Chapter 61 I Have a Brother

===========================

In late July, just two months after Nie Zheng was promoted to chief of the Secret Service, the council airborne a deputy director of the Secret Service.

In the coup in May, the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs who did not deal with the chairman of the council, Li Chengxian, had a complete change of blood. Now the council is a place where Li Chengxian can control the sky with one hand, and the decision of the council is undoubtedly equal to Li Chengxian's will.

Just after promoting Nie Zheng, he turned his head and forced a deputy to go over. This operation is really incomprehensible.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the restaurant on the second floor of the Seventh District Secret Service headquarters.

"Wei Yan?" Gu Feifei was very surprised, "Is that Wei Yan?"

Nie Zheng: "Yes."

It is still the 21st session.

The three surviving contestants in the seventh district are: Nie Zheng, Fu Sanliu, and Wei Yan.

"Where did he go after that session?" Gu Feifei couldn't figure out why this name hadn't been seen among the senior officials of the seventh district government.

Being able to airborne the deputy director of the Special Service Department, Wei Yan must be deeply trusted by Li Chengxian, but after so many years, he has not held any official position. Is he invisible?

"He went to Broken Gold City." Director Nie picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. "I don't know the details. He was taken away after the game."

"Broken Golden City?" Gu Feifei leaned back in the chair, crossed his arms in meditation, and tapped the index finger of his right hand on his left arm.

Director Nie noticed Adjutant Gu's little move, and couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was his habitual move, and this guy learned it at some point.

It is estimated that the other party did not realize this at the moment.

Ding Ding!

Next to him, Ye Qi tapped a white porcelain milk cup with a spoon, indicating that he had completed the mandatory task this morning.

Gu Feifei finished the arm-folding movement, stretched out his hand and waved on the table, and there was an extra plate of butter biscuits out of thin air.

The child dropped the spoon, opened his hands left and right, and grabbed all the dozen or so biscuits in his hands in just a few strokes.

"Aren't you tired of eating so much?" Gu Feifei sighed.

The child returned a vigilant look, holding his baby tightly with both hands.

"Forget it, you can eat." Gu Feifei said.

A chuckle came from beside him, Gu Feifei tilted his head, and saw Director Nie looking very interested.

"You seem to enjoy being with children."

"No." Gu Feifan shook his head and denied it, thinking that if it wasn't for the sake of the child's relationship with you, I wouldn't care about it.

"You are very patient with him, and he likes you the most." Nie Zheng put down his coffee cup and said with reason: "There are many people in the whole building who are willing to give him food, but he only likes to ask for biscuits from you."

When Gu Feifei thought about it, he realized that this was really the case.

"Well, so I'm okay with him, but when I was a kid my brother treated me—"

Gu Feifei wanted to say that Gu Zhuoran was really patient with him, but stopped when he realized something was wrong. As a person born as a C-type resident of Qiongjing, he should not have an older brother.

Director Nie naturally heard the question, "Your brother?"

"Uh, that." Gu Feifei had no choice but to make amends, "When I was in the collective training center in Hill City, there was an older boy who treated me very well. I called him brother at that time."

"Oh?" Director Nie raised his voice at the end, his face remained unchanged, and he seemed to have no intention of asking: "How is your brother now, is he still in the hill mine?"

Gu Feifei's expression darkened, his eyes drooped, "He... died. When I was young, I had an accident."

Nie Zheng: "Sorry."

Gu Feifei shook his head, trying to force a smile, "It's okay, it's been so many years," he lowered his voice, as if convincing himself, but insincerely, "It's over long ago."

Gu Zhuoran's death was a topic that was deliberately avoided in the Gu family, and it was the same for Gu Feihua.

That cold winter night was a taboo buried in his heart that could never be touched.

The reason for that kidnapping began with the grievances of the previous generation, but it ended with the sacrifice of the best descendants of the fourth generation of the Gu family.

If Gu Zhuoran was fine, Gu Feifei thought, his life would definitely be different, not necessarily better, but definitely happier.

Through emotional feedback, Nie Zheng received Gu Feifei's sadness.

The feeling wasn't strong, but it was extremely deep, like a tiny thorn piercing deep into the heart, bringing a non-fatal but continuous pain.

Generally speaking, Nie Zheng's spiritual ability can only perceive other people's likes and dislikes towards him, but after meeting Gu Feihua, he found that the scope of this skill has expanded.

But that expansion was only for Gu Feifei alone.

Nie Zheng could feel all Gu Feifei's emotions.

Of the two cores, the silly one is very simple, which is happiness, joy and indescribable intimacy.

The normal one is a bit more complicated, poised, calm and confident most of the time, though occasionally awkward, ashamed and insecure.

But sad, it's the only time.

Ye Qi finished eating his biscuits and began to lick the crumbs in his palm.

It took Gu Feifei a while to react, and quickly picked up the napkin to wipe the child, and at the same time reprimanded: "Don't eat your hands! Be careful of stomachache!"

