Atlas of Heaven and Man

Wei Hang's voice rang out, and the crowd seemed to awaken from their daze, turning to look at him.

Wei Hang slowly raised his cane and pointed it at Chen Chuan, "This person..." He emphatically pointed two fingers, looking to the left and right, "This person, while possessing an Unlimited Self-Defense Certificate, may be exempt from the crime of murder.

But are you truly comfortable allowing such a person to continue existing in Yangzhi, to continue studying at the Wuyi Academy?"

He spoke in a stern and grave tone: "Look at what he has done. Today, he can nonchalantly slaughter thirty-seven classmates, and tomorrow, he could potentially slaughter even more people, requiring only a pretext of self-defense."

Saying this, he looked at Chen Chuan with sharp eyes, "Furthermore, I personally have serious doubts about his mental state.

How can he commit such heinous crimes while still being able to spout such nonsense here? Does he not feel any remorse or guilt?!"

He repeatedly struck the ground with his cane, shouting, "Those are thirty-seven innocent lives! Thirty-seven vibrant lives!"

"I propose that everyone present sign a joint request demanding that the Wuyi Academy's board of directors strip this person of his status as a Wuyi Academy student! And I implore the Administrative Office to issue an order forbidding him from continuing to reside within the city limits, to prevent this kind of person from further threatening the safety of Wuyi students, to prevent this person from exercising his power so recklessly!"

Indeed, the situation had reached its worst point. They couldn't use legal procedures to openly and justly deal with Chen Chuan, but the power they could wield was far more than just that.

For example, they could now exploit everyone's fear of him, using his unstable mental state as a pretext, to administratively expel him from the Yangzhi urban area, and even expel him from the academy!

This matter actually had a high probability of success. Now that Chen Chuan was alive, what remained involved only matters related to him personally. The Patrol, the Secret Sect, and the Handling Bureau had no reason to intervene.

Even if there was slight opposition or obstruction, it would only be from organizations or individuals within those three departments who held a friendly attitude towards Chen Chuan, and not a united front from the three powerful departments.

As for whether doing such a thing would anger Chen Chuan, triggering a violent backlash from him, leading him to do something irrational, or even directly launching a violent retaliation against them, he wasn't worried about that.

Deep down, he actually hoped Chen Chuan would do so. Moreover, it wasn't as if they had no way to deal with him. Wasn't He Xiaohang initially more difficult to handle than Chen Chuan?

And the methods they had used to deal with He Xiaohang in the past could now be used to deal with Chen Chuan.

But it wasn't enough for him to just say so. Many people present were still afraid of the Unlimited Self-Defense Certificate, and thus worried about their personal safety, so they still needed a powerful force to provide assurance.

He looked at the young man beside him, who stood up at this moment. He first adjusted his black imported formal attire, allowing people to clearly see the blooming ink orchid on his cuff.

"Everyone, I strongly agree with what Elder Wei just said. Let me introduce myself, I come from the Central City Molan Corporation headquarters, and I am Zhan Yi, assistant and fully authorized representative of Mr. Luo, the director of the External Action Department."

His identity silenced the entire audience, and everyone couldn't help but look at him.

Zhan Yi was already very accustomed to this kind of reaction. At this moment, he looked at Chen Chuan and said regretfully, "I deeply regret that such a student with an extremely unstable mental state cannot be convicted because he holds an Unlimited Self-Defense Certificate.

But this does not mean that our hearts can tolerate his actions, nor can we allow such tragedies to continue to happen, so I am here to make a commitment on behalf of Molan Corporation!"

Saying this, he held up one finger, "As long as everyone agrees, then from today onwards, Molan Corporation's security team will be responsible for the safety of everyone present, ensuring that you are no longer affected by potential threats."

The members of these powerful families, social elites, and some councilors present showed various changes in their expressions upon hearing these words, while others fell into deep thought.

Zhan Yi pointed out an issue that they had to consider, which was that many of the security consultants and teams they hired were graduates of Wuyi Academy.

But looking at the Wuyi Academy students outside the trial court, they were almost all standing on Chen Chuan's side, silently supporting him. Then, could security consultants who were also Wuyi Academy students still guarantee their personal safety? Could the various companies and departments that had intricate connections with them still trust these people?

Several officials from the Handling Bureau suddenly turned their heads, looking coldly at Wei Hang and Zhan Yi. They had already realized what these people wanted to do. They wanted to exclude Wuyi from the security aspect and incorporate the people of the upper-class powerful families into Molan Corporation's security system!

But for a moment, they couldn't think of a way to counter it. Chen Chuan's actions had made these people feel uneasy, and the actions of those Wuyi Academy students outside were also a fact.

Zhan Yi said loudly: "I represent Molan Corporation in refusing to allow such a student to join, and we Molan Corporation will issue a notice letter to other mega-corporations and companies, stating that this student is not welcome to join in the future."

Guan Yuming, Bureau Chief Lei, and the teachers of Wuyi Academy on the seats all looked solemn. This was a statement from a mega-corporation, which carried extremely heavy weight.

