Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

The only information is that the opponent's ability has a wide range and can create flames and smoke while the aircraft is falling, causing it to crash.

Jiu Yue asked again, "So, should we report this to the company?"

She didn't want to tell Bai Kou about this and make him be on guard.

"No need. Ultimately, this is just my personal guess. The actual situation could be as Tang Qianqian said. The security personnel concealed the real cause of the aircraft crash in order to protect other people in the company. Or maybe they simply did not conduct a thorough investigation because they were lazy and slacking off."

But no matter what, this is an internal dispute of Universal Company and has nothing to do with these external hires.

He said to September, "Don't take on tasks beyond your responsibility. If you do this, the credit for good work will go to others, but if you do bad work, all the responsibility will be borne by you. This time, the commission asked us to be the special forces to deal with the Night Scourge, but it never mentioned that we should deal with evil spirits other than the Night Scourge."

The total number of days on the shelf: 40~

Chapter 64 The Life We Long For

Half an hour later, Tang Qianqian informed the security department of the trio's findings, which were suspected to be related to the night disaster, and other information still needed further investigation.

The meeting lasted until the afternoon and was peaceful throughout.

Before it got dark, a security officer pushed open the door and announced the company's latest order to the three people. He first glanced at the three people with a dignified look, and his condescending attitude was consistent. "Since the meeting is still going on and there was another attack today, you must stay in the company for the next few days and are not allowed to go out."

This is why Duan Mingyuan doesn't like working in the company.

Since Bai Kou arrived, the notice asking them to go back or stay has changed several times, which makes people wonder whether these aliens are suffering from schizophrenia.

Considering that most members of the security department are recruited locally, he feels that this schizophrenia may be highly contagious.

Duan Mingyuan said, "Director Fuling's contract with us did not mention that we need to stay in the company at night."

“When the contract was drawn up, there had been no unexpected attacks.”

The security guards were tough.

"Accident? It was precisely because your company knew about Wang Xu's attack plan in advance that you hired us."

The security guard had been speaking in a bad tone since he entered the room, and Duan Mingyuan saw the clue at a glance.

Most likely he was severely reprimanded by his superiors during the meeting. It made sense. The cause of the aircraft crash is still unknown, so he could only put all the blame on Ye Huo, a man he had never met. From the crash of the aircraft to now, not a single useful information has been found out. And all this was based on the fact that the company had already received the intelligence in advance.

Duan Mingyuan could only say that this group of people deserved to be taught a lesson, as they had made no achievements at all in their work.

He was very familiar with the company's procedures, and after the public criticism, he was rewarded with overtime and performance-enhancing rewards.

After being taught a lesson, the security guards took their anger out on these outsiders, hoping to force the three of them to stay in the company and suffer with them.

How could Duan Mingyuan fulfill their wish?

They are external personnel and do not belong to the same department as the security department. Why do staff of the same level have the right to give orders to them?

He said, "We have different work tasks. We are only responsible for Mr. Bai Kou's safety. It is your responsibility to maintain the operation of the entire company. If you want to modify the content of the contract, Director Fuling needs to come to us in person to discuss it."

"you--"

Their attempt to vent their anger failed. Duan Mingyuan's words made the security personnel feel even more aggrieved. They were furious when they thought that they were being scolded while these three external employees who came out of nowhere were enjoying massage chairs and snack service in the lounge.

The result of the meeting was that everyone had to work overtime and no one could go home until the new energy meeting was over.

They wanted the three external employees to work overtime together, and when there was any dirty work, they would throw it all to them.

But the security guard never expected that these three country bumpkins would totally ignore him!

Shouldn't we all look up to country bumpkins like these?

"If you have any questions, I can call Director Fuling right now."

"Hmph, I have already conveyed the rules, so you guys should take care of yourselves."

The security guard snorted coldly and left quickly.

After sending away the security guards who were looking for trouble, Duan Mingyuan looked back at Jiu Yue who was hesitant to speak, and said, "The plan to treat you to steam pot chicken later will continue as usual."

He is a man who always keeps his word. Since he promised Jiuyue and Tang Qianqian, he will definitely do it.

"Great!"

September suddenly smiled.

This was the first time that Mr. Mingyuan actually paid for her dinner, and it was also very likely the "last supper" before the war.

"It's getting late, let's get ready to go."

