Chapter 200: Conflict Between Captains
After leaving the Supernatural Department with Chen Yuting, Chu Jiang planned to first meet Chen Bingye.
Chen Bingye’s office was on the tenth underground floor. Chu Jiang and Chen Yuting took the elevator, but unexpectedly met a delegation as soon as they arrived on that floor.
When the elevator doors opened and a large group of people walked towards them, Chu Jiang was a little surprised. At the same time, he noticed that the receptionist next to him became tense.
The members of the delegation didn’t realize that it was Chu Jiang, but the people from the research institute noticed. They also didn’t expect to meet him in this situation.
Up until just now, they were still discussing Chu Jiang and the contents of the broadcast announcement.
After a short pause, Chu Jiang walked out of the elevator with no expression on his face, and Chen Yuting quickly followed.
The leader of the delegation, a blond white man, politely made way for the people behind him.
On the other side, the accompanying staff from the research institute also voluntarily made way. However, the first middle-aged man with a friendly appearance took the initiative to nod at Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang didn’t know him, but he also nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
This scene caught the attention of the white man who immediately smiled and spoke, "Sir, could you please pause for a moment?"
Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised, thinking, "Wow, he speaks Mandarin so well, there’s no trace of any accent."
"What is it?" Chu Jiang asked casually, not wanting to offend, but also wanting to leave directly.
"May I ask if you are Chu Jiang, Mr. Chu? If not, please allow me to apologize first," the white man said.
Chu Jiang nodded slightly, which made the white man’s eyes light up. "What a coincidence, we were just talking about you."
"I am a member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, BPRD, from the United States; and at the same time, I am the leader of the visiting delegation to Research Institute No. 21."
"My name is Bruce Miller, nice to meet you."
As he spoke, Bruce reached out his right hand.
Chu Jiang also reached out his hand to shake his, and the other person didn’t seem to be probing for anything, it was just a normal handshake.
"Well then, you guys can continue with your work, I have something else to do." Chu Jiang wasn’t interested in these foreign Ghost Masters, he waved his hand and was about to leave.
Bruce became visibly anxious about this, and the other members of the delegation also realized what was happening. From the leader’s attitude, this should be the man who solved the S-class event.
Just as the leader on the research institute’s side was hesitating about whether to invite Chu Jiang to the meeting and negotiations, a man with a thin face, wearing a black robe and deep-set eye sockets, suddenly smiled.
He said to the person next to him, "I mean, the official team captain is here. Shouldn’t someone who’s no longer the captain know better and voluntarily leave our team?"
This statement was clearly directed at Yan Wanli.
Yes, Yan Wanli is also in the team of the research institute. Chu Jiang just saw him, but he didn’t greet this guy.
Faced with the challenge from this gloomy man, Yan Wanli, who has a bad temper, became even more unfriendly.
The two of them seemed to have conflicts before they met Chu Jiang.
Seeing this scene, Chu Jiang rarely paused. He wanted to see what Yan Wanli, who had few friends, would do.
The leading deputy minister of the administration frowned and said, "Alright, Zhang Yibiao, mind your manners."
Zhang Yibiao smiled and agreed, but his eyes were still fixed on Yan Wanli. It seemed like he wanted to see if the other person would swallow his pride.
So, is Yan Wanli this kind of person?
Yan Wanli’s angry face suddenly relaxed. He voluntarily took his hands out of his pockets and said, "Alright, I’ll step back. After all, I am no longer the team captain. You can go ahead with the meeting."
Just when everyone was surprised, Yan Wanli casually turned around, seeming to want to leave.
"Wait!" The deputy minister was angrily scolding Zhang Yibiao in his mind. If he let Yan Wanli quit like this, not only would it hurt Yan Wanli’s heart, but it would also hurt the hearts of others.
Unexpectedly, when passing by Chu Jiang, Yan Wanli suddenly exclaimed.
He looked at Chen Yuting and said, "I remember you. Last time at the high-level meeting targeting the Luohe City S-class event, it seemed like you were there, right?"
Chen Yuting immediately felt something was not right in her heart, but facing Yan Wanli’s question, she dared not not answer and could only respond in a whisper, "Yes."
"Then it’s correct. I remember at that time, a certain captain seemed to threaten to get rid of you."
"I saw that you were scared to tears, trembling all over."
At this point, Yan Wanli also sighed and said, "At that time, I originally wanted to scold that guy, but it was Yao, the beautiful lady, who spoke up before me."
The Yao in his words is also part of the research institute team, a mature-looking female captain wearing red clothing. This time, there are only three captains in their team.
When Yan Wanli suddenly started chatting with Chen Yuting, Chu Jiang was initially surprised, but when he heard the end, his face turned gloomy. "Chen Yuting, is this true?"
Chen Yuting is very nervous now, her hands are sweaty, and she stammers, "Um, actually, it’s nothing, just a misunderstanding… It was resolved at that time."
She is not a fool, of course she understands that Yan Wanli is using others to provoke a fight between Chu Jiang and another captain.
On the other side, Zhang Yibiao in a black robe frowned, but then he relaxed a little and nodded from a distance to Chu Jiang, "Captain Chu, it was just a misunderstanding, I was too hasty at that time."
In Zhang Yibiao’s opinion, Chu Jiang and Yan Wanli have a very poor relationship. Not only have they had conflicts in the past, but this time, Yan Wanli resigned as captain because of Chu Jiang.
Although Yan Wanli didn’t say it himself, other captains understand the hierarchy clearly.
As long as they think a little deeper, they will know that Yan Wanli is definitely afraid of Chu Jiang picking on him, so it’s better to resign proactively and save face.
Since the relationship between these two people is very bad, Chu Jiang must not be so stupid as to fall for such an obvious provocation.
"Do you want me to ask again? Yes or no," Chu Jiang completely ignored Zhang Yibiao.
Chen Yuting’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, "Yes."
"Then why didn’t you tell me?" Chu Jiang asked again.
"Um… I think it’s not necessary…" Chen Yuting said with her head lowered, too afraid to look at Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang just shook his head and looked at Yan Wanli, saying, "Cause, process, result."
Yan Wanli immediately understood and cleared his throat, using a completely neutral and objective tone, he described in detail what happened during the meeting.
Because he knew Chu Jiang was getting serious.
