Atlas of Heaven and Man

Having decided on the general direction for dealing with Zhao Qian, the next step was to discuss the details and specific plans.

Gao Ming took out his notebook and a stack of documents. "I mentioned to you last time, cousin, that Zhao Qian used to participate in a security escort mission every two months on average.

His last mission was last year. At that time, he was investigated due to the downfall of Molan Company and the Zhao family, which led to him not participating in company business for a long time. It seems that he has only recently emerged from these negative influences.

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "So, can it be assumed that if he still cannot participate in company affairs after this incident, then Lianwei Heavy Haul is preparing to abandon him?"

Gao Ming pushed up his glasses and said, "Yes."

Chen Chuan pondered. If that were the case, it would be the most ideal situation, but they couldn't pin their hopes on it. He looked up and asked, "Gao Ming, how long do you estimate it will be before he personally participates in the next mission?"

Gao Ming replied, "Lianwei Heavy Haul conducts a business evaluation and summary every three months. It is now April. Last quarter, Zhao Qian did not participate due to the investigation. If it is delayed until after June, then half a year will have passed. If he wants to eliminate the negative impact and prove himself to the company, then there will definitely be action before June."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "So, you said before that perhaps it will be this month, or perhaps next month, he will take action."

"So, we better be prepared for everything within half a month."

Chen Chuan pondered slightly and said, "Half a month is enough."

Gao Ming picked up the documents on the desk, took out a few sheets from them, and pushed them in front of Chen Chuan. "This is the public information of Lianwei Heavy Haul's past transport teams.

In addition to Zhao Qian, the team also has a security officer responsible for specific execution. The name is unclear, but the code name is 'Peregrine Falcon'. He should be a Third Threshold combatant."

Chen Chuan picked up the top one, which had a blurred photo in the upper left corner. Because he was wearing a protective helmet, there were almost no recognizable features. There was also no specific data, only a brief introduction and the success rate of past missions.

"However, according to the analysis materials of other companies, Zhao Qian should also have an important figure by his side, suspected to be a Third Threshold combatant as well. This person cannot be found in Lianwei Heavy Haul's records and seems to be only responsible to Zhao Qian personally."

Gao Ming pushed another sheet over. "These are some analysis reports from Lianwei Heavy Haul's competitor, Antan Company, and other companies. They should be reliable."

Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. It was an analysis of a certain person around Zhao Qian, and it could basically be determined that there was such a person.

Sure enough, directly attacking the armed team was not a good idea. Even if the power of the company team was not considered, just three Third Threshold experts would make a surprise attack basically hopeless.

Using a Weird Tale curse was the right choice.

But even if the ritual contract was changed, this Weird Tale could only proceed to the next step after the target actively attacked him. Furthermore, it was best if the target's attack contained a certain amount of hostility. In other words, Zhao Qian had to be made to attack him once, but how to do that was a problem.

It seemed that what to do specifically needed to be discussed with Wu Bei.

Because it was already past midnight, Gao Ming didn't have the physique of a combatant, so he didn't stay here long. After saying goodbye, he directly contacted Wu Bei using the Boundary Token. As a Resonance User, this was precisely his most active time.

After connecting, he asked, "Brother Wu, is it safe for us to talk now?"

Wu Bei's confident voice came out, "Brother Chen, don't worry. With the Resonance Nest, I have enough ability to interfere with information transmission. Even if there is eavesdropping, I can detect it in advance."

Chen Chuan said, "That's good. Do you still remember how You Xing targeted me last time?"

"Of course, I remember. His technology was really good."

Chen Chuan said, "If I need a similar method to target someone, and the target is likely to be a middle-level executive in a company, can you do it?"

Wu Bei's breathing was obviously heavier when he heard him say this. He was both nervous and excited. He thought for a while and said, "Technically, I have no problem, but it depends on the specific location of implementation. If the target is inside the company, protected by a bio-field, then it will be difficult to achieve."

"In other words, it is feasible outside the company?"

Wu Bei said, "Yes, if the target is a middle-level executive in the company, there should be Resonance Users providing technical support at any time, but it is impossible to carry a Resonance Nest when traveling, so I have a great chance of success."

Chen Chuan's thoughts turned. This was not a problem, because once the plan was executed, the Handling Bureau would definitely forcibly summon Zhao Qian. That would be the opportunity.

He said, "The target will leave the company at that time."

Wu Bei said, "If that's the case, then there's only one problem left. Brother Chen, I know that You Xing's plan was to use the bio-field and abnormal rules. The initial technical preparations were to induce the target to launch a counterattack, in order to pave the way for the follow-up.

