Chapter 197 - I Want to Leave
Chapter 197 - I Want to Leave
When Ning Fei was brought into the General Staff Office, a middle-aged man in a dark green uniform was already waiting inside. When Ning Fei walked in, the man didn't stand up or say a word. He just looked at Ning Fei unconcealedly, without any friendliness in his eyes.
Ning Fei certainly noticed this oppression, and his reaction was - no reaction.
He took a quick glance after entering the room, then ignored the man behind the desk and walked straight towards the sofa in the reception area. He even sat down on the single sofa, crossed his legs, looked at his watch and brooch, without even glancing at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man froze.
He originally wanted to give Ning Fei a warning, just waiting for Ning Fei to come in and speak to him in panic, so that he could take advantage of the situation and start to oppress him. However, Ning Fei's unconventional approach made the middle-aged man not know how to react.
The two of them stayed in the room in silence for a while, perhaps a few minutes, or perhaps a long time. Ning Fei didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, nor did he look around. He just lowered his head and carefully observed his cuffs. It seemed that if he was not called, he would be able to keep looking like this forever. However, he did not turn his head to look at the middle-aged man, because he was right in front of the middle-aged man's sight. The more he saw him sitting there calmly, the more annoyed the middle-aged man became, his rhythm disrupted.
Finally, the middle-aged man couldn't help but speak first: "Mr. Ning is really leisurely. Are you here to vacation in our staff office?"
"Who knows? It's not like I asked to come here on my own." Ning Fei replied leisurely while adjusting his cuffs, and then continued to be quiet.
"..." The middle-aged man waited for two seconds, and seeing that he really didn't say anything, he couldn't help but question him, "Oh? In that case, did you take Cheng Lingqi's mother away without permission?"
"This... sir." Ning Fei finally turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of the middle-aged man, "What does this have to do with you? She's not your mother."
"Be more polite when you speak, Ning Fei. This is not Yucheng where you are so comfortable!" The middle-aged man stood up and said, "This is the General Staff Office of Shashi. I am the general staff here! I am inviting you to my office and asking you polite questions. You'd better know your place and not refuse a toast!"
Yes, this middle-aged man was none other than Staff Officer Xu who had visited Duan Yunhong earlier and had been met with a complete setback. It was also he who gave the order that if Duan Yunhong's car was seen outside, it should be stopped and the people inside should be taken to the General Staff Office. But when the people were brought to him, only Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong's driver showed up; Cheng's mother and Cheng Mengxiao were nowhere to be found.
In addition, Duan Yunhong and Ning Fei both had bad attitudes, and Staff Officer Xu kept running into obstacles with them. He was so angry that it was difficult for him to remain calm.
——Just a staff officer. With such arrogant tone, I thought he was the chief of staff.
Ning Fei sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm. He turned his head and looked directly into the other person's eyes: "Then Mr. Shashi's staff officer, what does it have to do with you whether I took Cheng Lingqi's mother away or not?"
"Adjutant Cheng has been kidnapped by bandits, and his life or death is in danger. We have the responsibility to protect his family. At this critical moment, you forcibly took his mother away without even saying hello. What was your intention?" Staff Officer Xu walked towards him, his boots making the wooden floor creak. "Where did you take him? Did you send him there in an attempt to threaten Cheng Lingqi to rebel?!"
Ning Fei thought to himself, you really guessed it, but it's too late. After all the people were sent to that organization, they only thought of intercepting them. It's like you're the one who's feeding the child now that he's dead.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Staff Officer." Ning Fei shrugged. "I just took a ride out, and when I came back I was brought to the Staff Office. You saw that there was no Madam Cheng in the car. If you ask me about her whereabouts, I can't answer you."
"Don't play dumb." Staff Officer Xu stopped in front of Ning Fei and stared down at him. "There was only one car from the Cheng family this morning, and that was the one you were in. Do you dare to say that Madam Cheng wasn't in the car at that time?"
