"Mr. Zhao, apart from Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, the other temporary workers are rushing to the vicinity of that abandoned bunker. I believe they will be able to send back news soon."

Zhao Fangxu did not speak.

Huang Boren, who had also walked in, slowly spoke:

"Our people have retrieved Zhang Chulan and the Lu siblings. Zhang Chulan is currently unconscious, but the others are unharmed..."

"Mr. Zhao, should we ask the Lu siblings to stay at the company for a short period of time...?"

His meaning was clear.

That means this matter has risen to a strategic level.

The two siblings from the Lu family must first be controlled by the company.

After Huang Boren finished speaking.

Zhao Fangxu, sitting at his desk, shook his head.

"There's no need. Let them go back."

Huang Boren nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

There is no need to refute the leader's decision.

of course,

He also knew the more specific reasons...

That is, Bai Yuan and several Quanxing disciples were also involved in this explosion.

Moreover, he left first, taking Ma Xianhong with him.

Now that someone has left, there is no longer any special need to control the Lu siblings.

But then,

Huang Boren then asked with some doubt:

"Mr. Zhao, if that's the case, then you must have something else to tell us about so late at night?"

Zhao Fangxu didn't say anything more. He took out a document from the drawer and tapped it on the table with his finger.

"The more thorough the investigation, the better."

"I meant... a reinvestigation!"

The last four words.

The sound echoed in the office.

Bi Youlong and Huang Boren were puzzled.

Then the two of them simultaneously looked at the document on the table, followed by a look of surprise...

The documents on the table belong to a woman.

And they know each other.

Yaoxing Club... Qu Tong.

Bi Youlong, who was in charge of the intelligence department, spoke first.

"Mr. Zhao, this person is the owner of Yaoxing Society. She came to the company not long ago. Should we reinvestigate her?"

Zhao Fangxu nodded and said:

"Yes, conduct a thorough reinvestigation!"

Bi Youlong nodded without changing his expression.

Huang Boren asked with some doubt:

"Mr. Zhao, why are you suddenly investigating this person?"

Sitting in his seat, Zhao Fangxu pushed up his glasses, and under the light, the lenses reflected a dim light.

He spoke slowly in a low voice:

"Bai Yuan just called me..."

"...Bai Yuan?"

Huang Boren and Bi Youlong exchanged a glance.

...

Qu Tong, who was in a secret room, unexpectedly met someone.

The person stood in the shadows and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"You made too much noise today..."

"Also, Zhao Fangxu has made a new move, you need to be prepared in advance..."

Qu Tong pinched the bridge of her nose, looking exhausted.

"As expected, Bai Yuan is really petty... Phew... Despite making such a fuss, I still failed..."

Upon hearing this, the figure in the shadows couldn't help but sigh.

"You really dare to think that way. That person is someone who can't even defeat a 'top master'. If you could really take him down so easily, wouldn't the old Celestial Master who suppressed an era of heroes and great men become a child's play?"

Qu Tong's eyes momentarily lost focus.

"I'd rather the Celestial Master be treated like a child's play..."

"However, this time I've truly uncovered one of Bai Yuan's most important trump cards..."

The figure in the shadows then asked:

Do you think unlicensed doctors will become even stronger?

"And... he only has that one trump card?"

Qu Tong did not answer and fell silent.

Chapter 224 Nephew...I'm your second uncle!

The next day,

Bai Yuan woke up naturally after falling asleep. He only got out of bed when he heard a commotion downstairs.

This place is located in the Central Plains.

It is one of the temporary strongholds of the Quanxing.

After returning from that remote bunker last night, I quickly washed up and went straight to bed.

Oh...

Before that, he had also made a phone call to Zhao Fangxu.

He casually mentioned some things about Qu Tong.

However, he did not elaborate further.

As the head of Nadutong Company, Zhao Fangxu possesses emotional intelligence and wisdom far exceeding those of ordinary people.

If he explains something in too much detail, such an overly intelligent person will become suspicious.

They might feel that he's stirring things up and deliberately trying to distract the company.

In order to achieve the goal of standing behind and reaping the benefits.

In short, I tend to overthink things.

To avoid this,

He spoke ambiguously.

Only this kind of ambiguous information could make Zhao Fangxu start thinking...

In that case, this all-knowing "boss" will definitely start investigating this matter himself.

Bai Yuan knew with his eyes closed that although Zhao Fangxu appeared to be getting along with him, he was probably keeping a close eye on him all along...

And for some reason, this guy has to be on guard against me all the time.

To make such a person believe what you say so easily...

It's hard.

We must let such intelligent people prove their conjectures using their own methods.

but,

He believes in the power of Nadu Tong within the country.

It will be absolutely possible to find out the clues that Qu Tong has left in the shadows over the years.

I dare not say much else.

The situation this woman has orchestrated on the surface is absolutely destined to collapse.

...

A short while later, Bai Yuan came downstairs.

Downstairs at this moment,

A group of Quanxing disciples gathered together, seemingly surrounding one person.

...Ma Xianhong?

After taking two more steps, Bai Yuan could clearly see the people surrounded in the middle.

Ma Xianhong had short gray hair, wore tattered clothes, and had a blank look on his face.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone heard a voice coming from behind them.

So they all turned around.

Tu Junfang was the first to greet them.

"Oh, you're awake?"

A girl in a green floral dress standing to the side of the crowd immediately stood up the moment she saw Bai Yuan appear.

She picked up a small tray from the table on the other side and walked gracefully to Bai Yuan's side.

Her eerie green eyes fixed on the man before her, and she spoke softly:

"This...this is white fungus porridge that Sister Xia He cooked. She said you've been craving lighter flavors lately, so she only added a little rock sugar, it's not too sweet..."

Bai Yuan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Chen Duo speak softly.

Then he looked up and saw Xia He curled up on the sofa.

The woman, who was curled up on the sofa playing on her phone, stiffened involuntarily the moment Bai Yuan looked at her.

The woman didn't look up; her alluring eyes were fixed on the screen of her phone, which wasn't open to any apps.

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly.

"Hey... I didn't expect someone to bring me porridge as soon as I woke up. Such a small act of kindness warms my whole day!"

Chen Duo immediately lowered her head slightly and responded in an even softer voice:

"Then I'll cook porridge for you from now on, okay?"

Bai Yuan picked up the porcelain bowl from the tray with one hand.

Is this a reason for me to refuse?

After listening, Chen Duo's eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled like a crescent moon.

Bai Yuan held the warm porcelain bowl, took a small sip of the congee, and tasted the fine white fungus with a tiny grain of rice wine. The sweetness from the mixture of rice wine and white fungus as it entered his mouth spread slowly along his tongue and lingered between his lips and teeth.

It has a subtle sweetness that is not cloying at all.

It makes you want to smack your lips and savor the taste.
