Expose, Negotiate

There is a world-famous line from Forrest Gump, an inspirational movie starring renowned Oscar-winning Film Emperor Tom Hanks, which is one of Lin Yu's personal favorites.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

At this moment, Lin Yu deeply understood the meaning of those words.

From the moment Li Nian led the three "Freedom Alliance" Player in, Lin Yu felt as if a piece of chocolate, possibly made by Shitte, had appeared.

After both sides had narrowly escaped danger and gone about their own business without incident, Lin Yu seemed to realize that the chocolate was indeed chocolate, and "shitty" was just its appearance.

But now...

The moment the name "Li Hua" uttered from "Gao Shan's " mouth.

Just like the delightful discovery Lin Yu made after biting into the chocolate...

Wow, it's a shit chocolate sandwich.

This isn't anyone's fault. Although Gao Shan mentioned Li Hua's name, and Da Niao chose this restaurant, who could have imagined that a table of "Freedom Alliance" Player would walk in?

It's just that everything happened so unfortunately.

Of course... Lin Yu still wanted to ask the Crow if there was Deity who controlled "Destiny".

If so, Lin Yu would like to send his greetings to its entire family.

"This would have been worse than if we'd just blown it out from the start..."

Lin Yu sighed, reached into his pocket, and began blindly pressing the buttons on his phone.

Sure enough, the four members of the "Freedom Alliance" all looked at Gao Shan and Lin Yu.

The burly man, referred to as "Old Zhou," spoke in a low voice, his eyes gleaming.

"Friend, you just mentioned 'Li Hua,' right?"

"I want to ask... is it the Li Hua I'm thinking of?"

Gao Shan also stopped in his tracks, about to say something.

Lin Yu suddenly spoke.

"You know Secretary Li Hua of the Jiangcheng Procuratorate? Really?"

He spoke with a surprised tone, his face revealing no sign of his surprise.

They seemed genuinely surprised that the four anime characters they encountered at the noodle shop would know such an important figure.

At the same time, she subtly and quickly tugged at Gao Shan's sleeve.

This unexpected response left the members of the Freedom Alliance looking at each other in bewilderment.

Because Lin Yu's words were so convincing, they subconsciously had the thought of "getting by as quickly as possible."

After all...

Although "Li Hua" is a name with special meaning among Player.

But it is indeed a very common name.

"Jiangcheng Procuratorate?"

Qianhuan quickly tried to smooth things over. "Oh dear, that's a mistake. We're looking for Li Hua, the vice president of a Real Estate Company in Jiang City!"

"He owes us a lot of money for the project."

Qianhuan said with a smile, and Li Nian quickly smoothed things over.

"Yes, that Manager Li is going too far... Don't worry, my family still has some influence in Jiang City, we'll definitely help you find this guy!"

These two are just as quick to make up lies as Lin Yu, it's just a pity their acting is a little stiff.

However, with Lin Yu's hint, Gao Shan, this old fox, naturally understood what Lin Yu meant.

As a frontline police officer, he increasingly understands that sometimes you can't force things!

If these people are indeed Player, they're probably quite high -Divine Rank. It's best to call for backup first.

So Gao Shan nodded, pretending to have been fooled.

"Oh, so it's not Secretary Li Hua... But Li Hua is indeed a very common name."

"If someone owes you money and they don't pay it back, you can try taking legal action. If you're facing financial difficulties, there's free legal aid available now."

Gao Shan casually remarked, patting Lin Yu on the shoulder.

"I hope your trip goes well. Go on, Old Five."

He didn't dare call Lin Yu May again.

But just as Lin Yu and Gao Shan were about to leave in this somewhat awkward atmosphere...

The girl in the Black Dress tilted her head.

"Wait a moment."

She took a Folding Umbrella out of her delicate little bag and pressed the button to open it.

The umbrella, as black as night, suddenly opened, blocking their path.

The girl in the Black Dress looked at the three people sitting at her table and said in her light, airy voice.

"Don't be so easily swayed... Although it's useless for most advanced Player, it won't hurt to try it out on a suspicious person and have that thought."

"You two don't need to act anymore... You're Player, aren't you? Player of the 'Death game'."

Gao Shan's expression changed slightly as Xiao Yun spoke.

They've been exposed!

The burly man also showed a look of surprise.

"Good lad, you almost fooled us!"

"So you guys are Player!"

He clenched his fist.

Gao Shan let out a breath and spoke succinctly.

"I'll hold them off, you call for Reinforcements."

He slowly bent over and pulled a baton from his waist, holding it in his hand.

Lin Yu saw that Qianhuan also looked ready for battle.

But at the critical moment...

The noodle shop owner's voice rang out.

"Gentlemen, your two small, one medium, and two large portions of noodles are ready!"

The owner, carrying a tray and with a friendly demeanor, appeared here.

Gao Shan immediately put the baton behind his back and stepped aside.

Li Nian also tapped on the table.

"Hey, Old Zhou, Huanzi, and Sister Xiao Yun, this noodle shop is one of my 'favorite' places."

So... let's eat our noodles properly first.

Then, Li Nian smiled and looked at the boss.

"The two large portions went to that tall guy, the medium portion was mine, and the small portions were for the other two."

The owner arranged the noodles according to Li Nian's instructions.

Old Zhou sighed, sat down, broke open his chopsticks, and started mixing the noodles.

Xiao Yun pursed her lips as well.

"Since you've put it that way A Nian... well, I'll give you face."

She snapped the umbrella shut.

Lin Yu was still standing there, stunned, when Gao Shan tugged at him.

"Get out of here!"

Upon hearing the name "A Nian," Gao Shan immediately realized what was happening...

The people sitting here are from the "Freedom Alliance"!

Although I don't know why they let me go, acting impulsively and being fickle has always been the hallmarks of this organization.

Seizing this opportunity, we naturally have to leave.

But...

At that very moment, Lin Yu pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with an air of nonchalance.

"Brother Shan, you should go first."

Then, he Leng Jing said, "Gentlemen, one of you can always leave... It's about right to deduct one from my list."

The four members of the "Freedom Alliance" were somewhat surprised by Lin Yu's actions.

Li Nian spoke with a smile as always.

"Oh my, you're quite a talent... Have you joined 'Order' yet?"

"How about considering joining our 'Freedom Alliance'?"

The man in the vest sighed, "What a pity!"

Gao Shan was puzzled by their reactions...

If he and Lin Yu had taken just one step outside, that would have been truly dangerous!

Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know the other two, he had some contact with Li Nian and Qianhuan.

The two of them were clearly putting on an act.

Li Nian's acting... still has flaws as always.

But that's not important.

So, what do you think of my qualifications?

Qianhuan stroked her chin and said, "Actually, I don't have any objections... but if you want to negotiate, what are your bargaining chips to bring you to the negotiating table?"

"Just crushing both of you shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Qianhuan pointed at the man in the vest and said.

Lin Yu remained calm, shaking the brooch on his collar.

"Our capital is... even though we may die, but..."

"You wouldn't want the 'Gambler' and 'Tycoon' to track your movements and appear in front of you at any moment, would you?"
