Under the pale moonlight, a mountain breeze lifted the hem of his mandarin jacket, revealing a golden ruyi scepter gleaming with a lustrous sheen.

Suddenly, Xu Si's words echoed in Feng Baobao's mind: "Things clipped to the lower back are things people don't want."

Without saying a word, he waded through the stream and rushed directly behind Qiu Rang, reaching for the golden Ruyi.

Just as they were about to make contact, Qiu Rang unleashed a thick, golden shield of light around him.

Qiu Rang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at Feng Baobao behind him with a face ashen: "Damn it, what are you going to do!"

He grabbed the golden ruyi scepter, swung it forcefully, and golden energy burst forth, forming a plate-like shape, which he smashed down on Feng Baobao's head.

With a loud bang, the ground shook.

Ripples spread across the surface of the stream.

Good heavens, another magical artifact.

The magical artifacts and treasures that were usually rare were all given a fresh perspective during this journey.

"Let's go."

Chen Duo said to Xia Linyuan.

Xia Linyuan nodded slowly, and the two of them came to Qiu Rang's side.

Feng Baobao, her face covered in blood, stared intently at Qiu Rang's Ruyi.

Qiu Rang cursed, "They're really tough; they didn't get flattened."

Xia Linyuan's lips twitched. I suspect that the other person is actually fine.

"Let's go," Qiu Rang said to Chen Duo and Xia Linyuan.

"Has Wu Kui'er contacted you?" Chen Duo asked.

"If they run back via the mountain path, they'll reach Biyou Village by tomorrow morning."

Qiu Rang answered calmly, then looked at Xia Linyuan and forced a smile, saying loudly, "Welcome to Biyou Village."

Join? Xia Linyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing a hint of deliberate intent on Qiu Rang's face; these words were meant for others to hear. "First, tie me to Biyou Village?"

Xia Linyuan glanced at Feng Baobao and replied, "I'm just going to take a look; I'm not planning to join yet."

Qiu Rang's smile vanished, replaced by a disdainful laugh: "Do as you please."

He got into the car, stepped on the gas, and headed towards Biyou Village's driver.

However, Qiu Rang's shout made Zhang Chulan and the others aware of a new force.

Behind Chen Duo's defection from Biyou Village, another organization was indeed hidden...

.....

The forest was burning, and Wang Zhenqiu dragged his weary body through the flames, the Hun Tian Ling he was carrying slicing through the fire and extinguishing it.

When Wang Zhenqiu returned to the warehouse.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were squatting at the door, eating sunflower seeds and watching him expectantly.

Wang Zhenqiu collapsed, saying, "I can't go on, I'm exhausted. Can you bear to watch this delicate flower wither away?"

Zhang Chulan threw the sunflower seed shells on the ground and nodded: "It's heartless, but you have to hurry, the meeting is just waiting for you."

Wang Zhenqiu glanced at Zhang Chulan, then at Feng Baobao, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Alright, let's go in now."

As Wang Zhenqiu passed by Feng Baobao, she said calmly, "Didn't you just call the fire department? Why are you going through all that trouble?"

Wang Zhenqiu chuckled, "There's nothing I can do, I lost the fight. I have to accept it. The main reason is that forest fires are too dangerous; putting them out early relieves some pressure on the fire department..."

finished,

Upon entering the warehouse, Xiao Zizai and Lao Meng were already seated.

In the center of the empty warehouse, a bonfire was lit.

When Lao Meng saw Wang Zhenqiu, he immediately stood up and said, "Oh, Qiu'er, come and sit down. You must be exhausted."

"It's not hard work." Wang Zhenqiu shrugged, sat on the wooden stake, and stretched vigorously: "Hmm~, how should I put it, everyone? Where should I begin?"

"Chen Duo is part of another organization, and each member possesses magical artifacts and treasures."

"These are things the company has never mentioned."

“I never think highly of those office workers, but I don’t believe for a second that they are completely unaware of this.”

Old Meng asked hesitantly, "Uh, Qiu'er, what's your opinion?"

"We've been tricked."

