Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"Old Zhou... I'm sorry, I didn't expect to involve you." Wang Ye apologized.

"It has nothing to do with you. This is just a grudge between that old man Wang Ai and me." Zhou Fengliu paused for a moment before continuing:

"If you really feel bad about it, send me a red envelope of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan... then my efforts won't have been in vain."

...

P.S.: I'm begging for small gifts from all my godfathers, sob sob~

Chapter 122 Zhao Fangxu: Did you do it on purpose, or accidentally?! (First Update)

"Ten thousand or eighty thousand? Isn't that disrespecting my brother Wang? You should at least give me a few hundred or a few thousand..." Zhang Chulan took over the conversation and looked at Wang Ye to say.

"?" Wang Ye raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"So you two are attacking the landlord here? Even the landlord doesn't have that much surplus grain..."

"Let's think about Lao Zhou first. Lao Zhou, how about I buy you a ticket and you go out and hide for a while?"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhou Fengliu shook his head: "We should take responsibility for our own actions, why are we hiding?"

...

After a moment.

As several cars pulled up at the entrance of the Wang family compound, the headquarters of Nadutong immediately blocked the outside world from hearing the news after receiving Zhou Fengliu's call, and sent many employees to the Wang family compound to seal off the scene.

Upon witnessing the tragic state of the Wang family, they were all shocked and couldn't help but wonder about the capabilities of the NaDuTong employee who had caused all of this.

This was one of the Ten Elders, and they just wiped out his entire family like that?

Zhou Fengliu.

The name of this outstanding employee, which had recently appeared multiple times on the company's intranet, once again refreshed their understanding.

"Are you Zhou Fengliu?" The team leader asked as he approached Zhou Fengliu.

"it's me."

"..."

After Zhou Fengliu confirmed, the other party was silent for a second, then said with a somewhat helpless tone, "Brother, come back to headquarters with me. This matter today... is not small. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Ah."

Zhou Fengliu nodded and did not resist.

"These people are also participants, right? Let's go together."

...

Headquarters of Beijing Nadutong.

Zhao Fangxu had a headache.

The issues in the South China region haven't been resolved yet, and now this mess has arisen right under headquarters' noses.

A seemingly ordinary, low-level employee... was brought down by the Wang family, one of the Ten Elders.

When Zhao Fangxu heard the news, he was discussing the temporary worker system with the board of directors and regional managers. He was already quite annoyed, and the news made his headache even worse.

While Wang Ai may not be among the top-ranked members of the Ten Elders, he is considered a senior figure in the world of supernatural beings. Eliminating the Wang family would have certain benefits for the company, breaking the alliance among the Ten Elders. However, dealing with the aftermath would be a very difficult task.

"This Zhou... he really threw a difficult problem at me." Zhao Fangxu muttered to himself, sitting in his office chair and rubbing his forehead.

The crux of the problem lies in how to publicly disclose this matter: who was responsible for the massacre of the Wang family?

If the company didn't want to protect Zhou Fengliu, it could have simply not blocked the news, shifted the blame onto Zhou Fengliu, and then claimed it was an employee's personal issue, stating that the company had already taken control of the employee and resolved the problem.

But now... he wants to protect Zhou Fengliu, a talented employee among the lower-level staff.

To be able to wipe out the Wang family with just two or three people, that strength is definitely among the top in the world of supernatural beings.

More importantly... Zhou Fengliu is only in his twenties.

To have such strength and courage at this age, if properly nurtured, would definitely be a great asset to the company.

"Little Su..." Zhao Fangxu pondered for two seconds before calling out to President Su, who was standing to the side.

"Mr. Zhao."

"Go and retrieve the files on all the dirty deeds and shady dealings the Wang family has done over the years," Zhao Fangxu said.

"Yes..."

"Hasn't Xiao Zhou arrived at headquarters yet?"

"It should be soon."

"Yes, bring him to my office as soon as he arrives. I need to see this kid; I can't let him run wild like this," Zhao Fangxu said.

