Chapter 186
Back on the thirteenth floor, Rong Yuan just came out of the elevator and saw the construction department employees going to the lower floors taking a detour and leaving from the side of the traffic management office as if they were avoiding the plague. Some of them even bowed to the other side, while others lowered their heads and pretended that they saw nothing and walked past quickly.
He looked in the direction everyone was avoiding and saw a burly man wandering there dejectedly with his brows furrowed, as if he couldn't figure out something.
It was Inmu, the chief of the Armed Fighting Department.
But at this moment, he did not look as domineering as he did the day he attacked the Supervisory Department. Instead, he looked like a large dog that couldn't find its home, a little confused and a little pitiful.
At this moment, Yin Mu looked around unconsciously and saw Rong Yuan. He looked away and then immediately looked back, pointing at Rong Yuan and yelling, "Ah~ You are that... that who!"
He walked towards Rong Yuan quickly, and there was immediately a large empty space around Rong Yuan.
For ordinary people, they do not hate and fear the General Manager of the Fighting Department as much as they do the General Manager of the Supervision Department, but they do not want to get too close to him. After all, the Fighting Department manages the public security of Liukasao and punishes various illegal activities. Few people can honestly say that they are innocent and have never done evil. Therefore, if they are noticed by such a General Manager, it is not a good thing for ordinary people.
Keep a distance, that is the attitude of most people.
Some people actually wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with him, but when they saw Yinmu's ferocious face and sharp eyes, they immediately backed off and dared not approach him.
Of course, there were other reasons why they expressed their fear and rejection so obviously at this time.
Yin Mu first glanced at Rong Yuan. Because he was going to send Mu Teer to the eighth floor, Rong Yuan was wearing casual clothes. He frowned, but did not dwell on the details and said directly: "I remember you, you are the inspector of the Supervision Department, right?"
"Yes." Rong Yuan nodded and said, "Master Zongsi has a good memory."
"Can you come with me for a moment? I have something to ask you." Yinmu said in a low .
Rong Yuan could see that he actually wanted to appear kinder and more approachable, but because of his natural appearance, he looked threatening instead.
Two inspectors wearing full-body Inspection Department uniforms just came down from the upper floor. They saw Yin Mu talking to Rong Yuan with a hostile look from afar, and they got angry and rushed over quickly. One of them stood in front of Rong Yuan, and the other stood in front of Yin Mu.
"Why, Master General, do you think that our Supervisory Department is easy to bully? Do you have something else to teach me?"
The man who stopped Yinmu said this sinisterly, his murderous intent almost overflowing through his armor.
Rong Yuan recognized that this man was the one who had recruited him to the Supervisory Department. He also remembered that his name seemed to be Ao Hengchuan, but Rong Yuan had been in the Supervisory Department for some time and had never met him.
The other person was none other than Leslie. He turned his head to look at Rong Yuan. The voice coming from behind the visor was a little muffled. He reminded, "My Supervisory Department is not afraid of anyone, even if he is the Director-General. If someone bullies you, just use your sword to cut him! Don't be afraid of offending anyone. Lord Todd will take care of the matter for us."
Rong Yuan nodded, but Todd's cold face suddenly flashed through his mind.
[If something unfortunate really happens, we can only blame their bad luck. ]
"No, I'm not here to cause trouble this time."
Yinmu looked at the two people who were like a hen protecting her chicks, sighed, and said bitterly: "I want to see Todd, but your Supervision Department rejected my request for a visit, and I can't even get through the passage."
As soon as he stepped onto the escalator, countless black gun muzzles appeared above, below, left and right, and the implication of rejection was obvious.
He forced himself to take two more steps forward, and suddenly all the gun muzzles began to turn red, and made a low "buzzing" sound as they stored energy. It was obvious that if he took one more step forward, they would open fire!
