Chapter 1487 Old Master Ye Gets a Slap in the Face

Just as Lao Wen was rushing off to arrange a surprise inspection of Dingsheng's headquarters and to mobilize resources from the Strategic Bureau for comprehensive control, Chen Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his hotel room, pondered for a moment, took out a special encrypted phone from his pocket, found a number he rarely dialed, and pressed the call button.

The phone rang several times before being answered.

A slightly aged but still robust voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, came from the other end: "Oh? What a rare guest, Dr. Chen. For a great master like you to call an old man like me, I bet... it's not for anything good. You never think of me when something good happens. What's up? I heard you went on a trip to Thailand? And you made quite a fuss, even killing that local tyrant 'General'?"

It was Jiang Ling, a former leader of an important department of the National Security Bureau. The two became acquainted through a special medical assistance incident. Jiang Ling always jokingly referred to Chen Jun as a "miracle doctor." They had a life-or-death friendship and spoke to each other casually.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun's lips curled into a slight smile, and he chuckled, his tone relaxed: "Old Jiang, your information network is still as good as ever. 'General'? He's just an ant blocking the way, easily crushed, not worth mentioning."

He abruptly changed the subject, his relaxed tone vanishing instantly, replaced by a somber one: "However, in crushing this ant, I unearthed a much larger venomous snake lurking behind it all. An organization called 'The Abyss.' Elder Jiang, have you... heard of it?"

On the other end of the phone, the breathing, which had been joking, suddenly stopped the moment the word "abyss" was heard.

An unusual silence fell over the receiver.

The silence lasted for a good seven or eight seconds, long enough for Chen Jun to slightly furrow his brow.

Then, Jiang Ling's voice rang out again, but the previous lighthearted banter had vanished without a trace, replaced by an extremely solemn tone, even carrying a hint of... apprehension.

"You... encountered the 'Abyss'?"

Chen Jun keenly noticed the unusual tone in Jiang Ling's voice. Who was Jiang Ling? He had been in charge of a key department of the National Security Bureau for many years and had weathered countless storms. There were very few people who could make him change color instantly and speak with such a solemn tone.

"Old Jiang, judging from your tone... this 'Abyss' must be something extraordinary?" Chen Jun asked, his voice becoming serious.

Jiang Ling didn't answer immediately, seemingly organizing his thoughts, or perhaps calming some emotion. After a moment, he slowly spoke, each word carrying a heavy weight:

"It's more than just extraordinary... Chen kid, let me put it this way: the Abyss organization's influence and reach in the global underworld are beyond your imagination. They operate in secrecy, have a complex structure, possess immense power, and... are extremely vengeful and ruthless. Anyone or any organization that gets their eyes on them or dares to provoke them often ends up in a very miserable state. Even our National Security Bureau has suffered some minor losses in our limited indirect encounters with them overseas, and we know how difficult they are to deal with."

Hearing Jiang Ling's undisguised and fearful description, Chen Jun not only did not back down, but his eyes blazed with an even more intense and dangerous light. Pressure? Danger? For him, who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, these words only ignited the deepest fighting spirit and desire for conquest within him.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that this opponent is significant!

The more this is the case, the more interested he becomes!

"Old Jiang, don't just talk about how capable they are. I want to know, do you have any more specific intelligence? How did they get involved with the 'General'? And how did they extend their reach into our country?" Chen Jun pressed.

Jiang Ling sighed: "That's what I'm also wondering about. Given 'The Abyss's' modus operandi and consistent strategies, they usually don't easily infiltrate their core forces directly into our Yan Kingdom, especially the inland areas. Our national security defenses and intelligence networks have always been quite effective in monitoring and intercepting them. They operate more in neighboring countries and regions, exerting influence through proxies and peripheral organizations. How can you be sure that what you encountered was 'The Abyss' itself, and not just one of their peripheral pawns?"

“No.” Chen Jun interrupted him decisively, “Old Jiang, you’re wrong. Or rather, your intelligence may be outdated.”

"What?" Jiang Ling's voice suddenly rose.

“Their people are already in our country.” Chen Jun’s voice was cold and certain. “Not only are they there, but they have also established strongholds, developed front companies, and carried out substantial infiltration activities. The Dingsheng Shipping and Trading Company that I just destroyed was one of their important hideouts in China. Their tentacles have already reached in, and for quite some time now.”

"...What did you say?! Dingsheng Shipping?!" Jiang Ling's voice was filled with shock, even a hint of disbelief. "Are you sure?! Do you have any evidence?!"

"They've been caught red-handed. Their leader has confessed, pointing directly to 'The Abyss'," Chen Jun said succinctly. "I'm making this call to formally inform you that the Abyss organization has already posed a substantial infiltration and threat to our country. This is no longer a potential risk from abroad, but a real danger within our borders!"

Silence fell again on the other end of the phone.

But this time, what was brewing in the silence was no longer fear, but a huge anger and a cold killing intent after being fooled and having their defenses breached!

A few seconds later—

"grass--!!!"

A near-roar of profanity suddenly exploded from the receiver! Even through the phone, Chen Jun could imagine Jiang Ling's face, flushed red with rage.

This old intelligence chief, who was known for his composure and depth, was clearly enraged, or rather, he was slapped in the face by this cruel reality!

He had always believed that the powerful barrier of the National Security Bureau had firmly kept terrorist organizations like "The Abyss" out of the country. His proud defenses and his confident control were, at this moment, ripped open with a bloody gash by the news brought by Chen Jun!

"Chen Jun!" Jiang Ling's voice trembled slightly with anger, but it was filled with unwavering resolve and overwhelming killing intent. "I'm giving you authorization! No, I'm giving you a mission! Listen, from this moment on, you will do everything in your power to deal with this 'Abyss'! Use every force and means at your disposal! Chop off every claw they've extended! Dig out every rat hole they've hidden in! Drag out every one of their people! Don't let a single one escape! Do you understand?!"

Chen Jun smiled as expected, responding calmly yet powerfully: "No problem, Elder Jiang. That's exactly why I called. Leave the Abyss to me. But it requires your full cooperation and that of the National Security Bureau, working in tandem with our Strategic Bureau. Intelligence sharing, resource exchange, and complementary actions."

"Understood!" Jiang Ling answered without the slightest hesitation. "From now on, all relevant resources of the National Security Bureau will be fully allocated to you and the Strategic Bureau! Just tell me what you need! I will coordinate personally! There is only one requirement—fast! accurate! ruthless! Uproot this 'abyss' cancer within the country completely! Clean it up!"

"Don't worry." Chen Jun replied with only two words, but they carried immense weight.

The phone hangs up.

The room fell silent again.

Chen Jun slowly put down his phone and walked to the window. Outside, the city lights were still bright, and the traffic flowed smoothly, presenting a scene of peace and prosperity.

But his eyes were as cold as the Siberian permafrost, and deep within them boiled a murderous intent and a burning flame of war capable of destroying everything.

A chilling smile curved his lips as he faced the invisible enemy outside the window, a smile that seemed to declare to himself as well:

"The abyss...is it?"

"Now that you're here..."

"Then don't even think about going out again."

"Wait."

“I will personally pull you out of the darkness, one by one.”

Then, crush it.
