Chen Chuan stared at the map on the energy field's large screen. Although Safe Shield supported his judgment and roughly outlined several areas where people might be hiding, it wasn't easy to find them based on this alone.
After all, these places were too large, and most were located in the gaps between areas. Many places didn't even have Field Entities, and were almost entirely gathering places for those without citizen status, filled with a large number of wanted criminals and felons. Without sufficient manpower, it was impossible to investigate.
Unless Safe Shield devoted all its resources to serving him, monitoring these places around the clock, perhaps they could identify the suspicious targets.
But that was impossible. The entire Processing Bureau's information transmission, situation analysis, energy field detection, strategy research, personnel coordination, weapon allocation, and other aspects all relied on Safe Shield's support. As the Investigation Director, he could mobilize considerable resources, but they were still limited. Only in the event of an emergency could he apply to higher authorities for more.
But United Power Heavy Industries clearly hadn't reached that level yet.
So, to find these people, he needed to find another method.
Normally, this would involve the Processing Bureau taking the lead, calling on city security personnel to cooperate in the investigation, but this approach was inefficient, created too much commotion, and after a long time, it was almost pointless to count on it.
Because there were always other urgent, temporary, or higher-priority matters that would interfere. Even now, city Security guard had accumulated a huge pile of almost countless tasks waiting to be completed.
So this route was unfeasible, but fortunately, there was another option.
That was to find a Commission Company and client.That was indeed very convenient. As long as you paid enough money to a reputable commissioned party, they would help you get things done. You wouldn't have to waste too much manpower or resources, nor would you be responsible for the various situations that arose during their execution of the commission.
He pondered for a moment and decided to try it on this matter.
After all, before his own personnel were in place, this seemed to be the only feasible way.
He directly asked Safe Shield to retrieve clients from the Processing Bureau's files who met his requirements. A person's figure and image immediately flashed on the screen.
In fact, finding a client or Commission Company wasn't a casual matter, because the relationships behind these people or Companies were complex, and the waters were very deep.
However, while others might need to repeatedly consider and weigh the options, it was different for him. The Processing Bureau was a powerful department, and a violent institution. Regardless of the client or Commission Company, no matter their background, they more or less needed to learn to deal with the Processing Bureau, rather than him accommodating their rules.
After looking through them, he finally focused on the image of a bald man. This person had obvious Implant lines on his head, a few neatly trimmed braided whiskers on his chin, full lips, a long nose and square mouth, a broad body, and was about forty years old. His name was Huang Weiyi.
This client used to be a high-level executive at a well-known Commission Company, but later he started his own business. This person paid attention to the bottom line, rarely deducting money from clients. Sometimes, if things were done poorly, he would rather cover the costs himself, so he had a good reputation in the industry.
However, those in this line of work, constantly walking in the gray area, none had a clean background, but that wasn't his concern. He looked at this person's commission and credit rating, as well as the tasks he had handled before, and decided on this person. So he immediately asked Safe Shield to connect to this person's signal.
The screen showed an image of a chubby gecko clinging to a wall. After a moment, the bald man appeared.
"Supervisor Chen, what can I do for you?"
Huang Weiyi was obviously a little surprised, he recognized Chen Chuan, obviously knew his name, immediately grinned and said flattering things, "Supervisor Chen, Supervisor Chen, what can Huang do for you?" Chen Chuan sent some content regarding the information he wanted investigated, "Mr. Huang, I need you to find some people, the commission is quite urgent, after finding them, don't act rashly, just tell me where they are. Can you take this commission?"

Huang Weiyi said immediately after seeing it, "Since Supervisor Chen has instructed me, there is nothing to say, even if Huang's brain falls off, I will definitely do it for you!"
Huang Weiyi knew that ordinary matters wouldn't require the Processing Bureau's supervisor to look for him. After only a rough look at the content, he immediately realized that this might involve a struggle between the Government and a large company.
Although he seemed like a high and mighty figure to the mercenary teams and independent clients under him, neither the Government nor the Company were someone a small client like him could afford to offend. A slight carelessness would result in him being crushed into dust.
Therefore, in this moment, his back was covered in cold sweat.
But he couldn't refuse. This was the Processing Bureau Investigation Director personally looking for him. How could he dare not give him face? Moreover, this matter was both a danger and an opportunity. If he handled it well, he might be able to get on Chen Chuan's good side.
Chen Chuan was the Processing Bureau's Investigation Director in charge of operations. If he could establish a solid relationship, even if a little something leaked through his fingers, it would be enough for him to expand his business several times, not to mention the various invisible benefits.
