Since Bing Chang was arrested and disappeared, Fu Ya Fang was ostracized by all her colleagues in the department.
Even getting hot water was a struggle.
Judgemental gazes, like shards of ice, shot from every colleague's eyes, leaving her lost and confused.
However, she also gained corresponding benefits.
No one questioned her identity; everyone knew in their hearts that this woman was a Black Star with unwavering faith.
Even the documents that passed through her hands were treated as confidential and no one dared to touch them.
A week later,
Fu Ya Fang personally presented a report on the Xian Xia Kingdom's invasion of the Black Star Empire to her department leader.
The leader praised her after reading it, "Dai Lian! You are the most diligent and meticulous employee I have ever seen."
"Who taught you your report organizing skills? They are neat and clear, easy to understand even for someone who knows nothing about it!"
Fu Ya Fang smiled shyly and replied deferentially, "You flatter me, leader. I have no hobbies, and I spend my leisure time thinking about work, so... so I make it a bit more detailed."
The leader sighed with a smile and said, "Let me tell you a piece of gossip. Lai Jing · Feng Gong saw our department's reports and scolded everyone else, but he said nothing to you."
Fu Ya Fang said nervously, "It is all thanks to your cultivation, leader. I... I... I am undeserving... I am just a girl without parents..."
The leader's sharp gaze swept across Fu Ya Fang's face in an instant, and he smiled, "We know, we know your background, don't be nervous. Keep up the good work, you have a future!"
Another week later, during lunch break,
While all colleagues in the department were resting, the door was pushed open, and Lai Jing · Feng Gong entered the department with his personal guards.
Ten employees straightened up simultaneously, not daring to breathe.
Only Fu Ya Fang was meticulously handling confidential documents, unaware of the arrival.
Because of Bing Chang's matter, all her colleagues chose to isolate Fu Ya Fang, and not one of them alerted her.
They were all holding their breath, waiting to see Fu Ya Fang embarrass herself!
Lai Jing · Feng Gong asked everyone to be quiet, stopped the guards from following, and quietly walked behind Fu Ya Fang to watch her work with bated breath.
He stood there for ten minutes,
Until Fu Ya Fang felt the surrounding air becoming somewhat heavy and glanced sideways, only then did she notice Lai Jing · Feng Gong.
"Min... Minister!" Fu Ya Fang was so startled her face turned ashen!
Just as she was about to get up, Feng Gong's large hand pressed down on her frail shoulders, and she sat back down in her chair.
"Continue working. The rest of you, what are you standing around for?" Feng Gong's voice was incredibly commanding.
Everyone lowered their heads and sat down to work.
His large hand rested on Fu Ya Fang's shoulder, soft and gentle, the warmth of his palm transferring throughout Fu Ya Fang's body.
Half an hour later, Fu Ya Fang slowly looked up and said in a low voice, "Minister... I have finished today's work, please review it."
"I have already seen it while you were working. What do you plan to do next?"
Fu Ya Fang replied truthfully, "I will re-check today's documents, and then consider tomorrow's work."
Feng Gong raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and said, "You have half a day off. This is an order. Go back and rest well."
Fu Ya Fang forced a slight smile and said, "I am alone at my residence, so returning means I will still be thinking about work... I'm sorry, Minister, please let me stay at my workstation."
Feng Gong looked at Fu Ya Fang with a gentle gaze and said, "Then come with me, I'll take you for a walk around."
After speaking, Feng Gong walked away.
Fu Ya Fang, unsure whether to be happy or worried, stood up meekly and followed him, wrapping her shoulders.
The surrounding colleagues no longer cast disdainful glares; instead, they looked on with envy.
All afternoon, Fu Ya Fang followed Lai Jing · Feng Gong through the entire Military Intelligence Department.
It was her first time realizing how vast the Military Intelligence Department was!
Over thirty large departments and more than three hundred teams.
Among them were departments handling top-secret information.
Whenever they approached a top-secret department, Fu Ya Fang would wisely stop and wait outside the door until Feng Gong emerged.
She was like a small rabbit, following behind a lion, surveying its territory.
That night, on her way back to her residence,
Two masked assailants suddenly appeared, covered Fu Ya Fang's head with a black sack, and dragged her into a dark alley that was still under construction.
The two men hurried her along for a long time, and just as Fu Ya Fang was contemplating how to save herself, the sack was suddenly removed.
The blinding white light made Fu Ya Fang unable to open her eyes.
After a moment to adjust, she squinted to see her surroundings clearly.
It was a deep cavern that had not yet been shored up or sprayed with concrete.
The interior had been cleaned, and tables and chairs were arranged around the cave walls, covered with various firearms and ammunition.
Including the kidnappers, there were a total of five people in the cavern.
