Chapter 452 The Era of Cyberpunk



Chapter 452 The Era of Cyberpunk

Qin Chengren raised his head and drank the tea in the cup. The slightly bitter tea slid down his throat, but it could not dispel the gloom between his brows. The porcelain cup fell on the table with a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet bar.

"Are you worried... that there are still people from their team in the Public Security Bureau?" Chu Yun leaned forward and lowered her voice. As an insider, she knew the current situation in the Public Security Bureau better than anyone else.

Qin Chengren's fingertips unconsciously rubbed the rim of the cup, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.

"This information is a hot potato," he said with a wry smile. "If it is intercepted after being sent up, not only will it not be able to do anything to Dong Feipeng, but it will also bring trouble to myself."

Qin Chengren felt suffocated by the knowledge that even the first-level inspector who claimed to be absolutely neutral was secretly controlled by someone behind the scenes.

As his mind raced, every familiar face was now shrouded in a shadow of suspicion. Trust? In this complex system, this word seemed so luxurious.

But if he was asked to stop there and seal up the shocking evidence forever... Qin Chengren clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. No, even if the road ahead was dangerous, he would never let those people go unpunished.

"You might consider handing over the information you compiled to the inspectors affiliated with Yuanfan Machinery Group. At least their identities can be confirmed."

Chu Yun's words were like a flash of lightning, splitting the fog in Qin Chengren's mind.

He couldn't help but be stunned and was very surprised by Chu Yun's suggestion.

"What you mean is... to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" There was some doubt and hesitation in Qin Chengren's voice.

Currently in Dongdu, the conflict between Yuanfan Machinery and Luohua Pharmaceutical has become almost public.

This is not because there is a direct conflict between the two companies in the business field. After all, the business areas they are engaged in are very different and cannot be said to be related at all.

The real problem is that both companies have ambitions to regard Dongdu as their own backyard.

As the saying goes, "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain." In the limited market of Dongdu, Yuanfan Machinery and Luohua Pharmaceutical both want to dominate the market and become the undisputed overlord.

As an important power institution in Dongdu, the Public Security Bureau naturally became the focus of competition between the two large conglomerates.

If the information in Qin Chengren's hands fell into the hands of Yuanfan Machinery Group, they would definitely not miss this excellent opportunity to attack Luohua Pharmaceutical.

In this way, Qin Chengren can not only achieve his goal, but also avoid direct conflict with Luohua Pharmaceutical, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Regardless of what the situation is behind the scenes, on the surface alone, the federal government's control over Dongdu is still as solid as a rock. Even the powerful Yuanfan Machinery Group does not dare to openly interfere with the actions of the Public Security Bureau at this time.

However, what is unexpected is that Luohua Pharmaceutical was secretly making trouble, instructing others to use the Public Security Department to transfer the deep diver's original body with extremely high research value.

No matter from which angle you look at this matter, it is undoubtedly a clear violation of the law.

“Regarding the aspect you mentioned, I have indeed thought deeply about it, but for some reason, I always feel that doing so is somewhat like aiding and abetting evil.

After all, we assisted Yuanfan Machinery Group in overthrowing Dong Xunjian, so the new inspector who was appointed in the end might be their man. In this way, in the end, nothing has actually changed substantially. "

"So, have you ever thought about how the final result would be different if you acted according to your method?

You must know that Yuanfan Machinery Group has already gained considerable control over the Public Security Bureau. What they lack is just an opportunity to completely replace it.

If you choose to resist, there are probably only two outcomes: either resign in disgrace or disappear without a trace.”

This is the current reality. Whether we are willing to face it or not, it stands there like an indestructible mountain. Even if we close our eyes and cover our ears, we cannot ignore or erase it.

Today we are in an era of rapid development of information technology, with various advanced technologies emerging in an endless stream. Among them, artificial intelligence Alpha is integrated with various information technologies to form a huge and complex network system.

This network system not only covers every corner of society, but also gradually replaces most of the government's functions.

In this new era, some daily livelihood tasks that originally required the participation of government personnel can now be completed entirely through various mechanical equipment.

People only need to go to specific locations, and these mechanical devices will automatically evaluate and record them, no longer having to rely on manual operations by government workers as in the past.

This phenomenon has developed particularly rapidly in the past 100 years. During this period, the progress of science and technology has been as rapid as a rocket, constantly promoting social change and development.

In such an environment, government departments have to carry out drastic reforms and reorganizations of their own systems and structures in order to keep pace with the times and avoid being eliminated by the times.

But what kind of change is the right one? This is indeed a thought-provoking question.

It is important to know that no reform can be guaranteed to succeed at once and without error. Pains and failures are inevitable on the road to reform, and the government is no exception.

In order to adapt to the rapid development of the times, the government must constantly make changes. However, sometimes such changes are not easy.

The speed of development in today's era is beyond imagination. New things emerge almost every moment, and they quickly replace those that were considered contemporary trends the day before.

This means that when the government is exploring a new organizational form and preparing to make changes, new things and situations will emerge one after another, forcing them to make new changes again.

In this era, technology is developing rapidly, and various cutting-edge technological products are emerging in an endless stream. However, surprisingly, these technological products that were once strictly controlled by the government are no longer under its control.

Whether it is high-tech equipment in the military field or various innovative products in the civilian market, nearly 70% of the key technologies that constitute the core of society are controlled by large multinational groups.

As time goes by, the government's presence in people's lives gradually becomes weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the products of these multinational groups are like a surging tide, pouring into the entire federal market with an unstoppable attitude.

Whether it is food, clothing, housing or transportation, almost all the necessities of life come from brands owned by the same company.

This means that even if you can choose not to have direct communication with the government in a relatively stable living environment, as long as you step out of your home, you will inevitably be exposed to the products and services of these multinational groups.

You have to passively accept the information they convey because it is no longer the government but these powerful multinational corporations that truly influence your daily life.

After a century of evolution and transition, these multinational corporations and major chaebols are gradually becoming the iconic existence of this era in the eyes of the public. Their influence is everywhere and has penetrated into all levels of society. This has become a fact that cannot be ignored.

Despite their immense wealth and power, these people are currently unable to become true leaders.

This is because over the past hundred years, as society has gradually become more stable, the government’s presence may have weakened, but it still exists and is recognized by most of the people.

As an organization, the government's existence is not only to maintain social order and provide public services, but also to represent a power structure and institutional framework.

This structure and framework has a certain stability and authority in society, and it is difficult to be completely replaced even today when science and technology are highly developed.

In addition, the government's judicial system is also something that the chaebols cannot easily replace with technology. The judicial system is responsible for maintaining the fairness and enforcement of the law and ensuring social fairness and justice.

These institutions handle various disputes and crimes through legal procedures and professional legal personnel. Their authority and impartiality are important guarantees for social stability.

Although the development of technology may have an impact on certain government functions, many difficulties and challenges need to be overcome to completely replace the role of the government and its judicial institutions.

Therefore, in the current social environment, although the chaebols have strong economic power, they still cannot become real leaders, and the government and its judicial institutions still play a vital role in society.
