Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Chapter 127 Zhang Yan in Liupanshui

A few days later, at the North China branch of Nadutong.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao had just returned from the capital when Xu Si summoned them to his office.

Xu Si first praised Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, saying that they had done a wonderful job in the capital.

Although the matter was resolved under Zhang Yan's influence, Zhang Chulan did handle the follow-up matters quite well.

After Zhang Chulan released those people, he paid them each compensation for emotional distress. Since they were in the wrong to begin with, they couldn't really complain.

Having completed such a large order, Xu Si was generous and promised to double his bonus for the month.

After finishing this matter, Xu Si took out a stack of documents and slowly explained the next task.

"Chu Lan, take a look at the information, and I'll explain the mission to you."

"Liao Zhong, the head of the South China region, is dead. It was done by one of his temporary workers, who has now defected."

"The task assigned by the higher-ups this time is for the temporary workers from the other six districts to work together to capture this temporary worker named Chen Duo."

"Life and death are irrelevant..."

As Zhang Chulan flipped through the documents and listened to Xu Si's account, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Fourth Brother, why are there only a bunch of Gu worms in the photos of the scene? Where's the corpse?"

Xu Si looked at the photo Zhang Chulan had taken out; it only showed a bunch of dead insects and a pool of blood.

“We did not find the body, but we detected Liao Zhong’s DNA on the Gu worms. Moreover, the board of directors listened in on the whole process.”

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan got goosebumps and hesitated before speaking.

"No trace of the body? What a deep grudge that must be."

He placed the photo back on the file, looked into Chen Duo's bright green eyes, and continued speaking.

"Fourth Brother, have the temporary workers from different districts ever conducted joint operations before?"

"No, this is the first one, and..."

Xu Si paused for a moment, and then explained to Zhang Chulan in detail how the temporary workers were set up.

It turns out that Xu Si's father had a lot of influence in the company and should have been promoted to the board of directors long ago, but he refused in order to keep Feng Baobao by his side and proposed a temporary worker system.

For decades, Feng Baobao has been receiving a salary without working, and the tasks were all completed by Xu's father.

He wanted to make up for what he owed Feng Baobao in this way. Back then, it was Feng Baobao who helped him become a superhuman by sensing Qi, but he broke his promise and caused Feng Baobao to suffer for many years.

The problem is very difficult. If Feng Baobao refuses the headquarters' request, she will lose her temporary worker status and will no longer be able to enjoy the company's protection.

If she goes, the company's higher-ups are very likely to notice the immortal Feng Baobao, which could lead to her being imprisoned.

"Chu Lan, that's roughly the situation. Xu San and I would like to hear your opinion."

"Hmm~"

Zhang Chulan lit a cigarette, pondered for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to Feng Baobao.

"Sister Bao'er, do you have any thoughts?"

Feng Baobao stared blankly at the group, scratched her nose, and said...

"If you're not going, then leave the company. Fine, I'll go then."

Xu San, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, felt that this was not a good idea and spoke up.

What if the company notices you?

"What else can we do? Run away. Running in a few years is better than running now, right? Am I right?"

Feng Baobao's idea is simple: take it one day at a time.

“Sister Bao’er is right.”

Zhang Chulan laughed heartily, saying that complicated matters often only require the simplest solutions.

"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, is there a limit to the number of people for this mission?"

Xu San grabbed Zhang Chulan by the collar and said to him.

"Even if you don't want to go, I'll force you to go with the baby! Take good care of the baby!"

"Hehe, Third Brother, I got it."

At this moment, Xu Si took out a cell phone from the drawer and handed it to Zhang Chulan.

"This is a modified phone with a super strong signal. The SIM card inside is for mission expenses."

"The six temporary workers have joined the group chat. You can chat with them first."

Zhang Chulan took the phone and scrolled to the group chat. Apart from the temporary worker from East China who used his own photo as his profile picture, everyone else had emoji avatars.

