Atlas of Heaven and Earth

Chen Chuan listened to the sound of the call ending on the other side. He pondered for a moment, wondering where this person came from. Poison Ant Express? Moss Gang? Or... Green Source Ecological Company?

The person's words contained implied threats, but this precisely indicated limited Strength and some reservations; otherwise, there was no need to talk to him about it; they could just take action directly.

However, this proved that the Clear Path Logistics matter might not be as simple as a superficial business conflict; it should be related to certain things.

Moreover, the fact that the other party could find out his identity meant that they knew he wouldn't stay here for long, so there was no need to rush to tell him this; they could wait until he left.

Or, was it precisely because they knew his identity that they were afraid of the Processing Bureau intervening?

Well, that was somewhat interesting.

Perhaps he could write a report later. After all, although the Processing Bureau doesn't pay much attention to the Lower City District, it is still part of the Central City and, of course, within the jurisdiction of the Processing Bureau.

Just as he was thinking, Lan Xin'an contacted him: "Little Brother Chen, is there anything else you need? If not, we'll head back now."

Chen Chuan said: "Let's go back. One thing, do you have any Resonators here?"

Chen Chuan said: "It's nothing. If it's convenient later, please have them check a signal for me."

The energy field signal here cannot directly connect to the Upper City District, so there's no way to directly ask Wu Bei for help. However, if there are Resonators here, he can have someone assist in checking it.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone when I get back."

After ending the call, the entire convoy started moving, heading back to the camp.

As they left, one of the Poison Ant Express members recorded the fight between the two people earlier and walked alone to a corner, saying to the Boundary Token:

"As you requested, I recorded the scene using what you gave me. But you didn't say it would be this dangerous beforehand. You have to add more money."

"Boss is generous!"

"Okay, the transaction location is the same old place. I'm coming now."

Elsewhere, Lao Bian came back to his senses from the scene transmitted from the Boundary Token. He was very grateful that he hadn't clashed with Chen Chuan before; otherwise, the person whose head was crushed today might not have been Gai Er , but himself.

However, many Third-Limit Martial Artists in the Lower City District have circles, and Gai Er's death immediately spread throughout the circle. Because Gai Er frequently dealt with him, someone immediately contacted him.

"Lao Bian , I heard that the person who beat Gai Er to death was someone hired by your Clear Path Logistics. Wasn't that your turf? Why did it change hands? Did you retire?"

Lao Bian knew that these people were pretending to inquire about information but were actually secretly mocking him. Third-Limit Martial Artists have combat power even in old age, and someone like him doesn't need to do anything except show up at critical moments. There's no such thing as retirement. It's obvious that he was kicked out.

He was furious, but he had to deal with it superficially, saying a few casual words to get rid of the person.

But just as this ended, another one came: "Lao Bian , the newcomer is quite powerful. Is he your disciple? Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"

Lao Bian said, suppressing his anger: "He's not my disciple."

"Not your disciple?"

The other side pretended to be surprised and said, "You just gave it up like that if he's not your disciple? That just goes to show how respected and noble Lao Bian is, making way for the younger generation. Amazing. People like us are too vulgar to give up our positions."

After finishing with this person, after waiting for a while, another one came. Obviously, the news had already spread, and this person spoke in a seemingly comforting tone:

"Lao Bian , I saw what happened to Gai Er . I understand your approach. Young people are very irritable now and don't have any martial ethics. We're all old, and there's nothing to fight with them about. It's good to know your limitations and step down. After fighting for a lifetime, you're allowed to enjoy yourself, aren't you?"

After dealing with multiple contacts in a row, Lao Bian's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Unfortunately, his disciple still couldn't read the situation and said excitedly: "Master, now that Gai Er is dead, should it be our turn to take the stage?"

"Take what stage!?" Lao Bian scolded. He was terrified by the last scene. He'd rather let Poison Ant Express and Moss Gang deal with such a person.

The disciple shrank back at his rebuke and muttered, "Then are we just going to let it go?"

Lao Bian snorted and said, "Do you think Poison Ant Express will just back down now that Gai Er is dead? Will Moss Gang just let it go? Is it that simple? Just wait, there's a good show to watch."

The disciple suddenly understood, but at this moment, someone seemed to be contacting him. After answering a few questions, he looked up and said: "Master, it's someone from Poison Ant Express, asking if we knew the newcomer's background and why we didn't tell them earlier."

Lao Bian sneered and said: "Tell them that the person only arrived yesterday, and we didn't have time to inquire. Besides, they were the parties involved in the duel. Shouldn't they have inquired beforehand themselves? Do they need us to provide information?"

