One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

That evening, Su Mu brought Zhang Chulan to the welcome party.

He didn't tell everyone about the nickname "Hope Brother," because that would let people know that Zhang Chulan was in contact with Lü Liang.

Lu Liang is still officially a member of Quanxing, and it's not appropriate for Zhang Chulan, as a member of the company, to openly associate with Quanxing.

No one noticed anything was wrong, except for Xu Si.

Xu Si leaned closer to Su Mu, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "You mean you were going to bring Zhang Chulan along?"

"Is this all you've prepared?"

"Otherwise what?"

Su Mu shrugged.

"We're all having a gathering here, Xu San and Bao'er are here too, why aren't we bringing Zhang Chulan?"

"Isn't this detrimental to unity and goodwill?"

"Or do you think Zhang Chulan is superfluous to our team?"

"I--"

Xu Si was speechless, and could only roll his eyes.

Damn it, what a waste of my feelings.

……

In the following days, Su Mu experienced firsthand what it meant to be a leader.

If anything happens, I'll handle it.

It's okay, it's okay.

Every day I only need to come to the company once, clock in, and then lie down and wait to get off work.

When I was working, I used to worry about what to eat for lunch and dinner.

Now that Fu Rong is here, I don't need to think about lunch or dinner at all; she takes care of everything for me.

In short, it made Su Mu feel extremely satisfied.

Of course, that's not all that's enjoyable.

Because a lot of fresh chives have come in, some of the old tricks can be used again.

Su Mu casually rattled off stories about slacking off at work and sleeping in meetings, leaving them all dumbfounded.

As the progress of the game was still in a daze, the online score rose by a full five points, reaching 69 points!

We're just one step away from unlocking new abilities.

Unfortunately, happy days are always short-lived.

While Su Mu was taking a break, our Hope Brother was far from resting.

Although he had lost Tian Jinzhong's memories, Hope Brother still managed to find Lu Jin thanks to his connections and the information about the Double-Handed Technique he obtained from Lü Liang.

Just like in the original story, Lu Jin told Zhang Chulan about the Thirty-Six Thieves and the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

Zhang Chulan quickly identified the key to the problem—

Rootless.

At this moment, however, he was unaware of the story that had unfolded between Wugensheng and Lu Jin.

In short, after Zhang Chulan was away for two days, he went back to the company to ask Xu San and Xu Si for leave.

Then Xu San and Xu Si found Su Mu.

Long ago, during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Su Mu had already stated that he would help Feng Baobao regain her memories.

So, when we go out to find Wugensheng, we should naturally invite Su Mu along.

Calling on Su Mu was naturally to ensure his protection.

This trip can hardly be called safe.

From Lu Jin, Zhang Chulan learned that Mei Jinfeng was a staunch follower of Wugensheng and had a close relationship with him.

Therefore, the arrest of Mei Jinfeng and the people behind Ma Xianhong may also be related to Wu Gensheng.

Similarly, we can learn from Lü Liang that Gong Qing is currently leading a group to search for the elders of the Quanxing Sect.

There are only a handful of Quanxing elders now, if you count them on your fingers.

Mei Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing were two of them.

As long as Gong Qing goes to Xia Liuqing, Xia Liuqing will definitely ask him to find Mei Jinfeng.

Therefore, they may not only encounter members of the Quanxing Sect, but also those behind Ma Xianhong.

Neither of these groups is easy to deal with.

Zhang Chulan knew he wasn't confident he could handle two groups of people at the same time.

Therefore, he needs Su Mu.

In the conference room, Zhang Chulan set the goals and strategies.

"Our first step is to find Mei Jinfeng."

"Previously, Xia Liuqing had already asked Wang Zhenqiu to find it, and had also passed on her methods to him."

"Then if we start with Qiu'er and help him, we can easily find Mei Jinfeng."

"And with the ball around, if we run into the Quanxing faction, there will be room for maneuver."

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he looked at Su Mu.

"Of course, when negotiating with the Quanxing, we must also demonstrate our strength."

"If the strength is not equal, we don't even have the right to talk."

"So, Brother Su, if anyone tries to cause trouble, please give them a little shock when they win the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."

"Don't worry." Su Mu waved his hand. "I will cooperate with you as much as possible in this operation."

According to the original plot, Zhang Chulan was delayed for too long by Qu Tong's people after entering the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

This led them to discover, after they deciphered the secret of the Nine-Bend Cave, that most of the contents had already been taken by Qu Tong's people.

Therefore, in the early stages, Su Mu can act together with Zhang Chulan and the others.

But once they entered the Qinling Mountains, Su Mu had to go ahead on his own.

Hopefully, Wugensheng's collection will eventually contain something that will allow him to unlock the next artifact.

……

Soon, the team, having completed all the arrangements, set off.

Because this matter concerns Feng Baobao, only three people—Su Mu, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao—knew the details of the situation.

Even Fu Rong wasn't brought along.

The group flew back to Liupanshui.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Chulan contacted Wang Zhenqiu by phone.

"Ball, where are you?"

"Zhang Chulan?" Wang Zhenqiu looked at his phone, somewhat surprised.

"Did you need something from me?"

"Yes, when we broke into Biyou Village, didn't that old bastard Xia Liuqing come out and ask you to help find Granny Mei Jinfeng?"

"The company wants us to find the person behind Ma Xianhong. I thought about it and decided that it would be easier to follow this lead."

So, where are you now?

"Has Grandma Jin Feng been found?"

Wang Zhenqiu smiled upon hearing this.

"I'm in Liupanshui right now, and I have something very interesting to tell you—"

"Grandma Jin Feng has been found!"

"And it was found in her house."

"What?!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise, "At her house?"

"right."

"After returning from the company, I started looking for Grandma Jin Feng."

"Unfortunately, we tried many methods, but we couldn't find it."

"Finally, I thought I'd go back to Granny Jin Feng's place first to see if there were any more clues."

"I didn't expect to see her come out of her house as soon as I arrived at her door."

Wang Zhenqiu explained, "Later I asked Grandma Jin Feng, and she didn't know when she got home either."

"I see."

Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth.

Ma Xianhong's people have already gotten what they wanted, so we can't delay any longer!

"Qiu'er, are you with Granny Jin Feng now?"

"I'll bring Brother Su and Sister Bao to find you right now."

"There are some things I want to ask Granny Jin Feng!"
