Hand order

"You stumbled upon the conspiracy between the Duke Rainbowlight's second son and the Divine Power Group?"

Hearing Paris's words, Lin Yu was somewhat surprised, then frowned.

"So, after you overheard them talking, the other person attacked you directly?"

President Paris sighed.

"Yes... Logically speaking, they should know who I am."

"Besides, I didn't actually hear anything—in short, everything should have been negotiable, but for some reason, the Divine Power Group Supervisor and the second son of the Rainbow Light Family both went straight for the kill."

"I had no choice but to fight back desperately—in this situation, I certainly couldn't hold back, and I couldn't bring security into this backstage area, so I could only rely on my modifications and a quick victory."

Stiller said in a low voice, "President Paris... this is probably a setup targeting you, isn't it?"

"From the moment that employee who directed you here, everything felt incredibly strange... It all seemed to reek of conspiracy and scheming."

Paris sighed. "I realized at the time that everything was too strange, so I dared not hold back. After all, I didn't know what the person who plotted against me was thinking—what if it dragged on and some security personnel suddenly showed up and killed me on the spot?"

"So, I had no choice but to subdue them as quickly as possible," Paris paused, "Fortunately, my modifications were quite effective... I eventually subdued both the manager of the Divine Power Group and the second son of the Duke Rainbowlight."

"I nailed the Divine Power Group Supervisor to the wall, dismantled Alchemy Component in his body, and deprived him of his mobility; as for the second son of the Duke Rainbowlight, I crushed the humerus bones in both of his legs."

"Of course, I also lost most of my Alchemy Component and modifications, and my body was already showing signs of alchemical poisoning... So in a hurry, I could only inject the two of them with anesthesia and then escape, returning directly to Headquarters."

"Afterwards, while I was recovering, I reported the attack... and four hours later, I received news of their deaths."

"The cause of death was... an overdose of medication and excessive blood loss—because the smart device was no longer available during the injection, I likely administered too much anesthetic."

Paris paused here.

"In short, that's roughly what happened."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but speak up.

"Your story isn't 'just like that'... the whole experience is full of suspicious points."

There are just so many things worth analyzing!

As Lin Yu spoke, he glanced at Fu Luo —although Fu Luo was wearing a full-face mask, Lin Yu could still sense that Fu Luo was deep in thought.

President Paris's statement was so "typical" that it even triggered the "Detective's" instinctive reaction.

"Of course I know there's something fishy about this, but... this is a 'design' and a 'frame-up' aimed at me. The Truth is no longer important... after all, I really did kill someone."

"Moreover, I don't need to figure out the cause and effect of this matter, or know who is behind it all—that's enough for me."

Compared to Fu Luo, Paris clearly had little thirst for the Truth.

The President was well aware that this was not essentially a "case," but rather a "power Struggle between factions."

"That's true, but... since the other side made the first move, isn't there any way to exploit that?"

Lin Yu asked casually.

President Paris nodded. "That was my initial thought too, that we could use this to delay the progress—but the other side was better prepared than I imagined."

"The Security Bureau report doesn't show that I was forced to retaliate and killed two people... but rather that I struck first and killed them."

"This isn't just about tampering with the 'report' or someone being bribed; there's a complete chain of evidence—the signs of the struggle at the scene, including the surveillance footage, all meticulously demonstrate that I was the one who struck first, and the report shows no signs of forgery... Frankly, an incident of 'the President Truth Company murdering the Duke's second son' isn't something that can be accomplished by bribing one or two forensic personnel, so I tend to believe that they were prepared from the beginning with a forgery that was convincingly realistic."

"Even the CCTV footage of me being directed by staff in the hallway has been altered; my own voice can be heard in the recording, indicating that I was the one who proactively asked Rainbow Light Family's second son for his location."

President Paris spoke, Stiller murmured, "It's getting more and more bizarre..."

"But that's what happened to me," Paris sighed. "Honestly, even if I were asked to devise the same scheme to scheme against the President of another company, I can't imagine how I could achieve those results, so... I just had to accept my fate."

"From my experience, their setup seemed bizarre and crude, constructed from a series of forced designs, but from the outside, it appeared almost flawless... I had no choice but to accept my defeat."

