Now..,
For Chen Duo, who already had a lot of freedom, Liu Xiaojiang and Gao Yushan, the two people who 'saved' her, were undoubtedly the two most important existences in her heart.
Trust?
No..
Even if Chen Duo had completely grasped all the common sense in the world, the thoughts in her head would still be affected by the past, causing her feelings for Liu Xiaojiang and Gao Yushan to not be the kind of trust that normal people could understand. Instead, it was more like a kind of absolute loyalty.
As a result, no matter what the two of them asked Chen Duo to do, even if it was something that the common sense in her mind did not allow, she would still choose to do it unswervingly …
However, there was no one who would force or order Chen Duo to do what she should do. Everything that she had decided on now was a choice that she made herself …
Therefore, even if it didn't seem much different from before, for a girl like Chen Duo who had special thoughts, the current situation was the happiness that she had occasionally yearned for …
Liu Xiaojiang and Gao Yushan were very clear about this, but they didn't want Chen Duo's happiness to become a tool for the two of them. They also understood that changing this girl's views wasn't something that could be done overnight.
Therefore, during these days, as long as they had the opportunity, they would not interfere with this girl's independent choice while taking into account Chen Duo's thoughts. They would also not leave any traces and slowly guide her step by step …
Although the results of doing this were minimal, it was good that the two of them sincerely hoped that Chen Duo could obtain true personal happiness in the future, and not use her body as a tool to bring a morbid sense of satisfaction to others and herself …
Because …
Chen Duo was a person, not a tool.
…
A few hours later,
Everywhere connected to the northeast region branch,
Liu Xiaojiang chatted with the little girl in Chen Duo's room for a long time, so much so that it took a lot of effort to make the little girl stop being conflicted.
After that, he carefully checked the activity of the primordial poison in the little girl's body again before leaving. Just in case, he once again used the corpse poison to devour and suppress the poison.
Furthermore, because of the Liuku Immortal Thief he obtained from Barran, he could sense the little girl's physical condition improving when he devoured and suppressed the Primordial Gu Poison. As a result, the little girl didn't feel any pain during the process.
This was obviously a good sign, which meant that the Liuku Immortal Thief's unique skill was indeed helpful for Chen Duo's situation. At the very least, it was as Er Zhuang had described. As for the problem of having both hands … Chen Duo still had a lot of time to wait.
As he thought about it,
Liu Xiaojiang ignored the colleagues on duty near the entrance of the company. Then, he quietly released the Qi in his body to sense. He walked slowly toward the office of the person in charge of the company where Gao Lian was.
However.
"Xiao Jiang, what time is it? Why did you come to the company so late? Are you here to look for Old Gao?"
Liu Xiaojiang had just walked into the company and was about to take the elevator directly to the floor where Gao Lian was when he was stopped by Old Liu, who was obviously also on duty tonight.
Liu Xiang, a straightforward big brother from the northeast who practiced martial arts. When he first came into contact with the company, he was one of the company employees who came to 'negotiate' with him.
This person could be considered one of the few trustworthy right-hand men of Gao Lian in the northeast region. Other than him, the others … were all arranged to be by Er Zhuang's side to be responsible for security.
Liu Xiaojiang's position in the company was a temporary worker, and in theory, the direct leader was Gao Lian. Naturally, he knew these company employees who had a good relationship with Gao Lian.
Moreover, when he left the northeast region and went to Mount Longhu to learn the Golden Light Spell, Liu Xiang was the person who was appointed by Gao Lian to be in charge of handing him over to Xu San.
Liu Xiaojiang knew this middle-aged man who was called 'Old Liu' by everyone. Moreover, due to their previous contact and his straightforward personality, he believed that the other party should feel familiar with him.
"Old Liu, what's the matter?" Although he should address the other party as' Brother Liu 'out of politeness, Liu Xiaojiang continued to address him as' Old Liu 'just like the others in the Northeast Region when he recalled the dissatisfaction he felt from being addressed as' Brother Liu '.
"Hey, what can I do? I'm just curious. You don't usually show up in the company, but you came to look for Old Gao so late today …" Liu Xiang walked over and scratched the back of his head with his hand while grinning.
