Chapter 439 Infiltration
Chapter 439 Infiltration
What exactly was it that he had to steal? Cabernet never revealed the answer.
Mr. Thief seemed to be there just to freeload. He packed up all the snacks Fan Wei had made, then, with a smile on his face as he looked back, he stepped onto the windowsill and leaped out.
The two watched as he transformed into a thin shadow, vanished into thin air, and disappeared without a trace.
What should we do next?
Dust spoke softly, taking the initiative to change the subject. She really didn't expect that the always reliable and steady Misel would actually be friends with the rumored playboy thief!
As a hybrid who always tried to survive cautiously, Dust had no liking for the flamboyant Aricabelen.
In particular, his crazy plan made the girl very worried that Fan Wei might impulsively follow him.
Although she possessed the almost miraculous ability to make wishes, she still didn't believe she could defeat the empire's power and the incomparably powerful and supreme emperor.
"Yes, let's keep in touch with old friends. The theme of the New Year is family reunion!"
Although this is not his hometown, Fan Wei is looking forward to a joyful and lively reunion on this special holiday!
Moreover, the more people you gather for the New Year's event, the better the rewards you'll receive.
If we can really mobilize everyone in the capital, then there's a chance we might even get our hands on those legendary gold-tier items on the reward list!
"Speaking of which..." Fan Wei frowned slightly as he thought of something, "Tong hasn't contacted me for a while."
Thinking back to the partner he met in the capital, he sensed something was amiss, as they were supposed to be secret allies who had agreed to 'save the world' together.
The somewhat chuunibyou-esque prophetic girl said she would keep an eye on him, contact him from time to time, and offer guidance.
But since their last meeting, Fan Wei had not heard any news about Tong. Perhaps it was due to the Empire's restrictions, but at least she should have given him some hints through her subordinates.
Even the Eyes Squad hasn't contacted them...
Fan Wei suddenly looked up, "Miss Dust, wait for me at home, I have to go out for a while!"
"What's wrong?" Hearing Misel's serious tone, Dust, who was wondering who 'Pupil' was again, immediately asked with concern.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's necessary to go and check it out."
Taking his coat off the coat rack and putting it on, Fan Wei walked silently toward the door. He didn't have Cabernet's stealth skills, and with so many eyes watching, he couldn't show any anxiety.
"I'll come with you." Dust caught up from behind, grabbed Fan Wei's hand, and looked at him with worry in his heterochromatic eyes, fearing he would be left behind.
"Please believe me, I can help!"
Looking into the girl's anxious, heterochromatic eyes, Fan Wei felt both moved and helpless. The reason he left the dust behind was that he didn't want to implicate her, since the next operation might be very dangerous.
But the dust's determination left him speechless; he could only clench his fists and nod vigorously.
Maintaining a leisurely pace, Fan Wei patiently rode to the Tongji Agency. From afar, when he got out of the car, the guards on duty all looked constipated.
They will never forget how this man went in and out of the government office three times, doing whatever he pleased!
"Still busy?" Fan Wei greeted him with a grin, as if he really was just strolling around.
The guards remained silent, their faces stern as they let him into the mechanism; they couldn't stop him anyway...
The rebuilt Pupil Agency is much more magnificent than before, with the hall renovated to resemble a crystal palace. However, the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere inside was shattered as someone stepped in.
Many people glanced at it subconsciously, then felt a chill run down their spines, and as if they had suddenly remembered that they hadn't finished their work, they lowered their heads and hurriedly left.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, with only the waiter standing there with a stiff smile, unable to leave.
Speechless at such a strong reaction, Fan Wei grabbed a nearby official who was forcing himself to walk past him, pretending not to see him, and said with a smile.
"I would like to meet with Director Tong."
Do I know you that well? The official, who deeply regretted choosing to slack off in the hall, clenched his fists, but as a loser, he had no right to resist the strong!
"Tong, Director Tong was injured some time ago and is currently recuperating. She is not summoning anyone at the moment."
The official, forced to speak the truth with frustration, tried to break free but found himself unable to move.
Why does he seem even scarier now?!
Before the shock in his heart had subsided, the unfortunate official suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A suffocating pressure shot straight to his heart, giving him the illusion that his whole body was ice cold!
That was the aura produced by Fan Wei's emotional fluctuations.
"Tell me in detail, why was Tong injured?"
Fan Wei's tone remained calm, but compared to his previous gentleness, it carried the chill of an imperial winter. The sharpness emanating from his True Overlord Battle Qi silenced the entire hall.
"I don't know the specific details either." The unlucky official became honest, and there was even cold sweat on his hair.
He avoided Fan Wei's eyes and explained in detail, "This is a message from the Royal Prime Minister's Office, it's classified, and we have no right to know the details."
"In short, Director Tong is currently recuperating from her injuries and is not seeing anyone."
“…I understand.” Fan Wei didn’t make things difficult for the unlucky guy in front of him, and asked casually, “Where did the Eyes Squad go? They’re in contact with Director Tong and are carrying out her mission.”
"Is it Skava and his team? They were dispatched to other countries on a mission. They left in a hurry, just a few days ago."
So that's how it is. Fan Wei sensed the 'control' motive. He didn't know if Tong was really injured, but the royal family's intention to keep her out of sight was quite obvious.
The pressure from the royal family... Fan Wei remained silent for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment.
"I understand." Releasing his hand, Fan Wei smiled naturally. "You don't mind if I rest at the office for a while, do you? Please prepare a room for me."
I mind, I mind very much!
This was the sentiment of everyone present from the Pupil Agency, but due to Misel Van's tyrannical power, they could only reluctantly prepare.
Dust silently followed Fan Wei into the guest room located to the side of the Pupil Agency, keeping a low profile like a follower.
"What should we do?" As the door closed, and Fan Wei's expression turned serious, Chen Hui looked up and asked.
Although she always felt that getting involved with the royal family was a dangerous and bad thing to do, she would eventually listen to Fan Wei's wishes if he wanted to.
“I’m going to try to infiltrate.” Fan Wei also felt it was tricky. He should have told Cabernet not to leave so hastily. This was Cabernet’s specialty, while he wasn’t so proficient.
Although the Ranger is somewhat related to scouts, this is the Pupil Mechanism!
Infiltrating was no less difficult than stealing under the spotlight, and the consequences of being caught were no joke. He considered going back for help, but time was of the essence.
Fan Wei was deeply uneasy, suspecting that Tong was being imprisoned.
He could always sense the loneliness and helplessness hidden in Tong's heart. If even her last bit of freedom were taken away, she must be feeling terrible.
Fortunately, it's not impossible to solve it on my own...
As a master chef, don't underestimate his ability to handle all sorts of troubles!
"Miss Dust, the next operation might be dangerous. Would you be willing to try it with me?"
Reaching out to the mixed-race girl, Fan Wei revealed a hearty smile. Dust's eyes glazed over for a moment, then transformed into two resolute beams of light, grasping Misser's hand.
rest assured...
The girl thought to herself, "I will absolutely not let you lose!"
