Chapter 171 Jiang Lan is seriously illTen minutes later, in Chen Duo's room.
"Once you're done here, you can leave."
After hearing Jiang Lan's words, Chen Duo nodded slightly.
"okay."
Jiang Lan sat in his seat, looked at Chen Duo and continued to ask:
"Four days ago, you went out and brought back the Golden Phoenix?"
"Yes." Chen Duo did not hide it and agreed directly.
Jiang Lan frowned, "But when you came back, I didn't see you bringing anyone with you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Duo reached into his pocket and fumbled around for a while, then took out a ball.
The sphere is yellow both above and below, with a red material link in the middle.
In the very center, there is a green mirror-like circle.
Chen Duo handed the ball to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan took it and looked inside the green mirror. He saw a backpack inside that seemed to have been shrunk countless times.
Chen Duo explained:
"This is called a Devouring Sac. It was given to me by Village Chief Ma. It can hold dead things or unconscious living things. I knocked Granny Jin Feng unconscious and brought her back in this Devouring Sac."
Jiang Lan suddenly understood.
So that's what happened.
No wonder Xia Liuqing and Barron couldn't find Grandma Jinfeng's whereabouts after searching the village for such a long time.
It would be strange if the two of them could find it since it was packed in such a small ball.
The doubts in his heart were answered. Jiang Lan stood up from his seat and said to Chen Duo:
"Well, stay in your room and try not to leave the room no matter what happens outside."
Although Chen Duo is one of the top talents in Biyou Village, and the task assigned by the company clearly states that all top talents must be brought back to the company for investigation, Jiang Lan is confident that if Chen Duo does not come forward now, the company will turn a blind eye to her affairs.
After all, Zhao Fangxu had already sold Jiang Aimin's face, and only a short time had passed. If he was caught by Chen Duo and brought back to the company, what would happen?
But if Chen Duo appears in the village now and participates in the battle between the two sides, then no matter which side Chen Duo stands on, the company will not be able to ignore her.
Therefore, the best way now is to wait until the matter is over, and then Jiang Lan will quietly ask someone to send Chen Duo away.
When Chen Duo heard this, her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to say something.
Jiang Lan knew what she wanted to say and interrupted:
"I know you think Ma Xianhong is not a bad person. In fact, I don't think he is a bad person either, but from the perspective of the company and even society, Ma Xianhong is undermining stability, and the consequences he can cause are far more serious than you and I imagine."
What Chen Duo wanted to say was immediately blocked.
Jiang Lan turned around and walked to the door, then said to Chen Duo:
"You choose your own path. If you choose the wrong path occasionally, I can pull you back. But if you keep going down a dead end, no one, not even me, can help you."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and went out, leaving Chen Duo alone in the room, wondering what she was thinking about.
Jiang Lan had already walked away, but after a while, Chen Duo suddenly turned to the door where Jiang Lan had just left and whispered:
"Thank you."
On the other side, Jiang Lan had already arrived in front of the room where the self-cultivation furnace was located.
Unlike before, this time, the door of the room was tightly closed, with only a faint light coming through from inside.
However, Jiang Lan's five senses are different from those of ordinary people. He can hear someone talking in the room.
And that voice was exactly Ma Xianhong's voice.
“Notify all those with higher aptitude.”
"Well, they hurt Zihuan. Don't be polite, but you have to capture them alive. Yes, I will use them to negotiate with the people in the company." Jiang Lan, who heard Ma Xianhong's words outside the door, had a strange expression on his face.
Catch him alive?
Who catches whom?
Do you want to catch temporary workers?
Are you kidding? Although the talents of the top talents in Biyou Village are all quite capable, they are far inferior to the temporary workers who do the dirty work for the company.
Isn’t Ma Xianhong’s self-confidence a bit too much?
Immediately afterwards, Ma Xianhong's voice was heard again in the room.
"Is this what you are planning? Let those people do the work, and then you stay here and tie me up?"
"I'm not tying you up." This voice belongs to Zhang Chulan, "I'm keeping an eye on you!"
Jiang Lan stood at the door, thought about it, and decided not to push the door. Instead, he stood there, shook his head, and then turned and left.
Outside an empty room nearby, Jiang Lan sat on the steps at the door, looking up at the sky.
After a moment, Jiang Lan still kept his head up and said softly:
"Didn't I tell you that I don't want to get involved in your shitty affairs? Whether you want to attain enlightenment or become an immortal, why do you have to drag me into this?"
"Step, step..."
Behind Jiang Lan, there was the sound of high heels knocking on the brick floor.
"Brother Jiang Lan, I have my own difficulties. Don't you know how big a risk I have to take by showing up at this critical moment?"
Jiang Lan turned around and saw Qu Tong walking towards him step by step.
She was wearing a tank top on her upper body, with a loose sportswear over it, but most of the sportswear had slipped down her shoulders, exposing her shoulders.
As for the lower body, she wore a pair of black stockings and a pair of high heels that were about six or seven centimeters high.
"Didn't I tell you on the phone before? Don't bother me. I don't want to bother you either. Isn't it better to just live in peace?"
"not good."
Jiang Lan was helpless, "I really don't know what is it about me that attracts you... the ferocious beast? The ferocious beast in me is an innate ability, you can't learn it even if I teach you."
"Brother Jiang Lan, didn't I tell you before that I like..."
Before Qu Tong could finish speaking, Jiang Lan's figure suddenly disappeared from the step where he was originally sitting. The next moment, he appeared directly behind Qu Tong. His right hand turned into a claw, and the nails on his fingertips suddenly grew more than an inch long. He grabbed directly towards Qu Tong's back.
If Jiang Lan caught her right away, Qu Tong's body would probably be pierced through instantly and her heart would be crushed by Jiang Lan.
But Qu Tong seemed to be prepared. She turned around instantly, covered her right hand with a layer of light blue Qi, and suddenly collided with Jiang Lan's palm.
"boom!"
When the two palms collided, a huge wave of energy spread out and almost became material, blowing several willow trees around with a rustling sound, and even the grass on the ground stuck tightly to the ground.
Qu Tong curled the corners of her lips.
"Brother Jiang Lan, you are being a bit rude..."
Jiang Lan frowned, said nothing, and swung his claws towards Qu Tong's heart again.
He is not a pushover to begin with, and after being provoked once or twice, he might not even bother to fight back.
But Jiang Lan couldn't remain indifferent after Qu Tong's repeated provocations.
Since the soft approach doesn’t work, let’s try the hard approach.
Don't forget, when it comes to mental illness, Jiang Lan is the one with the most serious illness.
