Chapter 204 - I owe you a word
Chapter 204 - I owe you a word
The special operations team's ship, leaving behind the prince and his wife and the Minister of the Interior, took the first batch of pirates and rose from Plan Star into the vast starry sky.
Duan Yunhong was finally transferred out of the solitary cell by Ning Fei again and taken directly to the so-called "key intelligence secret meeting place" - Ning Fei's personal room.
To be honest, we need a confidential place to talk, and there is no place more private than the sheriff's room on the entire ship. To put it bluntly... the police officers who witnessed Ning Fei taking people away all had expressions of confusion, contemplation, and difficulty in describing them.
Obviously they didn't understand what Ning Fei's typical violation of the rules was for, but they didn't question it, and Ning Fei didn't care about their thoughts.
Duan Yunhong doesn't care even more. He originally just wanted to have a "private chat" with Ning Fei, so it didn't matter where. After he followed the person around in twists and turns for a long time, he finally heard the door open and entered a small but obviously living place. He almost immediately realized where he was.
"Commander Ning." Duan Yunhong turned around to look at the owner of the room and asked knowingly, "Where are you taking me?"
"My room." Ning Fei was not shy about it. After the door slid shut, he threw the "leash" in his hand and replied as he walked past him, "Didn't you say that you would only tell me if it was a room without surveillance cameras?"
Duan Yunhong watched him walk to the sofa, turn around and sit down, and his hands were ready to lift his hat again.
This time his hands were handcuffed in front.
"Go ahead." Ning Fei leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the man's face from under his hat. "What is the 'key intelligence' that you claim will never let me down?"
Duan Yunhong was handcuffed, but he didn't look depressed at all. He just said, "Before that, I have two more questions to confirm."
"What?"
"First..." The man lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Fei, "Oren didn't seem to recognize you. Why didn't you recognize each other?"
"..." Ning Fei didn't expect that he would go out of character with the first question. He wanted to play for a while longer, so he replied, "No comment."
"Then tell me, is your goal the same as his?" Duan Yunhong asked, "If so, it doesn't matter if I give it to you, but I can't give it to him. I will do something bad to him, and you don't recognize him anyway, so just pretend you didn't see it."
"Who the hell asked you to give in?" Ning Fei sneered, "You're still trying to do something dirty. You're about to go to jail, and you're still trying to do something to a 'royal secretary and interior minister'?"
Duan Yunhong couldn't help laughing again when he heard him say that super long name again.
“Without your interference, I would have thrown him onto a marginal garbage planet to fend for himself. How could he have had the chance to play the clown there?” The man said, taking two steps forward and finally doing what he had always wanted to do.
——Grabbed the brim of Inspector Ning’s hat and flipped it off.
"you……!"
Ning Fei was about to explode, but Duan Yunhong threw the chain he had thrown away earlier back into his hand: "Okay, play however you like."
Ning Fei: “…Ah?”
"I don't have any information at all. I just tricked you into talking. Didn't you say you wanted to be punished? Then punish me." Duan Yunhong leaned over and looked at him. "You are wearing my positioning mark, which is telling me clearly that you should always locate the world I am in and use me as an ATM to extract my luck, right? Okay, I admit it. But you have to come faster next time. This bargain can only be picked up by you. I am not interested in giving benefits to other debt collectors."
Ning Fei pinched the end of the chain and rubbed it, saying meaningfully: "Do you think I am using your location marker to always go to your world and ask you to work for me for nothing?"
"Who knows? Even if you weren't originally that kind of person, you might have done this on purpose to force me back." Duan Yunhong replied calmly, "Unfortunately, my tolerance limit is a little higher than you think."
"Really?" Ning Fei raised his eyebrows and pulled the chain, "Kneel down."
Duan Yunhong actually knelt down.
Or maybe he had anticipated that Ning Fei would play this trick a long time ago, and delayed implementing it until now, so Duan Yunhong no longer had any psychological burden. It's the posture of a man kneeling...
Ning Fei: "Why are you kneeling like this?"
"Isn't that what you asked for before?" Duan Yunhong replied calmly, "Besides, you brought me to your room and asked me to kneel down in that tone, isn't that what you meant?"
Ning Fei: ...
He had nothing to say. Being bound and kneeling on both knees with legs apart is indeed his XP. He also couldn't deny that he put so many shackles on Duan Yunhong and pulled the chains and beat him because he had this idea in mind. But right now he had something more important to say. As soon as Duan Yunhong arrived, he wanted to step on the accelerator and drive on the highway, leaving Ning Fei speechless.