Ning Fei raised his eyelids to look at him and said leisurely, "He's not here."
"Then where is she?" Staff Officer Xu sneered, "Duan Yunhong said she wasn't at Duan's house, you said she wasn't in the car, but she came with you, so where do you say she is?"
"Who knows? Maybe he went to see Cheng Mengxiao, or maybe he just went out for a walk this morning." Ning Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "It's possible that he has already walked back to Duan's house. Why don't you go and take another look?"
"Don't talk nonsense anymore. I know she didn't go back to the Duan family!" Staff Officer Xu said coldly, "I'm telling you the truth. Our people are monitoring the Duan family at all times. We know who comes in and out. If she went back to the Duan family, someone would have notified me. You don't need to make up stories here!"
"What if he just came back and your people haven't had time to come to report yet?" Ning Fei smiled, leaning on the armrest, still looking calm, "Why don't you call the Duan family and ask Madam Cheng. If she answers, it means he's home, and your sentry won't have to make a trip."
"What are you trying to do to me?" Staff Officer Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at Ning Fei, his eyes were gloomy, "What would you say if she didn't answer the phone?"
"Just call first and we'll talk later." Ning Fei didn't give him any assurances, but just provoked him, "It doesn't matter how much time you spend on a phone call. After the call, we won't have to waste time arguing about whether she's there or not, right? How come such a big staff office doesn't even have a phone?"
"Mr. Ning is very eloquent, but this is Shashi. Just relying on your eloquence as a businessman won't work." Staff Officer Xu leaned forward slightly and sneered, "I'll go make a call now. If Madam Cheng really answers the phone, it's fine. If not... I'm afraid Mr. Ning will have to stay with us for a few more days."
After saying that, he straightened up, turned around and left. The General Staff Office did have a telephone, but this office didn't have one, so Staff Officer Xu had to go out and make a call.
Ning Fei simply changed his posture from leaning on the armrest to leaning on his raised legs, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
——Mr. Duan, I have found a way to tell you the news.
***
Of course Mrs. Cheng didn't answer the phone.
But Duan Yunhong said on the phone that he knew where Mrs. Cheng was and would send her to the General Staff Office immediately.
Staff Officer Xu was very confused. Duan Yunhong seemed indifferent in the morning, so why was he so cooperative now? However, he would not suffer any loss, and he did not think Duan Yunhong would dare to cause any trouble in the General Staff Office, so he agreed to Duan Yunhong's proposal.
Then less than twenty minutes after I hung up the phone, Duan Yunhong arrived.
At this time, it was obvious that he had walked out as soon as he hung up the phone. But if you say he took it seriously, he was the only one who entered the room, and there was no sign of Mrs. Cheng, who was promised to be brought along.
Staff Officer Xu was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Duan Yunhong coming alone. He really couldn't understand why these two people, one of them insisted on calling and saying that he could find Mrs. Cheng, and the other insisted on bringing Mrs. Cheng over, but in the end neither of them happened. What were they up to? After thinking it over, Staff Officer Xu could only come to one conclusion.
"You two, are you kidding me here?!"
"Don't be so excited, Staff Officer Xu." Duan Yunhong said, but he looked at Ning Fei, "He has all the information. Let me talk to him alone. Maybe he will give you a satisfactory result."
"Boss Duan would be so kind?" Staff Officer Xu obviously didn't want to believe them anymore and questioned, "What tricks are you trying to play?"
"We both came in alone and were searched. How can we still cause chaos in your territory?" Duan Yunhong replied, "Give us some time to analyze the pros and cons, Chief of Staff Xu, be patient. If I didn't come here with sincerity, why would I fall into your trap? Isn't it better to stay away?"
He is right.
Staff Officer Xu pondered for a moment and finally agreed to his request. However, it was impossible for Staff Officer Xu to give up his office for them to have a private chat, so they had to go to another meeting room.
So Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong were taken to a meeting room next door. The soldier who led the way closed the door from outside and then stood guard at the door.
"…So, what are your plans?"
