Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 355 Internal and External Affairs (Happy New Year's Eve!)

When the Gard car was driving back, Chen Chuan deliberately turned to the original site of the Molan Building, and found that this place had indeed become the location of Yuan'an Company.

As an arms company, Yuan'an's security capabilities are also very strong. It has a more elite security force than the Molan Company. Armed patrol cars pass by from time to time, and there are transport vehicles and armed vehicles parked in the square, ready to be dispatched at any time.

However, unlike Yuan'an Company and Molan Company, this seems to be just a company base. It has no industries or factories near the city, and it does not deal with senior officials in the city.

The main thing to do is to maintain the Yuanwang Port in the east and the construction of the northern railway, as if they were preparing for something.

After leaving here, he went to the telegraph office and sent a telegram to He Xiaoxing.

Because He Xiaoxing had told him in a previous telegram contact that in addition to the breathing method, the Drying Furnace Breathing Method also had a set of application methods, but only fighters at the third level could master it, and he had now reached this limit, so he decided to ask again to see if he could learn this set of methods.

After coming out, he returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw two little guys lying on the sofa, holding their cheeks, and competing with a cross chess piece he brought back.

Chao Ming was lying on the sofa, seemingly also watching the chess game. When he saw him come in, he immediately raised his body, chirped, flapped his wings, jumped down from the sofa, walked all the way to his side, and climbed onto his shoulder.

Chen Chuan walked to the phone and saw a crooked note next to it that said, "Brother Ding Jiao, call me at three o'clock." He smiled, knowing that it was written by his cousin Nian Lu. Although Nian Mo was also very smart, he was more playful and could not write the complete words.

So he picked up the phone and called back. As soon as Ding Jiao answered, he immediately said that he had called everyone and they would have a good time together tomorrow and go boating and watch a movie.

He agreed.

Since it's a holiday, just relax.

He felt that after he returned to the central city, he would not have such relaxing and leisure time for a long time.

Just as he hung up the phone and was about to leave, it rang again. He picked it up and asked, and a cheerful voice came from the other end.

"Junior? I heard you're back?"

Chen Chuan laughed, "Brother Wei? Yes, I just came back yesterday."

Wei Changan said, "Junior, you didn't even tell me you were coming back. Brother Wei should have treated you to a meal. Are you being so formal with Brother Wei?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Of course not. I was just thinking of looking for Brother Wei and the people from the original team. I wanted to invite you all to get together."

Wei Changan said, "This is easy. After you go to the central city, we will often meet each other and sometimes work together to do commissions. Just leave it to me, Brother Wei. I'll talk to you when we're all here."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Okay, I'll leave it to Brother Wei then."

After chatting with Wei Changan for a few more words, he hung up the phone, went to his room, took out the sedative he needed to take, swallowed it, practiced breathing techniques for a while, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Then he took out the book "Zhu Yi Kao" from his suitcase and slowly flipped through it while sitting on the bed.

After he restrained his aura, he no longer had that captivating feeling, but his spirit became more outstanding and his mind seemed to become more agile than before.

Because there is no border to check, I can only read the book in vertical version. But after reading it for a while, I gradually got used to it, and it seems that reading it this way seems to have more meaning.

Most of the content here talks about how to fight against strange visions. The things that many people encounter are extremely bizarre and it is spooky to read, and it can make people feel cold in their hearts even on a hot day.

But some people are very interesting.

For example, there was a strange man named Liu Cai, and he particularly liked to read his stories. This man was very sleepy and even practiced martial arts in his sleep. Sometimes his hands and feet would move spontaneously, and he would even walk out of the house at night. Therefore, most of the visions he saw were when he was half asleep and half awake.

One time, when he was half asleep, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the house, as if someone was stealing, but he was sleeping and was too lazy to pay attention.

However, someone shouted in his ear that there was a fire in the house, and there was a red area behind him. He seemed to smell a burning smell. He shouted, "It's my father who is cooked, what does it have to do with you?" Then he went back to sleep.

When he woke up, the fire was not started, which showed that all the things in the house had been moved out. However, he just laughed it off and didn't care at all.

Another time, not long after he lay down, he felt someone caressing his body with cool hands, and it seemed that someone was whispering tenderly in his ear. But his wife had died long ago and he never remarried, and his servants had long been dismissed, so where did this person come from?
However, when he woke up, he found the door wide open and traces of a large snake swimming on the ground. He smiled and bowed to the outside, "Thank you for not eating."

Another time, when he was fast asleep, he suddenly felt himself floating above the clouds. He saw wine, delicious food and beautiful women in front of him. He only needed to reach out to get them, but he was too lazy to do so. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the edge of a cliff on the top of the mountain without knowing when. If he had reached out his hand at that time, he would have fallen down.

