Chapter 827 Plucking Feathers from a Passing Goose, Leaving Skins for a Running Beast
"You brat, you want to be Xu Fu? Do you think this is still the Qin Dynasty, with backward navigation technology?"

Even if you run overseas, or even hide on the moon, it won't take many years to catch you and bring you back—

Director Luo understood Gao Dongxu's implied meaning and couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"Hehe, Director Luo, you know what, if I wanted to hide, I could search the whole world and they wouldn't find me. And that's only if I voluntarily backed down and decided to hide, hehe." Gao Dongxu's laughter sounded sinister, making people feel very uncomfortable and giving them a creepy feeling.

"Alright, stop with the nonsense and come over here already—"

Director Luo hung up the phone with a forced laugh, his smile vanishing instantly.

He didn't take Gao Dongxu's words as a joke. The more he learned about Gao Dongxu, the more he realized how unique and mysterious he was.

Director Luo has basically confirmed that Gao Dongxu is a cultivator or Qi practitioner, which is definitely a national secret weapon.

We absolutely cannot destroy our own Great Wall. As for those who harbor delusions, let the big boss give them a good talking-to.

Some people are like this: no matter how wise and rational they are when they are young, when they are old and facing death, they lose their reason and nature, and become greedy for everything they have in this world and are unwilling to let go. However, no matter how reluctant they are, they still cannot escape death.

Gao Dongxu, sitting in the car on the way to the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, was also thinking about this question.

Ultimately, we still have to face this problem: the more people have everything, the more they want to live a long and healthy life so that they can enjoy everything they have forever. Even if they can't live forever, they still want to live a few more years and enjoy every day as much as they can.

Because a life with everything is so alluring, anyone would be reluctant to give it up, unable to let go, and unwilling to accept it.

This was true of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang... and countless other emperors and generals.

It seems I'll have to make a proper monster documentary for this time at the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds, to teach them a lesson.

Want to live forever?
Okay, as long as I can accept being turned from a human into a monster!

To put it bluntly, the current situation is that Gao Dongxu has an absolute monopoly on the so-called longevity techniques-related intelligence, information, and data. He has the final right of interpretation, so he can arrange what he wants people to see and guide them wherever he wants.

Do not believe?

Then you can go find it yourselves!

As for becoming a monster to gain longevity or immortality, don't be ridiculous. They would never accept that. Not to mention them, even someone like Wang Zanghai, who has mastered multiple longevity techniques, did not choose the symbiotic longevity technique. How could they possibly choose to become monsters?

Upon arriving at the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, Gao Dongxu first met with Director Luo, listened to Director Luo's long-winded explanation, and also reviewed the surveillance information from various factions.

"Do you know who ended up buying the map?" Director Luo asked with a smile, handing Gao Dongxu a cigarette. Gao Dongxu stood up, took the cigarette, lit it for Director Luo with his lighter, lit it for himself, and nodded.

"Yamamoto Group of Japan".

"The Japanese?" Upon hearing this, Director Luo frowned, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and sneered, "These little devils will never give up their evil intentions."

As he spoke, Director Luo picked up the surveillance footage and searched through it. After finding the relevant information, he looked at Gao Dongxu and said, "This Yamamoto Group has a criminal background."

"It doesn't matter what your background is. Once you're in Changbai Mountain, you'll naturally stay and enjoy the fertile land. Don't worry, I've set up such a big scheme, it's not a joke." Gao Dongxu took a drag of his cigarette and sneered with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Don't leave them all in the mountains. The number of people and forces attracted this time could easily reach hundreds or even thousands. If they are all wiped out, it will inevitably cause protests and investigations from various countries..." When Director Luo heard that Gao Dongxu wanted to leave everyone in the mountains, his lips twitched a few times. He was impressed by Gao Dongxu's decisiveness and ruthlessness.

"What a joke! They all illegally entered undeveloped and dangerous areas. Their deaths are meaningless. If they want to investigate, fine, let them each send their own people into the mountains to investigate. If they're not afraid of death, then let them go in and search," Gao Dongxu said with a sneer.

“Alright, once they’re all in the mountains, I’ll arrange for the media to report on it, first defining their illegal and irregular behavior, and then explaining the dangers of the undeveloped areas,” Director Luo said with a shrewd smile.

"Hehe, you've thought of everything perfectly. Catch a few more fleeing souls in the act at the end, let them speak for themselves, and that'll do the trick," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"Hehe..." Director Luo chuckled as well.

"However, Director Luo, we still need your presence to oversee the most crucial step this time," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"I knew you wouldn't let me off the hook, you brat. Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Director Luo said with a laugh and a scolding tone.

"Don't rush, Director Luo, please come in. I've already arranged for all the 749 personnel to be waiting in the conference room," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Alright, let's go then. Let me see what you're really up to." Director Luo smiled, stubbed out his cigarette, and stood up.