Ning Fei pulled the chair closest to the door without any hesitation and sat down: "I asked him to call you to pass on a message to you. You actually came here alone, what are you confident you have prepared?"
"I don't have any backup plan." Duan Yunhong also pulled the chair next to him and sat side by side with him. "That Xu guy didn't let me talk to you directly, so I came here to listen to your arrangements. After all, it's not my mission."
Ning Fei leaned back in her chair and turned to look at him: "What if I say I want to go out?"
"Then we can offer them some conditions, pay them a little more money, and make some insignificant promises. It will be very easy to walk out of here." Duan Yunhong thought for a while, "But they will definitely keep a close eye on us. If you want to completely get out of their surveillance, you have to think of other ways..."
Ning Fei suddenly interrupted him: "What if I say I want to leave?"
Duan Yunhong raised an eyebrow.
Ning Fei thought that he didn't fully understand what he meant, so he added another explanation: "I mean, I want to settle this debt collection task and leave this world..."
Pop.
Duan Yunhong took something out of his pocket and put it on the table in front of Ning Fei.
After the man's hand moved away, Ning Fei took a closer look and found that it was the brooch that Duan Yunhong had used to locate the object.
"Ha, you actually brought it with you." Ning Fei picked up the brooch and turned it over in his hand, "Did you guess that I wanted to leave?"
"When I realized that you were the one reporting the news to me, I thought that you might want to leave immediately. You said before that once you send them to the organization over there, you don't want to waste time. Now, it's basically done." Duan Yunhong turned his head and looked at him, "So, are you leaving?"
Ning Fei stopped what he was doing, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally made a decision.
"... Let's go." He also turned around and met Duan Yunhong's gaze. "It's a bit troublesome to get out and get away from these people's harassment. The main thing is that it's no longer related to Cheng Lingqi. The input and return are not proportional. It's better to leave here. Once we leave, the traceability of these people will be missing an important link, and it can also increase the safety factor of Cheng Lingqi and others."
"You always have a precise grasp of your tasks." Duan Yunhong replied, "In that case, let's go."
Ning Fei hesitated for a second, then asked, "Then you..."
"You just said 'we', why should I stay?"
"I just said it smoothly."
"Then I won't stay either." Duan Yunhong looked straight into Ning Fei's eyes, as if he was conveying some information with his eyes in addition to words. "You know why I came back here and stayed until now. If this reason disappears, then what's the point of me staying?"
Ning Fei didn't respond. The corner of the brooch was on the conference table, turning back and forth, making a "da, da, da" sound.
"Tsk, is it so difficult? I didn't say you have to make a decision before you leave." Duan Yunhong grabbed the brooch with his hand and pressed it against Ning Fei's chest, "Go back and think about it slowly. I... only have one request."
Ning Fei subconsciously asked: "What?"
"When you come up with a result, tell me no matter what it is?" Duan Yunhong squeezed his fist a little harder, "Or you can call me in front of you and tell me. Anyway, you threw this thing away afterwards, and I can't find you again, so don't be afraid that I will continue to pester you. As long as you still have a conscience by then, at least don't keep me hanging in endless waiting."
Ning Fei didn't struggle, but just snorted and laughed: "Are you sure that if the result is not what you want, you won't kill me immediately or ruin my mission directly?"
"uncertain."
Ning Fei raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not made of clay, so I can't possibly not have a temper, right?" Duan Yunhong said frankly, "If this is not the result I want, then it's not bad to make a mess for you that will make you remember it for the rest of your life."
"My life... who knows how long that is. It's not easy for me to remember something for that long." Ning Fei broke away from Duan Yunhong's hand, stuffed the brooch into his pocket, and reached out to grab Duan Yunhong's tie, pulling him closer. "Any parting words, Boss Duan?"
Duan Yunhong knew what he was going to do next and smiled softly: "I don't have any words of encouragement, but I want you to remember this taste."
After saying this, the man turned his head and kissed her deeply and actively.
