"What? Do you want to die?"

A teasing voice came through.

Huh, why does this voice sound familiar? It feels like I've heard it somewhere before.

Director Guo quickly turned toward the source of the sound, and saw a man dressed in a black officer's uniform striding toward him.

Familiar, too familiar.

He would recognize that face even if it turned to ashes; time and again it had brought him humiliation, time and again it had brought him defeat.

Time and again... causing the Military Minister to rage and smash cups.

The leader of the bandits, the Empire's most wanted criminal...

"Tang Fei?" Director Guo's face was filled with astonishment.

Impossible to understand, truly impossible to understand.

Clearly, having been kidnapped by Sheng Kuang, he boarded an escape Star Disc, how come upon opening his eyes, he found himself in front of Tang Fei?

"Director Guo, we meet again." Tang Fei said with a grin.

Meet again?

Who'd want to meet you?

It's really ironic; when Tang Fei disappeared without a trace, they exhausted their minds trying to dig him out.

Now, truly face to face...

If only this were a nightmare.

Open your eyes, and Tang Fei disappears.

Director Guo feared Tang Fei, a fear from the depths of his soul.

Logically, the Security Bureau rarely fears anyone.

They are ruthless, with countless methods.

The outside world regards the Security Bureau as the 'Ghost Gate,' with reason: you can't come without money...

Spit, spit, that's slander.

But, facing Tang Fei, he always feels like small dirt meets big dirt.

His little thoughts and methods are completely insignificant in front of him...

He's far dirtier than me.

When they interact with each other, it always unknowingly turns into the pose Tang Fei desires.

"Why am I here? Where is Sheng Jing? Sheng Jing promised to let me go." Director Guo shouted anxiously.

He wants to leave, immediately, promptly.

At this moment, the only person he can rely on is Sheng Jing.

"The Finance Minister is resting, I came to chat with you first." Tang Fei smiled amicably and said, "Director Guo truly wants to leave, I won't stop you. But, before you go, why not watch a few current news clips."

"After you finish watching, if you insist on leaving... I absolutely won't stop you, and will even send a special plane to take you away. How about it?"

"Current news? What news?"

Director Guo was full of curiosity.

Tang Fei extended his hand, and someone brought over a smart PAD.

Due to security issues, Director Guo's phone and all electronic devices were confiscated and destroyed.

Every phone is a real-time locator; they can't allow Shen Wuxiang to lock onto the secret base location.

Tang Fei handed over the PAD, smiling as he said, "It's connected to the internet, feel free to watch."

He paused, then explained, "If you are worried about us fabricating or altering information... you can access the Aus Empire or Federation information websites... We have no way to tamper with others' information networks."

The doubts in Director Guo's heart instantly dissipated, indeed worried that Tang Fei was deceiving him...

Just as they often used altered testimonies to deceive others.

Liars find it hard to trust others' honesty.

Tang Fei is the same.

He knows Director Guo wouldn't trust him, so he went out of his way to explain.

Director Guo first opened the Empire's leading portal site Phoenix TV, instantly drawn to the top of the trending search:

Empire's former Finance Minister Sheng Jing betrays the nation, dies in Star Disc explosion.

A dazzling red 'explosion' character followed.

He immediately clicked into the trending search page, containing detailed event reports and photos of the burning Star Disc wreckage.

And the heated discussions of billions of netizens.

Of course, comments supporting Sheng Jing and trusting Sheng Jing were all deleted.

Now the unanimous sentiment is:

Sheng Jing deserves to die.

Well done.

The offenders of the Empire, will be punished even from afar.

------

Director Guo's face went pale, his pupils dilated, Sheng Jing died? The Star Disc exploded?

Fake, it must be fake.

He then opened Langlang Net, Tengda Net, Aus's CNM Net, the Federation's TT Net...

All websites trending number one is the Phoenix Empire's former Finance Minister Sheng Jing betrays the nation, Star Disc explosion news.

The more he looked, the more shocked he became, the more afraid he felt.

He closed the PAD, looking at Tang Fei with a face ashen as death, and asked, "What on earth is going on? Sheng Jing is dead? Impossible, I was on the same Star Disc as Sheng Jing... If he's dead, how can I be alive."

After boarding the Star Disc, he was knocked unconscious by Sheng Kuang immediately.

So he didn't know what happened afterward.

"Smart." Tang Fei snapped his fingers, looked at Director Guo and said: "Director Guo is a smart person, he must have the answer in his heart, right? What? Is it hard to accept?"

Yes, Director Guo already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

How is this possible?

"Our greatest misunderstanding about ourselves is thinking we are extremely important in others' hearts."

"Sentient beings are chess pieces, which piece cannot be sacrificed?"

"The Finance Minister is dead, you are dead too." Tang Fei's smile vanished, he looked at Director Guo with a solemn expression and spoke: "Everyone knows this."

"Then we..."

"Because I took action." Tang Fei threw out the answer: "Shen Wuxiang wants to kill you, you are the ones I want to save. I don't want you to die."

Silence.

A deadly silence.

After a long while, Director Guo had to accept the reality before him.

Director Guo looked at Tang Fei and asked: "Bai Xingjian is your man?"

Tang Fei squinted and smiled, commending him: "See, what did I say? I knew Director Guo was the smartest person in the world."

"..."

"If someone told me before that Bai Xingjian was your man, I would certainly think that person is crazy. An infiltrator, a traitor." He looked down at his bound hands and feet, his smile bitter: "Now, all things can make sense..."

"In Sheng Jing's courtyard, I felt someone tripped me, my body fell toward Sheng Kuang's direction. At the time I thought Bai Xingjian's was unintentional, that I was careless..."

"Looking back, he intentionally delivered me into Sheng Kuang's hands to break the deadlock..."

"After Sheng Kuang kidnapped me as a hostage, used it to threaten for the Star Disc... he handed the choice to me. He knew I was cowardly and afraid of death, definitely would beg him to meet Sheng Kuang's demands."

"Indeed, as he predicted, I begged and pleaded for the Star Disc... again having no choice but to follow Sheng Jing aboard that Star Disc."

"Then, the Star Disc exploded, destroyed by Bai Xingjian... If I'm right, Bai Xingjian has already taken my place as the Director of Security Bureau, hasn't he?"

"Smart." Tang Fei was generous with his praise, giving Director Guo a thumbs up: "Very smart. All events proceed according to your plan."

"..."

Is this really my plan?

I'm merely a puppet in this accident, and a voluntarily entered puppet at that.

It's all Xin Huai's fault...

If she wasn't too sexy and alluring, how could I have rushed over so eagerly?

Men, your name is lustful.

If only I had ED sooner.

"But have you considered?" seeing Director Guo silent, Tang Fei decided to pierce his heart sharply: "Sheng Jing is the Imperial Finance Minister, you are the Director of Security Bureau, would Bai Xingjian dare to openly order the attack without Shen Wuxiang's instructions and permission?"

"..."

Indeed, this strike was incredibly powerful.

Director Guo listened, his spine chilled, sweating profusely.

"So, Director Guo... do you still want to go back now?"
