Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 91: Pei Yan’s Conditions

"Feeling better now?" Gu Shenghui pressed his deformed nose from the punch, blew out the bloody foam, shook his hand, and asked Pei Yan with a smile as he approached.

He could have dodged or defended against the punch earlier, but he chose to drop most of his defenses and take Pei Yan’s punch directly.

"No!"

"Want to continue?"

"No!"

Gu Shenghui rubbed his neck, looked up at Pei Yan, and said seriously, "Why? Don’t worry, I won’t fight back, nor will I make things difficult for you later!"

"I don’t believe you, and it doesn’t matter; I demand compensation!" Pei Yan said as he deactivated his mechanical transformation, his body returning to a flesh state, light flashing as clothes appeared on him.

As Pei Yan’s body recovered, he staggered, his entire body weak, legs giving out as he was about to fall. Witnessing the entire scene, Jiang Feiyang rushed forward to support his shaky body, slowly helping him down.

Gu Shenghui squatted down in front of Pei Yan, stared into his eyes, nodded in approval, and asked, "A wise choice. Rather than childish revenge, this is more practical. Tell me, what do you want? Except leaving the Investigation Bureau, I’ll consider everything else!"

"I need unrestricted material resources to enhance my capabilities, and Engineer Li’s greater support!" Pei Yan struggled to keep his eyes open, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath. Jiang Feiyang, holding him cautiously, feared he might die in his arms after finishing this sentence.

Elder Lin approached quickly, placed a hand on Pei Yan’s arm, and asked worriedly, "Pei Yan, these matters can be discussed later. You are extremely weak mentally and need immediate rest!"

"Let him speak; if you don’t let him finish, he won’t be satisfied. He’s afraid I might renege later. I’ve agreed to the first one, and I never intended to block you anyway," Gu Shenghui raised a hand to stop Elder Lin’s attempt to forcibly hypnotize Pei Yan, turning to Pei Yan to assure him.

"Second, protection for my family—absolute protection!"

"No problem!"

"Third, I must continue with missions. My freedom cannot be restricted nor indirectly imprisoned!"

Gu Shenghui paused at this condition before eventually nodding in agreement, "I promise you!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Old Gu!" Dong Shigang, who had stepped in, shouted in a low voice.

Pei Yan glanced at the man in military attire with urgency, then turned back to Gu Shenghui and asked, "Can your word be trusted?"

Facing Pei Yan’s skeptical gaze, Gu Shenghui solemnly promised, "It can be trusted! As long as I’m in this position, my promises are absolute. Even if I’m not in this position anymore, I’ll protect your freedom, provided you don’t cross the line!"

"Alright, I’ll trust you once more. Fourth—cough cough cough! Uh uh!" At this, Pei Yan began to cough violently, his body unable to stop twitching as the mental damage he suffered earlier finally retaliated.

"Fourth, let’s discuss later!" Elder Lin pressed his hand on Pei Yan’s twitching body, channeling steady energy from his hand, fortunate that Pei Yan’s body was temporarily silent due to releasing too much energy earlier, allowing uninterrupted repair of Pei Yan’s mind and body.

Gu Shenghui placed his hand on Pei Yan’s thigh and sighed, looking at him as he fell unconscious, "We’ll talk about the rest after you wake up!"

Just as he was about to lift his hand and order Pei Yan to be taken away, Pei Yan’s semi-closed eyes suddenly opened, his body sat up, he grabbed Gu Shenghui’s wrist, continually repeating "Fourth, fourth, fourth!"

"Fourth, tell me what it is; I’ll definitely agree!" Both Gu Shenghui and Elder Lin were shocked, watching Pei Yan, who was desperately trying to stay awake, they had no choice but to respond to his consciousness.

"Fourth, when I have enough ability, allow me to participate in capturing that bastard. I must, absolutely must be involved!" At this, Pei Yan’s body twitched again, his hand gripping Gu Shenghui’s wrist as he gnawed his teeth and said, "I’ll make sure to dismantle his remaining arm!"

"I promise you!"

Hearing Gu Shenghui’s verbal assurance, Pei Yan finally loosened his grip, lost consciousness, and began to twitch violently, his teeth trembling loudly, meaningless sounds escaping from his throat, blood constantly seeping from his mouth and nose.

"Someone fill his mouth with something, prevent him from biting his tongue! Carry him upstairs." Elder Lin ordered loudly as he glanced around the crowd, "Xiaomei, Old Zuo, come to the medical room and help me out!"

"Alright, no problem!" Director Mei and Zuo Huaxian immediately stepped forward, Engineer Li took off his cotton cap, disregarding hygiene concerns, and directly stuffed it into Pei Yan’s mouth, firmly holding his trembling jaw.

As everyone awkwardly carried Pei Yan into the elevator, Elder Lin glanced at Gu Shenghui and quietly instructed, "Once these matters are handled, come to my office for a chat. Sort out this situation here yourself!"

"Understood!" Gu Shenghui nodded in understanding, not following the group upstairs, he looked back at the plump kid standing dumbfounded, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "You understand the rules, right? You’ve been thoroughly vetted as a core member of the bureau."

"Got it. Later, I’ll get my memory wiped with Yuan Shaoqing; not a word of what happened tonight will leave my mouth." Jiang Feiyang, shedding his usual indifferent demeanor, leaned forward with a solemn expression and replied.

Gu Shenghui exhaled a puff of smoke, patted Jiang Feiyang’s shoulder, and reminded him, "No need to be too serious; just keep things under wraps for a while. There are over forty people confined in the conference room upstairs; go find a few people to bring bedding supplies from the warehouse and let them rest in the conference room, waiting for inspection! Until new investigative personnel arrive, their daily needs are managed externally by you."

"Understood!"

"Also, make sure only you contact Shangxing and Wenlin directly; they don’t need to know external matters. While calming the confined personnel’s emotions, keep them under this high-pressure atmosphere."

Jiang Feiyang hesitated for a moment, then realized the reason and asked, "What if someone can’t take it and speaks out?"

"Yuan Shaoqing has people inside; we don’t have to worry. Just tell Wenlin and Shangxing to keep an eye out!"

After Jiang Feiyang turned to leave, Gu Shenghui extinguished his cigarette and walked slowly towards the stairs, took out a betel nut from his pocket, recalling the events of this evening and past memories, repeatedly rolling a betel nut between his fingers.

Upon stepping up the staircase, he paused, raised the betel nut to his mouth three times, finally let out a long sigh, and casually tossed it aside.
