The next day,
The headquarters of the company,
In Zhao Fangxu's private office,
"They want you to go abroad to do something?"
After Zhao Fangxu understood the purpose of the meeting with Liu Xiaojiang, he immediately stood up from the sofa with a frown. Then, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back with his head lowered.
"This is troublesome, troublesome..."
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Zhao Fangxu, who was walking around under his nose, and couldn't help but have some doubts.
"Although I have to prove myself this time, in the end, it's just a mission. Is there any big trouble that I haven't seen clearly..."
"It's not that you haven't seen clearly, you don't know at all..." Zhao Fangxu stopped and turned to look at Liu Xiaojiang, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "Those foreign mutants..."
"Xiao Jiang, although there are descriptions of those guys in the company's internal publications, they are more of a historical record and superficial understanding of their methods..."
"Oh..." Liu Xiaojiang thought that Zhao Fangxu wanted to say something, but he didn't expect that he was just afraid of those foreign mutants.
"Chairman Zhao, do you mean that those foreign mutants are not weak, at least not as bad as what the company's publications described...?"
"The publications didn't say how bad those guys were..." Zhao Fangxu was still frowning as he pushed up his glasses and said,
"Now, even Er Zhuang can't reach out abroad. Last time, when she helped us investigate information about the Nason islanders, that girl also spent a lot of effort to retrieve some of the content from the external network. You... How much do you know about those foreign mutants?"
"It's not like we're going to wipe them out..." Liu Xiaojiang looked at the serious-looking Zhao Fangxu. He still looked down on those foreign mutants because he had already learned about the methods used by those foreign mutants when he was at the Qinling 24 Section of the Sky Valley.
"If we only talk about the intrinsic level of their methods, or what can each other's methods bring to themselves..."
"Chairman Zhao, the ancient sects that have been passed down for thousands of years on our side might have a harder time getting started than them. Even in the later stages, we might not be as strong as them …"
"But at the end of our bitter training, the personal heights that we can reach are definitely not something that alchemy and witchcraft can compare to …"
"As for the two people who showed their faces on Mount Longhu a few months ago, as well as the ninjutsu they used to fight against the seniors in the circle on the battlefield, as well as some other unknown techniques …"
At this point,
Liu Xiaojiang slowly knitted his brows. "Part of the reason is that the 'upper limit' of our methods has become lower, and the other part is … the gap between people and techniques."
"After all, most of the methods on our side, except for the Tang Sect, didn't exist to kill from the beginning. When the 'upper limit' between people and techniques is about the same, this is just like the initial stage that I mentioned just now …"
"Because, compared to us who are passionate about exploring and pursuing a more perfect self, the methods used by those foreign mutants are obviously more powerful when fighting against people …"
"… Although this is the first time I've heard of this, since you are very clear about the differences between the foreign and domestic mutants, why did you agree to this troublesome matter so quickly?" Zhao Fangxu couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Xiao Jiang, although you have the ability to destroy the Wang Family alone, and there is no doubt that your ability is outstanding, to give those foreign mutants a similar experience as the one in the country, or even a heavier blow … Are you really confident that you can do such a thing?"
"Foreign countries are not like our country. Even if the higher-ups say that they will provide a certain amount of support, if you are really surrounded by a large number of enemies, I think that even you will be fierce …"
"Heh … If I don't agree, do I have any other choice?" Liu Xiaojiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Chairman Zhao, it's not that you don't know my situation. If I don't agree to this dangerous mission that can prove myself, I will only leave a more negative impression on the higher-ups …"
"In that case …"
"Liu Xiaojiang, who is a temporary worker who knows everything, will completely disappear. After that, it is very likely that the higher-ups will regard him as a true all-around sect leader on the spot …"
"Liu Xiaojiang no longer exists. Yinggou is a purely unstable factor. This guy who walked together with the Allomantic Sorcerer and led the Allomantic Sorcerer to run amok … can only be the Sorcerer leader in their eyes."
