EBE Chapter 216 Solving All the Children
Chapter 216 Solving All the Children
"And these children..."
"They were captured by Elder Helian and Xia He; they should both have the talent for Qi cultivation."
Jiang Mo explained, "Could you please have the company help send them home?"
Zhao Fangxu nodded, then directed the agents to take care of the still-shaken children.
Jiang Mo then walked towards the unconscious Xia He and gently tapped her forehead: "Wake up."
Xia He slowly woke up and saw Jiang Mo in front of her. Her face showed a look of horror, and she quickly crawled backward.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
"I just want to ask you a few questions."
They won't deal with these people out of respect for Zhang Lingyu.
However, he is indeed somewhat curious now.
For example, what exactly is Xia He's ability that makes her dare to provoke me?
Upon hearing about Jiang Mo's deterioration, Xia He looked around in alarm.
But when he saw the old man Helian's mummified corpse in the corner, his face turned ashen.
"He...Old Man Helian..."
He is dead.
"That so-called primordial Gu soul is actually a parasitic Gu that devours the host's life force."
"He was killed by his own ambition."
Xia He trembled all over, her eyes filled with despair: "So, am I going to die too?"
Jiang Mo shook his head: "President Li begged me to spare your life, and I agreed."
"But there's one condition: you have to tell me why Feng Baobao suddenly harbors such deep hatred for me?"
The situation in this world has completely changed.
It could be said that Feng Baobao's background may have changed because of her arrival.
However, since Xia He dared to come over...
They must be aware of the changes in this matter.
Upon hearing Jiang Mo's question, Xia He remained silent for a moment before whispering, "Because... Chen Duo."
“Chen Duo?” Jiang Mo frowned. “What is his relationship with Chen Duo?”
"Feng Baobao and Chen Duo have known each other since they were very young."
Xia He's voice carried a hint of sadness, "They were neighbors, childhood sweethearts."
"Later, Chen Duo was captured by the Medicine Immortal Society, and Feng Baobao vowed to find her and rescue her."
"He joined the Quanxing Sect to gain power to rescue Chen Duo."
Jiang Mo suddenly realized: "I see. But what does this have to do with me? Wasn't Chen Duo eventually rescued by the company?"
Xia He shook her head: "Feng Baobao believes that Chen Duo became a Gu-body Saint Child and suffered so much pain because of you."
"Because of me?" Jiang Mo was taken aback.
"I was also a child captured by the Medicine Fairy Society back then; we should be in the same boat."
"Feng Baobao heard that you stood out in the experiments of the Medicine Immortal Society and mastered the power of the Primal Gu."
"Chen Duo was another successful experimental subject."
Xia He sighed, "He believes that without your success story..."
"The Medicine Immortal Society might abandon the experiment, and Chen Duo wouldn't have to suffer so much."
Jiang Mo fell silent; this logic was somewhat far-fetched.
But emotionally, he could understand Feng Baobao's thoughts.
"And what about you?" Jiang Mo looked at Xia He, "Why did you help Elder Helian against me?"
Xia He gave a bitter smile: "Feng Baobao is my only friend in the Quanxing Sect. I just want to avenge him."
"And Old Man Helian told me that if I help him deal with you, he can resurrect Feng Baobao."
"Of course, I know it was a scam now."
Especially after learning about Nadutong's situation.
"Or rather, the Feng Baobao that Xu Si has been protecting is a different person."
"Quanxing is just his double, but I don't know why the two of them look exactly alike."
Jiang Mo heard Xia He's explanation.
I wasn't too surprised.
He already knew about these things.
What the other party is saying now is just a hint.
But seeing Xia He's condition, he still sighed and gently touched Xia He's forehead: "Tranquilizing Gu, insert."
A wisp of green light pierced through Jiang Mo's fingertip and entered Xia He's brow.
Her expression immediately calmed down, and her eyes regained their clarity.
"I left a calming Gu inside you, which can help you soothe your emotions and dispel those unrealistic obsessions."
"Go back and reflect on your actions. Cherish the opportunity Chairman Li has given you."
Xia He stared blankly at Jiang Mo, nodded, and the hatred and pain in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief.
Jiang Mo turned and walked towards Zhao Fangxu: "Now it's confirmed that Elder Helian and Xia He are the masterminds behind this incident."
"The matter has been resolved, I'm going back now."
Zhao Fangxu nodded: "Thank you for your help."
"The company will handle the follow-up matters properly, including sending these children home and providing accommodation for Xia He."
"As for Elder Helian... we will take his body back for research to see if we can find any more clues about Gu magic."
Jiang Mo did not object, but simply said, "I did something to Elder Helian; all the Gu poison has been removed and will not harm the researchers."
"But a word of caution: it's best not to touch that small black ball on his chest. That thing is very dangerous; even after death, it can still leave residual poison."
Zhao Fangxu nodded solemnly: "Understood, I will give special instructions."
Leaving the abandoned factory on the banks of the Qiantang River.
Jiang Mo got into the car provided by the company and headed straight for the bunker.
On the way, he pondered the information Xia He had revealed.
The relationship between Feng Baobao and Chen Duo, as well as the true purpose of the old man Helian, forced him to re-examine some things.
Back at the fortress, Zhang Chulan and Chen Duo had been waiting for a long time.
"Big Brother!" Zhang Chulan excitedly greeted Jiang Mo as soon as he saw him.
"How's it going? Has Xia He's situation been resolved?"
Jiang Mo nodded: "All resolved."
"Xia He is being orchestrated by Elder Helian, who wants to seize the power of the Gu God."
Chen Duo also came over and asked with concern, "Jiang Mo, are you alright?"
Jiang Mo shook his head, his gaze lingering on Chen Duo's face for a moment.
Remembering what Xia He had said about the relationship between Feng Baobao and Chen Duo, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Chen Duo, I want to ask you something."
Jiang Mo asked softly, "When you were little, did you have a friend named Feng Baobao?"
Upon hearing this name, Chen Duo's expression visibly froze.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head.
"Yes...he's my neighbor's older brother; we grew up together."
Jiang Mo sighed softly, "I see."
"He joined the Quanxing Sect to rescue you."
Chen Duo looked up, tears welling in her eyes: "I know... after the company rescued me, I inquired about him."
"Later I heard he joined the Quanxing sect, and I was very sad, but I didn't know what to do."
Zhang Chulan remained silent.
He knew that Feng Baobao's death was related to Jiang Mo, and now that he knew about this past event, he couldn't help but feel complicated.
