Chapter 1057: A Journey to Foreign Lands Under Clear Skies
Chen Chuan reached out and took the suitcase handed to him, saying solemnly, "Thank you, seniors, and please also convey my gratitude to the senior who helped."
Mask replied, "Rest assured, I'll definitely deliver it. I was just thinking, some people in the faction really get on my nerves. Once bitten, twice shy. Your contributions are there for all to see, don't you think these investments are worth it?"
"If you ask me, the faction should provide everything you need. Now, with this little help, it's not enough. If I had the power, I'd give those people a good scolding!"
Mr. Zhuan didn't pay attention to Mask's complaints. He said, "Chen Chuan, we've done our best, and this is all we could manage. For the rest of the resources, you'll have to find them yourself."
Chen Chuan said earnestly, "What we have is already more than enough. Along the way, both of you have helped me a lot, and I will remember this. From now on, I might be away for some time, so please take care of yourselves."
Mr. Zhuan nodded silently.
Mask said, "Don't worry, Chen Chuan. We'll keep an eye on things. And if you can't find other resources for a while, just send us a telegram, and we'll think of another way. After all, we know each other well. Even if it doesn't work out, it's okay to wait for a while. There's always a solution, so don't worry."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Alright, if that's the case, I'll trouble you two again."
Mask said with satisfaction, "That's the way it should be. Don't be polite, Chen Chuan. Take care on your journey. Go ahead and don't worry about us. Our next shift will be here soon."
Mr. Zhuan said, "Have a safe trip."
Chen Chuan bid them farewell, shook hands with Mr. Zhuan, and then parted ways with the two. He picked up his suitcase and turned to leave.
Mr. Zhuan and Mask watched his figure gradually disappear into the crowd of people leaving the station. Mask sighed and said, "Old Zhuan, I feel both happy and a bit sad."
Mr. Zhuan thought for a moment and started walking towards the waiting hall. "Maybe the next time we meet, Chen Chuan won't need our help anymore."
"That makes sense, but shouldn't we be happy about this?"
"You're already happy about it."
"Old Zhuan, you're right this time. Hey, this way, this way, the sign is over here..."
After leaving the station, Chen Chuan boarded a dirigible and returned to the Golden Maple Manor villa area.
He had made all the necessary arrangements and said goodbye to everyone he needed to. Now, he was preparing for his departure the next day.
He went back to his study, took out the Xuejun Blade and the short knife he rarely used, and carefully cleaned them.
After finishing this task, he entered the collection room and slowly walked past each weapon, occasionally picking one up to examine.
Finally, he looked around the entire collection room, realizing that he might not see these weapons for a long time during his trip abroad. He couldn't help but wonder if he could build a similar collection in the Federation.
After finishing his inspection, he reluctantly left the room, closing the door behind him. He took a jade piece and inserted it into a crack in the wall, causing the ritual patterns on it to light up instantly.
As the collection room was very important, he had set up a ritual to prevent intruders while he was away.
This ritual was the most intricate one he had ever created. He had not only sought advice from Director Lei but also referred to many secret ritual books. He even used the swarf and other items obtained from the guardian Yu, which significantly improved his ritual skills.
He pushed the closed door to ensure everything was secure, then nodded in satisfaction and returned to his room.
He had just poured himself a cup of tea when a communication signal from the Boundary Talisman appeared, sent by Wansong Company.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and confirmed the request. Soon, the company sent him the communication signal.
He pondered for a moment, realizing that Wansong Company's capabilities were indeed impressive. They not only operated in Daxun but could also provide services in the Federation.
If this was a globally unified company, it might even surpass multinational corporations in terms of scale and strength.
However, it was also possible that it was a joint venture, with each country's branch operating independently, sharing resources and information, and perhaps even sharing resources.
It was hard to say about other countries, but in Daxun, a company of this scale would undoubtedly face scrutiny and suppression, preventing it from growing unchecked.
After becoming a committee member of the Security Affairs Department, he had tried to use his authority to access the company's information. However, the department informed him that due to the involvement of confidential information, there was no field information record, and it was inconvenient to use telegrams or field information transmission. If he wanted to view the records, he would have to go to the capital to check the files.
Under these circumstances, he could only put it aside for now. He didn't have the time to travel to the capital, and even the department had to be cautious with the archives, indicating the depth of the underlying issues. For the time being, he didn't need to investigate further. As long as Wansong Company didn't overstep its bounds, there was no need to pay it any mind.
He put the matter aside and sat by the window, picking up a book to read. At 9:30, he closed the book and placed it in the suitcase he had prepared earlier.
He took a quick shower, then looked out the window at the dazzling lights outside. He drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and this time, instead of adjusting the room, he returned to bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
At 5 AM the next morning, Chen Chuan woke up from his deep slumber. After washing up, he prepared some water and food for Chao Ming, then went downstairs to have breakfast with his aunt's family.
Today, his aunt's family would send him off, so his cousins were up early, yawning.
