Chapter 108 Temporary Worker Chen Duo
Chapter 108 Temporary Worker Chen Duo
Xu Si pushed open the door and walked straight towards Li Qiankun, who was sitting at the table reading documents, with a serious expression.
"Qiankun, this mission is very important. We need to have a good talk." Xu Si said as he pulled over a chair and sat opposite Li Qiankun.
Li Qiankun raised his head, his eyes meeting Xu Si's. He already knew the core of this mission—capturing Chen Duo, the company's temporary worker. But he didn't betray any emotion. He simply nodded calmly, motioning for Xu Si to continue.
"Actually, you also know who the target of this mission is, right?" Xu Si asked tentatively.
Li Qiankun smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Fourth Brother Xu, do you think I'm the kind of person who would hide things?"
Xu Si laughed heartily upon hearing this and patted Li Qiankun on the shoulder: "I knew you had it in mind. However, since you mentioned it, let me tell you more about Chen Duo's matter."
As he spoke, Xu Si cleared his throat and began to talk about the existence of temporary workers in Nadutong Company.
"Nadutong Company, one of the giants in the alien world, has a unique internal operating system. Temporary workers are a special part of this system. They are not formal employees of the company, but they possess extraordinary abilities and skills. They are dispatched to various locations to handle difficult and dangerous missions, and are an indispensable force for the company."
"And Chen Duo is one of these temporary workers. She was originally a temporary worker in the South China region, but because she was suspected of murdering Liao Zhong, the head of the South China region, and then fled, she became the target of our mission."
Li Qiankun listened quietly, his heart already churning with emotions. He knew Chen Duo much better than this. He knew that Chen Duo's past was one filled with pain and struggle.
"Chen Duo has been used by the evil organization 'Medicine Fairy Society' to make poison since she was a baby. In that dark place, she and 48 other children were used as experimental subjects, enduring endless pain and torture." Xu Si continued.
"And Chen Duo, miraculously, became the sole survivor. Not only did she survive, but thanks to the fusion of multiple poisons within her body, she possessed extraordinary strength and skills. But this also came at a huge price for her—she never received a normal human education, nor experienced the warmth and love between humans."
Li Qiankun listened silently, feeling deeply sympathetic towards Chen Duo's situation. He knew that although Chen Duo possessed great power, her heart was desolate and lonely.
"Later, Liao Zhong showed up. He rescued Chen Duo and brought her out of that hellish place. But Liao Zhong also understood that Chen Duo could no longer integrate into normal society. So, he chose to keep Chen Duo by his side as his temporary worker, providing her with a relatively safe environment."
"However, Chen Duo never truly accepted Liao Zhong's kindness. She longed for freedom and to be able to make her own choices. But in this world full of rules and constraints, her wishes always seemed so out of reach."
Xu Si couldn't help but sigh at this point. He knew full well that this mission wasn't just about capturing a fugitive. It was also about freeing Chen Duo from the shackles of her heart, allowing her to truly find her own path.
Li Qiankun also fell into deep thought. He knew this mission would be exceptionally difficult. Although Chen Duo was powerful, her mind was as innocent and fragile as a child. Bringing her back to the company would require not only immense strength but also patience and wisdom.
"In fact, the reason Chen Duo killed Liao Zhong was because she wanted to make her own choices," Xu Si continued. "She no longer wanted to be bound by anyone, not even a good person like Liao Zhong. She wanted to live freely and freely choose her own destiny."
"But unfortunately, she chose the most extreme way to achieve her wish. She murdered Liao Zhong and fled to Biyou Village, seeking refuge with Ma Xianhong."
Li Qiankun's heart tightened upon hearing this. He knew that Biyou Village was a place full of dangers and unknowns. Chen Duo would likely encounter more troubles and dangers there.
"However, we can't give up on her just because of this." Xu Si's tone became firm. "Although Chen Duo made a mistake, she is also a victim. We have a responsibility to bring her back to the company and provide her with a chance to reform."
The days Chen Duo spent in the Medicine Fairy Society were the darkest time in her life.
She was forced to undergo various cruel training and experiments, which severely damaged her both physically and mentally. During those days, her only friend was a dog named "Chen Junyan".
This dog is the only one who can provide her with warmth and companionship in the Medicine Fairy Society.
When Liao Zhong rescued Chen Duo, she had become withdrawn and indifferent. She couldn't get along with others, couldn't express her emotions, and didn't even know what was good and evil.
Liao Zhong made great efforts to help Chen Duo adapt to human society. He taught her how to speak, write, and navigate, and he took her to movies, music, and delicious food. However, no matter how hard Liao Zhong tried, Chen Duo could never truly integrate into human society. She always felt like an alien, an unacceptable existence.
In the end, Chen Duo chose to kill Liao Zhong, not because she hated him or wanted revenge on him, but because she wanted to make her own choice.
She no longer wanted to be bound or controlled by anyone, she wanted to freely choose her own destiny. However, this choice led her to a more difficult path. She became the target of the company and was forced to flee and hide.
"That's basically it. Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao and the others will go to Biyou Village when the time comes." Xu Si said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Li Qiankun stretched and said slowly: "Alright, alright, thank you for your hard work. Just let Zhang Chulan contact me when the time comes."
Xu Si didn't say anything else and just pushed the door open and left.
"Close the door, I'm going to make the elixir." Li Qiankun said in a mean way.
Xu Si was very upset but he still closed the door.
Li Qiankun's mind was still filled with the entire plot of Chen Duo.
While on the run, Chen Duo encountered Ma Xianhong and the new Jiejiao sect of Biyou Village. They offered her a temporary haven and a sense of belonging. In Biyou Village, she found like-minded people who offered her a sense of warmth and companionship. However, this good fortune was short-lived, as Biyou Village was ultimately destroyed by the corporation.
Chen Duo once again fell into despair and loneliness.
During her escape, Chen Duo constantly pondered her fate and her choices. She thought about committing suicide and giving up, but in the end she chose to persevere.
She wanted to find a place where she could make real choices, a place where she could find a sense of belonging and meaning. However, this wish was ultimately unfulfilled.
