Chapter 627 Man, What's Your Name?
"What? Do you want to die?"

A mocking voice came over.

Hmm, that voice sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

Guo Nu quickly turned towards the source of the sound and saw a man in a black military officer's uniform striding towards him.

Familiar, too familiar.

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

Time and again, this enraged the military minister, causing him to smash the cup.

The leader of the bandit army, and the empire's most wanted criminal.
"Tang bandits?" Guo Nu looked surprised.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

He was clearly kidnapped by Sheng Kuang and put on the escape starship, but how did he end up in front of Tang Fei the moment he opened his eyes?
"Director Guo, we meet again," Tang Fei said with a smile.

We meet again?

I'd never want to meet you.

Ironically, when Tang Fei had vanished without a trace, they went to great lengths to find him.

Now I've actually seen it.
I wish it were just a nightmare.

When I opened my eyes, the bandits were gone.

Guo Nu was terrified of the Tang bandits; it was a fear that came from the depths of his soul.

To be honest, their security bureau rarely fears anyone.

They are ruthless and have many tricks up their sleeves.

The outside world regards the National Security Bureau as a "gate of hell," and those without money or connections should not enter.
Pshaw, that's slander.

However, when he faced the bandits of Tang, he always felt that a small stain was seen as a great stain.

My little tricks and schemes are completely insignificant compared to his.
He's much dirtier than I am.

When the two of them are together, they always unconsciously pose in the way he wants.

"How did I get here? Where is Shengjing? Shengjing promised to let me leave!" Guo shouted angrily.

He wanted to leave, to leave quickly, to leave immediately.

At that moment, the only person he could trust was Sheng Jing.

"The Finance Minister is resting, so I came over to chat with you first." Tang Fei said with a smile, "If Director Guo really wants to leave, I won't stop him. However, before you leave, you might as well take a look at a few current affairs news."

"After you've finished watching, if you insist on leaving, I won't stop you at all; I'll even send a private plane to take you away. How about that?"

"Current affairs news? What news?"

Guo Nu looked on with curiosity.

Tang Fei stretched out his hand, and someone handed him a smart PAD.

Due to security concerns, Guo Nu's mobile phone and all electronic devices were confiscated and destroyed.

Each mobile phone is a real-time locator; they cannot allow Shen Wuxiang to pinpoint the location of the secret base.

Tang Fei handed over the PAD, smiling as he said, "There's internet, you can watch whatever you want."

He paused, then explained, "If you're worried that we're falsifying information or tampering with it, you can go to the information website of the Os Empire or the Federation. We can't tamper with other people's information networks."

Guo Nu's doubts vanished instantly; he was indeed worried that Tang Fei was deceiving him.
Just as they often use falsified testimony to deceive others.

Scammers find it hard to believe in other people's sincerity.

The same goes for the Tang bandits.

He knew Guo Nu wouldn't believe him, so he made a special explanation.

Guo Nu immediately clicked on Phoenix.com, the nation's leading portal website, and was instantly drawn to the top trending topic:

Former Imperial Finance Minister Sheng Jing betrayed his country and died in a spaceship explosion.

It was followed by a bright red "Explosion" character.

He immediately clicked into the trending search page, which contained detailed reports of the incident and photos of the burning wreckage of the spacecraft.

There was also heated discussion among hundreds of millions of netizens.

Of course, comments supporting and believing in Shengjing have been deleted. Now, all the comments are:

That magnificent scene deserves to die.

Beautifully done.

Those who offend our empire, no matter how far away, shall be punished.
-
Guo Nu's face turned deathly pale, his pupils dilated. Sheng Jing was dead? The Starship exploded?
Fake, must be fake.

He then opened Langlang.com, Tenda.com, and Auscn.com's CNM.com, as well as the Federal TT.com.
The top trending topic on every website was news of Sheng Jing, the former finance minister of Phoenix Empire, betraying the country and the Starship explosion.

The more I looked, the more alarmed and frightened I became.

He closed the PAD, looked at Tang Fei with a deathly pale face, and asked, "What exactly is going on? Sheng Jing is dead? Impossible, Sheng Jing and I were on the same starship. If he died, I can't survive either."

He was knocked unconscious by Sheng Kuang immediately after boarding the starship.

Therefore, we don't know what happened afterward.

"Smart." Tang Fei snapped his fingers and looked at Guo Nu, saying, "Director Guo is a smart man. You already have the answer in your heart, right? What? Is it hard to accept?"

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

How can this be?

"Our biggest misconception about ourselves is that we think we are very important to others."

"All living beings are like pieces on a game of chess; which piece cannot be discarded?"

"The Minister of Finance is dead, and so are you." Tang Fei's smile vanished, and he looked at Guo Nu with a serious expression, saying, "This is common knowledge."

"Then us"

"Because I took action," Tang Fei replied. "The person Shen Wuxiang wanted to kill is the person I wanted to save. I don't want you to die."

silence.

Dead silence.

After a long while, Guo Nucai had no choice but to accept the reality before him.

Guo Nu looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Is Bai Xingjian one of your men?"

Tang Fei squinted and smiled, praising, "See? What did I tell you? I knew Director Guo was the smartest man in the world."

"."

“If anyone had told me before that Bai Xingjian was one of yours, I would have thought that person was crazy. A spy, a traitor.” He looked down at his bound hands and feet, his smile bitter: “Now, everything makes sense.”

"When I was in Shengjing Courtyard, I felt someone trip me, and my body lurched towards the direction of Sheng Kuang. At that time, I thought Bai Xingjian had done it unintentionally, that it was just my own carelessness."

"Now it seems he deliberately handed me over to Sheng Kuang in order to break the deadlock."

“After Sheng Kuang took me hostage, he used that to threaten me into giving him the Star Disc. He put the choice in my hands. He knew I was afraid of death and would definitely beg him to meet Sheng Kuang’s demands.”

"As he predicted, I begged them to send a starship and, under duress, boarded the starship with Sheng Jing."

"Then, the starship exploded and was destroyed by Bai Xingjian. If I'm not mistaken, Bai Xingjian has now taken over my position as the director of the Security Bureau, right?"

"Smart." Tang Fei didn't hold back his praise, giving Guo Nu a thumbs up: "Very smart. Everything went according to your plan."

"."

Is this my plan?
I am merely a puppet in this incident, and one who willingly entered into it.

It's all Sheng Xinhuai's fault
If she weren't so sexy and alluring, why would I have rushed over so eagerly?

Men, your name is lust.

I wish I had developed erectile dysfunction earlier.

"But have you thought about this?" Seeing Guo Nu remain silent, Tang Fei decided to stab him in the heart again: "Sheng Jing is the Imperial Finance Minister, and you are the Director of the Security Bureau. Without Shen Wuxiang's instructions and permission, would Bai Xingjian dare to openly order the artillery to fire?"

"."

Sure enough, that strike was incredibly sharp.

Guo Nu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"So, Director Guo, are you still going back now?"
