Atlas of Heaven and Man

Hearing that Instructor Che wanted to see Chen Chuan, Yu Wan couldn't help but worry and asked, "Why does he want to see Chan'er?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt. Instructor Che and Uncle are colleagues in the same bureau. Since he's come to the door, he's a guest. I'll go see him."

Nian Fuli said, "I'll go with Xiaochuan." He put his hat back on, buttoned up his coat, and went out with Chen Chuan.

Instructor Che didn't enter the family area but waited outside the alley. When Chen Chuan and Nian Fuli walked out, they saw a special car parked there, with two armed vehicles in front and behind for protection.

Standing in front of the car was a man in his early thirties, wearing the uniform of an instructor from the patrol bureau. This man had thick, knife-like eyebrows and very sharp eyes. He could be considered handsome, but he had an aggressive aura that made him unapproachable.

Seeing the two of them come out, he took the initiative to walk over, ignoring Nian Fuli and extending his hand to Chen Chuan, "Are you Executive Chen? I am Che Lie, the chief instructor of the Yangzhi Patrol Bureau."

When Chen Chuan saw the other party approaching, he realized that this person was also a Third Threshold combatant.

This was normal because, judging from Instructor Wen's situation, the chief instructor's responsibility was not only to train patrol officers but also to protect the personal safety of important figures in the patrol bureau.

This was a person who seemed to have no power on the surface but was actually very important.

As for the other party calling out his current identity in one breath, it was not surprising. He knew when he came out of the Processing Bureau that Third Threshold combatants, as long as they were registered, would have the local security department notified no matter where they went, both domestically and abroad.

Nian Fuli stood still and looked at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan said, "Uncle, it's okay. I'll talk to Instructor Che for a few words."

Nian Fuli said, "Then you guys chat. I'll be at the entrance of the alley. Call me if anything happens." With that, he walked back, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly.

Instructor Che ignored Nian Fuli and looked at Chen Chuan, saying, "Executive Chen, speaking of which, I also graduated from Wuyi in the Central City. I'll take the liberty of calling you junior."

Chen Chuan said, "So you are a senior from the main academy."

Instructor Che looked at him a few times and said, "Junior Chen is really young and promising. When I graduated from the academy, it took me three years to enter the Third Threshold.

But you, junior, have achieved such achievements in just over half a year since entering the main academy. I haven't seen many people with such talent."

Chen Chuan's mind had become much sharper now. He could feel that although this person was very polite to him in his words and was trying to get closer to him, there was a faint hostility and scrutiny hidden behind it.

He said, "Senior Che is too kind."

Che Lie said, "I know what you've done before, Executive Chen. Those parasites who hinder the country should be dealt with harshly, and they should be exterminated without any leniency."

Hearing him say this, Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of the person he saw with Commissioner Feng Te. Are people from the National Temporary Special Action Committee all like this?

Che Lie said, "Although Yangzhi has now eliminated those parasites, there are still many targets that endanger the Da Shun government that need to be eliminated, such as those armed elements outside the city."

Chen Chuan said, "Is Instructor Che talking about those villagers?"

"Villagers?"

Che Lie's eyes sharpened, and he said, "They are not villagers. They illegally possess weapons, harbor members of resistance organizations, and establish strongholds. This is resisting the Da Shun government and must be suppressed!"

Chen Chuan remained noncommittal.

Che Lie raised his eyebrows and stared at him, saying, "Executive Chen, you seem to have some sympathy for those resistance organizations? This is not a good tendency."

Chen Chuan raised his eyes and looked directly at his face, saying, "Senior Che is not a local of Yangzhi, is he?"

When Che Lie met his bright and sharp gaze, he couldn't help but lean back slightly, his expression slightly condensed. He said in a deep voice, "I only came to Yangzhi this year to take office, but as soon as I arrived, I discovered many problems. These have been accumulated over a long period of time, and now it is time to clean up and correct them."

Chen Chuan said, "Senior Che, I grew up in Yangzhi since I was a child. Those villages have been there since then. They have never been a threat to Yangzhi City. On the contrary, they are often looted by bandits.

Just last year, I also wiped out a group of bandits who tried to rob the villages there. Later, it was proven that they were involved with the resistance organization that participated in the train robbery. If these villages are all strongholds of the resistance organization, would they rob themselves?"

Che Lie slowly said, "Executive Chen is indeed talented. I heard about what you did last year, but your information is outdated. That robbery was just an internal struggle among members of the resistance organization.

One of the tasks I was sent to the Yangzhi Patrol Bureau by the superiors this time is to be responsible for cleaning them up, and I will take action tomorrow."

