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

"Um..."

...

"Master."

Jin Yong noticed the commotion behind him and spoke up to remind Ma Xianhong.

Ma Xianhong turned around and saw Zhuge Qing not far away.

"Brother Zhuge... do you want to join our Biyou Village?"

"Hmm...I guess so," Zhuge Qing replied.

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing's reply, a smile finally appeared on Ma Xianhong's face.

Finally... Biyou Village has a warlock now!

not easy.

This moment is worth recording.

Even without Wang Ye's help, Zhuge Qing is still capable!

"Welcome, Brother Zhuge..." Ma Xianhong said to Zhuge Qing.

"Um..."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Wang Ye and Zhou Fengliu appeared in everyone's sight.

Ma Xianhong was overjoyed to see that Wang Ye and Zhou Fengliu had also returned.

Could it be...

Could it be that they are from Biyou Village...?

"Master Wang, Brother Zhou... why are you back too?" Ma Xianhong asked.

“Me? I’m on vacation… I haven’t finished my trip yet,” Zhou Fengliu said.

“I accompanied him on the trip,” Wang Ye said, pointing to Zhou Fengliu.

...

P.S.: I wish for everything, I wish for everything. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers. Happy Lunar New Year's Eve.

Chapter 144 A Bunch of Scheming Old Fools~ (First Update)

High EQ: Me? I'm on vacation, and I haven't had enough fun yet.

Low emotional intelligence: I don't have to work, I get free meals and accommodation, and I'm waited on hand and foot; my main job is to get things for free...

High emotional intelligence: I came here on vacation with him.

Low emotional intelligence: Go along with him to get something for free! Getting something for free is fun for a while, and getting something for free all the time is even more fun.

Zhou Fengliu and Wang Ye demonstrated their unique understanding and "high emotional intelligence" in their responses, leaving the audience with nothing to criticize.

Although this was not the answer Ma Xianhong wanted, he couldn't very well refuse Zhou Fengliu and Wang Ye, since he had invited them to Biyou Village as guests, and he couldn't send them away if they weren't leaving.

Just as Zhou Fengliu and his group returned to Biyou Village, Zhang Chulan and a group of temporary workers from the company also arrived in Guizhou to investigate Chen Duo's whereabouts.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were the last to arrive. By the time they got there, the temporary workers from the other regions had already begun their investigation.

Seeing that no one was speaking in the group chat on the mission phone, Zhang Chulan stroked his chin, then tapped his hands on the phone and began to probe with each sentence.

North China: Everyone, have you all arrived?

A while after he sent the message, the temporary worker from East China replied, "Yes, I've arrived."

Hua Dong: Is nobody talking? It's obvious... no one's interested in the gathering. Well... if it weren't for this mission, I definitely wouldn't want to meet with everyone here. Has everyone read the mission briefing?

Looking at the message sent by the temporary worker in East China, Zhang Chulan briefly recalled the few clues he had about Chen Duo's whereabouts.

After arriving in this place, Chen Duo met an ordinary person named Wan Yucai. Wan Yucai ran a snack shop and didn't have any special background.

Seeing that no one was speaking in the group, the temporary worker from East China sent two more messages.

Hua Dong: Forget it, if no one replies, I'll leave it at that. I'll contact Wan Yucai. You can do whatever you want. If none of you want to show yourselves for this mission, fine... I'll take action.

Just then, the temporary worker from the southwest finally sent a message in the group chat.

Southwest (Qiu'er): No way, Brother Xiao, I'll go with you. I don't know how ugly the other guys are, they don't even show their faces.

Seeing that someone was going to investigate Wan Yucai, Zhang Chulan looked up at Feng Baobao beside him and asked:

"Sister Bao'er? Shall we go take a look too?"

“Yes, that’s fine…” Feng Baobao naturally had no objections.

The two men left the hotel and, following the location provided by the intelligence, found the entrance to the snack shop run by Wan Yucai. Instead of going in directly, they chose to find a secluded corner to lie in wait.

On the professional ethics of a cunning old man...

"Aren't we going in?" Feng Baobao asked.

"We're not going in...we'll just stay here and observe the temporary workers in the other regions."

Zhang Chulan said that the intelligence would definitely be shared in the group by the temporary workers in other regions. Their main purpose in coming here was to see the temporary workers in other regions. After all, they were not sure about the temperament of the temporary workers in other regions, so it was better to be cautious.

