Chapter 202 You'll have to take the blame for this.
It connects to everywhere, including headquarters.
Bi Youlong ran towards Zhao Fangxu's office with a face full of doubt. He had no idea how Zhao Fangxu had gotten his hands on the dragon ball from the Westerner.
Bi Youlong had even planned how he would take full responsibility if the truth came out using special means.
How come the Dragon Ball issue is resolved before he even started using his special methods?
With questions in mind, Bi Youlong slowly knocked on Zhao Fangxu's office door.
Zhao Fangxu looked at Bi Youlong, who appeared at the door, and beckoned him to come in.
"Youlong, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
Just as Bi Youlong sat down and was about to ask something, Zhao Fangxu took out an exquisite box from the drawer and pushed it in front of him.
Seeing Zhao Fangxu gesture for him to open the box, Bi Youlong stopped asking his question and slowly opened the box in front of him.
Inside the box was the very dragon ball that the Western Kingdom possessed, Bi Youlong asked in confusion.
"Chairman Zhao, what's this?"
Bi Youlong's confusion wasn't about the dragon ball in Zhao Fangxu's hand, but rather why he had given it to him.
Logically speaking, after Zhao Fangxu obtained the Dragon Ball, he should have handed it over to the higher-ups immediately. This was the procedure for the previous Dragon Balls. Why did Zhao Fangxu push the Dragon Ball in front of him today?
Zhao Fangxu slowly said, "Youlong, you must be very curious about where this dragon ball came from, right? I might as well tell you, Qu Tong gave me this dragon ball."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Youlong almost jumped up.
Although Bi Youlong has always claimed to be a radical among the board members, he knows very well that the most radical among the board members of Nadutong is actually Zhao Fangxu, the chairman of Nadutong, who is standing in front of him.
Zhao Fangxu was capable of anything for the stability of the supernatural world, so Bi Youlong was not surprised that Zhao Fangxu had been in contact with Qu Tong in secret. What shocked him was that Zhao Fangxu would tell him about this.
Zhao Fangxu continued, "Youlong, could you deliver this dragon pearl over later?"
The "past" that Zhao Fangxu mentioned was naturally the one handed over to the higher-ups. Bi Youlong was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Zhao Fangxu meant.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, you can leave it to me."
Now he could easily guess that Qu Tong and Zhao Fangxu must have reached an agreement, and that Qu Tong had exchanged something with Zhao Fangxu by using the Dragon Ball.
However, Zhao Fangxu, who is officially a director of Nadutong, certainly cannot reach a private cooperation with the wanted criminal Qu Tong, so the person who can reach this private cooperation can only be Bi Youlong.
None of this has anything to do with Zhao Fangxu himself. The person who took the Dragon Ball from Qu Tong was Bi Youlong, and it was also Bi Youlong who ordered the people who were investigating Qu Tong to come back.
Bi Youlong didn't care that he had become Zhao Fangxu's scapegoat, because subordinates are meant to be scapegoats.
Moreover, as long as this matter remains unexposed, Zhao Fangxu will naturally be rewarded for taking the blame after he retires in a few years.
If you're not even willing to take the blame, how can people believe you're capable of handling the chairmanship of All-Tong?
Then Bi Youlong looked around, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said angrily.
"Chairman Zhao, the guys in charge of tracking down Qu Tong haven't made any progress lately. They've been running all over the country looking for her, but haven't gotten anything out of it! They've also wasted a lot of our manpower and resources."
“We’ve been short-staffed in other areas lately. I’m wondering if we should reduce the number of people investigating Qu Tong and transfer some to other departments?”
Zhao Fangxu pondered for a long time before hesitantly nodding.
“You’re right. We really need to focus our efforts on collecting the Dragon Balls right now. Qu Tong has wasted a lot of manpower. Let’s leave her alone for now as long as she doesn’t cause any more trouble. Let’s bring back all the brothers who are in charge of investigating them.”
Bi Youlong immediately nodded happily.
"I'll have those brothers come back first. I'm short-handed on my side too, so I'll have them come and help me out."
"You can arrange it as you see fit, Youlong." Zhao Fangxu nodded in satisfaction.
Thus, at the "suggestion" of Bi Youlong, a director of Nadutong, Nadutong temporarily suspended its investigation into Qu Tong, the former president of Yaoxing Society.
However, while Zhao Fangxu and Bi Youlong were talking, they didn't notice a fly intently staring at them from the office wall.
……
One of Qu Tong's hiding places.
Qu Tong watched without changing her expression as a black wind suddenly appeared in front of her. As the black wind dissipated, Zhou Sheng appeared in front of her.
Zhou Sheng looked at Qu Tong and tossed a fly to her.
Qu Tong took the fly and tapped it lightly, and a video recording appeared in front of her. The recording was of Zhao Fangxu and Bi Youlong's conversation in the office.
Qu Tong nodded in satisfaction after watching the video and said to Zhou Sheng.
"I'm so grateful for your help during this time, Third Master. Whether it was stealing the Dragon Ball before or putting the surveillance camera in Zhao Fangxu's office later, it all depended on your Feng Hou Qi Men technique."
Zhou Sheng looked at Qu Tong with a puzzled expression.
"You went to all this trouble to get me out here, making me run around like this, just to exchange this little thing with Zhao Fangxu? Isn't that a lot of trouble? And are you really that sure Zhao Fangxu won't go back on his word?"
Qu Tong smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the crisis Zhou Sheng mentioned.
“Third Master, you underestimate Zhao Fangxu.” Qu Tong said slowly, “Although he seems conservative on the surface, he actually knows better than anyone what is most beneficial to him. As long as it is beneficial to the country, he dares to do anything. As for going back on his word? Isn’t that just a matter of time?”
Clearly, from the very beginning, both Qu Tong and Zhao Fangxu knew that their so-called agreement was nothing but a piece of paper.
All Qu Tong wanted was a short period of peace; she needed some time to achieve her goal.
Zhou Sheng frowned. He had never really understood Qu Tong. In all his years, he had never been so unable to see through anyone.
But he didn't care about any of that.
"I've repaid you for helping Old Seventeen. You can handle the rest yourself. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
After saying that, Zhou Sheng transformed into a gust of black wind and disappeared before Qu Tong's eyes.
Qu Tong watched the black wind recede into the distance and murmured to herself.
"He's like a monster."
……
Na Du Tong, Northeast Region, in the base where Gao Erzhuang is located.
Most of the time, Gao Erzhuang's base was located in a completely hidden location, and outsiders could not get in at all.
Today, however, this base welcomed a special guest.
Gao Lian, the head of Nadutong's Northeast region, was standing at the entrance of the base with great anticipation, waiting for the guests to arrive. When a familiar car drove into Gao Lian's sight, he excitedly rubbed his hands and leaned in.
As soon as the people in the car got out, Gao Lian excitedly stepped forward.
"Master Celestial! Welcome, welcome! You've finally arrived!"
