Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 142 Who is the Undercover? Zhao Fangxu's Warning

"Secret, Lu Liang didn't tell me any secret..."

As soon as Zhang Chulan finished speaking, the display screen behind the glass wall of the interrogation room suddenly emitted a sharp and rapid prompt sound.

"Drip drip drip drip!"

The sound was like a sharp blade, instantly piercing the silence and echoing wildly inside and outside the interrogation room. At the same time, a dangerous red light began to flash non-stop, dazzling and shocking.

All this indicates the same thing - what Zhang Chulan just said was false.

At this moment, Zhang Chulan slightly widened his eyes, stretched his neck to look in the direction of the red light, and muttered softly, "So this thing is so sensitive."

"Zhang Chulan, what do you mean?"

A layer of frost quickly covered Bi Youlong's face. He gritted his teeth and questioned word by word.

"Hehe, I just want to test whether this wide stool is useful or not." Zhang Chulan said with a grin.

However, when he saw Bi Youlong rolling up his sleeves, looking like he was about to start a torture, he immediately changed the subject and added:
"Well, Lu Liang did tell me a secret."

Hearing this answer, Bi Youlong and Huang Boren were immediately cheered up, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in their eyes.

Because the instrument on the display screen did not sound an alarm, it proved that this statement was true.

Bi Youlong snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as torches, fixed directly on Zhang Chulan.

"Don't dilly-dally, Zhang Chulan, tell me now! What exactly is that secret that Lu Liang told you?"

Zhang Chulan glanced at Bi Youlong meaningfully, as if brewing something, then cleared his throat and spoke slowly:

"Lü Liang told me that there is an undercover agent from Yaoxing Society on the company's board of directors."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire interrogation room fell into silence. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and even the display screen was extremely quiet.

After a moment, Zhao Fangxu spoke up, "Then who did he say that undercover agent was?"

"The undercover agent that Lu Liang suspected?" Zhang Chulan pretended to think for a moment before slowly answering, "Mr. Bi."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Fangxu and Huang Boren turned to look at Bi Youlong.

Bi Youlong's face turned ashen in an instant, and anger surged across his face like a surging tide.

However, before Bi Youlong could open his mouth to refute, Zhang Chulan added lightly, "Of course, he said Mr. Huang is also a possibility."

"You're talking nonsense!" Huang Boren blurted out in anger.

"Mr. Bi, Mr. Huang, don't be angry."

Zhang Chulan had a very sincere smile on his face, and his tone was full of comfort.

"That's what Lu Liang said. I don't think so."

"Drip drip drip drip!"

The sharp, almost piercing reminder sound rang out again in the interrogation room, and the red light once again filled the entire interrogation room.

Obviously, from the perspective of Kuan Deng, it is clear that this statement is false.

The fire of anger in Bi Youlong and Huang Boren's eyes burned even more fiercely.

Zhang Chulan laughed awkwardly twice and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his head, but failed because of the firm restraints on the wide bench.

So, he simply put on an extremely innocent expression and started to act stupid.

A great way to cover up a secret is to divert attention to another secret.

This was what Lu Liang told him in advance, and he also thoughtfully prepared this explosive news for him.

Now it seems that the effect is significant and immediate!

At this moment, Bi Youlong and Huang Boren cast wary glances at each other. For a moment, no one wanted to continue asking questions to Zhang Chulan.

In this delicate atmosphere, Zhao Fangxu's calm voice rang out:
"Okay, let's stop here for today."

……

In the chairman's office at the headquarters of Nadutong Company.

Zhang Chulan followed Zhao Fangxu into the house and consciously closed the door behind him.

Zhao Fangxu stood by the window with his hands behind his back. His slightly bulging belly made the white shirt he was wearing look round.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Chu Lan, you are not honest enough today."

"Boss Zhao, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened instantly, and his expression became exaggerated.

"My loyalty to you is witnessed by the sun, the moon, heaven and earth!"

"To me, not to the company?"

Zhao Fangxu raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone seemed casual, but he accurately pointed out the subtle yet non-negligible difference.

"Hey, everyone knows that Nadutong was founded by you, Mr. Zhao. Being honest to you is the same as being honest to the company!"

Zhang Chulan laughed it off and tried to get away with it.

Zhao Fangxu raised his eyelids slightly, obviously not intending to let this question go easily.

He slowly turned around, staring straight at Zhang Chulan with a sharp gaze, and asked, "You don't believe Youlong and Boren?"

"I'm not familiar with Mr. Bi and Mr. Huang, so how can I talk about whether they believe it or not?" Zhang Chulan responded with a playful smile.

