Dou Le's serious expression cast a shadow over Xu Si's heart.

"Be prepared, Lao Liao's identity is extraordinary. This incident might lead the company to reform its temporary worker system... or... abolish it altogether..."

Xu Si took the cigarette out of his mouth without anyone noticing: "That Xia Linyuan... oh no, Brother Dou, do you really feel like it's come to that?"

Dou Le glanced at Xu Si slightly: "Xia Linyuan is just a child. As for how far things will go, I can't say for sure. Whatever decision headquarters makes, I will support it unconditionally..."

Xu Si's lips twitched. Playing coy, huh? Pretending to be innocent, huh? Xu Si said bluntly, "I'm not as wise as you! Let me be frank with you, I absolutely will not use temporary workers!! Without them, things will be too restrictive!"

"Sigh, it was your father who suggested the temporary workers. I have always admired him. He has a distinguished record of military achievements. He could have been promoted to headquarters and enjoyed a comfortable retirement long ago, but he has always been fighting on the front line."

Now that you mention it, it's definitely inconvenient without a temporary worker. However, for the sake of the company's efficiency, we can't dismiss this temporary worker...

Dou Le pretended to be deep in thought.

Do you have any ideas?

Xu Si asked Dou Le.

Dou Le shook his head slightly: "I can't do anything about it alone, since you're so adamant..."

Dou Le paused for a moment, then suddenly asked as if he had just remembered something, "It's rare for us regional leaders to get together like this, isn't it? Would you like to have a get-together?"

"It's not convenient for me to draw the limelight here... so Xu Si..."

(Someone at company headquarters passed a message to Dou Le, who is calling a meeting of the heads of departments. If headquarters finds out, it will increase the chances of Dou Le's insider being exposed. It will also cause dissatisfaction among the insiders. Therefore, Xu Si needs to organize a meeting of all the heads of departments...)

Xu Si immediately understood and said, "Okay, I'll put in a good word for the others. But I'm not as senior as you, Brother Dou, so you'll have to give me a lot of advice..."

"That's easy to say..." (Xu Si, being relatively inexperienced, subtly hinted at Dou Le's attitude by suggesting a gathering, using Dou Le's connections as leverage. Dou Le agreed.)

Chapter 98 A group of unpunctual people.

Abandoned warehouse.

It was covered in dust, and cobwebs lay quietly in the corner.

Seven or eight people stood in the center of the warehouse; they had made a name for themselves throughout the entire sect. Hence, they were here.

Boom.

The iron gate of the abandoned warehouse rattled. Everyone in the Quanxing sect looked over.

A short, small Taoist priest walked in: "Everyone... is everyone here?"

The young Taoist priest spoke without any politeness.

Facing the ferocious and menacing Quanxing demon, he actually spoke in a condescending tone.

"Hehehe, everyone who could come has come, and those who didn't come just didn't want to."

Xia Liuqing walked out of the crowd with her hands behind her back, her dark pupils showing no emotion.

The young Taoist priest sighed softly, "Brother Xia, what about you over there?"

Xia Liuqing chuckled: "Even Baron couldn't handle that girl, let alone me."

"That foreigner didn't even look at us, he left..."

"What a pity, Master Yuan, what about you?"

The young Taoist priest then asked Yuan Tao.

Yuan Tao, disheveled and with a grim expression, heard the young Taoist's words and immediately roared, "Gong Qing, are you trying to humiliate me? Which eye of yours saw that I looked like I had succeeded!"

"But you...you should know what will happen if you fail..."

"Little Su..."

Yuan Tao said indifferently, and Su Jing directly took out a paper figure and squeezed it.

Gong Qing suddenly felt as if a giant hand was squeezing his heart and bones. Cold sweat streamed down his face as he raised his hand and shouted, "Stop...stop squeezing!"

Su Jing was slightly taken aback and let go of his hand.

Gong Qing breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stepped forward. He gently took the paper figure from Su Jing's hand, tore it in half from head to toe, and let it float to the ground: "I succeeded..."

“I have obtained Tian Jinzhong’s memories. Based on his reaction at the time, Tian Jinzhong does indeed know some of the things that happened back then.”

As soon as Gong Qing finished speaking, the bespectacled boy with a mushroom haircut behind him flicked his hand and revealed a blue ball of light.

Xia Liuqing's eyes widened slightly, she grinned, and her withered face began to move.

"Lü Liang, is this Tian Jinzhong's memory? What do you think?"

Lu Liang shook his head slightly: "Brother Xia, you think too highly of me. Although I have the ability to read and extract other people's memories, this contains Tian Jinzhong's entire life's memories. It will take time to decipher the key information..."

"Hehehe, that's good. After all these years, there's still a tiny clue, hahaha."

Xia Liuqing suddenly burst into laughter. His unrestrained laughter echoed through the dark, dilapidated warehouse.

