When Chen Mo set off for Levin City, the lioness also started taking action. She was alone and not as careless as Kadajin, so she needed help.
At present, the strongest helper the Lioness can think of is of course Lao Bai, and the Baishi Group must also know about Chen Mo's actions.
The Pinghai task force was trained by Ivanov, and there were a few fierce men like Shen Shi in charge. There was no need to worry about it. In addition, she was worried about communication security, so the lioness drove back to Cote City.
After describing the information brought back by Kadajin and the situation Chen Mo faced to Lao Bai in detail, Lao Bai dropped all the work at hand and summoned Bai Yuchen and Chen Feiqi for a meeting.
Since he became a civil servant and died in battle, Bai and Chen, one civil and one military, were gradually absorbed into the core interest group by Lao Bai because of their excellent work ability and foreign affairs handling.
At this time, the two got involved in a lot of Baishi's business, and became Lao Bai's right-hand man instead of Chen Mo and Meng Ren who were away all year round.
Regarding internal affairs issues, Zheng Qiuhong also gradually got on the right track under the leadership of the lioness. The White Stone Bar has established a foothold in the best section of the bustling New H District Commercial Street and restored water and power supply.
Lao Bai raised the price of drinks and renovated the interior. The new decoration no longer uses the low-cost Nordic style. Zhang Dantong, who volunteered to be responsible for the decoration, chose the wabi-sabi style that is more suitable for the current White Stone Bar in terms of texture and atmosphere after several comparisons.
Reinforced matte tile floors, textured art paint walls, solid wood tables and chairs, and old pine shelves.
The suspended ceiling is high, the door stacks are arched, the niches are smooth and slightly rough, and the corners are wrapped in solid wood instead of skirting lines.
Tranquil tones, withered textures, unpretentious and unconventional beauty. Just one look at it brings you a sense of tranquility.
Nie Bo sifted through the bar's playlist, which focused on jazz, blues and classical music. After consulting Chen Feiqi, he purchased a batch of antique record players and old brass objects.
If the previous White Stone Bar only had the lively atmosphere of a quiet bar on the home planet, now the White Stone Bar can be regarded as a rather stylish medium-sized bar even if it is placed on the home planet.
The new villa area that Lao Bai pre-purchased in Hex is under construction and is expected to be delivered in more than a month. Everyone will no longer live in a cramped life on the third floor of the bar.
But for office convenience, Lao Bai still retains two offices. One is his own, and the other was taken by Chen Feiqi when he was away.
This research was of great importance, so Lao Bai chose his own office with soundproofing packages and signal shielding lead sheets.
Putting the Kadajin information copied by Lioness on the chopping board, Lao Bai motioned to Bai and Chen to read it carefully. Bai Yuchen was the first to read it, frowning and thinking deeply.
Not long after, Chen Feiqi also finished reading the document and looked at the lioness in disbelief: "Is it an internal problem within the Corps?"
"Judging from the documents, it is like this." The lioness nodded: "But what is more important is to find out the initiator and executor of this matter and the people behind them."
"There is no doubt that this matter was done by members within the Corps." Bai Yuchen relaxed his brows: "But it is difficult for me to analyze the motives behind this."
"Yi Neng will benefit him." Chen Fei shook his head: "There are many people who would give up for five buckets of rice, not to mention betraying the interests of the corps, and naturally they will get more things."
"No, there is something wrong with the underlying logic. Why and how should the underlying logic be done, not why it is done." Everyone present had question marks on their faces.
"First of all, if he wants to betray the corps, he definitely can't do it on his own. If he flies in, he must at least be cleared by border guards. If he comes in by teleportation, the problem will be even bigger... Although I don't understand the basics of teleportation. But if coordinates can be calculated with location, all wars will turn into beheading battles. Obviously this is not the case, so I think Xu Tiegong lied about this matter, and he must be an insider." Lao Bai and his mother The lions looked at each other and nodded silently.
"So, this brings us back to the underlying logic I just mentioned. First why, then how." Bai Yuchen changed the topic: "Assuming that the upper management of the Corps... tentatively assumes that Xu Tiegong is an insider, what is the starting point? This is why .I can’t figure out the starting point of the Corps.”
"Is it possible that the people below did it without telling Xu Tiegong, and when Xu Tiegong found out, Xu Tiegong had to swallow his anger because of the influence of other corps forces?" Bai Yuchen shook his head.
"Absolutely impossible. If it was done by other power groups, Xu Tiegong would never miss the opportunity to suppress other power groups. Especially for such a matter of colluding with foreign enemies, not to mention impeachment... at least the other party will have to bleed a lot to reach a settlement. Therefore, what I don’t understand now is Xu Tiegong’s motives. The original mining was completed at the urging of Governor Xu. Governor Xu was very close to the Corps, and Xu Tiegong was the popular figure of the Corps Commander. Xu Tiegong must have contributed to this matter. Now , if Xu Tiegong helps Yi Neng, he will blow up the mine, which will be of no benefit to him or the Corps." Lao Bai rubbed his chin and listened to Bai Yuchen's analysis.
"So, this is the underlying logic problem I'm talking about. It doesn't make sense, so of course there's nothing to do. The reasoning doesn't make sense, so I can only work backwards, seize the executor, and then move up step by step." The whole room was gone. movement.