But Zhao Fangxu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and just looked at Zhang Chulan quietly without saying a word.

There was silence for three seconds.

Zhang Chulan raised his hands helplessly, showing a gesture of surrender.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, let me tell you the truth. In the company, I don't trust anyone except you."

Zhang Chulan's tone became sincere.

"I know you've been helping me and standing by my side during today's interrogation."

"Besides, you've been helping Master Xu cover up for Sister Baoer all these years. Just for this reason, I trust you!"

"Oh! Slippery tongue!"

Zhao Fangxu raised his hand and touched his chin, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he teased: "You don't trust me, you just have no other choice."

"If I were your enemy, you would be completely helpless in Feng Baobao's matter."

"You are wise." Zhang Chulan collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball without arguing.

Zhao Fangxu also slowly sat down on the chair behind the desk, crossed his hands, and supported his chin with the backs of his hands. He exuded a calm aura.

"You've taught your baby well. She actually handled today's leniency bench interrogation perfectly."

Zhao Fangxu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Zhang Chulan showed a smug smile on his face, "Hehe, Mr. Zhao, you don't know Sister Bao'er's personality, she is very straightforward and simple."

"She is like true gold that fears no fire."

"Really? I feel like it should be called 'I'm just an emotionless answer-reciting machine.'"

Zhao Fangxu looked at Zhang Chulan with a smile in his eyes and joked with Feng Baobao's tone, even imitating the Sichuan accent perfectly.

Zhang Chulan laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, hehe," and quickly said:
"Boss Zhao, you are truly wise and insightful."

"I don't need you to hold me up."

Zhao Fangxu shook his head slightly, the smile in his eyes still there, but he didn't say anything more in the end.

He quickly changed the subject and his expression turned serious.

"Chu Lan, how do you think the company should handle Lu Liang's matter?"

"Boss Zhao, I'm just an ordinary employee in the North China region, a tiny shrimp that can't be any smaller."

Zhang Chulan stretched out two fingers and gestured exaggeratedly.

"How would I know what to do with such a big thing? Mr. Zhao, just make the decision yourself."

"Oh, do you think Lu Liang's matter is a big deal?" Zhao Fangxu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with interest.

"Of course it counts." Zhang Chulan nodded vigorously. "It's not a big deal. The company and the Ten Boss Club wouldn't make such a big fuss..."

Zhao Fangxu chuckled, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "You know it's a big deal, but you still dare to get involved?"

Zhang Chulan raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Zhao, you know that Sister Bao'er's matter is extremely important to me. Since I know that there may be clues to her life story hidden in the Qinling Mountains, I must go and find out."

Hearing this, Zhao Fangxu gently pushed his glasses up on his nose, and his gaze behind the lenses became more serious. "Chu Lan, I was born and raised in troubled times."

"Over the years, I have witnessed so much turmoil and unrest, so I know very well that this world will not be stable forever, and the future may be filled with chaos!"

"But I don't want it to be messed up again in my lifetime."

“So I’ve been maintaining order all my life.”

Zhao Fangxu paused slightly, staring intently at Zhang Chulan.

"As I said, we're both aliens, and emotionally, I don't want Baoer to suffer any bad consequences, so I'm helping her."

Zhao Fangxu's tone softened, but then he changed the subject.

"But as a defender of order, my reason tells me that I must remain vigilant against Baoer."

"Old Xu has covered up Bao'er's affairs until now. From now on, it's up to you, Chu Lan..."

"Just like today's interrogation, I will do my best to cover it up for you, as long as you can."

"But if you can't cover it up anymore, if one day Bao'er becomes a source of chaos," Zhao Fangxu said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, but I'm definitely not on Bao'er's side."

After hearing what Zhao Fangxu said, Zhang Chulan put away his playful attitude and nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Zhao, I understand. I understand what you mean."

Zhao Fangxu nodded slightly when he heard this, then waved his hand, trying to dispel the serious atmosphere.

However, his next words instantly made Zhang Chulan feel uneasy.

Zhao Fangxu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and asked:
"Chu Lan, going to Qinling is such an important matter, but Lu Liang still remembered to inform you before leaving. It seems that you two have a good relationship."

"That's not true." Zhang Chulan reacted very quickly and immediately waved his hand to deny it.

Zhao Fangxu smiled and had no intention of asking further questions. He just raised his eyelids slightly.

"That's a shame. I was hoping you could give him a message."

"If you want to bring a message..." Zhang Chulan scratched the back of his head with his hand, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Zhao, can you tell me first..."

Zhao Fangxu glanced at Zhang Chulan with a smile and said teasingly, "Why, now you don't deny that you have a connection with Lu Liang?"

