In the Ocean Abundance District, on a ship at the distant ocean port, the head of the Ferris Wheel Corporation immediately left upon receiving the mission failed message. He personally took the original telegram back to the Company and found the supervisor of the operations department.

After reading the telegram, the supervisor said, "Neither target was eliminated..." He shook his head. "Even the Wave Pavilion's disciple couldn't do it..."

The person in charge replied, "According to the telegram, Jian Cheng Sheng used the "God of the blade' skills, but still failed to harm the main target..."

At this point, he looked up and said, "Supervisor, I think we need to employ a more powerful Martial Artist to deal with such a target..."

The supervisor frowned. If they could do that, the Company would have done it already, and wouldn't have bothered to hire someone from Wave Pavilion. They were on Da Shun's territory, and their restrictions were very high. He slowly said, "This needs to be decided by the Board of Directors." He then asked, "Were the loose ends cleaned up?"

The person in charge said, "Cleaned up. There won't be any direct evidence pointing to us."

The supervisor said in a deep voice, "Sometimes direct evidence isn't needed, but getting rid of the people always reduces some trouble."

The last incident hadn't ended yet, and this time the Processing Bureau probably wouldn't let this matter go easily. The Company would likely face a lot of pressure next, and in the end, they would probably push a few people out to take responsibility.

He glanced at his capable subordinate, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Wait for me here for a while. I'll personally report this matter to the directors."

On the other side, after resting in the villa for a night, the next day Chen Chuan drove the Jiade car again, taking Wei Dong and Wu Han around Central City to familiarize them with the surrounding environment.

At lunchtime, he said to Wu Han, "Senior, do you want to stay for a few days to adjust, or do you want to do something?"

Wu Han said, "Hey, junior, you don't know me well enough. How could I stay idle? According to your previous introduction, there should be many missions to do in Central City, right?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Wu Xuechang, although you don't have formal citizen status, Central City is big enough that as long as you have the ability, there's enough room to maneuver. I'll introduce you to someone. If you don't mind, Senior, follow him first to familiarize yourself with the situation here, and then decide what to do."

Wu Han said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, junior."

Chen Chuan immediately contacted Old Qi, deciding to have this person take Wu Han to do some commissions first.

This had been planned for a while. Old Qi has formal citizen status and is an employee of a legitimate commission company. He has worked with Wuyi Academy a lot in the past and has a lot of experience working with Martial Artists, so he knows how to arrange things.

Especially now that Old Qi is being watched by people from the Plague Cult and doesn't dare to come out, it's a good opportunity to have Wu Han go there to cooperate with him, so that they can both have someone to look after them.

The contact with Old Qi went smoothly. Chen Chuan explained the situation, and he immediately agreed.

In Old Qi's view, this wasn't Chen Chuan asking him to take care of his classmate, but clearly finding a helper who could protect himself. He was filled with gratitude and secretly thought about how to do what he had been told to do well.

After settling this matter, Chen Chuan took the two around some of the main locations in the city after lunch, first sent Wei Dong back to the Academy, and then sent Wu Han to Old Qi's temporary residence, introduced the two to each other, and drove away after seeing that there was nothing else to do.

On the way back, he contacted his cousin Gao Ming: "Gao Ming, are you coming back tonight? Little aunt knows you live alone and asked me to bring you something, and I also have something to discuss with you."

Gao Ming said, "There's a conference office building near our law firm, cousin. Let's talk there. You're my first client, and I have time now."

"Okay, I'll be there in an hour."

At about five o'clock, Chen Chuan's Jiade car entered the Majestic Light District, which has the best public facilities and security in Central City besides the White Bird District.

The Central City Government Building, Circular Cross Conference Hall, and most of the conglomerate's branch companies and high-end law firms are located here. The Processing Bureau has concentrated a considerable portion of its elite here.

Just when he came over, four Second-Class Executive Officers greeted him in succession. It can be seen that if there is a problem in any place here, multiple Third-Limit Martial Artists will arrive within minutes.

So the many violent incidents in Central City are not entirely due to a lack of martial power. Sometimes the problem is actually in the allocation of resources.

Arriving at the agreed-upon conference building, he parked the car and took the elevator to the agreed-upon conference room on the eighty-second floor. When he walked in, Gao Ming had already arrived one step earlier.

The two greeted each other and sat down by the long floor-to-ceiling window. Chen Chuan said, "The things are in the trunk. Take them with you when you leave later."

Gao Ming smiled slightly and said, "Okay, cousin."

