Two days later, New Year's Eve.

Amidst the gradually falling snowflakes, the lively crackling of firecrackers sounded outside the house.

In the warm house, my aunt and her family were sitting around a table full of food, chatting while eating, while a festive New Year program was coming from the radio nearby.

It's a bit regretful that my cousin Nian Qian, because he followed the army to perform missions on overseas islands last year, can still only send one telegram back this year.

After dinner, Chen Chuan walked out, put his hands in his pockets, and stood in the yard, looking up at the falling snowflakes and the colorful fireworks dancing and twinkling in the sky.

Although the scenery in the central city is dazzling and gorgeous, even if it is close at hand, it seems to be peeping into another world, and these fireworks that flash by from time to time allow him to feel the fresh life and life through these.

A breath of truth.

"Cousin, cousin, let's set off firecrackers."

Chen Chuan watched the two little guys running out of the house happily. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, cousin will take you to play."

Amidst the noisy sound of firecrackers, the ninety-fourth year of the founding of the Republic of Dashun passed by.

After the Chinese New Year, many subordinates came to Nian Fuli's house to pay New Year's greetings, and even the relevant bureaus called ahead to pay New Year's greetings.

But this is mainly because of Chen Chuan. After all, Chen Chuan is now one level higher than him in terms of job rank. Although they are not in the same system, there are still some rules that cannot be ignored.

After the third year of junior high school passed, and after accompanying Nian Fuli and passing by all the close colleagues and friends around him, Chen Chuan came to Instructor Wen to pay New Year's greetings.

Instructor Wen is not a native of Yangzhi, and his family is not here. The bureau usually assigns a sweeper to cook and handle housework for him, so that he can have more time to give guidance and train the inspectors.

However, during the Chinese New Year, he was the only one at home, and when he entered the yard, he seemed a little deserted.

When he arrived in the living room, Chen Chuan handed over the gift he brought: "Instructor Wen, this is brought to Instructor Wen by a student from Central City. It's disrespectful."

The techniques taught by Instructor Wen were of great help to him, so when he came back this time, he also prepared some gifts for him, mainly some high-end tea sets from Central City and some protective equipment for fighting.

Instructor Wen took it with a smile, "Thank you." He put the gift aside, turned around and took out a can of tea, made two cups of tea, and placed one cup in front of Chen Chuan.

"An old friend of mine grew this by himself. It has a calming effect. You can take a jar back later."

"Thank you, instructor."

After sitting down, Wen Tong said, "How many days do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"

Chen Chuanchuan: "Go back before the new semester in February."

Instructor Wen said: "Someone came to Yangzhi some time ago to inquire about your news. The customs office specially said hello and asked me to pay attention to it, but no one has come since then."

Chen Chuanchuan: "Thank you, Instructor Wen, and thank you to the Customs Bureau for taking care of me. These people are indeed here for me, and part of them has been solved so far."

Instructor Wen smiled and said: "Some weeds will not disappear by themselves when they grow there. It is only comfortable to see them eradicated."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Instructor, I understand."

Instructor Wen glanced at him a few times and seemed to feel something, but was not sure yet. He muttered: "Have you taken any special medicine?"

"Yes."

Instructor Wen nodded and said: "As expected, it seems that you should have participated in defense missions." He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The changes in the world are not something we can control, but we can control them.

Own.

At this stage of fighting practice, you are about to face the most difficult level. If there is no threshold from the first level to the third level, as long as you have enough resources and talent, you can cross it. But if you want to go up, it is not so

It’s easier because there is a real pass here.”

He looked at Chen Chuan: "You can't get through this just by relying on your original talent."

Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly.

Instructor Wen said at this time: "Wait for me." He stood up and walked into the back room. After a while, he took out a handwritten booklet and handed it to Chen Chuan. He smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry yet.

Turn it over, and when you know how to go, you can take it out and read it."

Chen Chuan took it. This thing reminded him of the booklet He Xiaoxing gave him. It looked very similar. He immediately realized that this might be something circulated within the Purity Sect.

However, since Instructor Wen asked him not to look at it now, he had his own reasons, so he put it away first and solemnly thanked him.

After sitting with Instructor Wen for a while and drinking a cup of tea, he took his leave.

He had a lot of people to visit this New Year. Teacher Cheng Zitong had already called him. There were people hosting banquets everywhere during the New Year. He might not have time until after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so he decided to go to Director Lei first.

After the New Year, Director Lei will take up a position in the Central City Esoteric Cult Review Bureau, and then the two of them may be able to go together.

After returning home, he got into a Garde car and came out of the family area of ​​the patrol bureau. He drove all the way to Director Lei's residence amid the sound of firecrackers on both sides.

Because we had contacted each other over the phone during the New Year greetings, as soon as the car stopped in front of the mansion, the door opened from the inside, and Director Lei and Sister He walked out holding Xiao Ying.

Chen Chuan got off the car, and they exchanged greetings at the door before entering the house together.

