Lord Shenxiu

Chapter 620 Armed Wage Recovery (Extra update for monthly ticket)


"So, there's still a way out of this job."

Zhong Shenxiu finally concluded, "As long as Cao Liuyu doesn't discover my true identity, he might not lose control... We come out to eat hotpot and sing, then make our way back home, just like that..."

"But, I think that unscrupulous company orchestrated this whole thing targeting me… Also, this Gui Yi seems to be much more formidable than my sister last time."

Before approaching the black umbrella, he caught the handle and gave a gentle tug.

The tip of the umbrella left the ground.

The distorted shadow quickly returned to normal.

The hand with the bloody hole immediately submerged into the dark shadow and disappeared.

"It... it... ran away."

Han Bingjie's voice became stuttered again.

"Yeah, saw that! I can't just leave my shadow here, can I?"

Zhong Shenxiu nodded and while speaking, swiftly thrust the large umbrella like a black sword.

In Han Bingjie's shadow, another unharmed purple-black hand emerged, only to be pinned back down to the ground.

He pulled out the umbrella again, and the hand retracted as quickly as if it had been electrocuted.

After a moment.

"I think it won't come after us anymore."

Zhong Shenxiu said earnestly.

Han Bingjie silently hid by Zhong Shenxiu's side, cautiously watching his own shadow.

Afraid that in the next moment, Gui Yi would appear from it!

His eyes occasionally glanced at the large black umbrella, secretly guessing its origin.

'Brother Gui is too impressive.'

'Both hands of Gui Yi got holes, why do I somewhat feel it's pitiful?'

'Just now, Brother Gui looked like he was playing a Whack-a-Mole game…'

He then saw Zhong Shenxiu move and quickly followed, deciding to cling tightly to him.

Becoming a leg accessory seemed like a pretty good prospect.

Perhaps in the future, he could reach the pinnacle of life and become a CEO—firing himself!

"Have you… encountered Gui Yi?"

The two had walked a bit when they saw Chu He running over.

Han Bingjie nodded and handed the memory card to Chu He.

Chu He looked at Zhong Shenxiu with a puzzled face, "Gui Yi, where are you headed?"

"Going to pick up the tablecloth, remember to pick up your trash when camping, it's basic manners!"

Zhong Shenxiu replied without looking back.

Chu He: "..."

An hour passed since the gathering.

At the entrance of Burial Mountain Cemetery.

Zong Sheng saw Liu Xin and Murong Hong come out, a smile appearing on his face, "You're still alive, that's great… I thought I was the only one left!"

The killing speed of Gui Yi was terrifying, but oddly, it seemed to slow down afterward.

However, the three of them had still split up and hid until the end of the time, then rushed out of the cemetery at top speed.

"Manager?!"

Liu Xin saw three figures and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Um..."

Chu He raised the memory card in his hand, "Everyone being alive is good news, but here's some bad news… Cao Liuyu is 'Gui Yi'!"

He played the content on his phone, making Zong Sheng and the two women shudder, "Manager Cao is Gui Yi, we've worked and lived with Gui Yi for so long, and never realized it…"

"Let's go quickly, this place is creepy!"

Murong Hong looked behind at the cemetery, trembling all over.

Though the text message said it was safe after leaving the cemetery, no one could guarantee it!

"No, wait a bit longer."

Zhong Shenxiu suddenly spoke.

Minutes later, a couple appeared at the entrance, it was Shi Minglou and Su Nuan!

"You're all still alive? You're not being impersonated by tricksters, are you?"

Zong Sheng was full of suspicion.

This job had been too bizarre, with the early stages incredibly terrifying, and the survival rate later on exceedingly high!

Apart from Cao Liuyu, only Liu Dacheng, Miao Yingying, and Sinan City had died!

The other two temporary workers died because they broke the rules and were cursed by the company.

"Alright, get on the bus."

Chu He sighed and boarded the bus.

This time, nine of them had set out, but those who returned included Chu He, Zhong Shenxiu, Han Bingjie, Zong Sheng, Murong Hong, Liu Xin, and two temporary workers.

A total of eight had returned, making the survival rate quite high!

Zong Sheng immediately started the car and drove away from the cemetery.

On the way, Chu He suddenly spoke up: "I think, stopping Cao Liuyu from opening the package was the biggest lifeline in this job! But later, the trickster clearly stopped working... It's really strange."

'Not strange at all!'

Han Bingjie rolled his eyes internally: "If both my hands were drilled with holes, I wouldn't want to continue working either..."

But he planned to keep this secret very close.

Although Brother Gui hadn't asked him to keep it secret, as a subordinate, it would be quite inappropriate not to have this kind of judgement!

...

The bus stopped in the city center.

A somewhat disheveled group entered the Anywhere Express Company's gate, yet they didn't attract any attention from passersby.

"Wait, there's something serious."

Zhong Shenxiu suddenly stopped Han Bingjie: "Have you received your overtime pay?"

"Ah? Brother Gui, are you talking about the compensation? I got it a long time ago!"

Han Bingjie opened his new phone and showed Zhong Shenxiu the payment information on it.

"I haven't received it!"

Zhong Shenxiu said seriously, "This heartless express company, deducting my salary!"

Chu He laughed: "Impossible! The company would never make such a mistake, it might just be that your phone didn't alert you... or the bank is delayed, we don't care much about that money..."

Ding!

The next moment, a message from an unreadable sender appeared on Zhong Shenxiu's phone:

[Single Person Annual Task!]

[Task Time: April 14th, 11 PM, take bus number 444, go directly to the final stop, deliver the package!]

[Complete the task, and you may leave!]

...

"Single person annual task?"

Chu He widened his eyes: "This is unreasonable!"

"It's tomorrow?"

Han Bingjie also screamed: "Brother Gui..."

Although Shi Minglou and Su Nuan didn't know what was happening, they wisely stayed aside, with a somewhat schadenfreude mentality.

"Brother... you're truly unfortunate."

Zong Sheng and the other two women looked sympathetic but were powerless to help.

Slap!

Zhong Shenxiu clapped his hands in realization: "This lousy company is targeting me!"

'You just figured that out?'

Chu He glanced at him sideways, speechless.

"This is outrageous."

Zhong Shenxiu was filled with righteous indignation: "Asking for overtime without pay, isn't this exploitation? It must be exploitation?!"

"This damn heartless broken company can go to hell, let me show you what the wrath of a working person looks like aaahhh!"

At that moment, he was like an avatar for the countless souls from the Three Thousand Worlds who have been forced to work unpaid overtime, suppressed by their bosses, exploited for free labor—he was not fighting alone!

"It's useless..." Chu He sighed, "No matter how angry you get, you can't harm the company even a bit... Oh my!"

Before he could finish, his jaw gradually fell open, finally cracking like a broken bone, as he clutched his chin in pain, tears almost coming out.

But Chu He's eyes were fixed on Zhong Shenxiu, watching as he dragged the tip of his umbrella across the ground and walls...

Everywhere it passed, it left indelible marks, as if scorched by fire!

'He... he really can harm the company. No wonder he's being targeted. Who exactly is he?'
