Chen Gu returned to the meeting room used as a temporary office, and all the situations had been summarized. However, most of them were bad news.
The Spirit Ring Group is spread across various planets of the Confederation, and they are influential figures in their local areas. During the capture operations executed by the local branches of the Bureau of Mystic Security, situations such as leaks and resistance to law enforcement inevitably occurred, and genuinely successful captures were less than thirty percent.
Those who escaped will be a primary focus for the Bureau of Mystic Security for a long time to come, inevitably causing a series of troubles.
Among those who escaped was Fanmier.
Chen Gu single-handedly retrieved Fanmier's information, becoming somewhat lost in thought.
The ideology of the Spirit Ring Group is very clear, so aside from the Soul Project, there are projects such as the Ark Project, the Eden Project, the Reboot Project, and so on.
However, these are unrelated to Chen Gu himself. Of course, what Chen Gu is most concerned about is Fanmier.
"I will personally capture him!"
Chen Gu carefully recalled those photos, then tried hard to search through his memories, but couldn't remember anything at all.
Oddly, there aren't many missing memories of the original body, leaving Chen Gu quite puzzled: Why is it like this?
Yang Gaoyong walked in: "Captain Chen, we've gone through the entire review. Wuzhaoyin City's second prison indeed has severe corruption crimes; the entire prison's management, from top to bottom, is completely rotten."
"There are three types of black money income inside the prison: The first is bribes given by the inmates' relatives from outside."
"The second, which was exposed by Yu Maosheng, involves secretly releasing some special felons to perform specific tasks like murder."
"The last involves forcing some of the weaker prisoners inside to voluntarily become volunteers for experimental projects, used to test new drugs, new treatment methods, etc. - Yu Maosheng was originally targeted by them to be developed into a volunteer, which is why the prison bully always bullied him."
Chen Gu asked: "What about the matters concerning the Spirit Ring Group and the Soul Project?"
"Others are unaware of these matters; they only know to carry out Guo Daoqian's orders and wait for their share of the money every month when it's due."
Chen Gu nodded: "Conclude the case here in Wuzhaoyin City. Also, launch an operation to rectify all major prisons."
"Okay."
Yang Gaoyong eagerly looked at Chen Gu, but Chen Gu was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
Yang Gaoyong couldn't help but "remind" Chen Gu: "What's Captain Chen's next work assignment? Of course, you're heading back to headquarters, and take me along. I've decided to follow you; such great talent, you won't let it slip away just like that, right?"
Chen Gu rubbed his chin: "Next...of course, to investigate this case thoroughly. Cases I'm responsible for will not conclude unclearly."
But Chen Gu still didn't mention taking him along, so Yang Gaoyong had to bring it up himself bravely: "Well...is there anything that needs my help?"
Chen Gu glanced at him, finally understanding his intention. However, Chen Gu wasn't interested in Yang Gaoyong.
This person has mediocre ability, yet holds himself in high regard. His current achievements are probably his limit.
Chen Gu slapped his forehead and said: "Actually, there is something. Notify Bardes for me; I want to talk to him."
Yang Gaoyong was initially full of anticipation but ended up disappointed. He hesitated for a while, saw that Chen Gu wasn't speaking again, and left in disappointment.
In fact, even now, he still didn't realize the problem was always that he underestimated others.
He didn't know that Chen Gu saw through him from the start, including Yang Gaoyong initially underestimating Chen Gu's case-handling capability.
He always thought Chen Gu wasn't a talent scout, unable to see his ability. In fact, if Yang Gaoyong had been more straightforward at that moment and directly requested Chen Gu to facilitate his transfer to headquarters, Chen Gu would have done it as a favor for their cooperation.
Thinking highly of oneself and being unable to put down one's pride without sufficient talent often results in this sort of situation where one's reach exceeds one's grasp.
Bardes arrived quickly and actually had been glaring at Chen Gu all along.
This time, when Chen Gu saw Bardes, he saw a clear desire and ambition in the other's eyes, and nodded to himself: "I should have sought you out earlier, but the case dragged on until now."
Bardes finally got the chance to ask the question that had been troubling him for a long time: "What exactly is that power?"
"We refer to people like that as professionals. I, Yang Gaoyong, are professionals, and you have the potential too. It's up to you whether you want to become a professional, but there are significant risks involved..."
"I'm willing!" Bardes replied, chest out.
Chen Gu smiled slightly: "Good, I was right about you."
Chen Gu, eager to capture Fanmier, immediately arranged Bardes's appointment ceremony. In fact, during the operation to capture Guo Daoqian, Bardes already showed signs of natural awakening, so no further preparation was necessary.
With Chen Gu personally overseeing, Bardes's appointment ceremony went without any incident, but Bardes's profession wasn't the Brain Domain Hacker type Chen Gu had previously guessed, but a very rare "Gifted War God."
This profession has a terrifying instinct for various battles; all professional skills serve combat. Although they are somewhat lacking in terms of the mysterious and unpredictable nature of professional abilities, purely for combat, they are top-notch.
