Glorious Star Society headquarters.
In the lounge.
"Hmph..."
Qu Tong hung up the secret call with Su Cheng and sat on the luxurious and soft bed. She couldn't help but smile.
After all, the news of Liu Xiaojiang's death could be said to be the only good news she had received in a long time. She could finally no longer be restrained by the other party.
At this moment.
Knock knock knock...
Qu Tong looked at the door that was knocked on and guessed who would come so late. She said, "Come in."
Creak...
"Sister, the cultivation furnace has been completed." Ma Xianhong pushed the door open and walked in with an excited expression. "Thanks to everyone's help, this should be my most perfect work at this stage."
"You did well. As expected of you, Xianhong..." Qu Tong smiled and nodded. Then, she took the initiative to get down from the bed, picked up two wine glasses from the table, poured red wine into them, and personally handed a glass to Ma Xianhong.
"Thank you..." Ma Xianhong was surprised to see Qu Tong acting so strangely, but he didn't think much about it and reached out to take the wine glass. Then, he drank a few mouthfuls of red wine in the glass and looked at Qu Tong with a little doubt.
"Sister, you seem to be in a good mood today. Could it be that something good happened?"
"Hmph..." Qu Tong finished the red wine in the glass and put the wine glass back on the table. She stood by the side and looked at Ma Xianhong with a smile.
"The cultivation furnace is finally completed, which means that your memory is about to be recovered. This... Isn't this a good thing to celebrate?"
"So that's how it is?" Even though Ma Xianhong was still suspicious, he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be happy and scratched his head.
"Then... Sister, what else do you need to prepare for me to recover my memory?"
"No hurry..." Qu Tong smiled and shook her head. "There are a lot of things that need to be prepared. Anyway, you have waited for so many years. A few days won't make a difference."
"Moreover, in this matter, Feng Bao Bao is the key. As long as you can catch her, the rest... will be easy to get."
"Next …"
"In order to get that Feng Bao Bao, let's invite Chen Duo over first. I believe those people in Huabei won't let anyone touch that guy's' last wish '."
"Chen Duo …" Ma Xianhong frowned. "Sis, if you do that, Liu Zhenren will definitely …"
"That's why I said Chen Duo was his last wish …" Qu Tong said with a smile.
"Last wishes? Don't tell me … "Ma Xianhong was stunned.

The next day.
Everywhere was connected to the company headquarters.
In the chairman's office.
"What did you say?!" Zhao Fangxu's roar could be heard outside the room.
After a long time.
Perhaps he had heard about Zhao Fangxu's abnormality from the other employees.
Shen Chong, who had been paying attention to Zhao Fangxu, immediately ran to the door of the office and politely knocked on the door, saying,
"Chairman Zhao, are you … okay?"
"Little Shen, come in …"
Shen Chong heard the sound and opened the door to enter the room. However, he found Zhao Fangxu sitting at the desk with his hands on his forehead. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, so he could not help but ask curiously,
"Chairman Zhao, what's wrong with you? What exactly can make you so distressed? You look like this now … It doesn't look like the past you at all."
Hearing this,
Zhao Fangxu raised his head and glanced at Shen Chong. Then, he shook his head angrily and helplessly.
"Xiao Jiang, he … is dead."

A few hours later.
In a hotel near the underground base of Lianmen Harbor.
"… That's more or less what happened. Although it's surprising and hard to believe, Sect Leader … did indeed die outside."
"What do you think we should do from now on … Xia He, Xia He, Xia He?"
Xia He listened to Shen Chong's account on the phone and was stunned for about two to three minutes before she picked up the phone that had just fallen from the ground.
"What did Chairman Zhao say to you …"
"Chairman Zhao said that because of the Sect Leader's death, the company's plan for Quan Xing has basically failed. The higher-ups can't trust Quan Xing people, so only the two of us can continue to stay by his side to help. It's just that … it's very likely that we'll never see the light of day."
Shen Chong guessed what Xia He was doing just now, so he didn't mention Liu Xiaojiang's death too much. Instead, he tried his best to focus on the future of the two of them.
"The Sect Leader is definitely gone. After all, the higher-ups personally called to inform him. Moreover, it was said that Number One was afraid that Chairman Zhao wouldn't be able to accept it, so he took the time to call personally …"
"I think he definitely doesn't want us to take the same path. That's why even though he's dead and didn't pave the way for us, I don't want to give up halfway because of this turning point that happened because of him."
"Then … that's it." Xia He's eyes were filled with fatigue as she hung up the phone. Then, she leaned back on the hotel bed.
"Liar …"

At the same time …
Almost everyone who had a good relationship with Liu Xiaojiang had been personally informed and comforted by Zhao Fangxu. Recently, the people of Huabei, who had been busy investigating the events of that year, had also received the shocking news of Liu Xiaojiang's death.
However, perhaps out of worry and other considerations, only the people of the Northeast Region still didn't know that Liu Xiaojiang had died in a foreign country …

Three days later …
Mount Longhu …
The back mountains of Tenshi Province …
Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei walked alone to visit his junior brother, Tian Jinzhong. Although his old face still maintained a calm expression, his narrow eyes were already filled with fatigue.
Because of the news of Liu Xiaojiang's death and Tian Jinzhong's behavior after hearing the news, this old man had obviously not had a good rest recently.
A moment later …
Zhang Zhiwei came to the courtyard where Tian Jinzhong was. He saw his junior brother sitting in a wheelchair in the courtyard, looking up at the hundred-year-old tree in the courtyard with a dull expression. He hurried forward to send his junior brother back to the house.
However …
Just as Zhang Zhiwei arrived behind Tian Jinzhong and reached out to grab the handle behind the wheelchair, the old man who was still in a daze suddenly spoke.
"Senior Brother, don't you think I shouldn't be alive? Because of what I know, even my only disciple … died outside."
"If it wasn't for me, if I didn't tell him, if it wasn't for those things, Xiao Jiang … wouldn't have gone to a foreign country alone and ended up with the bad karma of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person."
"Senior Brother, let me go. Let me go with Master, Huaiyi, and Xiao Jiang … together!"
As he spoke, the old man couldn't help but grit his teeth and lower his head as he was pushed into the house by Zhang Zhiwei. Tears fell on his clothes …
Seeing this …
Zhang Zhiwei looked at the surrounding children who were responsible for watching over Tian Jinzhong and preventing the old man from committing suicide. In the end, he shook his head silently and sighed.
"Sigh …"
