Chapter 691: Reporting
After some thought, Chen Chuan looked at Tian Rui, who seemed to have given up on himself, and asked, "Then, Senior Tian, what about the letter you sent a few days ago?"
Tian Rui tugged at his hair and said, "The camp brought news a while ago that the branch was being reorganized, and you took one of them away. They told me to be careful."
But, Supervisor Chen, you know... When I first heard this news, I didn't feel afraid, but instead, I felt genuinely happy and excited. However..."
He looked at his trembling hands, and a blood-red veil seemed to cover his vision.
"I recalled that scene from the past. I don't want you to clash with him again. He's too powerful; you're not his match. The branch will only suffer another slaughter."
Chen Chuan said, "I know that person is strong, but if he has reached a certain level, we won't have a chance to face him directly. If he hasn't reached that level, there's nothing to fear."
"But," Tian Rui suddenly said with some urgency, "even if he doesn't take action himself, you still can't beat him."
Chen Chuan raised his eyes and glanced at him. "Is it because of the Mire Training Camp?"
Tian Rui nodded vigorously.
Chen Chuan calmly said, "The camp itself may not be enough."
As he spoke, Tian Rui felt his breath catch. Although Chen Chuan restrained his spiritual power, at this moment, Tian Rui felt a strong sense of oppression.
This feeling, he seemed to have experienced it before from that person. He couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, but only for a moment. He shook his head, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
"There's a student by the team leader's side. He's a younger brother the team leader once helped. His name is Qi Qianyang, and because of his exceptional talent, the team leader has kept him by his side. We've all met him."
Although he hasn't joined the Pure Sect, we all feel that he will eventually join.
The team leader's student has extraordinary talent, and even the team leader praises him endlessly. He has been with the team leader all this time, and when the team leader came here to see Little Wo, he brought Qi Qianyang several times. He is also one of the two instructors at the Mire Training Camp.
"He came to me not long ago, just three days ago."
He looked up at Chen Chuan, "At that time, he was sitting in the seat you're sitting in now. He's very strong, incredibly strong. He reminded me of the team leader. You..." He shook his head, "You're no match for him."
Chen Chuan didn't confirm or deny his words. He said, "This information is very useful, but regarding how the branch handles this matter, Senior Tian, you don't need to worry. I have one more question. When I found you earlier, Tian Wo seemed very agitated. What's going on? Do you have other enemies?"
"I know a little. Besides Qi Qianyang, the others are okay, but their abilities are quite average."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "There's one more thing. When I found you earlier, Tian Wo seemed very agitated. What's going on? Do you have other enemies?"
Tian Rui suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. "Besides knowing how to fix some things and having these combat skills, I'm not that great. Over the years, I've often helped and sponsored some friends, which has brought me a lot of trouble. My wife and Little Wo don't want me to associate with them, but every time someone asks for help, I can't bring myself to refuse."
As for Little Wo..."
He hesitated, "The people from the training camp often tell him that someone is looking for us, father and son, and he believes them..."
Chen Chuan took a glance and saw him lower his head again. It wasn't hard to guess what he was thinking—he was afraid that the Pure Sect's arrival would be detrimental to Tian Wo, so he silently agreed with this notion.
Chen Chuan didn't comment on this but instead asked some other questions. Once he had a general understanding of the situation, he stood up from his seat.
"Senior Tian, I've recorded your response, and I'll go back and explain the situation to the sect. If there's anything else that needs to be clarified, I'll come back to ask you."
Tian Rui raised his head in disbelief, "You... You're not taking me back?"
Chen Chuan said, "I came today to understand the situation. Although you've done some things that violate the rules, the decision on how to handle this isn't up to me alone. We need to wait for the sect's judgment on this matter, so I'll report it first. Before that, I won't take any action against you.
But I also hope that you won't leave without permission."
Tian Rui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this time I won't run away! It's just that Little Wo..." He trailed off, looking extremely nervous.
Chen Chuan said, "Little Wo's situation is special. Although he seems normal now, it's hard to say for sure. I'm sorry, but this isn't something I can decide on either. However, I can assure you that, at least for now, nothing will be done to him."
He understood that when it came to those existences, one couldn't just judge by appearances. Without a detailed examination, no one could make a definitive conclusion.
