The next evening,
Everywhere connected to the Northeast Region branch,
In the office of the person in charge,
"He was in a deep coma for twelve hours …" Liu Xiang stood in the room and looked at Gao Lian sitting at the desk. He couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Old Gao, are you really okay? He actually did everything yesterday …"
"Of course I'm fine …" Gao Lian was busy with the matters at hand. He took the time to look at Liu Xiang in the room and smiled. "He's a temporary worker in the Northeast Region of the company. I'm the person in charge of the Northeast Region of the company. Strictly speaking, I'm also his direct superior … What do you think can happen?"
"But he's first and foremost a member of the company." Liu Xiang looked at Gao Lian, who was as usual, and felt that this matter would not be so simple.
"I don't know what he's been doing recently, so much so that he rarely shows up in our region. But thinking about what I've heard in the circle recently, especially after the Bi You Village incident … It's as if he's disappeared."
"However, the colleagues at the headquarters seem to see him coming in and out often …"
"Old Gao, don't you think that Xiao Jiang is no longer your and Yushan's' private soldier '?"
"… What are you thinking about?" Gao Lian put down the document he was about to sign and looked at Liu Xiang with a surprised expression.
"Old Liu, what's wrong with you recently? I don't usually see you being so concerned about the company. You only care about your precious daughter at home. Why did you suddenly start to pay attention to Xiao Jiang?"
"Uh …" Liu Xiang was stunned by the question. He couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh, Old Gao, Old Gao, do you have to make me say it clearly? I'm worried about you and Yushan!"
"Yes, I also don't know what you've been doing recently, but just think about the recent situation at the company, and that strange woman who has a different face every time you meet … Do you still know who you are, old man?"
"… Oh." The surprise in Gao Lian's eyes was even more intense. "Old Liu, I didn't expect …"
"However, since that woman has a completely different face every time I meet her, even if you occasionally find that she has been here, how can you be sure that it's the same person?"
"Tsk!" Liu Xiang put down his arm and frowned. "Old Gao, we've known each other for more than ten years. Even if I don't understand the others … Don't you think I don't understand you?"
"Indeed, I couldn't see through that woman's disguise and I didn't think that they were the same person every time. But as long as you met that strange woman, you would always behave strangely for a certain period of time …"
"That kind of strange and bewildered look, after all these years, I was only fortunate enough to see it … after you met that woman!"
"…" Gao Lian fell silent. After a long time, he slowly said, "So that's how it is. Through my abnormal behavior, he actually found the only similarity between those women …"
"Ah, once or twice is fine, but if it happens too many times …" Liu Xiang didn't deny it.
"As the person in charge of the Northeast Region of a company, when did you become so bewildered when meeting some strange women?"
"Unless you suddenly contracted a serious illness when I wasn't aware of it …"
"…" Gao Lian was speechless.
"Sigh, I didn't expect you to be the only one among us who doesn't seem to be in the right mind …"
"Tsk! Shut up! If you continue, I'll be anxious! "Liu Xiang interrupted without thinking when he heard this.
"Let's get down to business. Are you alright? What did Xiao Jiang do here yesterday? Why did you suddenly fall into a deep coma without any warning?"
"… Old Liu." Gao Lian looked at his old friend who was worried about him and said, "I know that we have a deep friendship. Even the reason why you joined the company was because I tried my best to rope you in."
"But it's precisely because of this that I don't want to implicate you, old friend, so the matter between me and Yushan, and the situation that I encountered yesterday … Don't ask anymore."
"You …" Liu Xiang was obviously hurt when he heard this, but he still pretended to be fine and shook his head with a smile. "Sigh, alright, as long as you know it in your heart. It seems that Xiao Jiang wasn't sent by the directors to hold you accountable …"
After saying that, Old Liu came and left suddenly. It was just that when he walked toward the door, his back view was indeed a little helpless.
