Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan listened to the sound of the call ending on the other end. He pondered for a moment, wondering where this person came from. Poison Ant Express? The Moss Gang? Or perhaps… Green Source Ecological Company?

The person's words contained veiled threats, but this precisely indicated limited strength and some reservations; otherwise, there would have been no need to talk to him, they could have just acted directly.

However, this did prove that the Lu Tong Logistics matter might not be as simple as a superficial business conflict; it should be related to something else.

Moreover, the fact that the other party could find out his identity meant they knew he wouldn't stay here for long, so there was no need to rush to tell him this; they could have waited until he left.

Or, was it precisely because they knew his identity that they were afraid of the Bureau of Investigation getting involved?

Hmm, this is a bit interesting.

Perhaps he could write a report later. After all, although the Bureau of Investigation doesn't pay much attention to the lower districts, this is also part of the Central City, and of course, within the Bureau of Investigation's jurisdiction.

Just as he was thinking, Lan Xinnan contacted him: "Brother Chen, is there anything else you need? If not, we'll head back now."

Chen Chuan said, "Go back. There's something I wanted to ask. Do you have any Resonators here?"

Lan Xinnan said, "Yes, we have a team. Is there anything you need, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Chuan said, "It's nothing. If it's convenient later, please have them help me check a signal."

The field signals here and in the upper city cannot be directly connected, so there's no way to directly ask Wu Bei for help. However, if there are Resonators here, they can help investigate.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone when I get back."

After ending the call, the entire convoy started moving, heading back to the camp.

As they were leaving, one of the Poison Ant Express members recorded the fight between the two people earlier. At this moment, he walked alone to a corner and said to the Boundary Marker:

"According to your instructions, I used what you gave me to record the scene. But you didn't say it would be so dangerous beforehand. You have to add more money."

"The boss is generous!"

"Okay, the transaction location is the same old place. I'll be there soon."

Elsewhere, Old Bian came back to his senses from the scene transmitted from the Boundary Marker. He was very glad that he hadn't clashed with Chen Chuan before, otherwise the one whose head was stomped on today might not have been Gai Er, but himself.

However, many third-limit fighters in the lower city have circles, and Gai Er's death immediately spread throughout the circle. Because Gai Er often dealt with him, someone immediately contacted him.

"Old Bian, I heard that the person who killed Gai Er was hired by your Lu Tong Logistics. Isn't that your territory? Why did you change people? Are you retired?"

Old Bian knew that these people were pretending to inquire about information, but were actually secretly mocking him. Third-limit fighters have combat power even when they are old, and people like him don't need to do anything except show up at critical moments. There is no such thing as retirement. It was obvious that he had been kicked out.

He was furious, but he couldn't help but deal with it on the surface, saying a few casual words to get rid of the person.

But just as he finished, another one came: "Old Bian, the newcomer is quite powerful. Is he your apprentice? Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"

Old Bian said, holding back his anger, "He's not my apprentice."

"Not your apprentice?"

The other party pretended to be surprised and said, "You just gave it up even though he's not your apprentice? That's why they say Old Bian is highly respected and noble, giving way to young people. Amazing. People like us are too vulgar to bear to move our positions."

Just as he finished speaking with this person, another one came after a while. Obviously, the news had spread by now. This person spoke in a seemingly comforting tone:

"Old Bian, I saw what happened to Gai Er. I understand your approach. Young people are very irritable now and don't talk about martial arts. We are all old and have nothing to fight with them. Knowing that we can't do it, it's good to step down. After fighting for a lifetime, aren't we allowed to enjoy ourselves?"

After dealing with several contacts in a row, Old Bian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Unfortunately, his apprentice still couldn't read the situation and said excitedly, "Master, now that Gai Er is dead, it's our turn to play, right?"

"Play what!?" Old Bian scolded angrily. He was frightened by the last scene he saw. It's better to let Poison Ant Express and the Moss Gang deal with such people.

The apprentice shrank his head after being scolded and muttered, "Then we'll just let it go?"

Old Bian snorted and said, "Could it be that Poison Ant Express will just give in because Gai Er died? Will the Moss Gang just end it like this? How could it be so simple? Wait and see, there's still a good show to watch."

The apprentice suddenly understood, but at this time someone seemed to be contacting him. After answering a few questions, he looked up and said, "Master, it's someone from Poison Ant Express, asking if we knew the person's details and why we didn't tell them earlier?"