They surrounded Fu Ya Fang, looking down at her coldly.
"You want to climb the ladder of success through Lai Jing · Feng Gong, but first, think about how much longer he can live!"
"Bing Chang was reported by her! This little wretch! Let her suffer all the torments Bing Chang endured!" one woman shouted angrily.
"Eliminate her, and then we act. Tonight, Lai Jing · Feng Gong will meet his end!"
"CRASH!"
The door was violently kicked open, and an intruder shouted, "Feng Gong's people are here!"
"Grab your weapons! Fight them!"
"The rest of the reinforcements are on their way, we'll hold the line!"
Six people quickly donned bulletproof vests, picked up firearms and ammunition, and rushed out.
Intense firefight sounds erupted outside, stray bullets flew, and flames flared.
Fu Ya Fang skillfully unlocked the steel handcuffs with a steel needle hidden in her sleeve,
She stood up to search for weapons, but these people were professional and had taken all the weapons they could carry.
In the end, she only found a short-barreled beam pistol and a charged energy clip.
The energy clip had a strange appearance, unlike conventional weapons.
Fu Ya Fang stared at the clip, calmly thinking for a few seconds, her expression becoming complicated.
The gunfire outside prevented her from hesitating too much.
Fu Ya Fang calmly and swiftly loaded the clip, and just as she was preparing to fight her way out, Feng Gong strode into the cavern!
"I'm here to save you, come with me quickly!" Feng Gong said.
"Minister! The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, eight people! We are trapped in the alley!"
Just as the guard shouted, a bullet penetrated his chest, and he fell to the ground, dead.
Lai Jing · Feng Gong instinctively shielded Fu Ya Fang, protecting her.
However, Fu Ya Fang quickly moved past Feng Gong and rushed to the cavern entrance.
The first enemy to break in was shot in the head by Fu Ya Fang.
She dragged the fallen enemy into the cavern and took his weapon.
Before the enemies behind him could charge in, Fu Ya Fang appeared at the cavern entrance with her gun, spraying rapid fire outside.
Blood splattered, bullets ricocheted, and she quickly emptied a magazine, taking down three enemies in front of her.
"Follow me!" Fu Ya Fang picked up the enemy's weapon and calmly said to Feng Gong.
Lai Jing · Feng Gong looked astonished and asked, "You... why..."
Facing the crisis, Fu Ya Fang calmly said while rapidly changing magazines, "To tell you the truth, I was a Xian Xia special agent. Mu Ye · Xing Chen defected from Xian Xia."
"After Mu Ye · Xing Chen was defeated, I was also exposed. Xian Xia would not let me go, so I came here to protect myself."
"I can't go back. I now pledge allegiance to Black Star. You are my superior."
"Protecting you is protecting myself."
After Fu Ya Fang finished changing the magazine, she looked back, only to see the enemies she had just shot standing behind Feng Gong.
The three enemies in front had also gotten up from the ground!
Lai Jing · Feng Gong's lips curled upwards, he raised his hand and gave three dry claps, saying coldly, "Seize her."
Fu Ya Fang's heart sank. She immediately dropped her weapon, clasped her hands on her head, and surrendered obediently.
In the dark interrogation room,
Two female torturers, clad only in their undergarments, with solid muscles and fierce expressions,
Holding whips, they lashed Fu Ya Fang's fair back, one whip after another.
The terrifying sound of the whip echoed through the interrogation room.
This most primitive method of coercion was something the Black Star people used with unfailing success.
Fu Ya Fang's back was crisscrossed with bloody welts, but she gritted her teeth tightly, not uttering a sound.
Hours earlier,
Fu Ya Fang had found a clue from that charged energy clip.
She immediately understood that they were all people arranged by Feng Gong, and this was a staged play targeting her.
Since that was the case, Lai Jing · Feng Gong must have figured out her background.
Fu Ya Fang played along, employing a strategy of "lifting the cauldron to drain the water," voluntarily revealing her identity to gain favor.
Of course, she was also psychologically prepared for harsh interrogation.
The two female interrogators stopped when their hands began to tremble,
Fu Ya Fang lowered her head, sweat mixed with blood flowing down her body.
She still hadn't uttered a sound.
Lai Jing · Feng Gong, who was observing from the adjacent room, said to the person behind him, "Is the truth serum ready? Pay attention to the dosage, don't damage her brain nerves."
"Minister, these agents have undergone professional training and have developed resistance to the drug. Reducing the dosage won't make her spill the intelligence we want," the person behind him said in a low voice.
Lai Jing · Feng Gong placed his hand on his forehead and pondered for a long time, then stood up.
He took off his black cape, unbuttoned his collar, and bent his neck, making a "crackling" sound of bones.
"Alright, I'll handle it myself."