After breakfast, he returned to his room, changed into a brand-new uniform, took the Xuejun Blade from its rack, picked up his suitcase, and came downstairs. By then, his aunt's family was almost ready, and Gao Ming was waiting, greeting him, "Good morning, cousin."
Chen Chuan smiled and nodded, "Gao Ming, good morning."
In the Federation, many matters required the involvement of lawyers, and Gao Ming, as his dedicated lawyer, would naturally accompany him on this trip.
After tidying up, a steward came up, took his suitcase, and opened the front door for him.
Chen Chuan walked out, facing the morning sun. In front of the villa area, armed personnel were lined up on both sides.
Yuan Qiuyuan, Qin Qingque, and Su Wei stood at the forefront, all in neat uniforms, saluting him in unison, saying, "Captain!"
They were now officially part of Chen Chuan's dedicated security detail, so they would follow him wherever he went, including this trip to the Federation.
Chen Chuan stood on the steps and returned the salute. He looked into the distance, where Wei Chang'an, Wu Han, Wei Dong, Luo Kaiyuan, Feng Xiaoqi, and others were all dressed in Processing Bureau uniforms. In the far distance, Ren Xiaotian and several technical experts stood.
He couldn't help but think of the mission they were about to undertake. Most of the people standing before him were also here, and he smiled, walking down the steps, with his aunt's family following behind.
As they walked, the guards on both sides saluted them. The steward had already placed the luggage and opened the doors of the armored vehicle for them.
The departure point was at the Anchoring Tower in Jiyang District, and they needed to depart together. The dirigible had already arrived there, and there were still some handover matters at the port, so they went directly by car.
The latest news, the smallest news, said that at 6:9, the book bar, the leader, will be published!
The route they took had been secured in advance, and after half an hour, when the sun shone over the sea, the vehicle entered the port of Jiyang District.
At this moment, the delegation leader, Xie Xinmin, and the two deputy leaders were talking with Qi Weizhao. Seeing the convoy approaching, Qiao Yang walked up and reminded them, "Minister Xie, Director Zheng, Chen Chief has arrived."
The armed convoy drove directly into the docking area of the square. The guards below the Anchoring Tower raised their guns in salute.
After the vehicle stopped in the square, the door opened, and Chen Chuan stepped out. He took a look ahead, said a word to his aunt's family, and walked towards Xie Xinmin and Qi Weizhao.
When he approached, Xie Xinmin took the initiative to come forward and shake his hand, "Chief Chen, hello, I'm Xie Xinmin. Nice to meet you." The two deputy leaders also came forward to shake hands with him.
One of them was Lu Guangde, a division chief in the Industrial Resources Department, and the other was He Yishan, deputy director of the Publicity Administration Office. Both were in their fifties, and their spirits looked very good.
Xie Xinmin said, "Chief Chen, this delegation is heading to a distant land. We will rely on you for security matters during the journey."
Chen Chuan said, "I heard that Minister Xie has led several teams on missions, all of which were successfully completed. Your experience, along with that of the two of you, is richer than that of the younger generation. Please guide us when the time comes."
"You're too kind, Chief Chen, you're too kind."
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, then discussed some matters related to the trip. Some things had already been communicated beforehand, and now they were confirming them again.
As the Linx Federation delegation was returning with them this time, and the delegation's armed forces also had the task of escorting, there were actually quite a few things to consider.
After confirming everything, Xie Xinmin looked at his watch and said, "There are thirty minutes until departure. Let's take our positions."
Everyone nodded and dispersed. Chen Chuan walked back to where Nian Fuli, Yu Wan, and his cousins were. He smiled and said, "Auntie, Uncle, Lulu, Momo, I'm about to set off. When I arrive in the Federation, I'll send you a telegram."
Yu Wan stepped forward, slightly tiptoed to straighten his collar, and said, "Chanchuan, take care of yourself when you get there."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Auntie, I will."
Nian Fuli said, "Chuan, just focus on your work outside. Don't worry about home. Your uncle is not old yet; I can take care of the family."
Chen Chuan responded with a sound, "Okay, Uncle."
He patted the two little ones' heads and said with a smile, "Study hard. I'll bring you gifts when I come back."
Then, he looked up at Yu Wan and Nian Fuli and said, "Auntie, Uncle, I'm leaving."
Yu Wan's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded. Nian Fuli said, "Chuan, go."
The two little ones waved at him, "Goodbye, cousin."
Chen Chuan nodded, turned, and walked away, escorted by a group of armed personnel. He crossed the square, climbed the Anchoring Tower, and boarded the large dirigible he was going to take.
As he entered the cabin, he turned back and saw that Nian Fuli, Yu Wan, and his cousins were still waving at him from afar. He smiled and waved back at them, then entered the cabin.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of the propeller blades, one after another, the dirigibles took off from the Anchoring Tower, heading towards the distant end of the ocean under the morning sun and the sea breeze, leaving behind the send-off gazes of those at the port.