"Sigh, the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop …"
Hearing this..,
Zhao Fangxu sat back down on the sofa with complicated emotions. He looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who was obviously very tired, and couldn't help but say subconsciously,
"Xiao Jiang, in the face of such a situation, you are obviously a good person, but you can't get trust. You can only be used endlessly. You … don't feel hatred at all? Don't you think this is unfair at all?"
"You are still so young, and there are very few things you desire. Even the thing you want the most is to live freely according to the rules. But now, you are always encountering such things. You … Don't you want to destroy everything?"
"It's not easy to be a person in one's life …" Liu Xiaojiang was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and shook his head.
"There are too many unfair things in this world. But compared to other uncivilized creatures, those beasts who still abide by the law of the jungle and only the strong deserve to live, even if this world isn't fair, at least the weak can still feel a trace of hope …"
"Besides …"
"Family, friends … and these people who are closely related to you, the most important group of people. Although it is normal for people to be selfish, if you are too selfish … I think you will feel more tired sooner or later."
"… Xiao Jiang, you are really too outstanding," Zhao Fangxu looked at Liu Xiaojiang for a long time, then smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"For a young man like you to appear, perhaps God is really good to the ordinary people in the world. Sometimes … I really wonder if you are a human. How can you always maintain such a calm attitude at such a young age … It's too rare."
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.
Zhao Fangxu didn't notice Liu Xiaojiang's strange look. He slightly eased his admiration for Liu Xiaojiang in his heart, reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said worriedly,
"Since you've already decided to go and don't want me to drag things out with the higher-ups, then I can only ask you to be very, very careful. Don't put yourself in danger because of your rash actions. I still need you to come back and help me deal with the chaos in the industry."
"And …"
"Xiao Jiang, you must remember that the mission can fail because as long as you are willing to prove yourself, as long as you have really gone, then even if the mission fails, I have the confidence to protect you. But you can't die outside. If you die … you have to give me a chance to collect your corpse."
"…" Liu Xiaojiang was silent again. He didn't know what to say at all.
Although he could understand Zhao Fangxu's good intentions, it didn't sound very pleasant after all. It was even a bit like cursing him to die a horrible death …
Then.
"Chairman Zhao, after I leave, what about Er Zhuang and Chen Duo …" Liu Xiaojiang thought about it and slowly opened his mouth.
"I have my own arrangements for the two little girls …" Zhao Fangxu immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry. If you find that the two little girls are missing a single strand of hair after you come back … You can come over and pluck out all my beards."
"… Oh, that's a good joke. You're really funny." Liu Xiaojiang said with a smile.
"Don't forget about the matter that I mentioned before …"
"About Xiao Gao? Of course I didn't forget … "Zhao Fangxu pondered for a moment, then said," But Xiao Gao is after all the regional director of the company and the only person in charge of the Gao family. If there isn't a proper reason … "
"I understand …" Liu Xiaojiang nodded.
"After all, Old Gao is Er Zhuang's biological father. He has always been running around for his daughter's survival. I can even guess the reason why he chose to do this … because it's nothing more than for Er Zhuang to live well."
"I understand …" Zhao Fangxu thought for a moment, but still frowned and said, "But he can't ignore the lives of others just for his daughter. When Ma Xianhong was kidnapped, many people in the company died. Even the employees in charge of transportation were not spared …"
Hearing this …
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Zhao Fangxu strangely and said, "Chairman Zhao, are you misunderstanding something?"
"I said that Old Gao might have a deal with someone, and he might even be a mole arranged by the other party in the company. This is also one of the reasons why the other party knows so much about the company's situation …"
"But the person in charge of the company didn't know about Ma Xianhong's transportation route in Bi You Village. Moreover, the reason why Old Gao gave himself away was because he acted strangely in front of me. This strangeness … is also proof that he doesn't want to continue."
"And …"
"Old Gao's situation is obviously different from Ma Xianhong's. He isn't completely controlled by someone. This is also the main reason why I noticed his hesitation and resistance at the beginning …"
"You mean …" Zhao Fangxu was stunned for a moment, then he said more seriously.