"Yes."

...

Ten minutes later.

As soon as Zhou Fengliu stepped into the headquarters building, he was led by President Su to Zhao Fangxu's office, while Zhang Chulan and the others were taken away separately by other people in the headquarters.

"Mr. Zhao... Zhou Fengliu has arrived."

"Let him in, Xiao Su, you can go about your business."

"it is good."

After speaking through the door, President Su pushed the door open, let Zhou Fengliu in, and then turned and left.

"Mr. Zhao..."

Zhou Fengliu walked in, and what he saw was an old man with gray hair, wearing a white shirt and glasses, who turned his gaze toward him as he entered.

"You must be Xiao Zhou. Come, have a seat."

Zhao Fangxu displayed the composure of a superior, and instead of reprimanding the troublesome employee, he had Zhou Fengliu sit opposite him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I never expected to meet the chairman for the first time at this time, in this way." Zhou Fengliu said quietly to Zhao Fangxu, the bigwig of Nadutong.

"I didn't expect this either... I'd wanted to see you for a while, but I've been too busy and haven't had the time."

Zhao Fangxu first said a few casual words, then paused for a second and steered the conversation to the Wang family.

"Xiao Zhou... It's good for young people to have vigor, but you can't be too impetuous. Do you know how serious the consequences will be if you cause a scene at the Wang family's house?"

“Mr. Zhao, you have no idea how bullying Wang Ai is. She secretly had people watching me and even tried to kill me.”

“I didn’t originally plan to cause a scene at the Wang family’s house. I went there because of a company’s request to resolve a problem. I figured I might as well settle my score with Wang Bing while I was there to resolve the problem.”

"To be honest, President Zhao has already given Wang Ai enough face, but he doesn't appreciate it. He used smashing a cup as a signal to get so many people involved to cripple me."

“This is legitimate self-defense,” Zhou Fengliu slowly explained, recounting the cause and effect.

"Self-defense? You killed so many members of the Wang family just because you acted in self-defense?" Zhao Fangxu was clearly not satisfied with Zhou Fengliu's attitude of admitting his mistake.

"Mr. Zhao...you've wronged me. I didn't kill his whole family..." Zhou Fengliu said, expressing his innocence.

"Yes...you didn't kill them, but their souls were all damaged...even if you saved them, the entire Wang family would be in a vegetative state. Was this an accident or intentional?"

Zhao Fangxu looked at Zhou Fengliu and spoke.

Seriously.

When he heard the news that Wang Ai and so many members of the Wang family had all suffered soul damage, he remained silent for a long time.

I'm a little confused as to whether Zhou Fengliu did it on purpose or by accident.

Seeing Zhou Fengliu's aggrieved expression, he instantly understood.

This is intentional!

Zhou Fengliu removed the souls of Wang Ai and the others, but preserved the vital signs that allowed them to be saved, so that Wang Ai and the rest of the Wang family could not be considered dead.

In this way, even if the authorities hold him accountable, they can only say that he acted in excessive self-defense, not that he committed intentional homicide.

"Mr. Zhao, of course it was an accident..." Zhou Fengliu would never admit that it was intentional.

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu refused to admit it, Zhao Fangxu came to a conclusion about him.

For some reason, Zhao Fangxu seemed to see the same shamelessness and stubborn refusal to admit anything in him as Xu Si.

It can only be said that...like leader, like subordinates.

Zhao Fangxu took off his glasses, wiped them with a cloth, and said as he did so:

"Xiao Zhou, do you think you're more important to the company, or is the Wang family more important?"

Chapter 123 All-Powerful Protection! The Company is Your Backing! (Second Update)

Hearing this question, Zhou Fengliu remained silent for two seconds, knowing that it was Zhao Fangxu's way of giving him a warning.

"Mr. Zhao, if I'm not mistaken, the Wang family is not important to the company."

"?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's answer, Zhao Fangxu was taken aback. He clearly hadn't expected Zhou Fengliu's reply to be so standard.
