Chapter 94 – Within and Beyond the Plan

Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong reveled through the night, only truly waking up the next afternoon.

They naturally got out of bed, got dressed, and then said “goodbye” to each other. After that, Ning Fei opened the door and walked out, his attitude as casual as if he were just going out to throw away some trash. However, Duan Yunhong knew that the moment his figure disappeared outside the bedroom door, he had left this world.

Before leaving, Ning Fei sent Lin Shengjia a message. Lin Shengjia saw it during class, but he could only call back after class. However, by that time, Lin Shengjia couldn’t find Ning Fei’s phone number in his phone anymore. Even if he dialed the number from memory, the reply on the other end of the line was “The number you dialed is a nonexistent number.” All traces of Ning Fei’s existence had been completely erased.

Lin Shengjia was somewhat unwilling. He came to Shenzhen to complain to Duan Yunhong, even trying to confirm whether Ning Fei had really left. But Duan Yunhong was even more cold-blooded, telling him that not only had Ning Fei left long ago, but he himself would also leave here in a month. He wouldn’t give any further notice at that time, and Lin Shengjia should prepare himself mentally.

Lin Shengjia was extremely depressed and couldn’t help but say, “Damn, so casual… I feel like a stray dog that was adopted by a family for a few days and then thrown out.”

Duan Yunhong: “…”

Duan Yunhong: “Wanting to be a dog, a very special hobby, but don’t come and show off in front of me.”

Lin Shengjia: “That’s not what I meant!”

Duan Yunhong was too lazy to care what he meant. With Ning Fei gone, he treated Lin Shengjia even more casually, to the point where he wouldn’t speak unless asked, and wouldn’t take him along unless he followed. Lin Shengjia, on the other hand, became even more eager to follow in his footsteps because of his great anxiety and confusion about the future, and actually became more eager to learn.

However, more than half a month later, when Duan Yunhong returned to Nancheng, Lin Shengjia, who was still in college, didn’t come along.

As soon as Duan Yunhong returned to the Ji family, he heard something: Ji Xingzhe actually wanted to try starting his own business, and even found many people of his age to partner or invest.

Duan Yunhong knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. This wasn’t about wanting to start a business, it was about raising money to make up for that financial hole, right?

However, he still asked, “What kind of business does he want to do?”

Ji Zhenwei, Tang Huilan, and Ji Xingzhe were all present. This question should have been answered by Ji Xingzhe. But facing Duan Yunhong’s gaze, he hesitated for a long time and couldn’t answer. Ji Zhenwei helped him answer: “He wants to do something related to the internet, just like you. He’s probably afraid you’ll look down on his scale, so he doesn’t dare to tell you, hahaha. But Xingzhe, you too, if you want to start a business, just tell me, and I’ll invest in you. Why do you have to find your classmates and friends to raise funds? How much money can they have?”

As he said that, Ji Zhenwei turned to look at Duan Yunhong, saying half-jokingly and half-proudly, “He’s making quite a stir, asking a lot of people if they want to invest. His business plan is also somewhat presentable, making the families of those kids ask me if the Ji family is officially entering the internet industry.”

Duan Yunhong calculated and understood that Ji Xingzhe had to find so many people. He used to have some friends who could contribute a lot, like Qin Ran and Zhu Yueting, who could indeed take out tens of thousands of yuan each. However, these friends have either broken up or distanced themselves. If Ji Xingzhe still wants to raise enough money in a short period of time, he naturally needs to deceive more people.

Thinking of this, Duan Yunhong looked at Ji Xingzhe and asked with a meaningful tone, “So, you’ve already started your business and raised funds. Then how much money have you raised so far? What is the rate of return you’re giving? What have you already done, and where has the money gone?”

Ji Xingzhe dared not say a word.

Duan Yunhong had already seen through his petty tricks, and he also knew that Duan Yunhong had seen through him. Ji Zhenwei and Tang Huilan were both present, and the more their gazes on Ji Xingzhe carried admiration and expectation, the more suffocating it was for him.

Ji Zhenwei didn’t understand his son’s reaction, only seeing that he hadn’t answered for a long time, he urged, “What are you nervous about? Just say it directly, don’t be so timid…”

“Brother.” Duan Yunhong was a little tired of Ji Xingzhe’s pathetic expression, and finally stood up and said lightly, “I have something to talk to you about. Let’s go to your study.”

“Now? What is it?”

“It’s quite important, you’ll know when you get there.” Duan Yunhong picked up the briefcase he had brought, glanced at Ji Xingzhe who was completely frozen, and turned to walk towards the stairs, “Let’s go.”

Ji Zhenwei was a little puzzled, but he decided to listen to what important things this younger brother wanted to say, so he got up and followed.

Ji Xingzhe looked at the actions of these two men, and his heart felt like the sky was falling. He subconsciously stood up and shouted, “Uncle…!”

Duan Yunhong paused on the stairs, turned his head, and looked down at him.

