This made them feel incredibly frustrated.

Chen Duo looked at them, a cold smile playing on her lips, then turned and left.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving only silence.

Everyone then came to their senses and suddenly realized that Ma Xianhong had disappeared.

Where is Ma Xianhong?

Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise. He looked around but couldn't even see a trace of Ma Xianhong.

"I don't know." Xiao Zizai frowned.

"But I can sense that there is a third person here."

Black Pipe nodded, "That's right, and this person's strength is probably even above ours."

Wang Zhenqiu's expression turned serious. "It seems we really underestimated our opponent this time."

Old Meng looked in the direction Chen Duo had left with a worried expression. "Chen Duo, why doesn't she understand?"

"Old Meng, don't think about this anymore."

Zhang Chulan patted his shoulder:

"Let's think about how to explain this to the company."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They all knew that this mission could be considered a complete failure.

Not only did they fail to capture Chen Duo and Ma Xianhong, but they also let them escape.

What will the company think?

This made them fall into deep thought.

The company's attitude toward temporary workers has always been a mystery.

The company always both depends on and fears it.

The delicate balance was instantly shattered by Chen Duo's incident.

Will these temporary workers become a source of instability in the company's eyes?

"Let's report back first."

Xiao Zizai's voice broke the silence:

"The situation has gotten out of our control, and we must let the company know."

Everyone nodded and began to report their situations to the company.

Everyone's face was etched with solemnity; they knew that this matter was of utmost importance.

Soon, everyone's eyes met again.

"The company wants us to go back." Zhang Chulan's voice was somewhat heavy.

"It seems they're going to investigate us."

Xiao Zizai chimed in, "That's right, the company wants us to go back together. The company will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Wang Zhenqiu frowned: "Tell me, why does the company want us to go back? Are they going to take action against us?"

Old Meng shook his head: "Probably not. After all, we work for the company, and the company shouldn't easily target us."

"Whatever the reason, it's clearly not a good thing." The clarinet's voice was cold and resolute.

"Let's all prepare for the worst."

Feng Baobao nodded silently without saying a word.

Zhang Chulan sighed: "In short, everyone, good luck to you all."

"I think the company will definitely conduct some investigations and interrogations on us to determine our loyalty."

He paused, then continued, "After all, this incident has caused some dissatisfaction at headquarters regarding our status as temporary workers."

"They think we are too free-spirited and lack discipline."

"Who cares? Let's go and see what happens," Xiao Zizai said.

"We'll meet force with force, and we'll deal with any challenge. We temporary workers aren't pushovers."

Chapter 166: Qu Tong's Double-Edged Sword

Just as the temporary team was facing company problems and having heated discussions, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Meanwhile, Ma Xianhong had already quietly left Biyou Village.

No sooner had he left than a group of vehicles sped off towards Biyou Village.

These are all company vehicles, and their purpose is clear—in addition to arresting the people from Biyou Village, they also want to take the temporary worker team back.

Ma Xianhong was unaware of all this; he had already taken the opportunity to escape that place of trouble.

He ran wildly until he reached a secluded place, where he stopped to catch his breath.

He quickly pulled out his phone and contacted the "sister" he mentioned.

When a woman appeared, Ma Xianhong quickly went over and said, "Sister, I was careless this time."

He said with some annoyance, "I couldn't stop them, and they even destroyed the cultivation furnace."

The woman is Qu-Tong, Ma Xianhong's older sister.

"This time it's not your fault."

Qu Tong said, "Even the temporary workers from Dutong have been deployed, so it's normal that you can't handle it."

Her voice was gentle, yet it conveyed an undeniable authority.

Hearing her words, Ma Xianhong felt a sense of relief.

"As for that cultivation furnace, it's fine too," Qu Tongdao continued.

"We can do it later. Anyway, since you're here, the Body Refinement Furnace can be made anytime."

In fact, Qu Tong asked Ma Xianhong to make that body-shaping furnace.

It's simply to transform ordinary people into superhumans, thereby enhancing their own power.

Anyway, as long as Ma Xianhong is here, the Body Refining Furnace can be made at any time.

Ma Xianhong hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:

“But, sister, the core of the Body Refinement Furnace is gone. If we want to remake it…” He frowned, his face full of worry.

Qu Tong took out a small, shimmering object from her pocket and handed it to Ma Xianhong: "I still have the core here; you can continue making the cultivation furnace."

Ma Xianhong took the strange little thing and examined it carefully.

"What, is there another problem?" Qu Tong noticed Ma Xianhong's reaction and asked softly.

Ma Xianhong raised his head, looked into Qu Tong's eyes, and took a deep breath:

"Sister, what... exactly is this thing?"

Qu Tong smiled slightly and gently shook her head:

"You don't need to know what it is, you just need to know that it's useful to you."

Qu Tong didn't want to delve into it; for her, the less Ma Xianhong knew, the better.

He was nothing more than a pawn in his own hands, a pawn used to carry out his own plans.

Ma Xianhong never asked many questions before because he trusted Qu Tong, the older sister who had always helped him.

But now, Lin Yang's appearance has disrupted this balance.

He began to doubt Qu Tong and everything she had done.

"Sister, I want to know what this is?" Ma Xianhong stared intently at Qu Tong, his tone firm.

Qu Tong's expression instantly turned serious. She looked at Ma Xianhong, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes:

"What's wrong with you? Why do you need to know these things? You never used to ask about these things."

Ma Xianhong took a deep breath and said, "Of course I wouldn't have asked before, because even if I wanted to, I would have forgotten."

He said, "Was this thing separated from your body? Was it made by you with your two hands?"

Upon hearing Ma Xianhong's question, Qu Tong's eyes widened slightly.

She seemed surprised that her younger brother would suddenly ask such a question.

"How...how did you know about this?"

Ma Xianhong did not answer, but continued to press, "Did you use the Double-Handed Technique to take away my memories?"

Qu Tong's face instantly turned ugly.

She frowned and said sharply, "Do you know what you're saying? How could I possibly take away your memories?"

"But why have I forgotten so many things?" Ma Xianhong's tone softened, as if he were trying hard to recall something:

"I feel like my memories have been deliberately cut out."

Qu Tong sighed, looking at Ma Xianhong with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes:

"You've disappointed me so much. I always thought we trusted each other. How could you think of me like that?"

Ma Xianhong was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Qu Tong's eyes:

"But you are not my biological sister. We are not related by blood."

Why are you so good to me? And why did you hide so many things from me?

Qu Tong was shocked by Ma Xianhong's words. She stood there, speechless for a long time.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ········

After a long while, she slowly sighed and asked, "What's wrong with you? We've always gotten along so well, why have you suddenly changed?"

Seeing Qu Tong's reaction, Ma Xianhong began to waver.

Could it be that he really made a mistake?
