Chapter 109
The old man, who took over Chu Yunsheng’s aunt’s house, was extremely anxious. He had been living in this housing estate for quite a while, he knew what kind of person Boss Bai was. Boss Bai might not be the kind of person who liked killing people, but he was definitely not a good person.
This area was his territory, although he hasn’t stepped out of line before, everyone that lived here, even his son, who worked for the General Research Department (GRD), also did not want to offend him in any way. Every week they also had to pay a security fee to exchange for safety.
The world was in a mess, the police force was useless, those dark warriors were often not scared of guns. The only people that could control them were dark warriors themselves. Troops were busy defending the city outside, they didn’t have spare soldiers to look after every corner of the city, they only focused on some important areas. That was why the General Command Headquarters (GCH) would allow those groups to exist.
Since his son got into the GRD, they no longer worried about the food problem anymore. His family was finally able to settle down after they moved into the house that his son exchanged using food.
Apart from paying the security fee to Boss Bai, and having some refugees broken into the building stealing stuff from them and having some dark warriors broken into the building to rape some girls a few times, no other bad things had happened to them.
Originally, he thought that this young man, who broke into his house with two dark warriors, was there to have some fun. That was why he locked all the female family members in the bedroom.
But he didn’t expect that this guy was just here to look for his relatives.
However, when he saw that Boss Bai also couldn’t do anything to this guy, he knew that he was in big trouble. If this guy wanted to get the flat back, they would not be able to do anything to stop the man from getting it.
Having a house in Jin Ling city was extremely important to them. Although they could use food to buy a house, it did not mean that the house in Jin Ling city was worthless. Before they had a flat, they were sleeping on the street, and the danger of sleeping on the street was that coldness could easily take their life away at any time. Moreover, who knows what else could happen to them during the night time. Some people even woke up finding that their kids had disappeared.
They had no way to store food as well. No matter how much food they were getting, they had to finish it quickly, otherwise, those starving people would not hesitate to kill them for food.
Only a flat would make them feel safer, only a flat would make them warm. Although that flat was not very big, there was a roof to shelter them, and they didn’t have to worry about their food being taken away. At least, the weak people wouldn’t be able to break in and harm his family.
The old man was extremely anxious, he did not know what to do. In his mind, he was having two contradictory thoughts at the same time.
On one hand, he was hoping that this guy wouldn’t be able to find his relatives, so they wouldn’t get the flat back from him. On the other hand, he was worried that if this guy could not find his relatives, he might take the anger out on them. He might even kill all of his family members to vent his anger.
But Chu Yunsheng did not give the old man too much time to think. Soon, they arrived at the General Research Department.
Before they drove near the GRD, they were stopped by the patrol that consisted of regular soldiers that were equipped with assault rifles and a few dark warriors. If they wanted to carry on driving forwards, they would need to show them the pass. Otherwise, they would be killed if they wanted to break in.
“What’s your son’s name? What position? And which department?” Chu Yunsheng turned around and said sternly.
“Ah!” the old man was startled. His anxious thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Chu Yunsheng.
“His name is Chéng Bǐngwén, he is an information collector, working under the new food research department. This is all I know,” the old man mumbled reluctantly.
“Lao Duan, you are familiar with the people here, take those stuff with you and see if you can bribe someone to pass a message for us!” Chu Yunsheng said. He was worried that those guards would not be interested in regular food, since they had enough food supply from the GRD, so he prepared a bag of cigarettes, chocolate, and candies. He even got them a bottle of expensive alcohol. Those were all luxury products. Everyone inside the van was shocked when he took them out.
Alcohol has already become extremely rare stuff in Jin Ling city. Any one of those things would be worth several human lives.
“Okay, I’ll try, but cigarettes and candies are more than enough, you can take back other things,” Duan Danian swallowed very hard. God knows for how long he had not tasted any alcohol. Those things were usually taken away by The General Command Headquarters (GCH) in the name of stocking them as the strategic materials.
Duan Danian took the cigarettes and candies and circumambulated the GRD a few times, then he came back to them, “I’m sorry brother Chu, they have three people in a group, and three groups in a squad. They are always switching positions. So I can not talk to them privately.”
Chu Yunsheng gazed at the heavily guarded area and started to think for a solution. He could not use force, because he did not have the ability to fight the entire army, he couldn’t talk to them either. What could he do now?
“Brother Chu, I got an idea, it would be better if you can get your rank test done first, with your ability, you can totally get the highest rank. After you get the document from the Dark Warrior Headquarters (DWH), you can easily get into this place, DWH opens 24 hours, we can go there right now.” Sun Qian suggested.
This was also a solution, however, it was not the solution Chu Yunsheng wanted. He was very worried about his aunt’s safety at the moment, he wanted to find her as soon as possible. So he asked the old man, “normally, what time does your son finish his work?”
“I am not sure, sometimes, if he is busy, he won’t come home until three or four days later, so I don’t really know. Because he is working for the GRD, we are not allowed to ask him anything about the job details,” the old man nervously replied.
“It seems that going to Dark Warrior Headquarters is the only way now,” Chu Yunsheng said quietly. But just when he was about to get back into the van, he saw two military SUVs stop next to his van, one of the SUVs had a plate written “General Research Department – The Special Rank” on it. An officer got off the SUV and showed the guard a pass.
After the guard did the routine check, he saluted him. At the same time, a few other soldiers behind immediately came out to move the arm barriers.
Through the SUV windows Chu Yunsheng suddenly noticed a familiar shadow, he could not help but approach the SUV.
“Please stop there!” the window was rolled down, behind the window was a security guard, who was wearing a helmet, and he was pointing a gun at him. Nowadays, everyone was extremely vigilant. If it weren’t for the fact that there was a group of dark warriors behind Chu Yunsheng, that security guard would not even say please.
The arm barriers were lifted up already, and the cars slowly drove inside, Chu Yunsheng finally saw who that man was. He was Professor Sun, who was protected by Du Qishan’s 218th regiment. “Professor Sun! Professor Sun, wait!” within that split second, Chu Yunsheng shouted out loud.
Duan Danian and other people were shocked that they saw the SUV that had a special rank plate really stopped and It was driving back slowly.
Then an old man got out of the SUV. He was also wearing a badge that was similar to the Dark Warrior Badge, the only difference was that his symbol was a galaxy and it was written GRD Special Rank!
Duan Danian almost stopped breathing. He had only heard of those special rank people before, but never actually got to see one, those people were the most influential people in Jin Ling city, it was not someone they could see easily.
At the same time, the old man Cheng’s face instantly went as pale as a ghost. ‘It’s over… This guy even knows a person from the top level! What his son is doing cannot even talk to those people!…. It’s over…’
