One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

He couldn't accept being left behind after being picked over.

"Chen Qi, do you think you're some kind of fun person in the '527' group? That everyone wants to join?"

Chen Qi looked at Wang Zhenqiu and said in a normal tone, "It's not me, it's you."

"Your characteristics are too unstable, and the trouble you cause will make me very annoyed."

It must be said that Chen Qi predicted the key points that followed in just one sentence.

The temporary workers, who hadn't said a word until then, burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Black Pipe stepped forward and said, "What you said is indeed true. The people in charge in the Northwest are all regretting it now. There are more people in the company looking for Qiu to challenge than outside."

Brother Xiao chuckled, rubbing his forehead. "That's right, people in the company still have to wait in line. I've heard about that kind of record."

The two men each teased Wang Zhenqiu, seemingly as a joke, but it was also a different kind of response.

This matter is plausible.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I know some of you will leak what happened today, but that's alright. The world will eventually find out about this."

After Chen Qi said this, the others present no longer insisted on staying.

After they left, Chen Qi noticed that Lao Meng was still there.

"You still want to see Chen Duo?"

Old Meng, who always appeared honest and simple, now looked solemn. "Yes, I want to see Chen Duo. I want to know why she killed Liao Zhong. I will help her."

Chen Qi didn't even need Chen Duo to appear; he could take care of this nice guy.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi turned his gaze back to the distant mountains. "I can tell you about this. Chen Duo talked to me a lot, including about how you brought her out of the Medicine Immortal Society."

Old Meng froze. "She...she even told you about this."

"It seems she really trusts you. That makes sense, you also have Sister Chen Duo by your side, her name is Duo'er, right?"

"Back then, I only saw Chen Duo at the Medicine Immortal Gathering. If I could have found Duo'er and rescued both of them, the situation would be different now."

Hearing this, Chen Qi remained expressionless and said in a deep voice, "You should be glad that you didn't find out about Duo'er. Chen Duo told me that the person she hates the most is you."

"You brought her into the normal world, but you don't let her become a normal person."

Old Meng: "!!!"

Old Meng was very agitated. "What do you mean by this? Chen Duo wasn't a normal person to begin with, how can she become a normal person?"

"Moreover, the company has taken many measures but still couldn't remove the original Gu poison from her body. It's already quite an achievement that she was able to sense it!"

Seeing Lao Meng's excited expression, Chen Qi knew that he was feeling guilty.

Perhaps he felt guilty all along, but didn't want to admit it.

"What is a normal person? Someone who has been arranged step by step by you, from a temporary worker in the Medicine Fairy Society to a worker in the company, has always been guarded and imprisoned, and forced to do things."

"What's the difference between her staying at the Medicine Fairy Association and staying at the company?"

Chen Qi approached step by step, his words piercing the heart...

"There is a difference, the difference is that you are more cruel than the Medicine Immortal Society. At least the Medicine Immortal Society can give Chen Duo a sense of belonging, and she is surrounded by the same kind of people."

"You brought her into the normal world, but you didn't treat her like a human being, making her feel like an alien in this world!"

The oddball at the end of the sentence spoke with a fierce tone.

Chen Qi was also furious. These people had turned what could have been a lovely child into someone who looked like he was ready to die.

How much discrimination must one endure before truly realizing that they don't belong in this world?

How could anyone not want to enjoy such a wonderful world?

Chen Qi still remembers how happy Duo'er was when she went to school, shopping, and playing.

Old Meng's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, he lowered his head.

"You're right, I'm the one who wronged Chen Duo."

“I didn’t consider her future. I brought her to the company and then handed her over to Liao Zhong. I haven’t cared about her since.”

At this point, Old Meng looked up again; he still didn't understand. 3.9

"But this is not the reason why she killed Liao Zhong, or perhaps it was her predicament."

No matter how difficult the situation, she couldn't kill Liao Zhong, who was so kind to her!

This is what Lao Meng doesn't understand; he wants a reason, he wants an answer.

Chen Qi stared intently at him and said in a deep voice, "Chen Duo never wanted to kill Liao Zhong. She just wanted a choice, a choice of her own."

"When we met that day, Chen Duo had already made her choice; she chose to die."

Old Meng was stunned.

He felt he couldn't understand what Chen Qi was saying.

Chapter 145 Old Meng's Mistake

"What did you say? Chen Duo chose to die? How is that possible? How could..."

Old Meng is like someone trapped in his own thoughts, unwilling to believe what others say.

Chen Qi frowned at her stubbornness.

If it weren't for appreciating Lao Meng's methods, Chen Qi really wouldn't have wanted to enlighten this elderly man.

Old Meng's methods may seem like those of a beast tamer, but in reality, they can evolve to the point where he can control microorganisms and microparticles, which are essentially every cell in the body.

Such an ability is terrifying!

