Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 235 Changing way of thinking
Ten minutes later.

Watching the security and cleaning staff being escorted onto the spacecraft.

Chen Ming shook his head sadly and said, "Zuo Jing, it's really disgusting."

"It's not the first time you know."

Bai Quan suddenly walked up to Chen Ming with a gloomy expression and said this.

Chen Ming turned around and asked, "How's it going?"

"The results are as you see, Zuo Jia."

"I'm already preparing to deploy new security measures. All security on your side will be left to our own people."

"However, even in this way, the source of shipment cannot be completely guaranteed."

"We have to set up a transfer station near your dome. Everything has to go through the transfer station before it can come to you."

The people at the lower level received the punishment they deserved, and they had nothing to do with the upper level.

"Then how are you going to investigate this time? You won't end up with the same investigation as last time, with a few insignificant people missing, and then the person at the top will be fine, right?"

If Bai Quan said this, then in Chen Ming's estimation, there is a high probability that this matter will end up like last time.

After all, the culprit was Zuo Jing, and putting Zuo Jing in was just the work mistakes of some people at the lower level.

"And the left diameter is only a superficial problem. In fact, this matter is not just a left diameter problem."

Bai Quan could clearly feel the chill in Chen Ming's words.

Chen Ming's tone was a little harsh because of what happened just now, but after all, this was already the fourth time.

With Chen Ming as a guarantee, it is not too difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold after taking the top position.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming sighed again.

"If you go back and follow the cleaning path and find clues about Zuojia, tell me and I will deal with them myself."

Bai Quan glanced at Chen Ming's still bulging pockets, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay, I will help you arrange it later."

As for how to exert the influence of this kind of thing on the opponent's top management, Baiquan still doesn't know what to do even now.

"Revenge against Zuo Jing is of little significance, because in normal times, once we find traces of Zuo Jing, we will basically clean it up as soon as possible."

Seeing Chen Ming's resolute attitude, Bai Quan said nothing, "Okay, I will tell you when I have clues."

Chen Ming said slightly unhappily: "It means that Zuo Jing has either been solved, or it is still useful, and it didn't make me angry, right?"

"If they are not cleaned up, they are going to use these left paths for fishing, or to investigate the relationship network behind them. These left paths are not easy to kill. At least you have to wait until the entire line is cleared before killing them."

But the subsequent struggle with people cannot be completed only by the convenience brought by Chen Ming's participation.

Some people are familiar with the rules, while others are very unfamiliar with them.

The methods of those who faced him were far more skillful than his, and they would not leave any traces of themselves.

No one can help but feel angry.

Chen Ming nodded slightly and turned the topic back to what Bai Quan had just said: "The people who let Zuo Jing cause trouble won't be the same as those who happened a few times before, right?"

"Are you too busy to come over?"

He also tried some counterattacks, but they were all blocked by the opponent.

Chen Ming immediately took out a palm-sized iron-red gamma core from his coat pocket: "They can help me deal with these things."

This is the limit of being within the rules.

Although it is said that Chen Ming has arrived at the branch of the Fourteenth Army, and there are actually signs that Chen Ming wants to join the Fourteenth Army.

But Bai Quan just sighed now.

"Yes, it's not easy for us to kill the cleaner you just caught. We have to use him to get out all the left paths behind him."

Bai Quan did not give Chen Ming a definite answer at this time: "It's not easy to be sure about this, it's a high probability."

"At least now I see this."

"It seems that you are really disgusted by Zuojia, but you can do this once now. There are still many people who are suffering from Zuojia's influence that you can't see."

All counterattacks can be said to be completely meaningless.

Bai Quan couldn't find the opponent's weakness, but the opponent kept targeting his weaknesses and trying to put black spots on his career.

This gave him a constant feeling of walking on a tightrope.

Chen Ming waved his hand and said: "Security is no longer necessary. The security company should just withdraw. I will be responsible for the security of the dome myself."

"I am not sure."

In Chen Ming's unpredicted expression, Bai Quan explained: "Because it is really not that easy for left-wing elements to sneak into the army under normal circumstances. Someone is definitely loosening the restrictions on left-wing elements on purpose."

However, Chen Ming did not continue to listen. Instead, he gestured to Bai Quan and said, "Let's not talk about the internal problems of the Fourteenth Army. I have one request now."

"Although it will be a little troublesome, it is better than having problems here every day."

Those who are familiar with the rules can often manipulate those who do not understand the rules without breaking the rules.

After Bai Quan agreed, Chen Ming put away his core and continued to ask him: "What's next for Zuo Jing? You can't just accept this loss, right? Do they have a stronghold or something?"

