Outside the United Power Heavy Industries Company Building, vehicles from the Processing Bureau were parked in the square, from which hundreds of Processing Bureau members emerged.
These were all armed personnel implanted with monitoring and combat Implants, possessing considerable combat capabilities. Led by Executive Officers from within the Bureau, they also carried a large number of light and heavy weapons, adopting a battle-ready stance.
If they hadn't received prior notice of the inspection, one might have thought these people were about to launch an attack.
A female assistant walked out with several Security guards . The Company's convoy had just arrived, and the Processing Bureau was already at their door for inspection, which fully demonstrated Central City's animosity towards them.
However, the Company had anticipated this situation before coming, and they had already made preparations. Therefore, they did not choose to confront them but calmly stepped forward to speak with the person in charge from the Processing Bureau.
After a few words exchanged, and the Processing Bureau presented their inspection warrant, the female assistant stated that she would cooperate with the Processing Bureau's search, but also requested that the Company's legal team be present throughout the process to provide legal safeguards.
The Processing Bureau's person in charge was named Bao , an Investigation Action Team Captain , Third-Limit Martial Artist . He was responsible for investigating United Power Heavy Industries during the tenure of the previous Investigation Director , was experienced, and highly trusted by the previous supervisor , considered the latter's confidant. Chen Chuan did not adjust his position after taking office, still letting him lead the team.
After entering the Company's interior, Captain Bao glanced around and sent a message using the Boundary Token according to the established procedure, "supervisor , we have entered the Building and are now starting the inspection."
Then he made a gesture, and the team members who poured in behind him immediately dispersed according to combat groups.
They had inspected the United Power Heavy Industries Building several times and were very familiar with the place. They had confiscated many things before, but some non-essential items were returned after United Power Heavy Industries paid a fine.This time, they mainly checked various energy field equipment and the items carried by the convoy.
After the inspection of the other items, a team came to the basement and saw the ceramic container that was taller than a person.
Captain Bao asked, "What is this?"
The female assistant calmly replied, "Active Consciousness Entity embryo."
She had no intention of concealing anything. Bringing the Active Consciousness Entity into Central City had been approved by the Municipal Council, and it was promised that all High-Energy Nutrients would be purchased through channels provided by the Municipal Council.
Moreover, the existence of the Active Consciousness Entity itself was also a deterrent, so they were not afraid of the Processing Bureau knowing.
Captain Bao looked serious and ordered people to use energy field detection equipment to check it. Although the Municipal Council had approved it, the Government Affairs Hall still had the power to retrieve information and supervise.
Chen Chuan was watching from behind. With the Safe Shield's Field data connected and the personnel on site, he could see the entire inspection process.
But he noticed that Captain Bao only had his team members use equipment to check it and did not ask United Power Heavy Industries to open the ceramic jar. This action itself was not problematic.
However, this inspection, in addition to putting pressure on United Power Heavy Industries, was also meant to give them a warning and deterrence through this action. If they could understand his intention, they should be more aggressive in their actions, rather than this conventional approach, which would not bring any pressure to the well-prepared United Power Heavy Industries Company.
He was already considering adjusting Captain Bao's position after the action team returned.
After checking all the items, the action team began to compare the personnel information one by one.
After checking, it was found that most of the people corresponded to the reported personnel, but when checking a Security guard Captain with Third LimitStrength, it was discovered that this person was not on the record, and they immediately questioned him.
"According to the agreements between the governments of various countries and enterprises, every Third-Limit Martial Artist needs to have a detailed itinerary record when operating outside. Why is your itinerary record blank for the past three days?"
The Security guard Captain said, "I was hired by the Company halfway and only came to Central City today. I haven't had time to register with the Government Affairs Hall."
Processing Bureau inspectors sternly said, "You have been in Central City for three hours and should have gone to register immediately."
The Security guard Captain argued, "I am for my employer. As a mercenary, I must prioritize the safety of my employer."
Captain Bao gestured, and several Processing Bureau members immediately surrounded him with guns, expulsion other personnel to a certain distance.
He said seriously to the Security guard Captain , "Put down all your weapons, you are under arrest."
"What?"
The Security guard Captain subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist, but was immediately pointed at by several guns, and he immediately looked at his employer.
The female assistant stood outside and said, "Captain Bao , I'm sorry, this was our negligence." She turned to the Security guard Captain and said seriously, "Please put down your weapons and leave with the members of the Processing Bureau. Because this is not entirely your responsibility, we will pay you your commission as usual, and give you the compensation you deserve."
