safe house.
"That's it. I don't know what Yao Yongkang has been busy with all day long recently. He is basically not at the research base, and he can't even be seen in person."
"Just now I was about to ask him to arrange some things, but he just left without caring at all. He also said that if anything happened, he would leave it to Luo Yiyi. I wonder if he is still worried about me re-employing Luo Yiyi. Feeling resentful.”
"Didn't I do something wrong when I promoted Luo Yiyi?"
Hearing Duan Mufeng's questioning, Ren Feifei hesitated for a moment and said clearly.
After hearing Ren Feifei's answer, Duan Mufeng, who was eating, couldn't help but frown, stopped what he was doing, and suddenly thought of something in his mind.
"You are right. Luo Yiyi does have some abilities. I have seen it for so long. There is no need to blame myself."
Duan Mufeng put down his chopsticks, looked up at Ren Feifei, who was in a bit of trouble, and said calmly.
"But if he doesn't cooperate with the work because of this matter, many affairs in the research base will not be able to operate normally. Do you think?"
Ren Feifei sighed and asked slowly.
"Besides what you just said, is there anything unusual about Yao Yongkang recently?"
Duanmu Feng thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"He...he seems to have become a different person recently. When the research base was first built, he was thinking about fighting for power with me all day long, scrambling to do all the big and small things. But recently, he suddenly let it go, and the whole There was almost no one visible in the sky.”
"Although Luo Yiyi is mainly responsible for cooperating with me now, Yao Yongkang is also responsible for many things. His doing this will greatly affect work efficiency."
Ren Feifei thought about it for a moment and told everything she knew about the situation.
"Since when?"
Duanmu Feng raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.
"I didn't pay much attention to exactly when it became like this, but it should have been after the attack on the Qingfeng."
Ren Feifei thought hard and said slowly.
Hearing Ren Feifei's answer, a chill flashed across Duanmufeng's eyes, and he understood immediately.
"okay, I get it."
"From today on, you will hand over all Yao Yongkang's work to Luo Yiyi, but don't say it was my intention. You don't have to worry about the rest."
Duanmu Feng paused and said thoughtfully.
"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements when I get back."
Ren Feifei nodded, said respectfully, then turned and left.
As Ren Feifei left, Duan Mufeng slowly leaned on the sofa and subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket. But just as he was about to light it, he found that Xu Qing was still there, so he put away the lighter.
"It doesn't matter, just smoke."
Xu Qing noticed Duan Mufeng's little move and said with a smile.
"No, just a moment."
Duan Mufeng waved his hand and put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.
"Did something happen?"
Xu Qing looked at Duan Mufeng, who looked slightly solemn, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's a piece of cake."
Duanmu Feng smiled and shook his head without saying much.
"Okay, I'm full."
"It's not too early, I should go to the training class."
Xu Qing shrugged and began to clear the dishes on the coffee table as she spoke.
After a while, Xu Qing said goodbye to Duan Mufeng and went to work in the training class.
As soon as Xu Qing left, Duan Mufeng picked up the walkie-talkie on the coffee table.
"Tang Jun! Come to my room immediately!"
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Tang Jun hurriedly walked into the room.
"Feng Shuai, what happened?"
Tang Jun asked hesitantly as he looked at Duan Mufeng, who looked slightly solemn on the sofa.
"I've recently sent people to keep an eye on Yao Yongkang. I want to know what he does every day."
Duanmu Feng said calmly with a calm face.
"Yao Yongkang? Feng Shuai is suspicious..."
After hearing this, Tang Jun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and stopped talking.
"Ren Feifei came here just now and said that something is wrong with Yao Yongkang recently. You go and check it out."
"If I am overthinking it, then consider him lucky, but if it is true, his days in the City of Hope should be over."
Duanmu Feng said coldly, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"clear!"
Tang Jun immediately agreed respectfully and quickly turned around and left.