He looked at Chen Chuan, "Junior Chen, this is a good opportunity to show your skills. Every effort we make will be seen by the superiors. Would you like to come along?"

Chen Chuan refused, "Senior Che, I'm sorry, I just plan to enjoy my vacation quietly and spend time with my family this time I come home. This is not my duty either, so please excuse me for not being able to accompany you."

Che Lie stared at him for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then Junior Chen should have a good vacation. I won't disturb you." After saying that, he nodded and turned to walk towards the car.

The patrol officer who followed him immediately opened the car door for him. Just before entering the car, he paused, turned around, and said, "I will go out to suppress bandits tomorrow. If Junior Chen changes his mind, you can come and find me again."

After saying that, he sat in, and the car door slammed shut. Then, escorted by two armed patrol cars, it slowly drove away.

Chen Chuan watched him leave. Although this person was just a chief instructor, his pomp was even greater than that of the bureau chief.

He walked back, and Nian Fuli, who was waiting there, said, "Are you done talking?" He nodded, and Nian Fuli stubbed out the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it a few times, "Let's go back."

When they returned to the house, Nian Fuli gave Yu Wan, who was waiting there, a reassuring look and said, "It's okay." He then said to Chen Chuan, "Xiaochuan, what did that Che guy say to you?"

Chen Chuan first poured him a glass of water and then said, "What he meant was that he wanted to invite me to help suppress the villages outside the city, but I think his real purpose is not to let me come out to hinder him."

Yu Wan said in confusion, "But Chan'er, what does this have to do with you?"

"No, it does matter." Nian Fuli took off his hat and said, "Xiaochuan is not an ordinary person now. Xiaochuan is from the Central City and has a position in the General Administration of Processing. He is a formal enforcer of the Central City and can talk to the General Administration."

He touched the short stubble on his head, "I said no wonder. It was originally decided that I would go, but they didn't let me go and put on a polite face. It turns out it's because of Xiaochuan here."

Chen Chuan said, "Perhaps that's the case."

In fact, he knew in his heart that what Nian Fuli said was only one reason. More importantly, it should be the weight of his status as a Third Threshold combatant, as well as his intricate relationship with the patrol bureau. Not helping was secondary, but it would be very easy to cause trouble if he wanted to.

It seemed that Che Lie really valued this operation, so he specially came out to meet him.

Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is a mess."

Nian Fuli waved his hand, "Let's eat first."

After dinner, Yu Wan took the two little ones out for a walk, while Chen Chuan and Nian Fuli sat down to discuss what happened just now. Before they could say a few words, the phone suddenly rang.

Nian Fuli went over to pick it up. After listening for a while, he snorted and put it down, saying, "It was Xiao Wu calling. He said that Che Lie just left with people. I heard that he left in a hurry."

Chen Chuan said, "He told me just now it was tomorrow."

Nian Fuli shook his head and said, "He didn't tell the truth. Maybe he was afraid of accidents. Before, when performing tasks, there would also be sudden changes, in order to prevent information from leaking."

Chen Chuan turned his thoughts. Che Lie took action as soon as he went back. Perhaps he was afraid of things changing. Was it because of his disapproval in the conversation just now? Or for some other reason.

But he couldn't control these things at the moment. Seeing Nian Fuli calling his colleagues in the bureau to inquire about news, he didn't stay in the living room and turned back to his room.

He flipped through a book for a while. When the time was about right, he took a sedative and began to guide his breathing technique.

Currently, he was completely able to replace sleep with breathing techniques, which was very useful for maintaining his state, and breathing techniques were also particularly useful for regulating his mood.

One night passed quickly. At five o'clock in the morning, the phone suddenly rang in the living room. Nian Fuli had already gotten up. He put down the towel he used to wipe his face and walked over. After picking up the phone, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed. His voice couldn't help but rise, "Say it again?"

Hearing the movement, Chen Chuan walked out of the room.

At this time, Nian Fuli put down the phone and said to Yu Wan and Chen Chuan, "Che Lie is dead. He died outside a village last night."

Yu Wan was obviously shocked, "Just... that Instructor Che who came to the door yesterday? Didn't you say that Instructor Che was very powerful?"

Nian Fuli frowned and said, "The situation is unclear. This is no small matter." He quickly grabbed the belt hanging on the hanger and tied it on, hurriedly picked up his hat, "I'm going to the bureau now."

Chen Chuan then said, "Uncle, let me go with you."

Nian Fuli hesitated for a moment, then decisively said, "Okay! Xiaochuan, you come! You are capable. Che Lie looked for you yesterday. I guess the bureau will ask you questions later, so let's go together."
