"What's the matter?"
"President, someone at the front desk is looking for you. He said he's an old friend of yours. His name is Yinggou, and he said … he hopes that you can hold a grand welcome ceremony for him."
"…"
"President?"
"Appearance …"
"… It's a young man with long black hair. Because he's wearing sunglasses, I can't see his face clearly. But judging from his voice, he shouldn't be too old. He also painted his hands with black nail polish."
"…"
"President?"
"… Ask him to wait for a while. Tell him that he wants a grand welcome ceremony. I'll try my best to satisfy all his requests."
"Yes."
"Also, inform the person in charge of the human resources department to tell all the regular employees that they can get off work early today. Everyone has to leave the company within half an hour. If anyone drags on and doesn't leave within half an hour … then everyone's year-end bonus will be canceled."
"Ah???"
"Inform him immediately!"
"… Yes, I understand."
…
Glorious Star Society.
In the president's office.
Qu Tong hung up the call with the company's front desk. A rare trace of nervousness appeared in her red pupils. Then, she picked up the phone again and dialed a number. However, she did not try her best to satisfy all of Liu Xiaojiang's requests as she had said just now.
On the contrary …
Not only did she not arrange for all the mutants under her to come to support, but she immediately arranged for someone to take Chen Duo away through the company's secret channel. She also informed Ma Xianhong, who had been acting strangely recently, that Liu Xiaojiang was not dead and had arrived at the headquarters of the Glorious Star Society.
"Xianhong, do you think sister will be able to avert danger this time?"
"… Sister, with me here, at least I can guarantee that Liu Zhenren will not kill anyone here. But if he has other plans, I advise you to give up." Ma Xianhong's slightly incredulous voice came from the phone in Qu Tong's hand.
"After all, if Liu Zhenren didn't die outside like the rumors said, then he … might be a completely different person from before. You should know how much of a blow the company's recent decision will bring to a loyal person."
"Sister, your action of taking Chen Duo from the company … no, from him might have touched Liu Zhenren's bottom line. Even if he's willing to return Chen Duo in one piece, we should at least be prepared to face his wrath."
"As long as Chen Duo is returned …" Qu Tong shook her head in self-mockery, but her tone remained calm. "Won't he go overboard here?"
Ma Xianhong did not hear Qu Tong's negative view on this matter at all. "I promise …"
"Alright, get ready." After these timely questions and answers, Qu Tong successfully found out Ma Xianhong's true thoughts. She also understood that she had lost control of this brother of hers. She then opened her mouth to interrupt Ma Xianhong's so-called promise and made arrangements.
"If things go well, I will take him to the cultivation furnace. In order to prevent him from losing his mind, you should be prepared in advance …"
Ma Xianhong was a little dissatisfied. "Sister, if you do this …"
"Xianhong, in your heart, is sister more important, or is Liu Zhenren more important …" Qu Tong immediately took out the words she had prepared long ago.
"Just because you met him once, and because he is a reasonable inheritor of the Eight Mystic Skills, you can just sit back and watch someone who has been taking care of you get killed?"
Ma Xianhong began to struggle again. "Sister, I'm not …"
"Then listen to me! Get ready! "Qu Tong said in a serious tone.
"If you don't want me to die, then join forces with me to deal with him. Of course … if he hasn't lost his mind, I won't make things difficult for your friend."
As soon as she said this,
Ma Xianhong suddenly fell into silence. After a long time, he said hesitantly, "I understand …"
..
Half an hour later..,
The elevator on the first floor of the Glorious Star Society rang.
Qu Tong had already taken off her lady's suit and changed into sportswear suitable for fighting. She personally went to the waiting room at the front desk of the company and saw Liu Xiaojiang, who was drinking tea and waiting alone.
"Liu Zhenren, long time no see …"
Hearing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the woman he wanted to kill. "Miss Qu Tong, you should know why I'm here, right?"
"Chen Duo is no longer here …" Qu Tong pretended to be calm and said.
"I know …" Liu Xiaojiang was naturally very clear about Qu Tong's little tricks. He had already sensed that Chen Duo had been taken away from the Glorious Star Society.
"That girl clearly didn't lose consciousness, but she seemed to be very cooperative with your little tricks. Obviously, she was controlled by your ability. Instead of letting her stay here and possibly become your shield, it's better to let her leave this place for the time being …"
"After all, as long as I can kill you, there's a high chance that the control method left on her will be removed … Isn't that so?"
"Hmph …" Qu Tong slowly raised the corners of her mouth. "Since Liu Zhenren has already made up his mind, then go ahead and get rid of me. Let's see if this method is effective …"
Seeing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but frown subconsciously. "Do you think I don't dare?"