Zhang Chulan clicked on Hua Dong's profile picture and looked at the middle-aged man with glasses, feeling a little awkward.

Looking at the group chat again, it was unusually quiet, with only Hua Dong saying two sentences.

East China: Is anyone there?

East China: Haven't you received your mission yet?

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and then greeted them first.

North China: Hello, big brother from East China, what's your name?

Hua Dong replied instantly: Finally, I see you! Hello, my surname is Xiao, I'm thirty-nine years old, and I enjoy killing...

Then came a red envelope (gift money) upon meeting.

Zhang Chulan reacted quickly and clicked to claim the reward.

"You're too slow, the red envelopes have all been given out."

North China: Who is it? That's my greeting red envelope!

Huadong: Haha, we have both.

Another lucky draw red envelope in East China.

Zhang Chulan opened the message and found that he was the last one to claim it; the amount was 2.22.

Holy crap? You guys were all lurking all along, and a single red envelope brought you all out of hiding.

And what's with this amount? Is it mockery?

Xu San looked at Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, who were chatting with their heads down, and spoke up.

"It seems we're not the only ones worried about our identities being exposed..."

"That's good..."

Xu Si adjusted his glasses and began to speak.

"Chu Lan, intelligence indicates that Chen Duo was last seen in Liupanshui. The plane tickets have been booked, and you will depart tonight."

"There's another rumor: your advisor, Zhang Yan, seems to be there too..."

......

Liupanshui.

An old man led a young man toward a house.

The old man pointed to the tightly closed door in front of him and spoke to the young man.

"Uncle, it's just ahead."

The young man accepted the strange term "elderly" without complaint, glancing down at his phone.

Zhang Zhiwei, an ordinary mortal: Zhang Sheng, have you been picked up yet?

Zhang Sheng was referring to the old man in front of him, one of the Gu children that Zhang Yan saved from the Medicine Immortal Society during the War of Resistance against Japan.

After Zhang Yan and his family rescued the two children, they lived in Qinghe Village. Wei Shufen named them Zhang Xin and Zhang Sheng, symbolizing new life.

Zhang Xin has passed away, and Zhang Sheng is now a veteran figure in Qinghe Village.

Zhang Yan replied to Zhang Zhiwei and then said to Zhang Sheng.

"Tell me about the situation in Qinghe."

Zhang Sheng sighed and began to speak.

“Since the Jia Shen Rebellion, Aunt Wei Shufen has taken the Qinghe Gu Gu and disappeared.”

"My mother-in-law, Aunt Luo Shuning, and Aunt Zhang Shuying searched for a long time and, through their connection with the Qinghe Gu Gu, managed to trap her at a cliff."

"Several people couldn't persuade Aunt Wei to stay, and in the end, she jumped off the cliff with the Gu poison..."

"Aunt Zhang is now in charge of the Qinghe lineage, and she was very happy to hear about you."

As Zhang Sheng spoke, he pushed open the door of the house. The house was very clean inside, and there wasn't much furniture.

Lying unconscious on the bed in the inner room was a middle-aged man with a long scar on his face, wearing a courier company uniform. This man was Liao Zhong.

After arriving at Longhu Mountain, Zhang Yan asked Zhang Zhiwei to find Zhang Sheng and ask him to keep an eye on Chen Duo's situation.

“I put a Gu on him beforehand, but the original Gu of the modern Gu Child Saint Body was too domineering, and all the Gu I brought died.”

"His internal organs, which were contaminated by the Primal Gu, have been removed. Now we can only barely keep him alive."

Zhang Sheng cannot be considered a Gu Child Saint Body, and each Gu Child Saint Body is different. In order to avoid conflict with Chen Duo, he could only use the Gu in advance and then save her afterward.

Zhang Yan, who had been silent until now, nodded, exhaled, and then spoke.

"Zhang Sheng, thank you for your hard work."
