The laughter there weakened, and within a few seconds, Wen Huilan was led by a bamboo pole to the discussion site... it could only be called the discussion site.
There aren't even any serious chairs here, it's just an open space with a projection work area in the middle. Several people are standing or sitting around it. Some of them are still sitting on the ground, such as Ruiwen, who just finished her live broadcast for a few hours.
Wen Huilan smiled and greeted the members of this circle, and she also withstood the scrutiny of the members of the circle - the type that was far from enthusiastic, even a smile in return was considered friendly, and no one moved.
Wen Huilan didn't mind. She had already been mentally prepared before arriving. Her own eyes also passed most of the people, and only stayed on Ruiwen, who looked fragile and cold, for a little longer.
On the contrary, the latter did not look at her at all, not even a curious glance. He just stared at the projection work area in the center, very focused, and seemed to be in a trance.
Wen Huilan's eyes turned to the most important and eye-catching person in the discussion.
Ronan.
This is not to say how handsome or unique the appearance of this youngest extraordinary species is, nor how powerful and tangible his courage is. It’s just because Ronan at this time is in a shocking situation.
state.
He half-closed his eyes, and his whole body was imprisoned in a certain frame of nothingness. His feet did not touch the ground, and his body was suspended in the air. It seemed that there was no visible support. However, there was a circle of mechanical devices on the periphery that kept a considerable distance. It seemed that
There is some kind of reading displayed.
The reason why it is called "imprisonment" is because Ronan is trying to move his arms. Every tiny movement seems to be resisting strong resistance. He should have been wearing loose training clothes, but every movement seems to be
Confrontation with invisible forces may even result in intense "friction" and dazzling electric fire.
All these caused direct damage to the training clothes, so that at this time, the clothes were riddled with holes and were still burning.
At present, on his lean body, which is still considered a teenager, sweat and electric fire are intertwined, swimming on the surface of the skin, but Wen Huilan has no doubt that this power will continue to stimulate deeper layers such as muscle groups, fascia, bones, internal organs, etc.
Tissue - Ronan's body surface will occasionally experience rapid distortion and expansion. If you look carefully, you will see rapid tremors, which is far beyond what a normal person should be.
When I was walking in the laboratory before, I finally found the source of the "leakage" feeling.
What's weird is that the trousers on his lower body are still intact, and I don't know how to limit the damage range.
Faced with Ronan in such a state, even with Wen Huilan's extensive knowledge, he hesitated whether to say hello as usual.
Ronan, on the other hand, opened his half-closed eyes first, his ordinary pupils met Wen Huilan's gaze, and his tone was very gentle:
"Sorry, Ms. Wen, the experiment took a little longer than expected... There were some small fluctuations just now. Don't worry, it doesn't affect communication, it's just not polite."
"No, please don't care."
Wen Huilan leaned towards Ronan with a soft and upright attitude: "I am deeply honored to be allowed to meet you here. I hope it will not interfere with your experiment."
"Nothing. In fact, before you got here, we were just sharing information and discussing issues."
"Excuse me, are we discussing the smuggling channel issue of the Sixth Department of the West? Can I observe?"
"Of course, if possible, I also hope to get some new information from Ms. Wen for reference."
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to Professor Luo and everyone else."
In the fake polite greetings, the bamboo pole next to him actually showed a warm and masculine style: "I'll move a chair."
"No, that's fine. I like it very much... I wish everyone didn't dislike me, an old woman with a bad atmosphere."
"These words are so cruel!" The paper-cutting person at the scene couldn't help but leave a message in the group and sighed. Even though he has been on countless blind dates, he has never seen a beautiful woman who "recognizes her old age" like this.
He is obviously so dazzling.
Wen Huilan seemed to really not care. She left her bodyguard behind and took two steps forward. Like most people at the scene, she chose a relatively open position - on her left was Zhang Yingying, who had just explained the intelligence information, and on her right was Rui.
Wen, just sit on the ground with your knees bent and your legs naturally bent and flat.
The large coat cannot hide her slender legs, but instead further highlights her charm, making people's eyes unconsciously follow these natural lines, stretching and twisting, and wandering back and forth.
The discussion in the friend group became even more heated:
"You can't tell. This is the big boss of the smuggling channel...the strong man who dared to come to negotiate after being caught."
"The person above me is Gao Wenfu. After all, he is the Seven of Spades, the leader of Lake City, the third vice-president of the Federation, and a close comrade of Abner."
"Damn it, I really don't want to admit it..."
The atmosphere was indeed a bit strange. After Zhugan found an open space to sit down opposite Wen Huilan, he added a reminder in the group: "This person is indeed older than everyone here."
"No way, is he older than Zhai Gong?"
"..."
Because both the children of Zhai Weiwu and He Yuanzhi were involved in this incident, even if there was no danger, Ruiwen deliberately avoided the relevant scenes during the live broadcast, but Zhai Gong still came over to understand the situation before getting off work, but did not
Expect to be hit in the chest.
