Chapter 221 - 209 Feiliu 1
"Does that mean I will be subjected to increased control?" Li Chengyi was beginning to understand.
"Pretty much, after all, just like in ancient times, the authorities might tolerate small knives being used freely, but they would never allow cannons to roam around at will," Liu Tongbei said with a smile. "But you don’t need to worry. The so-called surveillance is not to restrict freedom, but to check with all individuals nearby on the list through a phone call in case of any dangerous event that is assessed to exceed commercial limits. At that time, you just need to provide your coordinates and status, and there will be no problems."
"Calls like this might not even happen once a year. After all, most incidents are far below commercial limits."
"If the people of the Jiu Yi are so powerful, why didn’t they intervene when Utopia was causing trouble?" Li Chengyi asked coldly.
"It’s quite simple. It’s a matter of territorial influence," Liu Tongbei answered. "Fengnan Province is not under their jurisdiction. And, aren’t you misunderstanding something? They are not some messengers of justice. As long as it doesn’t concern them, they don’t care about your usual affairs. If it weren’t for you getting on their radar this time, I wouldn’t have come to warn you."
Li Chengyi was silent.
He suddenly recalled the news that Utopia had been severely damaged; now it seemed that the power of the upper echelons of Yi Country might have revealed just a sliver of itself before him.
On further thought, indeed, if you replaced the common Mini Feiyi with a bigger warship or aircraft, carrying a large amount of modular system weapons, and supplemented them with powerful AI... that power...
One man becoming an army was no longer just a story from legend.
"Regardless, you need to be careful from now on. I can’t tell you which faction within the Jiu Yi that has ties with the Noel Group, but I can tell you which peripheral forces they can mobilize—are part of the Jiu Yi," Liu Tongbei stopped walking and took a long breath.
"Thank you, Commissioner Liu! I will repay you in the future!" Li Chengyi didn’t know what to say, so he simply responded with a dry cliché.
