Inside the secret base.
In the equipment research room where Gao Yushan was.
"Sister Er Zhuang …" Chen Duo hugged her legs and sat on the ground. She leaned against Er Zhuang's treatment equipment and said,
"When will Brother Xiao Jiang come back?"
"Hehe …" Er Zhuang teased her in a relaxed tone through the loudspeaker equipment around the room.
"Duo Er, are you a little tired of waiting and want to run out and go shopping? This time, you can't blame me. Who asked you to listen to him and keep watching over me?"
"… Sister Er Zhuang is more important." Chen Duo shook her head and said stubbornly and seriously,
"Brother Xiao Jiang said that recently … especially after Brother left, there might be people who are unwilling to accept the current situation, so they want to use Sister Er Zhuang … to reverse the relatively unfavorable situation."
"Whoa …" Er Zhuang said with a smile, "I really didn't expect this …"
"I didn't expect our Little Duo 'er to start acting like an old man. You're just like that guy when you speak. But … can you really understand the meaning behind those words?"
"I … I …" Chen Duo began to stutter, but in the end, she still said with a determined face.
"Sister Er Zhuang, although I don't quite understand what Brother Xiao Jiang means, since he said so to me … I just need to be obedient."
"Shopping or something …"
"Yes, I do want to go out, but I might not be able to see Big Sister Er Zhuang again because of this … No, I definitely can't do that."
Hearing that..,
Er Zhuang saw the determination and persistence on Chen Duo's face through the monitoring equipment in the room. She couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of her mouth in the treatment cabin.
"Little Duo Er, Sister really didn't dote on you for nothing. To be able to hear you say these words personally …"
However..,
At this moment..,
The expression on Chen Duo's face suddenly changed. She immediately stood up in front of Er Zhuang's treatment equipment. "Sister Er Zhuang, there's movement from the voodoo outside. Someone should be coming … a stranger."
Hearing this..,
Er Zhuang immediately activated all the cameras in the base, and images appeared on the many screens in the room.
Then, Er Zhuang and Chen Duo observed for a long time. Finally, they found a group of strangers wearing black suits and masks on one of the screens. Then … the screen went black.
"Who the hell are these guys …"
"It's a bad guy …" Chen Duo saw this and unzipped her clothes, revealing the dark green protective suit underneath her normal clothes. Then, she carefully placed her clothes aside.
"Sister Er Zhuang, Big Brother Xiao Jiang guessed right. Bad guys are coming …"
Hearing this,
Er Zhuang noticed that Chen Duo wanted to go out and deal with the group of people outside. He couldn't help but stop her.
"Duo Er, don't be rash. There are too many of them, and they know the environment of the base very well. It's obvious that they came prepared. Moreover, they were able to quietly take care of the company's employees until they inevitably alerted your poison …"
"These guys are very clear about the strength of the base, and they also know who they are going to face next …"
"Sister Er Zhuang …" Chen Duo tied up her loose long hair and said firmly, "I won't let them take you away …"
"The artifacts they're wearing should be made by Village Chief Ma himself. I stayed in Green Touring Village for a period of time, so I know the weaknesses of these things very well …"
"Moreover, even if the voodoo doesn't have much effect, I still have the ability that Big Brother Xiao Jiang gave me. As long as the effects of the artifacts aren't too special …"
"Duo Er, you'd better leave quickly …" Er Zhuang interrupted calmly.
"Since they came prepared this time, it's impossible for them to leave us with too many chances. The magical artifacts that they're wearing … may also have a certain targeting effect."
"If … what you mentioned to me before is true, then the ability that you obtained from practicing the Liuku Immortal Thief is most likely part of the situation that the other party knew in advance."
Chen Duo shook her head, unmoved. "But …"
"No buts!" Er Zhuang said with a slightly panicked tone, "If they came here for me, to use me to threaten that guy in the future, then at the very least … we have to make sure that the bargaining chips in their hands are as low as possible."
