Chapter 235 Changing Mindset

More than ten minutes later.

Watching the security guards and cleaners being escorted onto the spacecraft.

Chen Ming shook his head in annoyance and said, "Zuo Jing is really disgusting."

"This is not the first time you've heard of this."

Bai Quan suddenly walked to Chen Ming with a gloomy expression and said this.

Chen Ming turned around and asked, "What happened?"

"The result is just as you saw, Zuo Jing."

"I'm already preparing to deploy new security measures, and your security will be entirely in our hands."

"But even so, the source of the shipment cannot be fully guaranteed."

"We'll have to set up a transfer station near your dome, and all the stuff will have to go through the transfer station before it can come to you."

"Although it will be a bit troublesome, it's better than having problems every day here."

Chen Ming waved his hand and said, "Security is unnecessary, just withdraw the security company, I I will be responsible for the security of the dome."

"Can you handle it?"

Chen Ming immediately took out a palm-sized iron-red gamma core from his coat pocket: "They can help me deal with these things."

Bai Quan glanced at Chen Ming's still bulging pockets, then retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, I'll help you arrange it later."

After Bai Quan agreed, Chen Ming put away the core and continued to ask him: "What should we do next about Zuo Jing? We can't just take this loss, right? Do they have a base or something?"

"Revenge against Zuo Jing doesn't make much sense, because in normal times When we find the traces of the left-handed ones, we will basically clean them up immediately. "

"If we don't clean them up, then we plan to use these left-handed ones for fishing, or to investigate the network behind them. These left-handed ones are not easy to kill. At least we have to wait until the whole line is cleared before killing them."

Chen Ming said with a little dissatisfaction: "It means that the left-handed ones are either solved or still useful. They didn't relieve my anger, right?"

"Yes, like the cleaner you just caught, we can't kill him either. We have to use him to get all the left-handed ones behind him."

"And the left-handed ones are only on the surface. Problem, in fact, this matter is not just about Zuo Jing. "

In Chen Ming's unexpected look, Bai Quan explained: "Because under normal circumstances, it is really not so easy for Zuo Jing elements to get into the army. Someone is definitely deliberately relaxing the restrictions on Zuo Jing."

However, Chen Ming did not continue to listen, but made a stop gesture to Bai Quan and said: "Let's not talk about the internal problems of the 14th Corps. I have one request now."

"If you find clues about Zuo Jing along the path of the cleaner, tell me and I will deal with them personally."

Bai Quan clearly felt the chill in Chen Ming's words.

"It seems that you are really disgusted by Zuo Jing, but you can do this once now. There are still many places where people who are affected by Zuo Jing suffer and you can't see them."

"At least I see this now."

Seeing Chen Ming's firm attitude, Bai Quan had nothing to say: "Well, I will tell you when there is a clue."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and turned the topic back to what Bai Quan had just said: "The people who let Zuo Jing make trouble will not be the same as the previous ones?"

Bai Quan did not give Chen Ming a definite answer at this time: "It's not easy to be sure about this, it's a high probability."

"Then how do you plan to investigate this time? It won't be the same as last time, taking down a few insignificant little people, and then the people at the top will have nothing to do, right?"

Chen Ming's tone was a little aggressive because of what happened just now, but this was the fourth time after all.

Everyone can't help but get angry.

But Bai Quan just sighed now.

Although Chen Ming has arrived at the branch of the 14th Corps, and there are actually signs that Chen Ming is going to join the 14th Corps.

With Chen Ming as a backup, it is not too difficult for him to continue to stand firm after he gets promoted.

But the subsequent struggle with others cannot be accomplished by relying on the convenience brought by Chen Ming's joining.

Even now, Bai Quan is still unclear about how to exert the influence of such things on the top leaders of the opponent.

He also tried some counterattacks, but they were all blocked by the opponent.

The methods of those who confronted him were much more skillful than him, and they would not leave any traces of their own.

All counterattacks can be said to be completely meaningless.

Bai Quan could not find the opponent's weakness, but the opponent kept targeting his weaknesses and constantly trying to blacken his career.

This made him feel like he was walking on a tightrope.

"I'm not sure."

Since Bai Quan said so, in Chen Ming's estimation, this matter would most likely end up in vain like the last time.

After all, the culprit was Zuo Jing, and letting Zuo Jing in was just a work mistake of some people at the lower level.

And the people at the lower level received the punishment they deserved, which had nothing to do with the upper level.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming sighed again.

This is the limitation within the rules.

Some people are familiar with the rules, while others are very unfamiliar with them.

