Chapter 373: Preparations
Director Wu spoke, "Enforcement Agent Chen, if Meng Huang truly has connections with a certain entity, then he and those close to him could be extremely dangerous.
There have been cases in the past where even a Third Limit Fighter couldn't necessarily protect themselves. Therefore, we are giving you the option to abandon the target."
Deputy Director Fang added, "You might be wondering, if we had suspicions, why didn't we act 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 like this would create too many uncertainties, and various parties wouldn't allow it. We can only approach this from within the company."
Chen Chuan understood, "I can comprehend."
A government-supported medium-sized company cannot easily encounter problems due to the involvement of multiple parties. Insufficient evidence could lead to other companies questioning the direct handling of Meng Huang.
Moreover, if a company of this scale suddenly collapses without proper preparation, the excess profits might attract the attention of other companies, making it difficult to prevent a scramble for those resources.
This involves the interests of various parties, and it's not something the Handling Bureau can handle alone.
Deputy Director Fang nodded, "It's good that you understand."
When executing certain actions, especially against large organizations and factions, one must consider the overall situation. For individuals, some things may seem unreasonable and incomprehensible.
In reality, there's nothing that can't be understood; it's just that the people and interests they need to consider are not their own.
However, when dealing with a Third Limit Fighter, the approach must be more nuanced, especially for a fighter like Chen Chuan, who possesses great strength and immense potential. In this case, it's best to resolve the issue through dialogue and negotiation, pacifying him. Otherwise, don't expect him to cooperate fully.
At this moment, Chen Chuan spoke up, "Regarding this matter, I have one more question. If the Handling Bureau couldn't directly intervene before because it might provoke a strong reaction from Meng Huang, then how should my identity be handled?"
Deputy Director Fang replied, "There's no need to do anything special. Meng Huang knows we're watching him, and your connection with Meng Shu only reduces the likelihood of him taking sudden action. But even with that, it doesn't guarantee he won't. So, we mainly need to provide an explanation for the outside world."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and understood. With this connection and without it, an invitation from within the company and forced intervention by the Handling Bureau are two different matters.
Since he is the classmate of Meng Shu, one of the heirs, and was invited by her, it still appears to be a competition between company heirs on the surface. Others have no reason to interfere, even if they know what's happening behind the scenes.
This way, Meng Huang will have a hard time utilizing external conditions for at least a period, and they can focus their efforts on dealing with him.
At this point, Deputy Director Fang reminded Chen Chuan, "Enforcement Agent Chen, because of this, we won't be able to offer you much help on the surface. You might have to overcome these difficulties on your own."
Considering the adverse situation you're facing, we can provide assistance in other areas. We'll assign a team of three Resonators, offer advice on long-range weapons, provide strength-enhancing drugs, and customize equipment and weapons according to your requirements.
If there's anything else you need, as long as it's within our capabilities, we'll do our best to help."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a Resonator who often works with me, and I want him to join the team as the action commander."
Director Wu spoke firmly, "I'll take charge of this matter." He understood that people who work together regularly have a certain rapport and trust, especially in critical moments, making them invaluable.
Chen Chuan continued, "My nephew, Gao Ming, is my private legal advisor, and he needs to be informed about this matter to some extent."
Deputy Director Fang checked the information using the Boundary Token, "Enforcement Agent Chen, did you choose him as the relative to disclose the situation to?"
"Yes."
Deputy Director Fang said, "As long as you ensure he doesn't leak specific details, it's fine. Even if you didn't bring this up, we were planning to assign a legal advisor."
Once you enter Fusion Boundary Corporation, it involves company business matters. Using violent means against employees and subordinates is not common; often, commercial and legal means are employed. This makes it challenging to use force, so you should be cautious in this regard.
If you encounter any issues later, you can bring them to our attention, even if they involve legal matters that could lead to litigation. We can temporarily help you postpone or suppress them."
After hearing this, Chen Chuan felt that there weren't any major issues. He said, "My requests are mostly these, and for the rest, I'd like to consider them when I get back."
Director Wu agreed, "That's right. This matter is important, so think it through 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 caught Meng Huang's attention. If he's extreme, he might take action within a short time."
Despite your classmate's intelligence, after meeting you that day, they went to Wansheng Bank to discuss a business deal and have been there ever since.