"Little Duo Er, in that guy's heart, you and I are exactly the same …"
"I know …" Although Chen Duo wasn't used to it, she still smiled and said,
"Sister Er Zhuang, I know that Big Brother Xiao Jiang also values me a lot. Even everything he does outside, most of it is for me and Sister Er Zhuang …"
"I've always known …"
Er Zhuang saw the smile on Chen Duo's face through the monitoring device and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Since you've always known, why don't you hurry up and …"
"Uncle Liao is very good to me, so whether or not I was willing, I was willing to listen to all of his arrangements …" Chen Duo still maintained the awkward smile on her face.
"Big Brother Xiao Jiang and Sister Er Zhuang are not only very good to me, but also have never asked me for anything. If I don't do anything for you …"
Speaking until here, the little girl reached out and pointed at her heart. "This place … is very uncomfortable. If I just watch Sister Er Zhuang get taken away and I do nothing, I guess … this place will only be even more uncomfortable."
"So …"
"Sister Er Zhuang, actually, I lied to you before. Big Brother Xiao Jiang only asked me to pay attention to this period of time. He didn't ask me to always guard you here, nor did he ask me to protect your safety. He only said that no matter what happens … your own safety is the most important."
"If you can ensure your own safety, then you can consider the safety of others, even Sister Er Zhuang's …"
"In the arrangements left by Big Brother Xiao Jiang, my task is only to set up poison nearby, and if I discover that someone is plotting something, I'll immediately inform the person outside of the situation …"
Chen Duo took out the phone that was in the middle of a call and gestured to the camera in the room.
"However, Sister Er Zhuang and Big Brother Xiao Jiang are the most important people by my side. Now that someone wants to do something bad to you, I … can't forgive them! I will never let them go! "
After saying that..,
No matter how much Er Zhuang tried to stop her,
The little girl's face was full of determination and stubbornness as she walked towards the door. Before she left, she turned around to look at the treatment cabin in the room and said,
"Sister Er Zhuang, we shouldn't choose to escape. This is our home and Big Brother Xiao Jiang's home. I want to protect this place … just like how you protected me before."
Seeing this, Er Zhuang hurriedly said, "Duo Er! Duo Er! I don't need your … "
"Sister Er Zhuang, wait for me to come back …" Chen Duo's smile was not stiff this time.
After that, she opened the door of the equipment research room and pressed the emergency button nearby before leaving. An extremely thick metal wall was lowered, completely sealing off the only way into the room.
..
At the same time..,
In a hotel near the secret base..,
In front of a window in a room on the second floor..,
"Hmph …" Xia He held two mobile phones in her hands and hung up the ordinary phone that was talking to Chen Duo. She pressed the special phone with an antenna to her ear and said,
"Mr. Sect Leader, you should have heard it, right?"
As soon as she said this, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Then, a slightly cold voice came out.
"Ah, I heard it all. In that case, let's do as the little girl says. These guys who came to the base with ill intentions … Don't leave a single one alive."
"Isn't this … a little too much?" Xia He frowned slightly when she heard that.
"These people from the Glorious Star Society didn't directly attack. Those company employees who were taken care of obviously only lost consciousness temporarily. If we don't leave a single one alive … Won't there be no room for negotiation?"
"That woman didn't attack the company's employees because she was afraid that the company would use all its resources to investigate …" Liu Xiaojiang said.
"She didn't intend to kill Chen Duo and Er Zhuang because she was afraid that I would choose to take revenge at all costs. Then, the operation she arranged this time would be like adding fuel to the fire …"
"After all, her purpose was to kidnap Chen Duo and Er Zhuang so that she could have a bargaining chip with me in the future, lest I destroy the Glorious Star Society directly when I'm in a bad mood …"
"With such a huge gap in strength, if she wants to take the initiative in this relationship, she must have a bargaining chip that can restrain me … Because of Lui Village's actions and Lu Liang's awakening, it's obviously not enough."
"Since you've already guessed their intentions …" Xia He was puzzled. "Then why do you have to kill them all?"
"If you can't do it, then catch them all. I can let Old Gao do it himself …" Liu Xiaojiang said in a calm tone, as if he was not talking about killing at all.
"A group of Mutants who are just not bad. Even if they have the magic weapon made by Ma Xianhong, with your special ability … it's enough."