Duan Mufeng sat on the sofa, relit the unlit cigarette, and fell into deep thought.
...
at dusk.
Yao Yongkang, who returned to the research base, angrily pushed open the door of Ren Feifei's office.
"Ren Feifei! What do you mean?!"
Yao Yongkang strode straight to Ren Feifei's desk, slapped the table hard, and asked with anger on his face.
As soon as he returned to the base, he found that all the documents in his office were missing. Then he heard someone talking that all his work had been handed over to Luo Yiyi.
But when no one else was around, the job had been handed over directly, so he came over angrily to ask for an explanation.
"Should I ask you this?"
"What have you been doing these days? You've been neglecting your work all day long. Who knows what you mean?!"
"Besides, you are my subordinate, not my boss. Who let you come in so directly? And you yelled at me? Who gave you the power?!"
Ren Feifei slowly raised her head, looked at Yao Yongkang coldly, and said expressionlessly. Facing Yao Yongkang's aggressiveness, she acted very calm and steady, but the meaning between the lines made Yao Yongkang completely stunned. to retort.
"me..."
"I just had something to do temporarily! Besides, no matter how I offended you, at least I can be considered the veteran of the safe house, right? At least I was once your mentor, right?"
“You’re trying to burn bridges like this, that’s not justified, right?!”
Yao Yongkang stopped for a moment and said loudly with a red neck.
"Don't mention the mentor thing to me! If it weren't for you, Simiao wouldn't have been just an ordinary student until his death! If it weren't for you, maybe he wouldn't have died!"
As soon as Yao Yongkang mentioned the word mentor, Ren Feifei immediately thought of the past when Yao Yongkang occupied her boyfriend Sun Simiao. When she thought of Sun Simiao, she thought of the day when Sun Simiao died in front of her, and she immediately exploded. He stood up, pointed a finger at Yao Yongkang, and said angrily.
"Sun Simiao was killed by a mutant. What does it have to do with me?"
"I admit that I did feel sorry for him at the beginning, but so much time has passed and everyone is gone. Should I let this matter go?"
Yao Yongkang knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he softened his attitude and tried his best to defend himself.
Ren Feifei snorted coldly, controlled her emotions, sat back on the chair, and ignored Yao Yongkang.
Yao Yongkang, who was left alone, coughed, his face full of embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Ren Feifei's anger came and went away faster.
"Is this your intention or Feng Shuai's?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Yongkang spoke again, staring at Ren Feifei unblinkingly.
"I alone have the final say on base matters! There is no need to report to Feng Shuai!"
"Besides, Feng Shuai is so busy every day, how can he have time to deal with your troubles!"
"I am now officially informing you that you have been fired and you will not come to work tomorrow!"
Ren Feifei snorted coldly, glanced at Yao Yongkang disdainfully, and said in a deep voice.
"Okay! Ren Feifei, you are cruel enough!"
"Let's just wait and see. Sooner or later, I want you to kneel down and beg me!"
When Yao Yongkang heard this, he was instantly angry again, but he forced himself to hold it back just as he was about to explode. Then he pointed at Ren Feifei, said a harsh word, and turned around and left the office angrily.
Ren Feifei snorted disdainfully, raised her head and glanced at Yao Yongkang who had already walked out of the door, a look of disdain flashed across his face.
In fact, she had long been fed up with Yao Yongkang, and now she took the opportunity to fire Yao Yongkang, which was exactly what she wanted.
But what she didn't know was that Feng Shuai asked her to conceal the real reason for dismissing Yao Yongkang.
...
As soon as the quarrel at the research base ended, and before Yao Yongkang left the base in anger, Tang Jun quickly arrived at Duan Mufeng's room.
"Is there any result?"
Duan Mufeng looked at Tang Jun, who looked a little solemn, and immediately knew that his guess was correct, so he asked casually.
After hearing Duan Mufeng's question, Tang Jun frowned and nodded helplessly...
