Seeing Yuan Tao's expression, Xia Liuqing grinned, "Oh my, Xia Huaisang has made Yuan so grateful. It seems Xia Huaisang's reputation as a 'wicked woman' is undeserved! Hehe, not as pure as my reputation..."

Yuan Tao stood up, dusted off his backside, and continued, "Yes, yes, your name is pure."

Xia Liuqing chuckled, then stood up as well... with her hands behind her back, she walked unsteadily out of the warehouse...

A few minutes passed.

The warehouse door was kicked open!

Ding Shian dragged the half-dead Quanxing Armor into the warehouse. He looked around, scratched the back of his head in confusion:

"What, nobody's here?"

"anyone there!"

"A person...?"

"Huh..."

The enormous warehouse was completely silent except for the echoes.

"These people, they really aren't punctual..."

Ding Shian sighed, casually tossed the Quanxing Armor aside, and turned to leave...

Chapter 99 Death List: Tian Jinzhong

A black sedan sped along the straight road. Xiao Zizai held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. Although he was driving fast, he was extremely steady.

Dou Le rolled down the car window and slowly lit a cigarette, then started smoking.

"Uncle Dou, you smoke so much, your bones will rot when you die."

Xia Linyuan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Dou Le shook his head indifferently: "Anyway, it will rot in the end. It doesn't matter whether it rots a little earlier or a little later. If it rots a few years earlier, then you'll have avoided taking a few detours."

"But what about you? Aren't you coming back to the company with us? Aren't you going straight to Beijing?"

Hearing Dou Le shake his head regretfully, Xia Linyuan perked up when he heard the second half of Dou Le's sentence: "Yeah, I'm going straight to Beijing. I've already booked the tickets. The sooner I transfer the villa, the sooner I can have peace of mind."

Dou Le's eyes lit up: "What's your villa like?"

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly. "It's a three-story detached villa with a registered area of ​​667 square meters, and a usable area of ​​1500 square meters. It has a separate yard, a basement, and a garage. The basement has been converted into a martial arts training ground..."

"Wow! It's huge!"

Dou Le was shocked. He had worked diligently at the company for half his life and had never been willing to spend so much money on a house.

"how much is it?"

"It'll probably cost around 90 million... and the renovation will cost over 100 million after it's finished."

"Wow~ Feng Zhenghao really went all out."

Dou Le said with emotion.

"If he can establish himself among the Ten, the stock price will rise by several points, and he will be able to make his money back quickly."

Xia Linyuan said calmly.

Dou Le nudged Xiao Zizai: "Old Xiao, your apprentice has made something of himself. Don't you consider leaving your dark little apartment and living with Xiao Yuan?"

Xiao Zizai drove the car, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and said indifferently, "I'm not going. My house is fine."

"Master Xiao, my house has a soundproof room with a turntable, a large sound system, and spotlights..."

Xiao Zizai said calmly, "What do you mean...?"

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "What I mean is... that room is 120 square meters and has good soundproofing, you can dance there, and no matter how loud it is, no one will complain..."

The car jolted suddenly, then returned to normal.

Xiao Zizai calmed himself down and adjusted his glasses with one hand: "I'll think about it."

"Hehe, Mr. Dou is here too. There's a jacuzzi on the second floor and a rooftop terrace on the third floor—perfect for tea, chess, and watching the rain. And then there's Dr. Hua and..."

Xia Linyuan was about to continue speaking when Dou Le interrupted him.

"Okay, I appreciate the thought. I'll come visit you sometime."

Dou chuckled.

Xia Linyuan's smile froze. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Xiao Yuan, the information on the Wang family's cadres that you asked me to look up has been compiled. There's quite a lot... so I didn't send it to your phone. Otherwise, by the time you finished reading it, your eyes would probably be blind."

"I had Gao Zhan and Gao Yuan prepare the paper documents and send them to you. I'll also return your car to you. They're in Jinan now, and it's a three or four-hour drive to Beijing. It's 7 o'clock now, and your flight is at 10 o'clock, so it's perfect... They can even pick you up."

Dou Le quickly recited the time, as if the map was etched into his mind. "Gao Zhan, Gao Yuan, you can trust them, right... after all, you're the one who rescued them from the jaws of death."