"Little Gao isn't the only one in the company. The suspicion of the board of directors hasn't been completely ruled out …"
"This is the only way to explain the incident in Bi You Village. Old Gao doesn't have the ability to get Ma Xianhong's transportation route under your nose." Liu Xiaojiang nodded slightly.
"In addition, I guess the reason why the company's' wide bench 'didn't ask anything is because the other person's situation is roughly the same as Old Gao's. They are both' completely 'controlled by someone who isn't completely controlled …"
"Maybe …"
"Now, in the eyes of Old Gao and that person, everything they've done during this period, including communicating the company's situation to the enemy and leaking Ma Xianhong's transportation route … They didn't betray anyone. They're all in a state of having a clear conscience."
"They thought they were right to make a reasonable deal with the other party and thought that the other party was more correct than the company … They even became good friends with the other party. Although it sounds ridiculous, it's more or less like that."
"Xiao Jiang, the other person … Who do you think it is?" Zhao Fangxu asked tentatively.
"… Hmm." Liu Xiaojiang lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he slowly raised his head and said.
"I remember when I was in Bi You Village, because of the problems with Chen Duo, the black manager once mentioned the situation of the company's secret fortress. He said that he had encountered some things, including the so-called 'Life of Storm' …"
"Chairman Zhao, to be honest …"
"Actually, I can't confirm who the other party is. But since the board of directors is the biggest suspect, they should at least give the other party a chance to make a move. Usually, when the board of directors meet with the people in the circle, it's unlikely that it's just them and the other party …"
"In this case, how could the other party use means to control others? Could it be that the other party could instantly control the other party as soon as they meet?"
"If that's the case, why didn't the other party control you, Chairman Zhao, who has more power in the dark and has more authority in the company?"
"…" Zhao Fangxu was speechless.
"Because there are conditions …" Liu Xiaojiang continued.
"And, no matter what the other conditions are, the most likely one of them is that they need at least some time to control others. Why weren't you controlled, Chairman Zhao? It should be because the other party didn't have the chance and time to do it."
"If it's really as I guessed, then the most likely person to be controlled on the board of directors, and the one who has the time to be successfully controlled by the other party, is most likely the person in charge of the secret fortress back then and still is now …"
"After all, at present, only the secret fortress can allow the current board of directors to come into contact with the other party for a long time or alone."
"Bo Ren, or You Long?" Zhao Fangxu frowned tightly, as if his two eyebrows were connected into one.
"Xiao Jiang, if this is indeed the case, and there is indeed a mole planted in the company by the other party between Bo Ren and You Long, then the identity of the other party is also …"
"The possibility is not high." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head.
"You should know that Zhang Chulan, Ma Xianhong, and I saw Ma Xianhong's' disguise 'in the abandoned bunker. This means that he at least has the means to disguise himself so that ordinary people can't recognize him …"
"But …"
At this point, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhao Fangxu with sparkling eyes.
"Chairman Zhao, it's exactly because of this that you can investigate which one of the problematic Mutants that left the Dark Fortress has lost all traces of them."
"If someone really disappeared from this world after leaving the Dark Fortress, wouldn't it mean that my guess today is most likely to have grasped a key point? Between Director Huang and Director Bi … I don't have to explain further, right?" Rhode asked. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he stared at Rhode's face.
"I see …" Zhao Fangxu was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes under the glasses.
"That's not a bad idea …"
"… Who said it isn't?" Liu Xiaojiang's eyes flashed with a trace of success, then he got up from the sofa and walked to the door.
"Chairman Zhao, then I'll leave these matters to you. If there is an emergency and you can't contact me for the time being …"
After saying that, Liu Xiaojiang directly reached out and opened the door, motioning for the unfamiliar man with glasses outside to enter the room, he said,
"Then let this all-purpose demon disguised as a company employee contact the Feng family of the World Society to help you settle this matter …"
As soon as he finished speaking..,
Under Zhao Fangxu's astonished gaze, the unfamiliar man wearing glasses bowed and nodded politely. He said, "I'm sorry.
"Chairman Zhao, according to Mr. Sect Leader's instructions, Shen Chong, during this period of time … please take care of me."
"…" Zhao Fangxu.