The construction department staff who were also at the traffic management office at the time were terrified by this scene , screaming and running for their lives, fearing that they would be beaten to ashes in the next second. Other construction department staff also heard about this incident from the internal work group. They didn't know what kind of conflict had occurred between these big guys, and they didn't want to understand at all. As long as they didn't become cannon fodder in their fight, it would be fine. Therefore, although Yin Mu was forced to retreat from the escalator later, everyone still avoided him as far as possible, fearing that they would be implicated if they were not careful.
"The reason why Master Todd cannot see you is because he is seriously injured and is still receiving treatment in the hospital. Who is responsible for all this? Do I need to remind you again?"
Ao Hengchuan said sarcastically.
Yinmu looked embarrassed and a little guilty. Although he knew that the unknown Sijian in front of him was actually talking nonsense, with the medical technology on the spacecraft, Todd's injuries would only take three or four days to heal, and he should be able to move freely by now. But it was obvious that the Supervisory Department was very resentful of his previous actions. In this way, even if he entered the Supervisory Department, he would not get a good result.
But this man was very well-mannered. Even when he was mocked in person by an ordinary judge, he did not scold or get angry. He just remained silent for a while, then sighed and said:
"I came here... actually to say sorry to Todd. I was too impulsive last time. I think there are other reasons behind the death of Dr. Shan Antai. I was wrong to beat him without asking clearly. Also, the Supervision Department has previously exposed many people in my department who violated laws and disciplines. I want to thank you. And... I have caused trouble to everyone because of my poor management. I am really sorry."
He half bowed earnestly, his eyes dim and his tone sincere.
Ao Hengchuan and Leslie were both stunned.
In the minds of many adventurers, Liukasao is a mobile paradise and a paradise of freedom. But the residents of Liukasao know that this is actually a place with extremely strict hierarchy. What people of different classes can do, say, receive, and hold are actually determined before they are born, and there is little mobility between classes. Therefore, the two could draw their swords against Inmu, and even kill him under Todd's order, but they couldn't imagine him apologizing like this.
Leslie almost subconsciously wanted to return the greeting, but was glared at by Ao Hengchuan and quickly stood up straight.
Ao Hengchuan stood calmly in front of Yinmu, not moving his feet until he saw him stand up. Then he said, "As your subordinates, we dare not interfere in the matter between you and Master Todd. As for the arrest of your fighting department last time... it's great that you understand. It's just that we are doing our duty, so it's not a big deal. You are too kind."
As a member of the Supervisory Department, no matter how sincere the man in front of them behaved, as long as Director Todd showed no intention of reconciliation, they would always stand firm and clearly oppose him.
But Ao Hengchuan didn't realize that his tone had actually softened a lot.
Yin Mu didn't take it seriously. He had always known how difficult it was to get along with the people in the Supervisory Department. But when he wanted to say goodbye, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then... I'll take my leave first. Also, please tell General Manager Todd what I said."
"Of course, you go first."
Ao Hengchuan took a step back and stretched out his hand, signaling Yin Mu to go first. He and Leslie just blocked Rong Yuan behind them.
The three of them waited for a while at the entrance, and then entered the elevator one after another. Leslie, who was walking last, patted Rong Yuan lightly from behind, signaling him to go back earlier.
In the minds of Ao Hengchuan and others, although they do not understand Todd's decision to recruit an ordinary employee from the maintenance department into the inspection department, they have always supported any decision of Todd unconditionally and without question. Everyone thinks that they are seniors who have received professional training since childhood, and although Rong Yuan has some specialties in swordsmanship, he is still a newbie who knows nothing compared to them, so he naturally needs their care and protection. Not only the two of them, even some young supervisors in the inspection department who are several years younger than Rong Yuan also regard themselves as seniors everywhere, and often do not forget to guide and take care of him. Sometimes Rong Yuan feels that in their eyes, he is as ignorant and naive as a toddler who has just learned to walk, and he feels helpless in his heart.
In the elevator, no one spoke a word, as if they had turned into statues, not even one person sat down to rest. Fortunately, when the elevator reached the twelfth floor, Yin Mu left.
Leslie breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Soji Inmu gives people a strong sense of oppression! Senior, you were too bold just now! I was really afraid that he would punch me!"