Xia Linyuan nodded slightly.

Gao Zhan and Gao Yuan were rescued by Xia Linyuan three years ago from a gang that trafficked children with supernatural abilities, which was under Jin Dayazi's control, when Xia Linyuan was working for the company.

Both brothers are born with extraordinary abilities. One can control electromagnetism, while the other possesses immense strength.

Seeing their talent, they kept them in the company to work under Xia Linyuan.

However, they only worked as assistants during the day; the three of them usually went to school.

"And one more thing..."

Dou Le said with a serious expression, "There is another force within our company."

Xia Linyuan frowned: "Another force?"

"They're the ones who dug up Xiaoyuan's files."

Upon hearing this, even Xiao Zizai, who was driving, couldn't help but glance at Dou Le.

"Old Dou, do you mean the company headquarters, or just our company?"

Dou Le shook his head: "I'm not sure. I only suspect it right now. When Xiao Yuan's information was exposed, I had Dr. Hua investigate. Before any actual operations even started, one of the control room employees committed suicide. And this employee's identity as an ordinary person was that of a hacker..."

After hearing Dou Le's words, Xia Linyuan's expression also became very serious: "Master Dou, this kind of thing cannot be spread outside."

“I know, an organization that can easily steal temporary workers’ files is probably not a good one. It would be best if it were an external organization, but I’m afraid it might be an internal one…” Dou Le expressed his concerns.

Xia Linyuan shook his head slightly: "Master Dou, it can't be an internal organization. If the board of directors had information about the temporary workers, they certainly wouldn't have leaked it. They would never do something so stupid as to shoot themselves in the foot."

Dou Le tilted his head and thought for a moment, then agreed. He looked at Xia Linyuan with satisfaction: "Young people really do have quick minds!"

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "Master Dou, keep this to yourself for now, we'll need it sooner or later."

Dou Le nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

Ding dong.

The cell phone beeps.

Dou Le scrolled through the messages on his phone and laughed, "Xu Si, send me the battle report. There are still some things we need to clean up."

After opening the battle report, Dou Le sighed: "Longhu Mountain has suffered considerable losses. 34 Taoist priests are hospitalized. Tsk tsk tsk. And one has died. It's obvious he was slacking off during his training."

Dou Le opened the list of the dead and his face froze.

"Death list: Tian Jinzhong."

Chapter 100 Funeral

"Tian Jinzhong is dead."

Dou Le said with a solemn expression.

Xiao Zizai and Xia Linyuan raised their eyebrows in unison.

Tian Jinzhong was perfectly fine when the award was presented, so how could he suddenly die? "Was he killed by Quanxing?"

Dou Le sighed: "Xu Si didn't say, so it's probably pretty much true."

Xiao Zizai slowed down the car and turned a corner: "So what? It's not like we killed him. This time, the company's involvement in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was a collaboration between Xu Si and Lu Jin, and their only purpose was to protect Quanxing. They had no obligation to protect Tian Jinzhong."

"Moreover, I heard that Tian Jinzhong's limbs are all broken, his meridians are completely destroyed, and he can only spend his life in a wheelchair and bed, unable to take care of himself."

"Death is also a liberation."

Xia Linyuan thought Xiao Zizai's words made a lot of sense. Tian Jinzhong's death might not have much of an impact, but the Old Celestial Master could. Xia Linyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Tian Jinzhong was raised by the Old Celestial Master, who took care of him spoonful by spoonful. As the current top expert and one of the Ten Elders, the Old Celestial Master's attitude is very important."

"I think we should deal with some of the troublemakers who have been making a ruckus in East China recently. If they cause trouble in East China, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"We can't catch them."

“It’s true that there’s a difference in status and seniority, so it can’t be said.”

"Let's plan ahead."

Dou Le sighed: "Indeed, but the Old Master is a man of principle. He shouldn't do anything impulsive."

"Even if we really want revenge, we should let things cool down a bit. Otherwise, people will think it's Longhu Mountain seeking revenge..."

"If the Celestial Master who leads the Zhengyi sect has taken revenge, and all the other Zhengyi sect members follow suit, then the world will be in chaos."

Xia Linyuan nodded.
