Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

'You just said in front of us that killing him was a piece of cake!'

Fu Rong was internally screaming: 'Now you're turning around and blaming it on his poor health? Do you really think we're fools?!'

She was lost in her inner monologue, unaware of the mocking look Xingliu cast at her.

When she finally looked up and met Xingliu's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, her heart started racing.

Xingliu spoke calmly, "Your name is Fu Rong, right?"

Fu Rong nodded, her movements somewhat stiff, her heart filled with unease and doubt, wondering how Xing Liu knew her.

Then, she heard those words that seemed to come from hell: "ICBC 150,000, CMB 100,000, Lu Zhong Bank 200,000, and go all out with 30,000..."

Every word Xingliu uttered struck Fu Rong's heart like a heavy hammer.

She felt as if her world had collapsed in an instant.

She originally thought that by escaping to Biyou Village, she could escape the shadows of the past and start a new life.

However, now, all her secrets have been easily exposed by Xingliu.

She felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Stop reading it! Stop reading it! I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Unable to bear the torment any longer, Fu Rong cried out for mercy.

Her voice was filled with pleading and despair.

She couldn't imagine how she would face the people present if Xingliu continued to reveal her secrets, especially Harichagai, who was also from Biyou Village.

Fortunately, Xingliu did not intend to delve into the matter and stopped talking after hearing Fu Rong's plea.

This put Fu Rong at ease a little, since she knew that Xing Liu had enough information to uncover her painful past.

The playful glint in Xingliu's eyes confirmed her guess.

If Xingliu were to reveal her failed romantic relationships to the public, she would probably feel utterly ashamed.

At this moment, Chen Duo curiously approached Xing Liu, looking at him with eyes full of curiosity, clearly eager to know the secret behind it all.

This made Fu Rong's heart jump into her throat again.

However, under Fu Rong's anxious gaze, Xing Liu began to tell Chen Duo about Fu Rong's romantic history.

"She's had several relationships, and all of them were with jerks."

"That's one thing, after all, everyone has bad luck sometimes, but she's a hopeless romantic."

"Not only did she not ask for anything, but she was also swindled out of a lot of money by those men. What I just read was all about her debts."

Chen Duo seemed somewhat bewildered after hearing this, because she did not yet understand the complex emotion of love, and simply felt that Fu Rong seemed to have been deceived.

At the same time, Harichagai looked at Fu Rong with an expression that said, "I didn't expect you to be such a love-struck fool."

This made Fu Rong feel so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She could only bury her head in her arms, looking like an elderly person on the subway with their phone.

After this playful banter, the matter came to an end.

Since Qu Tong eliminated all the extra people when she kidnapped Ma Hongxian in the original novel, Xingliu did not intend to involve Fu Rong and the others.

After all, they had not done anything wrong, nor had they offended him, so there was no need to let them die in vain.

So, after letting them go, Xingliu took Chen Duo and left.

At the same time, Chen Duo also relayed Ma Hongxian's news back to the company.

In fact, the company had known about Ma Hongxian's existence for a long time, but had never interfered.

It's just that Qu Tong planted an inside agent among the company's senior management, so if it weren't for the unexpected factor of Chen Duo, it wouldn't have been possible.

Ma Hongxian's self-cultivation furnace will likely continue indefinitely until its completion without any hindrance.

Chapter 235 Getting Rid of the Company

Now, after learning about the effects of the Body-Sculpting Furnace, the company reacted quickly and sent someone to pick up Ma Hongxian that same day.

After Ma Hongxian was taken away, one person remained: Liao Zhong.

Liao Zhong's gaze was fixed on Chen Duo, especially after he discovered that the bomb on Chen Duo had disappeared, his worries surged into his heart like a tide.

He didn't know that Chen Duo's health had been cured; he only knew that the company would never allow Chen Duo to be left to her own devices.

In his view, the bomb was just one of the company's methods of controlling Chen Duo, but by no means the only one.

Chen Duo's act of defusing the bomb without authorization has undoubtedly crossed the company's bottom line and could very well have fatal consequences.

So, with a pleading tone, he said to Chen Duo, "Chen Duo, come back with me, stop being so willful."

However, Chen Duo merely glanced at him indifferently and said firmly:

"Uncle Liao, I'm not going back. I've found the path I want to take, and whether it's good or bad, I want to walk it on my own."

Upon hearing these words, Liao Zhong's anger was instantly ignited.

At this moment, the voice coming through the earpiece brought his emotions to a peak: "Liao Zhong, Sheng Tong is no longer stable. Come back, we will handle it."

