu Wan noticed that his mood was a little off, waved Nian Mo and Nian Lu to go out and play, came up and asked with concern, "Old Nian, what's wrong?"

Nian Fuli took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said, "The new Instructor Che is arguing with Director Guan again."

"That has nothing to do with you, Old Nian, right?" Yu Wan asked with concern.

Nian Fuli said, "Since I'm in the bureau, how can I avoid it? This Instructor Che has come to me twice, and even Wei Laohu and those Captains have been privately talked to, openly and secretly wanting people to support him."

Yu Wan asked in surprise, "This Instructor Che has only been here for a few months, will anyone listen to him?"

Nian Fuli took another puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and said, "This Instructor Che has means. He first wants to examine police officers, and if they fail once, he will deduct their salary. If they fail twice, he will give them a bureau punishment. If they fail three times, they will be dismissed, but whether they pass or not is up to him, and he has the final say? Now many police officers can't stand it and have leaned over."

Yu Wan was a little puzzled, "Does he have the power to dismiss police officers?" The Patrol Bureau is an Anomaly united group, and if the top deputy director and various Captains don't agree, this can't be done.

Nian Fuli said, "He doesn't have the ability to dismiss people now, but he can send people to the surrounding counties and towns, and Deputy Director Shang is very cooperative with him on this matter."

Chen Chuan walked out of the room at this time, and after hearing this, he knew that this trick was very powerful.

The surrounding counties and towns only have some simple public security members, and those people are still hoping to be transferred to the Patrol Bureau of Yangzhi City. If they go there, the salary and status will be much lower. If they are sent there, the average police officer will really not be able to accept this kind of treatment gap.

Nian Fuli continued, "This Instructor Che also brought a team of people when he took office. He has now placed these people below to be squad instructors, saying that he wants to improve the combat capabilities of police officers. Although this is within his authority, everyone can see that he wants to do his own thing."

Yu Wan was a little worried, she said, "Then doesn't Director Guan care?"

"Director Guan," Nian Fuli shook his head, "Director Guan actually has the skills and is very considerate of his subordinates, but he is too upright and often can't make up his mind at critical moments. If the old company commander was here, it wouldn't be like this, he would have pushed this matter back. Even if his surname is Che and he can fight again, he can't make any waves."

His old company commander, although he was ruthless in his work, valued the interests of the Patrol Bureau very much and would never allow others to interfere in his own territory.

Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Director Guan probably doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff. After all, the important people in the bureau still need this instructor to protect them, but Instructor Wen was transferred away and this one was sent here. The higher-ups may want this one to do something."

"Little Chuan sees through it." Nian Fuli slapped his thigh, "They want to deal with the villages outside the city.

Do they have Resistance Organization members who have stayed there? There definitely are, but this has been going on for more than a year or two. Those villagers have no protection, and what can they do if they don't build villages to protect themselves from bandits and armed groups? If decent people can live in peace and stability, who would go to fight and kill?

Instead of suppressing those bandits and armed groups, they turn around to deal with those villagers. This is quite immoral."

At this time, he took another heavy puff, "The bureau has an operation the day after tomorrow to eliminate a village outside the city that is suspected of hiding Resistance Organization members. They originally planned to have me lead the team."

"Then what happened later?" Yu Wan asked anxiously.

Nian Fuli seemed a little confused about this, and frowned, "Later, I don't know what happened, the one surnamed Che found me in the afternoon, and his attitude was a little more polite than usual, saying that this matter has been arranged for someone else and told me not to go. Hey, it's best not to go. I don't want to get involved in this kind of conscience-stricken thing."

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door outside, and someone said loudly, "Nian Tou, someone from the bureau is here."

Nian Fuli cursed, "Who is it, coming at this time..." He went out, said a few words outside, and then came back, with a strange expression on his face, looking at Chen Chuan: "The one surnamed Che is here, saying... he wants to see Little Chuan."