"Mr. Zhao, please don't wrongly accuse me."

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened immediately, and he defended himself, "I'm just trying to help the leader solve his problems."

"That guy Lu Liang's whereabouts are elusive. I might run into him someday."

"Back then, it was because he had someone dig up my grandfather's grave and kidnapped me, which dragged me into the conflict in the alien world."

"At least this can be considered a fateful relationship."

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, how about you tell me what you want to say first? I'll remember it and pass it on as soon as I get the chance?"

Zhao Fangxu smiled and said, "Okay."

"Then, Mr. Zhao, what message do you want to give to Lu Liang?"

Zhang Chulan immediately straightened up, tilted his ears slightly forward, and put on an appearance of listening attentively, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.

"Please tell him for me - everything should be done in moderation. The moon waxes and wanes, and a full vessel easily falls."

"what does it mean?"

"Just repeat it back to him exactly as it was. He'll understand."

A hint of contemplation flashed in Zhao Fangxu's eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze to Zhang Chulan and asked:

"Chu Lan, are you wondering why the company didn't have any intention of killing Lu Liang even though he caused such a big stir in the alien world?"

Zhang Chulan nodded slightly, and then put on an attitude of being eager to learn and inquire.

"Mr. Zhao, please tell me directly."

"Chu Lan, do you know how long the Quanxing sect has existed?" Zhao Fangxu did not answer directly, but asked another question.

"A thousand years or so." There was a hint of uncertainty in Zhang Chulan's tone.

Zhao Fangxu nodded slightly, acknowledging his answer, and then asked:

"Although there has been a long-standing tradition of treating Quan Xing arbitrarily within the alien community, this sect has survived for thousands of years. Why do you think this is?"

Zhang Chulan raised his hand and scratched his head, "Uh... I don't know..."

Zhao Fangxu narrowed his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.

"Because they have a reason to exist!"

Zhao Fangxu's eyes fell on the Bagua-shaped ornament on the table. He fell into a brief moment of contemplation and then continued:

“Black and white may seem opposite, but they are interdependent.”

"If black is completely eliminated, white will only split and a new darkness will be born from it."

“Positions may change in a thousand ways, but as long as we exist, struggle will be the only constant.”

"Everyone knows it tacitly: as long as the Quan Xing remains, anyone can claim to be righteous."

"It can be said that their presence is a necessary part of maintaining stability."

"Of course, the premise is that they cannot take the initiative to disrupt this balance."

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened slightly, as if he suddenly understood something, "You mean like Wu Gensheng back then..."

"Yeah." Zhao Fangxu's voice became a little more serious.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

"To subdue a chaotic sect and make friends with the world's heroes... this is a dream that many extraordinary people find hard to resist."

"Of course, most people can't do that."

"But there are always people who continue to try, and the more talented they are, the closer they are to success, but also the more dangerous it is."

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips slightly, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and he asked:
"Mr. Zhao, are you worried that Lu Liang will be the one who can do it?"

Zhao Fangxu nodded solemnly.

"That's why I asked you to pass on that message."

"One should act with moderation. A full moon will wane, and a full vessel will easily fall. If what he's planning is what I'm thinking, once he succeeds, he'll completely oppose the company."

"And I will never allow this to happen!"

Zhao Fangxu's voice instantly became cold and hard, completely different from his usual gentle temperament, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

Zhang Chulan shrank his neck and defended Lu Liang:
"I remember that Lu Liang was quite measured in his actions and never caused any casualties."

"Yes, that's why I asked you to pass on the message instead of taking any other action."

As Zhao Fangxu spoke, he leaned over slightly, opened the drawer under his desk, and took out a file bag.

The file bag was bulging, and it seemed to contain a lot of information.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan immediately sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, stretched his neck and looked up at the file bag curiously.

On the top of the file bag, there was a line of large characters written vertically - "Action Report on the Biyou Village Incident".

Zhao Fangxu stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the report, making a dull and rhythmic sound.

"I know that Lu Liang was responsible for the incident in Biyou Village."

"He's taken away so many resources from Biyou Village, leaving the company with almost nothing. While this is unpleasant, it doesn't touch the company's bottom line."

"Getting rid of Ma Xianhong and Chen Duo is what the company really cares about."

"However, he was sensible enough to destroy the self-cultivation furnace."

"Besides, with his methods, he might be able to cure Chen Duo."

At this point, Zhao Fangxu's voice suddenly paused, and his eyes showed a hint of interest and "looking forward to the show".

"However, his impersonation of Chen Junyan has planted a huge hidden danger."

"He will have to deal with the subsequent troubles himself."