"Why, now you're the one who always brings up dirty topics?" Ning Fei stepped on Duan Yunhong's knee with his boots and said, "If I really used this identity as the sheriff to do the mission, I would have brought you, a kidnapper, to my private room in front of everyone? Am I sick? Am I making things more difficult for myself?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Yunhong looked up at him, feeling something in his heart, yet he was uncertain.
"you mean……"
"I mean, I want to ask you a question now." Ning Fei retracted his foot, leaned forward, and looked at Duan Yunhong closely. "You only have one chance to answer. If I'm not satisfied... you won't have another chance."
His tone was light, but Duan Yunhong heard the deeper meaning in it and his expression became serious.
The man said, "You ask."
Ning Fei looked at him and said slowly: "If you become my colleague, will we go on missions separately, or will we work together?"
Duan Yunhong was stunned when he heard this.
He had thought about it a lot before, but he never expected that Ning Fei would put this question first. Duan Yunhong couldn't help but subconsciously analyze why Ning Fei asked this question and what his standard answer was. And the way Ning Fei asked the question, was there any hint? Was he staying together when he didn't feel like working?
"Hey, come back to your senses!" Ning Fei raised his hand and patted Duan Yunhong's face, saying coldly, "You are not guessing what answer I want, are you? Don't think about it. Choose one of the two. Just tell me what you think and what your first reaction is!"
Duan Yunhong looked into his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and slowly replied: "...You make it sound easy, how could I not want to? I only have one chance, and only a 50% chance of getting it right. I have waited so hard for this, and I don't want to give up all my efforts because of one choice."
"..." For some reason, Ning Fei suddenly felt that whether the answer was correct or not was not very important.
Even if he had made up his mind before, everything would be over as long as Duan Yunhong gave the wrong answer. But just before Duan Yunhong's answer, Ning Fei couldn't help but have another idea when he saw Duan Yunhong hesitating over the 50% chance of winning.
——Even if he doesn’t choose to join us, so what?
——If I say we want to go together, I will hold his positioning mark. Can he still resist?
——Always waiting for him to make concessions for you, but not doing anything to fight for it yourself, this is really not like yourself. Now that I'm here, do I have to go back empty-handed?
Thinking of this, Ning Fei did not emphasize whether the answer was right or wrong, and just said: "It's useless for you to guess. I don't want to see whether you understand me, but to see your honesty."
Duan Yunhong was stunned for a moment: "You mean... I have been judged as the loser?"
What Ning Fei wanted to see was honesty, but Duan Yunhong kept hesitating and not giving an answer. Isn't this contrary to Ning Fei's idea?
"If I say yes, what do you think?" Ning Fei raised an eyebrow, took off the brooch given by Duan Yunhong, and turned it over between his fingers, "Are you still unwilling to give an answer?"
Duan Yunhong couldn't help but follow the brooch with his eyes, as if Ning Fei was going to return it to him at any time.
"...Okay, I'll give you the answer." Duan Yunhong lowered his eyes, but soon raised them again and looked at Ning Fei, "Since it's too late, I'll just say what I want to say. For me, there is actually no other possibility for your question -
"I've already asked to be your colleague, how can I let you work in a different world?"
After hearing this answer, Ning Fei thought, "As expected," and suddenly realized that a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
He subconsciously asked, "Are you sure? You said I have a strong desire for control. If you spend a long time with someone like this, your patience may not be as good as you think."
"What makes you assume about me? I myself won't assume whether I will change in the future." Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows, "I want an identity, but not the identity of 'member of the Administration'. I don't care about this. If we don't work together and go to different worlds separately, each time we will be three to five years apart... Oh, according to your ability, it's usually two to three years, but this is enough for you to have fun. As long as you want, I know best how fast you can hook up with people."
Ning Fei raised an eyebrow: "Don't forget that we hooked up that way too."
"Yes. So I regard myself as a 'lesson learned' and cannot let it happen to someone else." Duan Yunhong said confidently, "You have a strong desire for control. Coincidentally, I also have a strong sense of territory. I don't want to let you go beyond my reach."
"Tsk, aren't you talking a lot of nonsense right now?" Ning Fei leaned closer to him, "Then what were you hesitating about for so long just now? If I don't agree to be a partner, will you accept it?"
Duan Yunhong said: "I will accept it first, and then find a way to turn it around."
"... Humph, a very self-centered answer, but this is indeed your method." Ning Fei tossed the brooch, "Then I have a second question, oh no, it's a warning."
"What?"
"If we... have a bad relationship in the future, I will hunt you down, target you, and do everything I can to frame you." Ning Fei paused in his throwing and catching. "Even so, are you willing?"
"I have nothing to be unwilling about. Rather, if something unexpected happens in the future, I would rather you target me." Duan Yunhong paused and confirmed, "However, your two questions are based on the same premise. So can I assume... are you going to give me a response?"
