Chapter 727: Chapter 467: Tool Man_1

This incident served as a wake-up call for Feng Yi.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned, just as he hadn’t anticipated someone would threaten him using Feng Jing.

He was even more surprised that the kidnappers intended to use public opinion as leverage!

However, the kidnappers’ logic did indeed hold some possibilities.

If the situation really escalated to that point, he needed to consider how to tackle this type of blackmail through public opinion.

Feng Yi did care about his reputation, as the Cohesion Bureau considered social influence when dealing with certified experts.

As a "technical talent," while he held an absolute technical advantage, he still needed to consider this aspect if he wanted to quickly gain more internal permissions within the Cohesion Bureau—his reputation didn’t need to be stellar, but it shouldn’t be too bad either. For this reason, Feng Yi had always been willing to cooperate with the publicity department of the Cohesion Bureau.

It was also thanks to the publicity department that Feng Yi got a spot in the first live exercise of the Butterfly Plan.

If Feng Yi’s social impact was too negative, the publicity department wouldn’t lift a finger to help him at this time.

Now look at this kidnapping incident.

He could try to rescue the hostage, but what about playing dirty in the realm of public opinion?

Feng Yi fell silent, contemplating, seriously analyzing...

The analysis yielded limited results, so he decided to seek professional consultation.

He first sought out Yi.

Yi had a team responsible for managing online public sentiments, and was more knowledgeable in this area of business.

There’s a saying after all, don’t compare your skills with those of your subordinates—they are certainly better than you.

Yi listened attentively to Feng Yi’s hypothetical scenario, and responded to his boss’s question conservatively and seriously:

"It’s not very difficult."

Feng Yi: "..."

Feng Yi: "Ah, that puts my mind at ease."

Actually, he wasn’t completely relieved. Although Yi was skilled, dedicated, reliable, and thorough in his work, Feng Yi still felt something was missing.

Therefore, Feng Yi decided to consult with the butler as well.

The butler must have a wealth of experience, right? Even if he hadn’t encountered such situations himself, he must have seen many of them.

But it wasn’t just about the angle of public opinion—since Yi had said "it’s not very difficult," it probably wouldn’t be a big deal for the butler either.

Feng Yi discussed the entire kidnapping and extortion case with him: how should he handle it if it happened again? And what if it involved other issues? How should those be resolved?

After patiently listening to various hypothetical scenarios proposed by Feng Yi, the butler responded with a considerate smile on his face, "When necessary, we will use... um... special domestic services to resolve the situation."

"Special domestic services"

Thinking about the butler’s style, Feng Yi didn’t need to ask how "special" that would be.

Feng Yi said, "Your answer is truly heartening!"

Butler: "If you don’t know how to handle it, you can confidently leave it to me."

Feng Yi replied with a smile, "I’m confident in you."

He felt reassured. Yet, not completely.

Indeed, his previous worries had diminished, but a subtle uneasiness had taken hold within his heart.

Overall, such problems didn’t require too much brainpower.

If even the professional team and the "special domestic services" couldn’t resolve it, then the complexity of the case was beyond everyone’s capability.

In that situation...

Feng Yi looked at his hands.

Scales, like armor, extended from his arms to his fingers, and specialized bones in his digits stretched out.

His claws radiated a cold, deadly aura.

Then everything returned to normal.

Feng Yi smiled.

When necessary, he could also resort to unconventional methods.

It’s essential to be prepared for the future, but not to hesitate out of fear.

Being cautious and meticulous is one thing, but such a style didn’t suit Feng Yi.

If he were that kind of person, he would not have made a model of his true form for the whole world to see.

Although it meant social suicide over and over, it was just like that, and what’s past is past.

Sometimes taking an unconventional approach has its merits.

Besides, living life thinking three steps ahead can be challenging.

Unless he grew a few more brains.

Back in his room, Feng Yi logged onto the Cohesion Bureau’s work platform and submitted a report to explain his mid-mission departure.

Right after finishing, he received a call from Feng Chi.

Feng Chi, having learned about the incident in Yang City from his parents, was shocked!

However, there had always been people around Feng Chi, and besides finding a moment to answer calls from home, it was not easy for him to make time for a longer call with Feng Yi. Knowing that Feng Jing was safely home and assuming that Feng Yi was probably busy, he didn’t rush to call, just sent a message.

This kidnapping case hadn’t been made public, and Feng Chi’s current work environment was complex. If outsiders overheard, it would cause unnecessary trouble and rumors that traveled faster than the truth.

Now that he finally found a chance to be alone, Feng Chi closed his door and called Feng Yi with peace of mind.

Feng Chi had only heard a limited amount of information from his parents, but he could imagine the whole scenario. The temperament of the Feng Family and their likely course of action was no surprise to him.

He was curious to know how Feng Yi encountered Feng Jing and what Feng Yi’s attitude was. Besides that, there were a few other things he needed to discuss with Feng Yi.

"The old man was furious. The kidnappers precisely trampled multiple times in the old man’s minefield, like plowing the ground, back and forth, causing explosions everywhere.

"The old man was as usual—his liver fire too intense, and this time, no one dared to advise him... perhaps no one wanted to.
