Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 589: The Rescue Team Sets Out (Seeking Subscription)

"How is Old Jiang doing now?" As the group gathered to receive their assignments, Peng Lang was the first to speak. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Pei Yan shook his head and sighed, "Not well, he's been through a lot of torture! I infiltrated his ear with a Nanomechanical Insect to secretly inform him that we are aware of his capture and told him to delay as much as possible."

Saying this, Pei Yan lightly tapped his finger on a projector that formed immediately. Before playing, he hesitated for a moment and reminded, "Prepare yourselves mentally!"

After seeing everyone nod in agreement, Pei Yan pressed play on the projector. As the images appeared on the screen, the crowd was filled with angry curses and low sobs. Pei Yan turned to see it was Xue Buli, who, being new, couldn't help but cry upon seeing his friend's miserable state.

In the images on the screen, the once carefree and lively Jiang Feiyang had been tortured beyond recognition. His hands and feet were shackled to a prison chair, with his right hand's broken fingers twisted and hanging slack. Two fingers on his left hand were also broken. Bloodstains covered his chest, and his hair, wet with cold sweat, stuck to the sides of his face. If not for the slight rise and fall of his large belly with his breathing, Peng Lang would have doubted if he was still alive.

"What grudge do we have against him? To go this far just for their internal power struggle?" Enraged, Peng Lang clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

"We indeed have a deep-seated enmity with them!" Pei Yan, having learned of the interrogator's identity through information transmission, pointed at a figure on the screen and said, "He is Little Friedrich, whose father died at my hands! So, you see, they came specifically for us. When he escaped during the raid, it led to today's disaster. This time, we must root them out completely!"

"Assign the tasks then! Let's rescue our man first!" urged Hu Wenjun, nodding.

"Alright!" Pei Yan responded. With his fingers tapping rapidly, the scenes on the screen shifted continuously as he ordered, "For this rescue mission, Old Ye will lead the team. Old Sister, you're going too, along with Old Zheng, Xia Yu, Yuan Hu, Wenzhe, and Buli." As he got to this point, he glanced at Su Xiang, who seemed indifferent to it all, and said, "And you too."

Surprised at being named, Su Xiang looked at Pei Yan with astonished eyes and pointed at himself, confirming, "Me too?"

"What, you don't want to go?"

"No, just caught off guard! I'll follow orders; you just instruct me."

Seeing his assent, Pei Yan then turned to Zhao Yuanhu and continued, "Yuan Hu, use your abilities to deploy a field and lead the entire team to infiltrate the enemy camp stealthily. I will keep you updated on any changes inside the camp in real-time."

As he said this, Pei Yan looked up and gazed beyond the manor. The outside world had already become restless due to the changes happening here. Redirecting his gaze, he continued to instruct, "The situation here can't be concealed for long. The main camp outside the town will soon find out. Once you depart, we'll depart with you. Once you reach your target location, I'll pressure the special delegation. Seize the opportunity to attack and rescue when the enemy is caught off guard trying to respond. Old Sister, Xia Yu, Buli, Su Xiang, your abilities have control effects. Once the assault begins, to prevent the enemy from harming Old Jiang in desperation, you are responsible for immediately controlling the enemies inside the house."

Pei Yan then turned to Ye Ruozai and the others, "Old Ye, you three are the main attack force responsible for the rescue! Once successful, break away immediately and I'll dispatch the mechanical twins to assist you in escaping."

"Understood. Time is of the essence, we will set off at once!" With these words, the rescue team lined up automatically, checked their equipment, and carried out Ye Ruozai's orders.

"Be safe! Bring Old Jiang back alive!"

Under the hopeful gazes of their teammates, the figures of the rescue team vanished under the shrouding power of Zhao Yuanhu. Since the incident broke out, Elder Zuo, who had been watching coldly without saying a word, walked over to Pei Yan and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

"Let's head out too! Let's not keep them waiting!"

As the investigation team left the manor, the entire town was stirred up by the incident. Waves of soldiers, who had been on leave, received assembly orders and hurriedly donned their gear, rushing out from their residences. They formed iron streams traversing the streets, making their way outside the town.

Upon reaching the entrance of the town with the crowd, Pei Yan saw that Samikina had already led several commanders there, waiting. Watching this elder issuing orders for battle in a stern voice with a grim expression, Pei Yan waved to Elder Lin who stood next to him.

"How is Sifuer?" Pei Yan quietly asked Elder Lin, who leaned in and whispered a few words, causing Pei Yan's expression to change slightly, "Is it really that serious? It's not fake?"

Elder Lin nodded and replied, "Very serious! With disrupted auras and damaged meridians, even her internal organs have suffered varying degrees of damage. With the Demon Race's recuperative abilities, such a vital injury cannot recover in less than half a year. This level of injury is hard to fake. Any slightest mistake could endanger her own life, unless they had already planned to abandon this girl for this scheme. Otherwise..."

Elder Lin left his words unfinished, but Pei Yan understood his meaning. Sifuer could not possibly be an abandoned pawn. Even if Samikina agreed, Bailang wouldn't. Given Sifuer's injuries were real, had they really not been informed about this beforehand? Was he judging them too harshly?

"Mr. Shitang, we deeply sympathize and feel saddened for what happened to your subordinate. No matter what, this occurred on our territory. It was due to our lack of vigilance that the adversary found an opening. We are willing to take responsibility. Going forward, whether it's the rescue or revenge, all members of the Demon Race, including me, are at your command to fight."

Faced with Samikina, who staggered before him with a hint of sorrow hidden within his angry expression, Pei Yan felt his doubts diminish slightly. If this were an act, the old man's acting was indeed exceptional. Considering this, Pei Yan softened his earlier confrontational attitude towards Bailang and gently said, "I heard Miss Sifuer was seriously injured because of this incident."

Upon hearing this, Samikina waved his hand in anguish, "Ah! The child's resilience was too low. During practice, upon suddenly hearing this news, she hurt her meridians and organs due to chaotic auras caused by fear of misunderstandings." Raising his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes, the old man composed himself and said, "Let's not dwell on this for now. The priority is to rescue them, Mr. Shitang, at this moment, you and I are truly united against a common enemy!"

The sincerity in the opponent's statement temporarily dispelled Pei Yan's suspicions of him. He also knew that cooperation at this moment was the most beneficial choice for both sides. Thinking of this, Pei Yan assumed a righteous demeanor and stepped forward to shake Samikina's hand with heartfelt emotion, "In that case, I will lead my team from the investigation office for Miss Sifuer, to demand justice from those heartless villains!"
