Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 793: Section 788 - Don’t Take Advantage of Honest People

On the TV screen, the local security news anchor told fibs with his eyes wide open. Chen Fei, using the remote control, activated the interactive subtitle feature and added a string of 666s as encouragement.

He was not the only one hitting the 666; a bunch of nosy viewers who enjoyed the spectacle did the same.

If the technicians monitoring public opinion knew that Chen Fei, the person involved, was nonchalantly tapping 666 like nothing was wrong, they would probably spit out blood in frustration, wondering how someone could be so shamelessly thick-skinned.

Early the next day, as soon as Chen Fei opened his eyes and looked over at the other bed next to him, it was still in its initial state.

His roommate, Assistant Lu Shang, hadn't come back all night, serving the people to the point of neglecting sleep.

Truly a dedicated public servant, he deserves a chicken leg!

Ding dong!

No sooner had Chen Fei gotten out of bed than he heard the doorbell ring.

Ordinary people knock, but the system people use the doorbell.

"Assistant Lu? Oh? Director Qian? What's the matter?"

Chen Fei opened the door and saw Assistant Lu Shang, his eyes bloodshot and face exhausted, and behind him, Qian Dajun, whose hair was as messy as a bird's nest, with his uniform wrinkled, lacking the composure and meticulousness of the day before.

Before Assistant Lu could speak, he heard Qian Dajun rubbing his hands continuously with an embarrassed look and said, "Uh… Little Chen, there's something I need to talk to you about."

Assistant Lu quickly stepped aside.

"What's the issue?"

Chen Fei, completely bewildered, looked at both of them.

Both Assistant Lu and Director Qian seemed a bit off. Was it something about him? Was he going to be sentenced?

But that's not what they said at the news conference!

"It's about two things!" Qian Dajun clenched his teeth and steadied his spirit, saying, "The first is that the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee has sent an official letter asking you to report to Hablav City."

"Oh!"

Chen Fei responded noncommittally

Miyoshi Monk had clued him in during a video call the previous night, so at this moment, he wasn't surprised at all.

Chen Fei's Grade B metal elemental psychic power wasn't particularly high in level but was very suitable for scale fighting, especially melee. Being experienced was better than being unfamiliar, and with Miyoshi Monk's recommendation, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee naturally prioritized adding him to their shortlist when picking candidates.

"And the second thing?"

Chen Fei could tell that their embarrassment stemmed from this second matter.

"Assistant Lu, you tell him!"

Qian Dajun stepped back, lacking the courage to face Chen Fei.

"Director Qian? Alright then!" Assistant Lu Shang, with a bitter smile, faced Chen Fei directly and awkwardly said, "I'm really sorry. Due to poor management, your space system alchemy storage artifact was switched out with another. But don't worry, the security bureau has already initiated an investigation, and we should have results soon."

In fact, when they confirmed that the bracelet locked away was not the space system alchemy storage artifact, everyone was baffled and hurriedly reviewed the complete surveillance footage. They checked not only those who had come into contact but also anyone within a ten-meter radius, yet they couldn't find any clues.

As the first point of contact for this alchemy storage artifact, Qian Dajun felt like a bolt from the blue as soon as he heard the news, and he was dumbfounded, taking a long time to recover.

Even if its capacity was small, it was a priceless space system alchemy storage artifact, not only valuable but also crucially, it contained a batch of materials sufficient to start a war. The thought that these materials were missing, more precisely uncontrolled, frightened anyone because this was no joking matter.

The theft was ten times more serious than setting off "Dragon Slayer Missiles" as fireworks in the city center because the "Dragon Slayer Missiles" inside the space system alchemy storage artifact could be set off at will above the city center.

"Space system alchemy storage artifact? Mine?"

Chen Fei scratched the back of his head, looking puzzled.

He did have a space system alchemy storage artifact, but it was on Xiao Jiu's claw, and it hadn't been lost!

Nobody could guess that one of the two leg rings on the little bird's claw was actually a space system alchemy storage artifact with a not-so-small actual capacity, proudly hanging on the bird's claw, inside which he stored plenty of fine wines and bird food, along with several thousand Star Yuan in change, and nothing else.

Xiao Jiu's things were Xiao Jiu's; Chen Fei had never thought of claiming them for himself.

"This one!"

Qian Dajun, with a bitter expression, took out a hefty bracelet. After confirming it was a fake, he didn't even use the specialized sealing box and just stuffed it into an ordinary transparent sealed bag in his pocket.

"Oh, yes! This is mine, thank you very much!"

Chen Fei took the sealed bag, unsealed it, and took out the bracelet, slipping it onto his left wrist seamlessly—it was very stylish and matched well with his fitness band.

Restored to its rightful owner, perfect!

Qian Dajun was taken aback and quickly said, "No, no, that's not yours; yours is lost, we are looking for it! Please rest assured, we will definitely find it."