It's already frustrating enough for him to have a prosthesis here. If he were here in person, Chen Ming wouldn't even know if he could bear it.

Fortunately, his goal is not to stay in the empire for a long time. He must build a place outside the empire that makes him feel comfortable.

Moreover, Chen Ming had already seen how bad Zuo Jing was, so he would definitely not be able to mention to Bai Quan that he would use the same method to retaliate.

In addition, his political experience and knowledge are not even as good as those of Bai Quan who transferred from the military, let alone give any advice.

So now he can only say to Bai Quan: "I don't understand this kind of thing and can't help you, but if you need to use force, you can just come to me. I can guarantee not to leave any traces."

"If you don't want to take action against the one on top, then you can find his trusted lieutenant or something, right?"

"They can target me on the surface but actually target you, and you can also target their people on the surface but actually target the one on top of them."

Bai Quan was silent for a while and said, "Thank you, but it's better to say goodbye."

Before having the force to confront the entire Fourteenth Legion and the entire empire, using force is definitely the most unwise behavior.

The Fourteenth Legion has been using various ways and means to disgust him, but no one has ever dared to use violence directly against him or Chen Ming.

In the war zone where he dared to use violence against him last time, two lieutenant generals became prisoners, hundreds of people lost their lives, and thousands more were imprisoned.

There was a certain reason for this, but Chen Ming was not included in the rules at the time. It was because people in the war zone actively violated the rules that led to this result.

From here you can see the seriousness of violating the rules.

Bai Quan didn't want Chen Ming to violate the rules and end up with the same fate as those in the war zone.

Although he knew very well that Chen Ming had such potential, and the empire was already preparing to impose some restrictions.

But at least for now, Chen Ming can't do this.

So Bai Quan could only dissuade Chen Ming and said: "Try not to do things outside the rules. I still try my best to do what I should do within the rules."

"At least the pilot on the spacecraft has woken up. Although his consciousness is very vague and he has symptoms of amnesia, the clues that are most likely to affect the people above him still have to be found from him."

"The basis of the Left Path operation you caught is that the cargo ship hit the dome, and the basis of the spacecraft hitting the dome is that the pilot took medicine. If the driver can get the medicine, it must have something to do with the Legion."

"Things happen one after another. Let's see if there is a chance."

"Now I plan to find the drug dealer who gave the driver DP-2 first, and follow this clue to find the stimulant manufacturer."

“The production of this kind of stimulant requires someone’s approval, so there might be an opportunity.”

Not long after, Bai Quan left Chen Ming's dome in a spaceship, filled with grievances and all the clues.

While sitting on the seat in the spaceship, Bai Quan was still thinking about ways to break this one-sided beating situation.

He was very uncomfortable now, because he couldn't find a way to fight back.

He knew that there were always people who were disgusting with him, but he couldn't go back.

Just because the opponent is in the headquarters, although there are conflicts between factions within the headquarters, at least the rules are still strict.

As for the branch, there are not only external problems, but also internal loopholes.

He felt that he still needed time to repair the entire branch of the Fourteenth Army before he could consider counterattacking.

Bai Quan gradually recovered from his meditation and immediately gave orders to his men.

His men quickly arrested the drug dealer in the army who sold the drugs to the driver, and obtained the address of the drug laboratory that supplied the drugs.

This drug laboratory is located in a colony of a galaxy in a star sector behind the nearby Gallo Star Field.

A colony that specializes in the production of medical devices and medical drugs.

In addition to various production equipment, there are also many pharmaceutical laboratories.

In order to get the convenience of the industrial cluster, the military's drug laboratory was also built here, and an area near the core of an industrial park in the colony was chosen as a site.

Bai Quan looked at the information his men had obtained, and suddenly felt a little familiar.

He immediately approved a search warrant for military facilities, and then asked the pilot of the spacecraft to change the direction of the spacecraft.

After several hours of traveling in the hyperspace lanes.

Baiquan arrived at this medical-specialized colony.

According to the investigated address, dozens of military personnel searched for his target in the science and technology park.

And as Bai Quan searched more and more in the park, his face became less and less good.

When Bai Quan walked to the entrance of the laboratory, the expression on his face was even slightly distorted by anger.

Because this laboratory was a medical laboratory that had been sealed off by him before.

Bai Quan had already remembered it when he just landed here. Some time ago, he led the 14th Legion to clear out the original star area military.

This place was sealed by him because of smuggling. He also personally signed an arrest warrant for these drug laboratories and related persons in charge who were suspected of smuggling military drugs.