The Security guard Captain raised his hands, allowing Processing Bureau members to come up and take away his weapons, and was put on special handcuffs, and then taken out under arrest.
Chen Chuan saw all this clearly through the Boundary Token.
Although it seemed that this scene had found a loophole in United Power Heavy Industries and played a role in deterrence and warning.
But he could see that this was a loophole deliberately left by United Power Heavy Industries.
These people knew very well that if this operation found nothing, and the Processing Bureau had no results, they might try to find trouble elsewhere.
This was to "appease" the Processing Bureau.
The inspection continued. At this time, it was noted that there were two private security personnel with specially approved Security guard certificates in the team, a man and a woman codenamed "Raptor" and "Eel".
These were two Security guards with Black Steel Grade ratings.
Black Steel Grade is a common rating in the Security guard employment field, indicating that these two Security guards are Martial Artists with experience fighting Imperial Retainer Warriors from the Convergence Zone.
If compared to the Processing Bureau, that would be a level one to three Executive Officer. The specific Strength cannot be directly judged. Previously, United Power Heavy Industries had never sent such Martial Artists to Jibeidiao Central City, and from the display, these two people were responsible for protecting the overall person in charge from United Power Heavy Industries this time.
After verifying the information of all armed personnel , Captain Bao said to the female assistant, "If United Power Heavy Industries makes adjustments to weapons and organisms, the information must be reported in a timely manner, and the same goes for armed personnel information."
The female assistant replied, "Of course, we will abide by the laws of Central City." She looked to the side, "We have a first-class legal team."
Captain Bao glanced at the Lawyer team standing there, walked to the side, and said to the Boundary Token, "Report, all items have been inspected, and no contraband was found. All armed personnel have been verified. Requesting to withdraw the team."
Chen Chuan said at this time, "Captain Bao , ask their person in charge, I need to confirm the person in charge's information."
A slight hesitation appeared in Captain Bao's eyes, but he still looked up and said, "Where is your person in charge? We need to meet her, there are some situations that need to be confirmed with her."
The female assistant said, "Our young lady is not armed personnel and does not carry any weapons. She has a special pass issued by the Municipal Council and has no obligation to cooperate with your inspection."
Captain Bao said, "But I hope you can cooperate."
The female assistant said seriously, "This is not in accordance with the procedure. If you insist, then I will have to initiate legal proceedings against you."
And as she said this, the legal team behind her, although they did not speak, had already begun recording and sending certain messages.
Captain Bao frowned.
At this time, a small Captain -like person walked over from a distance and said sternly, "Now is a special period, all departments can implement the emergency regulations of the Government Affairs Hall. If you want to complain, you can go to the Government Affairs Hall to complain afterwards, but right now, please cooperate with our requirements, otherwise we can determine that you have not fulfilled your obligation to cooperate."
Captain Bao looked at him, with slight displeasure in his eyes, but said nothing.
The female assistant then reached out and touched the Boundary Token, as if she had heard something. After a while, she looked up and said, "Please come with me." She added, "Captain Bao , only you."
Captain Bao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Without my order, no one is allowed to act without authorization." After speaking, he followed the female assistant into the elevator and went to the office on the top floor.
The other Processing Bureau members were waiting below. About twenty minutes later, he came down from above and said to the Boundary Token, "Supervisor Chen, there is an energy fieldInterference creature above, I can't transmit messages, but I have met the person. I will report the specific situation to you in person when I get back."
The voice came from the Boundary Token: "Come back."
"Yes!"
Captain Bao said loudly to the remaining team members, "Withdraw the team!" Then all the personnel immediately and orderly withdrew from the CompanyBuilding, and after getting into the cars, they returned to the Processing Bureau.
Chen Chuan then turned off the display on the energy fieldscreen. From this operation, as he judged, most of the people cooperating with the operation were just completing the task according to the regulations. If there were no additional instructions, they would not be meddlesome and did not have much initiative.
In fact, this is understandable. It is good for the people below to do things according to the regulations, at least they will not make mistakes. However, Captain Bao's performance was unqualified. As an experienced Captain , he was clear about certain things, and there was no need for the people below to speak for him. Such actions were just him not wanting to cause trouble for himself.
It was that small Captain instead. He glanced at the name.
Xu Changfeng .
Although he was only a Second-Limit Martial Artist, this was the norm. A large number of clerks below had not even reached cultivation level, Second Limit was already not bad.
This person could be used, this opportunity was earned by himself.
He was willing to give him a chance.