If Chen Qi were to acquire this ability, he could easily alter the genes of ordinary people and even those with supernatural abilities.

With Ma Xianhong's help, it will be very easy to transform ordinary superhumans into performers who can inherit the bloodline!

But it's still difficult now.

It would be very difficult to persuade Lao Meng to teach him his methods.

Chen Duo will only be a breakthrough point.

But he wasn't the kind of person who could make Lao Meng make up his mind.

"To tell you the truth, Chen Duo had long realized that she was different from everyone else in the world. She couldn't accept herself like that, so she chose to die."

"But the company doesn't give her a choice, and Liao Zhong, who seems to be good to her, also doesn't give her a choice."

"At the very last moment, Liao Zhong would rather die than let Chen Duo follow his choice, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Lao Meng finally understood.

In fact, he had long been aware of these signs, but he simply refused to believe them.

"I understand, I understand."

“You’re right, the best source is me, I understand everything.”

Seeing Lao Meng with his head down, gradually sinking into self-doubt.

Chen Qi sighed, "Old Meng, this is not your fault. Your intentions were good, and you and Liao Zhong had good intentions towards Chen Duo. It's just that the company didn't keep up in the later stages and didn't pay attention to the changes in Chen Duo."

"So the two of you alone can't change much, understand?"

Old Meng froze, staring blankly at Chen Qi, stammering for a long time without being able to say anything.

Has the company always harbored prejudice against Chen Duo?

Realizing this, Lao Meng recalled the past. The company had disagreed with keeping Chen Duo from the beginning, and the board of directors later refused to allow her to join the temporary staff.

Old Meng, who had always had unwavering faith in the company, unusually expressed his doubts.

Noticing this, Chen Qi knew that it was about time.

Continuing further would seem deliberate.

"If you still want to see Chen Duo, I can take you. She's doing well now with my help."

One sentence was enough to make Old Meng raise his head, "I...can I go with you to see it?"

He already knew he was wrong, but he still wanted to see Chen Duo.

"Okay, come with me."

It's a ten-minute walk from the woods to the cabin.

Old Meng thought a lot about this journey. He had a wife and children, and originally he didn't need to worry about this matter and could have lived a peaceful life.

But he never expected that his momentary leniency would cause such great harm to a child, leaving him without the courage to live.

From this perspective, Liao Zhong's death cannot be entirely blamed on Chen Duo.

They never cared about Chen Duo's thoughts, not even giving her the most basic choice that a human being should have.

"Sister, the kite,"

A sudden soft call snapped Old Meng out of his reverie.

Chen Qi had stopped and was quietly watching in the distance, where Duo'er and Chen Duo were holding the kite string and gazing at the kite high above.

Duo'er often played with Chen Qi and had long since given up on the matter.

But the joy on Chen Duo's face was genuine, heartfelt elation.

Old Meng was stunned and stood there for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

From the moment he met Chen Duo, he never saw the child smile, let alone a genuine smile.

"and many more!"

Old Meng's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Chen Qi in disbelief, "The thing on Chen Duo—"

He can manipulate microorganisms, so he can naturally sense the changes in Chen Duo.

How come the primal Gu poison that was spreading before can no longer be felt at all now?

Chen Qi remained calm and said indifferently, "I have said that I have the ability to remove the original Gu poison from her body and make her truly become a normal person."

"Then what is the Gu poison that can still be faintly seen on her body?" Old Meng asked.

Chen Qi said, "This is a technique I taught her. The Primal Gu Poison is a pretty good Gu poison that the Medicine Immortal Society has researched."

"We can take the essence and discard the dross, but it will not endanger Chen Duo's life."

The wind rustled through the leaves, and as autumn approached, leaves began to fall. Some kites in the sky were also blown away.

"Brother Qi?"

Duo'er inadvertently turned around and saw the two people under the tree.

Chen Duo also stopped what she was doing, but her gaze fell on Lao Meng, and the joy in her eyes gradually faded.

Old Meng: "..."

Old Meng has always been meticulous, so he naturally noticed these subtle changes.

He gradually came to terms with what Chen Qi had said; Chen Qi hadn't lied to him. It turned out that he really was the one who dragged Chen Duo into hell.

They made her endure what they considered a good thing, without considering whether it was good or bad for Chen Duo.

Thinking like that, he's so selfish.

"Why are you here?"

Chapter 146 The Thoughts of Temporary Workers

When Chen Duo saw Lao Meng, she asked him a question, her tone as calm as ever.

He showed none of the joy and excitement he had just displayed; it seemed that seeing Lao Meng was something he couldn't help but be unhappy about.

"Chen Duo, can we talk?"

Old Meng spoke with a hint of pleading, like a sinner yearning for forgiveness.

Upon hearing this, Chen Duo looked at Chen Qi, seeking his opinion.
