The armed vehicle team arrived at the Yangzhi City Checkpoint after a seven-hour journey, around noon. After a brief stop here, it drove towards the city ahead amidst the salute of the checkpoint inspector. At the same time, He Fen, the director of the Yangzhi City Processing Bureau, and Guan Yumming, the director of the Patrol Bureau, were waiting at the entrance of the National Highway into the city. Chen Chuan, as the Investigation Director of the Processing Bureau, and with the identity of a Third-Limit Martial Artist, had already notified Yangzhi City in advance of his trip and arranged for preparations to be made. Guan Yumming stood at the intersection, looking at the straight and wide National Highway in front of him, his mood slightly complicated. Chen Chuan could be regarded as a junior in the Patrol Bureau. He had watched Chen Chuan rise all the way, and he had even helped him along the way. He knew that this was a very outstanding young man who would definitely reach a higher position in the future. But who would have thought that it would come so quickly? The last time Chen Chuan came back, he was an Executive Captain, which was already one level higher than him. Now, he had become the Investigation Director, a true superior. Only the Mayor of Yangzhi City was at this level. He Fen looked into the distance and then at his watch, estimating that it would only be a few minutes before they arrived. He had only been transferred here this year and was not very familiar with the situation in Yangzhi City. Compared to Guan Yumming, he didn't have as many feelings. At this moment, he was just in the mindset of welcoming a superior. Guan Yumming nodded and said, "He is the nephew of our bureau's Captain Nian Fuli. He was raised by Nian Fuli and his wife since he was a child. He is a child of our Patrol Bureau." He Fen said with a smile, "Then Director Guan is also Supervisor Chen's elder. I haven't met Supervisor Chen. When I see him later, I will have to ask Director Guan to help me say a few words." Guan Yumming said, "Supervisor Chen is working in the Processing Bureau. Director He's words are more useful than mine." Just as they were talking, a loud and distant cry suddenly came from the sky above. He Fen looked up and then towards the end of the road, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his eyes. He said with certainty, "Here they come." After a while, Guan Yumming saw a black spot gradually appearing in front of the National Highway, which then became clearer and clearer. A motorcade was driving towards them. Leading the way was an armed vehicle with a machine gun mounted on top, followed by a lengthened armed special car and escort vehicles in the rear. The armed vehicle at the front saw the people waiting ahead and immediately reported back through the team's Field Entity. After reaching a certain distance, it pulled over to the side of the road. The special car drove to the front, slowly reduced speed, and finally stopped. The door opened, and Chen Chuan stepped out. He was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, protective gloves, and the military coat of an Investigation Director. Due to the upright posture characteristic of a Martial Artist, he looked extraordinarily heroic. As soon as he appeared, someone in the welcoming team shouted, "Salute!" All the personnel from the Patrol Bureau and Processing Bureau present gave a crisp salute. Chen Chuan stood still, returned a salute, and then walked forward until he reached Guan Yumming and He Fen. He first greeted Guan Yumming, saying, "Director Guan." Then he looked at He Fen, extended his hand, and said, "Director He, hello." He Fen immediately stepped forward and grasped his hand with both hands, saying enthusiastically, "Supervisor Chen, I have always heard my colleagues talk about you. Director Fang also called me in advance and especially mentioned your achievements. I have heard of them and deeply admire you." Chen Chuan understood that this person was from Director Fang's faction. He said, "I'm just coming home for a visit. The higher-ups requested advance notification. I didn't want to disturb the two of you." He Fen said, "Supervisor Chen is an official of the General Bureau. It is the duty of a subordinate like me to come and welcome you. Otherwise, people will say that I don't understand the rules." Guan Yumming said, "In official matters, you are our superior. In private, you are the most outstanding disciple to come out of our Patrol Bureau. In terms of both emotion and reason, I should come and welcome you." Chen Chuan said, "Director Guan is too kind." Guan Yumming said sternly, "Also, Governor Zhu specifically called me when I came and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said, "Then please thank Governor Zhu for me." Guan Yumming said, "I will convey it for you." At this time, He Fen said with a face full of smiles, "Supervisor Chen, we have prepared a banquet for you at the bureau, especially to welcome supervisor and wash away the dust. Please honor us with your presence." Chen Chuan said, "When I was in Yangzhi City before, I didn't have the opportunity to go to the branch bureau. As a member of the Processing Bureau, now that I've returned to Yang Zhi, I should have a meal there." He Fen's smile was even brighter, and he said, "Your subordinate will definitely take good care of supervisor." After exchanging pleasantries here, Chen Chuan and his party returned to their respective cars. The vehicles from several parties converged and, led by the vehicles clearing the way in front, drove towards the Yangzhi City Processing Bureau. Inside the Yangzhi City Government Affairs Hall, Minister Zhu Xian