Although Wansheng Bank does not provide outsourced security services, their security measures are top-notch within Central City. However, this situation also provides Meng Huang with an opportunity to make adjustments. Therefore, after the business negotiation, there is a potential risk during the return trip to the company."
"We can investigate along the way, but as you know, the bureau has limited manpower. Even if we can identify potential long-range snipers and demolition teams, it's challenging to monitor close-quarters combat experts. This is where you'll need to step in."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director Fang, for the information. I'll take care of what needs to be done."
After discussing some additional precautions and confirming the details, Chen Chuan bid farewell and headed to the parking lot. There, he contacted Gao Ming, "Gao Ming, the Handling Bureau does have a plan, but the situation is slightly different from what we anticipated. Let's meet and talk."
According to Gao Ming's analysis, Fusion Boundary has extensive government collaborations, almost like a downstream company of the state. However, the current leader, Meng Huang, has different ideas. Gao Ming believes that Meng Shu will likely receive government support.
In this scenario, after Meng Shu applies to the Handling Bureau, they will most likely go along with the arrangement, ensuring no losses for either side.
The current situation differs from the initial analysis, but the outcome seems to be the same.
Chen Chuan drove straight to Gao Ming's apartment building and parked. Soon after, Gao Ming opened the car door and entered. He then asked, "What's the situation now, cousin?"
Chen Chuan briefed him on the recent events.
Gao Ming listened, adjusted his glasses, and analyzed, "The infiltration of that world into ours seems more severe than I thought. A mid-sized company's leader can make contact with the entities on the other side of the World Ring. I believe the management of larger companies and certain government officials could do the same. It's just a matter of crossing boundaries and constraints."
Chen Chuan added, "It could also be due to different points of contact."
"Yes, that's possible. We have very little information at the moment, so it's hard to judge. Making assumptions without evidence might lead us astray. Fortunately, we don't need to worry about that for now. Cousin, the situation has changed from our initial assessment, and the danger level is higher. Can you handle it?"
Chen Chuan replied, "I haven't encountered the entities from the other side, so it's hard to say. Even if Meng Huang can be utilized, there's still a distinction between him and those entities.
As a fighter and a member of the Handling Bureau, I will eventually have to face these entities. This time, we are prepared, and it's on our home ground. This might not be a bad thing; perhaps I can take this opportunity to learn more about them."
Gao Ming trusted Chen Chuan's judgment in such matters, as he was the expert.
Chen Chuan said, "Please help me respond to Meng Shu. Their security system is awaiting my arrival."
"I'll contact them immediately," Gao Ming assured.
At this moment, Chen Chuan also contacted Wu Bei and briefly explained the situation, omitting sensitive information but mentioning the need for technical assistance.
Wu Bei was thrilled, sensing a significant opportunity. He patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, Chen. You can leave all the biofield-related matters to me. I guarantee I'll maintain everything smoothly."
As Chen Chuan finished the call, the Boundary Token above flashed, and Gao Ming sent over an icon resembling a semi-arc surface overlapping with an arc-shaped light, akin to the merging of two planetary surfaces. The front appeared dim, while the back radiated intense light.
This was the company logo of Fusion Boundary.
Chen Chuan focused his gaze on it, and soon, the Fusion Boundary company platform appeared.
He then discovered that his identity had been updated. In addition to being an Enforcement Agent, he now held the title of 'Security Consultant for Fusion Boundary Company.'
He could browse the current security member configuration and composition around Meng Shu, but this also meant that higher-level personnel within the company could access the same information.
No wonder Meng Shu was uneasy; if attacked, these security members could pose a severe threat if they were even slightly uncooperative.
Meng Shu likely had her own hired security team in addition to the company's security, which would be sufficient for regular situations. However, against a Third Limit expert, they could only provide a blocking role.
It hasn't been easy for Meng Shu to hold out until now. It's possible that her grandfather and other internal forces are supporting her, or perhaps Meng Huang is involved.
But when Meng Shu attempts to counterattack and external forces join in, things will change. The Handling Bureau's assessment is correct; this is indeed the most likely time for action.
As he pondered, the Boundary Token suddenly flashed, indicating an incoming contact request.
