AWB Chapter 22 What Chen Duo Wants
Chapter 22 What Chen Duo Wants
This video played was a recording Qin Le retrieved from the company's bunker, showing Chen Duo, expressionless, undergoing surgery performed by medical staff.
Even as the scalpel repeatedly cut through her skin, Chen Duo remained motionless on the bed as if nothing had happened.
Years of suffering have robbed Chen Duo of the ability to express herself; even when faced with pain, she cannot articulate it.
Some of the more timid people in the hospital covered their mouths in fear as they watched Chen Duo undergo surgery without anesthesia.
After being taken away by company personnel, Chen Duo was placed under the supervision of Liao Zhong, the head of Nadutong's South China region.
Under Liao Zhong's years of meticulous care, Chen Duo has slowly regained some of her human emotions, although she still cannot possess normal human emotions.
In the subsequent video, Qin Le played a large number of videos of Chen Duo that he had obtained from the hidden bunker.
Countless people watched as Chen Duo gradually came to understand the emotions of a normal person, transforming from a girl devoid of feelings.
The family members of the injured girl in the hospital, seeing Chen Duo's tragic past, gradually calmed down.
He also understood why Chen Duo accidentally hurt her daughter; it was entirely because Chen Duo couldn't interact with people like a normal person.
Chen Duo was out of control, which is why she hurt her own daughter.
"Liao Zhong... right? Miss Chen is truly a pitiful person. I will no longer pursue Chen Duo's responsibility. I hope Chen Duo can recover soon."
Upon hearing that the victim's family had forgiven him, Liao Zhong was overjoyed.
"Thank you so much! I thank you on behalf of Chen Duo!"
Although Chen Duo gradually developed emotions, due to her special physical condition, the company always viewed her as a threat.
Chen Duo, possessing the Gu-body Saint Child, could easily create a large-scale Gu poison field if she so desired, causing widespread casualties in a very short time.
Furthermore, given that Chen Duo has never possessed the normal thinking ability of a human being, the company's senior management tends to eliminate the threat posed by Chen Duo through destruction.
Many people watched the video in disbelief upon hearing this.
"How could this happen! Chen Duo is innocent!"
"How can someone be sentenced to death just because they are in danger?"
However, due to Liao Zhong's persistent efforts, the company ultimately shelved the plan.
In order to allow Chen Duo to leave the company's base and live a normal life, Liao Zhong arranged for her to become a temporary worker at the company.
After becoming a temporary worker, Chen Duo was able to leave the base and go out to see the outside world.
He also wanted to prove to the company's senior management that Chen Duo could be controlled and was not a dangerous factor.
Although the company's upper management agreed to let Chen Duo go out as a temporary worker, they still planted a bomb in her body.
[If Chen Duo loses control, she will detonate the bomb and kill her completely!]
"How could this be...!"
A sentimental young girl watched the video of Chen Duo's tragic experience. Looking at Chen Duo's ignorant and empty eyes, she couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy.
Fortunately, with Liao Zhong's help over the years, Chen Duo has gradually regained the thoughts of a normal person. Although this process will take a long time, Chen Duo continues to move forward on her path to recovery.
Just as everyone was happy for Chen Duo, the words in the video suddenly changed.
However, Liao Zhong never understood what Chen Duo truly wanted; for many years, Chen Duo had lived her life according to other people's arrangements.
Whether she became a Gu-body Saint Child or was brought back to the company by Liao Zhong as a temporary worker, Chen Duo had never made a choice for herself in the past ten years.
Liao Zhong thought Chen Duo simply wanted to leave the company and see the world, but Chen Duo wanted more—the opportunity to make her own choices.
She wanted to choose her own path in life, even if it meant sacrificing her life.
Liao Zhong, who was watching the video, suddenly froze.
"...It was what Chen Duo wanted himself."
He realized that he had never actually asked Chen Duo what she wanted to do.
He subconsciously believed that Chen Duo had no thoughts of her own, and that he had been arranging everything in Chen Duo's life for so many years.
The people in the hospital gradually quieted down as they watched Liao Zhong, who was lost in thought, simply observing him silently.
……
"Waaaaah... Chen Duo is so pitiful! She's a victim too, didn't the country even think about helping her?"
Once Chen Duo's video was released, public opinion on the internet immediately turned against her.
After learning about Chen Duo's past, everyone looked at this poor little girl with pity.
"Yeah, how could the company plant a bomb inside her body! They're clearly taking advantage of the young girl's inability to fight back!"
Especially after Qin Le's video exposed that Nadutong's senior management had planted a bomb inside Chen Duo, almost everyone started criticizing the company's senior management.
The common people have a strong sense of dissatisfaction with the way companies treat temporary workers as tools.
In their eyes, these people are heroes who protect social stability!
And that's how the company treated them!
The numerous debates generated a lot of emotional points for Qin Le, who, watching from behind the scenes as the Nadutong Company was constantly attacked, felt quite satisfied.
Let the public opinion come even more fiercely!
Just as the argument reached its peak, the company released a public announcement.
The content is long and obscure.
The announcements from relevant departments are all rather obscure and difficult to understand.
However, with the help of knowledgeable people, ordinary people were still able to understand the contents of the announcement.
All-Tong Company has announced the launch of a special department – the Extraordinary Person Special Operations Team!
The special operations team is responsible for handling incidents related to superhumans, and one team is established in each of the seven major regions across the country.
Members were recruited by the regional managers themselves, and the previous temporary workers were eliminated.
The temporary worker was transferred to become a member of the special operations team.
……
North China Region.
Xu San looked at the latest notification and clutched his head in anguish.
"It's all the netizens' fault! We're doomed! Baby's records have to be handed over!"
For the temporary workers in the other regions, the establishment of the special operations team was a great thing.
This means they have gained state recognition; after all, not all temporary workers are like Xiao Zizai, a psychopath who wants to kill.
Some of the temporary workers joined simply to make a living.
When Lao Meng, a temporary worker in the Northwest region, saw this notice, he was overjoyed!
Old Meng: "Really?! Wuhu! I've got a government job!"
Old Meng only became a temporary worker to support his own child. He didn't have a permanent position before, but now that he's in the special operations team, each region has been given a dedicated number of permanent positions!
Old Meng went from being a temporary worker to a permanent employee.