"Thank you, old friend …"
Hearing this,
Liu Xiang stood in front of the door and reached out to hold the door handle. Without looking back, he smiled bitterly and said, "Heh, are you thanking me for being willing to cover up for you, or thanking me for not continuing to ask …"
"Both …" Gao Lian looked at the northeastern man standing in front of the door. Although his eyes were also very complicated, he didn't have the intention to get up and send him off. Then, he just said faintly,
"If things go well, then after everything is completely over, I will find time to talk about the past like us old friends did in the past few years. Roadside, barbecue skewers, beer … I will talk about these things in detail."
Liu Xiang subconsciously tightened his grip on the door handle. "Is that so? If things go well …"
"If things don't go well …" Gao Lian naturally knew what this old friend was thinking, so he took a deep breath and continued to slowly add,
"Old Liu, the other old friends who have been doing their best to protect us in recent years, I'm afraid you can only support them …"
"How to support them? Do you want me to take over the position of the person in charge? "Liu Xiang opened the door, stood in front of the door, and looked back at Gao Lian. He shook his head and said with a smile,
"Don't. If they know that I stole your position, they will roll up their sleeves and clamor to vent their anger on me after you leave without looking back. I don't want to miss the opportunity to watch my daughter grow up …"
Hearing this,
Based on Gao Lian's understanding of Liu Xiang, this old friend, he didn't continue to force the other party to agree. Instead, he suddenly changed the topic and smiled,
"What do you mean grow up …"
"Old Liu, I remember that your baby is already seventeen. She's already an adult. Don't tell me you want to watch her get married and personally hand her hand to another man …"
However,
Before Gao Lian could finish his words,
Liu Xiang rolled up his sleeves and walked back. The expression on his face was like that of a big brother who had been in the underworld. The moment he opened his mouth, he was fierce and had a hint of threat.
"Get lost! Shut up! If you dare to mention this matter again! Do you believe that I will f * cking hammer you to death?! "
"…" Gao Lian.

At the same time,
Neon,
Dongshan District of the Capital,
On the street of the temple fair near the Qingshui Temple,
It was the best time to view the red maple. The red maple that covered the mountains and plains, under the light, made the small place in Liu Xiaojiang's heart show a unique and attractive scenery.
Not long ago, he had just gotten off the plane,
Liu Xiaojiang didn't want to stay abroad for too long. Naturally, he relied on the help of the translation device on his phone and quickly arrived at the agreed location of the operation by car.
However, because it was still early, he didn't take the initiative to contact the person who would pick him up. Instead, he sat at a position where he could see the agreed location. He looked at the surrounding environment while waiting for the arrival of the person who would pick him up.
However, it was precisely because he didn't want to attract too much attention that the agreed location of the operation was inside the temple fair street,
At this moment, even if he wanted to avoid the surrounding crowd, he couldn't find any other place where he could see the agreed location. He could only try to blend in with the crowd who came to participate in the temple fair and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the red maple.
During this period, perhaps because they saw a handsome guy, or perhaps because they felt that Liu Xiaojiang was too out of place, many young women tried to strike up a conversation with him, but in the end, they were all driven away by the silent and completely unromantic Liu Xiaojiang.
A moment later,
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the lively crowd and seemed to be a little dazed. Then, his eyes gradually focused and returned to normal.
"This Old Liu is really just worried about the father and daughter. What an interesting old man …"
At this time, it was just a thought,
Liu Xiaojiang clearly understood everything that had happened to Gao Lian, and even knew a little about the real thoughts in Gao Lian's mind.
And the reason why he could do this to this extent, which played a key role in it … was also because of Yinggou's powerful corpse poison!
Now, if Gao Lian wasn't Er Zhuang's father …
He could even directly use this corpse poison to completely control Gao Lian's every move, making him completely a tool in his hands.
But if he did that, Gao Lian would no longer be Gao Lian, and he could no longer be called a 'person' …
Therefore, considering Er Zhuang's factor and confirming Gao Lian's' heart ', Liu Xiaojiang still didn't choose the safest way. He didn't make this matter completely irreversible, but left a little leeway for Gao Lian, Er Zhuang, and himself.
