Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 219 Meeting
After Chen Chuan finished his call with Director Lei, he thought about it and did not go back to school directly. Instead, he went back to his aunt's house first.

Because it was a holiday, the whole family was there. When they were having dinner together in the evening, Nian Fuli suddenly said, "Xiao Chuan, do you have a team and often have dinner at the Duyi Hotel?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Not often, I've only been there twice."

Nian Fuli solemnly reminded: "Then don't go to eat near there recently."

"What's wrong?" Yu Wan asked with concern.

Nian Fuli put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the two people. "Recently, a bomb was found in the Duyi Hotel."

"Bomb?" Yu Wan was startled.
Nian Fuli sighed and said, "Not only in the Duyi Hotel, but also in some other places around the city center. One was very close to the Municipal Conference Hall. It should have been made by the resistance organization. Although all of them were found in time, we are still worried about the possibility.

Recently, officials from various companies and enterprises as well as some officials from other cities came to hold a meeting. They asked us to increase our vigilance. It seems that the resistance organization is targeting this, and they will not stop their actions in the near future.

Yu Wan looked at Chen Chuan, her eyes full of worry, "Chan'er..."

Chen Chuan immediately said, "Aunt and uncle, don't worry, I won't be going there for the time being."

Nian Fuli said: "That's good. Instead of being on guard, it's better to avoid it. If you can avoid it, don't go."

Chen Chuan thought again, combining his previous inferences with the idea that the resistance organization's act of placing the bomb was most likely just to attract the attention of the Police Bureau to make it easier for them to do their work.

The resistance organization has used this tactic before, and it has always worked, because even if the Government Affairs Department and the Police Bureau know that you are trying to attract attention, they have to increase security there. Not to mention that the incident happened in the city center. The Executive Conference Building, where all parties gather for meetings, is a top priority, so it must be strictly checked.

After dinner, he stayed at his aunt's house for one night and returned to college the next day.

He walked around Chunqiu Lake, slowly guiding his breathing techniques, and after finishing, he went to the training hall of the military department to practice swordsmanship.

Every time he came here for training, a senior student from the combat department would come to spar with him, and he would welcome it very much. Every time he competed with students using various weapons, he also gained a lot of experience in fighting against such weapons.

Although the most common weapons encountered outside are actually guns, once you come face to face with a fighter, it will most likely be a fight and collision between weapons.

With a "snap", the wooden stick broke as it could no longer withstand the force. A senior student on the opposite side put down the half of the stick with regret, clasped his fists to him, and said, "Xiaoxue brother Chen, sorry to bother you."

Chen Chuan also clasped his fists and returned the greeting.

The senior student took two steps and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chen, how did you control your strength just right?"

Chen Chuan thought to himself, isn't it the same when a strong person beats a weak person? He said solemnly, "I think the only way is to practice hard."

The senior student thought about it, nodded in agreement, and murmured, "We haven't practiced enough. We need to practice more when we go back." He then said, "Thank you, junior." Then he threw away the short stick and strode away.

The students who had been watching the fight between the two men also bowed to Chen Chuan, left with admiration and excitement, and went back to training.

After Chen Chuan and others left, they went to a single training room and practiced throwing techniques alone.

When this type of method is used in his hands, it is more useful than firearms at short distances. One reason is that it is fast and concealed, and the other is that it does not make much noise, which can make up for the lack of long-range methods.

After practicing for a whole morning, he returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and was about to go to the cafeteria to eat when the phone on the desk rang and he picked it up.

Director Lei's voice came from the other side, saying, "Student Chen? I'm Lei Guangcheng. After talking to you yesterday, I have sent someone to secretly check Xieshan, and nothing unusual has been found so far."

"Isn't it there?"

Chen Chuan was a little surprised.

Director Lei said, "No, I think your inference is correct, but the expression of esoteric rituals does not necessarily have to be visible. For example, some materials produced in the central city can do it.

With the advancement of technology, some traditional ritual materials are being replaced, which is even more difficult to prevent. Fortunately, these materials are scarce and the ones that can be used in the field should be very limited. "

Chen Chuan asked: "Director Lei, is there a secret sect in the central city?"

Director Lei said in a deep voice: "It should be said that places like the Central City are the hotbeds of the esoteric cult. Every class can get comfort, needs and even benefits from them. All we can do is contain them, but we cannot eliminate them."

Chen Chuan hummed.

"I'm calling you today to tell you something. This matter is quite complex and cannot be solved by the Esoteric Cult Review Bureau alone. So there will be a meeting in two days. Colleagues from other departments will come together to discuss this matter. I hope you can come and attend."

Chen Chuan said decisively: "Okay, Director Lei, I will be there."

"Okay, I'll let you know the exact location. By the way, your Wuyi College alumni woke up yesterday and will slowly recover. The people in her group, even the fighters, are still in a coma. She is lucky." Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Lei."

Director Lei said, "You're welcome. Wait for my notice."

After the call ended, Chen Chuan put down the phone and called Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan to go to the cafeteria for lunch. After returning, he took a short rest and prepared to continue the afternoon training. However, he received a call from Cheng Zitong, telling him: "Xiao Chuan, the new Minister Zhu Minzheng wants to see you."

"see me?"

Chen Chuan was slightly surprised and asked, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

Cheng Zitong said: "He signed your application form before. As the new director of civil affairs, I guess he might want to show his goodwill to Wuyi College through you."

Chen Chuan thought about it, and vaguely guessed one of the possibilities, so he asked: "Teacher, when?"

Cheng Zitong said, "The new Chief Zhu is very polite. He said he knows you're training hard and doesn't ask for a specific time. I think, whether he's sincere or not, he's doing enough on the surface. So we can't make him wait any longer. Besides, if this matter is resolved sooner, you'll have less attention and you can focus on your training."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Teacher, what you said makes sense. If that's the case, then let's do it now. We have time."

Cheng Zitong said, "Okay, then the teacher will drive you there and we'll be downstairs at the dormitory in a while."

After Chen Chuan hung up the phone, he went back to wash his face, changed into formal clothes, and walked out of the dormitory building. When he got outside, Cheng Zitong just arrived. He walked up quickly, opened the door and got in.

Cheng Zitong drove out of the school gate and headed south along the avenue. In less than 20 minutes, he arrived in front of the city hall administration building in the south of the city. He said, "Xiao Chuan, go in. I called before. Someone will greet you when you go in."

Chen Chuan nodded, got out of the car, walked over and talked to the security personnel in front of the door. Soon, a staff member from the Government Affairs Office came out and politely took him into the administrative building.

Cheng Zitong waited in the car. About half an hour later, he saw Chen Chuan coming out. When Chen Chuan got into the car, he asked, "Have you met?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

"What did he say to you? Did he give you any trouble?"

Chen Chuanshuo said, "That's not the case. The civil affairs director was just as the teacher said. He was very friendly and had no airs. After meeting, he asked about the students' lives. After learning that the application form for the central city had been submitted, he also encouraged the students. He didn't say anything else. It seemed that he just wanted to meet the students."

Cheng Zitong said: "You can tell his attitude after just one meeting. What he says is really not that important."

The actions of politicians are not meaningless. They always convey some information to the outside world in disguised form. Even if they don’t think much about it, they will consider in advance the possible repercussions and consequences of doing something.

Chen Chuan looked towards the administrative building. Although Chief Zhu did not mention anything extra during this meeting, he could feel that the purpose of this person looking for him was probably related to that incident.

At this time, the vehicle under him restarted and returned along the avenue towards Wuyi College.

In the office of the Civil Affairs Chief, Zhu Xian was looking at the map of Yangzhi City. As the newly appointed Civil Affairs Chief, he was extremely wary of the resistance organizations and esoteric cult organizations that had been causing trouble in Yangzhi City for a long time.

And through the reports below, he knew that this time he could probably catch these people, and if he could get rid of them in one fell swoop, it would undoubtedly be a very impressive achievement, enough to establish his prestige in Yangzhi and successfully gain a foothold.

But at the same time, if he fails this time, it will also be disadvantageous to him, so he cannot express his opinion openly.

The reason he met Chen Chuan this time was because he knew that Chen Chuan was one of the participants in this event. This way, on the surface, he was just showing concern for Wu Yi's outstanding student and at the same time showing goodwill to Wu Yi, and nothing would be involved.

And if the target is successfully eliminated this time, it will undoubtedly highlight his foresight. Through some clever propaganda, others will think that the success was achieved with his arrangement and encouragement. Even if it fails, as long as it is downplayed, he will not be implicated and he will not lose out in any case.

However, this student gave him a different feeling.

Recalling the time when Chen Chuan stood calmly in front of him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

How should I put it? Generally, teenage students would feel unnatural and nervous when they saw him. That was because of the difference in level caused by their identity and status.

But not only did this student remain calm throughout the whole process, but his peaceful eyes always gave him an indescribable sense of oppression, which made him unconsciously recall the scene when he faced Wen Tong on the train that day.

It was as if my life no longer belonged to me at that time.

He secretly decided that he should stay as far away from these fighters as possible in the future and not let such people get too close.
