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

"You'll need to keep a closer eye on things at headquarters... Lao Qing, with great power comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility comes great ability. I have high hopes for you..."

"I'm going back to catch up on my sleep."

He patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder and then walked towards the elevator.

"..."

Watching Zhou Fengliu's departing figure, Zhuge Qing felt a sense of bewilderment.

He clearly violated regulations, so why... didn't he get paid leave?

...

That night.

Jay Chou, who had a busy day, was still catching up on sleep.

Before he could even wake up naturally, a phone call came into his far superior cell phone.

Accompanied by a ringtone that read "Kun, you're so beautiful," Zhou Fengliu groggily opened his eyes and glanced at the caller ID on his phone.

It belongs to Zhuge Qing.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, something's happened!"

Zhuge Qing's first words sobered Zhou Fengliu up considerably.

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 468 What?! Qu Tong is dead! (First update)

"You're calling me in the middle of the night? What, did aliens call you?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhuge Qing on the other end of the phone replied, "It's not that serious... it's just that Qu Tong is dead."

"Oh, Qu Tong is dead."

Zhou Fengliu didn't react for a moment until he repeated it again, at which point he suddenly sat up in bed.

"What the hell? Qu Tong is dead? What happened?"

"Is such that..."

After Zhuge Qing's description, Zhou Fengliu roughly understood what had happened.

On the way to the bunker, an unidentified gang ambushed the transport vehicle, killed the headquarters employees who were escorting Qu Tong, and stabbed Qu Tong to death several times before leaving after silencing everyone.

At the same time, the location where Nguyen Phuong, Dao San Cong, and others were being held was also attacked by an unidentified group.

The group took Nguyen Phuong, Dao San Cong, and others away and blew up the place where they were being held.

no doubt.

In the end, this was a silencing operation targeting Qu Tong.

Upon hearing the details of the incident, Zhou Fengliu, who had just been woken up, frowned slightly, his sleepiness completely gone.

Isn't Qu Tong the real culprit?

How come Qu Tong herself is dead?

Zhou Fengliu, who was standing in God's-eye view, was somewhat confused by this sudden event.

He had always believed, both in the original novel and in reality, that Qu Tong was behind the scenes, driving the plot forward...

But now that Qu Tong has suddenly died, he has some doubts.

or...

Did Sister Ma fake her death?

Was this actually Qu Tong's scheme?

After a moment's thought, Zhou Fengliu felt that Qu Tong's sudden death had led the incident in two directions:

Either Qu Tong faked her death, or there's someone behind her who doesn't want her to live under the control of All-Tong.

"Where is Qu Tong's body? I'm going to check now."

Zhou Fengliu decided to go see Qu Tong's body in person, so he spoke into his phone.

Upon hearing that he was coming, Zhuge Qing said he would come to pick him up shortly.

After a moment.

Inside the morgue at the headquarters of Nadutong.

Zhao Fangxu led Zhou Fengliu and Ma Xianhong in to examine Qu Tong's body.

As the freezer slowly opened, a bloodless corpse appeared before the three of them.

This corpse... is Qu Tong's.

"A total of seven stab wounds: three to the abdomen, one to the left arm, and three to the chest. She died from massive bleeding... After biological comparison, she is indeed Qu Tong, and there should be no mistake."

Zhao Fangxu solemnly recounted the cause of Qu Tong's death.

Looking at Qu Tong in front of him, Ma Xianhong, Qu Tong's younger brother, confirmed again and again that this was indeed Qu Tong.

Having received confirmation from Ma Xianhong, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, then looked at Zhao Fangxu:

"Mr. Zhao, who do you think could have done this?"

"The investigation is still ongoing. Those people are still so decisive, leaving no trace..."

Zhao Fangxu was also in a bad mood. Qu Tong died at Na Du Tong, and no matter where you look at it, Na Du Tong is inextricably linked to this.

"I have already issued orders to block the news... to minimize the impact of this matter as much as possible. I have increased the number of people protecting Huang Boren, hoping to get some clues from him."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu didn't say much, after all, he was currently suspended from his duties and couldn't get involved.

The three left the morgue. Zhao Fangxu went first, leaving the space to Zhou Fengliu and Ma Xianhong, the two young men.

"Old Ma, do you know anything inside information?" Zhou Fengliu turned to look at Ma Xianhong and asked.

"I don't know... I don't know anything."

Ma Xianhong was also confused at this time. He originally thought that Qu Tong had been harming him all along, but now that Qu Tong was dead, he began to doubt himself.

"Alright, so what are your plans for the future?" Zhou Fengliu continued to ask.

“I’m not sure.” Ma Xianhong shook his head, then paused before continuing:

"Mr. Zhao said he's found my family, but they don't remember anything from back then, and they've forgotten me... My grandfather has also forgotten everything about Shenji Bailian..."

"In the future, I might use the stove to regain my memories, and then... track down the people who harmed my family."

Listening to Ma Xianhong talk about the furnace, Zhou Fengliu couldn't help but think of the time he had broken two of Old Ma's cultivation furnaces. Seeing him nod, he then extended an olive branch:

"Qu Tong is already gone, and it's not safe for you outside. Why don't you come to the company? Maybe I can help you find the murderer or something..."

"I have plenty of manpower here. Chen Duo, Fu Rong, and Zhuge Qing are all old acquaintances of yours. There's also Zhang Lingyu from the Celestial Master's Mansion, talents from the Tang Clan, Tao Tao... plus me, it's definitely a professional team."

Listening to Zhou Fengliu talk about a professional team, Ma Xianhong turned his head and glanced at Zhou Fengliu:

"Will you help me?"

"Old Ma, you're being too polite. Although I've been targeting you before, it was all part of the company's mission, and I had no choice..."

"If you join the company, there won't be any team conflicts anymore. As long as you're willing to pay, I will definitely help you."

Ma Xianhong: "..."

"I'll stay at the company for a while, and as for what happens after that... we'll see."

After a period of silence, Ma Xianhong smoothly chose to join the company.

He's not stupid. The company has information about his family, and Zhou Fengliu, the God of War, is verbally supporting him. Joining the company would definitely be the most beneficial thing for him.

"correct..."

"Do you have something about me that's very important...?"

After finishing their business, Ma Xianhong thought of something and asked Zhou Fengliu a question.

"Things about you..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment, then took out his far superior phone and showed Ma Xianhong the video that Zhang Chulan had sent him years ago.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Looking at the phone Zhou Fengliu handed him, Ma Xianhong silently frowned.

Clicking on the video reveals him sitting in a chair in the company's conference room, recounting the information he had gathered over the past few days and his experiences at Na Du Tong.

"Yes...that's the part."

Ma Xianhong held his forehead with his left hand.

His expression showed signs of pain.

He didn't have a complete memory of this part of the video; only a few fragments of memory occasionally popped up out of nowhere.

After watching the video, he became even more certain that Qu Tong had tampered with his memories.