The boss behind the lab had himself removed at the time, but others were not so lucky.

So why is the lab now up and running again? Why does this laboratory still have the courage to reopen openly?

Bai Quan walked into the laboratory without saying a word.

The security guards at the door saw the generals on Bai Quan's chest and the group of people wearing the uniforms of the Fourteenth Army Corps coming in and did not dare to stop them at all, so they could only quickly notify the person in charge.

And just after he informed the person in charge, everyone in the entire laboratory was controlled by Bai Quan.

Bai Quan didn't say anything, just waited. It wasn't until a few minutes later that the person in charge of the laboratory arrived in a hurry, nodded and bowed to Bai Quan, who was standing in the center of the laboratory hall, and said, "Is this Lieutenant General Bai Quan Bai? You are here to welcome me, this is..."

Bai Quan glanced at the person in charge with cold eyes, and said with a frightened expression: "A few months ago, I approved and banned a number of laboratories that illegally sold drugs, and this laboratory is on the list."

"what?"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the person in charge. He subconsciously took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped it shakily. He explained in a weak tone: "I don't know about this. I saw research in the laboratory when I came here." License and production license.”

"where?"

"Shall I take you to see it?"

"Walk."

The person in charge quickly took Bai Quan to an office in the laboratory, took out two pieces of paper of some quality from a locked counter here, and handed them to Bai Quan.

"Take a look at the drug research license and drug production license."

Bai Quan reached out and took it.

After glancing at the permit, the knuckles of his hands that were holding the permit turned a little white from being too hard. Only in this way could he restrain himself from slamming his fist on the counter in front of him.
There seems to be no problem with these two permits, and the seal stamped on them is still approved by the 14th Army Corps.

Can Baiquan even find the corresponding license file in the database of the Fourteenth Legion by querying the order on the license?

Bai Quan slowly turned his head and said to his subordinates who were following him: "Check who has passed the application."

"Yes."

The subordinate quickly handed over a person's information and the record of approval of the production license to Bai Quan.

The person who passed the approval for this laboratory was a person who had just been transferred some time ago.

"What about others?"

"Missing, on the way to transfer."

The subordinate lowered his head and reported to Bai Quan, not daring to raise his head to look at Bai Quan's face.

Because now if we want to talk about who is the biggest source of problems when this drug laboratory reopens, it can even be said to be Baiquan himself.

This was a frame-up, and the other side even wanted to blame Zuo Jing's troubles on him.

The expression on Bai Quan's face suddenly returned to calm.

Over and over again, do they really think that people have no anger?
Earlier, Lou Wei suspected Chen Ming of cheating and insisted on forcible verification.

This matter is not over yet, another incident will come out immediately.

He didn't enter the political field through exams and step by step to reach his current position. He fought all the way from the most dangerous and bloody battlefield to become a major general before being arranged by his old boss to embark on this path.

It seems like someone forgot this.

At this moment, all the "tactful ways and attitudes" that Bai Quan had used to sit in his current position during this period were left behind.

Someone really kicked the nose in the face, right?

Bai Quan calmly placed the warrant directly on the table and issued the order for arrest.

Although this laboratory has been approved, there is already evidence of illegal drug sales, so sealing the laboratory again is not a big deal.

Even if someone makes a fuss about the fact that a laboratory was banned twice in a row, it doesn't matter to Bai Quan that he is privately embezzling or accepting bribes.

Bai Quan's mind was now filled with what Chen Ming had said before. He left the laboratory in silence, boarded the spaceship, and stayed alone in the room.

He began to issue orders to his cronies in some important positions.

But not before he actually does something.

The terminal he usually used privately suddenly buzzed.

Bai Quan picked up the terminal. When he saw the communication code, the expression on his face softened instantly, and then he connected the video call from the headquarters.

The lieutenant general with a white beard who Bai Quan had talked to about Chen Ming appeared on the terminal, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"What do you want to do? What is your identity now? Can you do such an irresponsible thing?"

"I……"

"Think carefully and do what you have to do."

Bai Quan was silent and speechless, and the aggrieved look on his face became more and more serious.

The old boss stared at Bai Quan for a long time, with some unbearability in his eyes, and finally chose to say a few more words.

"Think more about what other people would do in your position than what you would do yourself."

"You are not a politician, you are a soldier."

"But you know so many people, there's always someone who knows what to do."

"But don't ask, you have to think about it. Only after you figure it out yourself will you know what to do."

After the old boss finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Quan one last time and hung up the communication.

Bai Quan was left holding his head in the room.