But what mimetic image should I use to force the target to retaliate or attack proactively? I can't use Brother Chen's image, right? That would be exposing you. It doesn't seem right to just choose one at random. Does the target have anyone or anything they deeply fear or are afraid of?"

Chen Chuan thought carefully and said, "I have thought of one, but it will take some time. Brother Wu, I will contact you later."

Shenwei District, underground fighting arena.

Lu Fang was instructing the young men who were practicing boxing in the arena. Unlike the two senior brothers, he did not scold or beat those young men. Whenever there was a mistake, he would patiently and thoroughly guide them.

The short-haired youth leaned against the wall and watched. After a long time, he heard the bell ring, signaling the end of the lesson. The young men cheered and ran away, and Lu Fang walked back.

The short-haired youth threw him a bottle of water and said, "Junior Brother Lu, you don't have to be so polite to them. In a place like Central City, your good temper will only make people feel like you are easy to bully. Have you seen, those little things are not afraid of you at all."

Lu Fang unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and said, "Senior Brother, I don't need them to be afraid. I just need them to learn the skills."

The short-haired youth said, "Learn? You are teaching them the method of teaching Wuyi Academy students. They don't need this. They are learning this to be able to go out and fight with others, to earn a living. What they need is to be able to go out with a weapon and fight bravely, and compete for survival resources like adults."

Lu Fang shook his head, but he didn't say that what the senior brother was doing was wrong. Since Chen Chuan's incident, he has now learned a lot. He was not in the other party's position, nor had he experienced what the other party had experienced, so he was not qualified to preach to others.

Moreover, when he was most difficult, it was these two senior brothers who chose to accept and help him.

The short-haired youth saw that he didn't say anything, so he didn't say any more. At this time, he asked again, "Junior Brother Lu, that junior brother you mentioned, the one you said you were going to meet that day, did he say he would help you solve the problem?"

Lu Fang said, "Junior Brother said he would help me."

"Help you? It's been so many days, and there's no movement?"

The short-haired youth shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm saying this, but once you enter the Main Academy, no matter what you were like before, you are not one of us now.

Who are the people around him? They are all the original recommended students. Once you get there, he will have already mixed with those people.

I have seen many such people. Heh, when they get to Central City and make a name for themselves, they can't wait to completely cut ties with the people they used to know. To be honest, I'm quite surprised that you were able to see him."

Lu Fang said, "I don't know about others, but Junior Brother Chen is not that kind of person."

"What kind of person is he? Actually, I'm quite curious about him. How did he get into the Wuyi Main Academy? It's really rare that he wasn't a recommended student."

Lu Fang did not answer directly, but walked to the side, took a newspaper from his bag and brought it back. "Senior Brother Yu can take a look at this newspaper that I collected."

"What is it?"

Senior Brother Yu curiously took it and was dumbfounded after reading it for a while, "This, this... are you kidding me?" Because what was written on this newspaper was a detailed report of Chen Chuan single-handedly killing thirty-seven Mutual Aid Society members.

"No, this is Junior Brother Chen's record back then." Lu Fang's tone was very calm, "It doesn't even include the personal security teams of those Mutual Aid Society members."

"No." Senior Brother Yu said suspiciously, "Has the Mutual Aid Society become so useless? Is this Junior Brother Chen a second-year student? This newspaper can't be fake, right?"

Lu Fang said calmly, "If Senior Brother returns to Yangzhi, then you will know if what I said is true or not."

"I'm not going back."

Senior Brother Yu shook his head, "I finally gained a foothold in Central City, why go back?

What's so good about Yangzhi? It's closed off and remote, just a corner of the world. Central City is the whole world. Here, you can find all the things you can't find outside.

When we get our identities, we can openly open our own fighting gyms, or enter large companies as security captains and consultants. When we accumulate some capital, we will go all out to break through the Third Threshold. If we have the opportunity to enter the Third Threshold, our lives can be completely changed."

Lu Fang didn't think that his words were completely fantasy. After all, he had sparred with these two senior brothers, and their fighting abilities were quite remarkable. Moreover, these two were not even twenty-five years old. What they lacked were various fighting cultivation resources. If they worked hard, there was still some hope.

At this time, Senior Brother Yu was looking at the newspaper again, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt it was incredible. Moreover, the key was not that Chen Chuan killed so many Mutual Aid Society members, but that he was fine afterwards. There must be someone supporting him behind the scenes, and not just anyone.

He looked at Lu Fang, "Junior Brother, now I'm starting to believe what you said."
