Chapter 302: Planning
With the general direction to deal with Zhao Qian decided, it was time to discuss the specifics and details of the plan.
Gao Ming took out his notebook and a stack of documents, "Last time, I mentioned to you, Cousin, that Zhao Qian has been involved in escort missions on average once every two months.
His last mission was last year. Due to the investigation into the downfall of Ink Orchid Corporation and the Zhao family, he hasn't participated in company operations for a long time. It seems he's only recently freed himself from these negative repercussions.
Next, he will definitely take the initiative to get involved in operations. As a manager, he must prove his capabilities to his superiors and show his subordinates that he can still hold his position. So, at the latest, within these two months, he will definitely choose to participate in a transportation mission."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, "If the Processing Bureau continues to exert pressure, will it force him to stay in Central City?"
Gao Ming replied, "Unless the influence exerted by the Processing Bureau is significant enough to prompt Union Vast Control to replace him, otherwise, he'll be even more eager to prove himself."
Chen Chuan nodded, "So, we can assume that if he still can't participate in company affairs after this incident, it means Union Vast Control is ready to give up on him?"
Gao Ming pushed up his glasses, "Yes."
Chen Chuan considered this. If this were indeed the case, it would be the ideal situation, but they couldn't pin their hopes on it. He looked up and asked, "Gao Ming, how long do you estimate before he personally gets involved in the next operation?"
Gao Ming responded, "Union Vast Control conducts business evaluations and summaries every three months. It's now April. Due to Zhao Qian's investigation, he didn't participate in the last quarter. If it's delayed until after June, that's half a year gone. If he wants to dispel the negative impact and prove himself to the company, there will definitely be action before June."
Chen Chuan nodded, "So, you mentioned earlier that he might take action this month or next month."
"So, it's best we prepare everything within half a month."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, "Half a month should be enough."
Gao Ming picked up a stack of documents from the desk and extracted a few, sliding them towards Chen Chuan, "These are the publicly available records of Union Vast Control's transportation teams.
Apart from Zhao Qian, the team has a person in charge of execution, an anonymous security officer with the codename 'You Sun', likely a Third Limit Fighter."
Chen Chuan picked up the top document, which had a blurry photo in the upper left corner. Due to the protective helmet, there were hardly any recognizable features, and only a simple introduction and past mission success rates were provided.
Gao Ming then pushed another document towards him, "This is an analysis report from Union Vast Control's competitor, Antan Company, and other companies. It's likely reliable."
Chen Chuan took it and saw that it was an analysis of someone close to Zhao Qian, confirming the existence of such a person.
Indeed, a direct attack on an armed team was not a good idea. Even without considering the company team's strength, the presence of three Third Limit experts made a surprise assault nearly impossible.
Using a monster curse was the right choice.
Even with the altered covenant, this monster curse could only proceed after the target actively attacked him. Furthermore, it was preferable for the target's attack to contain a certain degree of hostility, meaning Zhao Qian must initiate an attack first. How to achieve this was the question.
It seemed that the specifics needed to be discussed with Wu Bei.
Since it was past midnight, and Gao Ming didn't have the physical stamina of a fighter, he didn't linger. After leaving, he immediately contacted Wu Bei through a boundary token. As a resonator, this was the time when his abilities were at their peak. When they connected, he asked, "Brother Wu, is our conversation secure?"
Wu Bei's confident voice came through, "Brother Chen, rest assured. With the resonance nest, I have the capability to interfere with information transmission. Even if there's surveillance, I can detect it in advance."
Chen Chuan said, "In that case, do you remember how You Shang targeted me last time?"
"Of course, I remember. How could I forget? His skills are truly impressive."
Chen Chuan said, "If I need the same method to target someone else, possibly a mid-level company executive, can you do it?"
Wu Bei's breath quickened with tension and excitement. He thought for a moment, "Technically, I can do it, but it depends on the specific location. If the target is within the company, protected by a bio-domain, it's difficult to achieve."
"In other words, it's feasible outside the company?"
Wu Bei said, "Yes, if the target is a mid-level executive, they should have resonators providing technical support at all times. However, it's impossible to carry a resonance nest when traveling, so I'd have a high chance of success."
Chen Chuan pondered, this aspect wasn't an issue. Once the plan was executed, the Processing Bureau would surely issue a mandatory summons for Zhao Qian, creating the opportunity they needed.
