Coping and an Unexpected Encounter

"Hey, if you ask me, this Old Yao is really a talent!"

"So, Brother Li, haven't we at the Jiang'an Hall struck gold?"

In the back seat of the speeding luxury car, the Tycoon waved his tablet and said smugly.

Li Hua adjusted his glasses.

"Indeed excellent, Brother He, but I'm more interested in the person who solved the riddle..."

"Of course, now is not the time to consider that—once the mystery is solved, the most urgent task is to figure out exactly what 'Fluoxetine' wants to do."

Li Hua said earnestly.

The Tycoon waved his hand. "I can't fathom what that crazy woman is thinking, or rather... trying to guess what her motives are is pointless..."

"But the Psychology Society is not a 'Freedom Alliance,' and they won't do things without a reason, not even with Fluoxetine."

"These guys are hard to understand simply because their goals and Values are different from ordinary people, but every step they take is never done casually."

Li Hua spoke Leng Jing.

"Moreover... I can sense that she's definitely planning something."

"Throughout the previous Instance, every action she took, seemingly chaotic and reckless, concealed a very strong purpose!"

The Tycoon nodded and pondered after hearing Li Hua's words.

"Alright, Brother Li, I admit you have a point..."

"But it's undeniable that it's difficult to speculate on her motives."

Li Hua looked up with bright eyes. "That's precisely why I wanted to ask... for the opinion of the 'Jiangcheng Administrator'."

This type of luxury business sedan has sound insulation panels between the front and rear seats.

The soundproofing panels are now down, so the front driver and Li Huadaheng are practically in different spaces.

In the back seat of the car, only the Tycoon and Li Hua were sitting.

But Li Hua still spoke with unwavering conviction.

"So... esteemed 'Hacker,' what is your opinion?"

It was as if he was talking to thin air.

But then something terrifying happened...

The next second, a voice actually appeared out of nowhere and responded to Li Hua.

"The purpose of 'Fluoxetine'? Hmm... I really don't have any opinion on this!"

A cold, mechanical synthesized voice rang out, echoing inside the car.

Neither the Tycoon nor Li Hua seemed particularly surprised, and they quickly pinpointed the source of the sound.

The car audio system in the back seat of the Vehicles.

"You have no clue either?"

Li Hua said with some surprise.

Although both were Administrator, his attitude was noticeably more respectful.

However, this "respect" is less a matter of having to lower one's posture between "superiors and subordinates" and more like the etiquette of a junior towards an elder.

"It's not that we have absolutely no clue, but it's just some unfounded guesses."

"In my opinion... perhaps this invitation has two purposes."

"Firstly, it's about drawing out a specific person—someone outside of the six invitees in your Instance."

The mechanical voice continued.

"Specific people outside of us?"

Li Hua seemed to be deep in thought.

Then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he murmured incredulously, "So that's it, we need a 'puzzle'... because in order to find the solution, we'll inevitably have to share it with others."

"Furthermore, out of consideration for others, we also gather members from our own organization..."

"Among them are the people Fluoxetine wants to see!"

The mechanical voice emitted a stiff, somewhat unsettling synthesized laugh, "Hahaha, yes, just like the ABC Murders —the best place to hide a tree is a forest."

Upon hearing this, the Tycoon's expression changed slightly.

"Damn it, the location was chosen in Jiang City, all to lure out a specific person... such a huge undertaking."

"I feel like the 'Psychology Society' is targeting me!"

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

"Hmph, it seems that I, ranked twenty-seventh, closely cooperating with 'Order,' and being a 'Unique Profession' Tier 4 expert, have finally been targeted!"

The Tycoon's guess is reasonable.

However, Li Hua and the mysterious "Jiangcheng Administrator" clearly did not approve.

"It's definitely not you."

"It's a mechanical voice," the voice said.

Li Hua's reply was even more direct, "Brother He, you spend almost 24 hours a day at the ruins of your old restaurant. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to find you?"

"I'm more inclined to believe she's after some mysterious guy..."

Li Hua spoke with a hidden meaning in his words.

The Tycoon also understood the underlying meaning.

"A zebra? That's actually quite possible," he said, glancing closer at the car stereo. "Hacker, you should be careful!"

The Jiangcheng Administrator's voice rang out.

"It won't be me either."

"In short, it's very difficult to guess who this person will be."

Upon hearing this, Li Hua adjusted his glasses again.

"Then let's put this aside for now... Didn't you just say that the other side has two objectives?"

"Chaos, that's typical of the 'Psychology Society'," the mechanical voice replied coldly. "They want to use this opportunity to create chaos."

"Within this organization, whether they are radicals, conservatives, or centrists, there is a consensus—chaos can 'accelerate growth.'"

"Now that all forces are converging in Jiang City, centered around that overpass... I'm afraid the 'Psychology Society' is about to witness the kind of 'chaos' it most desires to see!"

"If not handled properly, there is a greater than 70% chance that its scale will exceed that of the 'Snow Mountain riot' a year ago!"

Li Hua and the Tycoon's expressions changed slightly.

Is this your speculation?

The Tycoon, abandoning his previous casual demeanor, sat up straight and spoke.

"That's my conclusion."

"So... you two."

"Come on."

The mechanical sound stopped abruptly.

The Tycoon and Li Hua looked grave.

After a long silence, the Tycoon finally spoke, cursing under his breath.

"Damn zebra, you might as well come at me!"

Meanwhile, in the south of the city.

In a location near the outskirts of the city, just before leaving the urban area, lies an inconspicuous noodle shop on the ground floor of a residential building.

Lin Yu's Corporate Slave, "Big Bird," recommended this noodle shop.

So the group of six is eating authentic Jiang City dry noodles here.

"It's actually quite delicious, although I still prefer braised noodles."

The burly Gao Shan slurped down his large bowl of noodles, praising it as he ate.

The group consisted of young, middle-aged men who had been starving since early morning. They stumbled upon a noodle shop with surprisingly good noodles, and naturally, they all ate their noodles in silence.

Only Lin Yu maintained a certain elegance because of her "May May" persona.

Of course, there's another reason...

Although the noodle shop was delicious, it wasn't exactly amazing to Lin Yu, a long-time resident of Jiang City.

Especially since his older sister owns a restaurant, Lin Yu has been eating this kind of food since he was a child.

However, just as Lin Yu was about to chime in with a few words, "This noodle is indeed quite good,"...

A voice behind him made Lin Yu jump up in fright.

"Let me tell you, my dad told me this restaurant is very authentic."

"Don't let its small size fool you, I usually don't serve this to just anyone!"

A somewhat youthful, innocent, and playful female voice drifted in from the shop entrance.

And this female voice...

Without a doubt, it belongs to Li Nian.
