Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 701: Enterprising
On the seawall of Jiyang District, Manager Wen sat in an armored vehicle, looking at the White Bird District in the distance and the airships passing above.

These past few days, he has been staring here without sleep.

The large companies and branches of giant enterprises in the central city usually have mature and active consciousnesses that can directly open up channels to the intersection area.

Of course, when doing such things, approval must be obtained from the central city, so in theory no matter which channel you take, it is under the control and supervision of the central city.

The problem is that within the central city, in addition to the Government Affairs Hall, the Municipal Council also has certain powers. This is a legacy issue from the early days of the establishment of Dashun.

Of course, in Jibei Province, new regulations are being promoted. Once passed, they will try to gradually take over and remove some of the powers of the Municipal Council. However, the Municipal Council will not sit idly by and watch its power being taken away, so it is also trying to fight back. Many of the situations that have emerged today can be seen as a continuation of the confrontation between the two sides.

Supervisor Wen knew that the people from the Federation must have entered the Blending Area from the passage controlled by the Parliament. If the Federation and the Linax delegation really cooperated, it would mean that they could also use the passage here.

Although the municipal council cannot do this blatantly due to the apparent order, it is entirely possible to slip in one or two people each time.

And he was sure that as long as he relaxed a little, regardless of whether the two parties cooperated or not, a large number of people would be "accidentally" missed because the monitoring channel was lost.

So during this period of time, he conducted random checks on the personnel of the Dolinax Federation every day, tracked the whereabouts of every key personnel, and kept an eye on all airships traveling across the sea.

It's not that these people didn't try to deal with him. From the very beginning, they kept complaining and protesting against him, refusing to cooperate at every turn, or simply delaying, and from time to time they used legal means to complain and sue him.

However, he is also an experienced investigation supervisor. Every step he takes is in accordance with procedures, and every matter is recorded in compliance with regulations. So far, no one has been able to catch him.

Thanks to these compliant operations and the fact that he was dealing with the Linax Federation, the Processing Bureau and the Government Affairs Office helped him withstand the pressure and prevented anyone from interfering with him.

Therefore, as long as he is willing to hold on here, it will be difficult for the opponent to do anything to him.

But he also knew that now even Director Wu was being questioned, so there would definitely be some smear campaign or other operations against him in the future. It was a matter of sooner or later, and it might have even started now.

"Supervisor." A young team member knocked on the car window. He was holding a briefcase in his hand.

Manager Wen took a look and motioned for the other party to come in and talk. He asked the young man to open the door and get in. He then took the briefcase, took out a translated message from it, handed it to him, and whispered, "The other side's reply."

Director Wen's expression became serious. He took the message from the secret department. He took a look and confirmed that there was indeed news proving that the Linax Federation and the Consortium were joining forces.

He thought about it. Although the situation in the past few days seemed to be the same as usual, he could feel that the pressure was getting heavier and heavier. The staff under him had been replaced several times.

Once the opponent makes a move, he may be able to block it, but there is a high possibility that some loopholes will appear. Although this cannot be said to be a complete failure, a lot of efforts will be in vain. Moreover, it is indeed not a good strategy to always passively defend and wait for others to attack.

He said: "Xiao Shao, I have a task for you."

The young man looked serious and sat up straight, "Boss, please give me your instructions."

Supervisor Wen nodded and sent him a document that had been prepared long ago. "According to the arrangements above, remember, don't act on your own. No matter what news you hear, you must be determined and don't panic."

The young man said solemnly, "I understand."

"Well, you go back first."

The young man saluted and said, "Then I'll leave first." Then he opened the door and walked away with his briefcase.

Manager Wen thought for a long time in the car, then he got out and came to the seawall, looking at the rolling waves. After standing there for more than half an hour, he reached out for the barrier and contacted Manager Han.

After a while, the call was connected.

"I'm Han Fu."

Manager Wen smiled and said, "Manager Han, hey, I've been thinking about it recently and I think I can accept your proposal, so I want to ask, what are you going to do?"

The other party did not answer immediately. After waiting for a while, he saw a map of the intersection passage sent from the boundary.

Director Han's voice was heard shortly afterwards: "This route is the most likely passage for Linax Federation personnel to take, according to my analysis."

Director Wen took a look and asked, "The underground passage in the White Bird District?" He nodded and said, "It's very likely. Well, if you let me relax supervision, they will definitely be on guard. Director Han, do you have any good ideas?"

Director Han said: “Things have to happen naturally, Director Wen doesn’t need to take the initiative to relax supervision, just wait for them to fight back, I think this will happen in a short time.

