This incident served as a wake-up call for Feng Yi.
Sometimes things don't go as planned, just as he hadn't anticipated someone would threaten him using Feng Jing.
He was even more surprised that the kidnappers intended to use public opinion as leverage!
However, the kidnappers' logic did indeed hold some possibilities.
If the situation really escalated to that point, he needed to consider how to tackle this type of blackmail through public opinion.
Feng Yi did care about his reputation, as the Cohesion Bureau considered social influence when dealing with certified experts.
As a "technical talent," while he held an absolute technical advantage, he still needed to consider this aspect if he wanted to quickly gain more internal permissions within the Cohesion Bureau—his reputation didn't need to be stellar, but it shouldn't be too bad either. For this reason, Feng Yi had always been willing to cooperate with the publicity department of the Cohesion Bureau.
