God-Level All-rounder Expert-Chapter 267 - 287: Leisure Time at Home (4th update)

Due to the bombing incident, the entire building was deserted. When Fang Yi arrived outside the office, there was complete silence.

Fang Yi took a cup of water and moistened his throat, and as he stood at the office door again with the cup in hand, he encountered Zhao Guosheng, who appeared to have been waiting there for some time.

"Fang Yi, I was just looking for you," Zhao Guosheng said with a smile, like a kindly elder. "Miss Shen said you weren’t around and asked me to wait a bit. Sure enough, I didn’t wait long before I saw you."

Fang Yi responded with a forced smile, "Thank you for your concern, Deputy Director Zhao, but I would still appreciate it if you didn’t disturb her."

Zhao Guosheng laughed heartily, "Of course, how about we find a place and have a good chat?"

Fang Yi nodded without refusal.

On the company balcony, the two men stood together. Zhao Guosheng took out a pack of ’Military God’ cigarettes, offered one to Fang Yi, and lit one for himself, taking a deep drag.

Exhaling smoke, Zhao Guosheng suddenly clenched his fist, covered his mouth, and coughed a few times.

"Ah, getting old, even smoking makes me cough," Zhao Guosheng lamented.

"Just quit then," Fang Yi said indifferently. "So as not to smoke yourself to death."

Zhao Guosheng’s expression was priceless—not smoked to death, but nearly choked to death instead.

"The internal situation in the Dragon Team is extremely unsettled right now," Zhao Guosheng continued.

"Um," Fang Yi responded unemotionally, showing no reaction.

Zhao Guosheng went on, "As you’ve seen before, the Dragon Team isn’t united. It’s like any large company, with all sorts of people. Although it’s the strongest organization under Xuan Cang’s lead and has official backing, it’s still made up of many individuals. Wherever there are people, there’s the martial arts world, and in that world, there’s always conflict and bloodshed."

"Um," Fang Yi replied again, still with an expressionless face.

Seeing Fang Yi’s lack of response, Zhao Guosheng sighed and added, "The infighting within the Dragon Team is no different from the struggles outside; scheming, plotting, and all kinds of intrigue—it’s no longer as pure as it once was."

At that point, Fang Yi put down his water cup and lit a cigarette, remaining silent.

But Zhao Guosheng spoke as if he were answering his own question, "Since its inception at the founding of the country, the Dragon Team has been held up by the hands of the Dragon King. Through many tumultuous years till this day, its former glory has withered, and it is in decline. Ah, remembering the majesty of the Dragon King in those days, it’s truly unforgettable..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

This sigh was filled with tears and hardship from the past.

Yet looking at Fang Yi again, he was leaning back against the railing with his elbows propped up on the balcony, looking effortlessly cool as he smoked with his head tilted back.

Zhao Guosheng couldn’t hold back any longer and yelled, "Are you even listening to me at all!"

Fang Yi gave a faint smile and after a few seconds of silence said, "No."

"..."

Zhao Guosheng was infuriated. After all the talk, it had been for nothing—this guy hadn’t heard a single word, and he had just been babbling to himself.

"Let’s cut to the chase, Deputy Director Zhao," Fang Yi said, exhaling a puff of smoke. "As a Deputy Director with countless responsibilities, and with this terror incident needing your attention, you wouldn’t be telling me all this for nothing."

Zhao Guosheng had never been so irritated by anyone before, but Fang Yi had managed to do it: "This is no story, it’s all true!"

Fang Yi, with an expressionless face, said, "Fine, let’s say it’s true. But I don’t understand why you would tell all this to an outsider like me."

Zhao Guosheng said solemnly, "I want to invite you to join the Dragon Team."

"Your purpose?"

"Simple. I want to invite you to join the Dragon Team to enhance its strength."

A slight smile finally appeared on Fang Yi’s stoic face. "Deputy Director Zhao, I’m not a three-year-old. Hearing this, I really can’t believe you. Besides, even though I have the title of ’most wanted criminal,’ you may not know this, but my abilities are not that strong."

Fang Yi was lying here; if it had been before, his abilities indeed weren’t that strong, but now, he was at Human Level Nine and half a step into Earth Level, without meeting an equal among his peers.

Of course, unless it was those in the reclusive Martial Arts sects, if a young person from these sects came out, the outcome could be different.

"What I value is not your strength, but you as a person. Moreover, regarding Cai Qin..." Zhao Guosheng deliberately paused, looking meaningfully at Fang Yi.

It would be false to claim that Fang Yi felt no inner stirrings upon hearing the name Cai Qin.

"Don’t beat around the bush, get to the point!" Fang Yi said. Last time when Cai Qin was involved in the pursuit of Song Haoyue with him, although Cai Qin didn’t say anything, Fang Yi could guess that her situation in the Dragon Team would be difficult.

"Cai Qin has been taken to the Check-Up Department," Zhao Guosheng said.

"The Check-Up Department?"

"It’s a department established within the Dragon Team, akin to the existence of the Hundred Immortals Sect, specifically for scrutiny, although the subjects of this scrutiny are just our own Dragon Team members."

"Cai Qin hasn’t violated any rules, if there are any, it was just that time..." Fang Yi’s expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Is someone targeting Cai Qin?"

Zhao Guosheng said, "Not against Cai Qin, but against you."

Fang Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "When can I join the Dragon Team?"

Although Zhao Guosheng didn’t spell it out, he had hinted that only if Fang Yi entered the Dragon Team would Cai Qin possibly be released.

"In about half a month, the Dragon Team will be recruiting new members. You can participate in the selection process then," Zhao Guosheng said.

Fang Yi didn’t hesitate, "No problem."

Both sentimentally and logically, Fang Yi couldn’t just ignore Cai Qin.

Thus, it was settled. In half a month, Fang Yi would participate in the selection process for the Dragon Team.

...

In the following three days, Fang Yi was given time off.

To be precise, Shen Binnan called to give him three days off, and during these three days, Shen Binnan wanted to rest at home.

Based on Fang Yi’s understanding of Shen Binnan, this woman had strong nerves and was certainly not too scared to go to work because of the terror incident. It was rather because of her buttocks...

When Fang Yi tentatively inquired about the pain in Shen Binnan’s buttocks, the only answer he received was,

"Scram!"

Thus, Fang Yi understood why this woman had given him time off; it was to nurse the injury on her buttocks at home.

Hence, Fang Yi found himself with free time.

But Fang Yi, with nothing to do, felt fine on the first day but bored by the second.

This morning, as usual, Fang Yi woke up at six o’clock, shirtless, wearing beach shorts, and began to exercise around the house. Just as he was doing push-ups and sweating profusely, Xia Ziqi pushed the door open and walked in.
