Chapter 248: The Entire City Is Paralyzed!

Browsing through the System Panel roughly, the Shock Value, reaching as high as 10 billion, immediately caught Chu Chen's eye!

He had never dreamed that this mission of his could actually harvest so much Shock Value!

Originally, he thought having six or seven billion would be about enough.

But the result far exceeded his imagination!

It was actually a full ten billion!

With this much Shock Value, he could already purchase the vast majority of items in the System Mall!

Thinking of this, Chu Chen took a deep breath and immediately wanted to click open the System Mall to go on a wild shopping spree!

But on second thought, he finally held back.

Right now, the crime theme for the next competition had not yet been announced; at this critical juncture, it was still very necessary to save some Shock Value for a rainy day.

He would shop when he had a need.

Thinking of this, he directly used his mind to close the System Panel, then slowly closed his eyes!

……

At the same time!

Huaxia.

Yanjing!

Inside an office of a certain special department!

At this moment, a white-haired old man with a dignified expression was standing in front of the window, gripping a phone with a focused look!

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The dialing tone in the receiver rang in an orderly fashion until the voice of a middle-aged man came through, interrupting it:

"Hello, Chief."

Hearing his voice, the old man asked immediately:

"Xiangguo, how is the situation on your end?"

Upon hearing this, the voice of Tiansha Special Action Group Team Leader Lv Xiangguo came from the other end of the phone again:

"Reporting to the Chief, the situation here is all normal, and he is also very safe... After the program ended, the Logistics Team staff locked onto his location in San Fernando, Brazil, at the first opportunity and arranged for him to stay in a local Chinese-owned hotel. Right now, he is on his way to the hotel. I am watching him personally, so please rest assured."

Following behind Chu Chen's car, Lv Xiangguo, dressed in plain clothes, said without blinking.

Hearing this, the white-haired old man nodded slightly and continued to instruct in a deep voice:

"Do not take this lightly. The Intelligence Team just received news that those major financial groups of the old Americans are searching the world for him."

"The old Americans' financial groups?"

"Mm..." the old man replied.

"What are they looking for this kid for?" Lv Xiangguo asked.

The white-haired old man sighed softly and said, "According to the Intelligence Team's investigation, those Nazi Gold in the Swiss Bank and that oil tanker are both inseparable from them."

"So, you mean they will retaliate against Chu Chen?" Lv Xiangguo said.

The white-haired old man continued: "We haven't received news yet, but to prevent trouble before it happens, for the sake of insurance, we must avoid this situation from occurring as much as possible... This is also the intention from above..."

"The intention from above?"

"Mm..."

After receiving the old man's affirmative answer, Lv Xiangguo nodded thoughtfully.

The next second, without waiting for him to speak, the white-haired old man issued an order to him directly:

"Xiangguo, for the sake of safety, you must immediately contact the Stationed Troops of the Huaxia South American military base and have them dispatch troops at once to ensure Chu Chen's safety without fail."

"From tonight until tomorrow morning, everyone entering or leaving that hotel must undergo strict security checks; not a single person can be missed. In short, before I arrive, your mission is to ensure his safety at all costs! If his personal safety has any problems during this period, we won't be able to answer to those above..."

"Mm, I understand... Do you have any other instructions?"

Hearing this, the white-haired old man shook his head and then continued: "Pay attention to safety and do not expose yourself. We have already greeted the Brazilian authorities regarding this matter, so you can go ahead and handle it with peace of mind."

"Understood, old Chief, please rest assured."

Through the conversation with the old Chief, Lv Xiangguo deeply felt the importance the official high-level authorities placed on Chu Chen!

Not only did they dispatch the Stationed Troops, but they even wanted the old Chief to come personally to pick him up and bring him back to the country!

In Huaxia, there was almost no one who could stir up a figure of the old Chief's level.

This kid Chu Chen was the first!

At the same time, inside the office.

After putting down the phone, the white-haired old man just stood in front of the window for a long time without leaving, the expression in his eyes exceptionally complex.

As the leader of this special department, he knew better than anyone why the official high-level authorities valued Chu Chen so much!

Based on his experience, this young man was very likely to become a key figure in changing the situation in this era full of challenges and opportunities!

His talent, whether in the fields of technology, physical training, military strategy, espionage, or international gaming, had immeasurable value!

If they could truly use him as the core to reorganize the 508 Aerospace Research Institute left behind by Old Qian and let him cultivate a batch of talents like himself for the country, it would definitely allow Huaxia to occupy absolute initiative in many fields of today's world, or even surpass the old Americans and dominate the world!

At this moment, the white-haired old man had already made up his mind!

Even if it meant sacrificing the entire Sky Killing Action Group for Chu Chen, he would not hesitate!

……

……

……

At the same time!

Brazil!

San Fernando!

After receiving the order from the white-haired elder, Lv Xiangguo contacted the South American military base at the first opportunity and explained the situation to them.

Their base was not far from San Fernando to begin with.

Chu Chen had just walked into the hotel.

The Stationed Troops followed right behind and surrounded the entire hotel three layers deep, and at the fastest speed, set up a security checkpoint in front of the hotel's main entrance.

On both sides of the security checkpoint stood many fully armed soldiers.

Some were leading special military dogs, while others held advanced detection equipment, carefully scanning everyone's body and luggage, verifying their identities one by one!

Due to the lockdown being put in place in advance, countless passersby and news media reporters who heard the news could only wait outside the cordon, waiting for Chu Chen to appear again!

Without exception, these people had all followed the live stream, and their goal was to take this opportunity to catch a glimpse of Chu Chen's true face!

Because of their arrival, not only was the traffic in front of the hotel completely paralyzed, but the traffic in the nearby blocks was also affected!

For this reason, the San Fernando authorities directly dispatched the entire city's traffic police, but even so, it was of no use!

The crowd of onlookers did not decrease but instead increased!

One could not see the end of it at a glance!

From the wide main roads to the narrow alleys, every place was packed with people.

They rushed over from all directions, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation!

Some were standing on tiptoe, trying hard to look into the distance, while others held their mobile phones high, recording this unforgettable moment!

In order to see this legendary figure from Huaxia appear with their own eyes, at this very moment, the entire San Fernando had completely ground to a halt, plunged into unprecedented liveliness and clamor!