Accompanied by the evening scenery of Central City outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Chen Chuan and Gao Ming chatted casually. After finishing a cup of tea, he told him about the Ferris Wheel Corporation attack.

Gao Ming listened carefully and said, "Cousin, I personally believe that even if the government puts pressure on them, Ferris Wheel Corporation will at most give some explanations and compensation in the absence of concrete evidence.

That's the most that will happen. If the higher-ups really want to deal with Ferris Wheel Corporation, it will never be because of this matter, but for other reasons."

Chen Chuan nodded, expecting this.

Although Ferris Wheel Corporation is not a world-class conglomerate, the related parties involved are considerable.

And this company also has its own military armed strength, possessing its own Active Consciousness Entity. Not to mention its influence on many islands in the Outer Ocean, a large part of the commercial activities in Luminous Dew District are related to it. Many people simply will not allow it to have problems.

He said, "But now Ferris Wheel Corporation may be targeting me for some unknown reason. I don't think they will give up so easily."

Gao Ming understood what he meant and said, "Cousin, with personal strength, there is no way to fight against a large company. What can deal with a company is another company, or using the government's strength, but this requires waiting for an opportunity..."

He smiled and said, "For example, the Molan Company was because it tried to get involved in Yang Zhi's water source... In my opinion, Ferris Wheel Corporation is not far from this dangerous boundary."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, "The Union?"

Gao Ming said, "Yes, the Union. The Union's investigation involves the game above. I don't know what the Great Shun Government is thinking, but this matter itself has definitely reached a dangerous boundary. Past examples have proven this."

He said in a serious tone, "Ferris Wheel Corporation's assassination attempt against you, cousin, and this assassination attempt against Bureau Chief Lei, are obviously not actions under normal circumstances, so I speculate that this matter may be related to Ferris Wheel joining the Union.

Before they actually join the Union, they may not stop such actions. Not only here with you, cousin, they are likely to be working hard in other places, and as long as they continue to do so, they will gradually approach that bottom line.

So cousin, we need to wait.

Waiting is not giving up, but waiting for the enemy to reveal an opportunity to make a mistake, waiting for a bigger loophole to appear before counterattacking. You are a Martial Artist, you should know this better than I do."

Chen Chuan said, "Gao Ming, you're right, but also using Martial Artists as an example, we are not completely waiting, but actively attacking to force the enemy to reveal flaws, so I want to ask..." He looked at Gao Ming, "Is it possible to try to push them towards that bottom line?"

Gao Ming smiled and said, "That depends on the strength of the person exerting the force. As long as the strength is sufficient, it is enough to promote this matter. There is a way. In fact, I think some people should be more anxious than us. I remember that you have had contact with people from the Sea Dragon Company."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Gao Ming said, "Ferris Wheel Corporation is backed by the outer islands, the Oceanic Council, which is public information. Sea Dragon Company's main business is also there. Ferris Wheel Corporation's joining the Union will first damage their interests.

In addition to Sea Dragon Company, there is also an Oceanic Development Group. Both of these are state-owned enterprises, and they will undoubtedly be the first to feel Ferris Wheel's rising momentum. They won't do nothing.

So I don't think you need to rush to do anything, cousin. After knowing that you were attacked and that it was related to Ferris Wheel Corporation, they may take the initiative to contact you."

He pushed his glasses and said, "If they remain still, it means they have deeper plans, or there is a greater strength above suppressing them, then we must not act rashly.

In short, the important thing now is to wait, while doing the necessary defenses. I think time is on our side."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Gao Ming, Ferris Wheel investigated my situation in Yang Zhi last time. They may also target you, so you also need to be careful."

Gao Ming smiled and said, "I know, so since someone investigated you last time, cousin, I have been living in the law firm's dormitory these days and have not returned to my apartment."

Chen Chuan nodded. No wonder Gao Ming asked him to meet here. Gao Ming's law firm has a big name, has its own independent security guard, and purchased city security guard services for every lawyer. The Processing Bureau has concentrated a considerable amount of strength here, so there is almost no need to worry about any problems.

He reminded, "Remember to stay in touch at all times."

Gao Ming said seriously, "I will, cousin."

The two discussed some more issues, then left the conference room together and parted ways in the building's square.

As soon as he sat firmly in the car, a message came from the Academy platform. He clicked it open and Hong Fu's voice came from it:

"Hello, Chen student, the guiding teacher you applied for will arrive at the Academy on February 1st. Please go to connect yourself."

Chen Chuan's spirit was lifted. He had previously participated in the defense mission in order to obtain a higher level of guidance, and now he has finally waited for it.
