"Freedom of choice?"
Er Zhuang said suspiciously, "Do you want Liao Zhong to approve of your choice? If it's really that simple... Liao Zhong has never noticed Chen Duo's true thoughts? "
Liu Xiaojiang took out the phone in his pocket and found the confidential document that Er Zhuang had sent him.
As he carefully flipped through the detailed records of Chen Duo's experience, he stroked his chin and frowned slightly.
"Er Zhuang, Liao Zhong is also one of the people in charge of the secret castle. According to this document and the recording just now, I understand that he is different from the staff of the secret castle who take care of Wu Xiangyou."
"Although he looks and sounds like a middle-aged man with a rough personality, Liao Zhong is indeed a good guy. He takes good care of a special existence like Chen Duo. He might even treat Chen Duo as his daughter."
"But..."
He put the phone back into his pocket and continued with a complicated expression,
"I don't doubt that everything Liao Zhong has done in the secret castle over the years is for Chen Duo's sake. I also know that he wants to give Chen Duo a normal future... or even freedom. However, to a certain extent, his actions are no different from the Medicine Immortal Association back then."
"I admit that Liao Zhong and the Medicine Immortal Association have different goals. He doesn't intend to use Chen Duo, the Gu Body Holy Child, to do anything. The reason why he made Chen Duo a temporary worker... is also to compromise for the future 'freedom'. He wants to use this to prove to the company's higher-ups that Chen Duo is safe and stable."
"But..."
"He ignored Chen Duo's personal growth. If it was the girl who had just been saved from the Medicine Immortal Association, it would be understandable for him to do this... because other than making voodoo, the girl almost didn't know anything in this world. She didn't even know how to think.
At that time, Chen Duo really needed someone to help her make choices and guide her to gradually integrate and accept everything in this world. "
At this point...
A layer of deep regret appeared in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes as he said in a low voice,
"Liao Zhong was right in the beginning, but after Chen Duo really grew up, I don't know if he was already used to making decisions for Chen Duo... he completely ignored that Chen Duo was no longer the Gu Body Holy Child from back then. As usual, he still wouldn't ask or understand Chen Duo's current thoughts.
It could be said...
"Although he did everything out of kindness and hoped that Chen Duo could have a relatively normal life, his actions in recent years were the same as the Medicine Immortal Association back then. He didn't give Chen Duo the chance to choose her own life and ignored Chen Duo's thoughts as a human individual."

One Day...
You saved me from a comfortable life. You Zhuang You said that you wanted to give me freedom. You You You Me.
Forgive me for not being able to understand what you meant.
Now I understand.
Yes, you're right. It's hell.
I Am Not Normal
I Am Not Me
But...
What about freedom?
You said you would arrange a happy life for me.
But he never asked me … What is true happiness for the current me?
... I. I....
That's not what I want.
Why don't you take a good look at me now?
Why aren't you willing to ask me what I want?
You said you would give me freedom.
I don't even have the right to choose my own life.
You said you wanted to give me happiness.
But you only gave me things that I didn't want …

The more Liu Xiaojiang thought about the problem from Chen Duo's point of view, the more he felt that Liao Zhong did not care about Chen Duo's thoughts at all. He also had a full understanding of the matter between Liao Zhong and Chen Duo. He just did not expect... Why did Chen Duo leave so suddenly this time?
"Brother Xiao Jiang, before the old man left, he told me that he needed the temporary workers of the other six regions to join forces to hunt down Chen Duo. It's very likely that the company's headquarters wants to take the opportunity to attack the temporary worker system."
"After all..."
"In a sense, the company's temporary workers are actually the private armed forces of the various regional heads. If there's a need... the regional heads can even use this system to hide the identity of the temporary workers, as long as they are willing... except for the regional heads and directors.
Generally, no one is qualified to retrieve the information of the temporary workers from the company. "
"Chen Duo is also a temporary worker. Moreover, the 'Venomous Body Holy Child' is also an extremely dangerous existence..."
"This joint mission to hunt down Chen Duo is nothing more than to use the temporary workers to clean up the company's mess. At the same time, they want to understand the true identity of the temporary workers of the various regions. Even if something happens after that... the death of the temporary workers can't be blamed on the company. The losses will only be the private armed forces of the various regional heads."
At this point...
Er Zhuang's tone suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Of course, even if the company's headquarters really wants to take action against the temporary worker system, they definitely won't deliberately target the Northeast Region. This can be seen as an open conspiracy to test the attitude of all the temporary workers towards the company."
Hearing this...
Liu Xiaojiang did not care about the company's intention to attack the temporary worker system. After all, Chen Duo had already killed Liao Zhong. It was normal for the directors to feel that the current temporary worker system was inappropriate.
He pondered for a while about Chen Duo's question. Then, he slowly said,
"Er Zhuang, where is Chen Duo now? What is the company's attitude towards Chen Duo's question this time? "
"Chen Duo is currently hiding in a village near Guizhou's Liupanshui. The company's attitude is... we want to see her if she's alive. If she's dead, we want to see her corpse," Er Zhuang said carefully.
"However..."
"Brother Xiao Jiang, according to the directors' usual approach towards problems, as well as the orders that were mixed in the field recording..."
"Chen Duo must be fully responsible for Liao Zhong's death. Even if the temporary workers have the ability to bring her back alive, the company's best case scenario for Chen Duo... I'm afraid it won't be any better."
Hearing this...
Liu Xiaojiang nodded as expected. "As expected, it's still a one-cut solution. If that's the case... I reckon that even if the directors can understand Liao Zhong's death in the end, they will still deal with Chen Duo, this uncontrollable abnormal existence."
After saying that, without waiting for Er Zhuang's response, he suddenly chuckled and said,
"Er Zhuang, based on personal feelings, do you think Chen Duo deserves to die?"
"If it's just personal feelings..." Er Zhuang hesitated. "I don't want her to die, but..."
"Chen Duo once sought death in front of Liao Zhong."
Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and interrupted, "But Liao Zhong is already dead. She is still alive. I guess that although she can accept the outcome of death, she might not really want to die."
"If that's the case, then give her a choice. A choice that allows her to stay with her own kind and live to decide her future."
