Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 851: The remains of the ice field

After having a meal at Cheng Zitong's house at noon, Chen Chuan said goodbye and left.

When he came out, the sun was shining brightly and there were sounds of birds singing on the treetops. This time he did not hide himself but walked straight past the gate of the lakeside villa.

There were two old men sitting on both sides of a stone table by the roadside. Each of them was holding a teapot and they were chatting while squinting in the sun.

At this moment, they suddenly saw Chen Chuan walking past them. They were stunned and their squinted eyes widened.

Chen Chuan nodded to the two men and said, "Happy New Year, seniors."

The two old men were stunned for a moment, then stood up involuntarily and responded, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year..."

After Chen Chuan walked over, the two men were still staring blankly. After a while, one of the old men said excitedly: "Old Qian, did you see it? Did you see it?"

"I saw it, I saw it, Lao He, please don't hit me, my old bones can't stand your hitting..." The other old man hurriedly moved away.

Old He retracted his hand and grabbed his beard, saying with a beaming face: "This is a fighter. The fighter is wishing us a happy new year. Well, this old man's life is worth it! It's worth it, haha!"

Lao Qian couldn't help but nod vigorously.

Unlike most people, as retired teachers from Wuyi Academy, they knew too well what a fighter meant. To them, the position of Defense Director was high, but that was all. There were many people who could hold this position. But a fighter? That was not something that everyone could achieve.

This title has an irreplaceable position in the minds of those who have practiced martial arts all their lives!

The two old men looked at each other at the same time until they could no longer see Chen Chuan, and then smiled. Now they will have something to blow for the whole New Year. No, they will have something to blow for every year!

Lao He looked behind him and said, "This guy just came out of Director Cheng's house. Director Cheng's apprentice is so worth it. Have you heard about it? Director Cheng went to Lao Qiao's house for this student and asked for a sword manual. Lao Qiao said that he would give him the sword manual, but he would only reward Director Chen if he let him follow his apprentice as an assistant. Hey, I wonder if he is embarrassed now."

"Of course not. Last year, Old Man Joe hurriedly took his apprentice to Central City. What do you think he was doing? He was trying to save his reputation. Who knows, he might even be trying to get it back now."

"Hey, I heard about this. What's the point of fighting between Old Man Qiao and Manager Cheng? A senior brother and a junior brother, is there anything they can't talk about?"

"Don't you understand? Are they competing? They are fighting for the way forward! No one will back down."

"Then let me tell you, Old Man Qiao should give up this thought as soon as possible. His apprentice will never be able to catch up with the supervisor's student in his eight lifetimes. It's not shameful to admit defeat."

"Why admit defeat? Hiding is also an option. Hey~ As long as I can't see it, then I won't lose!"

The two were chatting there when they suddenly saw a number of cars driving in from outside.

Old He looked around and said, "Eh? Isn't that Director He's car in the lead? Is he here to pay New Year's greetings? The sun is rising from the west. In the past, when the Bureau of Processing came to pay New Year's greetings to us, they would just send a few officers to show their respect. Why did he come here alone today?"

The two men suddenly thought of something at this moment, and looked at each other with meaningful expressions. Everyone knows that He Fen, director of the Processing Bureau, is a power-obsessed person, and it is obvious who he is trying to curry favor with.

But this is not Director He’s fault, he just wants to improve too much.

When Chen Chuan went out, he saw a convoy coming in from afar, and also saw who the people were, but he was not interested in meeting them, so he walked towards the dormitory.

In the dormitory building, a resident student was sitting at the window drinking water after training. He glanced down inadvertently and his expression suddenly froze.

Then he became excited, "Senior Chen, it's Senior Chen!"

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Chen Chuan seemed to have heard his voice, turned around, looked at him, and nodded at him with a smile. He was so excited that he trembled all over and waved to the people below.

After a while, he saw that Chen Chuanren had walked out of his sight, so he ran out immediately. Without taking the elevator, he ran directly downstairs through the corridor. When he got outside, he looked to both sides and found that the person was gone. He felt a little lost.

After standing there for a while, he became excited again. He ran to the public telephone below the dormitory, picked up the receiver and dialed a number. After the call was connected, he couldn't wait to say, "Guess who I met today?"

After Chen Chuan came back from college, he went out and met with his old classmates in the following days.

However, most of his former classmates became a little reserved and distant after knowing his current status. Only Ding Jiao, his good friend and deskmate in middle school, still treated him the same as before. In Ding Jiao's words, it doesn't matter what position he holds, he is still the same person. Xiaochuan was my buddy before, and he is still my buddy now.

Chen Chuan told him that his family might have to move with him. Ding Jiao was reluctant to let them go. In the past, even if Chen Chuan moved to the central city, he would at least come back once a year. But looking at this situation, it might be difficult for him to come back in the future.

