Chapter 56 Organization
Of course, Jiang Chen, who was at the foot of the mountain, was unaware of the commotion happening on the mountain.
After descending the mountain, he reached an area near the street and began to hail a taxi.
Normally, it would be difficult to hail a car in this location, but he didn't know if it was luck or a coincidence; just a few seconds after he started trying, a car accepted the order.
However, when he saw the familiar license plate number, a strange expression appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
Soon, the car stopped in front of Jiang Chen.
When the driver saw Jiang Chen, he was also somewhat speechless.
"The world really is small, we've met again, huh." The driver said somewhat sullenly.
This driver was none other than the one who had driven Jiang Chen here this morning.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Driver, please don't take any unnecessary detours this time; let's stick to a flat rate."
As soon as Jiang Chen mentioned that incident, the driver felt like crying.
After dropping Jiang Chen off here, his car didn't have much battery left.
It was hard to even find a charging station in this place, so he had to find a local household and run an extension cord out to charge it.
After charging for five or six hours, seeing that it was almost ready, he came out to take orders.
Well, he ended up picking up Jiang Chen again!
"Rest assured, I didn't know the way before, but I know the way now. I won't make the same mistake again."
This time, it took the driver just over an hour to efficiently deliver Jiang Chen to the city center.
Jiang Chen didn't go straight back, but instead planned to go to the hospital to see how Lu Xingye was doing.
Arriving at the hospital, he walked familiarly to the outside of the intensive care ward, where he happened to see a man dressed in black, wearing a baseball cap, enter the ward with a bouquet of carnations, only to come out again shortly after.
Jiang Chen and this man crossed paths, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Because this man was not an ordinary person, but a Cultivator!
Although his cultivation level wasn't high, only around the Middle Stage of the Qi Induction Stage, Lu Xingye had previously only been a Night Watcher, and his family had no connections to the 749 Bureau or any noble families.
For a Cultivator to come and bring him flowers at this moment was clearly suspicious.
However, Jiang Chen didn't intervene. As long as this person wasn't a threat to Lu Xingye, it wasn't his place to interfere with what others did.
Jiang Chen walked into the ward and saw Lu Xingye's mother still there, taking care of him.
After Lu Xingye was moved out of the ICU, he hadn't woken up, and now his mother was mainly responsible for taking care of him.
"Hello, Auntie, how is Xingye doing?" Jiang Chen placed the flowers and fruit basket he had bought on the way aside and asked.
"Little Chen, you've come again, and you brought so many things. I'll thank you on Xingye's behalf. It's his good fortune to have a colleague like you."
"But you don't need to come so often; it delays your work. You police officers are already busy enough."
Lu Xingye's parents still didn't know that their son worked in the Night Watcher department of the 749 Bureau, not at some police station.
"It's fine, Auntie. It's my good fortune to have a colleague like Xingye." Jiang Chen said sincerely.
While speaking, Jiang Chen quietly slipped a Talisman under Lu Xingye's blanket.
"By the way, Auntie, what was that person who came by earlier here for?"
He saw the flowers placed by Lu Xingye's bedside.
Lu's mother said with some confusion, "I don't know either. He just said that he was also Xingye's colleague and came to bring him a bouquet of flowers, then left right after."
Jiang Chen was thoughtful. This person was definitely not Lu Xingye's colleague, so the purpose of him bringing flowers was worth pondering.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Jiang Chen saw that the effect of the Talisman was already starting to take hold.
So he didn't stay any longer and bid farewell to Lu's mother.
After walking out of the ward, Jiang Chen discovered that the man hadn't left yet.
"Jiang Chen, I know you." The man spoke, directly calling out Jiang Chen's name.
Jiang Chen's expression didn't change, and he said calmly, "So, you came to bring flowers to Lu Xingye just to wait for me?"
"Yes and no." The man replied.
"I do know Lu Xingye, but that was a long time ago. So when the organization asked someone to contact you, I volunteered to come."
Organization? Jiang Chen's heart stirred.
"To contact me, what is your purpose?"
"You graduated from a prestigious university, but after graduation, you joined the Night Watchers, which shows that you are also a person who hates evil with a passion."
The man didn't directly answer Jiang Chen's question, but instead turned to talk about his past.
"Later, because of Zhou Ming's negligence, Lu Xingye took the blow for you, and so you furiously killed Ma Dajiang."
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; this person actually knew so much.
This could only mean that the 749 Bureau was harboring a traitor.
"Coincidentally, our organization is full of people like you, all determined to change this filthy world!"
When speaking of this, the man's face showed a look of fanaticism.
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered what Captain Xu Chang had said earlier about Zhou Ming being attacked and killed while being escorted.
To be able to attack and kill someone in the custody of 749 Bureau members, the strength of the attacker was naturally extraordinary.
Could it be from this organization?
"So, what is the strength of your organization's leader?" Jiang Chen asked.
This question was obviously very sensitive; even this man didn't answer Jiang Chen directly, but instead said ambiguously:
"Our organization's leader... he is a true god!"
When saying this sentence, a trace of uncontrollable fanaticism appeared on the man's face.
"In short, he is omnipotent. Wherever there is justice, our organization is there!"
The man's tone was low, but he was somewhat excited, causing his body to tremble.
This is a fanatic without a self; this was the evaluation Jiang Chen made of this man in his heart.
Usually, he looks very normal, but when it comes time to show loyalty, he will unhesitatingly do everything the leader tells him to do.
Just like some current extremists, wearing black robes, holding homemade bombs, who can fearlessly charge into a crowd.
"That auntie downstairs is sweeping the street; if you go and help her sweep, I will believe you."
The man: "..."
For a moment, he was silent.
Then after a while, he suddenly turned around, and under Jiang Chen's surprised gaze, went downstairs and out.
Immediately after, under the terrified gaze of the cleaning auntie, he snatched her broom and dustpan and began sweeping vigorously.
"You, do you like me? If you like me, why didn't you tell me? If you don't tell me, how would I know?" The auntie asked.
"..."
This time it was Jiang Chen's turn to be speechless.
He didn't expect that a casual remark he made would be taken so seriously by this guy.
Sure enough, only people with such simple minds are more easily controlled as fanatics.
Jiang Chen now actually believed a little bit of what this man had said earlier about wanting to cleanse the filth of the world.
But Jiang Chen also knew that he was him, and his will did not represent the will of the organization's leader.
It is very likely that these words are just tools used by this leader to manipulate people's hearts.