"You have to pay attention to Yushan's side recently …"
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang glanced at the northeastern man without showing his expression. "Old Liu, do you have something to tell me?"
"No, no, no … Don't guess blindly. I just feel that the circle has been a little unstable recently. Everyone has heard about what happened at the Wang family's ancestral home a while ago …" Liu Xiang quickly shook his head and said.
"Although Old Gao and Yushan have already retired from that place, they were still once part of it. Who knows if those people who attacked the Wang Family will look for them …."
"Your Brother Liu's ability is limited, and the others are about the same. Usually, it's okay to do the company's orders and help look after Yushan, but if we really meet a difficult person … It's not good to just have us."
"Xiao Jiang, you're different. You're an employee of the company, but at the same time, you're also a disciple of Shōichi Tenshi Province. Moreover, you're the only disciple of Master Tian, the only precious disciple of this generation's Celestial Master … That's a Celestial Master! A peerless expert! "
"… You know quite a lot." Liu Xiaojiang looked at Gao Lian in surprise. He didn't expect Gao Lian to tell this man in front of him about him pretending to sever ties with Mount Longhu.
In this case, the relationship between Gao Lian and Liu Xiang was deeper than he had expected …
"Hey, no matter what, I'm still an excellent employee who has the most potential to become a District Manager. Moreover, I've been friends with Old Gao for more than ten years …" Liu Xiang said proudly.
"This District Manager position … Your Brother Liu's salary will definitely increase!"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Liu Xiang speechlessly. Then, he reached out his hand to the elevator button.
"Brother Liu, if we hear anything from above, it might be an argument between me and Old Gao. You … Don't let anyone come up. There are some things that a person like you who has a family and a precious daughter to raise can't participate in."
"I know that you and Old Gao are friends, but the Gao family is indeed troublesome … Think about what happened to the Wang family a while ago, and combine it with Er Zhuang's physical condition. Do you know why Er Zhuang became like this?"
"Wasn't it an accident back then?" When Liu Xiang heard Liu Xiaojiang call him 'Brother Liu', he was about to explode, but when he heard the latter part of the sentence, he couldn't help but suppress his displeasure at Liu Xiaojiang's alienation.
"Oh … Accident. An accident involving ordinary people can actually involve Mutants. This accident is obviously more fatal to ordinary people. But in the end … None of the ordinary people died, and it didn't take long for them to be able to jump around, but Er Zhuang became like this …"
Liu Xiaojiang recalled Gao Lian's description of the accident that caused Er Zhuang to become like this. His eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of coldness.
"In this world, there is something called Qi. There is also a cultivation method that can achieve the Yang Spirit, and can do things that ordinary people can't as a spirit …"
As he spoke, he looked at the elevator door that was slowly opening. Then, he stepped into the elevator and looked at Liu Xiang, who was standing outside with a dumbfounded expression.
"Brother Liu, the Gao family's matter is very dangerous. If you are willing to think about your precious daughter, then think about the Wang family's ancestral home and the final outcome of your teacher Chai. After all, these … can't be said to have nothing to do with Er Zhuang's matter."
After saying that, he directly reached out to the elevator's floor button, causing the elevator door to slowly close between him and Liu Xiang.
But from the beginning to the end..,
Liu Xiaojiang was staring at Liu Xiang, who had a complicated expression on his face outside the door.
The next moment..,
Just before the elevator door closed..,
Liu Xiaojiang seemed to have made an important decision, causing the man to grit his teeth and look up at Liu Xiaojiang. He hurriedly said,
"Xiao Jiang, if you're here for that woman from before, don't act rashly. Old Gao, he … probably didn't have a choice!"
"I got it …"
As soon as Liu Xiaojiang finished speaking, the elevator door closed tightly, and the floor numbers outside the elevator began to change …
Ka!
Liu Xiang stood outside the elevator door and looked at the tightly closed elevator door. His eyes flickered, and finally, he knocked on the wall with his hand, causing cracks to appear on the solid and smooth marble wall.
"Sigh, Old Gao, Old Gao, why can't you wait? The current situation isn't that urgent …"
"Yushan is using the company's resources, and you still dare to betray her …"
..
