Chapter 373: Preparations
Director Wu spoke, "Executor Chen, if Meng Huang truly has connections with a certain entity, then he and those close to him could be extremely dangerous."
There had been such cases before, even Tier Three Fighters might not be able to guarantee their own safety. Therefore, we permit you to abandon the target if necessary."
Deputy Director Fang added, "You might be wondering, if we already had suspicions, why didn't we take action sooner? It's because we couldn't fully confirm Meng Huang's situation.
Without sufficient evidence, taking action against the main person in charge of a medium-sized company would cause too many uncertainties. Various parties wouldn't allow it, and we could only start from within the company."
Chen Chuan understood, "I can comprehend."
A medium-sized company supported by the government couldn't just have problems so easily, as it involved many aspects. Insufficient evidence would cause other companies to be suspicious if Meng Huang was directly dealt with.
If such a large company suddenly collapsed without proper preparation, the excess profits might attract the attention of other companies, leading to a division of interests. This was a difficult situation to prevent.
It involved various interests and couldn't be handled solely by the Execution Bureau.
Deputy Director Fang said, "It's good that you understand."
When executing certain actions, especially against large groups and powers, one must consider the overall situation. For individuals, some things might be incomprehensible and not easily understood.)
In reality, there wasn't much that couldn't be understood. It was just that the people and interests they had to consider weren't limited to themselves.)
When dealing with a Tier Three Fighter, things couldn't be so simple and rough.
For a fighter like Chen Chuan, who possessed great strength and immense potential, it was best to resolve things through conversation and negotiation, appeasing him. Otherwise, don't expect him to give his all.
At this point, Chen Chuan asked, "Regarding this matter, I have one more question. If the Execution Bureau didn't directly intervene before to avoid provoking a violent reaction from Meng Huang, how should my identity issue be handled?"
Deputy Director Fang replied, "There's no need to do anything special. Meng Huang knows we're watching him, and your relationship with Meng Shu only reduces the possibility of him acting suddenly. But even so, it doesn't mean he won't do it. So, we're mainly providing an explanation to the outside world."
Chen Chuan understood. Whether there was this relationship or not, an invitation from within the company and the Execution Bureau's intervention were two different matters.
Since he was Meng Shu's classmate and the latter had proactively invited him, it appeared to be a competition between company heirs on the surface. Others had no reason to interfere, even if they knew what was going on behind the scenes.
This way, Meng Huang would have a hard time utilizing other external conditions for at least a while. They only needed to concentrate their forces against Meng Huang.
Deputy Director Fang reminded him, "Chen Executor, due to this situation, we won't be able to provide much help on the surface. You might have to overcome the difficulties on your own."
Considering the dire situation you're facing, we can provide assistance in other areas. We'll assign a team of three Resonators to support you. They can provide remote weapon references, enhance your strength with drugs, and customize equipment according to your requirements."
If you have any other needs, we'll do our best to help you as long as it's within our ability."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I often work with a Resonator. I hope he can join the team and serve as the action commander."
Director Wu's voice deepened, "I'll take charge of this matter." He understood that people who often worked together had a tacit understanding and stronger trust, especially in critical moments. Such people were the most reliable.
Chen Chuan added, "My cousin, Gao Ming, is my private counsel. He needs to be informed about this matter to some extent."
Deputy Director Fang checked the information using a Boundary Vessel, "Chen Executor, did you choose him as your relative to be informed before?"
"Yes," Chen Chuan replied.
Deputy Director Fang said, "As long as you ensure he doesn't disclose specific details, it's fine. Even if you didn't bring this up, we were already planning to arrange a counsel advisor."
Once Chen Chuan entered the Fusion Boundary Corporation, it involved business matters. Using violent means against employees wasn't common. Often, commercial and legal means were used to deal with people, making it difficult to employ force even if it was available. So, Chen Chuan had to be cautious in this regard.
If he encountered problems later, he could inform them, even if it was a matter that would go to court. They could temporarily help him postpone or suppress it.
After hearing this, Chen Chuan felt that there were no major issues. He said, "My requests are roughly these. As for the rest, I'd like to consider them after returning."
Director Wu said, "That's right. This matter is important, so think carefully and try to prepare as much as possible in advance."
Deputy Director Fang added, "But do it as soon as possible. Your meeting with Meng Shu yesterday must have been noticed by Meng Huang. If he's going to take action, it might happen within a short time."