Chen Chuan gave him his personal phone number and telegram contact information, and told him that he could contact him if he had any questions, and that if he wanted to go to the central city at any time, he just needed to let him know in advance. Finally, he said that he was not really not going to come back, after all, this was his hometown and the old house was still here, so he would always come back to visit.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

At this time, Chen Chuan was already making arrangements for his family to move to the central city. However, at this moment, the Civil Affairs Director Zhu Xian suddenly called him and asked if he could come to the Civil Affairs Department. He mentioned that a representative from Yuan'an Company had come to him today and there was an urgent matter that required his presence.

Chen Chuan didn't know what was going on, but from Zhu Xian's tone and words, as well as the information involving Yuan'an Company, he could guess that this should not be a trivial matter.

He said he would come immediately. Because the SUV was given to his family, he took a vehicle dispatched from nearby and went directly to the Civil Affairs Hall. After arriving here, he was invited to the reception hall by Secretary Xiao Pan.

Besides the Civil Affairs Director Zhu Xian, there was another person waiting here. When Chen Chuan came in, he took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Chen Chuan. "Director Chen, let me introduce myself. I am Bao Ning, the branch manager of Yuanan Company.

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that the supervisor was in his forties, with half of his face covered with implanted skin. He was very thin, with prominent cheekbones, and his hair stood up high, half white and half green. This kind of makeup might be hard to see in Yangzhi City, but it was very common in the central city.

Bao Ning apologized and said, "Director Chen, I'm sorry to ask you to come here today, but our company has encountered some unexpected situations. You are the director of the Security and Defense Department of Jibei Road, so we have to bother you for a while."

Chen Chuan asked, "What's the matter?"

As soon as Bao Ning extended his hand, an assistant immediately handed him a hard folder. He handed it to Chen Chuan with both hands, "Director Chen, this is our company's incident record report, please take a look."

Chen Chuan took it and took a look at it, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously, because what was recorded on it was exactly the thing that Nian Fuli had mentioned before. He originally wanted to go back to the central city to inquire about it, but he didn't expect that it would come to him now.

What is said above is that in the previous stage, the Yuan'an Company was building a railway in the north. When passing a certain section of the road, two people were accidentally dug out from there.

The report also recorded two sets of on-site photos. It can be roughly seen that there are two people, a man and a woman, both of whom are very large. They are wearing clothes made of some special materials, with some ancient nomadic style, but the specific shape cannot be seen.

Moreover, one of these two people has white hair, and the other has yellowish hair. Both of them have high noses and deep eyes. It is obvious that they are not from Donglu.

"After we found these two people, we asked professionals to analyze them and suspected that they were ancient fighters. Surprisingly, we detected that they still had certain life reactions, so we placed them in a proper place and prepared to transport them to our company for processing. However, two days ago, the train carrying these two people was attacked by unknown forces on the road, and both of them disappeared."

Supervisor Bao said: "We are still unclear whether the two woke up and escaped on their own, or whether they were abducted by unknown forces."

Chen Chuan raised his head and said, "Since these two people still have life signs and are judged to be fighters, this is an extremely dangerous matter. Yuan'an Company is a national military enterprise and it is clear that there are fighters stationed there. Why didn't they transfer people to take charge and protect them during this period?"

Manager Bao lowered his head and said with full shame: "It was really our fault that we were careless and did not pay enough attention. Because the two people only had weak biological signals, we judged that there was no problem, so this incident happened. I'm really sorry! Our Yuan'an Company is willing to bear all the losses caused by this incident." As he said this, he bowed.

Chen Chuanruo looked at him meaningfully. He understood the thoughts of these companies very well. This was not a matter of not paying enough attention, but a matter of paying too much attention.

It is not difficult to guess that after discovering these two people, Yuan'an Company must have felt that they were extremely valuable, so they wanted to conduct private research on the two people. However, the branch office did not have the conditions for this, so they had to be transported to the head office.

But if they want to be assured on the road, they must invite fighters over. However, this kind of transfer will definitely leave a record in the Fighting Council, and they don't want the outside world to know about it, so they simply skip this step.

He looked at the records and found that the two people were found at the end of November, but they were not sent to the head office until a few days ago. It seemed very rushed. He had reason to suspect that the other party might have noticed that he had come to Yangzhi and was afraid that he would ask about the matter after hearing the news, so they were in a hurry to transport the two people away.

As a result, two people are missing now, and they feel they can no longer keep it together, so they found him.

He thought about it. If these two fighters with unknown identities and intentions were still alive, it would be very dangerous to let them wander around freely. This matter was also related to the safety of Jibei Road. As the director of defense, he could not ignore it. He had to find a way to find these two people and control them!