A moment later..,
Everywhere was connected to the northeast region,
In the office of the company's person-in-charge,
Creak …
Liu Xiaojiang didn't even knock on the door when he arrived. He directly opened the door and walked into the office.
He looked at Gao Lian, who was sitting at the desk, and didn't seem to be surprised by his arrival. He couldn't help but slowly frown and say,
"Old Gao, you actually chose to ask a tiger for its skin. What are you thinking …"
There was no anger, no questioning..
Liu Xiaojiang walked to the sofa calmly and sat down. The tone he used when he looked at Gao Lian meant that he had already confirmed all the facts. There was no chance for anyone to refute him.
"Asking a tiger for its skin …" Gao Lian was still wearing his cap in the room. Hearing this, he couldn't help but reach out and press the brim of his cap,
"How can you be sure that I'm just asking a tiger for its skin and not really want to bet everything on that tigress …"
"Hmph …" Liu Xiaojiang put his hands behind his head and put his feet on the coffee table in front of him. Then, he leaned on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling, saying,
"It's not like you don't know about Chen Duo's matter. After all, she was once a temporary worker in the company, and she was the kind of voodoo saint who was invincible on the path of voodoo …"
"Even if you don't really understand the use of voodoo, if you don't want me to notice this matter, you can't just rush to the base with Qu Tong to make a move on Er Zhuang's memory at this juncture …"
"After all, almost all of the people at the base are your people, and they've been there for a long time. No one would find it strange to get close to Er Zhuang, and most of them can also do this for you …"
"You clearly don't go there often, but you just happened to go to the scene when something was wrong. As long as Chen Duo is really capable, you … it's hard not to arouse my suspicion, right?"
"When did you start suspecting me?" Gao Lian asked indifferently.
"After returning from Bi You Village …" Liu Xiaojiang said.
"So, it's because of Ma Xianhong that you understand that there's something wrong in my mind?" Gao Lian nodded.
"… Yes," Liu Xiaojiang said.
"What are you going to do?" Gao Lian slowly raised the corner of his mouth, "Kill me?"
"But because of Er Zhuang, you can't kill me, right?"
"What do you want me to do?" Liu Xiaojiang leaned on the sofa and turned to look at Gao Lian. There was a rare trace of hesitation between his eyebrows.
"If you have the confidence to cure Er Zhuang … then kill me!" Gao Lian put away the smile on his face and glared at Liu Xiaojiang fiercely.
"Since you appeared, I've been looking for an opportunity to remove the means that woman left in my mind. But as long as I can think of a way, it's impossible to remove her influence on me. What's more, even the things that happened in Bi You Village couldn't be seen from the bench …"
"Killing me may be the only way … to stop me from doing something to Er Zhuang in the future!"
"Ha … That's easy for you to say," Liu Xiaojiang stared at Gao Lian for a long time, then said with a 'don't try to trick me' expression,
"If you weren't Er Zhuang's father and the person in charge of the company … I would be very willing to help you."
"Then do it secretly! Don't let anyone find out that my death is related to you! "Gao Lian said firmly.
"…" Seeing this, Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and got up from the sofa. He slowly walked to Gao Lian at the desk and said,
"What's wrong with Er Zhuang? What did she do to Er Zhuang before?"
"She should be here to threaten me. According to her … she only took a look at Er Zhuang's condition and then deleted her memory of coming here," Gao Lian gritted his teeth and said.
"… Just to threaten you?" Liu Xiaojiang smiled. His smile was especially bright, but there was no smile in his eyes. He looked extremely strange.
"Unfortunately, there are more important things to do at the moment. Moreover, I will be leaving temporarily tomorrow. Old Gao … Do you believe me?"
Hearing this,
Gao Lian looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who had stretched out his hand in front of him. Especially after discovering the black gas entwined in his palm, he said,
"Er Zhuang believes you …"
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then it seems that you really are a good father …" Liu Xiaojiang immediately understood. He directly pressed his hand on Gao Lian's head and urged the black gas to continuously invade his brain.
"Good night, Old Gao …"
