Chapter 388: Temporary workers take action, and there are dangers lurking in Biyou Village!
Huang Boren moved his chair back.
"That's true, but Chen Duo's move this time is really hard to understand."
Zhao Fangxu tapped the table with his fingers. That was the only sound in the conference room.
"You don't understand? I understand."
He snorted, his voice deeper.
"Ma Xianhong's appetite is bigger than I thought. Chen Duo goes back... humph, he wants to cause trouble again."
Mr. Fei leaned forward and asked, "Chairman, what do you mean?"
Zhao Fangxu raised his eyelids and fixed his gaze on the map of Biyou Village on the screen.
"What I mean is that we can't delay any longer. If we delay any further, Ma Xianhong will really turn the tables."
"Then, take action?" Bi Youlong asked with a fierce tone.
Zhao Fangxu didn't respond immediately. He stopped tapping his fingers and remained silent for a few seconds, as if he was weighing something.
"Action... we must act. But we need to think carefully about how to act."
He looked at Huang Boren, "Old Huang, what do you have in mind?"
Huang Boren smiled, still the same as before.
"Chairman, I do have a few ideas, but I'm afraid you'll find me being too long-winded."
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhao Fangxu said angrily.
"What time is it now? If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Huang Boren cleared his throat.
"I think we can't rush this. Chen Duo just returned and the situation is unclear. If we act now, we might alert the enemy."
"Alerting the enemy?" Bi Youlong frowned.
"The situation is urgent, why are you afraid of snakes?"
Huang Boren glanced at him.
"Old Bi, I know you are impatient. But think about it, the water in Biyou Village is very deep.
Ma Xianhong is not easy to deal with, not to mention that there is now another Chen Duo..."
"What happened to Chen Duo?" Bi Youlong asked, "How can a holy child with a Gu body turn the world upside down?"
Huang Boren shook his head, "You can't say that. Chen Duo is different. That girl is very thoughtful.
Ma Xianhong must have had a plan to get her back."
"Even if you have a plan, what can you do?" Bi Youlong said in a hard tone.
"We can go everywhere, why should we be afraid of a Biyou Village?"
Zhao Fangxu raised his hand to stop them both, "Alright, stop talking."
He rubbed his brows and sighed.
"What Lao Huang said makes sense. The situation is complicated now and we can't act recklessly."
"Are we just going to wait like this?" Bi Youlong was a little unhappy.
"Wait? Of course we can't just wait." Zhao Fangxu's eyes were sharp.
"While waiting, we must also prepare." He looked at Director Fei.
"Old Fei, is there any new development on the intelligence side?"
Mr. Fei pushed up his glasses.
"There's nothing special going on with Ma Xianhong for now. Biyou Village is still the same, very peaceful."
"Calm?" Zhao Fangxu sneered.
"The calmer it is, the more problems there are. Keep an eye on it. Keep a close eye on it. Report any disturbances in Biyou Village and Chen Duo immediately."
"Yes, Chairman." Mr. Fei nodded.
Zhao Fangxu's gaze returned to the photo of Chen Duo on the screen with a complicated expression.
The meeting room fell silent again. No one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.
Zhao Fangxu paused, glanced at the people present, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Bi Youlong."
"Here!" Bi Youlong responded immediately.
"What do you think?" Zhao Fangxu asked.
Bi Youlong's eyes turned fierce, "Chairman, I think we should take action now.
Chen Duo is the key, we can't let her fall into Ma Xianhong's hands. If necessary, we have to use any means!"
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room became even colder.
Huang Boren spoke slowly.
"Lao Bi, don't get excited. Chen Duo's matter is indeed troublesome, but we have to take it slowly and don't let ourselves get confused first."
His words seemed to be advising Bi Youlong, but in fact they were also reminding Zhao Fangxu not to be impulsive.
"Old Huang is right." Zhao Fangxu nodded in agreement.
"But we can't just stand there and watch. Ma Xianhong's self-cultivation furnace and the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements are too threatening."
He began tapping the table with his fingers again. The tapping sound was particularly clear in the quiet conference room.
"Chen Duo..." Zhao Fangxu's voice sank.
"It's a 'key'."
"Must...control it." Bi Youlong continued.
Zhao Fangxu took a breath and fixed his eyes.
"Notify the heads of each district and prepare."
"Standby."
"Yes!" Bi Youlong and Huang Boren responded at the same time, with a hint of excitement in their tone.
An operation against Biyou Village is about to begin.
……
In Biyou Village,
With a buzz, the phone vibrated.
Su Chen took it out and saw two words on the screen, "Mr. Zhao".
He stood up straight immediately and answered, "Director Zhao."
"Su Chen, the company has made the decision, let's act now."
On the phone, Zhao Fangxu's voice was low but firm.
"Chen Duo must be brought back. Ma Xianhong...if necessary, we must control him together."
Su Chen frowned and stared at the ground. After a long while, he hummed.
"Understood, Mr. Zhao." Then he hung up the phone.
This job is not easy.
The room was dim, with only the screen on.
Su Chen looked around and saw Xiao Zizai, Clarinet, and the communicator connected to Feng Baobao were all there.
"The order has come down." Su Chen spoke, breaking the silence.
"The company wants us to bring Chen Duo back. If Ma Xianhong stops us..."
He paused, "Take it together."
"Hey, I can finally move."
Xiao Zizai smiled, his eyes sparkled, and he licked his lower lip.
"I've been wanting to have a fight with Ma Xianhong for a long time."
The clarinet player didn't say anything, he was still wiping his clarinet with a cold look in his eyes.
"Find Chen Duo and take him away."
Feng Baobao's voice came through the communicator. It was still calm, but sounded quite determined.
Su Chen exhaled, calmed himself, and began to talk about the plan.
"Brother Xiao, Clarinet, you guys stay outside and keep an eye on it. Don't let those villagers from Biyou Village come and cause trouble."
He paused, "Remember, don't cause trouble, the target is Chen Duo and Ma Xianhong."
"Don't worry." Xiao Zizai grinned, his teeth were really white.
"Baby, come with me into the village to find Chen Duo."
Su Chen said into the communicator, as if he could see Feng Baobao,
"We have to find her quickly, otherwise there will be more trouble."
"Yeah." That was all Feng Baobao said.
"Action!" Su Chen whispered. The communication was cut off.
……
The night grew deeper and the lights in Biyou Village were brighter.
In a room, Ma Xianhong was standing in front of a workbench, busy with work.
There was a mess on the stage, parts, tools, and something that looked a bit like... a person? Made of wood?
"Village chief," Chen Duo stood by, looking at Ma Xianhong and asked softly,
"You...really want to do this?" The voice sounded a little uneasy.
"Of course." Ma Xianhong didn't even raise his head.
"Chen Duo, you are the most important part of my plan. You must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"But..." Chen Duo wanted to say something, but stopped.
"Don't think too much, Chen Duo."
Ma Xianhong raised his head, looked at her, and smiled gently.
"Trust me, I will give you a new start."
"Hmm..." Chen Duo nodded, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside, breaking the silence in the room.
Ma Xianhong's face changed and he turned around abruptly and looked towards the door.
"What's going on?!" he asked harshly.
"Village Chief! It's bad!"
A villager stumbled in, looking panicked.
"The person who can connect anywhere... is calling in!"
"what?!"
Ma Xianhong's pupils suddenly shrank and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"How many of them are there?"
Ma Xianhong suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"No...I don't know..." The villager's voice trembled.
Ma Xianhong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Chen Duo, please stay here first and don't go out." Ma Xianhong said to Chen Duo.
"I gonna go see."
