After sending Cockroach Qiang away, Qi Yun and Brother Hui returned to the office.

Brother Hui, who had been holding back for a long time, finally asked the question he was itching to know: "Old Brother Qi, what exactly happened just now? Why did Cockroach Qiang's attitude suddenly change?"

Qi Yun did not explain much, he simply laughed and said, "I contacted a friend who happens to know Mr. Fu."

"I see." Brother Hui nodded in understanding, yet with some curiosity.

Back when the two met, it was through General Manager Bi's introduction, so he always regarded Qi Yun as someone at General Manager Bi's level.

But now, Qi Yun could casually make a phone call and influence Mr. Fu's decision, which made him reassess Qi Yun.

To know, Mr. Fu is quite influential on Hong Kong Island, what kind of person could sway the decisions of such a big shot...

"Thanks for your help this time, Brother Hui." Qi Yun took out a cigarette and offered him one.

Brother Hui accepted the cigarette, waved his hand, and said, "We're friends, there's no need to be so formal, and besides, I didn't actually help you much." He lit the cigarette, inhaled deeply, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, "I won't lie, before and after all this, my heart was in my throat."

"I truly cannot afford to offend Mr. Fu; fortunately, you, Old Brother Qi, have real capabilities."

Qi Yun chuckled and shook his head, choosing not to dwell on the topic: "I plan to head back inland tomorrow, let's have a good relaxation tonight."

Brother Hui waved grandly: "Oh, now that you're here on Hong Kong Island, there's no need for you to arrange anything, I'll have someone prepare it shortly."

"Old Brother Qi, did you like that restaurant we went to last time, haha."

...

Meanwhile, at a villa in France Leon.

A middle-aged man in a suit stood by the window, talking on the phone.

From his furrowed brow, it was evident the conversation wasn't pleasant.

"Sorry, De Gaulle, the one making the request of me, I cannot refuse, so I can't help with your matter."

Listening to the reply on the phone, the man referred to as De Gaulle furrowed his brows even deeper.

He keenly caught two keywords in that sentence: 'request', the other said 'request' rather than 'plea', these two words have vastly different meanings.

He toyed with a cigar in his hand and asked, "Mr. Fu, is it convenient to tell me the identity of the other party?"

"Sorry, I can't reveal that." The voice on the other end of the phone refused categorically.

De Gaulle sighed, "Alright then, I'll leave you to it."

After hanging up, his gaze pierced through the window, staring into the distance.

Previously unclear why his subordinates were captured by local Hong Kong Island gangs, from his conversation with Fu Guangxiang earlier, it was apparent it was Qi Yun's doing.

It seems he underestimated the opponent, managing to rapidly discover his people investigating him, and could also mount a swift counterattack.

What's more perplexing, the records indicate the opponent is an ordinary person, what connections did he use to make Fu Guangxiang retreat, and with such secrecy, unwilling even to disclose anything to him.

Could there be more undisclosed powerful backgrounds of Qi Yun?

...

On the next day, in the car heading to Pengcheng Airport, Qi Yun was making a phone call.

"Captain Ge, thanks a lot for this incident."

On the phone, Ge Dabao responded with a smile: "Thank Director Duan if you need to thank someone, he's the one who came forward to help contact, I don't have that kind of influence."

Qi Yun nodded with a smile upon hearing that, "Haha, I'm currently on my way to Peng City Airport, I'll thank him in person when I return."

"Alright, also, let me remind you privately, this time it's only because of catching the illegal entry, Director Duan had a reason to communicate with Hong Kong Island; next time may not be the case."

"After all, we are a special department serving national security, unless it's a threat to national security, many things we cannot easily engage in, understand?" Ge Dabao spoke earnestly.

Qi Yun quickly replied, "Understood, I'll be cautious in the future."

Ge Dabao further added, "Although said like that, you are part of us, if your personal safety is threatened, we won't stand idly by."

"Alright, let's leave it here, have a meal when you return."

"Haha, no problem."

After hanging up, Qi Yun frowned while looking out the window, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Although capturing them in Hong Kong Island this time, he didn't acquire much useful information, being stalked secretly makes one feel quite uneasy.

Next to him, Chen Wei turned and asked, "What do you plan to do with that person? That guy is quite capable; if he escapes, it can be a safety hazard."

Qi Yun shook his head, his tone steady: "He can't escape, I reckon he's already been taken away."

If it were before the interrogation, Qi Yun might have worried about the opponent revealing secrets about him, but now he didn't worry at all.

Because the opponent was just doing the job, only knew about him going to salvage a sunken ship, which was not a secret affair, nor too hidden, after all, there were so many people aboard at that time.

An hour later, Qi Yun and the others arrived at Peng City Airport.

Niu Da and Duan Pingyu directly returned to Bird City, he himself took Chen Wei to Beijing.

He had two purposes for this trip, one was to thank Fu Wentao and Li Yaohua personally, as they were significantly helpful during his last trip to South Africa.

Another was to take the opportunity to inquire about Charles de Gaulle Gwen's background; with the Fu Family's global network, perhaps they might know of this person.
