Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 389 After the War
Outside Lulan Lake, the sky was gradually brightening, and the off-road vehicle that reporter Hu Ying was riding in was able to follow the traces and chase to this vicinity.

When passing by the area where the two men had just fought, he was amazed at the exaggerated scene of destruction and immediately took a lot of photos.

Here he also saw a weapon broken into two parts stuck in the ground, but the two people fighting were nowhere to be seen. He followed the destroyed path and searched all the way to the shore of the lake, where he had to stop the car.

At this time, the lake breeze blew, shaking the reeds and making a rustling sound. Hu Ying stood in the car and looked around. He said to Jie Ping: "We are moving along the battle traces of the two fighters, and this direction points to the lake ahead. Could it be..."

As he was speaking, suddenly ripples appeared on the water surface not far ahead, and then a figure slowly walked out of it, which made him pause for a moment.

Chen Chuan walked out of the lake step by step, holding the Xuejun Knife in one hand and Xu Xianwen's head in the other.

As he moved toward the lakeshore, the moisture on his body gradually evaporated, and wisps of white mist rose from the surface of his body.

At this time, the morning glow was floating in the sky, and the morning light shone on the lake, covering half of his body, while on the lake behind him, the fog was slowly dissipating.

Hu Ying felt his whole body tremble at this moment, watching this scene with shock. Not only him, but also the people watching through his realm at this moment almost ignored everything around them, watching this scene without blinking.

At this time, the sound of propellers was heard in the sky. A small airship from the Processing Bureau was flying towards here, and at the same time, a number of armed vehicles were also gathering here.

Chen Chuan stepped on the ground at this time. His clothes had been steamed dry. He looked up and saw a group of migratory birds flying south in the sky.

Hu Ying was startled at this moment and came to his senses. He wanted to run over to Chen Chuan for an interview, but for some reason, his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move at all. Even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't speak.

He roared in his heart and wanted to move forward, but his face turned red and his body was out of control.

At this moment, the footsteps behind him became more and more frequent. He felt someone put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Reporter Hu, please leave. The next part is the work of our processing bureau, which is inconvenient to disclose."

At this time, he found that he could speak, and said: "I am a reporter, I have an interview..."

But once someone grabbed some part of his body, he immediately became speechless and was taken away from the scene by the back of his neck.

"Executive Officer Chen!"

When the personnel from the processing bureau saw Chen Chuan, an investigator immediately ran up to him, looked him up and down, and said, "Executive Chen, are you okay?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the head in his hand.

Chen Chuan said, "I'm fine." He remembered that Xu Xianwen was still a wanted criminal by the Bureau, so he handed his head over and said, "This is Xu Xianwen, you can take him back."

"Oh, oh! Very good..."

The team member quickly held Xu Xianwen's head with both hands.

Chen Chuan walked forward and came to the place where the two men had just fought. He picked up the gun and stick that were broken into two parts on the ground. This was the most collectible trophy so far.

This thing is broken, but it should be repairable.

The bureau has this service. Although the broken ones are more commemorative, since they are going to be placed in the collection room in the future, they must at least remain intact on the surface.

At this time, the small airship in the sky gradually approached. After it reached the sky, a soft ladder was lowered from it. Team Guan came down from it and landed on the ground.

He first assigned tasks, asked the team members to control the scene and drive away some irrelevant personnel, then walked up and said, "Executive Chen, thank you for your hard work. I will report your contribution to the bureau truthfully."

Chen Chuan thanked him and asked, "Captain Guan, how is it going over at Motie Mountain?"

Captain Guan said, "Don't worry, we have people guarding there, and the security of Motie Mountain has taken over the defense of the surrounding area. Even if the entire Viper Group comes again, they can't rush in."

Chen Chuanshuo said, "That's good, Captain Guan, I have dealt with everything here. According to the task assigned by the bureau, I need to go back now."

Captain Guan said solemnly: "Business is more important. I will send you a car right away."

"Thank you, Captain Guan."

On the other side of Lulan Lake, two people stood on a thick tree trunk and looked at them from afar. One of them was a 30-year-old strong man wearing a processing bureau uniform and said, "It seems that we don't need to show up."

The other person was a young man in his early twenties, but he didn't give any face at all, "You said it as if you, Lao Wan, can beat Xu Xianwen if you go up there."

The sturdy man called Lao Wan was not angry after hearing this, "Don't we still have you, Xiao Lu? With you, we can handle it."

Xiao Lu said, "That's not necessarily true. All those trained by Mishe are good at swimming. If Xu Xianwen were to flee into the water like what happened before, who could catch him? Who is sure of catching him?"

