Instead, those who surrendered were placed on several modified spaceships, and they were prepared to be taken to nearby countries and notified to accept investigation and trial.

Such an arrangement made the rescued people very dissatisfied, and they even launched a protest. They believed that the Tianyi Mercenary Group arrested small criminals and made them more ruthless, and they should also arrest the big ones and bring them to trial.

In response to the public’s protests, the Tianyi Mercenary Group said that they are a mercenary group and they only do things for money. If they want to bring those people back, it is not impossible as long as they can afford the money.

This immediately stopped the protesting crowd. All those who had been held hostage by pirates were ordinary people. Those who had money had already paid ransom and released them, while those who had no money could only ask their families for help to raise money for the ransom. If they were asked to pay the Tianyi Mercenary Group to capture those pirate bosses, where would they find the money to pay?

The rescued people will be arranged to go to nearby countries, and after being sent to the colonies, they will be allowed to seek help from the embassy themselves.

On the other side, Yue Yangchun protested to Long Fei in his office, asking why he didn't kill the leader and important members of the Xieya Pirates? He also accused Long Fei of not keeping his promise.

"I promised you that I would destroy the Evil Fang Pirates that killed your parents, but I didn't promise you that I would kill all the pirates."

“But we can’t let the boss go!” Yue Yangchun said excitedly.

"They used their vast wealth to buy back their lives."

"Even if that's the case, boss, you can take their money and then kill them."

"I promised someone, but after the fact, I blamed them. This goes against my principles, and I can't do it."

"Then boss, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountains, and letting him wait for a chance to take revenge on you?"

"Do you think they can still stir up any more trouble? Even if they can make a comeback, our Tianyi Mercenary Group will be even stronger than it is now. By then, they will be like sheep that have been let out to rest. We will slaughter them when they are fat."

After Long Fei finished speaking, he pushed two bank cards in front of Ye Yangchun.

"Take these two bank cards, one for you and one for your sister. You and your sister can use the money to buy property and live a peaceful life in the future."

Yue Yangchun took the two bank cards and put them in his pocket.

Long Fei turned his boss chair and looked out the window, as if talking to himself, "The Tianyi Mercenary Group is always a mercenary group. Mercenaries are always armed organizations that accept commissions and do things for money. They are not like those national armies that are supported by the country and the people. Without money, how can they support others? Without money, how can the mercenary group continue to operate?"

Yue Yangchun understood what his boss meant. The Tianyi Mercenary Group had been taking on numerous commissions and earning a lot of money, but once a battle broke out, the Tianyi Mercenary Group would be responsible for any losses. They would have to pay work injury compensation and consolation money for casualties, and any damage to aircraft, warships, etc. would have to be repaired at a cost.

There is also the development of the mercenary group and the salaries of the members, all of which require money.

On the surface, people like Fales use the money to save their lives, but in reality, the boss takes the money for the subsequent operation and development of the mercenary group.

"The Gundam that is currently on hold also needs money. This money can be used to continue the development and manufacture of the Gundam that is currently on hold."

Yue Yangchun's eyes lit up, that was a great MS, he could experience driving and developing a new Gundam. His boss took the money for the shelved Gundam, so he didn't mind the boss letting Fales go.

Long Fei waved to Yue Yangchun, and Yue Yangchun left the office.

Most of what Long Fei just said was true, but the part about the Gundam that had been shelved for development was fake.

Although the suspension of development of the Gundam is a money issue, it is not a problem of lack of money. Money can still be invested, but it will affect other operations of the company.

The suspension of development of the Gundam did not mean that work had stopped, but rather that progress had slowed down. Long Fei would invest the net profit after each monthly business settlement to continue developing the Gundam and speed up progress.

The money paid by Fales and others allowed the slow progress of the development of the Gundam to return to normal.

"If it weren't for the production of more Gundams, my current wealth and money would definitely be at least ten times more than it is now. The cost of producing each Gundam is extremely high. It's like a vacuum cleaner, sucking in countless money."

Then, Long Fei finished reading all the documents and reports and walked out of the office to get some fresh air.

Long Fei looked at the scenery outside the window. The dark universe was dotted with starlight. Long Fei sometimes thought that in the boundless universe, there might be more advanced life forms and more advanced civilizations. Sometimes he wondered whether Gundam could compete with the weapons of more advanced civilizations.

"Long Fei, why are you sitting here alone in a daze?" Shi Tingfen came to Long Fei and asked.

"Nothing, just getting some fresh air."

Shi Tingfen looked at Long Fei. She didn't expect that this old classmate who had excellent grades and a strong interest in military affairs had become the boss of a mercenary group after not seeing him for several years.

"Old classmate, I think you are one of the best among the graduating classmates."

Long Fei smiled and said, "Not bad."

Shi Tingfen felt a little speechless, and smiled bitterly: "You are still okay like this, but if I am like this, I will be thrown into the trash can."

"How are the others?"

“Most of them have lost contact.”

“Oh, I see.”

Shi Tingfen suddenly thought of something and said to Long Fei: "By the way, Zhao Xinlin has been looking for you."

"What does she want from me?"

"Well, it's because you disappeared that she was looking for you everywhere."

Long Fei remained silent.

"By the way, Zhao Xinlin has always treated you as her man and doesn't allow any woman to get close to you. Even the Third Princess who is in the same class with us dared to warn not to get close to you, making everyone think that Zhao Xinlin is your girlfriend."

"She was not my girlfriend. I was doing research at the time and didn't want to have a relationship. Even if I wanted to find a girlfriend, I didn't want a woman like Zhao Xinlin."

"Indeed, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Zhao Xinlin just wishfully thinks you are her man. How could a normal man choose a yandere girl like this? And although you were a research geek at that time, you were a school celebrity with excellent grades, outstanding physical fitness, and both literary and martial arts skills. If you wanted to find a girlfriend at that time, there were plenty of girls lining up for you to choose from."

"Don't talk about me. Is Luo Tianyou still pursuing you?"

"Oh, don't talk about him anymore. He pursued me for several years and I was almost annoyed by him. Whenever I went to work for a company, he would buy it and give it to me. Many colleagues thought I was being kept by someone. What's worse is that when I talked to some men, he would send people to teach them a lesson. Those boys were so scared when they saw me that they thought I was a ghost. His actions showed that I was his private part."

"You came out on this trip because you wanted to avoid him for a while, but you didn't expect to be kidnapped by pirates during your trip."

"Although I was worried and scared during the kidnapping, I felt more at ease without this man's harassment."

"Now that we have rescued you, you will still have to endure Luo Tianyou's entanglement."

Shi Tingfen had goose bumps on her head and asked Long Fei, "Old classmate, do you have any way to prevent that man from discovering my whereabouts?"

"You are not physically fit enough to join my mercenary group, and your talent is not being used. I remember that you passed the software engineering degree exam when you were in school, which should be a master's degree. I happen to have another company that should be suitable for you. Please consider it after you return to the mother base."