However, your classmate is quite intelligent. After meeting you that day, he went to negotiate a deal with Wan Sheng Financial, and he's still there as of now.
Although Wan Sheng Financial does not provide outsourced security services, their security measures are top-notch within the Central City. However, this also gives Meng Huang time to adjust, so after the business negotiations are concluded, there may be potential issues during the journey back to the company.
We can conduct investigations and precautions along the way, but you're aware that the Bureau has limited personnel. Even if we can screen for potential long-range snipers and blasting teams, it's difficult to monitor skilled fighters, so you'll need to find a way to deal with them.
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director Fang, for the information. I'll do what needs to be done."
After discussing some additional precautions and confirming them, Chen Chuan bid farewell and left. In the parking lot, he first contacted Gao Ming, "Gao Ming, the Execution Bureau does have arrangements, but the situation is slightly different from what we initially thought. Let's meet and discuss."
According to Gao Ming's analysis, Fusion Boundary Corporation has extensive government collaborations, almost like a downstream company of the national enterprise. However, the current leader, Meng Huang, has a different idea, so Gao Ming believes that Meng Shu should receive government support.
In this way, after Meng Shu applies to the Execution Bureau, the Bureau will likely go along with the arrangement, ensuring that neither side suffers any losses.)
The current situation differs from the initial analysis, but the outcome seems to be the same.)
Chen Chuan drove straight to the apartment building where Gao Ming lived. After parking and waiting for a while, Gao Ming opened the car door and sat down, then asked, "Brother, what's the situation now?"
Chen Chuan briefly explained the recent events to him.
Gao Ming listened, adjusted his glasses, and analyzed, "It seems that the other world's infiltration is more severe than I thought. The contact with the entities from the World Ring can be achieved by the leader of a medium-sized company, and the management of large companies and certain government personnel should also be able to do so. It's just a matter of crossing boundaries and constraints."
Chen Chuan said, "There's also the possibility of different contact subjects."
"Yes, that's possible. We have too little information in hand to make a judgment. If we make assumptions based on limited information, we might stray far from the truth. Fortunately, we don't need to worry about these for now, Brother. The situation has changed from the initial assessment, and the danger level is higher. Are you confident you can handle it?"
Chen Chuan replied, "I've never encountered the entities from the other side, so it's hard to say. However, even if Meng Huang can be utilized, there is a distinction between him and those entities.
As a fighter and a member of the Execution Bureau, I will eventually have to face these entities directly. This time, we are prepared, and it's like we're on our home turf. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to learn more about those entities."
Gao Ming trusted Chen Chuan's judgment, as he was the professional in such matters.
Chen Chuan said, "You help me respond to Meng Shu's side, and I'll take over her security system."
Gao Ming said, "I'll contact them right away."
At this moment, Chen Chuan also contacted Wu Bei and briefly explained the situation, without mentioning any confidential details. He only mentioned the need for technical assistance.
Wu Bei was truly excited; this was a significant development, and he could showcase his skills! He patted his chest and said, "Brother Chen, rest assured. Leave the field domain information to me, and I guarantee I'll maintain it well."
After Chen Chuan finished the call, the Boundary Vessel on his wrist flashed, and Gao Ming sent over an icon. It resembled a semi-arc surface overlapping with an arc-shaped light, like the merging of two planetary surfaces. The front was dim, and the back was intensely bright.
This was the company emblem of Fusion Boundary Corporation.
He focused his gaze on it, and after a while, the Fusion Boundary Hub appeared on the screen.
Immediately, he discovered that his identity had been updated. After 'Execution Bureau Executor', the title 'Fusion Boundary Corporation Security Advisor' was added.
He could browse the current security member configuration and composition around Meng Shu, but since he could see it, it implied that higher-level personnel within the company could also access this information.
No wonder Meng Shu was worried. If they encountered an attack, these security members could pose a serious threat with just a little non-cooperation.
Therefore, in addition to the security arrangements made by the company, Meng Shu should also have her own hired security team. This would be sufficient to deal with ordinary situations, but against a Tier Three Expert, they could only serve as a temporary obstacle.
It hasn't been easy for Meng Shu to hold out until now. It's likely that her grandfather and other internal forces are supporting her, and perhaps Meng Huang has some reservations.
However, when Meng Shu attempts to counterattack and external forces start to get involved, the situation changes. The Execution Bureau's judgment is correct; this is indeed the most likely time for action.
As he was pondering, the Boundary Vessel flashed again, and a contact was trying to add him.