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, that might be true for you, Paris... but for us, there's another possibility."

"So you're still lying—after all, rather than someone actually setting up such a complex situation in the City That Never Sleeps ... 'You're lying to me' might be a closer answer to the Truth."

President Paris looked at Lin Yu and said sincerely, "You still don't trust me? I can understand that... but everything I said is absolutely true."

I have no reason to lie to you.

Lin Yu nodded. "I do know that... It's precisely because I don't trust you that I conducted some 'lie detector' tests on you."

As Lin Yu spoke, he placed the [Three-Minute Lie Detector] on the table.

The top of the Lie Detector glowed with a calm green light.

"Just a little trick from Other Worlds," Lin Yu said casually. "Anyway, congratulations, President Paris... you passed the test."

President Paris looked at the Lie Detector and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's wonderful that you have such a method."

"Thanks to the fact that you told the truth without hiding anything," Lin Yu said, looking at President Paris. "Now... I should tell you my purpose for coming here."

"President Paris, you participated in the war against the 'Supreme Evolution' in your early years, right?"

Lin Yu said it casually.

Paris was somewhat confused by Lin Yu's words, but nodded nonetheless. "That's right... Moreover, within Truth Company, from my time as a manager, I was responsible for dismantling and researching 'Supreme Evolution's' alchemical products and related technologies. Later, when I took over the Security Department, I participated in numerous operations to eliminate the remaining forces of 'Supreme Evolution.' Even some of the first initiatives that received high praise from the Board Members after I became President were derived from research on 'Supreme Evolution'..."

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Lin Yu said, "The reason they sent me here this time is to re-inventory the legacy of 'Supreme Evolution' and find a 'key technology' within it."

President Paris was even more puzzled when he heard Lin Yu say this, "That's possible... but the Core Technology of 'Supreme Evolution' has already been almost completely dismantled. Although it's impossible to say that we've fully mastered it, the general framework is clear. So... is it really necessary for that person to send you to contact me at this particular time?"

"If there are any technical requirements, couldn't she just issue the instructions and follow the open procedures?"

Lin Yu listened to President Paris's words and shook his head, feigning profundity.

Using the banner of "the head of the Buyeten family" and with Buyeten Eirei's tacit approval, is indeed effective.

The only problem is... an old fox like Paris might doubt the "necessity" of his actions.

Just as Paris said earlier—as the Family Head, there's no need for Nightless Sky Yong Lian to hide what technology she wants from here.

Even if Paris really falls from power and a new President takes over, would the new President dare to disobey the Family Head's orders?

Although procedurally the "President of Truth Company" does indeed have the right to reject board resolutions, including orders from Eirei, the head of the Nightless City family and the de facto "Chairman," these can theoretically be temporarily rejected.

But...

If anyone dares to exercise this power, the person who issued the order in the morning and then in the afternoon will be buried in a plot of land in K District and J District of the Great Wilderness.

So... explaining why Nightless Sky Yong Lian did this is indeed something that needs to be carefully "fabricated".

Although Lin Yu could have easily brushed it off by saying, "The Family Head must have her own reasons for doing this..."

But fooling him once or twice is one thing, but if it happens too often, that old fox President Paris will definitely become suspicious.

Even though Nightless Sky Yong Lian approve of his actions, if he were to actually slip up due to a lack of skill, she would most likely not cover for him.

Therefore, Lin Yu initially did not intend to use vague statements to fool Paris.

Moreover, Lin Yu did have a relatively reasonable "reason".

"President Paris... The reason she did this is, of course, because she doesn't want anyone to know that she needs to access the technology of 'Supreme Evolution'."

"Because the technology she needs to retrieve is one of the most important technologies that she personally sealed away years ago."

"Therefore, I need your cooperation to secretly acquire this technology, and after we refine it, we will submit it to that sir."

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at President Paris.

"That's the 'prerequisite' that he'll personally protect you."

"In fact... just by getting involved in this, you've already secured half your position."

"After all, their 'trump card' is impeachment through 'Council' and External Security Bureau, right?"

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at President Paris.

"Although even Lord Huo Le couldn't stop all of this... to that lady, it's just a matter of a Hand Order, isn't it?"