was currently on the phone. "The person who received my greetings brought them over well. Be sure to arrange the reception matters for Supervisor Chen properly." After putting down the phone, he was also filled with emotion. He had met Chen Chuan a few years ago, and at that time, he thought he was just an outstanding young man. He didn't think much about it afterward, but he didn't expect that he would be at the same level as him so quickly. It hasn't even been three years, has it? He had been working hard in the local area for many years to reach this position. However, he also understood that the current environment was different. Martial Artists with abilities did indeed rise quickly. Sometimes, an opportunity could lead to a meteoric rise. He had seen many such examples over the years. Although in terms of real power, he might not be comparable to this local official in charge of millions of people, when major conflicts and confrontations came, this kind of military force was in a priority position in the entire system. The secretary beside him said at this time, "I wonder if Supervisor Chen's return this time is a triumphant return or if he has other plans." Zhu Xian said, "It's not that complicated. In the eyes of Central City, Yangzhi City is just a small place. Without Molan Company, they wouldn't even take a second look." He waved his hand, "Just treat him according to the rules." After thinking about it, he added, "Notify me immediately if there are any situations." The secretary nodded. The last two times Chen Chuan went to Yang Zhi, he just called Little aunt's family to inform them and didn't cause any commotion. But this time, before he even returned, the Patrol Bureau family area had already spread the word that Chen Chuan had taken on a higher position in Central City and that even Director Guan had personally gone to the intersection to welcome him. Everyone was surprised and envious, sighing that the old man's family was really going to prosper. It wasn't just the Patrol Bureau and Processing Bureau. Wuyi Academy also received the news. After all, Wuyi Academy and the Processing Bureau were two sides of the same coin. Chen Chuan was also a student who came out of Wuyi, and they were also proud of him. Cheng Zitong had received the news early in the morning, so he had been beaming with joy these past few days. After hearing that Chen Chuan's motorcade had entered the city, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Old Qian, I'm looking for Senior Brother." The other side immediately replied, "Supervisor Cheng, the old gentleman is not here." "Not here? Where did he go?" Cheng Zitong was a little surprised. Old Qian said, "Isn't it almost the end of the year's semester? Next is the new semester. The old gentleman has contacted Central City and is going to send the young master to Central City to adapt, so he took the young master to Central City a few days ago." "Oh... is Senior Brother a little too anxious? Why didn't he tell me in advance so I could see him off?" Old Qian said, "The old gentleman said that this semester is coming to an end soon, and Director Cheng, you are at your busiest, so there is no need to disturb you." Cheng Zitong sighed and said, "Senior Brother is really considerate of me. Okay, when Senior Brother comes back or calls, you must tell me, Old Qian, don't forget." Old Qian said respectfully, "Director Cheng, that is for sure." After hanging up the phone, he turned around, and Qiao Linhu was sitting there, surrounded by his students, with some luggage that had been packed long ago. He said, "Sir, Director Cheng has already said it." At this moment, he heard the sound of a car horn outside and immediately stood up, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go." With that, he strode out. His disciple immediately followed quickly. After Qiao Linhu got into the car, he waited until disciple and all the entourage were in the car and all the luggage was stowed away, then he urged in a deep voice, "Go, don't go through the main entrance, go from the back of the Academy." The way he was acting made the others very nervous. Those who knew knew that he was going to Central City, those who didn't know thought he was fleeing. Not long after his car left, before the Algae Oil smell had even dissipated, another car drove over and stopped at the gate of the residence. Cheng Zitong got out of it, took off Sunglasses, looked at the tightly closed and locked door, and said, "Hey, he's really gone. Well, I can't get a free meal." He looked into the distance and said loudly, "Senior Brother, have a good trip." His voice traveled far away with the wind. After standing here and looking for a while, he suddenly smiled, put on Sunglasses again, returned to the car, and turned around and left. The motorcade drove towards the city. When passing through city center, Chen Chuan glanced at the former site of the Molan CompanyBuilding. This building had obviously been remodeled. The exterior walls were all silver and metallic. The center was the Yuan'an Corp logo, which looked like a metal gear chassis with protruding ridge-like scales overlapping it. In the plaza, a metal sculpture was erected, with several supporting legs and what appeared to be folding armor covering the top. Ordinary people might not be able to tell what it was, but he thought it looked somewhat similar to the appearance of an Active Consciousness Entity. Chen Chuan stared for a moment, then looked at the top of the Building, and then withdrew his gaze. The motorcade drove under the plaza sculpture and into the Processing Bureau administrative building not far away, under the gaze of the armed personnel in the plaza.
