Chapter 191 - Just Be Obedient
"Captured?"
Ning Fei really didn't react at first: "You mean... captured by your organization?"
"It's not 'our organization', but what you said is indeed correct." Duan Yunhong said, "Why, do you think this proposal is strange?"
"Yes, a little bit." Ning Fei replied, "But I am still very patient to listen to the reasons for Boss Duan's proposal. Tell me about it."
"You don't understand the style of this organization, so it's normal that you didn't think of this." Duan Yunhong explained to him slowly, "The rule of this organization is to treat prisoners well. Moreover, Cheng Lingqi is Liu Fan's adjutant and his position is very important. It is inevitable to treat him well and protect him. Let me put it this way, if Cheng Lingqi encounters a situation where penicillin is scarce, the organization will find a way to give it to him first even if its own supplies are insufficient."
"…Is it true?" Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly. "There is such an organization. I only learned a little bit about the background, but you know, that's mostly from Cheng Lingqi's perspective. I really didn't expect you to go to this extent, a conciliatory policy, huh?"
He tapped Duan Yunhong's chest as he spoke. Duan Yunhong did not correct him and replied directly: "It can't be considered as appeasement. I just hope to unite all the forces that can be united, so that we can at least have less trouble with the enemy. For the prisoners, we generally treat them well. Anyway, we will not abuse them, and we will not kill them for a disagreement. For someone as valuable as Cheng Lingqi, we hope that he can also shine in the organization. After all, there is always a shortage of talents, and one more is one more."
Ning Fei said: "But the original owner's wish was to stay away from the flames of war. Can this be realized?"
"Of course, the organization won't force him to do anything. He can live like an ordinary person in the town controlled by the organization. If that's not far enough, the organization has many controlled areas in remote mountainous areas. He can go there to feed the chickens and walk the dog if he wants, and no one will care about him." Duan Yunhong said, "And his mother, the organization can also take her in. As for his sister, she's already half a member of the organization, and she will become more important because they want to win him over, so the safety factor will naturally increase."
"Is this really reliable, Boss Duan? If you say so confidently, I really believe it." Ning Fei touched his chin. "Cheng Lingqi is not smart now. Even if I remind him to be on guard, I am afraid he can't escape the trap. I was considering faking his death before, but it's a bit unconventional and difficult to control. If your statement is reliable, it's better to let him cooperate secretly and be captured under partially controllable circumstances. Then quietly take his mother to the control area of your organization, and I think my mission will be basically passed."
"This is the style of the organization. I'm sure of it. I saw it with my own eyes." Duan Yunhong replied, "I think it's safer to be captured voluntarily than to wait for Liu Fan to suspect and frame me. After all, Cheng Mengxiao's relationship with the organization seems inseparable, and now we have to take Chen Lili away. Liu Fan is suspicious by nature, and it's not feasible to keep gaining his trust. Even if you want to fake your death, it's much easier to fake your death in the organization than under Liu Fan's nose. Even if Liu Fan suspects, it's hard for him to verify it, right?"
"But how can we control this matter to the point where the danger is minimal..." Ning Fei lowered his eyes and thought, "Even if Cheng Lingqi is willing to accidentally enter the firepower range of your organization, we have to ensure that he will not be accidentally injured..."
"Have you forgotten what we just said?" Duan Yunhong raised his hand and stroked Ning Fei's hair. "Cheng Mengxiao is already half a member of the organization, and Shen Zejun is basically a member of the organization. As long as they leak out Cheng Lingqi's importance and schedule information, they can form a kind of 'tacit understanding'."
"What a unique 'inside and outside cooperation'!" Ning Fei clapped his hands and sighed, "It has to be you, Boss Duan. It's different to have a 'local' to help me think of a solution!"
Duan Yunhong held his hands outside and said, "I helped you so much, shouldn't you give me something in return?"
"for example?"
"For example, the bet penalty for returning the book is void, right?"
"Hehe." Ning Fei raised his eyebrows and slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, "No."
***
Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong spent an entire night discussing their plan, and the next day they went to talk to Cheng Lingqi face to face.
Poor Cheng Lingqi came here with great urgency to question Ning Fei, but before he could figure out what was going on with the kid from Pingdu, he was shocked by Ning Fei's bold plan.
"Huh? Deliberately allowed to be captured?!" Cheng Lingqi's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? Won't this make me die faster?"
"You're wrong. Being captured actually provides a chance of survival." Ning Fei retorted, and then repeated what Duan Yunhong had told him about the style of another organization.
Cheng Lingqi was skeptical: "…Is this true? This is different from what I know."
