Chapter 445: The Gambling Contract
"I've heard some rumors about you when I'm in the Ministry."
After a long period of dead silence, Bai Miao slowly took off his sunglasses, and what appeared in front of Gu Yun and Shen Yue was sapphire-like pupils.
At the same time, the cold wind was coming, the temperature of the platform dropped by more than ten degrees in a real sense, and a layer of hoarfrost suddenly formed on the windows of the high-speed train that had not left the station.
Shen Yue shuddered, and couldn't help but tighten the down jacket on her body.
"Let me introduce myself again, I am Bai Miao, the head of the executive department of the Foundation headquarters. Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you. β
Saying that, Bai Miao stretched out his right hand to Gu Yun.
"Gu Yun."
Gu Yun also stretched out his right hand, even though Bai Miao was wearing leather gloves, he still felt the biting cold, this chill that penetrated deep into his blood made Gu Yun couldn't help but recall the time when he 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 so, I can't act as the head of the executive department as if I didn't hear anything - then, let's make a bet to see who can dig out that organization first?"
"What's the stake?"
"If we lose, then the headquarters can meet any of your requirements, Mr. Gu, as long as it is possible at the theoretical level, the Foundation can do everything possible to help you achieve it."
Isn't this a naked abuse of power for personal gain!
Shen Yue was dumbfounded when she heard this, for the sake of the battle of will between herself and Gu Yun, she actually involved the entire department, no, the entire foundation, although the executive department was equivalent to a department under one person to the foundation, but this was really ......
Wait!
Perhaps, this is not a simple battle of wills?
Although Senior Sister Bai Miao has always been known for her resoluteness and unkindness after taking over the position of instructor, she is not a high-spirited person, let alone casually making enemies with others for no reason.
Senior Sister Bai's attitude of talking to herself just now, is it all to lead to this bet?
Thinking of this, Shen Yue took the lead in speaking, "Senior sister, what if we lose?" β
"After all, we are all nominally employees of the Foundation, and even if you lose, I will not impose harsh conditions that will make it difficult for you to accomplish...... In this way, if you lose, Mr. Gu will go back to the headquarters with me after this matter is over, people like him should not be buried in such a remote small city. β
Sure enough, senior sister, she came prepared.
And it is very likely that this was instructed by the management, or even Chairman Shi himself.
In fact, Shen Yue had already heard that the headquarters wanted to transfer Gu Yun to City A, but because Gu Yun had a special status and was an external employee, the headquarters could not use the dispatch order against him.
"Yes, that's it."
Before Shen Yue could think of a rhetoric, Gu Yun directly made a bet with Bai Miao.
"Then, we are waiting for Mr. Gu's good news."
With that, Bai Miao put her sunglasses back on, and the plummeting temperature slowly returned to normal, she gently stroked the bangs on her forehead, and then gestured to the employees behind her, and the group disappeared from the platform.
β¦β¦
"Hey, Brother Gu Yun, why did you fall for it so easily!"
After the people from the executive department left, Shen Yue couldn't wait to speak.
If the two bet on who fights more powerfully, she feels that Gu Yunge's victory is no suspense, but the content of this bet is to investigate the existence of the black market, and the executive department has been investigating for this for a long time, "If Brother Gu Yun, you lose, you will have to move to City A, which is not only the political center, but also the location of the headquarters, and in that kind of place, you will definitely lose your freedom!" β
Shen Yue had palpitations, and it was obvious that City A had left an extremely bad impression on her.
"The content of the bet just now is that if I lose, I'll follow her back to the headquarters, right?"
"Yes, do you know that City A is ......?"
"I watched TV before and said that the traffic is convenient now, and I can go to City A during the day and take a plane back to City X at night, which is only a few hours."
Gu Yun touched his chin and said, "It's time to see the world." β
"That's not what Senior Sister Bai said at all, she asked you to go to City A to join the executive department and stay in City A to work!"
"When!?"
Gu Yun was taken aback.
"Wasn't it just now, didn't she still invite you to travel!"
Shen Yue was also taken aback.
"She didn't make it clear, it doesn't count."
Gu Yun shook his head and said, there has never been a reason to force others to work anywhere in this world, and the billboard of the subway station is not a long way to say "no" to the black-hearted boss.
If they had to keep him in City A at that time, then he would not hesitate to resign.
"What's more, I won't lose."
"Could it be that Brother Gu Yun, have you already found a clue?"
Hearing Gu Yun's confident tone, a glimmer of hope ignited in Shen Yue's heart - could it be that Brother Gu Yun's ability to solve the case was actually as amazing as his combat effectiveness?
"Nope."
It was still a confident and decisive answer, but this time the answer made Shen Yue hesitate.
This man had no clue where the confidence came from to win over the most elite department of the Foundation?
"Even if I can't get a clue by then, I still have one last resort."
"Last resort?"
"Hmm."
Gu Yun looked down at his right hand, "As long as the surface of this place is destroyed, no matter how deeply hidden the black market is, it will also be wiped out together, right?" β
Shen Yue: ......
"Heyββ! I think you were the one who killed 437 people! β
And then again, the first question that Brother Gu Yun asked her at that time seemed to be "Do you know if there is any way to kill 437 people in one go", right?
Super suspicious, and the more you look at it, the more suspicious it becomes!
"Haha, just kidding, after all, I've already promised that Grim Reaper, 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 also die together." β
"You're obviously one of the common sense people."
After complaining, Shen Yue suddenly felt a little inexplicably frightened, if she heard it correctly, Brother Gu Yun just said that he was joking, and he would laugh like an ordinary human.
Brother Gu Yun, he ......
Isn't it just that he will maintain a calm expression all year round, and no matter how strong the opponent is, he will only have one line of "you, you are dead"?
Could it be that she fell for someone's illusion without knowing it?
"Brother Gu Yun, come and pinch me...... Wait a minute, wait, I'll do it myself! β
Halfway through her words, Shen Yue suddenly thought that if Gu Yun pinched her seriously, she might die, so she could only pinch her thigh painfully.
Well, it hurts.
At least it shows that the scene just now is not a dream.
"That person just now reminds me of someone I knew before."
Although their appearances and the events they experienced were completely different, the demeanor of the two when they spoke was somewhat similar.
"Can you take the liberty of asking, what is the content of the bet?"
Shen Yue couldn't hide her strong curiosity.
"Bet on whether she'll take my head."
As he spoke, Gu Yun subconsciously looked overhead, and the towering city wall seemed to still be in front of him.
On top of the city wall, a woman wearing a knight's silver helmet stood alone.
"It's actually quite interesting to make a bet with someone once in a while."
