317: Chapter 317 It is indeed Huatong Chamber of Commerce

“Alright, let's put other matters aside for now. Since your people are in Batuo City, they will temporarily be under the command of the Military Region,” Yan Zhengping said.

“Commander Yan, this… alright. I hope you can speak a few good words for us in the Council and not pursue our responsibility for privately crossing the national border,” Niu Xingwang said.

“Understood.” With that, Yan Zhengping hung up the phone.

Yan Zhengping was not foolish enough to believe Niu Xingwang’s nonsense. He was very clear that this matter must have been instigated by Oriental Chen. Their trip to Ulan Country must have had another purpose, and it definitely wasn't to find some kind of treatment method.

However, it was inconvenient to contact Oriental Chen now, and there was no need to immediately press for answers.

He only needed to know the answer and a reasonable explanation.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhengping re-entered the conference room.

Everyone looked at him, awaiting his answer.

“It’s confirmed, it is indeed the Huatong Chamber of Commerce,” Yan Zhengping said.

“What? This Huatong Chamber of Commerce is simply acting recklessly! They privately crossed the national border without reporting to the Council. If they provoke an international dispute, can they bear that responsibility?” Liu Feiying immediately lashed out.

“Then Councilor Liu, please answer first, what exactly happened with Chairman Niu’s son?” Yan Zhengping asked him.

“His son? What does this have to do with his son?” Liu Feiying was stunned.

“Chairman Niu said that his son was found by you? And was used for human experiments? Is that true?” Yan Zhengping asked.

“This…” Liu Feiying glanced at Baili Ji, then sat back down and remained silent.

Yan Zhengping noticed this detail and looked at Baili Ji.

Baili Ji had only returned later and had no idea what was going on, so he frowned.

Yan Zhengping understood that this matter was probably not instigated by Baili Ji. If it had happened before, it was likely done by that impostor.

If that was the case, this issue was not suitable for discussion in a public setting.

“Let’s put this issue aside for now. Councilman Yan, what did the Huatong Chamber of Commerce say?” Baili Ji asked.

“The Huatong Chamber of Commerce agreed to temporarily place their people under our command,” Yan Zhengping said.

“Hmm, very good. Councilor Shen Tu, then the next action will be handed over to you,” Baili Ji said.

“Yes!” Councilor Shen Tu replied.

...

Batuo City, Wu La Han District.

A wingless anti-gravity aircraft arrived near the iron tower and slowly landed.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao knew that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce people had arrived and sent someone to bring them to the Command-in-Chief's office.

“Reporting to Commander, the people have been brought!” a Soldier reported from outside the Command-in-Chief's office.

The space in the Command-in-Chief's office was relatively small, so the group could only wait outside.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao heard the report and walked out.

“Commander!” A person saw Shen Tu Zheng Hao walk out, took a big stride forward, and excitedly shouted.

“You are?” Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked.

The person speaking unzipped his Combat Suit with a single button, revealing his face, stood at attention, saluted, and said:

“Reporting to Commander, Dai Zheng, former Captain of the Northwest Military Region Commander-in-Chiefs office direct subordinate Raptor Assault Team, reports to you!”

“So it’s you. When did you join the Huatong Chamber of Commerce?” Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked with a smile.

“Reporting to Commander, after the virus outbreak, I went to Binjiang to find my son and joined them by chance,” Dai Zheng said with a slightly awkward smile.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao was the person he respected most, but at this moment, he concealed a part of the truth. He hadn't actually joined the Chamber of Commerce, but rather Oriental Chen's base Special Operations Team. However, Oriental Chen's matters involved too much, so he had to conceal it.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao nodded and continued to ask:

“That iron tower was built by you?”

“Yes,” Dai Zheng nodded affirmatively.

“What is it for?” Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked.

“Commander, actually, I only have a partial understanding. One of our tasks when we came to Batuo City was to deploy this thing here,” Dai Zheng explained.

“Then the disappearance of the dung beetles, is it related to this iron tower?” Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked.

“This... I’m not entirely sure either, but I suppose so,” Dai Zheng answered shamefully.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao glanced at him, exasperated.

So he also knew nothing.

Dai Zheng certainly should be ashamed; he knew, but he just couldn't say.

Oriental Chen was worried that Dai Zheng wouldn't be able to control himself and would spill everything, so he specifically instructed him before they left.

According to Oriental Chen, saying the right thing at the wrong time often leads to the wrong outcome. The existence of nano-robots could not be disclosed, otherwise, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce would be completely boycotted, and the base would face immense difficulties in its development.

Currently, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce is at its peak, and the strength it has revealed has already made the higher-ups very wary. Fortunately, the products and services they have launched have always been standard and have always focused on people's livelihoods, so although people occasionally cause trouble, overall, things are looking good.

This time, Oriental Chen dispatched the Special Operations Team to Ulan Country with two real objectives:

Firstly, to investigate the truth behind the manipulated Rat Rabbit.

Secondly, to explore the true situation of Ulan Country.

He had a bold idea: to secretly occupy Ulan Country. But the prerequisite was that Ulan Country had already fallen.