Wang Zhenqiu lay on the tree trunk, looking somewhat languid.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao walked in just in time to hear this: "Who tricked you?"

Wang Zhenqiu pointed to the ceiling: "Up there."

"Who! Who's up there!"

Zhang Chulan suddenly stood up and shouted.

His affected expression made everyone frown in unison.

No one here is stupid, and those who participated in this mission are even less likely to be stupid. This Feng Baobao already seems quite clueless, and this bonus item is just as bad...

Meetings are a time for everyone to express their opinions, but Zhang Chulan is still pretending to be stupid and playing tricks, making him look like a clown trying to attract attention.

A moment of disgust crossed everyone's mind, and even the kind-hearted Old Meng frowned slightly.

Xiao Zizai said calmly, "Qiu was referring to the board of directors. In fact, it was our East China team that pushed for this mission involving the six temporary workers."

"Ah, why...?"

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened in bewilderment. Why was Huadong pushing for this? What were the benefits of doing so?

“I guess it’s because Chen Duo killed Liao Zhong, and Huadong is afraid the board of directors will use this as an excuse to thoroughly investigate the governance of each region. After all, I heard that Huadong’s mortality rate is extremely high!” Wang Zhenqiu chimed in. He winked at Xiao Zizai: “Brother Xiao can also take this opportunity to work directly with the higher-ups, right?”

Zhang Chulan was taken aback and looked at Xiao Zizai with some nervousness. If Hua Dong really had such plans, it would be really bad for Bao'er.

Xiao Zizai glanced at Zhang Chulan and snorted coldly, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Wang Zhenqiu glanced at Lao Meng: "You want to associate with the higher-ups too, right..."

Old Meng lowered his eyes: "I'm actually all set..."

Zhang Chulan felt a chill run down his spine when he heard about this group's plans.

"Oh no, this group of people... We can only escape with Bao'er... Should we join Quanxing? Xia Linyuan seems to be leaving the company too, should we go and join him?"

"Stop teasing Zhang Chulan, his face has turned pale."

Old Meng's calm voice startled Zhang Chulan, who looked up at the crowd.

Wang Zhenqiu was watching him with great interest, his eyes seemingly piercing through to the heart: "Pupils slightly constricted, your emotions are too intense. Zhang Chulan, you seem quite afraid of Feng Baobao handing over management control to the board of directors..."

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips and remained silent...

Xiao Zizai also shifted his gaze to Wang Zhenqiu.

Observe people's emotions.

Wang Zhenqiu's way of observing is really similar to Xia Ge's (Xiao Yuan's)...

Chapter 189 The Heavenly Master Descends from the Mountain

"Either you have a problem, or she has a problem."

Wang Zhenqiu noticed Zhang Chulan's nervousness, smiled, put his hands behind his head, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I have no interest in you."

"And Huadong did this simply because he wanted to find a comrade-in-arms."

Wang Zhenqiu changed the subject and asked Xiao Zizai, "Brother Xiao, have you asked about the reason why Xia Linyuan left the company?"

"I asked. The person in charge didn't tell me; they just told me to wait for notification and to follow orders."

Xiao Zizai turned his head to look at the moonlight, letting the silvery glow fall on him.

"So, Brother Xiao, will you listen?" Wang Zhenqiu asked softly.

Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses: "It depends on what orders they gave."

"Everyone, I've found out why Xia Linyuan left the company!"

As the phone notification sounded, a message from Erzhuang popped up on the screen.

Zhang Chulan asked, "What's the reason?"

Northeast: "I investigated the information of everyone related to Xia Linyuan. Finally, I found a clue in one of my fans."

"A fanboy?"

Zhang Chulan seized on the key phrase and asked, "Which celebrity are you?"

Northeast: "Oh, no. We met while playing games. He was amazed by my amazing skills and incredible luck in gacha pulls..."

"No, we've completely gone off-topic!"

"I found out that Xia Linyuan is the grandson of Xia Huaisang, a villain from Quanxing, but that's not the point. The point is that I searched again based on Xia Huaisang and found that many forces have been acting around the name Xia Huaisang recently."
