Chapter 445: Gambling
"I heard some rumors about you when I was at the headquarters."
After a long period of silence, Bai Miao slowly took off his sunglasses and presented them to Gu Yun and Shen Yue with sapphire-like pupils.
At the same time, a bitter cold wind came towards us, and the temperature of the platform dropped by more than ten degrees in the true sense. A layer of white frost suddenly formed on the windows of the high-speed rail that had not left the station.
Chen Yue shivered and couldn't help but tighten the down jacket on her body.
"I will introduce myself again. I am Mr. Bai Miao, the director of the executive department of the foundation headquarters. I am very happy to know you."
As he said that, Bai Miao stretched out his right hand to Gu Yun.
"Gu Yun."
Gu Yun also stretched out his right hand. Even with the leather gloves Bai Miao was wearing, he still felt the biting cold. This chill that penetrated deep into his bloodline made Gu Yun recall the situation he had participated in the trial in the extreme north. In fact, after passing the glacier trial, he had not felt the cold for a long time.
"Since Mr. Gu has said that, as the head of the executive department, I cannot pretend that I have not heard anything-so let's make a bet, and see who can excavate the organization first?"
“What is the bet?”
"If we lose, then our department can meet any of the requirements you put forward by Mr. Gu. As long as it can be realized at the theoretical level, the foundation can do everything possible to help you achieve it."
Isn’t this naked use of power for personal gain?
Chen Yue was dumbfounded when she heard this. For the sake of the battle between herself and Gu Yun, she actually involved the entire department, no, the entire foundation. Although the executive department is equivalent to the foundation, this is really...
Slow down!
Perhaps, this is not a simple battle of intent?
Although Senior Sister Bai Miao has always been a decisive person and is not well-known since taking over as an instructor, she is not a person who acts in a voluntary manner, and she will not make any mistakes with others for no reason.
Senior Sister Bai’s attitude of talking to her just now is to draw this bet?
Thinking of this, Chen Yue took the lead in speaking, "Senior sister, what if we lose?"
"After all, we are nominally employees of the foundation. Even if you lose, I will not offer harsh conditions that will make it difficult for you to accomplish... This way, if you lose, Mr. Gu will follow me to return to the headquarters after the matter is over. People like him should not be buried in such a remote small city."
Sure enough, the senior sister came prepared.
And this is very likely to be instructed by the management or even President Shi himself.
In fact, Chen Yue had heard that the headquarters wanted to transfer Gu Yun to City A, but because Gu Yun had a special identity and was an external employee, the headquarters could not use the dispatch order against him.
"Yes, that's all."
Before Chen Yue could think of a word, Gu Yun directly finalized the bet with Bai Miao.
"Then, I'm waiting for the good news from Mr. Gu."
After saying that, Bai Miao put on his sunglasses again, and the sudden drop of temperature slowly returned to normal. She gently stroked the bangs on her forehead, then gestured to the employees behind her, and the group disappeared from the platform in a mighty manner.
...
"Hey, Brother Gu Yun, why are you fooled so easily!"
After the people from the execution department left, Chen Yue couldn't wait to speak.
If the two bet on a bet that they are better at fighting, she felt that Brother Gu Yun’s victory was unsurprising, but the content of this bet was to investigate the existence of the black market, and the executive department had been investigating this for a long time. "If Brother Gu Yun, you lose, you will have to move to City A. It is not only the political center, but also the location of the headquarters. When you arrive in that kind of place, you will definitely lose your freedom!"
Chen Yue was still scared, and it was obvious that City A had left her with an extremely bad impression.
"What I bet just now is that if I lose, I will follow her to return to the headquarters?"
"Yes, do you know, City A is..."
"I used to watch TV and said that the transportation is very convenient now. If you go to City A during the day, you can take a plane back to City X at night, which only takes a few hours."
Gu Yun touched his chin and said, "Just treat it as going to see the world."
"Senior Sister Bai is not saying this at all. She asked you to go to City A to join the executive department and stay in City A to work!"
"When did it happen!?"
Gu Yun was shocked.
"Isn't it just now? Did she still invite you to travel?"
Chen Yue was also shocked.
"She didn't say it clearly, it didn't count."
Gu Yun shook his head and said, there is never a reason to force others to work anywhere in this world. The billboards at the subway station do not say long-term to the unscrupulous boss, and you must say "no" decisively.
If they must let him stay in City A then, he will resign without hesitation.
"What's more, I won't lose."
"Brother Gu Yun, have you found the clue?"
Hearing Gu Yun's confident tone, a glimmer of hope arose in Chen Yue's heart - could it be that Brother Gu Yun's ability to solve the case is actually as amazing as his combat power?
"No."
It was still a confident and decisive answer, but this time the answer made Chen Yue stagger.
This person has no idea where did he get the confidence that he can win the foundation's most elite department?
"Even if there is no clue at that time, I still have a last resort."
"The last solution?"
"Um."
Gu Yun looked down at his right hand, "As long as the surface here is destroyed, the dark market that is hidden deep will be destroyed together, right?"
Chen Yue:...
"Hey—! I think the person who killed 437 people is just you!"
And then again, the first question Brother Gu Yun asked her at that time seemed to be "Do you know there is any way to kill 437 people in one go"?
Super suspicious, and the more you look at it, the more suspicious it becomes!
"Haha, just kidding, after all, I have promised that God of Death, and this time I'm here to save people."
Gu Yun laughed, "People with a little common sense know that once the surface is destroyed, ordinary people will die together."
"You obviously belong to the group of people with common sense."
While complaining, Chen Yue suddenly felt a little inexplicably terrified. If she heard it correctly, Brother Gu Yun said just now that he was joking and would actually laugh like an ordinary human.
Brother Gu Yun...
Isn’t it just a calm expression that will last for many years? No matter how powerful the opponent is, there is only one line that says “You are dead”?
Could it be that she was caught in someone's illusion without knowing it?
"Brother Gu Yun, come and pinch me... wait a moment, wait, I'll do it myself!"
Halfway through his words, Chen Yue suddenly thought that if Gu Yun pinched her seriously, she might die, so she could only pinch her thighs with pain.
Well, it really hurts.
At least it means that the scene just now was not a dream.
"That person just now reminded me of someone I knew before."
Although their appearance is completely different from the events they have experienced, the expressions of the two when they speak are somewhat similar.
"Can you take the liberty to ask what the content of the bet is?"
Chen Yue couldn't hide her strong curiosity.
"Betting if she can take the head on my neck."
While speaking, Gu Yun subconsciously looked up at his head. The towering city wall seemed to be still in front of him.
Above the city wall, a woman wearing a knight's silver helmet stood alone.
"It's actually quite interesting to make a bet with people occasionally."
