Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 75 The Little Fox Returns

This is destined to be an extraordinary long night.

All TV channels were occupied by the same explosive news - Mr. Bai Kou, head of the life assessment department of Universal Company, left us forever.

The vicious criminal organization Wangxu tampered with the aircraft, causing a horrific accident.

Some channels broadcast the life story of Bai Kou, who had been fascinated by the research of life science projects since childhood and had more than fifty patents in this field in the decades since he joined the company; the news channel Fuling expressed deep condolences to Mr. Bai Kou on behalf of Universal Company and strongly condemned the terrorists who planned the accident; all clues pointed to Ye Huo and a newspaper reporter named Liu.

After this incident, the bounty on the two men exceeded one billion shells, making them the most wanted criminals in this star zone. Any citizen who provides clues to the company will receive a reward of no less than 10 shells.

Under normal circumstances, Jiu Yue would be delighted to see the news on TV. However, at this moment, she was sitting at the table, staring blankly at a piece of white paper.

It had been more than two hours since she got home, but she hadn't uttered a single word in the self-criticism she wanted to write.

A few minutes ago, Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping sent her text messages to let her know they were safe. Under the influence of memory reconstruction, they could not remember Ye Huo's identity. They only remembered that when they rushed to the factory, the bodies of the guards were everywhere.

What happened today also had a big impact on them, and they need to stay at home to recuperate for a while.

Jiu Yue patted her cheeks. Even if she stayed here for a few more hours, there would be no progress. Letters and words were ultimately a means of escaping reality. She made up her mind, stood up and walked towards Duan Mingyuan's room.

I knocked on the door gently, but there was no response from the bedroom.

Jiu Yue pushed the door open a crack. There was no light on inside and the curtains were drawn. The whole room was shrouded in pitch darkness.

"what's up?"

A familiar voice came from the bed.

"it's me."

Jiu Yue clenched her fists. She completely gave up the idea of ​​running away. She groped her way to the computer desk in the dark and moved the chair to the bedside. Duan Mingyuan stood up, turned on the desk lamp on the bedside table, and sat up straight.

She mustered up her courage and said, "Mr. Mingyuan, I want to admit my mistake. I shouldn't have kept it from you before."

"This is human nature, and even if Night Hazard and Forgotten Void didn't exist, the company would still find me."

Duan Mingyuan said calmly, "It's just that if you told me this in advance, I could make arrangements earlier and have a better chance of finding out the whereabouts of your parents. Besides, there's no need for you to pretend to like me."

Yunlong City is the city where Duan Mingyuan lives, and here is everything he is familiar with.

Therefore, when he learned that large-scale human trafficking was being carried out here, he naturally would not sit idly by.

When leaving the factory, he made sure to destroy all the facilities. Although it was not a long-term solution, the company's human trafficking network in Yunlong City would be completely paralyzed for a long time to come.

After Bai Kou's death, the position of the head of the life assessment department will become vacant. The company will fight over it and will not have the time to take care of the problems in Yunlong City for the time being.

Although Fuling blamed Wangxu for the plane crash at the press conference, any discerning person could see that it was an insider in the company who was responsible. Based on the existing clues, they would probably spend a lot of time on internal investigation into the missing Xifeng and the insider in the company who caused the plane crash.

This thorough investigation is doomed to failure because it is based on a false foundation from the very beginning.

"I'll help you even if you don't say so."

But for some reason, Duan Mingyuan felt a little melancholy.

People can be given the wrong names, but they will never be given the wrong nicknames. There is a reason why he has been rated as the least suitable love partner in the department for four consecutive years.

When he thought about how he actually believed it and even seriously considered his future plans, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the quilt. That should be one of the top three embarrassing moments in his life.

"That is true."

Jiu Yue spoke eagerly, "I told a lot of lies, but what happened that day was all true! I was planning to confess to you after Bai Kou's incident was over."

However, both she and Wangxu had seriously overestimated themselves, thinking that they could easily kidnap the company executives with their strength. If Mr. Mingyuan had not been present, she would probably have to agree to the other party's request, at the cost of her freedom, leave the city, and be sent to the unknown heaven.

"Besides, I remember now!" She thought that her affection for Mr. Ming Yuan was love at first sight, but it was not until Mr. Ming Yuan activated the barrier and reconstructed everyone's memory that Jiu Yue finally understood where that inexplicable affection came from. "You have done this before! Activate the barrier and reconstruct everyone's memory, making them believe that the hovercraft broke down and crashed into the company building!"

Duan Mingyuan remained silent.

He realized at that time that he and the company were not compatible. Even though the company promised him a bright future, there were some things that could not be done just by turning a blind eye.

"That's why I can't remember it!"

Jiu Yue always felt that she had met Duan Mingyuan, but whenever she thought about it carefully, her past memories turned into a mist. She was like a lost person in the fog, unable to find a definite answer.

Although she still couldn't remember anything, she was sure that the hazy figure in her memory was Mr. Mingyuan.

"You saved me from the company, and you treated me to fried chicken legs."

It was from that moment on that chicken became her favorite food and she always felt warm from it.

When Jiu Yue mentioned fried chicken legs, Duan Mingyuan also recalled what happened that night.

One afternoon, he walked into the hamburger shop near the school as usual, and a hover car carrying uninvited guests suddenly stopped at the door of the hamburger shop.

As early as his teenage years, the company's human trafficking industry had already begun to take shape. The company at that time took a fancy to his abilities and recruited him to join the security department, responsible for ensuring the safety of goods during transportation.

He originally thought that they were gold, silver, jewelry or rare resources, but when the goods were handed over to them, he found that what were packed into the boxes were monsters and even unconscious humans.

When he raised his objection, the head of the security department advised him that "some things can be solved by turning a blind eye", which was exactly the same as Bai Kou's promise.

Twenty or thirty years later, he can enjoy the company's benefits, leave this planet and live in "heaven". By then, the sins and guilt here will no longer have anything to do with him.

Duan Mingyuan, who was still a passionate young man at the time, decided to follow the voice of his heart.

Every human trafficker is found and punished.

He vaguely remembered that there was a little fox among the cargo. It did not run away with the other monsters, but walked towards him tremblingly.

She tilted her head back and looked at him with her watery eyes.

He thought the little fox must be starving, and he happened to have some fried chicken legs in his schoolbag that he had not finished eating.

"Those people said they knew the whereabouts of my parents and tricked me into selling me to the company."

September said.

At that time, she had not yet mastered the skills of a fox, so she was locked up with other trapped animals.

Just when she was most confused and helpless, a hero really appeared.

"Mr. Mingyuan, you asked me the reason the other day."

Jiu Yue looked at the person in front of him seriously, "The little fox has come to repay his gratitude."

To repay a favor.

Duan Mingyuan suddenly relaxed, leaning against the pillow and staring at the ceiling.

That was the relief that the mystery in my heart was finally solved.

The unfinished business of my youth has finally come to an end.

The company's senior executives died, and the largest human trafficking gang in Yunlong City was destroyed.

At least today, the people and monsters in this city can sleep well.
