One person: Activate the talisman, behold my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

Old Meng pushed up his glasses.

"It's just one of my special abilities; it allows me to temporarily turn people into animals," Ye Xing replied casually with a smile.

'Intense curiosity and amazement were detected among the crowd; emotion value +330.'

"That's so much fun! Can it turn back?"

Wang Zhenqiu leaned closer and tugged at one of the rabbits' long ears. "If it can't turn back, we'll have a hard time explaining ourselves."

Ye Xing smiled easily.

"They can be turned back. The leader was about to self-destruct because he couldn't win. To prevent them from doing the same thing, I had to turn them back first. After all, they are all subordinates who have been brainwashed by Qu Tong. It's better to be safe than sorry."

Hearing that these people would self-destruct, everyone felt a chill.

'Detected feelings of palpitations and relief among the crowd; emotional value +300.'

"That's ruthless. He'll blow himself up at the drop of a hat."

He lit another cigarette, took a drag, and said, "Luckily, Brother Ye, you reacted quickly, otherwise we might have really suffered a great loss."

Ma Xianhong then stepped out from behind the crowd.

He looked down at the row of rabbits on the ground, then looked up at Ye Xing.

"Since they were also brainwashed by Qu Tong..."

Ma Xianhong's tone was somewhat urgent, "Then can the methods you used to help me regain my memories also be used on them?"

After listening, everyone turned their heads, waiting for Ye Xing's answer.

Ye Xing nodded, confirming Ma Xianhong's guess.

"Of course, that's why we're keeping them alive. How can we extract Qu Tong's information if we don't help them recover their original memories?"

Just do it.

Ye Xing instructed Payne to neatly arrange the four rabbits on the ground.

He stepped forward, and the gentle, pure light of the horse talisman appeared in his palm.

White light slowly enveloped the rabbits' bodies as it traveled along his palm.

The power of the Horse Talisman can not only repair physical damage, but also restore the soul to its original state.

The instructions and altered memories forcibly implanted by the Dual-Handed Technique began to crumble inch by inch under the wash of white light.

The rabbits instantly transformed back into human form.

Less than a minute later, Ye Xing withdrew his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

"nailed it."

The group did not resist, nor did they display their previous frenzy; they simply sat on the ground, stunned.

The recovered memories and the experience of being controlled collided wildly in their minds, and some even covered their faces and cried softly.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan had no time to care about their feelings.

He moved with lightning speed, flipping his hands and precisely inserting several closed-body needles into the bodies of these people.

The Qi that had just resumed its flow was instantly sealed off, turning the seven people into ordinary people who were completely powerless.

After doing all this, Zhang Chulan dusted off his hands and smiled as he retreated back into the crowd.

Wang Zhenqiu stretched out a big yawn and put his hands behind his head.

"That's great, this mission is a complete success. Not only did we prevent Ma Xianhong from being kidnapped, but we also captured a few others."

Zhang Chulan took out his phone, walked a few steps to the side, and dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, Zhang Chulan quickly reported the situation to the person on the other end of the line.

This ambush was something they had planned in advance with Zhao Fangxu. Now that the operation was successful, they naturally had to give a proper report so that Zhao could quickly investigate the mole.

After chatting for a short while, Zhang Chulan hung up the phone and quickly ran back.

"General Manager Zhao said it was well done. He immediately arranged for reliable people to come and pick us up and secretly escort these people back. He has already started investigating the mole."

Just as Zhang Chulan finished speaking, and everyone was preparing to clean up the scene and load the person into the car.

"Buzzing—"

A sudden, rapid vibration of a cell phone rang out.

The sound came from the pile of junk that had just been taken from Mo and his companions.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent, and everyone focused their attention on the flashing phone.

There were no notes on the screen, only a string of unknown numbers.

Ye Xing raised an eyebrow, walked over, bent down to pick up the phone, and swiped his finger to answer the call.

Immediately afterwards, he turned on the hands-free function.

Just then, a gust of wind blew through the woods, and the rustling of the leaves sounded exceptionally clear at that moment.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a casual and languid female voice coming from the speakerphone.

"Hey."

"How's it going?"

Chapter 77: Qu Tong and the Double-Handed Technique

"How's it going?"