Chen Fei stated confidently, "No, it's not lost, it's right here on my wrist."

Dear leader, you're definitely overthinking it!

"What?"

Both Director Qian and Assistant Lu couldn't fathom it; the item was clearly lost, how could it not be?

Seeing both of them still confused as monks feeling an elephant, Chen Fei said straightforwardly, "Don't understand?"

Qian Dajun and Lu Shang quickly shook their heads like rattle drums.

"This! It's just not a space system alchemy storage artifact!"

Chen Fei didn't want to deceive these two poor fellows anymore.

That jerk Chen Xiao'er scams everyone, even his own people!

"What, what?"

Qian Dajun was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.

"No! That's not it!"

Unable to help himself, Lu Shang took a step back and almost fell on his butt.

For this bracelet, he and Director Qian hadn't slept all night and had been interrogated for several hours, nearly breaking down.

Having lost something so important, someone definitely had to be sacrificed to take full responsibility — it was either him, the director, or both of them together.

It turned out that the ultimate truth was... it wasn't even true!

From the very beginning, it was a fake!

Chen Fei confirmed again, "What you took wasn't a Space System Alchemy Storage Device, just like this!"

He decided not to bully these two honest people anymore; otherwise, the world would end up with two more wronged souls.

"Then it... wait a minute!"

Qian Dajun stared intently at the bracelet in Chen Fei's hand and then pressed, "Where is your Space System Alchemy Storage Device?"

"I don't have a Space System Alchemy Storage Device on me, and I don't need one!"

Chen Fei spread his hands, shrugged innocently, clearly implying that they made up the whole story on their own, conjuring up so much drama.

The trouble is all yours, self-inflicted. Why blame me?

"But you clearly produced a 'Dragon Slayer Missile', right? And there were fighter jets and mobile armor; it can't just be Psi Skill, right?"

Assistant Lu Shang immediately caught the key point.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Of course it's special ability! It's Psi Skill!"

"You clearly have Metal Elemental Psychic Power..."

Both men once again failed to understand.

"Plus a Spatial Ability!"

"Ah!"×2

Lu Shang and Qian Dajun felt like they were on a roller coaster. With all those ups and downs, it nearly killed them.

"You haven't reported it yet!"

Assistant Lu felt incredibly wronged; it was a disaster out of nowhere!

He almost thought that he and Director Qian couldn't escape disaster, but then the situation took a turn for the better, unimaginably so.

MMP, who would have guessed that this guy, apart from having Metal Elemental Psychic Power, would have another Spatial Ability. It's a pit of death! No, a divine pit! It's deadly!

"I just got home!"

Chen Fei spread his hands again; he hadn't been home for more than 24 hours.

Even if he went to the local Psychic Management Center to re-declare his personal special ability information, it wouldn't make much difference right now, right?

Besides, not reporting this time, and doing it next time is also an option. It's not like you must report immediately, right now, or else it's illegal. Apart from initial registration and annual verification, it's all voluntary.

So, actually, you can't really fault Chen Fei at all. It's simply too coincidental that all these events converged.

"It's okay now, it's all right now, it's really too..."

Having faced tremendous pressure, Qian Dajun's tension eased and he collapsed backwards, eyes rolling back.

His stress was much greater than his subordinate Lu Shang's, having faced all the accusations and investigations. When the disciplinary team stepped in, they really treated no one as human.

"Hey, hey, hey, Director Qian, Director Qian, what's happening to you?"

Lu Shang, quick on his feet, hurriedly held Qian Dajun. He wanted to faint too, but it just wasn't allowed at the moment.

Chen Fei stepped forward, felt the carotid artery, checked the breath. The health bracelet on the other man showed no alarm and he said, "It's nothing, he just fainted temporarily. Should we carry him inside to lie down, or should we use acupressure?"

He glanced at the dorm door behind him.

"Let's carry him inside first!"

After a night of fear and agitation, waking the leader abruptly by acupressure would be too inhumane. Assistant Lu decisively made a choice.

Together with Chen Fei, they carried Qian Dajun into the dorm, laid him on the bed, and then Lu took out his phone to start reporting to others.

He had to clarify the situation quickly, or else this debacle would continue to be pinned on them.

After a long chatter, Assistant Lu handed his phone to Chen Fei, pleading, "Please, help us testify!"

Without Chen Fei's personal testimony, relying solely on him would be completely unsupported by evidence, no matter how much he talked.

"Okay!" Chen Fei took the phone, didn't care who was on the other end, and repeated everything he had said to Assistant Lu Shang and Director Qian. The person on the call confirmed repeatedly, and finally, they were through the ordeal.

"Finally, thank heavens."

Relief washed over Lu Shang, causing him to stagger, collapsing on the bed without minding his image, looking up at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, on the bed, Qian Dajun started snoring, zzzZZZ…
