Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 345 The Impending Turmoil, The Fleeing Aliens

The afternoon sun scorched the ground, and rows of high-rise buildings covered the city. This was the capital city, and among the magnificent buildings in the city, the headquarters of NaDuTong was not in the central area. Its location was not prominent, and its appearance was not conspicuous.

The facade, resembling that of an ordinary logistics and courier company, concealed the secrets and functions within. In the warehouse on the ground floor, strange people dressed in brown uniforms and wearing baseball caps silently moved boxes of various sizes, and no one knew what was inside.

It could be an item purchased by an ordinary person, an extraordinary material from the world of supernatural beings, or even a living person...

In the dimly lit underground warehouse, a van emerged from the dark tunnel, and sitting in the passenger seat was Liao Zhong, who had appeared at the site of the former Trinity Gate that morning.

At this moment, he smiled like a kind and gentle old father, yet with a touch of authority. His smile was completely different from the reckless bandit he had been that morning.

"Duo'er, Daddy's going on a business trip. Be a good girl and listen to Aunt Xiaoli at home."

Liao Zhong held a phone, the screen showing a little girl with black hair and blue eyes, with a cute appearance. Looking at this little girl, the fatherly love in his eyes was almost overflowing, and the corners of his mouth were always turned up in happiness.

This little girl was rescued by him from those madmen of the Medicine Immortal Society years ago. They acted relatively early and saved dozens of children in total.

These children, both boys and girls, range in age from one or two to five or six. They are all adorable, but without exception, they show no reaction to the outside world, like exquisite puppets.

Through their investigation, they learned that these children were experimental subjects captured by the Medicine Immortal Society, and were raw materials for refining the "Gu Body Saint Child," without the original Gu being implanted yet.

These children were abducted when they were young. The Medicine Immortal Society neither nurtures nor teaches them. The Gu Masters simply cleanse the children of their acquired nature, leaving them in a state of innate ignorance, and using their bodies as containers for Gu.

Such methods were cruel. That year, people from various factions in South China, along with experts from other regions who came to help, once again destroyed this organization that had been revived several times.

Then, the question of where these children belonged became a problem. In order to refine the "Gu Body Saint Child", the children that the Medicine Immortal Society found were all children with outstanding talents and excellent aptitude.

These young children are still learning, and although it is cruel, they are also highly malleable materials.

In this way, those clean and clever children became the seedlings that various forces were vying for.

Liao Zhong was just going through the motions of assigning these children to their respective homes, but when he spotted this little girl with black hair and blue eyes among the children, he froze on the spot.

There was a strange connection that took root in his heart, making it impossible for him to let go of this little girl.

So in the subsequent division of responsibilities, Liao Zhong kept the young girl at the company, right under his nose.

At first, he was puzzled. To put it bluntly, Liao Zhong considered himself a scoundrel in his life, fond of drinking and womanizing, and foul-mouthed. Although he had some pity, after decades in a high position, his passion had long since cooled.

Logically speaking, they would never pay attention to a young girl.

But sometimes the world is just so unreasonable. Out of initial curiosity, Liao Zhong came into contact with the little girl in the bunker. In their several interactions, that inexplicable connection took root and sprouted, and he even developed a fatherly heart.

Once his fatherly instincts were fully formed, Liao Zhong made a move that shocked everyone who knew him: he wanted to adopt the little girl!

Initially, everyone thought Liao Zhong was just a lecherous guy who was going to take advantage of the young girl, and they all tried to stop him. But as time went on, the employees in the bunker realized that Liao Zhong's kindness was not an illusion.

Finally, a little girl named "Chen Duo" was taken out of the bunker by Liao Zhong and became his daughter.

But what infuriated Liao Zhong the most throughout the whole process was the name "Chen Duo," which should have been "Liao Duo"!

That damned blondie—Chen Junyan—should be locked up in the bunker for life.

What infuriated Liao Zhong, a loving father, the most was that he was unable to see Chen Duo in time due to official business, allowing a boy named Chen Junyan to take advantage of the situation, steal Chen Duo's naming rights, and also steal the original place in Chen Duo's heart.

Moreover, for some reason recently, those people who originally studied extraterrestrial visitors have become ill. They were supposed to take over Chen Junyan, but they have been vague and have started to stall.

This confused Liao Zhong, and made him even more resentful of Chen Junyan, that "little blondie," because of his special circumstances, he could only be locked in the bunker, and Chen Duo also had to go back to the bunker to check on him from time to time.

Before long, his silly daughter was about to become someone else's.

"Uncle Liao, I'll be good. Aunt Xiaoli said you went to headquarters, right?"

The delicate and adorable little girl on the screen looks at that rough yet kind face through the environment. Her calm tone reveals no emotion. She is learning how to become a qualified "person".

"That's right, that's right. After the mission is over, Uncle Liao will bring you some fun things back."

But before Liao Zhong could even feel a surge of fatherly affection, Chen Duo's next words made him grit his teeth in hatred.

"Thank you, Uncle Liao. Could you please ask Chen Junyan what happened? The last time I saw him, he seemed both happy and frustrated, saying that the person he was waiting for hadn't come."

Liao Zhong tried his best to maintain a smile, but in reality, his back teeth were grinding together.

"Okay, Uncle Liao will ask Grandpa Zhao for you later."

After exchanging a few more words, the car drove deep into the warehouse, and Liao Zhong had no choice but to hang up the phone, adding another mark against Chen Junyan in his mind.

If it weren't for Chen Junyan's help in guiding Chen Duo, he would have packed him up and sent him to the moon long ago.

Third kind of contact with extraterrestrial visitors, huh? You go and make good contact with them. From now on, whenever there are any extraterrestrial visitors, you'll be Earth's host.

After muttering a few curses under his breath indignantly, Liao Zhong turned and ordered his men to unload the three boxes from the back of the car before stepping into the elevator that was going up.

"Brother Xu, what have you done that made Chairman Zhao order me to bail you out?"

……

"Jelly, explain yourself to me, what do you mean you're going to run away?"

In a dense forest in the Southwest region, Wang Zhenqiu held a piece of pink, fleshy creature in his hand, his crimson eyes revealing a cunning glint as he smiled.

The pink, fleshy creature he was holding writhed a few times, revealing human features, and its human-like mouth uttered ordinary language.

"Oh, don't you know? Your planet is about to undergo a dramatic change. If you don't run now, it will be too late."
