My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

Chapter 2024 Requires a Group of People Who Can Be Absolutely Trusted

Murong Wan didn't say much, only that "I saw that the Black and White Plan within China has been fully launched. Along the way, I've seen at least hundreds of millions of people affected."

"This is just the beginning. I've already received a lot of reports. Look at the doorway, it's full of these reports."

Jiang Guoping sighed.

He gave his assistant a look and said, "Go and notify the people outside. Tell them to give the rescue-related report to Deputy Director Wang first. That way, it will be processed faster."

"Yes."

The assistant went out.

Murong Wan sensed that the Investigation Bureau was also in a bit of a mess at this moment.

"Sigh, this snow is really troublesome. This sudden heavy snowfall is affecting ordinary people's lives, but because of the Black and White Project, factories are facing a severe labor shortage, and this has created a chain reaction..."

Jiang Guoping was helpless.

Murong Wan also noticed this and said, "The whole world is probably in a similar state now; order is collapsing to some extent."

"Yes, that's the problem now. In the short term, China can temporarily maintain order by relying on its previous accumulation, but in the long run, especially since we don't know when Sima Shan will emerge from seclusion again."

Jiang Guoping did not continue speaking.

But everyone knows it.

Sima Shan is definitely absorbing the power of the Chinese dragon vein right now.

And waiting for him to digest these powers is the beginning of him building the barrier.

At that time, anyone who opposes him will be utterly destroyed without exception.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why the Investigation Bureau can still do some things is because the people of Shanhe are waiting for Sima Shan to come out of seclusion. So their people are not taking large-scale actions outside. Even if we crack down, we can only crack down on some scattered people."

Jiang Guoping's tone was unusually pessimistic.

In fact, not only him, but also the others present looked helpless.

Murong Wan glanced at them and suddenly asked, "How many of the other reclusive families have withdrawn from the world so far?"

"At least seven families have begun to withdraw from the leadership of the Bureau of Investigation."

Jiang Guoping answered.

Qin Tianming, who was sitting next door, then spoke up: "I know that two or three families who are on good terms with us are also planning to withdraw."

"..."

Murong Wan remained silent for a moment.

She understood that it was normal for these families to back down at times like this.

This is actually the effect that the Mountain and River Organization wants.

They have not yet launched the final purge plan.

But now they have occupied many cities around the world as their bases.

But the investigation bureau has so far done nothing about it.

This already demonstrates that the power of the mountains and rivers far surpasses that of the Investigation Bureau.

Faced with absolute power, even if Jiang Guoping and his group wanted to do something, they were powerless at this point.

"It seems that, compared to the gap in strength, the morale of the people is even more dire."

Murong Wan's eyes no longer held their usual calm.

Jiang Guoping sighed and said, "We can only take it one step at a time. Right now, the most urgent task for everyone in the Investigation Bureau is to rescue those killed in the Black and White Project, as well as those who can be saved."

"Yes, we'll save as many as we can. If we have extra manpower, we'll also help maintain order. Most of the Shanhe people are hiding in the cities they've occupied, so there's nothing we can do."

Qin Tianming shook his head.

These family heads can be considered staunch supporters.

But at this point, they couldn't see a future either.

Jiang Guoping didn't continue with that, but instead said, "Let's not talk about that. Where is Yang Feng now? Didn't he come back with you?"

These people only knew about the battle between Yang Feng and the two of them that day.

Although the situation on the scene was conveyed through the ripples of spiritual energy, and everyone knew that Sima Shan had won.

But they all firmly believed that Yang Feng was not dead, or that he had a way to escape.

When Murong Wan brought this up, she shook her head and said, "He didn't come back, and if I'm not mistaken, he should already be... already in Sima Shan's hands."

"What?! He's been arrested!!!"

The group of people immediately widened their eyes.

Even Jiang Guoping was getting anxious at this point, saying, "How is this possible? Even if they lost, Yang Feng shouldn't have been captured. Even Qin Linyuan escaped, how could he..."

"I don't know the specifics, but he must have ended up in a direct battle with Sima Shan."

Murong Wan sensed the lingering effects of that night and said, "But before he left, he had me do a few things. First, he had to transfer all the outside technical personnel to Chu Village, where it's safe now."

"and then?"

"The second thing is to retrieve some things and then wait for it to snow."

"Waiting for snow?"

The group exchanged glances, then said, "You mean, he actually knew the weather would turn out like this?"

"That's about right, so we can wait and see."

Murong Wan actually knew more, but she obviously wouldn't continue to tell others here.

In fact, even Jiang Guoping wouldn't trust her much now.

Because this was the most important thing Yang Feng had entrusted to her.

Now that things have come to this, every step Murong Wan takes could affect the very survival of this world.

Jiang Guoping and the others seemed to have guessed as well, but they didn't ask any further questions. They simply asked, "What should we do next?"

“I have a plan, but it requires a lot of manpower.”

As Murong Wan spoke, she looked at the people present and said, "There must be at least thirty Celestial Beings."

"More than thirty?"

Everyone looked at Murong Wan in surprise.

Jiang Guoping also found it strange and asked, "Murong, what do you need these people for?"

"I can't say for sure, but thirty is a conservative estimate; the actual number needed is probably more."

"Well... we're short-handed right now. There are casualties everywhere from the Black and White Project. Where are we going to find so many people?"

Jiang Guoping was also helpless.

They're already too busy fighting fires everywhere, so where would they find so many more people?

Murong Wan's expression became more serious, and she said, "Director Jiang, I hope you can still give me these people."

She didn't say why, but her expression showed her determination.

Jiang Guoping seemed to understand what she meant.

After a brief pause, Jiang Guoping looked at the others and said, "In that case, I think this..."

"I want people from the Yan tribe, people from hidden families, I only want the people I specify."

As she spoke, Murong Wan took out a pen and paper and wrote down some names beside her.

Among these names were Qin Yunfei and Qin Zhiling from the Qin family, as well as some people from the Zhuge family, and even the girl Lu Qingyu.

Everyone understood as soon as they saw the list.

"Is this someone you're asking to trust absolutely?"

Jiang Guoping asked.
