Chapter 707: Chapter 708 Hidden _1

"If it involves important secrets, I may not be able to answer."

Feng Yuan said as he yawned and lay down on the bed, Agunas floated to the window, sat down, and closed its eyes, seeming somewhat exhausted, especially since it had almost entirely relied on its own power while dealing with those cases with Feng Yuan today.

"That... Do you know about the military’s movements?"

Feng Yuan sat up in surprise, staring at Qi Chen, and whispered,

"Do you realize what you’re saying? If someone else heard you, you’d be in trouble."

"It’s not..."

"That..."

Qi Chen didn’t know how to start, and Agunas opened its eyes, looked at Qi Chen, and said,

"If it’s not critical intelligence, he could perhaps ask Captain Yang. The Special Bureau’s definition of secret intelligence is much more accurate than your own guesses."

"Since last week, my father hasn’t contacted us anymore, and the response when we call is a bit..."

"I see..."

Feng Yuan seemed to guess something and, seeing Qi Chen’s worried expression, smiled and said,

"Relax, don’t forget that I gave him a tooth of the Wolf God before, didn’t I? He’ll be fine～"

"But..."

"How about I ask for you? Though I reckon they won’t give an answer."

Without waiting for Qi Chen to refuse, Feng Yuan pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number from his contacts.

"How dare they mess around like this!"

Captain Yang muttered with a headache as he looked at the report from Maomu City, while a middle-aged man smiled and said,

"To be honest, if possible, I believe Old Hua would do the same."

"And then when trouble arises, they’d push it onto us?"

Captain Yang said with a cold laugh, shrugging, the middle-aged man helplessly said,

"I didn’t say that. Moreover, we’re already busy enough here. We haven’t sorted out the military side of things, and now this place is a mess. To be honest, knowing there’s a shortage of personnel, why not hire more people?"

Captain Yang glared at the middle-aged man and shouted sharply,

"Old Wei! What nonsense are you talking!?"

The man spread his hands, uncaringly said,

"Am I not stating the facts? I really don’t know what they’re thinking."

"If you don’t want to work, you can write an application! Why stick around here?"

The middle-aged man stared seriously at Captain Yang and said,

"How I conduct myself is none of your business! And don’t think they’ll favor you with that attitude!"

"I’m sorry, but I turned down those promotions myself."

Captain Yang said with a sneer, and the man glanced at Captain Yang, turned, and walked away without looking back, saying,

"Because you dislike their methods, just like with this incident. By doing this, are they not afraid of chilling people’s hearts?"

Watching the middle-aged man leave, Captain Yang sighed softly,

"What exactly are you trying to do... Could it be..."

As Captain Yang was lost in thought, his mobile phone’s ringtone sounded. Glancing at the label on the screen, Captain Yang said with curiosity,

"What’s up with that guy again?"

"Ah ha~ Finally free~"

Within Maomu City’s Special Task Team office, lit with lights, cheers could be heard from every corner. Startled awake by the noise, Captain Yan looked at the dark office, shook his head helplessly, and got up to turn on the lights.

He was naturally aware of Feng Yuan’s help today, as everyone had been incredibly busy lately. Even if calling on the Divine Beasts was a bit unorthodox, he no longer cared, since there wasn’t anything in Maomu City that the Lorraine Tower would covet anyway.

"Aren’t you going to rest for a bit?"

The woman, who had already gone downstairs preparing to drive back, couldn’t help but return to check on the situation when she saw the lights suddenly come on in Captain Yan’s office.

Looking at the woman, Captain Yan said,

"I haven’t finished with my work here. You better hurry back; this rare break won’t last long."

"Speaking of which, are they really going to do it?"

"They?"

"You know, the news I just heard from my brother, aren’t they afraid if the truth gets out..."

"Maybe they have their reasons..."

"But..."

Impatiently waving his hand, Captain Yan said,

"Don’t spread this around. If they find out, you won’t have an easy time."

