One person: Senior brother Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master begged me to descend the mountain.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Suddenly, a piercing electronic sound rang out.

"What happened?"

Gao Lian was handing Er Zhuang a tissue when he heard this voice, and his face turned deathly pale, even showing a hint of instinctive fear.

Erzhuang didn't say anything.

Her small hands, which were holding the cola, suddenly froze, and the green torrent of data in her eyes surged once again at an unprecedented speed.

"Dad...it's a red notice."

Erzhuang's voice was no longer playful; it even carried a hint of coldness.

"Something big has happened in the South China region."

She made two slender strokes in the air with her fingers.

On the screen, the photos of Zhang Chulan wetting the bed were instantly erased.

Instead, there was a photo of a woman.

She was an ordinary-looking girl with a sickly bluish-purple complexion, wearing a uniform from a local online retailer, and her empty eyes were unsettling.

Next to the photo, two large, blood-red characters were prominently printed: Chen Duo.

"Chen Duo, a temporary worker in South China?"

Gao Lian stared at the screen, his breathing becoming heavy.

"She killed her supervisor, Lao Liao? How is that possible..."

"That's just how it is, Dad."

Erzhuang turned his head and looked at Zhang Taichu with a solemn expression:

"The company issued the highest-level mobilization order for temporary workers."

"The temporary workers from the six major regions, apart from the already deceased Lao Liao, the head of the South China region, are the monsters from the other five regions advancing towards South China."

"Objective: Capture Chen Duo alive; if she resists, kill her on the spot."

"Temporary worker?"

On the sofa, Zhang Taichu lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Gao Lian:

"Those dirty work specialists under Fatty Zhao?"

"Yes."

Gao Lian spoke in a deep voice, his tone filled with apprehension:

"Nominally, they are unofficial assistants, but in reality, they are all monsters who are beyond the reach of the law and beyond the constraints of morality."

"Each of them is a trump card, and also the company's sharpest weapon."

As Gao Lian spoke, he turned to look at Zhang Taichu, his tone becoming sincere:

"Master, you must not get involved in this muddy water."

"This was an internal purge within Nadutong, and it was extremely bloody."

"Chen Duo's constitution... she's a walking plague; whoever touches her is doomed." Gao Lian's meaning was clear.

Zhang Taichu has just wiped out the Wang family and is currently riding high. If he were to interfere in the company's internal power struggles, he would really be causing a major upheaval.

Zhang Taichu chuckled and exerted force with his fingertips, causing the grape to burst instantly.

"I have no interest in cleaning up Zhao Fangxu's mess."

He took the new Coke Erzhuang handed him, took a sip, and frowned in disgust.

"That kind of troublemaker, let whoever wants to go go."

Hearing this, Gao Lian visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was terrified that this man might suddenly decide to kill off all the assembled temporary workers as well.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Chulan had calmed down by now. While rubbing his chest, which ached from the anger over the photos, he chimed in:

"I've heard Xu San talk about those temporary workers; they're all freaks."

"We're here to do serious business; finding the truth is the key."

"Ma Xianhong from Biyou Village is our target, right, Lao Wang?" Zhang Chulan nudged Wang Ye next to him.

Wang Ye rolled over, pulled his hat over his face, and mumbled something like a dream:

"Don't look for me... I just came here to avoid trouble."

Just then.

Er Zhuang suddenly let out a soft "Eh".

"Um?"

Her eyes, which seemed to flow with data, narrowed slightly, and her fingers moved rapidly across the air.

"The list... has been updated."

"For insurance purposes, the company utilized cross-regional assistance for this operation."

"Not only is the target region in South China, but also..."

Erzhuang pointed his finger sharply.

A table full of names unfolded instantly on the big screen.

East China – Xiao Zizai.

Southwest – Wang Zhenqiu.

Northwest – Lao Meng.

Central China – Clarinet.

Northeast China – Feng Baobao

silence.

A brief, frozen silence fell over the living room.

Zhang Chulan's face, which had been wearing a playful smile, froze completely the moment he saw the last name.