Chen Chuan said, "Since you can take it, I'll leave it to you. But remember, there must be a bottom line in doing things. Give me a quote later."
Huang Weiyi hurriedly said, "Supervisor Chen is showing Huang too much respect. This is the first commission, so I won't charge anything."
Chen Chuan said, "No need, follow the rules." Without paying, who would be willing to work hard? That's not how things are done.
"Supervisor Chen is particular," Huang Weiyi's tone unconsciously rose a little, "I wonder if you have any other instructions?"
Chen Chuan said, "Find the information as soon as possible, and ensure that the information is not leaked."
"Okay, Supervisor Chen, rest assured, Huang has remembered everything you said! I will definitely do the job beautifully for you!"
"That's it then."
On Huang Weiyi's side, after hearing that the connection was interrupted, he took out a cloth to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He immediately clicked on a contact signal, and after waiting for a while, it was connected. A lazy, complaining voice came from the other end, "Boss, what's the matter? I just fell asleep."
"Sleep what sleep! Get up immediately, if you can't, take two gray pills to perk yourself up. I'm telling you, a big job is here! Listen, if we do this well, we can follow a big shot and live a life of luxury in the future!"
On Chen Chuan's side, he was also facing another problem, which was how to quickly resolve these people after finding them. Safe Shield suggested calling on the Executive Captain. This was a good suggestion, but only a suggestion.
The Executive Captain was subject to the Bureau Chief and the Ministry of Defense's call and direct assignment in emergency situations. They were not easily mobilized for general daily tasks.
Just like when he was the Executive Captain, he wouldn't show up unless it involved some very special operations, and the person he contacted was Director Wu.
The Investigation Director needed to apply to mobilize them, and there was no guarantee that they would be deployed.
However, if he could train his own people, or if the Executive Captain was willing to cooperate, that would be fine too.
But this matter was prone to incurring favors, so he planned to do it himself. Anyway, it wouldn't take much time. If they were good opponents, they could provide Internal energy reference experience and improve Second Self. He would welcome it even more.
After thinking about all this, he looked at other messages. Besides United Power Heavy Industries, the Processing Bureau also wanted him to keep an eye on Green Source Ecological Company.
However, this Company acted more discreetly, and the Strength hidden in Central City was stronger than United Power Heavy Industries. With the Strength he had on hand, it was impossible to deal with both at the same time. He could only focus on one Company first, and adopt a surveillance strategy for this Company for now.
While he was thinking, a contact tone came from Boundary Token. He looked at it and immediately connected, "Councilor Pei?"
Councilor Pei's voice rang in his ear: "Supervisor Chen, the permissions you wanted have already been applied for. The official documents will be sent to you later, but please use them with caution."
Chen Chuan heard a prompt tone and glanced at it. He saw the text display of the permission certificate, with the Ministry of Defense's seal on the back. He said: "Councilor Pei, thank you. But in the recent period, I may not be able to take the time to do this."
Councilor Pei said: "I know you have a lot of things to do. The Ministry of Defense is watching this matter, and the Secret Department is also responsible for secret investigations. If I have any clues, I will notify you in time. Also, your application to transfer specialists has been approved. Your team members will arrive here in the next two days or so."
Chen Chuan said: "Councilor Pei, thank you, and please thank the specialist for me."
He had recently received some internal news from the Processing Bureau, learning that there was a lot of activity in the Convergence Zone, and various departments were transferring personnel to the Convergence Zone. At this time, it must not be easy to transfer three Third-Limit Martial Artist back. It must have been Commissioner Liang's special approval that made it possible.
However, he did need manpower here, otherwise, many things could not be carried out.
Councilor Pei said: "Supervisor Chen, no need to thank me. We all have a common target. That's it then, contact you later."
"Okay, contact you later."
Chen Chuan nodded and ended the call with him.
He thought for a while and found that there was nothing else for the time being, so he closed the energy fieldscreen and went to the upstairs training ground to Cultivation. However, only a little over an hour had passed when he saw a message from Lu Fang.
Lu Fang usually wouldn't look for him if there was nothing wrong. He realized that there might be something going on and immediately contacted the former, asking: "Senior Lu, is there something wrong?"
Lu Fang's somewhat tight voice came from the other side: "Junior, these past two days, there have been people monitoring outside the Martial Combat hall. I paid attention and saw that someone seems to be targeting Little Jin. I feel that the situation is not right, so I'm telling you. Today, I told Little Jin not to come to the Martial Combat hall."
Chen Chuan was slightly surprised. A thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but think of many things, but he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while. He said: "I understand, Senior Lu. If there is anything going on at your place, please inform me as soon as possible."