"Of course not …" Qu Tong smiled calmly and shook her head. "I just feel that although Liu Zhenren is strong, he might not be as knowledgeable as the company's upper echelons."
"What do you mean?" Liu Xiaojiang followed Qu Tong's train of thought and asked in confusion.
"Do you know what my ability is?" Qu Tong said calmly.
"Both hands …" Liu Xiaojiang said.
"Then do you know what 'both hands' refers to?" Qu Tong asked again.
"Both life and death …" Liu Xiaojiang said the guess in his heart. "Through the way of cultivation, I can only think of this' both hands' that may correspond to a person's' nature 'and' life '."
"That's right …" Qu Tong nodded. "As expected of Little Liu Zhenren. Even though you didn't understand it, you still managed to guess the essence of dual-wielding. Now … do you understand?"
"The two words' both hands' correspond to a person's' nature 'and' life '. My blue hand … is mainly aimed at a person's' nature ', while my red hand is aimed at a person's' life '…"
"So what?" Liu Xiaojiang didn't care about it.
"After all, both hands are just a kind of ability that allows people to use Qi to perform a certain ability. I don't believe that it can still perform its original effect after you die …"
"Being able to wield both hands is an ability, but it's also not an ability …" Qu Tong looked at Liu Xiaojiang fearlessly.
"It is indeed an ability for me, but for people who are affected by it, it … is actually more like a transformation of the soul and body."
"Liu Zhenren, you can see the effect of both hands as the scalpel in the hands of a surgeon, and those who are affected by both hands can be seen as patients who have undergone surgery …"
"The doctor accidentally had an accident and died in this accident. Those patients who were saved by the doctor with the scalpel, will their diseases also recur with the death of the doctor?"
Hearing this kind of words.
Liu Xiaojiang seemed to finally understand what Qu Tong meant, and then he couldn't help but frown as he looked at this woman. "Even if you die, Chen Duo's situation won't change …"
"A person's soul … or spirit, can indeed self-repair." Qu Tong smiled and spread out her hands.
"However, this also depends on the person's original spiritual strength. For someone like Chen Duo, who has lived under the control of the Medicine Immortal Society since she was young and was just born from my consciousness like a child, once her spirit is lost … she will only become more fragile than ordinary people."
"A patient in her situation may be able to self-repair, but at least it won't happen in a short period of time. Perhaps she won't be able to successfully self-repair for the rest of her life … but who knows?"
Hearing this.
Liu Xiaojiang suddenly fell into silence, but after a short few seconds, he suddenly looked at Qu Tong with a smile and said,
"Miss Qu Tong, it seems that because of Chen Duo's existence, the welcoming ceremony I mentioned before will definitely not be satisfied by the Glory Star Society. Right now, other than Ma Xianhong, there seem to be only a dozen or so mutants … It's not grand."
"Since I know that Liu Zhenren wants to wipe out the Glory Star Society this time …" Qu Tong did not deny this.
"Since I still have chips in my hands that can be used, why should I give you the chance to vent your anger on others? If all the members of the Glory Star Society are killed by you in anger, how can I continue to do things in the future after losing a large number of available manpower?"
"Unfortunately, I don't care about these things …" Liu Xiaojiang smiled and shook his head.
"What?" Qu Tong didn't think that Liu Xiaojiang would ignore Chen Duo's comfort, so she couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Xiaojiang's words.
"It's nothing …" Liu Xiaojiang ignored Qu Tong's doubts and raised his eyes to look in the direction of Ma Xianhong.
"Miss Qu Tong, since the others have been prepared and have almost lost control of Ma Xianhong, then this time … let me take away Old Ma, who has lost his value."
"After all, up to today …"
"Although I don't know what you're going to do, considering how careful and cautious you are, the cultivation furnace you need … should be almost perfect. Ma Xianhong will only be abandoned by you in the future."
"Oh …" Qu Tong couldn't help but relax when she saw this. "It seems that Liu Zhenren is indeed true to my brother Ma Xianhong …"
After that …
Qu Tong turned around and faced the door of the waiting room. Without looking back, she said to Liu Xiaojiang,
"In that case, I shouldn't make things too difficult for my brother. Liu Zhenren will come with me now …"
However …
Before she could even finish her sentence, every hair on her body instantly stood up. She instinctively felt a huge threat behind her.
However, it was this instinctive strong sense of fear that caused her to stand still and not dare to rashly turn around. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that if she dared to act rashly, she would be devoured by the horror behind her in the next moment.
"Liu Zhenren, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid that Chen Duo and Er Zhuang will be …"
"That's why …" Liu Xiaojiang had already appeared behind Qu Tong at this moment. His tone was extremely calm and unusually cold as he spoke in Qu Tong's ear.
"I don't care about this anymore …"