Ning Fei didn't answer immediately.
The two looked at each other silently, as if they had said everything they wanted, and as if there was nothing more to say. A few seconds later, Ning Fei threw the brooch in his hand towards Duan Yunhong.
Duan Yunhong caught it subconsciously.
The man finally reacted after grabbing the brooch in his hand. He frowned and looked at the brooch, then looked at Ning Fei: "What do you mean?"
The positioning marker is the most important and almost the only external connection between two people. Every time the two of them separated, as long as Ning Fei still had this thing with him, Duan Yunhong at least had something to rely on in his heart. Now Ning Fei suddenly returned it to him, and Duan Yunhong didn't want to make any arbitrary assumptions about the meaning of this behavior. Or rather, he refuses to believe what “disconnection” means.
"What do you mean? Hahaha, you can be this cowardly sometimes!" Ning Fei suddenly laughed out loud, which was completely different from his previous state when he pretended to be serious and deliberately made things difficult. He relaxed and felt happy. Even though Duan Yunhong hadn't figured it out yet, he could understand Ning Fei's state and knew that he was thinking in the wrong direction. But even so, Duan Yunhong still put his hand on Ning Fei's knee and stared at him.
"Explain clearly." The man pinched Ning Fei's knee, "I want you to explain it clearly in your own words."
"You are really smart." Ning Fei slapped his hand away, with a teasing tone, "You obviously got the point a long time ago, but you were stupid and didn't think of the real reason."
"……What?"
"Why didn't I recognize Oren?" Ning Fei raised his eyebrows. "Are you stupid? Even if the members of the Administration don't know each other, as long as we are on the same mission, he and I will definitely be informed of each other's identities."
"I know, that's why I have doubts." Duan Yunhong replied, "So according to what you said...you are not in the same mission?"
Ning Fei patted his face: "Finally it's right."
"So what is your mission?"
"Why, you want to help me?"
"Either help you or find trouble for you, choose one."
"Tsk, you're getting arrogant right away, Duan Yunhong." Ning Fei raised her foot and stepped on the man's thigh, "Sit down."
Duan Yunhong didn't understand what was going on, but he knelt down as he was told. In fact, his legs were a little numb from kneeling, but he could still bear it, so he didn't mention it.
However, Ning Fei stood up, walked forward, and sat down.
Face to face, the weight on the legs increased, and Duan Yunhong's feeling... can only be described as painful and happy.
He tried to lift up his handcuffed hands, put them over Ning Fei's head, and then moved them all the way down to his lower back. Ning Fei didn't resist, so she felt even happier.
Ning Fei took the brooch back and then put it on Duan Yunhong's chest.
"10:18 in the capital of the Luopang Empire." Ning Fei glanced at his communicator and said leisurely, "You are under arrest, Duan Yunhong."
"This posture?" Duan Yunhong's hand finally touched the belt of the uniform, and the scene he had imagined before was already churning in his mind. "Are you sure, who arrests who?"
"On behalf of the Space-Time Administration, I arrest you."
"..." Duan Yunhong was stunned, then looked down at the brooch.
"It's too late to react now." Ning Fei patted Duan Yunhong's chest with the brooch, "If you wear it, you will be locked up by the Administration. Today I will forcibly take you away from this world. I'm not here to urge the time traveler to pay back the debt, but to take you away, you bandit!"
Duan Yunhong was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly pushed Ning Fei away.
"…Is that what I meant?" He confirmed. "Is that what I meant?!"
Ning Fei snorted and laughed: "Have you completely lost your mind? Why are you still asking? Then I'll say 'no'."
"That means 'yes'." Duan Yunhong replied quickly, "You just admitted that you want to be with me!"
"We are going on a mission together!"
"No difference." Duan Yunhong's brain suddenly came alive, or rather, his instinct made him seize this opportunity. Even if his mind hasn't fully analyzed the actual situation, he will take the initiative: "Do I still owe you a word? I won't be stubborn about this, I..."
Ning Fei raised her hand to cover his mouth for no apparent reason: "Fuck, don't be so cheesy!"
"……Love you."
The muffled voice and muffled sentences were yet extremely clear.
Ning Fei was obviously frozen, and he didn't let go of his hand until Duan Yunhong kissed his palm.
Duan Yunhong stared at him: "You have nothing to say?"
Ning Fei seemed to be burned by his gaze and turned away, but there was nowhere to escape. As Duan Yunhong's questioning gaze got closer and closer, Ning Fei finally gave up and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
"What?"
Ning Fei hugged his neck, closed her eyes, and pressed against him: "I... have already pulled you into my room, hurry up! I have to leave today!"
Duan Yunhong: “…”
Duan Yunhong: "...You go down first, your legs are numb."