Director Wen, you can go with the flow and give them a chance first, then we will focus our efforts on attacking them and try to cripple the Linax Federation in one fell swoop!" Director Wen was a little excited when he heard this, and he said, "The plan is feasible... but it also requires the Linax Federation to cooperate. If they don't send enough people, it will probably be just thunder with little rain."

"So you can't give them too much time to think and prepare, Director Wen. It's best to wait until they make a move against you, then act as if you can get away soon. This way you can force them to make a decision as soon as possible."

"That makes sense." Director Wen nodded. "This way, even though they know there are risks, they will still give it a try."

Manager Han said, "Because if we delay for a day, the hope of recovering the lost items will decrease."

Manager Wen then asked a question: "Manager Han, how many people can you mobilize?"

"I have more than half of my staff. If there are more, they will be easily discovered. I have been repeatedly transferring staff these days and have been preparing for this."

Director Wen nodded silently, and then he said, "But if you want to succeed, you really need to rely on the accuracy of the intelligence. I don't think I need to explain this, Director Han, you understand it."

Manager Han said, "I can responsibly say that I have inside information. Even if we don't get the person, it won't delay anything. I think Manager Wen won't care too much about it."

"Of course I'll go if I have the chance."

Manager Wen raised his head and said in a strong voice, "Okay, it's settled then."

After ending the call, Manager Wen looked at the surging sea in front of him. As long as he made up his mind, he would definitely work towards his goal, so after thinking it over in his mind, he returned to the car and began to think about how to arrange and deploy personnel without attracting the other party's attention.

We cannot mobilize too many people. If the scale is too large, the information will be difficult to conceal, and it may not play a big role. This time, elite personnel are needed to play a role at the critical moment, and it is best if they have never appeared before.

The reinforcements sent from other central cities could indeed be used. Some of them were beyond his expectations and were indeed rare strong players.

He looked outside again, prepared to stay here for the next few days, waiting for the other party to make a move.

However, the attacks on him came faster than expected. Only half a day later, the Government Affairs Office and the Processing Bureau showed photos and documents of his private transactions with Linax Federation personnel, as well as relevant recordings and witnesses. Even one of Director Wen's subordinates stood up to testify against him.

This time the commotion was quite big. Although they knew that this might have been done intentionally by the other party, there was a lot of evidence and the handling bureau could not turn a blind eye to it, so they immediately called him back for confrontation and questioning.

His tasks were naturally handed over to others, but everyone knew that without his strength and prestige, they would hardly be of much use.

But just half a day later, news came out that a lot of these evidences were proven to be forged, so it might not be long before he would return to his original position.

And during this period of time, in some invisible places, many undercurrents were surging silently.

October 5, 7:20 p.m.

Manager Wen was sitting in his office with his eyes closed, as if waiting for something. In fact, he had gotten rid of the trouble at noon today and could have returned to the team, but he did not move and remained here.

At 30 minutes past midnight, a reminder tone suddenly sounded in the world. After he answered the call, Director Han's voice sounded:
"According to internal information, two teams of federal personnel may have crossed through the passage at around 11:30 and 2:00 in the morning respectively."

Manager Wen didn't ask any more questions, nor did he ask how he got the news. Instead, he said decisively, "Okay, I'll get ready to leave now."

He stood up, picked up his weapon, walked out of the office, and went directly to the internal elevator. He clicked on it, and the elevator slowly sank down.

He knew that many people would be watching him at this time, so this time he took the intersection passage inside the Bureau. After arriving at the intersection, he took the train there and went around to the opposite exit to meet up with Director Han, and together they would encircle and suppress the federal personnel coming out of there!

After a while, the elevator reached the bottom and the door slowly opened. He walked out. On both sides stood members of the processing bureau who had been arranged long ago. When they saw him come out, they all saluted.

After Supervisor Wen stood still, he also raised his hand to salute with a solemn expression. After putting it down, he strode forward. With every step he took, members on both sides immediately turned around and followed him. The entire underground passage was filled with the sound of neat footsteps.

On the tracks ahead, there is already a train waiting for the intersection.

Manager Wen led the team onto the train. After sitting down inside, he pondered for a moment, clicked on the lower world pass, and found Chen Chuan's contact signal. He seemed to want to contact him, but after thinking about it, he did not contact him directly. Instead, he edited a voice message and sent it out. In this way, if it is not cancelled after the time comes, it will be sent automatically.

At this moment, a whistle sounded in my ears, and the train under me started slowly, heading towards the other end along the deep tunnel.