It sounds simple to say, but the people to be arrested are likely to be confidential officials within the Donghuang Corps. Behind the executors may be more terrifying people and deeper entanglements of interests... Otherwise, why didn't even Xu Tiegong take action to eliminate dissidents?
Lao Bai thought for a long time and finally put down the pipe in his hand.
"This matter ends here, no more details."
"This..." The lioness was stunned. She came back for help. Although she and Chen Mo did not have a superior-subordinate relationship, and there were not many emotional entanglements between men and women, the lioness never thought of rejecting Chen Mo's request.
Moreover, this matter is of great importance...it is very likely that the moths in the Donghuang Corps will be brought out. Not a small insect, but a giant rat.
Furthermore, this is also an explanation for the hundreds of thousands of miners who will always be buried underground in the mine. The lioness couldn't figure out why Lao Bai ended up saying this.
"Commander, why?"
"There are too many things involved behind the scenes. This matter has gone beyond the scope of our intervention." Lao Bai stood up from his seat, holding on to the armrests: "I will ask Chen Mo not to delve deeper." What Bai Yuchen wanted to say was blocked by Lao Bai Raise your hand to stop.
"That's it, the meeting is over."... It's night. The White Rock Bar is brightly lit. Even if the price of drinks has been repeatedly raised, it has not stopped people's enthusiasm for consumption.
Nowadays, everyone comes to the bar to drink, not just because of the high quality and low price, but also to gain a sense of presence in front of Chen Feiqi, the agent of Baishi Group.
Of course... there are very few people who really need Chen Fei to sell his face. Lao Bai no longer handles matters in the bar personally, and is currently looking at documents in the office.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Bai Yuchen secretly opened the door and entered. Lao Bai made Bai Yuchen laugh.
"It's my own place, no problem."
"I'm not worried..."
"I've asked Yan Chenggong to screen the surrounding area. There's no problem." Lao Bai gestured to Bai Yuchen to sit down: "Continue to talk about what you didn't finish during the day." Bai Yuchen then sat down.
"I think this incident is likely to be a self-directed and self-acted trick by the Corps, and Yi Neng is just the one who fell into the trap." Lao Bai nodded and motioned for Bai Yuchen to continue.
"After thinking about it, I haven't come up with any reason why Xu Tiegong could betray the interests of the Corps. Excluding all impossible situations, the answer, no matter how unreasonable, is the only answer." Bai Yuchen said with great certainty: "I think that the mine The explosion was a bitter ploy made by the Corps to deal with internal differences. Just imagine, the explosion in the mine can not only unify the voices within the Corps, unite with the outside world, but also gain a firm foothold in reputation."
"Well..." Lao Bai tilted his chin and nodded.
"Originally, Zhongbei's private mining operations are contrary to common sense in the world, both emotionally and rationally. If the Yi Neng Association wants to investigate further, it will be difficult for both the Corps and the Governor's Office to gain a firm foothold. But if the Yi Neng Association is allowed to step in, Creating a mine explosion, especially in this explosion in which 100,000 miners died in the flames, is completely different." Bai Yuchen clasped his hands in his fists and kept pressing his knuckles in front of his chest, as if the truth he discovered made him He was under great psychological pressure: "Taking a step back, Zhongbei has let other places see the consequences of private mining, and has seen the fierceness of Yi Neng Hui's revenge, and will not follow suit easily. Taking a step closer, if Yi Neng Hui dares to pursue the case, the Corps can definitely Playing offense as defense, breaking the news to the world that irradiation energy will blow up mine veins and cause countless casualties... The irradiation energy association will face public opinion pressure that is a hundred times more serious than the private mining in the north and south. Therefore, the irradiation energy association can only give up." Seeing Lao Bai, he remained calm. , Bai Yuchen continued: "This is a hidden killer move, aimed at Yi Neng. It's just...the miners in those mines..."
"Okay." Lao Bai interrupted Bai Yuchen.
"The truth is often crueler than imagined, and the worst-case scenario is far from that."
"What?"
"If it's a bitter plot, it's more likely to be a trap set up within the Corps."
"..."
"How does Yi Neng know the coordinates of the mine? And how does it know that any Corps members will agree with their idea?"
"this…"
"The corps is so big. If he has contacted many people, how can he not worry about leaking secrets?" Bai Yuchen's pupils shrank sharply.
"This, this, this..." Lao Bai smiled reluctantly: "Besides, something big happened at the same time." Bai Yuchen recalled.
Suddenly I felt a little suffocated.
"Boss...you mean...Governor Xu was assassinated..."
"So, let's stop this matter. If we really dig into it, who will be blamed in the end if we don't protect everything." Bai Yuchen was stunned for a few seconds before sighing deeply.
Lao Bai looked down at the prosperous new H area.
"Now, what I'm thinking about is how to tell Xiao Mo." Bai Yuchen also fell silent. Chen Mo is different from his boss, different from the lioness, and different from anyone who would choose to compromise.
He dared to shoot at the inspector with the determination to die, he dared to chase the murderer thousands of miles to the high mountains, and he dared to shoot Lin Ping during the live broadcast.
Faced with a stagnant situation with no hope of hope, will the young boss compromise? Bai Yuchen didn't know. Even Lao Bai doesn't know.
