#546 - Chapter 546 Come Back After Learning
"I've called you here today because there's something I need you to do," Old Qin said.
"Please give your instructions, Chief!"
"I know you have connections 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 this was a test.
"You don't need to worry. The matter behind this is very complicated, and it's not convenient to discuss at the moment," Old Qin added.
This matter was far-reaching, and Shen Wengang was not authorized to make decisions alone, so he contacted Dongfang Chen through his digital eye.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Chen was currently unreachable.
Anxious, he could only contact Niu Xingwang.
"Tiangang, what is it?" Niu Xingwang was also in a state of turmoil and in no mood for pleasantries.
"I may be exposed. The Speaker knows my identity," Shen Wengang said.
"Find an opportunity to evacuate," Niu Xingwang replied.
"I can't evacuate now. I'm in the Speaker's office. They want me to contact you to secretly procure a batch of equipment. I can't judge whether there might be other motives behind this matter," Shen Wengang said truthfully.
Half a minute passed, and Niu Xingwang didn't reply.
Seeing that Shen Wengang wasn't speaking, Old Qin didn't urge him.
"Is there any guarantee of safety?" Niu Xingwang asked after a moment of silence.
"The safety should be fine," Shen Wengang replied.
He believed that Bai Liji had no intention of detaining him.
"Then talk. Since your identity has already been exposed, whether you admit it or not doesn't matter much. However, be careful," Niu Xingwang replied.
"Okay, 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 you need to find Chairman Niu to purchase equipment?" Shen Wengang asked.
"I've said it before, this matter needs to be carried out in secret. 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.
"Ah?" Shen Wengang was confused.
"You guys go to the Ulan Neutral Zone and arm the entire Bluebird 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 paid by the Parliament," Old Qin said.
"... Yes!" Shen Wengang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, be careful to keep the operation secret. The Chamber of Commerce's transport plane will be heading to the Ulan Neutral Zone in a while, you guys quietly sneak in. What I want to emphasize is that this is not an official dispatch, nor are there any passes. Once you leave this door, we will not acknowledge the existence of this dispatch mission, do you understand what I mean?" Old Qin instructed.
"Understood!" Shen Wengang nodded.
This meant that once they were exposed, no one would support them.
If they were caught, it would be the crime of treason.
Of course, if the Bluebird squad could be easily caught, then they wouldn't be suitable to continue with subsequent missions.
Obviously, through the Sandman incident some time ago, Dongfang Chen had already given Old Qin a very clear hint.
Since the Sandmen only attacked members of the Mani Church, and Old Qin's archaeological team suffered heavy losses more than a decade ago...
Combining these two things, it's easy to come to the conclusion: the high-level officials of China have been infiltrated by the Mani Church, and the proportion of infiltration is quite high.
Such a high proportion means that among the people around him, there is a high probability that there are Mani Church members.
As for who is and who isn't, how can that be clearly investigated?
Don't forget, the archaeological team's incident happened more than a decade ago, which means that the Mani Church's infiltration has not been a matter of just one or two days.
It's like sugar and arsenic have been put together and fully mixed in water.
To completely separate the two is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Relying on conventional methods is simply impossible to achieve.
Moreover, Dongfang Chen hadn't told him that there were backdoor programs in human DNA now, and everyone was a potential Mani Church member.
This was simply a dead knot.
It seemed that the only way was to completely eliminate those Sirius survivors.
But this was also almost impossible to achieve.
The robot had said that he had accidentally discovered the survivors on the moon.
As for whether there were any in other places, who knew?
Therefore, if there was no way to completely erase the other party, then rashly taking action would most likely end in failure.
So, without any certainty, no one dared to easily touch this cup of water.
Although Old Qin didn't know these details, he was facing a similar situation.
The reason why Dongfang Chen's people were the most reliable was precisely because of this consideration.
The infiltration rate in the official team was too high. Wanting to rely on them to dig out cult members was probably wishful thinking. Apart from exposing the plan and even startling the snake, there would be no other result.
Although there might also be hidden cult members among Dongfang Chen's people, Dongfang Chen had a complete monitoring system. The behavior of everyone was exposed to the sunlight, so it was relatively much safer.
