546: Chapter 546 Come Back After Learning

“Today I called you here because there is a matter I need you to handle,” Old Qin said.

“Please instruct, Chief!”

“I know you have contact with Niu Xingwang, the former Chairman of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. I need you to contact him and secretly acquire a batch of equipment,” Old Qin said.

“…” Shen Wengang didn't know how to respond.

He didn't know if Old Qin was trying to trick him into revealing something.

“You don’t need to worry. The matter behind this is very complex, and it’s not convenient to discuss it now,” Old Qin added.

This matter involved a wide range of issues, and Shen Wengang had no authority to make a decision alone, so he contacted Oriental Chen through his Digital Eye.

However, Oriental Chen was unreachable at the moment.

In his anxiety, he could only contact Niu Xingwang.

“Tiangang, what’s the matter?” Niu Xingwang was also in a state of agitation and wasn't in the mood for pleasantries.

“I might be exposed. The Speaker knows my identity,” Shen Wengang said.

“Find an opportunity to withdraw,” Niu Xingwang replied.

“I can’t withdraw now. I’m in the Speaker’s office. They want me to contact you to secretly procure a batch of equipment. I can’t determine if there are any other motives behind this,” Shen Wengang said truthfully.

For half a minute, Niu Xingwang did not reply.

Old Qin saw that Shen Wengang was silent and did not press him.

“Is the security guaranteed?” Niu Xingwang asked after a moment of silence.

“The security should be fine,” Shen Wengang replied.

He believed that Baili Ji had no intention of detaining him.

“Then talk to him. Since your identity is already exposed, whether you admit it or not doesn't make much sense. However, maintain control,” Niu Xingwang replied.

“Alright, I understand,” Shen Wengang answered.

“Chief, I don’t quite understand. Now that the management rights of the Chamber of Commerce have been nationalized, why do we need to procure equipment from Chairman Niu?” Shen Wengang asked.

“As I said, this matter needs to be conducted in secret, and the fewer people who know, the better,” Old Qin replied.

“Alright then, what equipment do you need? I’ll try to contact him,” Shen Wengang relented.

“It’s not what I need, it’s what you need,” Old Qin said.

“Huh?” Shen Wengang was completely bewildered.

“You will go to the Ulan Neutral Zone and arm the entire Azure Bird Squad to the teeth. Especially the operation methods of the mechs, learn them before you come back. Tell Niu Xingwang that all expenses will be covered by the Council,” Old Qin said.

“…Yes!” Shen Wengang breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good, pay attention to secrecy in your actions. In a while, a transport plane from the Chamber of Commerce will head to the Ulan Neutral Zone; you will sneak in quietly. I must emphasize that this is not an official deployment, and there is no pass. Once you leave this door, we will not acknowledge the existence of this deployment mission. Do you understand what I mean?” Old Qin instructed.

“Understood!” Shen Wengang nodded.

This meant that once exposed, no one would back them up.

If caught, it would be a charge of treason.

Of course, if the Azure Bird Squad could be easily caught, then they wouldn't be suitable for subsequent missions either.

Evidently, through the Sand People incident some time ago, Oriental Chen had given Old Qin a very clear hint.

Since the Sand People only attacked members of the Moni Sect, and Old Qin’s archaeological team suffered heavy losses more than a decade ago.

Combining these two events, it was easy to draw a conclusion: the high-level officials of China had been infiltrated by the Moni Sect, and the infiltration rate was quite high.

Such a high proportion meant that among the people around them, there was a high probability of Moni Sect members.

As for who was and who wasn't, how could that be clearly investigated?

Don't forget, the archaeological team's incident happened more than a decade ago, which meant that the Moni Sect's infiltration had not been a recent development.

It was like sugar and arsenic had been put together and thoroughly mixed in water.

Trying to completely separate the two was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

By conventional methods, it was simply impossible to achieve.

Furthermore, Oriental Chen hadn't told him that there was a backdoor program in human DNA, and anyone could be a potential Moni Sect member.

This was simply a dead end.

Apparently, the only way was to completely eliminate the remaining Sirius survivors.

But this was almost impossible to achieve.

The robot had said that the survivors on the moon were discovered by chance.

As for whether there were any elsewhere, who knew?

Therefore, if there was no way to completely erase the enemy, then taking action rashly would most likely end in failure.

So, when there was no certainty, no one dared to easily stir this water.

Although Old Qin did not know this information, he faced a similar situation.

The reason why Oriental Chen's people were considered the most reliable was precisely due to this consideration.

The infiltration rate in the official teams was too high; trying to rely on them to dig out cult members was probably wishful thinking. Besides exposing the plan and even alerting the enemy, there would be no other result.

Although there might be hidden cult members among Oriental Chen's people, Oriental Chen had a complete monitoring system. Everyone's behavior was exposed to the light, making it much safer in comparison.