And those who are familiar with the rules can often play with those who do not understand the rules without breaking the rules.

It is already frustrating enough for him to have a prosthesis here. If he were here in person, Chen Ming didn't know if he could bear it.

Fortunately, his goal is definitely not to stay in the empire for a long time. He must build a place outside the empire that makes him feel comfortable.

Moreover, Chen Ming has already seen Zuo Jing's badness. He certainly can't tell Bai Quan to retaliate in the same way.

In addition, his experience and knowledge in politics are not even comparable to Bai Quan who transferred from the military, let alone giving any suggestions.

So now he could only say to Bai Quan: "I don't understand this kind of thing and can't help you, but if you need to use force, you can find me at will, I can guarantee that there will be no trace left."

"If you don't want to attack the top person on the opposite side, then you can find his trusted deputy or something like that, right?"

"They can target me on the surface but actually target you, and you can also target their people on the surface but actually target the top person."

Bai Quan was silent for a while and said: "Thank you, but goodbye."

Before having the force to fight against the entire 14th Legion and the entire empire, using force is definitely the most unwise behavior.

The 14th Legion has been using various methods and means to disgust him, but no one has ever dared to use violence against him or Chen Ming directly.

The last time the war zone dared to use violence against him, two lieutenants became prisoners, hundreds of lives were lost, and thousands of people were imprisoned.

This was partly due to Chen Ming, but Chen Ming was not considered within the rules at the time, and it was because the people in the war zone took the initiative to violate the rules that led to this result.

From here we can see the seriousness of violating the rules.

Bai Quan didn't want Chen Ming to break the rules and end up in the same situation as the war zone.

Although he knew very well that Chen Ming had such potential, and the empire was ready to impose some restrictions.

But at least for now, Chen Ming couldn't do this.

So Bai Quan could only dissuade Chen Ming and said, "Try not to do things outside the rules. I am still trying my best to do what I should do within the rules."

"At least the pilot on the spaceship has woken up. Although his consciousness is very vague and he has symptoms of amnesia, the clues that are most likely to affect the superiors on the opposite side still have to be found from him."

"The basis of the left-hand operation you caught is that the cargo ship hit the dome, and the basis for the spaceship to hit the dome is that the pilot took drugs. If the driver can get the drugs, it must have something to do with the legion."

"Things are linked together, let's see if there is any chance."

"I am now planning to find the drug dealer who gave the driver DP-2 first, and follow this clue to find the manufacturer of stimulants."

"The production of this kind of stimulant requires approval by someone, maybe there will be a chance."

Bai Quan left Chen Ming's dome on the spaceship soon after, with a full heart of frustration and all the clues.

When sitting in the seat in the spaceship, Bai Quan was still thinking about ways to break this unilateral situation of being beaten.

He is very uncomfortable now, uncomfortable because he can't find a way to fight back.

He knew that someone was always disgusting him, but he couldn't disgust him back.

It was because the opponent was in the headquarters. Although there were conflicts between factions within the headquarters, at least the rules were strict.

As for the branch, it was not just the external problems, but also the internal loopholes.

He felt that he needed time to repair the entire branch of the 14th Legion before he could consider external counterattacks.

Bai Quan gradually recovered from his meditation and immediately gave orders to his men.

His men quickly arrested the drug dealers in the army who sold drugs to the driver, and obtained the address of the drug laboratory that supplied the drugs.

This drug laboratory is located in a colony of a galaxy in a star zone in the back of the nearby Galo star field.

A colony specializing in the production of medical devices and medical drugs.

In addition to various production equipment, there are many drug laboratories here.

In order to obtain the convenience of the industrial cluster, the military drug laboratory was also built here, and a separate area near the core of an industrial park in the colony was selected as the site.

Bai Quan looked at the intelligence obtained by his men and suddenly felt a little familiar.

He immediately issued himself a search warrant for military facilities, and then asked the pilot of the spacecraft to change the direction of the spacecraft.

After a few hours of travel in the hyperspace channel.

Baiquan arrived at this colony specializing in medical treatment.

According to the address he found, he searched for his target in the science and technology park with dozens of soldiers.

As Baiquan searched more and more in the park, his face became less and less happy.

When Baiquan walked to the door of the laboratory, his expression was even slightly distorted because of anger.

Because this laboratory was a medical laboratory that he had personally sealed up before.

Baiquan had already remembered when he landed here, when he led the 14th Legion to clear out the military in the original star zone some time ago.

This place was sealed up by him because of smuggling, and he personally signed a warrant for the arrest of these drug laboratories and relevant persons in charge who were suspected of smuggling military drugs.

