"I didn't expect the news to have reached Kyoto. It was just a small fuss. It was a joke."
"And compared to Kyoto, my City of Hope is simply a parody. I have seen it today. The streets are almost the same as before the apocalypse. Everything is thriving. I have to admire it."
Duanmu Feng waved his hand, smiled, and said lightly.
"You are too modest. Who among the people present is not impressed by the name of the City of Hope? If you don't have powerful abilities, how could you do it?"
"Not only me, but even the head of the government praised you very much after hearing the rumors about you. It is a blessing for the people of our country to have a capable person like you, and it is also a blessing for our country."
Dong Jianguo turned around and glanced at the people watching not far away, and said with certainty, and deliberately raised his voice when speaking, as if he was afraid that others would not hear his praise of Duan Mufeng.
Hearing Dong Jianguo keep praising himself in front of so many people, Duanmu Feng couldn't help but frown, but he quickly smiled and waved his hand, and did not continue this meaningless topic.
He always felt that Dong Jianguo's words just now seemed to be implying something.
Is it to make others jealous? Or do you hope to use your own name to suppress the arrogance of those people?
Duanmu Feng didn't know.
However, he guessed it was the latter, because if it was to arouse the jealousy of others, it would not be beneficial to this mission.
Moreover, it was the first time that he and Dong Jianguo met, so there could be no grudges.
"I've just given you an overview of the mission. I wonder if you have made a decision?"
Dong Jianguo looked at Duan Mufeng and asked seriously.
Hearing Dong Jianguo's question, the people from the eight forces not far away all pricked up their ears and listened. It seemed that they cared more than Dong Jianguo himself.
"Still considering."
Duanmu Feng smiled and replied casually.
"It doesn't matter. We won't leave until early tomorrow morning anyway. You still have one night to think about it."
"But I'm afraid you have to come with me now, someone wants to see you."
Dong Jianguo said with a smile.
"Who wants to see me?"
Duan Mufeng asked hesitantly and glanced at Zhao Changqing next to Dong Jianguo.
However, Zhao Changqing did not speak, but stood respectfully beside Dong Jianguo, smiling and saying nothing.
"The government wants to see you."
Dong Jianguo raised his voice and spoke slowly. When he mentioned the word "head of the capital", he put away his smile and showed great respect.
Hearing Dong Jianguo's answer, Duanmu Feng couldn't help but frown.
This was completely unexpected. He didn't expect that he had originally planned to show his face here, but instead he would be received by the capital.
When the people from the eight forces not far away heard Dong Jianguo's words, their eyes widened again.
In their eyes, although they have some power in their own land, much like the vassal kings of the old days, if they were placed before the end of the world, in the final analysis, they are just a group of evil forces that are not recognized by orthodoxy.
To them, the head of the government was an unattainable figure, but now the head of the government actually wanted to meet Duan Mufeng, which made them feel envious and jealous.
No one thought that Duanmu Feng would have such a great reputation!
However, Duanmu Feng was not as flattered as he imagined. Instead, he acted very calmly, even a little reluctantly.
"I wonder why the head of the government wants to see me? If it's about a mission, then there's no need, because once I consider participating, I will definitely go all out."
Duanmu Feng paused and said slowly.
Hearing Duan Mufeng's answer, the crowd not far away couldn't help but exclaimed. It seemed that no one thought that Duan Mufeng would refuse the interview with the capital. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
That is the leader of a country!
"I don't know what the specific matter is, but you'd better go there and you'll know then."
Dong Jianguo put away the shock on his face and said extremely seriously. There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in his words, as if he was warning Duanmu Feng that he must go if he wants to, and he must go if he doesn't.
"All right."
Duan Mufeng hesitated for a moment, and could only agree with a helpless smile.
Then he slowly stood up, followed Dong Jianguo through the crowd, and walked straight out.
In fact, he really didn't want to go, because for such a big shot, no matter what the purpose of meeting him was, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to have the best of both worlds.
If by any chance any demands were made, he would be in a dilemma.
Under the envious and jealous looks of everyone in the eight factions, Duan Mufeng followed Dong Jianguo out of the warehouse, got into a car, and turned around to leave.
Jin Ling was personally taken out of the warehouse by Zhao Changqing. Since she was Duanmufeng's person, she would enjoy the same treatment as Duanmufeng.
in the car.
"Since everyone came to Kyoto for a mission, why did the capital only receive me? Are there other details about this mission that were not mentioned just now?"
After Duanmu Feng thought for a long time, he slowly spoke again.
"Of course it's because you are different. You are different from them. The words "Echeng Fengshuai" alone are enough to receive special treatment."
Dong Jianguo smiled and said something meaningful.
After listening to Dong Jianguo's words, Duan Mufeng smiled helplessly and did not ask any more questions. He leaned against the car window, looked at the familiar streets outside the window, and lit a cigarette again.
The head of the government personally received him. It seemed that this mission was indeed not that simple. The missing scientist was far more important to Kyoto Prefecture than imagined.
After a long time, Duan Mufeng followed Dong Jianguo in a car into Zhongbeihai, stopped at the door of a villa, and then slowly got out of the car at Dong Jianguo's signal.
Looking at the heavily guarded and majestic villa in front of him, Duan Mufeng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In his previous life, he had been here, but everything was gone. He didn't know if the head of the palace who lived there was still the same person back then, or maybe that person also disappeared with the command headquarters. Just the same, he has already changed.
"Let's go."
After Dong Jianguo greeted the guard at the door, he greeted Duan Mufeng and walked straight into the villa.
Duan Mufeng didn't say anything and slowly followed behind him. When passing by the guards, he felt several vigilant and cold eyes.
Soon, the two walked into the villa and went straight to the second floor. After passing through a corridor, they came to the door of a room.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Mufeng discovered two tall and tall people, a man and a woman, standing at the door of the room.
The man was dressed in a military uniform, with an air of iron blood all over his body. He was more aggressive than the aura of Tang Jun and Lei Ming.
And from his eyes, Duanmu Feng felt a murderous aura that came from the smoke. At a glance, he knew that he was the kind of ruthless person who had killed people and been on the battlefield!
The woman is wearing a simple black Chinese tunic suit. Although the clothes are a bit old-fashioned, it shows a different charm when worn on her. She is about twenty-five or six years old, with sharp eyes, capable and cool.
Neither of these two people is simple!
This is Duanmu Feng's first impression of them!
"Minister Xu, he is the person that the head of the government said he wanted to meet before, Duan Mufeng."
After coming closer, Dong Jianguo pointed to Duan Mufeng behind him and said politely to the man in military uniform.
Hearing the word Duanmu Feng, the middle-aged man known as Minister Xu and the girl in Mao suit lit up almost at the same time, and subconsciously looked at Duan Mufeng from top to bottom.
Duan Mufeng did not speak, but smiled politely at the two of them as a greeting.
But what responded to him was not a smile, but a cold look on his face from beginning to end.
"Secretary Dong, you know the rules. You have to search yourself before entering."
The middle-aged man nodded and said stiffly. In fact, he had been as polite as possible, but he still sounded a bit cold.
"clear."
"Feng Shuai, please understand, the routine."
Dong Jianguo nodded, turned around and gave Duanmu Feng a shot.
He knew that the three people in front of him were all people he could not offend unless he had to, and neglecting any one of them would be trouble.
"good."
Duanmu Feng smiled and opened his arms, very cooperative.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man in military uniform came directly to Duan Mufeng and began to move his hands up and down Duan Mufeng, not sparing any part where a weapon might be hidden...