Gao Dongxu also stood up with a smile, stubbed out his cigarette, and followed Director Luo outside. "By the way, your relationship with that Yao Keke is quite special, isn't it?" Director Luo teased Gao Dongxu with a smile as they walked.

"What's wrong?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"The sudden appearance of such a beautiful woman in the bureau has stirred up quite a few people's desires. I heard that many people are asking about her, and some are even making advances towards her. You've abandoned such a stunning beauty and are just leaving her to fend for herself. Don't let someone steal her away in the end," Director Luo joked.

"Hehe, it's their skill to be able to pry it away," Gao Dongxu said with a nonchalant smile.

"So confident?" Director Luo raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Yeah, that's how confident I am. Don't let my womanizing fool you; every woman who follows me is completely devoted to me. That's my strength and charm. Trying to steal my woman? No way. The end result is that they'll watch helplessly as their goddesses become completely obedient and submissive to my every whim, letting me bully them at will," Gao Dongxu teased playfully.

"..." Director Luo's lips twitched, then he laughed and cursed, "You brat, you're a real bastard—"

Gao Dongxu shrugged indifferently. To be honest, he didn't really treat Yao Keke as a precious collectible. To be precise, she was more like a small handheld item, usually left idle and picked up to play with when he was bored.

The two walked through corridors and courtyards, and ten minutes later, they entered the newly renovated 749 compound, where the pond water was clear, koi carp swam in, and green trees and flowers created a pleasant environment.

Staff members immediately greeted the two, and Director Luo and Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded before heading straight to the conference room.

The staff pushed open the meeting room door, and the two walked in. All the personnel who had been waiting stood up and greeted them.

"Please sit down," Director Luo said with a smile as he walked to the head seat, gesturing for people to sit down.

Instead of sitting down, everyone looked at Gao Dongxu, who said calmly, "Please sit down."

Director Luo smiled as he looked at Gao Dongxu, who had sat down, and thought to himself, "I never expected that Gao Dongxu, a leader who is rarely seen, would have such prestige."

"Is the map ready?" Gao Dongxu asked calmly.

“Ready—” Wang Jianjun immediately stood up and answered, then quickly walked to the projection screen, pulled it down, revealing the map of Jilin Province fixed on the screen.

Gao Dongxu said to Wang Jianjun, who was standing in front of the map, "Mark Yanji City with a marker—"

“Yes—” Wang Jianjun immediately picked up a red marker and quickly drew a red circle around Yanji City.

Gao Dongxu looked at Director Luo and said, "Director Luo, the main purpose of this meeting is to arrange for everyone to immediately move into Erdaobaihe Town, Antu County, Yanji City, and replace all the hotels, shops, and restaurants with our people in advance to monitor all forces entering the mountains. At the same time, we need to find a way to secretly plant tracking devices on each team entering the mountains..."

"Erdaobaihe Town?" Director Luo stood up, walked to the map, examined it carefully, and then looked at Gao Dongxu and said, "Now, this little-known town is about to become a hotbed of change."

"It's not exactly unknown, but the development efforts are insufficient and its reputation is still low. However, it is still the first town at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and many tourists come from here to visit Tianchi Lake every year."

"However, I believe that after this incident, this place will become famous all over the world," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Yes, with so many people disappearing in the mountains all at once, it's impossible not to become famous." Director Luo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"You really keep giving me difficult problems. Coordinating with the locals isn't that easy."

"Just get through it, it won't take too long. Besides, it won't affect the normal lives of the locals. It's just a matter of placing some people in. If we explain it clearly to the local people, they are quite conscious and will cooperate well," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, standing there without any sense of hardship.

Director Luo was speechless. Everyone else in the conference room was sitting upright, but if you looked closely, you could still see that many people's mouths were twitching unnaturally.

"I've prepared such a sumptuous feast for guests from all over the world. I must make sure they have a good final journey. I want to ensure that the locals can earn some money before they head into the mountains, since they won't need the money later. It's good to take a cut at the end," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

Everyone's lips twitched again; this was truly plucking feathers from a passing goose.

"Hehe, you really do dig traps at every step, leaving no stone unturned!" Director Luo chuckled.

"I'm just like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait. I didn't force them, they were all scrambling to jump into the pit, I was just going with the flow," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"Okay, I will communicate and coordinate with the local authorities, stand guard until the very end, and see them off on their final journey," Director Luo said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Luo," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, then looked at his subordinates and said, "You all set off this afternoon to get there as soon as possible to prepare. Director Luo, could you arrange a plane to take them there directly?"

"I'll go back and ask later." Director Luo naturally understood what kind of plane Gao Dongxu was talking about, but while it was one thing to take a plane along, it would be much more difficult to make a special trip for them.