Hearing the woman's voice on the phone, Ye Xing picked up his phone and slowly replied.

"Everything is done. The group of people, all bundled up tightly, are queuing up."

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone.

After about three or four seconds, the woman's voice changed, and the previous languid air vanished without a trace: "Who are you?!"

"Let me introduce myself."

Ye Xing grinned and said in a relaxed tone, "My name is Ye Xing, President Qu. Nice to meet you."

Two heavy breathing sounds came through the microphone.

Qu Tong suppressed her anger and actually laughed: "Impressive, you managed to swallow the people I sent whole."

"It's alright, a little bit better than you, a dual-wielder."

Ye Xing retorted calmly.

After these words were spoken, the other end fell completely silent.

After a full half minute, Qu Tong changed the subject, her tone becoming somewhat urgent: "Where's Xian Hong? What did you do to him?"

Before Ye Xing could even respond, Ma Xianhong, who was standing next to him, could no longer hold back.

He snatched the phone and roared at the microphone.

"Qu Tong! Get out of here! Stop with your fake act!"

The veins on Ma Xianhong's neck bulged, and his face turned bright red. "I remember everything now! You were the one who took my family away. You're not my sister at all, you selfish and despicable liar!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long pause, Qu Tong's tone became unusually serious, and she coldly uttered a sentence.

I will find you, little brother!

Beep—the call was abruptly disconnected.

Ma Xianhong gripped his phone tightly, his face grim, his chest heaving violently.

Ye Xing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, now that the facade has been torn off, Qu Tong won't let it go. In your current state, cooperating with the company is your only way out. Think it over carefully."

Ma Xianhong lowered his head, gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.

Not long after, the support team arranged by Zhao Fangxu arrived.

The group loaded the Yaoxing Society members—no, these individuals—into a vehicle and secretly returned to the headquarters of Nadutong.

……

Two days later.

Beijing, the headquarters of NaDuTong, a secret meeting room without any windows.

At the oval conference table, Zhao Fangxu sat in the main seat, flanked by Xu San and Xu Si on either side.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao sat a little further away, while Ye Xing sat opposite Zhao Fangxu.

This was a condition Ye Xing specifically proposed to Zhao Fangxu, allowing Zhang Chulan and the other three to participate in this conversation.

Zhao Fangxu picked up his thermos, took a sip of hot tea, and got straight to the point.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point."

Zhao Fangxu pushed a document to the center of the table. "Ma Xianhong has agreed to full cooperation with the company. In addition, we sent people to Yaoxing Society's branch in Shanghai, but it has long been deserted, and Qu Tong has completely disappeared."

Ye Xing leaned back in his chair and tapped the table: "President Zhao, please speak frankly. Ask whatever you want."

"Mr. Ye is straightforward."

Zhao Fangxu didn't waste any time, turning to a page of the document. "The body-cultivating furnace that Ma Xianhong built, after being disassembled by the technical department, had some living organ tissues extracted from its core. The most bizarre thing is that this thing has a complete network of meridians, and it can survive as long as there is Qi input. How is this possible?"

Ye Xing did not answer directly, but instead asked another question: "How is the company's investigation into Qu Tong's background going these past two days?"

Zhao Fangxu was taken aback by Ye Xing's sudden change of topic, then sighed and shook his head: "The information we can find right now is very limited. Because of what you did last time, the company's online information investigation capabilities have been greatly weakened."

At this point, Zhao Fangxu glanced at Ye Xing.

"Although Erzhuang is trying to regain control of that ability, the technical department has assessed that our company's intelligence network is definitely much weaker than before."

'Zhang Chulan is detected to be experiencing strong feelings of doubt; emotion value +50.'

Sitting next to him, Zhang Chulan scratched his head. He had heard the name Erzhuang mentioned by the temporary workers when he was in Biyou Village. He knew that she was also a temporary worker and that she had been rescued by Brother Ye and had not participated in the mission.

Why does it seem from Mr. Zhao's words that these two strong individuals are related to the company's network lifeline?

Ye Xing, oblivious to Zhang Chulan's puzzlement, continued Zhao Fangxu's words, saying, "It's normal that we can't find out. I only have some guesses about Qu Tong's true identity."