After they sat down, He Nan went to pour them tea, and Director Lei said, "Do you still remember the case half a year ago?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Remember."

Director Lei said: "Soon after I submitted the case, someone came to warn me and tried to suppress the matter. I had already expected this and reported it to the superior through secret channels. This matter lasted for several

It won’t be considered stable until the year before.”

Chen Chuanchuan: "Lei Ju said at the time that there might be Yang worshipers in the country, and they might have a high status."

Director Lei said in a deep voice: "It's higher than I thought before."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "It didn't affect Director Lei, did it?"

"Things went quite smoothly. This person has been secretly captured. The higher-ups didn't want to make this matter a fuss, so there was no clear verdict and they just used another excuse."

Director Lei shook his head and said: "In this period, the more something involving a cult is publicized, the more people will follow it. This solution seems to be the best at present."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "The callback in Central City should be because the cult problem in Xiacheng District has become more and more serious, and many foreign forces have infiltrated into it, and it is time to have to deal with it."

At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly had the feeling that the purpose of transferring Director Lei from above did not seem to be that simple, but rather to deal with something.

He said: "I wonder when Mr. Lei will take up his post?"

Director Lei said: "We will arrive at the Tantra Bureau before late February, but I will leave early because some things need to be handled in advance."

Chen Chuanchuan: "Then Director Lei will go with me then?"

Director Lei looked at him and said, "Okay."

At this time, Senior Sister He came over with snacks. She said angrily: "Old Lei, we rarely see each other during the Chinese New Year, why do we only talk about business?" Then she greeted Chen Chuan, "Junior Brother Chen, this is the candied date and white fungus soup I cooked. Drink it."

Drink and watch.”

Director Lei smiled and said, "It's been a long time since you tasted Senior Sister Qi's craftsmanship."

Chen Chuanhua: "I have never forgotten the meal I had when I came here last time." He picked up the white fungus porridge and took a sip. He felt that it was extremely sweet, thick, smooth and refreshing, and he couldn't help but nodded, "

Senior sister’s craftsmanship is nothing to say.”

After drinking, they no longer talked about official matters, but talked about Chen Chuan's recent experiences in Central City. However, he had signed a confidentiality agreement about the blending place, so he did not mention it.

And given Director Lei's level and the matters involved, he will probably know about it soon after arriving in Central City.

He sat here until noon, had a meal with Director Lei and his family, agreed on a date, and left.

After he got out of the car, he drove toward the west of the city until he came to the downstairs of the residential building where Wei Dong lived. After parking the car, he came upstairs, knocked on the door and said, "Weidong, it's me."

"Coming!"

A thumping voice came running over, and Wei Dong opened the door. He looked very happy to see Chen Chuan, and he was obviously eager to try, and he seemed to want to fight again.

But after he glanced at Chen Chuan for a few times, he suddenly became discouraged and said honestly: "I can't beat him."

Chen Chuan smiled. He just released a little space, and Wei Dong noticed it. His intuition was still so good. He walked into the room and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wei Dong scratched his head and said, "I'm going to Central City after the new year. These training tools are here and it's hard to maintain them. I'm going to wipe them down and seal them up."

In fact, he didn't use the tools that the old man left behind much after he started training. After he became an official fighter, they were almost only used as souvenirs. However, he still kept them here and wiped them when he could.

maintainance.

Chen Chuanchuan: "Let me help you."

He helped Wei Dong pack up a few pieces of equipment, but Wei Dong suddenly raised his head, with strong fighting spirit in his eyes, "No, Brother Chen, I still want to fight you once!"

As he spoke, he raised his bandaged fist.

Chen Chuan gently reached out and pushed, and Wei Dongren flew out, crossed a room, and then hit the wall behind him heavily.

There was a boom that seemed to be heard throughout the building.

After a while, Wei Dong shouted and rushed out from inside again, but the next moment, he flew back again without any suspense.

Chen Chuan put down a protective hood and picked up a gripper to wipe it.

Next, Weidong shouted and rushed out of the room again and again, but each time he was beaten back before the sound ended.

Ten minutes later, Wei Dong lay sprawled on the ground, grinning, hissing and sucking in the cold air.

Although his horizontal skills were strong, Chen Chuan's fists were not just simple attacks, but also contained a penetrating force that caused pain everywhere in his body.

Chen Chuan just wiped the last thing at hand, put it aside, and said to Wei Dong on the ground: "Brother Wei, there is progress."

Wei Dong lay down for a while, rubbed his head and back, sat up, and asked, "Brother Chen, can I learn what you just used in Central City?"

Chen Chuan smiled: "It's possible, but you and I have different paths. I think it's better for you to continue on the path of Henglian."

Wei Dong sat here for a while, and within the time of these few words, the pain in his body subsided and he became more lively again. He touched the center with his two fists and said, "I think so too! Brother Chen, look at it, I can definitely do it."

Follow you."