As expected, the news of the aircraft crash became the headline of Yunlong City's news today. As the first people to get off work in the entire building, Duan Mingyuan and his two companions were blocked by a swarm of reporters as soon as they walked out of the building. They rushed to ask the three people questions, asking whether Mr. Bai Kou survived, what attitude Universal Company took towards this action, and whether it would escalate into a diplomatic incident.

Duan Mingyuan adopted an attitude of remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. No matter how the reporters asked, they all spoke in unison and evaded the question by saying "no comment".

This restaurant, called "Yunxiang Pavilion", is two blocks away from the Universal Company Building. Its signature dish, steamed chicken, is the best in Yunlong City. After knowing Jiu Yue's hobby, Duan Mingyuan kept it in mind.

When he entered, the first floor of the restaurant was already full of diners, with the sound of laughter and conversation in the ears. The scene that came into view formed a sharp contrast with the cold color style of the company building. Duan Mingyuan remembered that he had imagined his future life when he was in high school - after a busy day at work, he would go to a small restaurant full of fireworks with his friends after get off work to fully enjoy his leisure time after get off work.

It's a pity that he later discovered that there were busy restaurants everywhere, but it was impossible for workers who worked overtime every day to have such a leisurely life.

Duan Mingyuan chose the innermost seat. After sitting down, Jiu Yue and Tang Qianqian started to study the menu while chatting and laughing.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the table, and he suddenly felt that his childhood dreams were being realized step by step.

He glanced at September and recalled the scene of their first meeting.

Perhaps he was too harsh in his assessment of the industry.

If the problems of high risk and poor treatment could be solved, this would be the life that best suited his original imagination.

It’s a pity that he was still a high school student at that time and had no ability to solve the structural problems of the industry.

"Steamed chicken, braised chicken, fried pork slices with free-range eggs, toothpick chicken skin, Jiuyue, you really like chicken, just like Lihua likes fish... It's a pity that she can't become a human like you, otherwise I can bring her out more often."

Tang Qianqian couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Although Lihua can also perform tricks, her size is too large compared to other cats. When the children in the neighborhood pointed at Lihua and cried that there was a tiger, she knew that she had to take Lihua out as little as possible in the future.

Fortunately, monsters are much smarter than ordinary cats. Lihua can not only take care of herself, but also help take care of the stray cats she brought back from the community.

"Senior, I want this!"

Tang Qianqian also turned to the page on the menu, "Whitebait and eggs."

“Don’t forget my favorite, braised pork tendon with green onions.”

The man who suddenly came over made Jiu Yue and Tang Qianqian look at each other in bewilderment. Before she could ask any questions, the man sat down next to Tang Qianqian in a familiar manner, looking apologetic, "Sorry, I'm late."

"you……"

"People from the company followed us."

The man lowered his voice and whispered, "I am a friend of Mr. Oe."

Chapter 65 The Seventh Type of Energy

"This is just a gathering of friends. Just treat me as your friend and call me Liu."

The man who called himself Liu lowered his voice.

Duan Mingyuan looked in the direction he pointed. The stalkers the other party mentioned were not employees from the security department. There were two of them, who looked to be around 40 years old. At first glance, they were just ordinary employees who were off work. After entering the room, the two chose the seats facing them, took off their suits after sitting down, and pretended to chat, but their eyes glanced here from time to time.

"Dajiang never mentioned you."

Duan Mingyuan remained calm. According to his observation, these two people were probably coming for Liu, and their table was used as a temporary shelter.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I have something to give you."

As he spoke, Liu suddenly raised his voice, took out his phone and pretended to scan the code, saying, "I'm late. I'll treat you to dinner today."

"Brother Liu, you are too polite."

Tang Qianqian understood and took out her cell phone. She and Liu started to push each other away. They turned their backs to the two people who followed them in. The follower saw the two people pulling each other and wanted to get up several times but held back.

What was sent was a densely packed text, as well as videos and photos providing evidence. Tang Qianqian didn't have time to read the text, but the photos, although blurry, were shocking.

There were several trucks parked at an unknown location and workers were loading goods into the trunks of the trucks.

The monsters were trapped in cages like animals waiting to be slaughtered. The small space made them unable to move. In a cage farther away, Tang Qianqian noticed something even more creepy - although it was almost turned into pixels due to the shooting angle, she could still vaguely recognize that the person inside was a human.

