Chapter 203 – Here to Pick You Up

The guards escorted all the space pirates off the ship.

Ning Fei also threw Duan Yunhong into the ranks of the detained space pirates.

He thought Ning Fei was only putting on a show of official business in front of others, and would later take him out separately to control him. After all, although Ning Fei had been quite ruthless earlier, it could also be seen as a unique way for the two of them to have fun. Even if Duan Yunhong was speechless because of it, he wasn’t really angry. Besides, when Oren was yelling at Duan Yunhong, didn’t Ning Fei decisively throw water to interrupt him? When Duan Yunhong saw that cup of water splashed on Oren’s face, he felt as refreshed as if cold water had been poured over his head in the middle of summer. He was sure that Ning Fei didn’t act because he wanted to “keep the hostage calm,” but purely to shut Oren up.

However, after the guards sent the space pirates to the temporary prison of the Pulan Planet police station, there were no further actions.

Especially Duan Yunhong, who was being held in solitary confinement. Not to mention Ning Fei, even the guards rarely appeared in front of him. There were no surprise interrogations, no series of inspections, and they didn’t even transfer him to a police starship to take him away. Duan Yunhong sat in the narrow solitary confinement cell for a day, and suddenly thought: Could it be that they are going to abandon me on this backwater planet for a year or so, until the crisis of vying for the throne is almost resolved, and then come back to bail me out?

–Tsk, Ning Fei could definitely do that!

As soon as he thought of this, Duan Yunhong immediately felt that he couldn’t just sit and wait for death. He got up and kicked the simple single bed twice, and kicked the chair away, which attracted the questioning of the monitoring system: “Duan Yunhong, what are you doing?”

“I have key intelligence that the Luo Pang Empire will definitely be interested in.” Duan Yunhong looked at the surveillance camera, “But I will only tell Ning Fei. I want to see him.”

“We will relay this information, but you are prohibited from continuing to damage imperial property, otherwise you will be given an electric shock warning.” The monitoring system replied, and then fell silent.

Duan Yunhong also stopped tossing the furniture as instructed, turned around and sat down on the bed, waiting.

Half an hour later, the communication window on the prison door was opened. Duan Yunhong turned his head, but saw Oren’s face instead of Ning Fei’s.

“How does it feel to be caught and imprisoned, Boss Duan?”

After treatment and rest, Oren’s complexion had returned to normal, and with his gleeful expression, he looked completely revived: “It’s even a solitary confinement cell, the treatment you’re getting is really too good. How about I help you apply to go to a large prison cell with a dozen or so people later? It’s lively with more people, and there might even be your ‘fellow friends’ inside, right?”

Duan Yunhong looked at his smug look, and wasn’t angry, but replied lightly: “What does my being caught have to do with you? Do you think a mere Minister of Internal Affairs can call the shots and be a ‘local emperor’ on a border planet?”

“…You don’t have to be sarcastic, what I say here, even if it’s not as effective as others, is at least more effective than yours.” Oren sneered, “But, I don’t have time to play with you, I have to rush back to continue doing my job. Don’t you think you’re too arrogant? Just with the identity of a space pirate, you want to completely destroy our goal?”

Duan Yunhong sneered when he heard this, his tone firm: “I’m not arrogant, I’m just overly cautious. Even if I do nothing, you won’t be able to do it.”

“Anyone can say nonsense, but you are a prisoner now, Duan Yunhong!” Oren said coldly, “Okay, I don’t want your life, I’m all about fairness. You gave me laxatives, and I’ll return the favor. Anyway, I’ll ask someone to randomly add something to your food and water, at uncertain times and frequencies, it depends on when you have an attack and how often it happens, isn’t it interesting and exciting? If you shit your pants in front of everyone, oh my, that scene will be so wonderful…”

“Secretary Oren, are you planning to use torture?”

Another voice came from the side. Duan Yunhong couldn’t see who it was yet, but he was very familiar with this voice.

“…Officer Ning.”

Oren turned his head and saw Ning Fei approaching, followed by guards, Pulan Planet police, and several others: “You’re here to…?”

“Official business is different, it’s not convenient to tell you.” Ning Fei’s attitude was cold, “But if you want to bribe the police to use torture, then it involves our duties.”

Oren was choked by him. After pondering for a while, he used what he thought was a clever statement: “But these space pirates made Prince Russell suffer a lot. I’m expressing my feelings on behalf of the prince. It’s not something to be exaggerated, right? Besides, I won’t take his life, nor will I leave any evidence. Don’t you all even want to accommodate this small wish of a member of the royal family?”

“You represent the prince? I think Prince Russell is in pretty good condition, eating well and drinking well, and he didn’t mention any resentment towards the space pirates. On the contrary, I only know that you have been lying in the medical center for most of the day, and in the blink of an eye, you have come to see the kidnapping suspect without permission.” Ning Fei replied coldly, “I don’t want to pursue who gave you the convenience door in private, and I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear about the torture. Now please move aside, I’m going to take him away.”

“The victim is the royal family, Officer Ning’s integrity is being used in the wrong place.” Oren was disgraced in front of several police officers, feeling very unhappy, and frowned, “Where are you taking him?”

“Ha, the question is…” Ning Fei didn’t finish his comment, only replaced the end of the sentence with a mocking smile, and then continued, “The guards are escorting the space pirates away, of course they are being sent to where they should go. Otherwise, what are we taking them out for? To set them free?”