This seemed to only block Chen Chuan's path to entering a company, and didn't seem to have much impact, but the influence of companies and mega-corporations involved all aspects of society. Countless people cooperated with them and relied on them for a living. Once this letter was issued, these people would inevitably distance themselves from and reject Chen Chuan when dealing with him in the future.

Zhan Yi smiled slightly. Yes, they couldn't directly target the owner of the Infinite Defense Certificate through laws and procedures, but they could restrict him from the external environment.

Although some giant corporations were Mo Lan's competitors, they had a unified stance on this matter because it involved the confrontation between company and national power.

Although people holding the Defense Certificate could work in national institutions, this world was ruled by the government and giant corporations together. Many things were not so easy to separate cleanly, and what he could do would be greatly restricted.

Of course, targeting this student was not the main purpose, but to tell everyone present that Mo Lan Company was their reliance and could help them at critical moments.

When everyone present was tied to Mo Lan Company's chariot, the company's deployment in Yangzhi City would be mostly completed.

Wei Hang slowly sat down at this time. With his foreshadowing just now, coupled with Mo Lan Company's statement, it should not be difficult to expel Chen Chuan from the Wuyi Academy. Once Chen Chuan had no relationship with the Wuyi Academy, many things would be less costly to do.

He had already communicated with Zhan Yi. No matter what the outcome of this matter was, Mo Lan Company could send someone to be responsible for cleaning up Chen Chuan.

He looked at Chen Chuan coldly. If he couldn't target you procedurally, then he wouldn't talk to you about procedures. He would first use social forces to gradually complete the suppression and kill you, and then put you to death.

Just as waves were being stirred in the court, an old-fashioned car slowly came to the outside of the court. After the car door opened, Butler Yi walked out.

He looked at the gate of the court, feeling emotional.

Almost a year had passed. He remembered that it was about this time last year that he sent the young lady away from Yangzhi and said that he would think of a way for the young lady to recruit this young man to work for her.

Now it was almost time.

He had been paying attention to Chen Chuan's affairs. As soon as the Old Factory incident occurred, he immediately realized the opportunity to intervene. In this matter, Chen Chuan had offended too many powerful families. Relying on Chen Chuan alone, even with the support of several forces behind him, it would be difficult to defeat those people.

He could come forward at this time and use the Meng family's name to suppress all the powerful families in Yangzhi City, protect Chen Chuan, or directly take him to the central city. This way, Chen Chuan could feel his goodwill, and it could also be accepted by the powerful families in Yangzhi City, which was a win-win situation.

After the security personnel behind him arrived, he walked up the steps to the platform above. Just as he was about to enter the court, he saw a person in a black imported dress standing in front, seemingly waiting for him. That person smiled and extended his hand to him, "Are you Mr. Yan Yi?"

Butler Yi did not extend his hand, but said slowly: "Young man, do we know each other?"

The young man retracted his hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Assistant Luo from Mo Lan Company, and I am here specifically to wait for you."

"Oh, from Mo Lan Company." Butler Yi suddenly understood, "What are you looking for an old man like me for? I'm old and don't buy cosmetics."

The young man still maintained his smile and said earnestly: "Mr. Yan, Director Luo is very concerned about the matter of Chen Chuan, and hopes that you can give him some face." He pointed, "Look, Director Luo is in that car over there."

Butler Yi looked over to where he was pointing and saw an extended armored luxury car parked there. The window slowly rolled down, and a man with gentlemanly glasses was sitting inside, nodding at him.

As the former butler of the Meng family, even if he was now retired, he still paid attention to all aspects of things and was familiar with the people in various companies. He knew that this was the Director of External Operations of Mo Lan's head office. In Mo Lan's head office, this was a person with real power.

He pondered for a moment. Although he was not afraid of such a person, was it worth confronting him for Chen Chuan?

If he had expressed his intentions before Director Luo came forward, then even if the other party had any requests at this moment, he could forcefully reject them.

But now that he was approached here in advance, this matter was a little difficult to handle.

If he were twenty years younger, he might smile and walk in directly, but now he was old and didn't have the energy to fight with people.

He said slowly: "Since Director Luo has spoken, then let's pretend that I wasn't here today."

The young man said with a smile, "Old Mr. Yan, Director Luo will thank you, and Mo Lan Company will remember your kindness."

Butler Yi said slowly: "Young man, don't say these empty words. You will only be qualified to say this when you have been in the company as long as I have."

Although the young man was still smiling, his smile was slightly unnatural.

Butler Yi turned around and went down the steps, returning to the car. He leaned back in the seat, looking at the court, and thought with some regret that Chen Chuan was actually very talented, especially now that he had martial arts skills, and he would shine brightly in the future.

If such a talent could be drawn to the young lady's side, it might help the young lady defeat those competitors in the family and take control of the company.

He sighed again, but now he could only blame himself for his bad luck. It would have been great if you had agreed to the young lady's offer earlier.

"Butler Yi? Going back?" the driver in front asked.

Butler Yi thought for a while and said with a sigh: "Wait a minute, it seems that I won't be able to do what I promised the young lady, but the young lady may need to know the final result."