"You have been in this camp for a long time, so it is normal that you don't understand." Ning Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "But think about it, if they are really not capable, will Cheng Mengxiao give up your relationship as the admiral's adjutant and turn to the other side? Shen Zejun is also a businessman. If your side has a bright future and the other side is really incompetent, would he still support their activities with his own money?"
After a pause, Ning Fei came up with an idea: "Maybe you can give them a call to confirm if this is what I said."
"Are you stupid? They won't just admit to me that they're on that side."
"You're stupid. I didn't ask you to force them to answer your questions. You just need to ask them indirectly about their impression of the organization. If you can't even do this, you'll have no chance of surviving under Liu Fan." Ning Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "You can also tell them on the phone that your current situation is very difficult and that you might be about to do something dangerous... Anyway, let Cheng Mengxiao and the others remind the organization over there to prepare. Preparing in advance will increase the safety factor."
Cheng Lingqi said: "Don't make it sound like you've already started implementing this plan!"
Seeing that he still looked unconvinced, Ning Fei's originally relaxed expression gradually became serious, and his tone became much colder: "I say, you don't think I'm here to be your friend, military advisor, or psychologist, do you?"
Cheng Lingqi didn't react for a moment: "...what?"
"I'm still at the 'suggestion' stage, but I suggest you don't let me move on to the 'enforcement' stage." Ning Fei stared into his eyes and said slowly, "You won't forget why I appeared in front of you, right? I was sent here to collect the debt because the probability of you completing the task alone is too low. The method of debt collection is not to give you gentle suggestions, wait for your choice, and finally fully support your decision.
"Instead, once we find a way to achieve our goal, we will force you onto that path and onto the end of the mission.
"This is the meaning of 'debt collection'."
By the end of his speech, his momentum had completely suppressed Cheng Lingqi, and there was no longer any feeling of the friendly communication they had before. Cheng Lingqi even felt that Ning Fei looked inexplicably more terrifying than Liu Fan. But due to his manly nature, Cheng Lingqi was still unwilling to be overpowered by Ning Fei, and couldn't help but retort: "So confident? Can your debt collection method guarantee 100% success?"
"I don't know about others." Ning Fei smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, "but for me, it's basically 100% successful."
"'Basically'?" Cheng Lingqi caught the loophole in his words, "So, you have failed before? How did you fail? What right do you have to force me to do this?"
"Failure..." Ning Fei paused for a moment, then suddenly revealed a vicious smile, "It was because I accidentally killed the time traveler."
Cheng Lingqi:? ! ? ! ? !
"Then why are you asking me to die?!" The adjutant almost jumped up, "Isn't this a trap that will get me killed?"
"He didn't die because of my debt repayment plan." Ning Fei remained calm and said something more frightening, "I used a little trick to punish him. I didn't expect that he completely ignored my punishment and insisted on acting as usual despite the punishment, and then he died in his own 'bad luck'."
"Punishment?" Cheng Lingqi frowned and asked, "How come I don't know what other punishment methods you have... You won't punish me secretly, right?"
Ning Fei smiled and said, "Of course I won't punish you secretly. If you don't know that I am punishing you, then your suffering is meaningless."
"So what kind of punishment do you know? It's not some sadistic lynching, is it?"
"Ha, I'm not too idle to do something that tiring." Ning Fei lowered his eyes and smiled, "The means of punishment is to take away part of the luck that the original owner temporarily lent you."
"Original owner... what? Luck?" Cheng Lingqi was still confused, "What is that?"
"In terms that you can understand, you can think of it as a kind of luck." Ning Fei said meaningfully, "When your luck is particularly bad, you are likely to encounter bad luck, your health will deteriorate, and even the people around you will start to go downhill. What extreme situations will people encounter when they are at their most unlucky... You can use all your imagination."
Cheng Lingqi sighed, "The most unlucky thing is that drinking cold water will cause a toothache, and walking on the road will be hit by a billboard. Isn't that the fate of the time traveler you mentioned?"
"Ha, that's the limit. But I will be more careful now, and try not to kill the time traveler, otherwise my performance will be reduced to zero, and the gain will not make up for the loss..." Ning Fei smiled and looked at Cheng Lingqi, "How about it, do you want to try if you are unlucky, will you kill Liu Fan as well?"
"...No need!" Cheng Lingqi interrupted immediately, "Kill him, but only if I also die of bad luck!"
"Who knows--" Ning Fei smiled, leaned back in his chair and looked at him, "Then Adjutant Cheng, I have explained it clearly, are you willing to cooperate?"
"Do I have the right to choose another answer?" Cheng Lingqi couldn't help scratching his head twice, frowning, and leaning towards Ning Fei.
"Okay, I can be captured at your command."
"But can you promise to save my life?"
