Chapter 3267
Environmentalists claimed that using chemical means to decompose pollution was just another pollution. The measures taken by the Charabong Group to manage pollution were not environmentally friendly. These raw materials must be reviewed before they could be used within the scope of the natural forest land, otherwise, it would be illegal.
The Charabong Group had just learned how to grapple; could they suffer this grievance? They directly dispatched the GTO and surrounded the environmentalists as well.
But environmentalists hadn't broken the law after all. People protested, but they didn't touch anything, nor did they cause any major damage. Besides surrounding them, the GTO couldn't do anything.
But they had to surround them, otherwise, this string of zeros was really too hot to hold.
Moreover, Gordon was secretly relieved. If the new employer asked them to do something illegal, he would be in a difficult position. Now, this kind of work of slacking off in the name of maintaining public order was the best; it could show that they were useful, it wasn't dangerous, and it didn't violate his moral bottom line.
If only they could muddle through like this for the next year, Gordon couldn't help but hope.
Batman, on the other hand, encountered a new problem.
The GTO wasn't bought, so the money he prepared could be used for another choice, which was to implement the plan formulated by Shiler earlier to manage pollution and benefit the residents.
As a result, guess what a coincidence, all the chemical raw materials needed in this plan to purify water and neutralize soil pollution were surrounded by environmentalists in the natural forest land.
It wasn't that only the Charabong Group produced these raw materials. The key was that these chemical agents weren't only used to manage pollution; people had other uses for them.
In order to save face, the Charabong Group transported all the raw materials there for a photo op. After being surrounded by people, their own production materials were gone.
They had already emptied their cash flow, and now production was interrupted. Seeing that orders couldn't be delivered, in order not to go bankrupt, they could only hurry to find ways to acquire such raw materials everywhere to restore production.
It didn't matter if there wasn't much money on the books; they had many industrial assets. As long as the price was pressed low enough, they could sell quickly. Some redundant raw materials could also be sold to recover funds.
If you are willing to sacrifice yourself, you can pull the Emperor off his horse. Never use your hobbies to challenge someone else's ability to make a living.
Charabong wanted raw materials; that was a life-and-death battle. You, a Wei En Group that wanted to add flowers to the brocade, just stay on the side for now.
It wasn't that Batman hadn't thought about competing with Charabong, but the other side was clearly crazy, and the price increase made even Batman's heart jump.
If he acquired chemical raw materials at such a price, then the money he prepared wouldn't even be enough to manage a small residential area, let alone manage the X15 district.
So, to solve the problem of rising prices of chemical raw materials for pollution management, he had to have sufficient goods on the market. Most importantly, he had to let Charabong have goods, so he wouldn't grab these things like a madman.
Then how to let Charabong have goods?
Then he had to liberate the pile of raw materials they were trapped in the natural forest land, which meant he had to find a way to make the environmentalists disperse.
If the Wei En Group had money, it wasn't that Batman couldn't spend some money to solve the problem, but the problem was that he had no money now. If he spent the money on solving the environmentalists, then the X15 district couldn't be managed.
If he couldn't solve the environmentalists with this method, then Batman would take some special measures, such as putting on a bat suit and making some noise in the place where the environmentalists stayed late at night to scare them away.
But isn't this a coincidence again? Where the environmentalists stay, the GTO is also there.
In order to show his new employer his excellent work ability, Gordon surrounded the whole place layer by layer, layer by layer. Batman wandered outside in the night for three laps, but couldn't find a breakthrough.
To take down the environmentalists, he had to take down the GTO first. But it was precisely because Batman didn't take down the GTO that he now needed to take down the environmentalists here. Isn't this a vicious cycle?
The key was that now Batman and the Pale Knight, these two big smart guys, looked around and suddenly found that no one was on their side.
Gordon, who had received the money, could already maintain the normal operation of the GTO. Although he was working for Charabong now, they couldn't possibly surround them for a year.
After this incident passed, the anti-terrorism team could still continue to maintain Cat Getan's public order as before and continue to reduce Cat Getan's crime rate. Gordon didn't need to rely on Batman anymore.
Nightwing joined the GTO team. Although he didn't want to work for the rich either, it was still the same sentence: they offered far too much. This money was enough for the GTO to maintain operation for at least three years. Even if he wasn't happy, he had to pretend to be loyal and dedicated.
In case he let Batman pass and caused something to happen in the place they were watching, a bad start would ruin their reputation, so he could only be heartless.
Batgirl was on Batman's side, but unfortunately, her brilliant hacking skills were useless against the trees in the natural forest land. Gordon was also watching with full manpower, and the defense line was arranged airtight. Hacking into terminal equipment was useless, and Batman still couldn't get in.
Not to mention Shiler. The Pale Knight wouldn't let go, and Shiler was playing disappearing act, unable to contact him at all.
As for Bruce, he was purely wandering. In the days he came to this city, he hadn't seen him work. Relying on him was not as good as relying on raw materials to grow legs and slip out by themselves.
It wasn't that Batman hadn't thought about taking some tough measures, but the problem was that the environmentalists hadn't broken the law; they were just sitting there. If you rushed in and beat them up, then the reputation that Batman had finally improved a little would be completely gone.
In the natural forest land, environmentalists had set up many tents there. The bearded man who led them walked out of the tent and came to the small woods behind to answer the phone.
"Hello? Mr. Shiler, you were really right. These fierce-looking police really didn't take action. They are really a bunch of softies!"
"Alright, alright, I've received it. Thank you for the generosity of the Natural Forest Land Protection Foundation. But how many more days do we have to stay here? What? Can't we stay for a few more days? It's very hard to find such a good job recently..."
"Alright, I understand, goodbye."
Shiler hung up the phone, looked at Catwoman opposite, and said, "At the latest tonight, Batman should come to find you."
"Why are you so sure he will come to find me?"
"Batman's stealth skills are good, but his figure is too burly, his innate conditions are not advantageous, and he is afraid of being exposed and caught on the spot, and then thrown into jail, so naturally he can only find you."
Catwoman was eating steak in a high-end western restaurant, chewing while saying, "That day I led him to wander outside for half the night, and you only gave me 10,000 in hard work fees. I almost sacrificed my beauty!"
"Don't mess around, that was Batman who sacrificed his beauty."
Because she was exposed, Catwoman deliberately made a face, but soon asked, "If he comes to find me, what price should I ask? Will 50,000 be a bit too much? Although those police are a bit difficult to deal with, the distance is not far, and the difficulty is not very high."
"50,000? Do you look down on Bruce Wei En?"
"Hmm, then add a little more, 70,000?"
"Don't forget what we agreed on, you take six and I take four. Am I here to earn your tens of thousands?"
"Then how much do you say? I'm afraid if I ask for too much, he won't do it."
Shiler snorted coldly and said, "2 million, not a penny less."
Catwoman gasped, stared at Shiler with big eyes and said, "Are you crazy? Just do some infiltration work, you want 2 million???"
"You are going to infiltrate a place that even Batman can't infiltrate. Is 2 million a lot? Even so, you have to tell him to let him sacrifice some beauty, otherwise 5 million, no bargaining."
Catwoman sprayed out a mouthful of water.
She looked at Shiler strangely and said, "Let Batman sacrifice beauty? You can really think of it."
"Just say whether you want it or not."
Catwoman recalled the feeling of the muscles she touched through the fabric that night, licked her somewhat dry lips, and then said, "Then he has to sacrifice a little more, otherwise I won't do it!"
"That's right." Shiler raised his glass and clinked it with her, then said, "If he doesn't sacrifice well, you raise the price."
Catwoman rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not that kind of lustful person."
That evening, Catwoman turned over and fell from upstairs, directly hugging Batman's waist from back to front.
Batman froze on the spot.
"Baby, are you here to find me?"
"Let go first."
"You are really boring." Catwoman let go of her hand, walked to him in a leisurely manner and said, "When you hugged me and swung through the building before, weren't you quite proud?"
Batman pursed his lips and said, "I came to find you for serious business."
"Then what is the indecent thing in your mouth?" Catwoman leaned over again and blew air at his ear, then said, "I didn't get it wrong, did I? Or do your ears really grow on top?"
Catwoman could feel that Batman really wanted to hide, but the serious business he was holding in his stomach made him have to spit it out, so he froze there.
"Alright, I won't mess with you anymore, what's wrong with you again?"
"I want you to go to a place."
"Don't say it's your house, this love talk is too old-fashioned."
"No, it's inside the natural forest land."
"Are you crazy!" Catwoman deliberately said very exaggeratedly, "There are police everywhere now, what am I going there for? Throwing myself into the net?"
Batman also seemed to feel that his request was a bit difficult, letting a thief plunge into a pile of police. This couldn't even be called fishing; this belonged to electric fishing behavior.
"And why don't you go yourself? Aren't you quite good with the Cat Getan police?" Catwoman stared at him and said, "You wouldn't be trying to take this opportunity to catch me, would you?"
After Catwoman finished speaking, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Batman. Batman grabbed her wrist and said, "For some reason, I can't go there myself. I hope to hire you. You name a price."
"No." Catwoman refused flatly, "I think you just want to catch me. If you can't catch me yourself, you let the police help you. You are really spineless!"
Batman took a deep breath and said, "I'm serious, I can give you the money first."
Catwoman hesitated slightly, but she still said, "I tell you, I'm not that group of terrorists, at most a petty thief. Even if I go in, I can't be sentenced for a long time. If you really do this, I will scratch your face after I go out!"
"But even so, I have to take the risk of going to jail. Once a flying thief like me goes to jail, it's smashing my own sign. No one will ask me to work again. You must give me a sum of money that can make me live freely for the rest of my life, otherwise I won't do it!"
"How much do you want?"
"3 million, not a penny less."
Batman paused for less than a second.
"Fine."
"Asked for too little!" Catwoman wailed in her heart, "This damn rich man, didn't he say he had no money? How is he still so rich?!"
Sure enough, what Shiler said was right. 2 million was a discount for the sake of his sacrifice of beauty, otherwise he should have asked for 5 million!
Thinking that she might have lost 2 million, Catwoman couldn't help but grit her teeth. No, this money couldn't be lost for nothing!
Then Batman suddenly found that Catwoman looked at him as if looking at a fish. He really wasn't sure whether the fire burning in those eyes was appetite or something else.
But the next second, he knew.
Catwoman reached out and grabbed the base of his cape, pulled hard, and knocked him to the ground.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"
"What do you think? Baby?"
