Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 349 The Attitude of the Gao Family in Northeast China, Yang Shen Zhenren

Zhao Fangxu's two questions silenced the previously lively electronic expression, and the changing light and shadow revealed a hint of frustration in the electronic expression representing Gao Erzhuang.

Zhao Fangxu did not urge him, but simply waited quietly for Gao Erzhuang's reply.

Although the Gao family of Northeast China was one of the four families, they rarely operated south of Shanhaiguan for a long time. A hundred years ago, during the national crisis, they joined forces with the shamanic families to fight against the invaders.

They are at the center of the world of supernatural beings, yet they are detached from the masses, which gives them a sense of escapism.

Today, the Gao family is deeply intertwined with the company's branch in Northeast China. In fact, it could be said that the Northeast branch is essentially the Gao family's branch. Its unique characteristics set it apart from other regions.

The current head of the Gao family is Gao Lian, who is also the manager of the Northeast branch. Gao Erzhuang is his daughter and a temporary worker under him.

During his more than ten years in office, the Northeast region had always been a stable place, but now it may be becoming less stable.

Gao Erzhuang's real name is Gao Yushan. She is a born extraordinary person, and unlike other born extraordinary people, she has the talent to cultivate later in life.

She combined her innate extraordinary skills with the alchemy of the Wu-Liu School, causing her ability to manipulate radio waves to mutate and transform into the ability to allow her spirit to travel out of her body and exist in the real world and cyberspace in the form of radio waves, making her a veritable cyber killer.

However, for some reason, her body has been deteriorating, and now she only has half a body left. The company uses technology to prolong her life, but it is only a temporary solution.

But now, at the Lu family's birthday banquet, it has been proven that the Double-Handed Technique can modify one's life, body, and soul, which is a rare opportunity for Gao Erzhuang to save his life.

"Chairman Zhao, as you know, my problem has always been a worry for the old man."

Gao Erzhuang's mind manipulated emoticons to create a forced smile on her phone screen, and her electronically synthesized voice couldn't hide her sadness.

"Although the old man kept it from me during this time, I could tell that he had his own plans."

"To keep an eye on me, they started writing notes and no longer use electronic devices to communicate; they've switched to paper documents!"

At this point, Gao Erzhuang, who had been feeling dejected and sad, became indignant, his emoticons changing to show his anger, but he quickly calmed down.

"As you know, Mr. Zhao, very little information on the internet can be kept from me, but for someone like me who is paralyzed, the information in black and white is simply inaccessible."

"And what about the Gao family's attitude?"

"The Gao family's attitude is much simpler; we'll just pretend we don't know anything."

Gao Erzhuang's voice regained its liveliness, and a playful tone came from the phone, "According to my old man, the Lü family didn't send a visiting card or give any prior notice this time, so we don't need to worry about it. After all, we can't control it anyway."

"Just treat the two grandfathers and grandsons from the Lü family as tourists visiting Northeast China. They can keep an eye on them, but there's no need to make a big fuss about it."

The emoticon on the screen helplessly shrugged, which immediately relaxed Zhao Dong's tense expression a little, and he laughed twice, amused.

"Hehe, it really shouldn't be such a big affair."

Zhao Fangxu stared at the casual attire of Lü Ci and Lü Qian on the screen. The atmosphere between the two was like that of an ordinary grandfather and grandson traveling together.

However, Zhao Fangxu, who was familiar with that period of history, as well as Gao Lian from Northeast China and other interested people, all knew that while others went to Northeast China for tourism, the Lü family went there to kill and search for things.

Not only the Lü family had been keeping an eye on that item, but the Japanese had also never given up. Overtly, they frequently tried to enter the country to search for it through diplomatic means over the past few decades; covertly, the Japanese had also sent people to try to sneak into the country to investigate.

Whether openly or covertly, the Japanese have failed to find it. Now, with Lü Qian accompanying them and Lü Ci, a survivor from back then, leading the way, finding that item has become a certainty.

The demon sword Hirumaru, a demon sword containing a living spirit, has reappeared after a hundred years. Although it can no longer cause bloodshed, it will still attract many maggots and flies in the dark.

The company can't control the actions of the Lu family grandfather and grandson, but it can restrain and eliminate these annoying pests.

Zhao Fangxu shut down the computer and instructed Gao Erzhuang on his phone, "I already know."

"Erzhuang, your job from now on is to keep an eye on the network and report any news to me immediately."

"Also, tell Gao Lian that as long as he doesn't set fire to me, I won't see what he does even from hundreds of kilometers away."

"Your Gao family knows that land in the Northeast better than we do. I won't ask outsiders to disrupt your plans. You can focus on dealing with external matters and leave the rest to me."

"Chairman Zhao is so domineering!"

The emoticon on the screen turned into a little person giving a thumbs up, and Gao Erzhuang's voice cheered and praised Zhao Dong's previous remarks.

"Chairman Zhao, you will always be my idol!"

"Alright, now your idol is going to get off work, so you should go back and rest for a while. What's coming next is going to be a tough battle for you."

"Yes, as Chairman Zhao instructed!"

The phone screen flickered twice before returning to normal; Gao Erzhuang's mind had already drifted away from the network.

In the office where he was left all alone, Zhao Fangxu closed his eyes. As his vision went dark, his mind was highly active as he pondered the various possible scenarios.

"Knock knock!"

Just as Zhao Fangxu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, there was a knock on the heavy door. The knocking woke Zhao Fangxu from his thoughts, and he seemed to have anticipated the identity of the person who came.

"Senior Brother Liu, please come in."

A young Taoist priest with a dignified appearance and ordinary clothes stepped in. He tucked his sleeves into his hand and walked up to Zhao Fangxu, sitting down in the chair that the other man had prepared for him.

"Chairman Zhao, the matter has been resolved, and the three individuals have returned to normal."

"Those seniors were also willing to put in a lot of effort, using talismans, poisons, yin spirits, and spells... If it weren't for being able to investigate in the form of a 'yang spirit,' even I wouldn't have been able to deal with it properly."

The Taoist priest surnamed Liu sighed, "Past events are ultimately hard to let go of."

"Although I've cleaned up their methods, the three of them should still keep their distance from each other in the future. By the way, that Zhang Chulan, his three cores are half-crippled, so his cultivation will become much more difficult in the future."

After listening to Master Liu's report, Chairman Zhao nodded with a serious face and asked, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Liu. May I ask, Feng Baobao, what can you see?"

Upon hearing this, the usually composed Master Liu suddenly revealed a faint smile and replied to Zhao Fangxu's implicit probing, "That girl is interesting, but that's all."

"She is just a father's regret. In time, this regret, which may have lasted for decades, will finally have a happy ending."

"The seed has been planted; all we can do is wait patiently."