Old Bian sneered and said, "Tell them that the person only arrived yesterday. We didn't have time to find out. Besides, they are the fighting parties. Shouldn't they have found out beforehand? Do they still need us to provide information?"

"Oh."

The apprentice then said, "Master, Poison Ant Express said this matter is not over."

Old Bian snorted, feeling a little annoyed in his heart. Were they seeing that they couldn't deal with it, so they came to him to say harsh words? Was everyone treating him like a soft persimmon?

After the Lu Tong Logistics convoy returned to the camp, Chen Chuan got out of the car. The Resonator that Lan Xinnan found for him also arrived. This was a serious and conscientious Mr. Chi in his thirties.

After checking, he said, "Mr. Chen, this should just be a Boundary Point signal. In the lower city, in order to avoid tracking signals, they usually use a point-to-point transfer method, which is to have an unrelated person receive the signal and then forward it. Sometimes it may have to be transferred several times.

They themselves don't even know where it will eventually be transferred to.

This is a very simple method, but it works well. Even if we can find this Boundary Point, it may just be someone hired through the platform, not the main person. Of course, if Mr. Chen insists on finding it, we can also find it."

Chen Chuan said, "Is that so? Thank you." In that case, even if he changed to a more skilled person, it would be useless, so there was no need to continue searching.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Is there a way here to connect to the upper city?"

Old Chi said, "The upper city will shield the lower city's field, but it can bypass some loopholes through certain technical means. However, these loopholes are currently controlled by various gangs and groups. We used to have a signal channel, but after Lu Tong Express had problems, the channel was also lost.

Now, if we want to establish a stable connection with the top, we need to purchase signals from other gangs and groups. In addition to paying a large sum of money, we may not be able to guarantee that the content of the conversation will not be leaked.

If Little Brother Chen has any urgent or confidential situations to contact the top, then we can try to build a strong signal. However, because this is a 'private' signal, it may be subject to certain targeting and interference, so the conversation time cannot be too long. If it is limited to three minutes, it is still possible."

Chen Chuan nodded, "Thank you, then I'll trouble Mr. Chi to prepare first. I may need it later."

He asked and found out that the money was originally to be given to Old Bian. According to the agreement, Lu Tong Logistics was originally paid once a month, but the team's situation had been very bad in recent months, so it hadn't been paid in recent months. Now it was all transferred to him.

The money totaled 200,000, which was almost all the team's revenue for a quarter, excluding necessary expenses.

Looking at it this way, Old Bian was indeed very comfortable, earning so much money every month for doing almost nothing, but even so, this person seemed to be not very satisfied.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, but handed the card back.

Seeing this, Lan Xinnan was a little puzzled, and then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Little Brother Chen, I know this may be a little less for you. That's because we couldn't take on big business before, so we couldn't give you too much. But this time we took back the territory, I believe we can earn more, and we will make up for it to you then."

Chen Chuan shook his head, "I don't mean that, Captain Lan. I heard from Little Lu that you have been privately paying to find the implant body for Teacher Yu?

Teacher Yu is my enlightenment teacher. If he encounters something, I think I should help if I have the ability. Take this money back and get Teacher Yu a good implant body."

Lan Xinnan looked at him blankly. After a moment, she took the gold card back. "Little Brother Chen, Master does need these." She raised the card and said very seriously, "I'm borrowing this from you, Little Brother Chen. I will pay it back."

Chen Chuan said, "This matter is not urgent, Captain Lan. Where did you get your previous implant body channels?"

Lan Xinnan said, "I asked customers who have business dealings with the upper city to order it for me, but they said they can only order from small companies, they can't contact the big companies."

Chen Chuan nodded. He could imagine that these customers would definitely earn another sum from it, which was equivalent to being earned twice. Not only was a lot of money wasted, but the main thing was that the implant body they got might not be very good.

He said, "Then do you have a suitable implant body doctor?"

Lan Xinnan said, "Yes, we have a lot of security members who use implant bodies. There were originally three implant body doctors, but now there is only one left.

But her skills are very good, and her character is trustworthy. Teacher's previous implant body was the surgery she was responsible for. We also have a medical pod, which was left by the original Lu Tong Logistics. It is one of the few things we got from the original team."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will be responsible for contacting a channel."