There were a lot of people, crowded together like monsters.

The title of the picture and text is not unfamiliar, it says "Seventh Type of Energy".

The atmosphere of this dinner was destined to be unhappy.

"Is work going well lately?"

After some arguing, Tang Qianqian pretended to chat and asked.

Liu immediately understood and complained, "It's still the same, but journalists are a profession that people dislike."

This must not be an ordinary reporter. After all, no reporter is bold enough to investigate the company's affairs privately.

At this time, the two people who followed them also noticed something unusual and stood up and walked straight towards their table. Liu Yong caught a glimpse of their movements and said, "Don't act rashly. I'll go back with them... Transfer the things I sent you, and then find a way to destroy the phone. Deleting the records is useless to the company."

My cell phone!

Suddenly, a huge sadness came over Tang Qianqian.

This mobile phone was the latest model that she bought when she got her salary last month. Now that she has lost her job and the organization's funding is very limited, even if the phone is reimbursed, she may only be able to use an older model.

But for now, she could only nod.

The two walked to the table and stated their purpose, "Mr. Liu, we have some work matters that we need to discuss with you."

"Is it about the newspaper?"

When Liu stood up, he did not forget to signal the three people with his eyes not to act rashly, and deliberately said, "Old Duan, Xiao Tang, maybe the editor-in-chief has something to ask me. This meal will be put on my account. Let's get together another day."

"You are such a busy man."

Tang Qianqian also cooperated and performed, "Then we'll meet again next time."

She admitted that her heart was trembling as she spoke. If the two asked to check her phone in person at this time, the photos and texts on it would not be clear.

The two stalkers were big and strong, and it was obvious that they were not easy to mess with. They wanted to say something, but after seeing Duan Mingyuan and Jiu Yue, they nodded to the three of them, grabbed Liu's arm and left.

It was not until Liu was led out of the restaurant by two people that Tang Qianqian asked hesitantly, "Is Lao Liu okay?"

Although they had known each other for a very short time, she could already guess why the company came to find Liu.

The righteous reporter, after accidentally discovering the company's hidden conspiracy, began to track and investigate, and finally captured evidence of illegal business one night, but at the same time, he accidentally revealed his flaws and was targeted by the company.

Tang Qianqian knew that this question was no different from nonsense.

You can guess with your toes how the company will treat such overly curious people.

"should be."

Duan Mingyuan said.

It's like the beginning of those movies, where a righteous reporter gains intelligence at the cost of his life and hands it over to other people, who then use the leaked information from the company as a clue to start a thrilling battle royale. At the end of the movie, at the cost of many people's sacrifices, justice ultimately triumphs over evil, and these shady conspiracies are exposed to the public.

Whenever Duan Mingyuan saw this type of movie, he always watched it with great interest.

However, he doesn't want such stories to happen in real life.

Especially the love and justice that the movie strives to promote ultimately brings death and sadness.

This is also the reason why he has become more and more fond of watching exciting movies recently. Although this type of movie is always criticized as popcorn movies, if he has to choose, he still sincerely hopes that the retired agents portrayed in the movies will come to reality and kill all the way without earning anyone's tears, but relying on the aesthetics of violence to push forward and bring all evil to justice.

"Senior, let me show you."

Tang Qianqian threw her cell phone to Duan Mingyuan as if she was throwing away a burden.

She has never been a curious person, and she doesn't like to cause trouble. And most importantly, she just took a look at the content of the photo and felt a little nauseous. "Senior, you'd better be mentally prepared before you look at it."

The steamed chicken at Yunxiang Pavilion is the best in Yunlong City, and she doesn't want to lose her appetite in a moment.

Duan Mingyuan nodded and flipped to the front of the densely packed text.

The Seventh Energy Category:

"The so-called seventh type of energy does not refer to common resources such as thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy, mechanical energy, and chemical energy. Instead, it refers to life energy, which is energy extracted from living organisms. Since this type of energy was discovered, it has been widely used on the front battlefield. It is understood that Blue Star is an important source of the seventh type of energy."

This is what was written at the beginning, confirming Duan Mingyuan’s guess.

The first thing Bai Kou said after seeing them was, "Fox, stay. Several projects are in urgent need of energy sources."