The cold, dark gaze froze Ji Xingzhe speechless. In fact, his brain couldn’t think of anything to say. He could only look at the other party with a pleading expression, hoping that the ruthless man would let him off.

However, Duan Yunhong just silently turned back and continued upstairs, followed by Ji Zhenwei, who was currently in a good mood.

Ji Xingzhe stood blankly, watching their figures disappear, frozen in place. It wasn’t until Tang Huilan asked him what was wrong that he woke up from his dream and ran back to his room as if he were fleeing.

With a “bang!” he closed the door, locked it, and hid under the covers, shivering.

As if in this way, he wouldn’t hear those terrible words.

After Duan Yunhong and Ji Zhenwei entered the study, Ji Zhenwei went straight to his “master’s seat” – the chair behind the desk, and then asked casually, “Speak, what’s the matter? Is there a problem in Shenzhen?”

Duan Yunhong didn’t answer immediately, but opened his briefcase in front of him, took out several documents, and threw them all on the desk in front of Ji Zhenwei.

Ji Zhenwei was relaxed at first, but when he picked up the top document and saw the cover, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

“‘Paternity Test Report’? …Between me and Xingzhe?!”

On the other side, at the Space-Time Administration, in the employee residential area.

Ning Fei was enjoying his routine “one month after the mission” vacation, and had been lying lazily for a long time. His last mission settlement score was not bad, with a KPI evaluation of 80%, which was a satisfactory result for Ning Fei. After all, if he wanted to achieve a 100% completion rate for this mission, he would have to follow Lin Shengjia until his adoptive parents passed away, which was too inefficient for him. Getting an 80% score in two years, Ning Fei deserves to be called a “cost-effective expert.”

During this month at the Administration, Ning Fei rested while browsing the to-do task list, preparing for the next mission.

He was actually a little undecided about what kind of mission he should take this time. It goes without saying that it must guarantee the completion rate, but he also had to choose some that were convenient for him to take action, so that Duan Yunhong wouldn’t be able to hinder his success so easily. And while choosing the mission, Ning Fei also had to preliminarily design an action plan. Including how to help the transmigrator, how Duan Yunhong might intervene, and contingency plans.

In the execution of this mission, dealing with Duan Yunhong may be more important than controlling the transmigrator.

Ning Fei knew very well that once he stepped into Duan Yunhong’s trap during the mission, he would likely suffer repeated setbacks. To deal with this risk, it was best to analyze Duan Yunhong’s style of action more and come up with enough contingency plans in advance. This way, at least he could react quickly when encountering trouble, instead of waiting stupidly for the other party to make a move.

Although theoretically, even if he lost, it would only mean losing the “salary” of a mission world. But thinking of Duan Yunhong’s vaguely triumphant winner’s posture when he was in the upper hand, Ning Fei felt unhappy. Duan Yunhong’s appearance was very good, and he was quite capable, but Ning Fei felt that his smug look was really ordinary. The kind of unwillingness and stubbornness after losing was more… pleasing. And this guy actually forced Ning Fei to compete in order to win Ning Fei once. Ning Fei was holding his breath from the beginning, thinking that he had to win this game to be really happy.

So Ning Fei, for the first time in a long time, seriously studied a person for a long time.

He made a three-dimensional analysis diagram of Duan Yunhong, hung up a lot of labels, made a lot of detailed records, and then extended the man’s action assumptions from this. If others saw this analysis diagram, they would probably think that this was Ning Fei’s assassination target, and would never have thought that Ning Fei and the man in the diagram had had intimate relations.

And during the analysis process, Ning Fei would occasionally think of the follow-up of Lin Shengjia and Ji Xingzhe. He usually didn’t recall the completed missions very much, but this time Duan Yunhong was still there to finish it, and he didn’t know whether Duan Yunhong followed his previous instructions and promoted the realization of the plan one by one.

In fact, even if Duan Yunhong didn’t do it, Ning Fei wouldn’t know. Ning Fei wasn’t even sure whether there would really be a chance for the two of them to sit down and have a good chat even if they both went to the next mission world. Under this premise, guessing whether Duan Yunhong would do it seemed to have become a kind of fun for Ning Fei.

However, what he never expected was that just when Ning Fei had basically determined the type of mission he wanted to do in the next world, an uninvited guest appeared.

“Emergency assistance mission? And it’s specifically assigned to me?” Ning Fei looked at the flashing sign in his inbox and clicked it open in confusion, “Why is it specified again? I don’t have that many connections, do I…”

Moreover, he had already responded to Chonglin’s request for emergency assistance last time, and the next time he had to respond hadn’t arrived yet. Just as he was thinking about rejecting this time, the applicant’s signature for emergency assistance made him stunned.

“It’s you…”

Ning Fei’s gaze condensed on that name for a long time, his fingertip gently stretched out. Just as he seemed about to stroke the name, his hand slowly slid down and clicked on the “Agree” button.

A line of large characters suddenly jumped out on the screen, and a voice broadcast also accompanied it.

“You have responded to ‘Designated Emergency Assistance: Doomsday Ability User Debt Collection Mission’.”
