Chapter 154: Chapter 0154: He Jianguo’s Plea for Help (Part 2)

After the class, Chu Feng went straight to He Zhen’s home, and sat there for a while before He Jianguo came back driving.

"Dad, Uncle!" As soon as He Jianguo entered the house, he hurriedly called out.

He Zhen said, "Something big must have happened to make you come back during work hours; talk to your uncle about it."

He Jianguo nodded and said, "Uncle, the reason I’m looking for you is actually related to the counterfeit money case last night."

When Chu Feng arrived, he had already guessed it, so he didn’t feel surprised.

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Tell me what happened?"

Immediately, He Jianguo explained the case and everything he currently knew to Chu Feng and his father.

According to the information He Jianguo currently had, this counterfeit coin factory was just one of many.

The four Scar-Faced men were following orders, their boss being an Eastern person named Ichiro. Furthermore, according to Scar-Face’s testimony, their organization might consist of more than just Ichiro, who was likely only responsible for East River.

They had different factories in other parts of the country, and their mass production of counterfeit money was intended to cause panic first. Then, gradually, they would infiltrate the market with these counterfeit notes, ultimately crashing the market.

Tens of billions might not collapse a market as vast as Huaxia, but if every major city in Huaxia had their strongholds and you add up those hundreds of billions, the resulting destruction would be truly terrifying.

"Hmph! It’s those Eastern people who are courting death again; you’ve been too lenient with them. If this had happened back in the day, Laozi would have caught and executed them one by one," said He Zhen angrily, slamming his hand on the table after hearing He Jianguo’s explanation.

He Zhen was someone who had survived from that era and held profound sentiments against these Eastern people.

He Jianguo was also furious and said, "Dad, if we could catch them, I would also love to execute them. We have used every method available, yet Ichiro seems to have vanished like steam. Moreover, we found the same symbol on the five Eastern assassins, which shows they truly come from a vast organization."

"Furthermore, we investigated the surrounding civilian housing and found the stronghold of those five Eastern assassins. In their residence, we discovered a large cache of weapons. We also found detailed maps of dozens of densely populated areas in East River. After our experts’ analysis, it is very likely they prepared these maps to carry out destruction, the potential casualties of which are unthinkable."

After a pause, He Jianguo continued, with clenched teeth, "Besides these, we also found the bodies of a family of five. These people are no better than beasts; they didn’t even spare the children!"

Hearing He Jianguo’s words, Chu Feng also clenched his teeth, feeling that those five bastards got off too lightly.

"Jianguo, how can I help you?" Chu Feng asked.

He Jianguo replied, "Uncle, this matter is no trivial issue. If not handled properly, it could cause unimaginable trouble, so I hope you can make contact with someone from Dragon Soul. See if you can have Dragon Soul investigate this. After all, our capabilities are limited, and I suspect that someone inside our ranks has been corrupted."

"Clang!"

He Zhen slammed the teacup in his hand down onto the table and cursed, "The Eastern people are despicable, but these traitors are even more so. Such traitors should be caught and executed by firing squad. The punishment they’re receiving now is far too light!"

After having cursed to his heart’s content, He Zhen turned his wrath towards his son, saying, "How are you even performing your duties as City Party Secretary? These kinds of people have surfaced in your ranks, and you had no idea. If this isn’t negligence, what is it!"

Seeing He Zhen getting more and more agitated as he spoke, Chu Feng quickly interjected from the side, "Brother He, after all, Jianguo is managing nearly ten million people in East River, how could he possibly cover every base? Now that the issue has surfaced, there’s still time for us to remedy the situation."

After he finished speaking, Chu Feng dialed Huang Lan’s number.

Worried that Huang Lan might say something that would leave him unable to save face, Chu Feng initially did not turn on the speakerphone.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, he heard Huang Lan’s languid voice tinged with a hint of seduction, saying, "Little fellow, what’s prompted you to think of your sister? Are you feeling lonely and bored, coming to seek some fun with your sister? I’ve been feeling rather itchy myself lately."

"Ahem, ahem!" Chu Feng cleared his throat twice and said, "Sister Lan, I’m contacting you today with serious business. An unusual counterfeit currency case was cracked yesterday in East River, and I wanted to discuss it with you."

Huang Lan, upon hearing it was a serious matter, immediately became solemn and said, "Go ahead."

Chu Feng then turned on the speakerphone so that He Jianguo could communicate directly with Huang Lan.

After hearing what He Jianguo had to say, Huang Lan was silent for a good while before responding, "Secretary He, this matter is no small issue. Give me five minutes; I must report this to my superiors."

"Alright!" He Jianguo agreed in a single word and waited quietly.

Five minutes later, Huang Lan picked up the phone again and said, "Secretary He, I’ve reported the matter, and after our investigation and comparison, it appears that this is the work of an organization called the Elite Society, orchestrated by Eastern and some Southeast Asia countries."

Huang Lan did not explain what the Elite Society was, but upon hearing it, He Zhen became instantly furious, exclaiming, "That damned Elite Society has resurfaced! What have you been monitoring?"

Well aware of He Zhen’s stature, Huang Lan replied in embarrassment, "General He Zhen, indeed this is our oversight. However, the international situation in recent years has been complex, and there are many matters beyond our control."

He Zhen was also aware of the changes that had occurred internationally over the past thirty years, and indeed, comparisons to his own era were no longer valid.

After a pause, Huang Lan continued, "Secretary He, I will soon send over all the data we have on all East River officials to Chu Feng. He will then pass the data to you. Any official who has issues will be marked on the data. Our suggestion is to hold off on taking action against them but to keep a close watch, trying to draw out the people behind them."

"Okay! I will cooperate with your work," He Jianguo said.

After briefing He Jianguo, Huang Lan started to instruct Chu Feng, a part that naturally didn’t require He Jianguo to listen in.

"Chu Feng, you’ve done well again this time. If it hadn’t been for your chance discovery, we really wouldn’t have known that the Elite Society has infiltrated so deeply. According to what we have and our analysis right now, the Elite Society probably has not truly expanded nationwide yet. Their stronghold is likely centered in East River and several other areas that were once occupied. So, I hope that you can assist Secretary He in wiping them out," Huang Lan said.

After another pause, Huang Lan added, "The Elite Society may also have some connection to the incident with your older brother. I hope that if you discover anything, you can manage to restrain yourself. After all, you’re now a warrior, and you have to think about issues from an overall perspective. I hope you understand this point."