He said, "When the time comes, the target will leave the company."
Wu Bei replied, "If that's the case, there's only one problem left. Chen Xiaoge, I know that Youshang's plan is to use the Bio-Domain and Anomaly Rules. The initial technical preparations are to provoke the target to counterattack, paving the way for the next step."
But what kind of mimicry should I use to force the target to counterattack or take the initiative? I can't use Chen Xiaoge's image, right? That would expose us. Choosing a random one doesn't seem to work either. Is there anyone or anything that the target deeply fears or is afraid of?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea, but it will take some time. Wu Xiaoge, I'll contact you again later."
Deep Unreached Zone, Underground Combat Gym.
Lu Fang was pointing at the young men practicing in the arena. Unlike the two seniors, he didn't scold or beat these young people. Whenever they made a mistake, he patiently and meticulously guided them.
The short-haired youth leaned against the wall, watching for a long time. After a while, the bell rang, signaling the end of the class. The young men cheered and ran off, but Lu Fang walked back.
The short-haired youth threw him a bottle of water, saying, "Lu Fang, you don't have to be so polite to them. In Central City, your good temper will only make people think you're easy to bully. Don't you see that these kids aren't afraid of you at all?"
Lu Fang twisted open the bottle and took a drink, saying, "Senior, I don't need them to be afraid of me. As long as they learn the skills, that's enough."
The short-haired youth said, "Learn? You're using the methods of Wu Yi Academy to teach them. They don't need this. They learn this so that they can go out and fight others, so they can make a living. What they need is to pick up a weapon and go out to fight for survival resources."
Lu Fang shook his head, but he didn't say that the senior was wrong. Since the incident with Chen Chuan, he has learned a lot. He hasn't been in the other person's position, nor has he experienced what the other person has gone through, so he doesn't have the qualifications to lecture others.
Moreover, during his most difficult times, these two seniors chose to accept and help him.
Seeing that Lu Fang didn't speak, the short-haired youth didn't say more. At this time, he asked, "Lu Fang, you mentioned that junior, the one you said you wanted to meet the other day. Has he said he would help you?"
699
Lu Fang said, "The junior 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 it. Once you enter the main institute, no matter what you were like before, now you're not on the same path as us."
Who are the people around him? They're all the original recommended students. Once they get to the main institute, they quickly blend in with the others.
I've seen many people like this. Hmph, once they get to Central City and make a name for themselves, they can't wait to cut ties with those they originally knew. To be honest, I'd be surprised if you could even see him."
Lu Fang said, "I don't know about others, but Chen junior isn't like that."
"What's he like, then? To be honest, I'm quite curious about him. How did he get into Wu Yi Academy? He's not even a recommended student, that's truly rare."
Lu Fang didn't answer directly but walked to the side and took out a newspaper from his bag, "This is the newspaper I kept. Senior, you can take a look."
"What is it?"
The senior took it curiously and looked at it for a while, his eyes widened in disbelief, "This...this isn't a joke, is it?" Because the newspaper detailedly reported Chen Chuan's single-handedly killing thirty members of the Mutual Aid Society.
"No, this is the initial report of Chen junior's incident."
Lu Fang spoke calmly, "If the senior returns to Yangzhi, then you'll know if I'm telling the truth."
"I won't go back."
The senior shook his head, "I barely made it to Central City. Yangzhi has nothing good. It's secluded and remote, just a corner of the world. Central City is the entire world. Here, you can find everything you can't find outside."
Once we obtain our identities, we can openly open our own combat gyms, become security captains and advisors, and when we accumulate some capital, we can fully focus on breaking into the Third Limit, and our lives will completely change."
Lu Fang didn't think his words were completely fantastical. After all, he had sparred with these two seniors, and their combat skills were quite impressive. Moreover, they were not even twenty-five years old, lacking various combat cultivation resources. With some effort, there's still hope.
The senior looked at the newspaper again, and the more he looked, the more incredible it seemed. Moreover, the key wasn't just that Chen Chuan killed so many members of the Mutual Aid Society, but also that he was unharmed afterward. This must mean someone powerful was backing him, and not just anyone.
He looked at Lu Fang, "Junior, now I'm starting to believe you."