Xia He was obviously still unwilling to do so. "But …"
"This is a warning …" Liu Xiaojiang immediately interrupted, "You're right.
"But since it's a warning, it has to be deep. Otherwise, that woman will do it again. After all, this time … no one knows if she's testing us or not."
"Since Duo Er said that she won't let them go, then I'll make sure none of them return. Then, I'll let that woman know that … I won't rest until I kill Yu Er Zhuang and Er Zhuang."
"Won't it have the opposite effect?" Xia He asked.
"That depends on whether she dares to fight me to the death or not," Liu Xiaojiang replied.
"Anyway, her operation this time will only fail. Next, we just have to move Yu Er Zhuang and Er Zhuang away. Do you think she can still find out the location from Old Gao?"
"I remember reminding you before that if you choose to come to the base instead of switching places with Shen Chong, then this is very likely to happen. But you're still so hesitant …"
"Xia He, there's a limit to my patience …"
"Phew …" Hearing this, Xia He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, capture all of them. I'll listen to your arrangements, Mr. Sect Leader."
"Very good …"
— — —
Neon.
The ancestral home of the Anpei family in the capital.
Liu Xiaojiang had just hung up the call with Xia He when he used the satellite phone to dial a number again.
"Hello?"
When Liu Xiaojiang heard the voice on the phone, he suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and said, "Director Zhao, Old Gao and Er Zhuang.
"Chairman Zhao, someone has attacked Er Zhuang and the rest. Also, our previous guess was right. Old Gao, he … has a problem."
"Aren't you in Neon?" Zhao Fangxu was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly recovered and said, "Forget it, let's talk about business first …"
"Is Old Gao's problem serious? The real target of this incident with Yu Er Zhuang and Chen Duo should be you, right?"
"I've solved Old Gao's problem for the time being," Liu Xiaojiang did not answer Zhao Fangxu's question. Instead, he continued to talk to himself.
"Director Zhao, the people who attacked Yu Er Zhuang and Chen Duo were also 'fully armed'. From the looks of it, their weapons were made by Ma Xianhong. Now, we can be sure that … the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Ma Xianhong must be the source of the recent chaos."
"More than a dozen Mutants who are not bad. Behind Bi You Village … there must be some established organization responsible for providing support."
"Do you have a candidate in mind?" Zhao Fangxu asked.
"Although there's no direct evidence, I think …" Liu Xiaojiang was not in China at the moment, and what Xia He said was right, so he did not directly mention the Glorious Star Society and Qu Tong. Instead, he reminded him indirectly.
"Like the Glorious Star Society and the Jianghu Inn … These are Mutant organizations that are similar to intelligence agencies. They usually deal with the various Mutant organizations in the circle, and they even commission companies. Don't you think they are very suspicious?"
"Qu Tong and Mu You …" Zhao Fangxu thought carefully and said, "So, Mu You, who is both an intelligence agency and one of the Ten Great Leaders, is the most suspicious person in your heart?"
"I don't know …" Liu Xiaojiang frowned slightly.
"After all, I'm currently abroad and have a lot of things to deal with. I just received a call from Xia He and learned about the situation at Lianmen Harbor …"
"Director Zhao, the reason I called you, other than to remind you of the people you should pay attention to, is actually for another purpose …"
"Another purpose?" Zhao Fangxu was stunned again. Then, he asked doubtfully, "What purpose?"
"I just wanted to confirm with you personally …" Liu Xiaojiang was silent for a moment. Then, he slowly said in a low voice.
"If … if something happened to Erzhuang and Chen Duo while I was away, Director Zhao … you should understand what I mean, right?"
"… I promise you, I was just too busy this time and forgot about Erzhuang and Chen Duo, so this kind of thing won't happen again." Zhao Fangxu understood why Liu Xiaojiang was acting so strangely.
"You're working hard outside for the company and the higher-ups, but this kind of thing happened at home … This is indeed our dereliction of duty."
"Thank you for your understanding …" Liu Xiaojiang was unmoved and said politely.
"Haha, you're welcome. This is what I should do … what I should do," Zhao Fangxu said politely.
