Chapter 78: Chapter 78: That’s So Boring
Jiang Feiyang, seeing that Feng Ziping had completely settled down, waved both hands, making all the soldiers and the armor on his body disappear into beams of light and enter his ring.
After doing all this, he changed back to his regular attire and began to manipulate his inner power to connect with the outside world. In no time, the restrictive ripples above the Jiezhi Space gradually vanished, and he stood there with his arms crossed, waiting for his colleagues to arrive.
"Cough, cough! Before I’m taken away, can I ask you two last questions?" Feng Ziping coughed several times, spat out the blood from his mouth, and asked unwillingly while lying on the ground staring at Jiang Feiyang.
Jiang Feiyang gave him a glance and said generously, "Go ahead! I will choose which ones to answer."
"On the high platform, I hit soldiers you manipulated with your ability, right?"
"That’s right! I spent a lot of money to have human soldiers specifically modeled after my appearance and physique, each with costumes costing over a thousand bucks."
"When did you and your real body swap?"
Jiang Feiyang smiled and countered, "You’ve already guessed it, haven’t you?"
Feng Ziping closed his eyes. Yes, it was when he disappeared among the guards that he had already swapped places with the puppet soldiers. Thinking of this, he continued to ask, "Then why didn’t my initial silver needle attack on you have any effect? It must have been the real you, it couldn’t have been a stand-in!"
"Do I need to tell you everything? Have you forgotten your current situation?" Jiang Feiyang listened to Feng Ziping’s almost interrogative tone and said impatiently, raising an eyebrow.
Facing Jiang Feiyang’s sarcasm, Feng Ziping nodded helplessly, looking at the gradually flashing lights within the Jiezhi Space. He knew that the person coming to take him away had arrived, then he looked back at Jiang Feiyang and asked, "Before I leave, I want to know one last question. You’re actually more than a first-level Awakened, right? Even if your ability is extraordinary, a first-level Awakened’s inner power storage shouldn’t be able to affect so many objects simultaneously!"
"Yes, I’m a third-level Awakened!" Jiang Feiyang shrugged indifferently.
Although he had already suspected as much, hearing Jiang Feiyang say it himself, Feng Ziping still shouted excitedly with reddened eyes, "Then why didn’t you show your ability from the start? If you had shown your ability from the start, we wouldn’t have put up a futile resistance!"
Upon hearing Feng Ziping’s words, Jiang Feiyang crouched down next to him with a rare smile and said, "Where’s the fun in that? Besides, it was you guys who couldn’t see the situation. I gave them opportunities! Four times! They themselves didn’t seize it, and even after witnessing my ability, they still clung to a lucky chance and resisted desperately. I can’t be blamed for that." After speaking, Jiang Feiyang showed a chilling smile that made Feng Ziping shiver all over.
However, his smugness didn’t last long before someone kicked him hard in the butt, sending him flying and landing on top of Feng Ziping.
"Who! Who the hell kicked me!" Jiang Feiyang supported himself on Feng Ziping’s body, quickly got up, and was about to curse when he saw the man in black behind him and Hu Wenjun standing silently beside him, immediately switching to a fawning smile, "Captain Hu, Director Wei!"
The black-clad leader, called Director Wei by him, pointed at Jiang Feiyang repeatedly in anger, and finally, unable to control himself, went up and kicked him again, but Jiang Feiyang deftly dodged it.
"Dodge! Just dodge again! Ah, it’s the same thing every time! Stand still for me!" Director Wei shouted angrily, ordering. Jiang Feiyang looked aggrievedly at Hu Wenjun, who was frantically winking at him, so he had no choice but to obey and step forward.
Another fierce side kick landed on his backside, making him stagger. Director Wei wouldn’t let it go, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him beside a body that lay trampled like meat pulp, shouting loudly, "How many times! How many times have I had to tell you this! Every time the scene is like a damn mess! Do you have some kind of psychological issue? Whether you do or not, after a few more times of handling these scenes, my men will all have psychological issues! For crying out loud, can’t you just let my team have a peace of mind during the New Year!"
"Director Wei, you know my ability. The other side resisted stubbornly, and my army couldn’t handle the details as we rushed through, but I’ll treat everyone to a meal afterwards! You guys choose the restaurant!" Jiang Feiyang looked at that pile of mush on the ground, and then at Director Wei, knowing that he was truly furious this time, he explained and flattered loudly towards his colleagues who were all looking at him with disdain.
Seeing his ingratiating appearance, Director Wei let him go, flicked his sleeve to dust off his clothes, and scolded coldly, "Alright, who wants your meal! Just pay attention next time, and I’ll see how you write this report when you get back!"
"I’ve learned my lesson. I recorded it all this time! Listen!" With that, Jiang Feiyang took out a recorder and pressed it, playing the audio of him loudly ordering the others to abandon resistance, including the arrogant attitude of Wu Jie.
"I also have video evidence; I did everything according to the bureau’s regulations. They were too vicious, what could I do! I’ve risked my life for the bureau many times, almost losing it to the enemy! If I didn’t do this, could I have survived!" In the end, Jiang Feiyang’s voice sounded immensely wronged, with tears about to spill over his eyes.
"Alright, alright! Stop pretending! Go! Unlock the confinement ring and get out!" Hu Wenjun, standing beside him, couldn’t bear it any longer, came forward to mediate, pushed him aside, went near Director Wei, took out a cigarette and offered it to lead him to a side to talk.
The moment before, Jiang Feiyang was full of grievance, but immediately put on a smiling face, eagerly running to Feng Ziping’s side to assist the men in black to unlock the confinement ring and put it away.
Feng Ziping, witnessing the scene, closed his eyes in anguish. From the start, they had set a trap for them, and that arrogant fool Wu Jie just buried his head in it, losing his life in vain.
In the business car of Shen Yu and others, Pei Yan glanced over as Jiang Feiyang, slightly panting, hopped in after pulling the car door, offering a bottle of drink, "Didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon."
"Yeah, I’m on duty this New Year! How was the first battle achievement?" Jiang Feiyang took the drink, took a sip, and asked.
Pei Yan leaned back on the seat with a long sigh, "Eliminated one and captured two."
"Hmm, quite impressive, reminds me of my own days." Jiang Feiyang said, patting Pei Yan on the leg, then continued, "Did you receive the gift from Shangxing?"
Pei Yan looked at Jiang Feiyang curiously and asked, "Gift! How do you know about the gift? Have you received one too?"
"I haven’t, I’m not in your squad! But anyone in Shangxing’s team, like Xia Yu, Ye Jiumu, or even former Wang Wenze, all received it. It’s considered his acknowledgment and a joining ceremony gift!" Jiang Feiyang said as he lazily leaned back in his chair, lamenting, "This Shen Yu gang of bastards, they’re really rich, this nice car is really different, so comfy to sit in."
"Did Shangxing tell them about his past stories too?"
"Stories? What stories? I haven’t heard Xia Yu or the others mention anything! Did Shangxing have stories? Wasn’t he just brought back by the bureau from the Shanghai Zoo?" Jiang Feiyang asked with great interest upon hearing this.
"Oh, it’s nothing, just some stuff from his missions!" Pei Yan, seeing Jiang Feiyang’s ignorance, dodged the question, realizing this secret wasn’t known by everyone in the bureau either.