No one present interrupted Xia Liuqing.

Everyone knew about Xia Liuqing's past. Therefore, they all waited quietly.

After venting her emotions, Xia Liuqing then said to Gong Qing:

“Acting Sect Leader, now that you have succeeded, you are entitled to another opportunity to give us orders, as per our original agreement.”

Gong Qing nodded: "In that case, I'll be issuing my next instructions. Please relay them..."

"Wait, wait... now?"

Yuan Tao couldn't believe her ears: "They just caused trouble at the Celestial Master's Mansion, and now they're causing trouble again. Are they crazy?! Do they know how many people were injured or killed this time?"

Gong Qing ignored Yuan Tao's curses. He simply slowly pulled down his hat, loosened his Taoist bun, and let his long-grown hair fall loose. At that moment, the young Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain of Quanxing completely disappeared, replaced by the sect leader who commanded all the demons of Quanxing, emanating a cold aura: "Notify everyone in Quanxing... to wear mourning for seven days and pay respects to Elder Tian... Is this order inappropriate?"

Yuan Tao was speechless. Such immense power, and all he did was...?

"If anyone fails to do this, please kill him for me..."

"Hehehe, as the sect leader commands."

Xia Liuqing readily accepted the order, then said to Yuan Tao, "Little Yuan, do you want to disobey?... I can act at any time..."

Seeing Xia Liuqing speak up for Gong Qing, Yuan Tao also fell silent. "Wearing mourning clothes for... Tian Jinzhong... Heh..."

"Next, I have a piece of advice for everyone: memory deciphering takes time, so I hope you will refrain from causing trouble and stay out of the way during this period..."

After Gong Qing finished speaking, he disappeared from everyone's sight with a few quick movements, facing the rising sun.

Seeing this, the others also left.

Xia Liuqing walked to the door, looked up at the rising sun, and sighed softly, "Youth is truly wonderful..."

Just as he was about to leave, Yuan Tao called out to him, "Brother Xia, stay a moment, I have something I want to ask you..."

Xia Liuqing turned around and saw Yuan Tao carrying down a sandbag and throwing it in front of Xia Liuqing, gesturing for Xia Liuqing to sit down.

Xia Liuqing's interest was piqued; this Xiao Yuan wanted to have a good chat with me. Turning around, she walked back to the warehouse and smiled, "Xiao Yuan, what's on your mind..."

Yuan Tao moved another seat and sat opposite Xia Liuqing, staring into Xia Liuqing's eyes, and said, word by word, "Old Xia, do you know Xia Linyuan?"

Xia Liuqing was taken aback and then chuckled, "Who is Xia Linyuan...?"

Seeing this, Yuan Tao said unwillingly, "Xia Linyuan knows the Godhood Mask..."

Seeing that Xia Liuqing only nodded without any expression of shock, he said excitedly, "He's playing a ghost, just like Xia Huaisang back then..."

Seeing that Yuan Tao was somewhat agitated, Xia Liuqing calmed down and slowly said...

"Gao Ning did mention a young man surnamed Xia to me. What, are you also going to say that he is a descendant of Xia Huaisang?"

How could you possibly know?

"It's fine for Gao Ning to have this idea. He's young and joined the company a little later."

"But you're different. Anyone who's been in the Quanxing for decades knows that we haven't seen each other since Xia Huaisang fought that battle in western Hunan..."

"No, that's not right. We've met before. Hehehe."

"Wugensheng first betrayed Quanxing and got involved with those thirty-five people, and was hunted down by the people of the world."

"Xia Huaisang then used the pretext of storming the Celestial Master's Mansion to appear in the public eye, stealing and robbing techniques, thus making enemies of most of the world of supernatural beings."

Regardless of whether they were from reputable sects or were members of the Quanxing demonic sect, they offended everyone they could, and in the end, they went berserk! They almost killed me too..."

Xia Liuqing smiled, as if she weren't the one who almost got killed, pointing to her crown chakra: "I remember the Soul-Slaying Whip stopped right there on my crown chakra... You should understand what the crown chakra is and what the Soul-Slaying Whip is... If Jin Feng hadn't stopped him, I would have been dead long ago..."

"So, descendants of Xia Huaisang, don't ask me... I know nothing..."

"But if you want to touch him now... you'd better ask me first..."

Yuan Tao muttered, "Xia Huaisang almost killed you, don't you hate him?"

Xia Liuqing smiled slightly:

"Hate? Hate what?"

"So much time has passed, and all resentment has been worn away."

"We're still family, blood is thicker than water... Besides, I'm still alive..."

"I was easily fooled by Xia Huaisang when I was a kid. If Xia Linyuan really is his descendant, while he's dead and while I'm still alive, we should settle this score with his grandson..."

Yuan Tao pursed her lips: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Xia Linyuan. Xia Huaisang did save my father, and he is also... my benefactor."