As soon as these words came out, the others almost burst out laughing, but fortunately they managed to hold back.

“You…!” Oren was really dissatisfied with this guard captain. But now the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and those present are all from the police system. Oren couldn’t do anything to him, so he could only rack his brains to find fault: “You are preparing to take them away? Then why did you refuse when I asked you to escort Prince Russell back to the capital star just now? There’s nothing wrong with your warship at all!”

“I didn’t say there was something wrong with the warship, but as soon as these space pirates came, there was no room on the ship. Moreover, the warship escorting the suspects is in a complicated situation, so I’m sorry we can’t accommodate you.” Ning Fei said leisurely, “The dignified prince and secretary can’t squeeze together with the criminals, right? The Special Operations Team is not the Royal Guard, since we have already contacted the royal family, we will not overstep our authority.”

Oren heard him say that the Royal Guard was coming to pick up the people, and was a little worried that if it was the force of the eldest prince who came, it would be like Russell had just left the tiger’s den and entered the wolf’s den. He thought for a while, glanced at the other team members present, leaned closer to Ning Fei and said in a low voice: “Then please divide some people to participate in the escort? We can pay extra.”

“We are the Imperial Guard, not a private bodyguard team.” Ning Fei took a step back to avoid him, and replied with a smile that was not a smile, “If you want to pay to hire someone, you can go to a private team, but remember to find a reliable one, don’t be abducted by space pirates again.”

“Ning Fei, watch your attitude!” Oren heard his sarcasm become more and more obvious, and finally couldn’t help but warn, his tone also raised uncontrollably because of his anger, “Have you not been to the capital star for too long, and don’t know what the positions of Minister of Internal Affairs and Royal Secretary are, and what powers they have? Even if my relationship with the guard system is not direct, it is still very simple to write a letter or give a suggestion. You don’t want to be a small police chief all your life, and keep running around outside the capital star, do you?”

“Tch.”

Ning Fei and the other guards didn’t react much, but Duan Yunhong inside laughed first.

Oren glared at him: “You loser, what are you laughing at?!”

“‘Loser’? Have you won yet? Even if I am a loser, I am not your subordinate. You don’t have much ability, but you are very good at putting gold on your face.” Duan Yunhong was not angry, but found it ridiculous, “As for laughing, can’t I laugh when I see a joke? Someone is incompetent and furious, someone is blind, can’t I laugh?”

Oren was so angry that he was out of breath, but before he could think of new words or tricks, Ning Fei said: “Boss Duan is really bold, dare to say such things, do you know ‘what the positions of Minister of Internal Affairs and Royal Secretary are, and what powers they have’?”

The last half of the sentence completely copied Oren’s original words, causing Duan Yunhong to laugh out loud, bursting out with a string of unbridled laughter. This attitude was much worse than Ning Fei’s. Oren was so stimulated that he couldn’t care about his image, and shouted at Ning Fei and the police officers: “Electric shock! Why don’t you give him an electric shock warning?! Just let a heinous kidnapper be so arrogant?”

“You asked for it yourself. And if you hadn’t been delaying here all the time, I would have taken him away long ago, how could he have had such an opportunity?” Ning Fei suppressed his laughter, turned his head to look at the police officers of Pulan Planet, “Excuse me, handover.”

“Oh, okay.” The police officer of Pulan Planet finally withdrew his eyes from watching the excitement, said “Excuse me” to Oren, and then stepped forward to open the prison door. Although Duan Yunhong had freedom of movement in the room, he had electronic shackles on his hands and feet, which Ning Fei had personally put on before. It was just that after entering the prison, the connecting chain in the middle was removed. Now that the police officer approached him, he was not afraid that he would suddenly riot, after all, the electronic warning function of the shackles was still in effect.

The police officer re-attached the chain that restricted movement to Duan Yunhong, and then handed over the shackle authority to Ning Fei, which was considered to have handed the person over to him. Duan Yunhong cooperated throughout the whole process, came to Ning Fei, changed his previous arrogant appearance, and only stared at his eyes under the brim of his hat and said: “You finally came, I thought you were not interested in ‘key intelligence’.”

“To verify the identity of everyone in your gang, to verify the identity of Prince and Secretary, to contact the royal family, and to handle the handover procedures, set the route, and report the escort process for taking you away… Do you think I’m as free as you are?” Ning Fei said leisurely, while skillfully buttoning the second chain between his handcuffs, grabbing the other end, “You better really have ‘key intelligence’, otherwise… I can’t guarantee what will happen on the escort warship.”

The long string of words in front was more of an explanation than a complaint. Duan Yunhong heard it, lowered his eyes and smiled: “Don’t worry, the content is both plentiful and key, I guarantee to know everything and say everything.”

“Okay, then I’ll verify it sentence by sentence.” Ning Fei sneered, raised his eyes and stared at him, “If there is even one answer that I am not satisfied with… you are dead.”

Duan Yunhong seemed to hear the hidden meaning in these words.

Oren heard it in his ears, and always felt that the atmosphere between the two was strange. But before he could figure it out, Ning Fei had already used the action of turning around to block him away, and dragged Duan Yunhong away.

Duan Yunhong coldly glanced at Oren one last time. Oren thought he was going to say something sarcastic again, but Duan Yunhong quickly turned back.

–Tsk, although I don’t know why they don’t recognize each other, if Ning Fei is here to help complete the task… it’s cheap for this idiot.