He sighed again and said, "This young man Chen is really brave. If I had chased him there, I would have definitely given up. How could I dare to go into the water like him?" Lao Wan said, "The people that the bureau is vigorously cultivating are different after all."

Xiao Lu said: "We fighters speak with strength. He has this strength, so he deserves these benefits. I am convinced."

On the other side, Chen Chuan took the car used to handle the investigation and returned to the Meng's Manor. The security team members were still holding on to their original positions. The previous Viper Team members were either shot dead or arrested. As he came up, these people suppressed their excitement and saluted him one after another.

He nodded in response and walked to the entrance of the basement. He used the backup realm credential to contact the inside and said, "The attacker has been dealt with. You can come out now."

After saying this, he gave another code word.

This was the secret code he and Meng Shu had agreed upon, because the information transmitted by the boundary could be forged, and only in this way could it be truly confirmed.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of a metal door being pushed inside.

As if because of his attention, the hair above his brow twitched slightly at this moment, and he was able to sense the situation of everyone behind the wall invisibly. Except for Meng Shu who seemed to be wearing something and felt very erratic, everyone else could be easily observed.

This is an ability that appeared during the battle with Xu Xianwen. It seems to be a kind of mental induction, but it is very likely an ability that a third-level fighter already possesses.

At this time, the door was pushed open from the inside, and Meng Shu and Yan Yi walked out under the protection of three female security guards. Because Jie Ping had always maintained external contacts, they already knew the result of Xu Xianwen's murder. But even so, they still abided by the agreement and did not come out of the basement.

Yan Yi believes that since a plan has been made, it needs to be executed according to the plan, and this is the best way to avoid accidents. Many failures often occur when they are closest to success.

Meng Shu agreed with this. She was always open to correct suggestions. At this moment, she looked at Chen Chuan and said seriously, "Thank you."

Chen Chuan smiled slightly and said, "It's my duty."

Yan Yi said at this time: "Miss, Mr. Chen, let's go to the living room to talk." Meng Shu nodded slightly.

When the group arrived in the living room, the three female security guards retreated outside. Yan Yi said, "Mr. Chen, from the information we have learned, the Viper Group should be the strongest force in Meng Huang's hands. Now that they have been eliminated by you, Meng Huang has no ability to threaten us for the time being, and the situation is beginning to be favorable to us."

On the surface, the Viper Group has nothing to do with Meng Huang, and there is not even any evidence of connection, but everyone knows that this team was sent by him. However, being eliminated this time is undoubtedly a heavy blow to them.

Other onlookers would think, if the greatest force under your command can be eliminated by Meng Shu, then can Meng Shu also use this to eliminate Meng Huang next?
And how many people would stay by the side of a man who might even lose his own life?

Even without considering these, if Meng Shu was not killed, it means that she is capable of protecting herself. Then the battle for succession is still undecided, so there is no need to bet on which side to stand on now. They can just wait and see.

At this moment, there was some movement on Yan Yi's side. She looked for a while, smiled and said to Meng Shu: "Miss, it's some people from the Meng family. They are trying to show their favor to you."

Meng Shu said: "Then help me reply to them."

Yan Yi said, "Of course, they are still useful now." She looked at Chen Chuan, "Of course, all this depends on Mr. Chen's force."

Ultimately, all of this comes from the deterrence of force.

Possessing military force is equivalent to having power and the right to speak.

She felt that her decision to invite Chen Chuan was absolutely correct. She was really glad that such a fighting master was a classmate of the young lady, so she was able to invite him over.

However, Chen Chuan knew that things might not be that simple. If Meng Huang was really communicating with someone on the other side behind the scenes, then this matter would not be so easy to end.

However, the bureau assigned him the responsibility of security here, so he would not do anything else unnecessary unless further instructions were given.

Meng Shu said at this time: "Sister Yan, those who are responsible for defense today should be rewarded if they deserve it, and promoted if they deserve it."

Yan Yi said, "Miss, I'll do it right away." She could naturally think of this matter, but when Meng Shu said it, the meaning was different.

Meng Shu looked at Chen Chuanchu again and said, "I remember you recruited some companions to help this time? I hope I can thank them as well."

Chen Chuan nodded and said okay.

Meng Shu immediately used her business ID to transfer a sum of money to Chen Chuan's account. As for Chen Chuan himself, she would also give him a large bonus in the name of the company. This was the remuneration he deserved as a security consultant, but that need not be discussed further.