"Wait...wait a minute."

Zhang Chulan suddenly stood up, his entire body almost pressed against the TV screen.

He stared intently at those three words, his eyes beginning to bloodshot.

"North China... Feng Baobao?"

"Is that crazy woman on the list too?"

Zhang Chulan's voice was trembling.

He knows Feng Baobao too well.

After all, Bao'er is weak, helpless, and pitiful. Apart from fighting and digging holes, she has no common sense about life.

With him around, I can barely maintain the appearance of a "normal person".

But now, Bao'er is actually going to participate in this cleaning mission with an extremely high mortality rate all by herself? And...

Or should we cooperate with that group of perverts whom Erzhuang calls monsters?

"Old Zhang...look, am I seeing things?"

Zhang Chulan turned his head, his eyes filled with an unprecedented panic:

"Those two bastards, Xu San and Xu Si! How dare they let Bao'er go to a place like that alone?!"

Gao Lian frowned, looked at the excited Zhang Chulan, and explained, "This is normal."

"Temporary workers in each district must accept reassignment; that's the rule."

"Since Feng Baobao is labeled as a temporary worker in North China, she can't escape it."

Screw the rules!

Zhang Chulan immediately swore.

He spun around in the living room, sweat streaming down his forehead.

He had already begun to imagine Bao'er being attacked by a group of killers, or Bao'er being used as cannon fodder because she was too honest.

"No...no."

Zhang Chulan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and knelt down directly in front of Zhang Taichu with a thud.

The movements were extremely fast, without the slightest hesitation.

"Master Uncle!!!"

Zhang Chulan's shout was earth-shattering, even carrying a hint of a sob.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to find out the truth?"

"Look! This Chen Duo is a temporary worker from South China; she defected to Biyou Village!"

"That Ma Xianhong is in Biyou Village!"

"If we go with these temporary workers, it'll be perfectly legitimate, and the company should thank us!"

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he clung tightly to Zhang Taichu's leg, practically pressing his face against Zhang Taichu's shoe.

"Most importantly... it's Bao'er!"

"With that brain of hers, she'd be sold out and still be counting the money for someone else if no one was watching!"

"Those temporary workers are all ruthless killers. If Bao'er goes with them, isn't that like throwing a lamb to the slaughter?"

"Master Uncle, please! Let's set off for Biyou Village right now!"

"Just think of it as a vacation. I'll book the plane tickets, carry your luggage, buy you water for the journey, and get you anything you want!"

Seeing Zhang Chulan's shameless behavior, Erzhuang next to him was stunned.

"This is... shameless?"

Erzhuang muttered something under his breath.

Zhang Taichu tried to pull his leg out of Zhang Chulan's arms in disgust, but found that the boy was holding on even tighter than Wang Ai's Hundred Ghosts.

"Let go."

"I won't give in! Unless you agree to save Bao'er!"

Zhang Chulan stuck out his neck, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

Looking into Zhang Chulan's anxious eyes, Zhang Taichu felt a slight stirring in his heart.

This guy usually seems to be full of bad intentions and selfish, but he's really willing to go to great lengths for that Feng Baobao.

"That crazy girl..." Zhang Taichu pondered for a moment.

In fact, he had already become interested when Gao Erzhuang mentioned Biyou Village.

After all, the four characters "神机百鍊" represent the ultimate in creativity.

If it's really there, then perhaps the truth is there too.

"Alright, stop howling."

Zhang Taichu kicked Zhang Chulan away, saying, "You're giving me a headache."

Zhang Chulan was kicked and rolled over, but he got up with a happy expression on his face:

"Grandmaster Uncle, you mean... you've agreed?"

Zhang Taichu stood up and straightened his Taoist robe.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the distant south.

"After all, it involves the Eight Extraordinary Skills, so we had to make this trip sooner or later."

"Besides, that Feng Baobao is quite to my liking, it's just that she's not very bright."

"By the way..."

Zhang Taichu glanced at the list:

"Look at these monsters that are being raised everywhere, aren't they enough for me to slap?"