"Being your team member is much more reassuring～"

Saying this and not giving Captain Yan a chance to retort, the woman turned and left. Watching the door close, Captain Yan sighed helplessly,

"What exactly are you guys trying to do..."

"Do you really think you can fool me?"

"In any case, you are NOT allowed to investigate this!!!"

Rubbing his ears, Feng Yuan hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Captain Yang. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise; he knew Feng Yuan hadn’t put the call on speaker, yet he could hear Captain Yang’s shouting while sitting on his own bed.

"But this makes me even more curious~"

"Mmm..."

Holding his ear, Feng Yuan looked at his phone speechlessly. Captain Yang’s shouting hadn’t diminished in volume at all. After a while, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore, okay? But can’t I even ask about how his father is doing now?"

"Is he okay?"

"Fine, fine, fine, I won’t pry anymore, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen, who had a face full of apology, and said,

"I asked Captain Yang. At least your father is fine for now, but..."

"That’s good... Don’t look into the rest."

Qi Chen said with a lingering fear. Naturally, he did not believe Captain Yang would take his anger out on Feng Yuan, at least based on their previous interactions; the man didn’t seem like that sort of person.

"It just feels strange, I have this sense of déjà vu..."

Feng Yuan murmured with a frown, while Agunas glanced at him and said,

"Can’t you find any related information?"

"I didn’t look it up, I’m not that bored to go snooping around without reason."

Feng Yuan shot a glance at Agunas and said annoyedly, opening the book in his hands, while Agunas rolled his eyes and remarked,

"I wonder who used to treat that as a storybook."

"Tsk!"

"What are they even doing?!"

Guo Huai cursed angrily under his breath. At that moment, his system decisively popped up, warning him not to act rashly,

"Ding~ It’s best not to mess around. Maybe it’s not that simple."

"But this is too much!"

"Ding~ If you can’t see the whole picture clearly, don’t jump to conclusions. Besides, with the Elder Council there, they might not really be..."

"But..."

"Ding~ It’s recommended that you find Feng Yuan tomorrow; he should be able to uncover the truth."

"Find him..."

Guo Huai considered it for a moment, then looked at Pu Pu who was asleep on the table and said,

"Alright..."

"What are you doing?"

Qi Chen asked with some confusion as he looked at the projection sand table in front of Feng Yuan, which was cluttered with red and blue dots and markings on the semi-transparent terrain projection, making him feel dizzy.

"Do you really want to get involved?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan, perplexed, while Feng Yuan pinched his chin and said,

"I’m checking to see if it’s that kind of situation..."

"That kind of situation?"

Agunas was a bit puzzled, the markings on the sand table projection were too numerous, and even it couldn’t understand what Feng Yuan was researching.

"Yes, a kind of helpless choice."

Feng Yuan sighed softly and murmured, remembering that person, someone he didn’t know how to judge. At that thought, Feng Yuan inexplicably thought of Guo Huai and was curious about how he would be evaluated by him.

"Muttering about gods and spirits..."

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and said speechlessly. He was currently sending a text to Qi Xiaoshuang. After all, she was very worried about their father; now that he had some news from Feng Yuan, he naturally wanted to inform her.

Xiao Ji scurried into Feng Yuan’s arms and nuzzled him. Although it was still troubled by the issue of evolution, it could sense that Feng Yuan wasn’t in a good mood. Feng Yuan smiled as he looked at Xiao Ji, who was trying hard to be cute in his arms, and stroked its soft fur while staring at the chaotic-coloured projection sand table.

"So sleepy... Ah Mu, lend me..."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, who was speaking hazily, and said,

"Didn’t you stay up all night yesterday?"

"No..."

"Ah Mu, lend me..."

Looking at Little Husky sprawled on the floor, Qi Chen said resignedly,

"If you’re really that tired, wouldn’t it be better to stay in the dorm and sleep?"

Little Husky wagged its tail feebly, looking too exhausted to move. Qi Chen picked it up with some headache and said,

"You really are..."