"Oh."

The disciple then said: "Master, Poison Ant Express said this matter isn't over."

Lao Bian snorted, feeling a bit annoyed. Were they seeing that they couldn't deal with him, so they came to him specifically to make threats? Were they all treating him like a pushover?

After the Clear Path Logistics convoy returned to the camp, Chen Chuan got out of the car. The Resonator that Lan Xin'an had found for him also arrived. This was a serious and earnest Mr. Chi in his thirties.

After checking, he said: "Mr. Chen, this should just be a Boundary Point signal. In the Lower City District, to avoid signal tracking, they usually adopt a point-to-point transfer method, which is to have an unrelated person receive the signal and then forward it outward, sometimes transferring it several times. They themselves don't know where it will eventually be transferred to.

This is a very simple method, but it works well. Even if we can find this Boundary Point, it might just be someone hired through the platform, not the main person. Of course, if Mr. Chen insists on finding them, we can find them."

Chen Chuan said: "Is that so? Thank you." In that case, even if he found someone with better skills, it would be useless, so there's no need to continue searching.

He thought for a moment and said: "Is there any way here to connect to the Upper City District?"

Old Chi said: "The Upper City District will shield the energy field of the Lower City District, but it can be bypassed through certain technical means from some loopholes. However, these loopholes are currently controlled by various gangs and groups. We used to have a signal channel, but after the problems with Luthong Express, the channel was also lost.

Now, if we want to establish a stable connection with the upper levels, we need to purchase signals from other gangs and groups. In addition to paying a large sum of money, we may not be able to guarantee that the content of the conversation will not be leaked.

If Little Brother Chen has any urgent or secret situations to contact the upper levels about, then we can try to build a strong signal. However, because doing so is a "privately established' signal, it may be subject to certain targeting and interference, so the conversation time cannot be too long. If it is limited to within three minutes, it is still possible."

Chen Chuan nodded. "Thank you. Then I'll trouble Mr. Chi to start preparing. I may need it later."

Old Chi said: "No problem. Captain Lan said to cooperate with you in everything. I'll go prepare now."

After he left, Lan Xin'an walked over and handed Chen Chuan a gold card. "Little Brother Chen, this is the reward we promised to give you."

Chen Chuan took it and saw that it was a Ten Thousand Prosperity Bank gold card. It seemed that this financial firm also had service stations in the Lower City District.

He asked and learned that this money was originally intended to be given to Lao Bian . According to the agreement, Clear Path Logistics was originally supposed to pay monthly, but the team's situation had been very bad in recent months, so it hadn't been paid for several months. Now it was all being transferred to him.

This money totaled two hundred thousand, which was almost all of the team's income for a quarter, excluding necessary expenses.

Looking at it this way, Lao Bian indeed had a very comfortable life, earning so much money every month while doing almost nothing, but even so, this person didn't seem to be satisfied.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment but handed the card back.

Seeing this, Lan Xin'an was a little puzzled, then seemed to realize something and hurriedly said: "Little Brother Chen, I know this may be a little less for you, but that's because we couldn't take on big business before, so we couldn't give you too much. However, now that we've taken back the territory, we believe we can earn more, and we'll make up for it then."

Chen Chuan shook his head. "I don't mean that, Captain Lan . I heard from Little Brother Lu that you've been privately paying to search for Teacher Yu's Implant?

Teacher Yu is my enlightenment teacher . When he encounters problems, I feel that if I have the ability, I should help. Take this money back and get Teacher Yu a good Implant."

Lan Xin'an looked at him in a daze. After a moment, she took the gold card back. "Little Brother Chen, Master does need these." She held up the card and said very seriously: "I'm borrowing this from you, Little Brother Chen. I'll pay it back."

Chen Chuan said: "This isn't urgent, Captain Lan . Where did you previously obtain your Implant channels from?"

Lan Xin'an said: "I asked customers who had business dealings with the Upper City District to order them for me. However, they said they could only order from small companies; they couldn't contact large companies."

Chen Chuan nodded. He could imagine that these customers definitely wanted to earn another cut in the middle, which was equivalent to being earned twice. Not only was a lot of money wasted, but the Implant he received might not be very good.

He said: "Then do you have suitable Implant doctors?"

Lan Xin'an said: "Yes, we have many Security guard members who use Implants. There were originally three Implant doctors, but now there's only one left.

But her skills are very good, and her character is trustworthy. Teacher's previous Implant was done by her. We also have a medical pod, which was left behind by the original Clear Path Logistics. It's one of the few things we got from the original team."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said: "In that case, I'll be responsible for contacting a channel."