The child spread his hands obediently, allowing Gu Feifei to wipe his palms for himself.

After dealing with Ye Qi's matter, Gu Feifei found that the coffee cup in front of his big boss was empty.

Although the deputy personality once said that he would serve tea and water for Nie Zheng, he didn't seem to have done such a thing since he became the adjutant of the director.

Thus, Adjutant Gu, who finally realized his duty, picked up the coffee pot next to him, intending to ask Sir Si Zuo if he needed a refill.

"No need." Nie Zheng stopped Gu Feihua's service intention first, he stood up and said: "Go up, Wei Yan should be here soon."

Wei Yan, the new deputy director of the Secret Service Department, reported to the director Nie Zheng on time at nine o'clock in the morning.

Gu Feifei and the assistant directors of the secretariat stood in the front hall on the tenth floor to greet him. He saw Wei Yan's note:

Wei Yan, male, three-line (physique, nature, rule) transcendent, remodeling person (93% completion of remodeling).

What does it mean to reshape people?What does the degree of completion of remodeling represent?

When Wei Yan entered the director's office, Gu Feifei stared at the door for a long time without moving.

Remodeling, remodeling, is that why Wei Yan was transferred to Suijin City for more than ten years?

Things related to Broken Gold City must be related to another parallel world.

In the eyes of ordinary Dome Mirror residents, that place is very mysterious, and most of the C-type residents have never even heard of that name.

Nie Zheng has been to that place five times, each time during the convening of the regional federation.

He told Gu Feifei that Suijin City is a very prosperous and also very special city.

Due to plate movement, a towering mountain range called Wuthering Mountain rose up at the southern end of the Central Continent, and Broken Gold City was located in the narrow strip between Wuthering Mountain and the Deep Blue Coast.

That city, which does not occupy a large area, has become the trading center of the entire dome mirror by virtue of its unique deep-water port.

Every day, countless ships transport a steady stream of goods, and after transshipment transactions, they are transported to various regions.

"But there are many inconsistencies in it." Nie Zheng said: "The Secret Service has a representative office there, and I also asked people to collect some information, and found that many trade activities are inefficient or even meaningless."

The busy port, the constant flow of ships, and the ever-increasing trade volume seem to be hiding something.

Energy and ores, especially rare metals, Gu Feifei took a pen to draw on the paper, those are the focus of plundering in the source world, agricultural products and handmade products can only be used as a cover.

Just why do you have to go through the Broken Gold City?

Can't the regions transport it back to the source world by themselves, and then trade there?

Gu Feifei felt that the Broken Gold City might be an important channel connecting the two worlds, and only then could everything make sense.

After the interview with the chief and deputy directors, Nie Zheng sent Wei Yan out.

It was only then that Gu Feifei noticed the appearance of Deputy Director Wei, who had read the notes just now.

Wei Yan is in his thirties this year, tall and thin, with a fair complexion, two very conspicuous dark circles under his eyes, and his facial features can be regarded as correct, but slightly gloomy.

Seeing Gu Feifei outside the door, Nie Zheng introduced Wei Yan.

Gu Feifei stepped forward to salute, Wei Yan said: "Gu Feifei, I know you, this year's win is very exciting."

"Miao Zan, Director of the Wei, we are just lucky this time."

"Seeing you, I seem to see myself 12 years ago."

"It's an honor to be an officer."

After some impeccable politeness, Deputy Director Wei entered the elevator and left.

Gu Feifan followed Nie Zheng to the latter's office.

"How, what do you see?" Nie Zheng asked directly.

Gu Feifei could see the extraordinary abilities of some people, and could see that Ye Qi had a relationship with Nie Zheng. Although this ability was unclear, it could play a role to some extent.

"Wei Yan—"

Gu Feifei wondered whether the word "reshaping people" could be said, and he didn't want to be confused by the system as something else.

"He is different from before, has the director noticed?"

Nie Zheng shook his head, "I didn't know him well at first, but we fought together for a few days during the competition, and we haven't seen him for more than ten years, so I don't see anything unusual about him."

Gu Feifei took a deep breath, "If only I could take a look at Li Chengxian."

For such an important role as Li Chengxian, Gu Lulu will definitely write notes. Just see if Li Chengxian's notes also have the word "reshape people" like Wei Yan, then many of his guesses can be matched.

It's a pity that the chairman of the council in the seventh district regards the council as his home, so he won't leave that building in his spare time. Gu Feifan's level is not high enough, and he can't get an interview.

"You should have a chance to see him during the regional federation at the end of the year."

"Then there's... half a year left."

Gu Feifei said that it was a bit late at that time, and it was only a few days before his exit, so there was no time to do anything.

Although he has already determined the ultimate goal of this time through the book, he still hopes that he can do more for the world, or for Nie Zheng.

Just saving Nie Zheng, then waving his sleeves and leaving, seems not enough.