At that time, the boss behind this laboratory got himself out, but others were not so lucky.

So why is this lab now back in operation? Why is this lab still brave enough to open up again?

Bai Quan walked into the lab without saying a word.

The security guards at the door saw the star on Bai Quan's chest and the group of people wearing the uniforms of the 14th Legion behind him and did not dare to stop them at all. They could only inform the person in charge.

And just after he informed the person in charge, everyone in the lab was controlled by Bai Quan.

Bai Quan did not say anything, just waited.

A few minutes later, the head of the laboratory hurried over and nodded to Bai Quan, who was standing in the middle of the laboratory hall, and said, "Is this Lieutenant General Bai Quan? Thank you for your visit. This is..."

Bai Quan's cold eyes swept over the head of the laboratory, and in the head of the laboratory's fearful expression, he said, "A few months ago, I approved and banned a number of laboratories that sold drugs illegally, and this laboratory was on the list."

"Ah?"

Cold sweat oozed from the head of the laboratory's forehead. He subconsciously took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped it tremblingly, explaining in a weak voice, "I didn't know about this. When I came here, I saw that the laboratory had a research license and a production license."

"Where?"

"Shall I take you to see?"

"Let's go."

The head of the laboratory quickly took Bai Quan to an office in the laboratory, took out two pieces of paper of some quality from a locked counter here, and handed them to Bai Quan.

"Drug research license and drug production license, please take a look."

Bai Quan reached out to take it.

After looking at the license twice, the joints of his hand holding the license turned white because of too much force. Only in this way could he restrain the idea of ​​slamming his fist on the counter in front of him.

There seemed to be no problem with the two licenses, and the seal on them was still approved by the Fourteenth Corps.

Even Bai Quan could find the corresponding license file in the database of the Fourteenth Corps by checking the list on the license.

Bai Quan slowly turned his head and said to his subordinate who was following him: "Check who passed the application."

"Yes."

The subordinate quickly handed Bai Quan the information of a person and the record of the approval of the production license.

The person who approved this laboratory was a person who had just been transferred some time ago.

"Where is he?"

"He disappeared and was on the way to transfer."

The subordinate lowered his head to report to Bai Quan, not daring to look up at Bai Quan's face.

Because now if we talk about who is the biggest source of the problem of reopening this drug laboratory, it can even be said that Bai Quan himself.

This is a blame, and the other side even wants to put the blame on Zuo Jing's troubles.

The expression on Bai Quan's face suddenly returned to calm.

Over and over again, three times and four times, do they really think that people have no temper?

Earlier, Lou Wei suspected that Chen Ming cheated and insisted on forcibly verifying it.

This matter is not over yet, and another incident will come out immediately.

He did not enter the political arena through examinations and step by step to his current position. He fought all the way from the most dangerous and bloody battlefield to the major general before being arranged by his old boss to take this path.

It seems that someone has forgotten this.

At this moment, Bai Quan has abandoned all the "euphemistic ways and attitudes" that he has used in his current position during this period.

Someone really took advantage of him, right?

Bai Quan calmly put the search warrant directly on the table and issued an arrest order.

Although this laboratory has passed the approval, there is already evidence of illegal drug sales, and it is not a big deal to close the laboratory again.

Even if someone will make a fuss about the fact that a laboratory has been closed twice in a row, saying that he privately embezzled and accepted bribes, Bai Quan no longer cares.

Bai Quan's mind was now lingering with what Chen Ming had said before. He left the laboratory in silence, boarded the spacecraft, and stayed alone in the room.

He began to give orders to his confidants in some important positions.

However, just before he actually did something.

The terminal he usually used privately suddenly rang.

Bai Quan picked up the terminal, and when he saw the communication code, the expression on his face softened a little, and then he connected the video call from the headquarters.

The white-bearded lieutenant general who had talked to Bai Quan about Chen Ming appeared on the terminal, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"What do you want to do? What is your current identity? Can you do such an irresponsible thing?"

"I..."

"Think carefully and do what you should do."

Bai Quan was silent and speechless, and the aggrieved look on his face became more and more serious.

The old boss stared at Bai Quan for a long time, and there was a little bit of reluctance in his eyes, and finally chose to say a few more words.

"Think more about what others would do in your position, not what you would do yourself."

"You are not a politician, you are a soldier."

"But you know so many people, there will always be someone who knows what to do."

"But don't ask, you have to think about it, and only when you figure it out yourself can you know what to do in the future."

After the old boss finished speaking, he looked at Baiquan for the last time and hung up the communication.

