The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 223 Tong Xiao performs Infernal Affairs

Beijing, at night.

Tong Xiao was carrying a box lunch and walking towards the company. There were people coming and going and cars were busy on the road.

When you say Beijing is prosperous, sometimes it actually gives people the feeling of being congested or crowded.

But fortunately, it’s not too late now, and there aren’t many people on the road.

Everything was going on as usual, but just as he was about to reach the company, Tong Xiao vaguely sensed that someone seemed to be following him.

He glanced around but didn't see anyone strange.

Tong Xiao remained calm and gradually walked towards a place with fewer people.

After turning into an alley, Tong Xiao saw that no one was paying attention, so he immediately used his skills to jump onto the roof of a nearby building.

There was no one on the rooftop, but Tong Xiao turned around and said, "Which friend is here? Come out and meet me."

A breeze blew by, and a fallen leaf floated in from somewhere.

Before the leaves fell to the ground, a person suddenly appeared in the air.

"Tong Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be living quite comfortably lately."

Tong Xiao was not surprised to see the newcomer. He just smiled slightly and said, "Not bad. Being able to live and see the sun every day is the luckiest thing in the world."

Empress Chen smiled upon hearing this, folded her arms in front of her, and jokingly said, "From what you said, are you really betraying me?"

"Just to stay alive." Tong Xiao said.

"That's right." Queen Chen shrugged. "How about coming with me?"

Tong Xiao sighed and smiled bitterly, "There's nothing I can do. Why do you think the company allows me to walk around so freely?"

Queen Chen looked her up and down and asked, "Did they do anything to you?"

"Yeah." Tong Xiao pointed to his head, "I'm under a restriction and can't leave."

"Go back, the old man should have a way."

"What do you think is faster, the company discovering my disappearance or the time it takes for me to see the old man?"

"Hmm... so, you can only stay in the company?"

Tong Xiao didn't answer this, but asked: "How are Mei Qian and the others?"

Empress Chen replied, "They're both fine. They went back home for examination and treatment, and are now well. Speaking of which, I want to thank you for staying behind to stop Zhang Wuling."

"Really? At least two of them went back. I've done my best."

Empress Chen looked at Tong Xiao for a moment before continuing, "Can I ask what the restriction is on you?"

"I'm not sure about the details, but probably it's to prevent me from betraying the company and to prevent me from escaping." Tong Xiao said.

"Can I still trust you?" Queen Chen suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Tong Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Queen Chen said, "I will find a way to deal with your situation, but before that, I want to know if you are still loyal to us."

Tong Xiao understood, "You want me to stay in the company and be a secret agent?"

"Yes, do it or not."

"Oh, that's easy to say. Now that I'm like this, what good will it do me to help you?"

Empress Chen said, "With the old man's strength, unless the one who restricted you is Zhang Zhiwei, there is nothing to worry about."

"Freedom..." Tong Xiao remained calm. "It's great, but the risk is too great. I'm a coward and afraid of death."

Empress Chen naturally understood what he meant, so she smiled and said, "You're still the same. Let me be frank. Grandpa's recent experiments have made new progress, which will enable you to further improve your abilities. In modern terms, this is called evolution."

Tong Xiao's heart moved, and he asked in surprise: "Oh, what do you mean?"

Queen Chen spread her hands and said, "Sorry, I can't tell you more. You just need to know that we now have something that can allow the abilities of Inhumans to evolve and enter a new world."

"you do not trust me?"

"That depends on your performance." Queen Chen said with a smile.

Tong Xiao fell into silence, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Queen Chen was not in a hurry either. She just stood there waiting with a faint smile on her face.

But Tong Xiao didn't think for too long. About half a minute later, Tong Xiao asked, "What do you want me to do? Let me tell you in advance, I won't do anything that will get me killed."

"Don't worry, I won't let you get yourself killed." The smile on Queen Chen's face widened considerably. "How about this, as long as you can capture a man named Wang Bing from the Wang family, I'll trust you. We can discuss the rest later. How about that?"

"Wang Bing?" Tong Xiao was curious. "Why did you capture this kind of trash?"

He was really curious this time. After all, in his opinion, if it weren't for the Wang family, Chunchun would be a piece of trash.

He has no talent, no strength, and no brains. He is just a young boy.

But at the same time, Tong Xiao felt relieved. Even though he didn't know why, catching Wang Bing was not a difficult task.

Empress Chen did not hide anything and said directly, "It's okay to tell you. We captured this guy simply because of the Soul Binding and General Dispatching skill on him."

"Detain the spirits and send the generals?" Tong Xiao suddenly realized, then asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why didn't they arrest the Feng family?"

Empress Chen said with a smile, "If you can catch him, I don't mind."

Tong Xiao said: "Forget it, I won't do anything unnecessary."

"Well, the task is simple, right? Do you want to do it?"

"Okay." Tong Xiao agreed, "But I hope you can remember the promise we made to each other."

"of course."

Chen Hou flicked a small paper ball from her hand and said, "After you catch him, send him to this address. Okay, I won't delay your meal. We will see each other again."

After finishing speaking, Queen Chen disappeared instantly.

Tong Xiao stayed quietly for a while, then left with a calm expression.

After returning to the company dormitory, Tong Xiao put the lunch box on the table, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Boss, are you asleep?"

【What, what's going on?】

"Queen Chen of Taiping Dao came to see me just now."

【Oh, not surprisingly, he wants you to go back? 】

"Well, but I told him about the ban, and he said he had a way to help me solve it, and..."

Tong Xiao informed Zhang Wuling of what had happened over the phone.

[Something that can make aliens evolve? Capture the king and seize the spirits and send generals?]

"Yes, that's all."

【You promised him, right? 】

"I agreed. What should I do now? Should I catch Wang Bing?"

[Tsk, if you ask me about this, it's hard for me to handle it either... After all, Wang Bing is a member of the Wang family, and Wang Ai is one of the Ten Lords. How would this old man handle it if his beloved was captured?]

Tong Xiao held his forehead and sighed, "Boss, you said so much, but you actually meant one thing, right?"

"That's all I need to know. I told you to arrest Wang Bing, not Wang Ye. I don't have any objections."

"I see. This kid is just unlucky."

【That's it, anything else? 】

"It's gone for now."

[Okay, I’ll hang up.]

After hanging up the phone, Tong Xiao sat down at the table, opened the duck leg rice he bought, and opened the video software.

"What should I watch? The new dramas are too bad. Let's watch an old movie... Well, 'Infernal Affairs' is pretty good."
