Chapter 29 Paranoia

After being bored for a while at the entrance of the headquarters, Aaron noticed a middle-aged man wearing a beret walking slowly towards him from a distance.

"Is that the captain you're talking about?" Aaron quickly asked Kong Wei, who was in a daze.

"Yes, that's him. Damn it, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't want to deal with him." I caught a glimpse of the man, Kong Wei, curling his lips and muttering full of resentment.

According to Kong Wei, the person they were about to deal with was an arrogant paranoid. However, considering Kong Wei's unreliability and the possible personal grudge between the two, Kong Wei's testimony was not very convincing, so Aaron directly put himself

I sent the appearance I saw to Lan Tian to see if Lan Tian could find any clues from the Internet.

"He's still a celebrity." Lan Tian replied almost instantly.

"What's the background?" Aaron asked hurriedly.

"This man's name is Lei Bao. He has more than ten years of working experience in the Jincheng branch of Dingqing Machinery and has been the security director. Eight years ago, there was a violent protest against Dingqing Machinery in Jincheng. He was responsible for

There was a serious bloody conflict between the security team of the company and the protest group that broke into the company, resulting in a total of four people dead and nearly a hundred people, including himself, injured to varying degrees."

"Are there any prosthetic implants in the protest group?"

"The protest group is mainly composed of prosthetic implanters, conservative religious elements and unemployed workers. According to records at the time, the first person who had a violent conflict with the security team was indeed a prosthetic implanter. Three of the four deceased were also prosthetic implanters.

Intruders may be because the security team feels that these people pose a great threat and therefore takes heavy action."

"Then why does he appear here again?" Aaron was very surprised.

"It's probably because Dingqing Machinery is not kind enough to its own people." Lan Tian's voice was a bit sad, "Most of the casualties in that conflict were protesters. As a corporate entity, Dingqing Machinery's abuse of violence has been criticized by both the government and public opinion.

They were unanimously criticized within the company, although judging from the objective results, they were the ones who suffered the most in the whole incident, and some people are still saying that the protest was a conspiracy by a competing company."

"Ah, I understand. The security director was finally pulled out to take the blame?" Aaron was quite familiar with this type of public opinion manipulation.

"Yes, Dingqing Machinery characterized the whole incident as a tragedy caused by Lei Bao's personal loss of control. He also mobilized a team of lawyers to take him to court and made him spend three years in prison. What's even more cruel is that Dingqing Machinery did not give this

He was so disabled in the incident that he had to receive prosthetic implants in prison to maintain his normal mobility."

"It's no wonder he turned against me." No one could stand such a cunning move.

"After he was released from prison, he has been engaged in social activities in communities where prosthetic implants are densely populated, and has participated in the establishment of several civil organizations that claim to be neighborly mutual aid but are actually more similar to gangs in nature. Most of these groups have violent and xenophobic tendencies.

, their numbers have always been hung in the police station, and they were the first group of people to be deported by the government after the incident of implanters losing control, regardless of whether these people had lost control during the incident." Lan Tian added.

"So the so-called police force is a combination of these organizations." Lei Bao had already walked closer while the two were exchanging information. "It seems that I'd better think about how to introduce myself to this dear friend."

"You said the representative wanted to see me for something?" After glancing at the situation at the door, Lei Bao came to Kong Wei and asked directly.

"This is not the place to talk. What I'm going to talk to you about next is very important, and not everyone can just listen." Kong Wei pretended to be mysterious.

"Huh, sneaky." Lei Bao snorted coldly, "Okay, you come with me."

The two of them walked into the headquarters, and Aaron followed them in a familiar manner.

"Who is this, the representative's new follower?" Lei Bao immediately noticed him and asked with some disdain.

"I work for the district chief." Aaron rolled his eyes and revealed an unexpected identity.

"To whom?!" Lei Bao's body was obviously excited.

"Chief of the Ninth District, if you haven't been lazy in your security work, you should know where he is." Aaron smiled slightly and continued to pull the banner.

"That old man hiding behind the concrete?" Lei Bao curled his lips and said as if to show off his knowledge of District 9, "The old man has a very big air. I came to your door several times to ask for his help, but he was locked out.

Hang on, why are you in the mood to send someone to my place now?"

"Of course it's because it's necessary." Aaron deliberately made himself appear incomprehensible, "Mr. Kong, you can explain it to him."

"Okay, you have the final say." Kong Wei, who didn't understand what was going on at all, was confused when he saw Aaron indicating that it was okay and stopped, "Do you know that someone is planning to use bombs to attack us?

A terrorist attack?”

"Is this happening?" Lei Bao's reaction was exactly the same as Kong Yuzhang's.

"It's absolutely true. This is the information we got from the military," Aaron said as if he was a source. "Some high-energy explosives have been transported into the ninth district."

"Could it be that the government is doing it to make us kill each other?" As expected, as Kong Wei commented, Lei Bao's thinking logic is quite paranoid. This person lacks the most basic trust in public power and is even very hostile to it.

"The government may cause trouble, but what good does that do to the military? The military is now responsible for the security of the Ninth District. The trouble in the Ninth District will only make them more passive in the political arena. This kind of harm to others is not beneficial to oneself.

Who will do it?" Aaron analyzed for Lei Bao.

"That's dog eat dog." Lei Bao still looked paranoid, "I think this whole incident is a complete conspiracy. It was done by the big companies that controlled the government behind the scenes to eradicate all of us who hindered their business.

That’s an excuse, maybe when we are all gathered into the quarantine area they will drop atomic bombs on our heads!”

"...Do I need to remind you that District 9 is in the center of a metropolis with a population of nearly 10 million?" Aaron couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. People who believe in conspiracy theories to this extent can no longer just use anti-intellectual words to summarize.

"If you take the nonsense he said casually seriously, you will lose." Even Kong Wei couldn't stand it and interrupted the increasingly outrageous conversation, "Someone who wants to explode on our territory is a real threat. We must stop this."

The security team has a duty to do this, and we need your people to cooperate."

"Cooperate? How can you let me cooperate with you?" Lei Bao sneered and glanced at Kong Wei, "I already know the matter, and I will be responsible for the rest. You guys wait on the side for me to arrest the person.

Just come out."

"How dare you refuse my uncle's request?!" Kong Wei finally couldn't stand this guy's arrogance anymore, but all he could do was use his uncle's name.

"You think you can command me just by carrying your uncle?" Lei Bao rolled his eyes, "It's not my turn for an outsider to come here and make irresponsible remarks, and I won't take orders from you, a loser, about what I'm going to say now.

After that, you can get out, and don’t let me ask someone to clear you out.”

"You, you!" Kong Wei was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he couldn't think of any suitable words to say to fight back.

"What if even your people are infiltrated?" Aaron said what Kong Wei had analyzed to him before, "If you want to successfully cause trouble here, the easiest and most convenient way is to directly bribe or infiltrate

A few guards responsible for maintaining order, law enforcement officers are the last people to be noticed when conducting crime screening."

"Yes, yes, are all your people so trustworthy?" Kong Wei then slapped his forehead and followed Aaron's words.

This time it was Lei Bao's turn to be silent. It seemed that paranoia and arrogance had not completely taken over his reason. Even he knew that the complex group of people under his command were not trustworthy at all.

If they betray their compatriots, it is more likely that they have been the nail in the coffin from the beginning.

"Since you know it yourself, you should know how difficult it is for a loose organization like yours to conduct self-screening. Cooperating with us, outsiders in your eyes, may make you uncomfortable. At least it can provide surveillance from the outside.
