Chapter 1268: The Transformation of Crisis and Opportunity
About ten minutes later, Lent Bury, the leader of the special operations team of the Truth Company's security department, lowered the power of the Weeping Stick, keeping it at a lower penetrating level.
Because the personnel from the City That Never Sleeps Security Bureau who came to deal with the accident also arrived at the scene - although because they were here to deal with an "emotional breakdown" incident, the Security Bureau's field personnel were all dressed in protective gear, but these equipment were obviously not enough to protect the Weeping Staff, a large alchemical facility of the Truth Company.
In order to reduce the damage to the security personnel and the loss of equipment, Lent Bury would naturally limit the output of the Weeping Staff.
Although if there really were a conflict with the Security Bureau, Lunt Bury would definitely not care about these guys, but at present both sides have the same goal, and Team Leader Lunt still hopes to maintain some superficial friendly relations with the other party.
Moreover, although the Never Sleep City Security Bureau is not a department under the three major groups, it is an "independent and impartial" agency that is responsible to the "Parliament" and "all the Never Sleep City nobles and residents"...
However, the leadership team of this Security Bureau, with "Director Dyke" as the core, still has the support of the Sorens family and related faction nobles, and to some extent is equivalent to a subsidiary of the Universal General Chamber of Commerce.
As the head of the special operations team of the security department, although it is a sinecure and a relatively isolated position, Lunt Bury's status is actually relatively high due to the special functions. With actual A-4 level authority, he is certainly not just an expert who is good at fighting and handling various accidents - strong business capabilities are just the threshold to becoming an A-level senior executive.
Luntbury himself also has a keen sense of smell.
Although the Sorens family and the Buyetian family have not directly cooperated openly, they have recently entered a kind of honeymoon period... Therefore, he naturally has to show friendliness to the forces related to the Sorens family.
After the Security Bureau's field team vehicle approached the scene and stopped, Lent took the initiative to lead the Truth Company special operations team members on the scene to greet them.
In the car, the security bureau field personnel who were also fully armed got out, and the person in charge seemed to be acquainted with Lent.
"Inspector Pierkin, you're leading the team yourself!"
Two people wearing heavy protective gear, whose faces and even body shapes could not be identified, clasped their hands together and shook them.
Afterwards, Inspector Pierkin of the Security Bureau also expressed goodwill: "Seeing you're here and have the Weeping Stick out, I feel much more at ease - but according to regulations, we still need to inventory the scene."
"How's your work on this going?"
Inspector Pierkin asked.
"There's no danger, but there probably aren't many survivors. Even if there were one or two percent who survived, they'd probably become fools or even madmen from the onslaught of anger and grief," Team Leader Lent said with some regret. "After all, this is a serious matter. If anger erupts again, I'm afraid it will affect this entire city. That's why I've activated the Weeping Staff at maximum power from the start."
"I see. That makes our job much easier," Inspector Pierkin chuckled grimly through his mask. "Do you have a preliminary estimate of the cause of the accident? An accident involving thousands of people means a death toll in the four digits... Even if those killed were low-class people or gang members, we still have to find out the cause."
Lent said calmly, "The initial assessment is that this was a production accident—this was the Turbine Gang's illegal production base for power parts. It was likely a small-scale emotional outburst that was initially unintentionally handled, leading to the tragic destruction of their entire gang."
"Speaking of which, it can be said that these guys have brought it upon themselves."
After hearing what Lent said, Pierkin showed some surprise.
"What? It was a complete production accident? That's a bit strange... The Turbine Gang has been producing illegal parts for a long time and has never had an accident like this. Logically, their technology should be very mature - are you sure?"
Lent laughed at Pierkin's casual question. "The fact that there weren't any problems in the past just means they were lucky. The production of the Fury series' power components is inherently risky. Even our Truth Company's official production lines have the highest safety standards... Isn't it to be expected that these black market products would have problems?"
Pierkin nodded. "That being said, it's a serious matter after all, and there haven't been any problems in the past few years..."
"We'll definitely continue our investigation. Don't worry, when the time comes, Truth's experts will compile the evidence from the scene and send a copy to your Security Bureau," Lent said with a smile. "Don't overthink it, Inspector Pierkin... After all, the destruction of this illegal manufacturing gang that your Security Bureau has been unable to crack down on for years, and which has caused our Truth Company so much financial loss, is a good thing no matter how you look at it, isn't it?"
Pierkin also laughed. "That's right, that's right. I'll go through the normal process then. I hope Team Leader Lent will cooperate."
Hearing Pierkin's words, Lent nodded and signaled his men to let them go.
Only then did the security personnel enter the factory.
After watching the security officers enter, Lent returned to the Weeping Stick's car, took off his protective helmet and knocked on the window.
"Director Arthur, I've helped you deal with the people from the Security Bureau."
The car window opened, Lin Yu looked at Lunt and bowed.
"Thank you so much, Captain Lunt—thank you for covering this up for me."
Lunt laughed and said, "It's a small matter. After all, you are also helping President Paris."
He has a keen sense of smell. Not only does he have accurate judgment on the overall situation, he is also well-informed about small things!
For example, if President Paris had just met with a mysterious security director, Lent would naturally know the news immediately.
After all... as a senior executive who occupies an important position in the security department and whose status is almost equivalent to that of the Minister of Security, although Lent is not Paris's closest confidant, he is also a trustworthy subordinate and long-term partner. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the core of Paris' faction.
Lin Yu saw this point and took the initiative to reveal his identity - since it was the Security Department that came to deal with this matter, he didn't need to panic at all.
even……
For Lin Yu, this is more than just a crisis.
In his opinion, since Team Leader Lent was also a member of the Paris faction, this accident could be turned into an opportunity for him to further elevate the identity of "John H. Arthur"!