A moment later, a middle-aged man who looked very much like the temporary worker from East China appeared in their field of vision. The man adjusted his glasses and was holding a mobile phone, looking at something.

"That must be a temporary worker from East China."

As soon as Zhang Chulan finished speaking, another man with long, golden hair walked over with his hands in his pockets and greeted the temporary worker from East China with a smile.

"The temporary worker from the Southwest... I think his name is Qiu'er?"

Zhang Chulan watched as the two entered Wan Yucai's snack shop. Ten minutes later, the two came out again, and then several messages popped up in the group chat.

Hua Dong: Wan Yucai should be fine. I've already asked him. Chen Duo came here to inquire about an old woman named Mei Jinfeng...

East China: This old woman, Mei Jinfeng, didn't like going out but loved Wan Yucai's mutton rice noodles, so she paid a high price to have Wan Yucai deliver them to her secluded residence... Chen Duo asked Wan Yucai for Mei Jinfeng's address, residence, and a map before leaving...

Hua Dong: We've also obtained this address, so we can continue our in-depth investigation.

This Brother Xiao from East China seems to be a very kind and compassionate person, sharing all the information in the group chat.

Hua Zhong: "Old Xiao... what are you holding in your hand?"

"?"

Looking at the messages in the group chat, Xiao Zizai raised an eyebrow, then glanced around.

"Those old bastards are all hiding in the corner watching us," Qiu'er said, having also seen the message from Huazhong.

"Whatever."

Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses, not paying any attention to the other temporary workers secretly watching them from the shadows. He saw Xiao Zizai type in the group chat:

Hua Dong: "This was left by Chen Duo. She said to give this letter to anyone who inquired about her whereabouts..."

Northwest: "East China, don't open it..."

The temporary worker from the Northwest region had just finished reminding him when Xiao Zizai opened the letter. All he could see was a very ordinary piece of white paper.

It was utterly unremarkable, devoid of any substance.

"?"

Xiao Zizai was somewhat surprised.

Before he could say anything, he heard squeaking sounds behind him. When he turned around, he saw a group of red-eyed rats suddenly appear and pounce on him, tearing at him.

"What is that?!"

Xiao Zizai was quick-witted and nimble-fingered. He subtly channeled his Qi into his left hand, accompanied by a low pressure, and slapped down, killing all the rats that rushed towards him with a single blow.

In an instant, rows of bloodstains appeared neatly on the ground in front of them, which looked rather frightening at first glance.

Seeing this tactic, Qiu'er raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Xiao, your methods... if I'm not mistaken, are they the 'Great Compassion Hand'?"

The Great Compassion Hand, a technique originating from Shaolin, is supposed to focus on suppressing the opponent rather than causing serious injury. However, in the hands of this temporary worker from East China, the technique has taken a different turn.

Frenzied...savage.

Qiu looked at Xiao Zizai and touched his chin.

Is this considered developing one's own style in martial arts techniques?

"Ball, let me tell you something... don't treat me like a normal person... I'm a patient, very ill. When I ask you to stay away from me, don't question me, just obey..."

Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses and said to Qiu'er.

"...ball".

obviously.

They were tricked by Chen Duo; this blank letter was a fuse, and opening it would attract the attack of these strange rats.

Just as Xiao Zizai was eliminating the group of rats, a temporary worker from the Northwest region was sending messages in the group chat.

Northwest: Brother Xiao, you've never dealt with a Gu Master before, have you? Don't touch anything related to the Gu-body Holy Child lightly, be careful, it might be poisonous...

Chapter 145 The Top-Tier Pure Love God of War Gets a Cruel Beating! (Second Update)

"I understand, Fourth Brother, thank you for your hard work..."

While the group chat was in full swing, Zhang Chulan saw the name Mei Jinfeng and called Xu Si to investigate Mei Jinfeng's background.

You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and what you found was quite shocking.

Mei Jinfeng is a member of the Quanxing Sect, and a veteran who joined forty years ago, which makes her quite prestigious.

Zhang Chulan hung up the phone and then shared the information in the group chat.

...

After reading Zhang Chulan's shared information, Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses. He didn't care whether Mei Jinfeng was a Quanxing elder or not; he was more concerned about whether Chen Duo was still at Mei Jinfeng's residence.

I saw him typing a message on his phone with both hands.

Hua Dong: Everyone, Qiu'er and I are going to check out where Mei Jinfeng is. If you'd like, you can come along too. Remember to switch to satellite mode, as there might be no signal on the mountain.
