Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 724 - 512: [Nie Dun No.6]
The battle was spectacular, and Xiaoga Yexiong was carried back afterward.
For several hours after the duel had ended, almost all employees in the Confederation headquarters building hardly worked, instead engaging in animated discussions about the battle.
Aviloya was dissatisfied but also felt helpless about this situation. It was just like in Chen Gu's previous life: if the whole company were soccer fans, you couldn't expect them to focus on work during the World Cup, could you?
Those lucky enough to witness the battle in person knew more details and vividly described them to their colleagues. Apparently, before Senior Rainbow called a halt to the fight, Xiaoga Yexiong had been kept airborne for over half a minute, unable to fall. It wasn't that he had leaped into the air himself; rather, Captain Chen's continuous blows had kept him suspended there...
Still, someone at the Seventh Energy Level was truly formidable. An ordinary person battered like that would have been gasping for breath long ago. However, when Xiaoga Yexiong finally fell and was carried onto a stretcher, he was still able to grunt a few times, not having lost consciousness completely.
"But isn't it rather unfortunate not to lose consciousness at such a shameful moment? To clearly remember everything you've suffered?" a sharp-witted individual suddenly remarked. His colleagues were stunned for a moment, then nodded in profound agreement. Even their team leader thought this individual possessed a unique perspective and a keen mind, deeming them worthy of nurturing!
The most discussed topic was how Captain Chen, despite failing his first attempt, had immediately made a second one—and succeeded!
Inside the Confederation headquarters, the eyes of quite a few lonely, older single women shone brightly. "You all heard it, didn't you? Captain Chen admitted it himself—he's 'built solid'…" It was enough to make anyone's imagination run wild.
The leaders of the various Action Teams collectively sighed in admiration, "Such terrifying physical conditioning! Captain Chen truly is a role model for us all!"
At this point, Chen Gu had learned that everyone was calling him "Captain Chen" and Chen Jixian "Old Captain Chen." Things were completely backward! He clearly should be "Old Chen," and that prodigal, unfilial son should be "Little Chen." What a tragic disregard for proper seniority!
Regardless, Chen Gu had defeated Xiaoga Yexiong, so now all the cases previously snatched by the Independent Action Squad had to be reclaimed!
The Sanhime had gone to take care of their young master. The remaining members of the Independent Action Squad dared not refuse to acknowledge the situation, so they obediently returned the files Chen Jixian had previously transferred to them to Chen Gu.
Chen Gu got hold of these files and glanced over them, but the little demons in his office were too excited to care about the cases. They lined up, playing 'follow the leader' like a train, weaving through the corridors and shouting, "Celebrate, celebrate! Party, party!"
The ruckus continued until the end of the workday. Selena, being quite popular, even called over Qing Ruyan and Senior Rainbow.
With Senior Rainbow present, there was naturally no need to worry about arrangements. She had arranged everything: the most luxurious booth in Capital Star's hottest nightclub, with a continuous stream of fine alcoholic beverages and other drinks, allowing the little demons to truly go wild.
However, Senior Rainbow still stuck to drinking her yogurt.
The commotion lasted until the early hours, after which everyone finally dispersed.
Rainbow stopped Chen Gu. "You drive me back." Chen Gu drove her to her mansion on the Floating Island. On the way, Rainbow said, "Keep an eye on that case on Planet Nie Dun No. 6. The Director-General and I both feel there's something unusual about it."
"Okay, I'll take a look as soon as I get back," he responded.
Planet Nie Dun No. 6 was a remote planet discovered years ago by Nie Dun, a famous explorer of the Confederation. It was one of nine colonial planets in the system, all named after him.
Because it was in a remote area, it should have fallen under the jurisdiction of the Special Action Squad according to previous assignments. However, the case was reported by a Xiaogasa Family enterprise. Chen Gu was unaware that this was the very case Xiaoga Yexiong had intentionally suppressed, planning to use it to cause trouble.
On the road, Chen Gu switched to autopilot and began to seriously read through these documents.
Although remote and sparsely populated, the nine Nie Dun colonial planets all had rather unique geological structures, making them highly promising in the Confederation's assessment. It was speculated that new resources might be discovered there in the future.
Nie Dun had married a daughter of the Xiaogasa Family, so there were many Xiaogasa Family enterprises on these planets.
This particular case occurred at a garment factory that had received special orders to produce star-field protective suits. For the past few months, raw materials had been continuously stolen, but the culprit remained elusive.
Each time, only the raw materials for the protective suits were stolen. These "thieves" clearly had a specific target. The warehouse also contained other, more valuable materials, such as gemstones for embellishing high-end garments, but they left those untouched, taking only the suit materials.
After reading through the documents, Chen Gu still had no immediate leads. The case certainly had suspicious elements, but what could have drawn the attention of both Aviloya and Senior Rainbow? He decided to ask the two senior figures about it the next day.
When the car was about to reach his home, Chen Gu suddenly received a call from the principal. "Come stay at the school for a while."
The principal didn't elaborate, but Chen Gu felt a warmth in his heart. He knew the principal was worried about his safety.
Chen Gu, always heedful in such matters, promptly changed his destination and headed back to the school.
Chen Gu considered his situation. He had certainly made quite a few enemies lately. The biggest uncertainty, of course, came from the Star State. Aviloya had made an "informal visit" to the Star State on his behalf. While it was undoubtedly satisfying to give them a taste of their own medicine, after they'd been so publicly humiliated, how could they possibly not retaliate?