Moreover, even if some action had to be taken, one should be fully prepared because it might provoke an extreme reaction from that person. For now, he decided to maintain the status quo and report the situation to the sect before taking any further steps.
After hearing Chen Chuan's words, Tian Rui's expression turned gloomy. He knew that with Chen Chuan having found this place, things would not be as simple as they seemed.
At that moment, a commotion came from the stairs, and a small head popped out, "Dad, is my skateboard fixed yet?"
Tian Rui glanced over, his voice slightly agitated, "Xiaolei, what's going on? Didn't I just tell you not to come down?"
Feeling that his tone was a bit harsh, he added, "Sorry, Xiaolei. I'm not scolding you. I have a guest, and the skateboard will be fixed soon. Just go back, okay?"
Chen Chuan said, "Senior Tian, why don't you spend some time with your son? I'll be leaving now, no need to see me off."
After a brief farewell, Tian Rui declined the offer to be escorted and walked out of the house.
Outside, he immediately spotted Tian Wo sitting on a wooden ladder in the large lawn across the way.
He turned his gaze and walked towards his car.
Tian Wo jumped down from the ladder and walked straight up to him, "Who are you, really?"
Chen Chuan looked at him. No matter what, Tian Wo was currently living as a human, and there were no signs of any abnormalities. He replied, "Regarding this matter, your father will tell you about it."
Tian Wo stared at him intently, "No matter who you are, I don't welcome you disrupting our family's life. Even though I can't beat you now, don't get too happy. I will definitely win against you."
Chen Chuan observed his unyielding gaze. Putting aside the boy's original background, his natural talent was indeed remarkable. However, his skills were quite average, and it seemed he hadn't received systematic training, unable to fully utilize his potential.
It appeared that Tian Rui hadn't taught him properly, and the so-called father hadn't either, probably to avoid drawing attention to him.
However, if he could identify what he lacked and work to make up for it, his combat capabilities would likely surpass what they currently witnessed.
Chen Chuan said, "I look forward to it."
In the 16th district, a book was read without error in the bar!
After saying this, he opened the car door and got in. The car started quickly and drove out, disappearing into the slightly glaring afternoon sunlight under Tian Wo's watchful eyes.
After driving out, Chen Chuan looked to the side and once again spotted Liu Yin's figure. He was talking to someone on the side of the road and occasionally glancing towards the direction of the road. When he saw Chen Chuan's car, he waved.
Chen Chuan's car slowed down, and the window was lowered. Liu Yin approached, "Supervisor Chen, are you leaving?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Liu Yin spoke faster, "I might be joining the Processing Bureau next month."
Chen Chuan was aware that the most outstanding members of these fighting families would join the Processing Bureau. Many within the bureau were from such backgrounds, like Ni Qianxi.
This group had significant influence within the bureau. People like Cheng Shang held positions as department advisors, possessing both authority and deep connections in the military and Wu Yi Academy.
Chen Chuan said, "Congratulations. It seems we'll be colleagues soon."
Liu Yin sighed, "But the path I'm taking is one they've planned for me. My grandfather and uncle both took this path. It's a good path, but I can see my life's end from the start. So, I don't want to follow their envisioned route."
Chen Chuan said, "I have a small team. Are you interested?"
Liu Yin asked in surprise, "Really?"
Chen Chuan replied, "As long as your elders don't object."
Liu Yin said, "They won't. Although they have plans for me, they've said that my talents surpass theirs, and they respect my wishes. Moreover, if I were to follow Supervisor Chen, they would be even less likely to stop me."
He looked at Chen Chuan sitting there. Although this path deviated from the predetermined route, he felt it held more promise.
Chen Chuan said, "Liu, once you're in the bureau, just submit a report directly to me."
"Yes, sir!" Liu Yin saluted, imitating the gesture of a senior.
The car window slowly rose, and the car started again, driving out along the road.
After leaving the residential area, Chen Chuan returned to the temporary apartment where his team was staying. He found Chang Dong and Gao Yanjun and briefed them on the situation.
Chang Dong sighed after listening, "So, that's what happened initially, but..." He furrowed his brows, "There are still some doubts and uncertainties."
Chen Chuan said, "According to Tian Rui's account, he wasn't involved in the encirclement and suppression of that target, and since he wasn't a core member at the time, he wasn't aware of many things."
Chang Dong said, "Regardless, we need to report what we've learned about Tian Rui and wait for instructions from above."