"How can I figure it out? How can I think better than them?"

Although the Fourteenth Army Corps underwent a reorganization more than twenty years ago.

But now, who among the same generation as his old boss is not an old guy who has been in the political field for decades.

He is just a person who came from the army halfway, and his methods are too immature compared to theirs.
He knew this in his heart.

After his old boss called, Bai Quan gradually calmed down.

He actually knew very well that driving a battleship directly to the door was definitely the stupidest thing to do.

This can only make him feel happy, not solve the problem, and may even disappoint many people.

Moreover, there is one most critical question. Even if he sails out, who can he find?
There was more than one faction targeting him within the Fourteenth Legion.

Everyone can see how rapidly he is developing now, and how strong the faction he inherited will be with Chen Ming's support.

Therefore, anyone can target him.

And Chen Ming has been targeted four times since he came here.

Among these four attacks, the first volcanic attack can basically be attributed to Hu Yi.

The second machine family malfunction can be determined to be a problem caused within the Fourteenth Legion, and he has already targeted the target.

The third visit came at the invitation of the government, but was it really the government that did this? He wasn't sure yet.

The fourth time, it seemed to be a left-handed approach, but there was definitely someone within the legion tacitly approving it behind the scenes.

In fact, except for the first time when Hu Yi, a psychic, participated in these things, no matter what the other things were, it would be impossible to do it without the assistance or acquiescence of insiders.

This isn't even just a problem for the other factions of the Fourteenth Legion.

There are also problems on his own side.

Among the people who stabilized in Baiquan some time ago, there are still many people who are full of dissatisfaction.

No wonder when he went back and was promoted to lieutenant general, his old boss's expression was still the same as when he saw him before he was immature.

This time when he called me, he also looked like he hated iron.

He was very disappointed with Bai Quan's actions.

Bai Quan suddenly became a little decadent again.

Although he looks glamorous now, as the youngest lieutenant general in the empire in the past century, he has attracted the attention of countless people.

But only he knows the pressure in private.

Bai Quan suddenly took out a small bottle of medicine to relieve mental stress from his pocket, poured two pills into his mouth, and swallowed them without drinking water.

No matter what, he has to think. Only thinking can solve the problem.

Many figures flashed through Bai Quan's mind, but he finally focused on Chen Ming, who was closest to him.

If it was Chen Ming, what should he do?
He didn't think about what Chen Ming would think, but what Chen Ming would do.

Because the problems Chen Ming encountered were to some extent different from what he didn't want to do, and were even more terrifying.

He is still within the rules, but what Chen Ming once faced was the afterglow of not being able to talk to humans about human rules.

However, Bai Quan cannot directly think about his own affairs on behalf of Chen Ming.

So he chose to step into Chen Ming's perspective first and see how Chen Ming himself did things.

When Chen Ming was forced to run to Yu Hui's side, he was almost the same as he is now. He could barely resist, but had no ability to fight back.

But Chen Ming's choice was not to desperately resist and fight back against Yu Hui, but to gain as much benefit as possible from what Yu Hui did to him while ensuring his own safety to a limited extent.

Even later, Yu Hui wanted to use a device like the Ling Nerve Extraction Device to seize Chen Ming's Ling Nerve.

Chen Ming knew what Yu Hui was going to do, but he also had no ability to resist, so his last choice was to give it a try, seize chestnuts from the fire, and seize Yu Hui's spiritual nerve.

Forcing Yu Hui to continue to delay the time to seize the spiritual nerve.

Then he used his growth on Yuhui's territory to fight back against Yuhui, and cooperated with him to complete his escape.

All the troubles and crises against Chen Ming were turned into benefits by Chen Ming.

This is how Chen Ming does things.

So if Chen Ming's way of doing things is put here, what should he do? How will it develop?

It would definitely not work to directly put Chen Ming in his current position. Chen Ming did not grow up in a military environment, and he had almost no understanding of the political environment of the empire.

Therefore, he must use Chen Ming's way of doing things and combine it with his own ideas to think about how to do this.

Bai Quan lowered his head and pondered.

Gradually, he seemed to suddenly have a goal, and his whole mind seemed to become clearer.

Chen Ming has the ability to convert the persecution from Yuhui into his own interests. As an imperial lieutenant general, why doesn't he, Bai Quan, have the ability to convert the persecution of most people at his level into his own interests?

He shouldn't think about solving this problem directly and completely now and then thinking about fighting back.

He shouldn't have such thoughts.

He should extend the problem.

He should use some methods to transform these events that only bring negative effects into events from which he can gain benefits.