Ao Hengchuan snorted coldly and said, "Let alone being beaten, even if I die there, I can't let Lord Souji lose face. But you, pay more attention when you go on missions with Muzhe during this period, and don't let him and certain people see him alone."
"That's right." Leslie sighed, "Azhe suddenly came into our department from outside. I wonder how many people are targeting him! We have to keep a closer eye on him."
Ao Hengchuan said nothing. He was not as blindly trusting of "Muzhe" as Leslie was. But... no matter what, as long as "Muzhe" did not show any signs of betraying the Supervisory Department, he would be his colleague and comrade-in-arms, and no one could bully him!
But what the two didn't know was that Rong Yuan didn't go back to the headquarters directly as they thought, but waited for a while at the passage, and when the next elevator opened, he went in and stood behind many construction department staff. He looked at the surveillance camera on the elevator and saw the red indicator light flashing slightly, which was a sign that all the surveillance cameras here were under Alpha's control.
Rong Yuan smiled slightly, and when he walked out of the elevator, his appearance had changed.
The 12th floor is the headquarters of the Liukasao Medical Department. In the center, you can see many white jade-like, unique and lovely buildings. Liukasao has also transplanted many ornamental plants from the original planet to decorate the place, which looks peaceful, harmonious and beautiful. In addition, many ecological simulation buildings have been built around, and many precious medicinal plants are planted, or various rare birds and animals are raised.
There is a bright side, but there is also a dark side. In a corner of this floor, there are a lot of messy small shops with neon lights that almost blind people. There are shops selling fake medicine, artificial limbs, medical serial numbers, organs, etc. There is even a one-stop funeral service, which can be regarded as well-considered.
Rong Yuan took a quick look, walked through the crowded and noisy crowd, squeezed through the narrow shops and the messy goods displayed in front of the door, and it took him some time to find a small shop called "Veteran Breakfast Shop". There was a sign outside the door saying "Temporarily closed".
Rong Yuan pushed the door open and went in. This was a small, dim shop, with walls blackened by smoke. At least half of the menu on it was not legible. There was a lot of grease on the tables, chairs and floor, and the fast food production robot in the window was also covered with rust, like a scrap product picked up from a garbage dump.
Rong Yuan really didn't know who would buy breakfast in a store like this.
An old man with only one arm was standing behind the counter. He was slowly wiping the table with a pitch-black rag. When he heard Rong Yuan coming in, he said without even raising his eyes, "Sir, our shop is closed today."
Rong Yuan said directly: "I'm here to find Yin Mu."
The old man looked at him, then looked into the window, then threw down the rag, lit a cigarette for himself, and pushed the door open to go out.
Rong Yuan looked through the equally grimy window and saw him squatting on the steps outside, not caring about his image at all. A wisp of light smoke was floating up in front of him.
Yin Mu walked out from behind the window and was stunned when he saw Rong Yuan.
Rong Yuan pressed his left arm, retracted the camouflage clothing, revealed his true face and said, "It's me."
Yin Mu nodded in relief. Optically invisible or camouflaged devices are not uncommon, but the ones he had seen in the past did not seem to be as sophisticated as the one used by the man in front of him. There was no flaw at close range or during movement. If used in lurking or fighting...
Yinmu thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt a little sad. He was no longer a general of the Republic of Bei'an. No matter how good this camouflage suit was, it was useless in his current position.
Thinking of this, Yinmu lost interest and did not want to ask Rongyuan about the mimicry clothes. He said directly: "You sent a message asking me to find a safe and secluded place to meet. Is there something important you want to tell me?"
At the 13th floor passage, Yinmu suddenly received a bracelet number from Rongyuan. The two added each other as friends, but Rongyuan only said that he had something very important to tell him, but he also said that it was not safe to talk directly on the communication network, so the two agreed to meet at this place. Until this time, Yinmu was still confused and didn't know what it was, but because he also wanted to ask Rongyuan about the cause of Shan Antai's death, he still did it.
Rong Yuan smiled and said, "Let me tell you some of the truths hidden by the Fighting Department. "
