Staring at Pei Yan's eager gaze, Mei Simiao could understand the anxiety in his heart, but after much consideration, she sighed with difficulty and said, "Wait."
"Do we really have to keep waiting?" Pei Yan clenched his fists tightly on his knees and asked through gritted teeth. It had been ten days since he learned of his sister's incident. Although he appeared calm and composed in training in front of others, his heart was already filled with anger and anxiety, eager to take action to rescue his family.
However, his sister's instructions and her safety forced Pei Yan to be cautious about this matter, advancing step by step, fearing his recklessness might backfire and harm her. With these thoughts, he took a deep breath to calm his anxious heart and continued in a low voice, "It's been over a week. If we keep waiting, won't things change?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Simiao moved her body and leaned forward again, whispering, "Pei Yan, I understand your concern, but you have to realize that the people from the Divine Desire Organization are even more anxious than you. They desperately want to get you and move that Origin Maiden out."
At this point, Mei Simiao coughed twice from the pain of her wound. Pei Yan quickly stepped forward to gently pat her back, but she waved him off and thanked him, "It's okay, it's okay!"
"But I'm under strict surveillance, and they have no way to get to me!" Pei Yan, of course, understood Mei Simiao's words and mumbled to himself as he sat back in his chair.
"You're just worried, and in cases like this, whether you realize it or not, the investigative office keeping you under tight surveillance is the normal reaction. You should understand what I'm saying, right?" Mei Simiao explained, panting.
At this, he lifted his head to look at Mei Simiao, eyes resolute, "I don't know what kind of purpose she really has, but it definitely won't be as simple as just wanting to escape. There are too many uncontrollable factors, and I won't entrust the fate of myself and my sister to such a person."
"Exactly, and the country won't let such a powerful force fall into the hands of others, so our objective interests align." Mei Simiao looked at Pei Yan with a satisfied smile and continued, "Of course, we won't imprison her like a prisoner as the Divine Desire Organization would. Judging from the current situation, this Origin Entity, aside from having a human body, also has human emotions and thoughts, seeming not to be an unnegotiable target. If we can reach an agreement satisfying both sides, that would be ideal."
"What should we do now, just wait? Shouldn't we give the other party a flaw? They won't always fail to find an opportunity to get close to me!" Pei Yan wasn't too concerned about the fate of the Origin Maiden and brought the topic back to the main subject.
"Before they executed the capture plan for your sister, they should have calculated the current situation. Trust me, that man named Mu Fanchen wouldn't have overlooked this aspect; the reason he hasn't approached you must be that their timing isn't ripe yet." Mei Simiao paused, chuckled twice, and continued, "Moreover, your shout at the military training ground the other night made your conflict with Gu Shenghui known to all. Although you and your squad were secretly trained in isolation afterward, the scene from that night will certainly spread through various channels. As the saying goes, 'planting willows unintentionally leads to them growing into shade', this incident laid a good excuse for you to defect in the future." At this, Mei Simiao looked at Pei Yan, teasing, "You won't really want to leave the investigative office and join the Divine Desire Organization by then, will you?"
Hearing this, Pei Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and looked at Mei Simiao, speaking sincerely, "No, rest assured! Even if one day I'm utterly dissatisfied with the investigative office and leave, I won't join the Divine Desire Organization! To be honest, I still can't figure out what they really want to do? If it's simply for power or money, I could understand! But from what they've done so far, they want far more than that; do they really want to plunge the world into chaos?"
As he spoke, Pei Yan looked down at his hands, talking to himself, "When I gained this power, I once thought of becoming famous in this world with it, living indulgently, and at one time, I even childishly wanted to become a hero and obtain everything I desired. However, I've had thousands of thoughts, but I've never once thought of destroying the current life. When I saw the ruins of the investigative office headquarters and the shattered shops along the street, the innocent passersby who perished... I suddenly understood, they are just a group of madmen! And whenever I think of these madmen eyeing my family, possibly harming them..."
Saying this, Pei Yan raised his head, his eyes filled with killing intent and madness, his body trembling, his lips twitching slightly, "I just think about what I should do, what I should do! Later, I thought about it all night and finally understood that the solution is actually quite simple: just wipe out this group of madmen thoroughly!"
As he watched Pei Yan's faint smile appear at the corner of his mouth at the last words, Mei Simiao suddenly felt a chill down her spine. The man sitting before her was no longer the sunny young man who had just been recruited into the investigative office a year ago; she now felt a substantial threat from him. This man, as he continued to grow, would inevitably become an unparalleled sharp sword in the investigative office.
However, by that time, which hand this sword would still be in, or whether it remained in the hand of the investigative office, no one could say!