Bamboo pole beating to death information: "As far as I know, yes. I thought you all knew it."
"I can't understand this kind of female boss."
"……never mind."
"By the way, Sister Yingying is very silent today."
Xie Junping, who was also at the scene, came simply to join in the fun, but he was very worried about the world being in chaos.
But the fact is that Zhang Yingying, who is usually prone to cynicism in this situation, is really unusually silent. She watched Wen Huilan "join" this circle, and even sat next to her, but said nothing until the latter adjusted to comfort
, then reached out and knocked on the big box leaning against him:
"Shall I continue?"
Ronan nodded in agreement.
At this time, Zhai Gong raised his hand first: "I just wanted to ask. Since it is a link in the smuggling route and there are accomplices in the Sixth Department of Taixi, does Taichao know? Where is the fourth uncle? There are other people in the tribe...
"
"As far as we know, Taichao knows a little bit, but he prefers to deal with powerful people in the city. He opened the Taixi company for policy and reputation. He didn't want to get too deep into the smuggling line, so he just
Open your eyes and close your eyes to be filial... Sometimes you have to rely on Lao Xiong to open up some special connections."
Zhang Yingying introduced the character relationships, logistics links and in-depth information of the projection workspace in a precise manner. Soon, an underground transaction chain connecting the main urban area of Xia City, the satellite city and the wilderness appeared in front of everyone present.
Xie Junping also had doubts. He carefully looked at Wen Huilan who was smiling and listening diagonally across from him. He was so addicted that he said: "This chain is very targeted. From the outside to the inside, it can only go in but not out. It seems to be specially for Xia Cheng."
, is the deficit too serious?”
"It's not surprising that the internal management of the city, at least the relatively strict management model of Xiacheng, does not leave enough space for the production of contraband. It is natural that the industrial chain will move to the fringe areas, the suburbs, and the outer suburbs.
Satellite cities and even wilderness...they are originally the needs of Xia City."
As Zhang Yingying answered, she reached out and moved the projection work area so that the scale of the map displayed on it was smaller and showed a wider area: "In fact, this is a typical black market pattern after the war. The relatively closed ecology of large urban areas
, causing logistics to be suppressed, the original global distribution network is no longer available, and some cities like Xiacheng can only be 'self-sufficient'.
"Attention, I am talking about some. There are many cities that have re-established this kind of shady distribution network, and quite a few simply replaced it with 'Vagrant Exchanges'. Therefore, that thing is the current stage of distribution.
Darknet predators with tentacles everywhere must have a huge vested interest group, and I don’t know how many people want to profit from it...
"Comparatively speaking, those around Xiacheng are just local refineries and family workshops, but they are already a quite astonishing chain of interests. Some powerful people in Xiacheng are also involved in this, but what is interesting is that they
There is no dominance.”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene turned their attention to Wen Huilan.
Under the focused gaze, Wen Huilan raised the corners of her lips slightly, then pursed them halfway, finally turning into a restrained and seemingly helpless smile.
With this smile, she took the initiative to speak: "Why is this happening? Maybe I can give Professor Luo and everyone an explanation...for reference only."
Still in his special experimental environment, Ronan let out another long breath, seemingly relieved of a heavy burden for the time being, and his smile became brighter:
"Speaking."
Wen Huilan straightened her sitting posture slightly: "In short, the key factor why Xiacheng local does not hold the dominant position in this trading route is that the Xiacheng branch has developed too well."
"Oh?" Xie Junping expressed doubt exaggeratedly.
"Actually, the logic is very simple - Xiacheng has the largest group of registered ability users in the entire East Asia region except Ancheng; the 'iron triangle' has long-term stability, continuous cooperation, and good governance.
"Especially the Lingbo Network, which provides long-distance support to key areas in the surrounding wilderness, forming a de facto safe zone for convenient supplies and nearby processing.
"With their cooperation, the Xiacheng branch has stably controlled the collection, processing and distribution channels of most of the distorted products on the peninsula and even the surrounding sea areas."
Wen Huilan pointed to the projection work area from a distance and accurately pointed out several important product bases in the surrounding areas of Xiacheng: "According to the consistent practice of the Xiacheng branch, in addition to self-use, the relevant resources are invested in the official channels of the Ability Person Association, carrying out
Buy and sell freely.
“These products have clear origins, are of excellent quality, and support the common credit unit within the association—such highly ordered products are rare in the world’s global market.
"In fact, with the power of one city, it supports at least one-twentieth of the sources of regular aberration products of the espers association. The prosperity of the Xia City branch's products has directly led to the development of the 'Vagrant Exchange'
The underground market, which is similar to global popularity, has almost no place in Xia City.
"The homeless exchange cannot develop, and there is still a huge market for some abnormal needs in the city, which has given rise to the local production and sales network. But under the unique control order of the world in Xia City, this is also a deformed child with congenital deficiencies.
If you can’t achieve success, you can only seek help from outside.”
Wen Huilan lowered her eyes and bowed to Ronan again:
