Chapter 246 New Types of Human Trafficking
Chen Kuan's family is quite large, consisting of his parents, sisters, and the husbands and children of his sisters, making more than 10 people.

Since Chen Kuan became successful, they have all lived in the same building.

"Is it really that realistic? The tea's gone cold before I even left?" That's what he said, but Chen Kuan still had a lot of faith in his parents and sister.

Anyone might leave you if you fall on hard times, but these three would never.

Chen Kuan carefully put away the green beans and dialed everyone's phone numbers, but none of them answered. He waited at home until late at night, but still no one came back.

Chen Kuan then became anxious and quickly retrieved the home surveillance footage.

In the surveillance footage, the father, mother, and sister suddenly collapsed to the ground. Others moved them to the bed and called the family doctor.

About half an hour later, the family doctor didn't arrive; instead, federal sheriffs showed up. After exchanging a few words with the brother-in-law, they took the whole family away.

Chen Kuan frowned deeply. Could it be that his family had been implicated because of his swindling and cheating?
But that shouldn't be the case. Why didn't the police arrest themselves first?

After much deliberation, Chen Kuan decided to swallow his pride and ask the lobby manager to accompany him to the police station.

The lobby manager was a good person and agreed without hesitation.

After arriving at the police station, the two handed over a backup of the surveillance video to the police officers.

This was a newly appointed young police officer, and he was very polite: "Okay, we will verify the identities of these officers as soon as possible, and we will notify you when we have the results."

Chen Kuan exclaimed in disbelief, "What era are we living in? We still have to wait to verify our identity?!"

"I'm sorry, the Zerg have arrived and destroyed our planet's storage servers, which have not yet been restored."

What else could Chen Kuan say?!
After leaving the police station, he thanked the lobby manager again.

The lobby manager pointed to the Xinghe Party emblem on his chest and smiled, "It's what I should do."

Chen Kuan didn't understand this behavior, which he considered foolish, but as the beneficiary of this foolishness, he gladly accepted it.

"Why don't you go to Kyushu Star? Isn't that your Xinghe Party's stronghold?"

The lobby manager walked at a measured pace: "Because they need me here."

Chen Kuan rolled his eyes: "The planet can keep spinning no matter who leaves, and the universe won't stop because of you. Don't take yourself too seriously."

"Well, but I think you need me to have a drink with you right now."

Chen Kuan chuckled, took out two vials of nutrient solution, gave one to the lobby manager, and said nostalgically, "This is what I saved up when I was a part-time believer. Cheers!"

The two tubes of original flavored nutrient solution came together.

It tasted awful, but the lobby manager sipped it like it was some kind of delicacy.

Perhaps it was the gentle night, but as Chen Kuan walked, he rambled on, "Actually, my whole family immigrated from the Sixth Star Ring. Starting with my grandfather's generation, we kept saving money, saving money and saving money. After three generations of saving, we finally saved enough for our family's ship tickets."

"I thought the 5th Star Ring would be paradise, where I would have no worries about food and clothing and live a peaceful and prosperous life. But after arriving, I found that it's just so-so, not much better. People at the bottom are still at the bottom."

For the powerful and influential, arriving in the 5th Star Ring brings a significant improvement in their standard of living.

For ordinary people, it's simply a matter of emptying their savings and pockets to find a new place to make a living.

Chen Kuan was tired from walking, so he found a roadside spot and sat down on the ground: "I know about your Xinghe Party and I've learned about your political views, but they're too naive and unrealistic. They sound like you're just making empty promises and describing a beautiful utopia."

“My sister idolizes Lin Xiaohe, she idolizes her! She thinks Lin Xiaohe is a warrior who broke down class barriers, a model for human evolution! She even handcrafted a red suit of armor.” Chen Kuan’s expression softened considerably when he mentioned his sister. He lowered his voice and said, “Actually, I have met your party leader, Lin Xiaohe.”

"Oh?"

"She was different from what I imagined; she wasn't so virtuous and noble, nor was she hypocritical."

They are just ordinary people who are pure and powerful.

It sounds familiar, but it really is.

Chen Kuan stood up, patted the lobby manager on the shoulder, and showed a rare sincerity: "I know what you want to do, but I advise you to give up. Look at the composition of your party members: members of parliament, college students, professors, soldiers, rich young men, and at the very least, people with legitimate jobs."

"You think you're at the bottom of the Federation, but in reality, the truly bottom-level people don't even see Lin Xiaohe. Just surviving takes all their strength; where do they have the energy to talk about ideals?"

The lobby manager seemed to be looking into his eyes, as if to say, "Isn't this what you're all for?"

"Ha, my faith is in the Star Coin!" Chen Kuan waved his hand, leaving the lobby manager with a dashing back view.

In the days that followed, Chen Kuan felt a surge of pride whenever he recalled this scene, thinking he was incredibly handsome.

By the fifth day, Chen Kuan couldn't sit still any longer. He hadn't received any news from the police; every time he went to inquire, he was met with evasive answers.

After losing the vast majority of his followers, Chen Kuan became nothing again.

The door that had once been open to him was now ruthlessly shut.

Chen Kuan ran into walls everywhere he went, and in the end, he could only go to the lobby manager looking dejected.

He looked embarrassed and said with difficulty, "There's still no news from my family over there. Can you help me?"

There was no sarcastic remark or shirking of responsibility as I had imagined; there was only a simple "okay."

Chen Kuan asked with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, "How do you plan to find it?"

The lobby manager gave a mysterious smile: "Through our Xinghe Party."

Thus, Chen Kuan witnessed just how complex the seemingly unassuming Xinghe Party really was.

From the Secretary-General of the Government Office of Vitara Star to ordinary people doing odd jobs, they were all just sparks in the fire!
Chen Kuan was astonished. If he had the skills of a lobby manager, he would have become a head coach long ago!
Within a day, the lobby manager gave a reply: "They are legitimate federal police officers, not imposters. There is a highly confidential operation within the police department called 'Awakening,' and they have been ordered to take your family away."

"Huh?!" Chen Kuan was shocked and confused.

My family didn't do anything!
The lobby manager's expression was grave: "According to our investigation, Operation Awakening has already abducted more than 1000 people on Vitara. They will be sent to the First Star Ring."

Chen Kuan's expression changed drastically. A windfall from the sky was very likely a poisoned one!

"Which ship? When does it depart? Can we not go?"

The lobby manager's eyes were filled with solemnity: "Seven days later, the [Explorer 7] transport ship of the Yanidam Cult."

Chen Kuan's heart skipped a beat, his throat went dry and itchy, and he spoke with difficulty: "The Anidam Cult is recruiting people in various ways, and they also say they want to take them to the First Star Ring. Is there any connection between the two?"

The lobby manager sighed deeply, "There's a high probability of that."

Chen Kuan squatted on the ground, covered his eyes, and his shoulders trembled weakly.

He didn't understand what those people were after. But he knew that the more you give, the more you get in return!