Only Baiquan was left in the room holding his head.

"How can I figure it out, how can I think better than them."

Although the 14th Corps had undergone a reorganization more than 20 years ago.

But now, all the people of the same generation as his old boss have been in the political arena for decades.

He was just a transfer from the army, and his methods were too immature compared to theirs.

He knew this in his heart.

After the old boss called, Bai Quan gradually calmed down.

He actually knew that driving a warship directly to the door was definitely the stupidest thing to do.

This would only make him feel good, but it would not solve the problem, and it would even disappoint many people.

Moreover, there was a most critical problem. Even if he drove the ship out, who could he find?

There was more than one faction targeting him within the 14th Corps.

Everyone could see how fast he was developing now, and how solid the faction he inherited would be after Chen Ming's support.

So, anyone could target him.

And Chen Ming had been targeted four times since he came here.

Among these four targets, the first volcanic attack was basically confirmed to be Hu Yi.

The second mechanical failure was confirmed to be a problem caused by the 14th Corps, and he had already locked the target.

The third time he came was at the invitation of the government, but was it really the government that did this? He was not sure.

And the fourth time, it seemed to be Zuo Jing, but there was definitely someone inside the legion who acquiesced behind the scenes.

In fact, except for the first time when Hu Yi, a psychic, participated, all the other things would be impossible without the assistance or acquiescence of insiders.

This is not even just a problem of other factions of the 14th Legion.

There are also problems on his side.

Among the people who Bai Quan had stabilized some time ago, there are still many who are full of disloyalty.

No wonder when he went back to be promoted to lieutenant general, his old boss still had the same expression as when he saw him immature at the beginning.

This time he called and looked like he was disappointed with him.

He was very disappointed, disappointed with Bai Quan's approach.

Bai Quan suddenly became a little decadent again.

Although he looks bright and beautiful now, as the youngest lieutenant general in the empire in the past hundred years, he has attracted countless people's attention.

But only he knows the pressure in private.

Bai Quan suddenly took out a small bottle of stress-relieving medicine from his pocket, poured out two pills and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowing them dryly without drinking water.

No matter what, he had to think, and only thinking could solve the problem.

Many figures flashed through Bai Quan's mind, but he finally locked on Chen Ming, who was closest to him.

If it was Chen Ming, what should he do?

He did not think about how Chen Ming would think, but thought about Chen Ming's approach.

Because the problems Chen Ming encountered were similar to his to some extent, and even more terrifying.

He is still within the rules now, but Chen Ming once faced Yu Hui, who would not talk to humans about human rules.

However, Bai Quan could not directly substitute Chen Ming to think about his own affairs.

So he chose to substitute Chen Ming's perspective first and see how Chen Ming did things himself.

When Chen Ming was forced to run to Yu Hui's side, he was almost the same as he is now, with only the ability to barely resist, but no ability to fight back.

But Chen Ming's choice was not to desperately resist and fight back against Yu Hui, but to gain as much benefit as possible from Yu Hui's actions towards him under the premise of ensuring his own safety.

Even when Yu Hui wanted to use the device such as the Qiling Nerve Extractor to seize Chen Ming's Qiling Nerve.

Chen Ming knew what Yu Hui was going to do, but he also had no ability to resist, so his final choice was to let go and take advantage of the situation, and reversely seize Yu Hui's Qiling Nerve.

Forcing Yu Hui to continue to delay the time of seizing the Qiling Nerve.

Then he used his growth in Yu Hui's territory to fight back against Yu Hui and cooperate with him to complete the escape.

All the troubles and crises against Chen Ming were transformed by Chen Ming into the benefits he gained.

This is Chen Ming's way of doing things.

If Chen Ming's way of doing things is put on his side now, how should things be done? How will it develop?

It is definitely not possible to put Chen Ming directly in his current position. Chen Ming did not grow up in a military environment, and his understanding of the political environment of the empire is almost zero.

So he had to use Chen Ming's way of doing things, combined with his own ideas, to think about how to do this matter.

Bai Quan lowered his head and pondered.

Gradually, he seemed to have a goal, and his whole thinking seemed to be clear.

Chen Ming had the ability to turn the persecution from Yu Hui into his own interests. As a lieutenant general of the empire, why didn't Bai Quan have the ability to turn the persecution of people who were at most his level into his own interests?

He shouldn't think about solving this problem directly and thoroughly and then think about fighting back.

He shouldn't have such an idea.

He should extend the problem.

He should turn these events that originally only brought negative effects into events that he could gain benefits from in some way.