This was a company order, but it was also the outcome he least wanted to hear.

His expression changed drastically, and he anxiously pressed the earpiece, saying, "Wait a little longer, I'll knock her out and take her back."

As he spoke, he walked towards Chen Duo, intending to forcibly knock her unconscious and take her away.

However, just as he was about to touch Chen Duo, Xing Liu suddenly intervened and stopped him.

Xingliu's voice was icy: "Do you really think I don't exist? Leave here. I'll handle Chen Duo's matter; your company doesn't need to interfere."

Liao Zhong looked at the starry sky before him, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Xingliu was quite powerful, but with Chen Duo's safety at stake, he had already lost his mind.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Get out of here, kid! Chen Duo's situation isn't as simple as you think. If she leaves the company, she'll die!"

Xingliu looked at Liao Zhong's anxious appearance and found it somewhat amusing.

However, he was more puzzled.

As a senior executive of the company, how could Xu Xiang not report his situation to the company?

However, he soon understood the reason.

He knows too much about Feng Baobao. If Xu Xiang informs the company of his information, Feng Baobao will likely be exposed.

Therefore, Xu Xiang chose to help him cover it up.

Without Xu Xiang's notification, the company's understanding of Xing Liu was limited to his ability to be somewhat capable and his ruthlessness.

This was clearly not enough to make such a behemoth as the company wary of him.

After realizing this, Xingliu couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.

He never expected that keeping a low profile would have such a downside.

With a thought, he instantly captured all the high-ranking officials who were listening in via the network.

These people suddenly appeared here, their faces filled with bewilderment.

However, they are, after all, senior executives of the company, and their mental fortitude is beyond that of ordinary people.

The moment they saw Chen Duo and Liao Zhong, they understood what had happened.

Therefore, their gazes toward Xingliu suddenly became filled with apprehension.

They knew that Xingliu's strength far exceeded their expectations, given how easily they had managed to extract them from the company.

The executives exchanged glances, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, stepped forward.

He tried to keep his voice calm: "Mr. Xingliu, we mean no offense. But Chen Duo's situation is indeed special. She is an important part of our company, and we cannot let her leave like this."

Xingliu looked at them, a cold smile playing on her lips: "An important component? Do you consider her a human being? Or just a tool to be manipulated at will?"

The leading executive was momentarily speechless at Xingliu's words, but he quickly regained his composure:

“We do have our own considerations and actions, but please believe that we are doing it for Chen Duo’s own good.”

"For her own good?" Xingliu laughed:

"What a high-sounding reason. Then let me ask you, have you considered Chen Duo's own feelings? What does she want? What does she want to do? Have you ever cared?"

A series of questions left the top management speechless.

They truly didn't consider Chen Duo's feelings; they only cared about the instability of Chen Duo as a child saint.

Seeing their silence, Xingliu continued, "From today onwards, I will take over Chen Duo's freedom. If your company dares to harass her again, don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, Xingliu turned to Chen Duo and said, "Chen Duo, come with me. I will help you find what you really want, that sky that belongs only to you."

Chen Duo met Xing Liu's gaze and saw her own reflection in those eyes. A strange feeling welled up in her heart, like a long-lost warmth, or like hope for the future.

She nodded gently, her voice soft yet firm: "Okay."

Then, Xingliu turned and left with Chen Duo.

Liao Zhong and the company's executives stood frozen in place, watching the two disappear into the horizon, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside them.

They understood that what they had lost this time was not only control over Chen Duo, but also a serious challenge to the order and authority that the company had long maintained.

The top leader took a deep breath, trying to calm his shock.

He turned to look at Liao Zhong and found that even this usually calm and capable subordinate was showing a rare moment of loss of composure.

He knew that this incident was probably a heavier blow to Liao Zhong than to anyone else, after all, he had personally brought Chen Duo into the company and watched her grow into who she is today.

"Liao Zhong, we..." The leading executive had just started to speak when Liao Zhong waved his hand to interrupt him.

A complex emotion flashed in Liao Zhong's eyes. He touched his face, seemingly trying to hide his disappointment.

He pretended to be disappointed and said, "Don't say anything more, let's go back first."

However, deep down, he felt a sense of relief that Chen Duo was able to break free from the company's control.

He understood that if Chen Duo couldn't leave the company, she would eventually face a tragic end.

Therefore, he would prefer to see Chen Duo find her own future with Xing Liu's help.

Faced with Liao Zhong's disappointment and the silence of the other senior executives, the group looked at each other speechlessly and could only nod in agreement.
