Chapter 488: Seeking Coperation
Chen Yu’s first reaction was that there must be a mistake!
Fang Heng should be fighting with Kou Huai in District 7 right now. In theory, both sides were already in deep water. Why did he suddenly come back to District 8?
After personally seeing the complete report on the main storyline mission of the Dark Knights provided by Xu Bin, Chen Yu was still dumbfounded.
Deputy commander of the Dark Knights?
A special mission related to the main storyline mission?
And the mission was successfully completed? Was it confirmed that Fang Heng had obtained the information on the next main storyline mission?
Chen Yu was completely confused.
At the main video conference venue, the acting chief commander of the Federation’s District 8, Han Jiong, had clearly stated the mission target for the next stage.
Restart the main storyline mission and do your best to partic.i.p.ate in the main storyline mission!
After the meeting had ended, Chen Yu was still a little confused about the situation.
Just as he walked out of the conference room, two Federation soldiers blocked Chen Yu’s path.
“Mr. Chen Yu, Officer Han wants to see you. We will bring you over now.”
...
......
Ten minutes later, in the meeting room, Fang Heng met the acting chief commander of District 8, Han Jiong.
Not long ago, the former chief commander of District 8 had been dismissed by the Federation due to his poor performance in dealing with Night Owl’s various problems. The temporarily replaced chief commander had just taken office and was seriously ill and unable to work.
As a result, Han Jiong, who had temporarily replaced him, became the acting chief commander of District 8 and temporarily exercised his command authority.
Other than him, more than twenty people in the hall were all high-level commanders of District 8 and commanders of large-sized shelters.
Han Jiong was a young man in his early thirties.
After learning that Fang Heng had returned and that the main storyline of District 8 had been restarted, he immediately summoned the Federation of District 8 to immediately start restarting the main storyline mission plan.
However, when it came to the specific operation, a problem arose.
The higher-ups of District 8 were divided into two factions, and there were some disputes.
One side thought that the Federation should cooperate with Fang Heng now and think of ways to join the main storyline mission to obtain the right to unlock the final game ownership.
The other side thought that there was a high probability that Fang Heng was involved with District 7 and was a troublesome character. It might even be related to Night Owl. It was best to control him, bring him in for investigation, and then think of ways to investigate the main storyline mission on their own.
Before the video of the previous meeting, everyone had been arguing for more than an hour without coming to a conclusion.
The entire meeting room was silent. Everyone’s gaze was focused on Chen Yu, which made Chen Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.
He had rarely seen such a scene and was even more nervous at this moment.
“Chen Yu.”
Chen Yu suddenly quivered, “Here!”
“I’ve seen some of your information. You have worked with Fang Heng in the past. Based on your understanding of Fang Heng, what do you think of Fang Heng’s att.i.tude towards our Federation? Is it possible for him to cooperate with us?”
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. “In the past, Fang Heng has always been close to our District 8. I believe that he is willing to work with us.”
“Then do you think that Fang Heng can be trusted?” Han Jiong stared at Chen Yu. “District 7 doesn’t have a good impression of him. District 7’s chief commander, Kou Huai, believes that Fang Heng is the mastermind behind this. What do you think?”
“This...”
Faced with this question, Chen Yu hesitated.
Personally, he felt that there was a high probability that the matter in District 7 was orchestrated by Fang Heng.
In the past, he thought that Night Owl was a terrorist organization, but now...
At least from the situation in District 7, ten Night Owls combined could not compare to Fang Heng’s destructive power.
“Sir, I can’t confirm this, but I think that Fang Heng is not from the anti-federal organization. District 7 must have made a mistake.”
“Yes...”
Han Jiong nodded and continued to ask, “Chen Yu, if I let you communicate with Fang Heng and convince Fang Heng to let us join the main storyline mission, how confident do you think you are?”
Chen Yu frowned.
Convince Fang Heng to join the shared main storyline mission?
It would be very difficult!
“I can give it a try. I’ll definitely do my best!”
“Alright, I’ll authorize you to carry out this mission. Report to me immediately if anything happens.”
“Yes!”
Han Jiong looked at Chen Yu. “You can make the call now.”
Now?
Chen Yu was stunned.
He realized that everyone was waiting for him to make the call.
Chen Yu smiled bitterly, took out his mobile phone and turned it on.
He did have Fang Heng’s number, but in most cases, Fang Heng would not pick up the phone.
“Sir, I’ll try, but he may still be in the game, so he can’t pick up the phone.”
As Chen Yu spoke, he dialed Fang Heng’s number.
After three busy tones, the phone was picked up.
Chen Yu heard a familiar voice.
“Yo? Chen Yu, long time no see!”
He picked up the call!
Fang Heng actually picked up the call!
Initially, he only wanted to give it a try. He did not expect Fang Heng to really pick up the call!
In the meeting room, many of the Federation’s higher-ups were discussing in low voices.
“Quiet!”
Han Jiong signaled for everyone in the office to quiet down. He turned his head to look at Chen Yu and immediately said, “Put him on speakerphone, pick up!”
Chen Yu’s heart pounded wildly. He thought to himself, “Fang Heng hasn’t answered the phone for tens of thousands of years. Why is he picking up the phone at this time?”
Please don’t mess around!
Chen Yu took a deep breath and steadied his mind. “h.e.l.lo? Fang Heng?”
“Hey, Chen Yu, I have good news for you. I’m back in District 8. I was looking for you. Are you free today? Come to the prison to play. How about I treat you to some barbecue?”
Barbecued meat?
Chen Yu recalled the time when he had barbecued meat with Fang Heng and the others in the prison not long ago. For a moment, he was stunned.
On the side, a Federation soldier nudged him gently.
Chen Yu quickly came back to his senses and said, “Sure, barbecued meat. When?”
“Anytime is fine. It’s up to you. After all, I have something to ask you for help.” Fang Heng’s giggling voice came from the other end of the phone. “I remember someone said that as long as I return to District 8, he will take care of me.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu was so fl.u.s.tered that cold sweat was about to break out. He saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the meeting room.
This Big Brother who caused trouble wherever he went...
How could I, Chen Yu, have the ability to protect you!
“Cough cough, Fang Heng, let’s be serious...”
“Hahaha, Chen Yu, I’m just joking. After all, I’m not a bad person. Why have you become more timid recently?”
On the phone, Fang Heng’s tone was unusually relaxed, “I’m a law-abiding citizen of the Federation. Look, I was kidnapped some time ago. Once I escaped, I immediately cut off contact with District 7 and immediately came back to District 8. I completely cut off all contact with District 7.”
“Actually, the reason why I am inviting you to have a barbecue with me is that there’s something I need to consult with you.”
“I heard that Night Owl seems to have done a lot of bad things in District 7 in my name. I don’t know anything about it. Will the Federation arrest me?”
Hearing Fang Heng’s words, Chen Yu heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Even though he did not believe a single word Fang Heng said.