Since he couldn't help Gao Lian get rid of Qu Tong's control, and he didn't intend to let Er Zhuang suffer because of this in the future … then he would take note of Gao Lian's every move in the future!
He would try his best to be foresighted!
At this moment,
"Excuse me …"
A young woman wearing a red maple-leaf kimono and black wooden clogs walked to Liu Xiaojiang's side with a smile. As soon as she came up, she sat down very familiarly, and then took the initiative to hug Liu Xiaojiang's arm intimately.
"This young man with an extraordinary temperament should be the rumored Liu Zhenren, right?"
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the woman in the kimono beside him and subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out of her chest, but he realized that the other party didn't seem to want to let him take his hand away.
"You …"
"I'm Boss Su's person, and the person you're waiting for, Diwu Yue … You can call me Wuyue if you're familiar with me." The woman smiled and raised her head to kiss Liu Xiaojiang's face. Her every move made others feel that she and Liu Xiaojiang were a young couple who had come to admire the red maples.
"Boss Su …" Liu Xiaojiang didn't feel that the woman was dangerous. Even though he had been ambushed by the other party, he didn't feel that he had been taken advantage of. He just repeated with a calm expression.
"Wuyue?"
"Yes, my dear, looks like you've understood. Next … Do you want to go to that suspended stage to admire the beautiful red maples?" Wuyue nodded with a gentle expression. Her gaze was as if she was looking at the man she loved deeply.
"…" Liu Xiaojiang lowered his head and looked at Wuyue in his arms. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he had to admit that this woman's acting skills were like that of a monster.
Then, he considered that the other party wouldn't do anything meaningless with him, so he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, lead the way …"
"Hehe …" Wuyue smiled, and a trace of admiration flashed in her black eyes. Then, she pulled Liu Xiaojiang up from the bench and said:
"Liu Zhenren, in order to deceive others, you'd better act closer to me. Don't always look like you're a thousand miles away from me. Let's not talk about other things … Am I very poor?"
Hearing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang glanced at Wuyue's face and the 'hardware' hidden under her kimono. He said truthfully, "Yes, it's not bad …"
However..,
Wuyue noticed Liu Xiaojiang's completely undisguised gaze, and a hint of shyness inadvertently appeared on her pretty face, so she coughed twice and said:
"Ahem, it's good that you know. Don't make it seem like I'm the one taking advantage of you …"
"Why are we pretending to be a couple?" Liu Xiaojiang let Wuyue pull him into the depths of the temple fair. Although he didn't show any resistance, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Since you're the person in charge of receiving, then tell me the location of the enemy and other details that you can investigate, and then … leave them all to me."
"You're new here, so it's normal that you don't know the situation …" Wuyue was like a qualified girlfriend, constantly leading Liu Xiaojiang around the temple fair like a normal couple. At the same time, she explained softly but very clearly.
"In Japan, apart from a few pure samurai, most of the samurai are ordinary people. The samurai who can really be considered to be at the level of a Mutant are also arranged to be under the Hiei Mountain Ninja. After so many years, they are already a member of the Hiei Mountain Ninja."
"Therefore, the current Japanese mutants, even those who awakened by chance, have the title of Onmyoji or Hiei Mountain Ninja …"
"Isn't there an organization here that's responsible for managing the mutant circle like the company? If there are only these two forces … If they choose to join forces, I'm afraid that only one of them will be able to dominate, right?" Liu Xiaojiang frowned.
"That's impossible …" Wuyue came to the mountain gate of Shimizu Temple and stopped in the middle of the crowd.
She turned around and said, "Because the Onmyoji and the Hiei Mountain Ninja have long been inseparable, but to say that one of them is the strongest … is tantamount to a fool's dream."
"After all, due to that inspiring failure back then, they have long been completely reduced to tools that can't think. Otherwise … the only outcome waiting for them is death."
