Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 897 Na Du Tong's Attitude Towards the Immortals
"I wouldn't say I'm wary."

He Songling was mainly afraid of killing the wrong person. What if this guy was actually Duanmu Ying in disguise?

He transmigrated early and didn't read much of the later plot, but based on what was shown in the Nathan Island chapter, Qu Tong did have some similarities to Duanmu Ying.

However, judging from Zhou Sheng and Ruan Feng's reactions, she doesn't seem to be Duanmu Ying.

But it didn't matter anyway, because besides being too lazy to do the calculations and directly asking Zhou Sheng for the truth, there were other reasons as well.

“There’s a temporary worker at Na Du Tong who killed his boss and defected. He’s now settled in Biyou Village and has been taken in by Ma Xianhong. The company will definitely send people there. These temporary workers under the regional managers are all very useful, and they all have some shady dealings, so these managers will definitely argue their case.”

He Songling shrugged: "The final result is obvious. Let heroes investigate heroes, let good men investigate good men, and let temporary workers deal with temporary workers. When we get to Biyou Village, we'll take Zhang Chulan, Xiao Zizai, and the remaining temporary workers all together. Isn't that convenient?"

"Temporary workers are probably not safe; someone is targeting them."

Inside the North China headquarters of Na Du Tong in Tianjin, Xu San and Xu Si were speaking to Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao with serious expressions.

"So that means..." Zhang Chulan frowned. Feng Baobao was someone his grandfather entrusted to him. Although it was actually his grandfather who entrusted him to Feng Baobao, it was clear that Feng Baobao relied on Zhang Chulan for everything except martial arts.

Furthermore, the late Mr. Xu Xiang treated him well, and more importantly, he himself fell in love with this innocent girl during their time together. Zhang Chulan genuinely considered Feng Baobao as family and a friend—because for a long time he had no friends, and now he had no family either.

He didn't want to see anything happen to Feng Baobao.

"It's not the worst yet." Xu San understood what Zhang Chulan was thinking, and he was relieved about that. Originally, it was just the three of them, father and sons, protecting Feng Baobao, but now there was Zhang Chulan as well. And it seemed that Zhang Chulan was the most reliable and the most likely to lead Feng Baobao to find the truth.

Did he already find most of the truth about Feng Baobao before the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?

“The heads of each region have their own temporary workers that they are comfortable with. It’s not just my dad and my brother who treat the baby like family; the heads of other regions also take their temporary workers very seriously.”

"so?"

"So, the heads of our several regions have discussed it and decided to keep the temporary worker positions." Xu Si stubbed out his cigarette, and the remaining smoke rose from the ashtray, obscuring his face and making his expression unreadable.

“The regional head, while not a high-level executive, is still a leader and a pillar of the workforce. If we all quit, the company will fall into chaos, so our collective opposition has forced even the company's board of directors to take it seriously.”

Xu Si stood up and said, "I'm going to the capital for a meeting tomorrow. According to the internal briefing, there shouldn't be any major problems. However, there will definitely be a price to pay, but I don't know what it will be."

“Then…” Zhang Chulan wanted to say something, to do something, but found that he couldn’t do anything right now. “Don’t be discouraged, Chulan, the information you brought back is very useful.” Xu San laughed when he saw him like this: “The appearance of someone who is suspected to be He Songling is the biggest thing in the company right now. Compared with that, even Lao Liao’s death seems so insignificant.”

“These are turbulent times.” Xu Si lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke. “The appearance of a person who was suspected of achieving true immortality more than seventy years ago could completely shake up the entire world of supernatural beings.”

When he was active last time, he practically overturned the entire cultivation theory of the supernatural world. The combination of Chinese and Western methods, the five levels of reverse rebirth, and the supernatural university—all were his creations. Who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause this time?

"Isn't this all a good thing?" Feng Baobao interjected from the side.

“Baby, you don’t understand. It’s a good thing, but what kind of era was that back then? Now, what the higher-ups want is stability, not a god who can do everything and still can’t be controlled.”

"Good is good, and bad is bad. If someone can provide food and spiritual practice, they are a good person." Feng Baobao's view of things is very simple and pure.

"If everyone could think like you, that would be great!" Xu Si was not a kind-hearted person. A kind-hearted person could not be in this position. His heart was dirtier than anyone else's, but he also sincerely hoped that everyone in the world would be clean.

"This matter is bigger than the exposure of Bao Bao's secret. Whether the ascension to immortality is true or not is still uncertain, but if it really is He Songling, then immortality is inevitable, and he is even older than Bao Bao."

“But that’s where the headache lies, isn’t it?” Zhang Chulan keenly noticed the key point. “The temporary workers are all hired by the company to do what can be called dirty work. They have mysterious origins and secrets, but they are all very strong.”

Normally, it wouldn't be a problem; the company uses the secrets held by these temporary workers as a deterrent, and as long as they don't cause trouble, they're used. But now, at this crucial moment, a rebellion by the temporary workers has occurred, and yet another extraordinary figure has emerged.

"I'm afraid the company can't afford the consequences of instability. Fourth Brother, you just said that what the higher-ups want is stability. I'm afraid that besides long-term peace and stability at the macro level, they also need to ensure the absolute loyalty of their high-end combat force in this incident involving 'gods,' right?"

“That’s right.” Xu Si nodded. “So, the problem lies in this very matter…”

"What?" Although Xu San was the older brother, he was still a subordinate, and this was the first time he had heard Xu Si talk about such things between management.

"Idiot, to ensure stability, the higher-ups will probably have the temporary workers test the waters with the person who is suspected to be He Songling. Or, if things turn sour, the temporary workers will become the first wave of cannon fodder facing the gods."

Xu Si cursed his older brother angrily, "In this way, we can not only eliminate the potential threat of temporary workers rebelling, but also use our considerable influence within the company to test the true strength of the immortals and flex our muscles."

Most importantly, if all the temporary workers die in battle, what can we do even if we protest? Whom can we protest for? We can only watch helplessly as they eliminate the temporary workers' positions. If all the temporary workers die, the company still has the country and the army as its backers, but we'll have no bargaining chips left to negotiate with the company.
