127: End of the Commission

Fang Yun felt a sense of relief upon hearing Old Captain's response, his tone becoming much lighter:

"Actually, it's nothing particularly troublesome."

"While carrying out a commission, I happened to rescue a group of women who had been kidnapped by the 'Four-Eyes Gang'."

"I want to send them back to their original families, or at least find a safe place to settle them."

"I was thinking, since you're a middleman with extensive connections, could you help contact someone to see if there's suitable manpower to handle this?"

"If they can't be sent back to their original families, I can pay for a safe place, and you can find it. How about that?"

Old Captain pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"...I heard that the 'Four-Eyes Gang' also abducted two high-quality custom *dolls."

"Do you intend to hand over those two *dolls for me to arrange as well, or..."

Fang Yun hadn't expected Old Captain's information to be so well-informed. Perhaps this was why he was a top middleman in the future Night City.

"I'll handle those two *dolls myself, no need to trouble you."

"Oh, right. If Carter Company, the Hair Brothers, or the people behind the 'Four-Eyes Gang' come looking for you, just push the matter onto me directly."

After hearing Fang Yun's words, Old Captain pondered for another moment.

"I'm not afraid of the people behind the 'Four-Eyes Gang', and Carter Company probably won't specifically trouble you or me over a *doll that was 'denied immediately after being sold'."

"However, the Hair Brothers and the female executive behind them might cause a little trouble, but it's not a big deal."

Old Captain's words implicitly revealed his intentions.

Fang Yun raised an eyebrow:

"You mean, you'll help with this?"

Old Captain answered straightforwardly:

"Yes."

"This isn't a major issue, and coupled with the fact that I'm quite optimistic about your strength and potential, just leave it to me."

"However, this is outside of the commission, so I think you should owe me a favor."

Old Captain revealed his true intentions at the end.

Fang Yun showed an 'as expected' expression and nodded:

"No problem, consider it a favor I owe you. I'll help you solve a problem for free in the future, whether it's a commission or something else."

"Old Captain is indeed a qualified middleman. He is neither willing to easily offend a powerful mercenary nor provide help to others for free."

"OK, it's settled then. Wait where you are, and I'll send someone over immediately."

Fang Yun could hear that Old Captain seemed relieved, his tone also somewhat happy.

"Why does Old Captain seem so happy?"

"Could it be that he has a very difficult commission on his hands? That's why he's helping me, a fledgling but powerful mercenary."

"...Whatever. As long as my matter is resolved."

Hanging up the communication, Fang Yun turned to look at Toke and shrugged:

"It's done. Old Captain's people will be here soon."

Toke said in a teasing tone:

"You certainly know how to find things to do for yourself."

Fang Yun smiled and didn't speak.

If it weren't for this being Fang Yun's first commission, he wouldn't have immediately decided to "meddle" and "see it through".

To put it bluntly, in the world of cyberpunk 2077, incidents like those involving the "Four-Eyes Gang" are countless.

If Fang Yun were to intervene in every single matter, he wouldn't be able to finish even if he worked 24 hours a day without stopping.

To ensure that such incidents never happen again in this world, it ultimately depends on when Fang Yun can change this world.

Of course, the next time he encounters a similar situation, Fang Yun will still "meddle".

Some things are better done than not done.

With free time on his hands, Fang Yun saw Valentine walking out of the Rake Factory entrance carrying magnesium strips and decided to help him move them.

"Toke, continue to be on alert in the car. The 'thunder's' vehicle-mounted alert system is quite useful. I'll go help Valentine move the goods."

Toke waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Fang Yun turned around and walked towards the Rake Factory entrance with Valentine, who had finished unloading.

From the moment they reached the ground until Fang Yun returned to the Rake Factory with Valentine, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou's eyes rarely left Fang Yun.

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou were not familiar with the others and wanted to approach Fang Yun, but seeing him chatting with Toke, they didn't go forward.

Fang Yun selectively ignored the gazes of Hua Meiying and the other woman, but Toke, sitting in the car, saw everything clearly.

Toke looked at Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, then glanced at Fang Yun's back.

"Tsk. This kid has quite the charm."

After speaking, Toke's mouth curved into a smile:

"I just wonder what the scene will be like when the two of them meet Vavinia."

Toke was still waiting to see Fang Yun's "sweating profusely" scene, unaware that Fang Yun had already come clean to Vavinia.

Again, Fang Yun is a responsible good man.

"Author: I am also a good man (confirmed)."

"Author: Good man is good man, but the arranged harem still has to be arranged. (Dog head)"

...

A few minutes later, Fang Yun and Valentine had moved all the magnesium strips into the trunk of the "thunder".

Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing, Old Captain sent Fang Yun a message:

"Fang Yun, my subordinates have arrived. Just hand those people over to them."

"Oh, right. Regarding those women, I've already contacted their families."

"Except for those two... dolls, the home addresses of everyone else have been found. My subordinates will send them home one by one."

Fang Yun, who was chatting, saw the message and his expression became serious:

"Thanks, Old Captain. I really troubled you this time."

"You're welcome. Although this matter is a bit troublesome, it's not difficult, and besides, I got a favor from you. That's all, talk to you later."

"Talk to you later."

After replying to Old Captain's message, Fang Yun looked at Valentine and Toke.

"Valentine, Toke, Old Captain's people are coming soon."

As they spoke, the three of them heard the sound of an engine approaching.

Fang Yun saw the approaching vehicles in the distance and jutted his chin towards the back of the "thunder".

Valentine and Toke followed Fang Yun's gaze and saw several Arasaka Hella parked not far from the "thunder". Then, several people got out of the cars.

Before those people could speak, Fang Yun walked over and spoke first:

"Are you sent by Old Captain?"

"Uh, yes."

"OK, Old Captain should have told you about the matter. These people are in your hands."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he turned sideways and pointed behind him.

"I'll go explain the situation to them, and then you can send them back."

"...Okay."

Fang Yun nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and walked back.

Coming in front of the group of women, Fang Yun said loudly:

"Everyone, gather around me and listen."

"I found Old Captain to help, and he has arranged for people to send you back."

The women were all overjoyed, their faces showing expressions of gratitude.

A slightly older young woman stepped forward and said in a low voice:

"Thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, we might never have had the chance to escape that place."

Seeing that others were also coming forward, Fang Yun quickly waved his hand.

"You're welcome. The most important thing you should do now is follow them home."

"From now on, be extra careful when walking on the street, so you don't get kidnapped again. Next time, there might not be another kind person to save you."

"Certainly, certainly." ×n

"Thank you, thank you." ×n

Fang Yun exchanged a few more polite words with them, then turned and walked towards Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou.

Hua Meiying and the other woman were standing aside, talking in low voices.

Seeing Fang Yun walk over, Hua Meiying raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of unease and sadness:

"Mr. Fang, will we... be sent away too?"

Fang Yun smiled:

"Of course not. Don't you have nowhere to go? Do you want to come with me."

"I mean, come back to the Buckle Family with me."

Upon hearing this, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou's eyes immediately lit up with a "whoosh", and their sad expressions instantly turned happy.

"Is, is that possible?"

"Of course. Clan Leader Karl has already agreed for you to join the Buckle Family as auxiliary members. Your tents will be placed next to mine."

"However, the days ahead might be a bit tough, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Bai Xuerou, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke at this moment, her tone full of seriousness:

"We're not afraid of hardship. As long as we have a place to settle, we're willing to do anything."

As Bai Xuerou spoke, she glanced at Fang Yun.

"Besides, with you here, anywhere is fine."

Fang Yun looked at the blush on Bai Xuerou's face in confusion and nodded hesitantly:

"Uh, that's good."

"The Buckle Family is a good place to go, but it also has its own rules. You have to learn to adapt, especially how to get along correctly with other clan members."

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou exchanged glances and said in unison:

"We understand."

Fang Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and patted their shoulders:

"Alright, don't be too nervous. We'll leave after Old Captain's people get them all into the cars."

Seeing that they would be going home soon, the women thanked Fang Yun and then eagerly ran towards Old Captain's subordinates.

In a short while, everyone except Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou had gotten into the cars.

Fang Yun waved his hand and watched them leave.

Then, Fang Yun turned around and said to Toke and Valentine:

"Toke, Valentine, we need to hurry."

"Hua Meiying, Bai Xuerou, get in the car."

Toke sat in the driver's seat, his tone calm:

"Ready to go anytime."

Valentine looked at Fang Yun, then at Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, then glared at Fang Yun, and then pulled open the passenger door and sat in without a word.

"If Sister hadn't told me that you'd already explained the situation to her, there's no way I would have let you sit in the back. Understand?"

Fang Yun scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

"Understood, understood."

"As long as you understand. Get in the car quickly."

After replying to the message, Fang Yun looked again and found that Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou had already gotten into the back seat of the "thunder", looking at him with wide eyes.

"..."

"Bang."

The sound of a car door closing rang out, and all five of them were inside the "thunder".

The operation of the "thunder" was not much different from the thunder, and Toke quickly got the hang of it.

"Buzz—"

The car started, and Fang Yun leaned back in his seat, letting out a long sigh.

"This commissioned, which has had many twists and turns, is finally coming to an end.
