Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Ma Xianhong felt a sharp pain in his head.

Who can I trust?

Whose words are true?

Is she the older sister?

Or is it Zhang Chulan?

They all said it was for my own good...

I...

I can't tell them apart! I simply can't tell them apart!

Ma Xianhong, an honest man who had been brainwashed multiple times by Shuangquan Shou, was now somewhat awakened by Zhang Chulan's words that he should not trust anyone.

He was somewhat obsessed; he couldn't discern the truth from falsehood based on his own understanding...

"Old Ma... what's wrong?"

"Old horse?"

"Don't follow me... I need to think about this by myself. Let me find a quiet place to think things through..."

Ma Xianhong told Zhang Chulan to step back, and then turned to leave.

Something is wrong!

Something's definitely not right!

Zhang Chulan could tell that Ma Xianhong was in very poor condition. He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Logically speaking, after hearing what he just said, Ma Xianhong shouldn't be in this shaky, fleeing state.

He'd already explained the reasoning; Ma Xianhong had no reason not to consider it carefully...

Zhang Chulan frowned, and suddenly remembered what Zhou Fengliu had said.

Perhaps what Brother Liu said was true; the relationship between Lao Ma and the person behind the scenes was not equal at all...

...

Before Zhang Chulan could even speak up to stop him, Zhou Fengliu on the other side had already stood up and blocked Ma Xianhong.

He has given Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong enough patience...

Unfortunately, Ma Xianhong wouldn't eat even if it was soft, so he stopped waiting.

...

Looking at the energetic young version of Ma Xianhong in front of him, Zhou Fengliu yawned and said:

"Old Ma, if you want to find a quiet place, I have a good place... It's so late, why don't you stay?"

When Zhou Fengliu spoke to him, Ma Xianhong subconsciously took a step back.

At this moment, his inability to distinguish between truth and falsehood instantly turned into a trace of fear when he saw Zhou Fengliu walking over.

His mind instinctively recalled the two slaps Zhou Fengliu had given him back in Biyou Village.

Although some time had passed, he could still vaguely feel the pain on his face the moment he saw Zhou Fengliu.

"Where?" Ma Xianhong asked cautiously.

"Hey company, haven't you heard the saying? The more dangerous the place... the safer it is. The company provides meals, accommodation, and even a private room."

company?

Wouldn't we still have to arrest him?

Thinking of this, Ma Xianhong frowned and questioned:

"Zhou Fengliu...what have I, Ma Xianhong, done to wrong you?"

He really couldn't understand why Zhou Fengliu, who had treated him to good food and drinks and covered his travel expenses, would not only refuse to help him but also bring people to demolish his village!

Is it right to bully a village chief who loves "peace" like this?

"Old Ma, don't you understand? There's no real conflict between us. Back in Biyou Village, it was all work... Please understand. As for now... I'm genuinely doing this for your own good, to keep the company quiet..."

"Just do me a favor... come back to the company with me."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Ma Xianhong frowned even more deeply: "I don't trust anyone now..."

"Fine, are you really determined to leave?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

"Correct."

"Alright... I promised you back in Biyou Village that if you could withstand three of my forced attacks, I would let you go... I've already fought two. If you can withstand the last one, I'll let you leave."

"?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Ma Xianhong was taken aback. He had reason to suspect that Zhou Fengliu was deliberately making things difficult for him, an honest man.

Did you still think he was the same Ma Xianhong who had never been persecuted?

Back then, he was clad in protective magical artifacts, brimming with confidence... What's three tough opponents?

Can't they hold on any longer?

The results of it?

Zhou Fengliu's two-handed fight shattered his dream of becoming a weapon refiner... leaving him with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

Ma Xianhong remained silent for a few seconds.

Back in Biyou Village, this stubborn guy would have definitely agreed, but now that he's been forced into a fight, he's matured.

It's just going to the company, isn't it?

He can go!

He could ask the leaders of Nadutong Company what he, Ma Xianhong, had done wrong to deserve such targeting from the company.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes,” Zhou Fengliu said.

Just as Zhou Fengliu finished speaking, Ma Xianhong also spoke up in response:

"Okay, I'll go..."

He had only spoken halfway through his sentence, before he could finish, when Zhou Fengliu, who assumed he had tacitly agreed, unleashed his attack.

A large, unexpected blow landed on his left cheek.

...

P.S.: I'm just asking for everything as usual. It's been almost four months since I last updated!

Dear godfathers, though my life is short, it lasts!

Chapter 238 Lotus Circling the Pillar! (First Update)

A fight is like a clear blue sky with white clouds, suddenly turned into a storm...

There's nowhere to hide...

It always catches people off guard!

Ma Xianhong never expected Zhou Fengliu to actually slap him so hard...

And what about Zhou Fengliu?

I never expected that Lao Ma would actually agree to go to the company...

Through a series of coincidences, the two of them finally brought together the very fight that was still missing in Biyou Village, which was now being humiliated by Ma Xianhong.

...

In an instant.

Ma Xianhong felt as if his left cheek had been slammed by a speeding truck; the immense impact sent him flying, as if he were being tossed around in a washing machine...

After a full ten and a half minutes, his brain was completely shaken up before he finally crashed into a stone wall and came to a stop.

With that power and speed, Zhou Fengliu was truly trying to keep Ma Xianhong here.

The shocking scene startled everyone present.

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, wondering to himself if Zhou Fengliu would actually slap Old Ma to death.

He hurriedly ran to check on Ma Xianhong's condition.

Feng Baobao, who was warming herself by the fire, heard the commotion and looked over. She only glanced at him before concluding that Ma Xianhong was probably still alive.

far away.

The two members of the Lu family, who were still observing from the shadows, were completely stunned when they saw the power of Zhou Fengliu's powerful attack.

Lu Lin, who was in the lead, frowned, then looked at Lu Linglong beside her and asked:

"You were slapped by him at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony back then?"

Obviously.

He had heard about his cousin being beaten at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