Liu Cai was a truly open-minded and optimistic person. The imperial family invited him to co-write the book after hearing his reputation. Participating in the compilation of a book is not a good job, because the compiler often has various visions in front of his eyes when recalling, and some people will see the differences seen by others when reading other people's records.

These strange phenomena seemed to entangle and attract each other, causing the compilers to become insane or die suddenly. However, Liu Cai was one of the few people who had a record in the strange studies and was able to survive.

Looking at what he did, he had no worries in his mind and didn't care about anything. That's how he avoided these external disturbances one by one.

Chen Chuan thought about himself. Although he had already calmed down his mind and the external visions might have decreased as a result, as long as he wanted to make progress, they would definitely happen again.

And he found that currently this thing will only pop up when there are major changes in his emotions, so it can be controlled and avoided, but you can't be too deliberate about it, because the more you pay attention to it, the more likely it is to be stimulated.

Another thing is that you must remain absolutely calm when fighting with others, so that you will not be disturbed when facing a strong enemy.

As they were flipping through the book, it was getting dark. Nian Fuli came back from the police station. Yu Wan noticed that he was not in a good mood. She waved to Nian Mo and Nian Lu to go out and play, and came up to ask with concern: "Nian Laonian, what's wrong?"

Nian Fuli took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, then said, "The new driving instructor is arguing with Director Guan again."

"Then it has nothing to do with you, old man?" Yu Wan asked with concern.

Nian Fuli said, "Since he is in the bureau, how can he avoid it? This instructor Che has come to me twice. Even Wei Lao Hu and other captains have been called in for private talks. He openly or secretly wants people to support him."

Yu Wan was surprised and said, "This instructor has only been here for a few months, will anyone listen to him?"

Nian Fuli took another drag of his cigarette, exhaled a long time, and said, "This driving instructor has methods. He will first assess the patrol officers. If they fail once, their salary will be deducted. If they fail twice, they will be punished within the bureau. If they fail three times, they will be fired. But whether they pass or not is not up to him. Does he have the final say? Now many patrol officers can't stand it and have moved over."

Yu Wan was a little puzzled: "Does he have the power to fire patrol officers?" The police bureau is very united internally. If the director, deputy director and captains do not agree, this cannot be done.

Nian Fuli said: "Kai Ge doesn't have the ability now, but he can send people to the surrounding counties and towns. Deputy Director Shang cooperates with him in this matter."

Chen Chuan walked out of the room at this time. When he heard this, he suddenly thought that this move was very powerful.

There are only some simple members of the Public Security Bureau in the surrounding counties and towns, and those people are hoping to be transferred to the Patrol Bureau of Yangzhi City. If they go there, both the salary and status will be much lower, and they will be sent away. Ordinary patrol officers really cannot accept such a difference in treatment.

Nian Fuli continued, "When this instructor came to take up his post, he brought a team of people with him. He has now assigned these people to serve as squad instructors, saying that he wants to improve the patrol officers' combat capabilities. Although this is within his authority, everyone can see that he wants to do his own thing."

Yu Wan was a little worried. She asked, "Then the Bureau of Customs won't take care of it?"

"Director Guan," Nian Fuli shook his head. "Director Guan is actually quite capable and considerate of his subordinates, but he is too upright and often cannot be ruthless at critical moments. If the old company commander was here, he would not be like this and would have pushed the matter back long ago. Even if Che is a good fighter, he can't stir up any trouble."

Although his old company commander was ruthless, he attached great importance to the interests of the police station and would never allow others to interfere in his business.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Director Guan probably doesn't want to ruin the relationship. After all, important people in the bureau still need the protection of this instructor. But Instructor Wen was transferred away, and this instructor was sent here. The higher-ups may want this instructor to do something."

“Xiao Chuan sees through it.” Nian Fuli patted his thigh, “They just want to deal with those villages outside the city.

Have there been members of the resistance group there? Of course there have been, but this has been going on for more than a year or two. The villagers have no one to protect them. Facing robbers and armed groups, what else can they do if they don't build a village to protect themselves? If decent people can live a stable life, who would go out to fight and kill?

It is not fair to deal with the villagers instead of killing the bandits and armed groups."

At this time, he took another deep breath. "The bureau has an operation the day after tomorrow. It's to wipe out a village outside the city where members of a resistance organization are suspected to be hiding. They originally planned to let me lead the team."

"What happened next?" Yu Wan asked anxiously.

Nian Fuli seemed a little confused about this, frowning and saying, "I don't know what happened later, but Che found me in the afternoon, and his attitude was a little more polite than usual. He said that someone else had been arranged for this matter, and asked me not to go. Well, it's best not to go. I don't want to get involved in such a conscience-breaking matter."

As they were talking, someone banged on the door outside and said loudly, "New Year, someone from the bureau is here."

Nian Fuli cursed, "Who is it? Why are you here at this time..." He walked out, said a few words outside, and walked back with a strange look on his face. He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "The man named Che is here. He said... he wants to see Xiao Chuan."
