#35 - An unusual first day of school

September 1st, the opening day of the Wuyi University.

At six o'clock in the morning, Chen Chuan adjusted his appearance in front of the wardrobe mirror, wearing the student uniform of Wuyi University, which Yu Wan had already ironed neatly for him.

He reached out and picked up his student cap, putting it on straight, then straightened his clothes, turned and walked to the door, picked up a suitcase, walked outside, took one last look at the room, and slowly closed the door.

Yu Wan was waiting in the living room, instructing him: "Xiao Chuan, no one will take care of you when you go to Wuda, remember to eat more, don't study too hard, remember to go to bed early, don't tire yourself out."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the school has always been very generous with food and accommodation, and there will be holidays every ten days. I will come back to see you and Uncle."

Yu Wan came up to tidy his cuffs, patted them, took two steps back, and said with satisfaction: "My Chan'er is so handsome."

Chen Chuan said, "Auntie, I'm leaving. Please say hello to Uncle for me."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Chen Chuan pushed the door out, greeted by a refreshing air. Today he didn't ride his bike, but walked directly to Wuyi University.

He went through today's schedule in his mind. The opening ceremony was probably at nine o'clock. Before that, he had to go to the dormitory to put down his luggage. After the ceremony, senior students would lead them to familiarize themselves with the campus and understand the main directions for the future. After that, there would be free time, and tomorrow would be the official start of a new academic life.

Walking for less than an hour, he could already see the school gate.

Just as he was about to walk over, a silver-gray Tuotu sedan drove over and stopped not far in front of him. The door opened, and a tall young man came out, with clean and neat black short hair, wearing a neat navy blue imported formal suit, with a tie, and black leather shoes that were so polished that they reflected his image.

"Junior Chen Chuan, is that you?" The young man smiled, walked over and took the initiative to extend his hand to him, "Let me introduce myself, Wei Changan, a third-year student at Wuyi University."

Chen Chuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name. He reached out and shook his hand, saying, "Hello, Senior, are you Wei… Wei Captain's son?"

Wei Changan said with a smile: "Yes, I am Wei Laohu's son. There is nothing embarrassing about this nickname. Just call him Laohu."

Chen Chuan looked at him. He had met Wei Laohu, who was very outgoing, fierce, and burly. He didn't expect his son to be such a presentable person. This one seemed to have come specifically to find him, so he asked, "Senior Wei, what's the matter with looking for me?"

"Like this…" Wei Changan became a little more serious, "Junior Chen Chuan, there is currently an off-campus mission that requires your cooperation. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you won't be able to attend today's opening ceremony on time."

Chen Chuan was a little surprised and said, "Off-campus mission? Senior Wei, are you sure? I'm just a freshman who hasn't even enrolled yet…"

At this moment, the car window in the back seat was rolled down, and a somewhat familiar deep voice came from inside: "Student Chen, you go with him. This is a task assigned to you by the school. Wei Changan will explain the specific situation to you."

Chen Chuan took a look and found that the other party was also someone he knew, the lecturer Bian Feng who had admitted him during the entrance exam. He quickly greeted him: "Hello, Teacher Bian."

Bian Feng said: "Student Chen, after passing the re-examination, you are now a first-class student of the school. You have the obligation and responsibility to cooperate with the Department of Civil Affairs and other departments below."

He took out two lists and said, "Wei Changan, give this to him, and have him sign the other one."

Wei Changan ran over to take it, then walked back and handed it to Chen Chuan, saying, "This is the school's travel permit for you. With this permit, you can be exempted from school activities and obtain limited self-defense rights."

Chen Chuan took it and glanced at it. It had the seals of three school departments: the Recruitment Office, the Affairs Office, and the Execution Office, as well as the signature of Vice President Gu Botang.

Wei Changan handed over a pen and said, "Please sign the second one, Junior. Teacher Bian needs to take it back for filing."

Chen Chuan thought for a while. It seemed that this matter was a decision made by the school management, so he could only do as he was told. He just didn't know what it was all about. Was the reason for choosing him related to that re-examination?

He took the pen and signed his name on it.

Wei Changan took it, looked at it, walked back and handed it to Bian Feng. Bian Feng put it into his briefcase and got out of the car, saying, "I'll go back to school first. I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to handle it well."

Wei Changan said, "Don't worry, Teacher Bian."

Bian Feng walked towards the school gate with his briefcase, while Wei Changan stretched out his hand and said, "Junior, let me help you put your luggage in the trunk."

Chen Chuan said thank you. Wei Changan took it, walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, put the suitcase in, then walked to the front and opened the car door, gesturing with his hand and saying, "Junior, get in the car. Let's go now, the sooner we finish, the sooner you can come back."

Chen Chuan walked over, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt.

Wei Changan also sat in from the other side, fastened his seat belt, put his hand on the steering wheel, turned the car key, and after a series of skillful operations, the algae oil engine roared and drove onto the avenue.

After driving for a while, he saw that Chen Chuan hadn't said anything, and said with a smile, "What's wrong, are you a little disappointed that you can't attend the opening ceremony? As I see it, what's so good about attending the opening ceremony? A bunch of old men and women talking on stage, it's annoying to listen to. If you want to know anything, just ask your Brother Wei."

Chen Chuan said, "Senior, can I ask what this mission is?"

"Don't call me 'Senior,' just call me Brother Wei, okay..." Wei Chang'an looked ahead and said, "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to you."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said in surprise, "Is it related to this?"

Wei Chang'an said, "The person who attacked you is called Dou Qi. He is responsible for protecting an underground drug exchange. When the patrol bureau went to arrest him that day, they discovered a fugitive named Tong Qianjiang. Oh, this person is an accomplice of a group of fugitives who escaped from Qiguang Prison three months ago and have not been caught since..."

At this moment, he signaled a right turn and entered a side road. Chen Chuan looked at the direction and realized it was heading towards the east of the city.

Wei Chang'an continued, "After discovering this clue, Captain Yu... oh, that's the patrol captain of the Xigang District who led the team that day, he reported the matter and interrogated him.

Dou Qi's employer is called Lao Hei, and he controls a channel for prohibited drugs. This time, Tong Qianjiang came to buy anti-alienation drugs, which is interesting."

Chen Chuan pondered and said, "Anti-alienation drugs, I seem to have heard of them somewhere?"

Wei Chang'an glanced at the rearview mirror and said again, "Implants, do you know about them? World giants and major companies use bio-cultured bodies to replace human limbs and organs to obtain functions that surpass the human body. Of course, military and civilian products are different. Most of what is circulating outside now are civilian products. It is said that everyone in the central city uses them, but these things require long-term use or injection of anti-alienation drugs, otherwise, there will be an alienation reaction, and the consequences will be very serious.

Implants are not very common outside the central city, perhaps because implantation requires certain technical support. Even anti-alienation drugs are prohibited drugs outside the central city.

The interesting thing is, Tong Qianjiang and his group didn't have any implants when they were arrested. What do they want anti-alienation drugs for? Did they install implants after they escaped from prison, or are they buying them for someone else?

The patrol bureau investigated and found that Lao Hei's drugs were obtained from his superior, Chou Huzi, and according to his confession, Tong Qianjiang and his group had likely obtained drugs from Chou Huzi before, but later they were introduced to him. However, Lao Hei kept a trick up his sleeve. He was also afraid of being implicated, so he didn't show up himself and let his unsuspecting subordinates meet with Fang Dawei's people.

In order to find Fang Dawei and his gang, the patrol bureau needs to search for clues from Chou Huzi. This person is under the protection of a leader of the Blood Scar Gang. We are going to find this person now and ask him to hand over the person."

Chen Chuan was a little puzzled and said, "Since the matter involves gangs, why doesn't the patrol bureau go directly to arrest people? Why do they want our Wuyi students to find them?"

"Why not arrest them directly? Heh, the Blood Scar Gang is backed by the Molan Corporation. The companies openly established by the gang are under the Molan Corporation. They not only have their own lawyers but also the legal team of the Molan Corporation to support them. If we go through formal channels, we can't arrest people without surface evidence."

"As for why this matter is entrusted to us," Wei Chang'an smiled, leaned forward, took out a business card from the front storage box and handed it to him, saying, "Take a look."

Chen Chuan took it and saw that it read: "Entrusted Association Registered Member, Important Affairs Office Staff, Wei Chang'an."

Wei Chang'an said, "Wuyi Academy starts internships in the second year, and in the third year, you can join various departments of the Civil Affairs Bureau, or go solo. I am now a member of the Entrusted Association, specializing in handling communication and liaison matters with non-governmental organizations."

Chen Chuan had also heard of trustees. The trustee system is not only popular in Da Shun Republic but also abroad.

When a department or individual needs to manage or contact another individual or organization outside its own system, for the purpose of saving costs and avoiding cumbersome procedures, the affairs are entrusted to the trustee, who is responsible for communicating and handling various affairs.

These trustees have a large network of contacts and resources. There is both communication and competition between them, and some senior trustees are even given power.

Understanding Wei Chang'an's current identity, he also understood why this person could participate in it.

Wei Chang'an said, "Don't worry, Junior. The trustee company I belong to has communicated with the leader of the Blood Scar Gang before, and they have agreed to hand over the person to us. This time, we are just going through the motions."

Chen Chuan asked, "Are you taking me along just because this matter is related to me?"

Wei Chang'an sighed and said, "Brother Wei is doing you a favor. You know that this kind of external assignment is related to academic evaluation, which involves your future certification, uh, those certificates that only Wuyi can take nationwide!"

"Then I thank you, Brother Wei."

"That's right, we are all children of the Yangzhi Patrol Bureau. In such a big patrol bureau, including you and me, there are only four people who can pass the re-examination and are still in school. If I don't help you, who else would I help?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while. There is a tradition of unity within the patrol bureau, but...

His expression was a little subtle. Could it be that Wei the Tiger is about to eat a mop, so he asked his son to come and sell a favor to himself, so that his uncle would be embarrassed to speak up again?
