Chapter 265: Chapter 285: The Curtain Falls (2nd Update)
"Are you even qualified to represent the Dragon Team?"
Is there anything that slaps harder than that statement?
It’s like, in a government building, when suddenly a department head jumps out and says, "I can represent the whole government." But does he qualify?
Now, Fang Yi’s rhetorical question was questioning Nangong Feiyu, what makes you qualified to represent the Dragon Team?
Nangong Feiyu’s face turned ugly. Wanting to regain control and save face, he shouted angrily under Fang Yi’s contemptuous gaze, "What are you waiting for! Arrest him now! He’s a terrorist, why aren’t you acting yet!"
However, the skill Fang Yi had just displayed—effortlessly taking down two Jiaolong Guards—had deterred the others. At this moment, they hesitated, not daring to approach and arrest Fang Yi.
Even if they were to arrest him, they had to consider their own capabilities.
No one is moving?
This nearly made Nangong Feiyu spit blood in anger.
In fact, this couldn’t be blamed on anyone else but Nangong Feiyu himself.
Primarily, even though Nangong Feiyu held a position at the Manager, acting as a supervisor, he genuinely had no prestige nor the ability to command respect.
Besides, to any discerning person, it was clear that Fang Yi was not a terrorist.
"I’m so infuriated! I’ve seen people sling mud before, but I’ve never seen anyone do it like you, you shameless bastard!" Yao Bo shouted furiously, ready to charge.
However, Fang Yi raised his hand, stopping the enraged Yao Bo.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen frowned, seemingly deep in thought. Suddenly, he stepped forward and said, "Fang Yi, even if we can’t represent the Dragon Team, your unbridled actions, doing whatever you want, are indeed making you an enemy of the Dragon Team. Please consider your identity carefully, and let’s not make this too awkward for both sides; otherwise, it won’t end well for anyone."
"If the hard approach doesn’t work, you switch to the soft one. Have you no shame?" Li Xue coldly mocked.
Lin Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he said, "I’m just talking about the implications, Fang Yi. I hope you will think it over." Though his tone seemed calm, the underlying message was urging Fang Yi not to act rashly and to be aware that the Dragon Team stood behind them.
The atmosphere instantly stiffened, dead silent.
Just then, footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man accompanied by a group of armed personnel approached.
"What’s going on here? Does everyone here have too much free time!" The voice was full of energy and authority.
Zhao Guosheng stepped forward, and viewing him as a lifeline, Nangong Feiyu, who shared the Manager connection with Zhao Guosheng and whose family had good relations with a senior relative of Zhao’s.
Nangong Feiyu, with a relieved face, said, "Uncle Zhao, you’ve arrived just in time. There’s someone here resisting arrest."
"Daring to resist arrest?" Zhao Guosheng sneered, "Have they eaten the hearts of a bear and a leopard?"
Hearing Zhao Guosheng speak thus, Nangong Feiyu was even more delighted, saying, "Yes, he dares to resist! Uncle Zhao, this guy is just being stubborn; quickly, have your people arrest him—he is the terrorist behind this recent terror incident."
As he spoke, Nangong Feiyu pointed his index finger at Fang Yi.
But in the next moment, Nangong Feiyu’s index finger was caught and twisted upwardly, snapping with the sound of breaking bones.
"Ah!!!"
Nangong Feiyu had barely reacted, nor expected Fang Yi to suddenly strike, and he immediately screamed like a slaughtered pig.
Zhao Guosheng’s face drastically changed; he rushed forward, about to order the arrest, when suddenly, Fang Yi turned his head, smiling, and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, nice to see you’re well."
The order about to be issued was abruptly swallowed back by Zhao Guosheng.
Zhao Guosheng’s heart shuddered; he had never expected it to be Fang Yi.
Zhao Guosheng forced a smile uglier than a cry, "Fang... Fang Yi... how could it be you?"
Fang Yi said, "Deputy Director Zhao, a person of your stature seems to forget easily, don’t you know where I work?"
Zhao Guosheng wanted to slap his own head. His memory was so poor. According to the investigative reports, Fang Yi worked at Longtu Group, yet he had forgotten. Thus, this terrorist incident must certainly be related to him.
However, Zhao Guosheng knew that Fang Yi must not have orchestrated this terrorist incident—an obvious conclusion to anyone with eyes.
Quick-witted as ever, Zhao Guosheng immediately guessed the gist of the situation before him.
Sighing, Zhao Guosheng said, "I’m getting old; my memory isn’t so good. Rest assured, I’ll thoroughly investigate this and ensure your innocence isn’t compromised." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Fang Yi gave a faint smile and said, "Then I’ll leave it in the capable hands of Deputy Director Zhao."
After speaking, Fang Yi’s gaze drifted, intentionally or unintentionally, to Yao Bo and Yao Dong.
Zhao Guosheng could not help noticing and immediately ordered the handcuffs removed. Fang Yi, without another word, took Shen Binan and the others upstairs.
"Ah~~~~Ah~~~~"
On the ground, Nangong Feiyu, who was half-kneeling and still screaming in pain, had his index finger brutally broken by Fang Yi. Initially, it didn’t feel like much, but now the pain was unbearable, as if it were tearing his heart and lungs apart.
Nangong Feiyu had thought Zhao Guosheng would staunchly take his side; he hadn’t expected such a swift change of attitude, nor the calm respect shown to Fang Yi, which fueled a fiery rage in him.
But Zhao Guosheng ignored the agonized Nangong Feiyu on the ground and turned to look at Lin Chen, saying, "Lin Chen, it’s good to have ideas and initiative, but I was assigned by higher-ups to handle this incident. Why are you interfering?"
Lin Chen bowed his head, "Deputy Director, I was also following orders from above."
Zhao Guosheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I won’t ask who gave you the orders, but remember, there are lines you should not cross."
With that, Zhao Guosheng left with his men.
Watching Zhao Guosheng’s retreating figure, Nangong Feiyu slowly got up and said, "This Zhao Guosheng really thinks he’s someone important; he’s just a Deputy Director in Manager’s subordination in the Dragon Team, and he’ll be ousted sooner or later."
Lin Chen, standing beside Nangong Feiyu, said indifferently, "But he is still a Deputy Director."
Nangong Feiyu coldly replied, "I’ll make him step down sooner or later!"
...
Back in the office, Li Xue immediately came over asking how Fang Yi was, if the big boss was taken down, if the mission was cleared. Fang Yi looked towards Shen Binan, seeing her calm demeanor and deciding not to say anything, he told Li Xue that the mission had been completed successfully.
Li Xue was thrilled, immediately asking Fang Yi where the big boss was, eager to apprehend him and achieve a significant accomplishment.
However, Fang Yi remained vague. He had severely injured the opponent, but the opponent had ultimately escaped, which disappointed Li Xue. But soon after, Li Xue came to terms with it, as she was naturally optimistic.
"Hmm, even though the big boss escaped, you still achieved a great feat, not bad," Li Xue said as if she was a leader, patting Fang Yi’s shoulder. Being half a head shorter than Fang Yi, this gesture betrayed her adorable clumsiness.
Afterward, Li Xue left as she had many other matters to handle and couldn’t stay long.
After Li Xue had left, Fang Yi inquired Yao Dong and Yao Bo about the status of the Dragon Soul members; only then did he learn that the Dragon Soul members had been withdrawn before the arrival of the Dragon Team members.
"Right, Brother Yi, there’s something," Yao Bo spoke.
"Go on."
"You had previously promised thirty thousand to each Dragon Soul member, about that..."
