How was this any different from acting freely?

Neither Lin Yu nor Old Zheng had any objection to the "Director" working with "Schreiber".

After all, Lin Yu is now eager to find an opportunity to move freely.

Originally, Lin Yu didn't have such an urgent need—after all, before coming to the City That Never Sleeps, he didn't know that this "Supreme Evolution" mission would involve so many things.

But...

As the "Director," Lin Yu couldn't appear too eager.

So when "Good Night" and "Dionysus" brainstormed and came up with the idea of "having the Director" monitor "Schreiber," Lin Yu almost burst out laughing.

Even now, "Xiao Nian" and "Ren Gu" have suggested that this might be a "Schreiber" conspiracy...

But for Lin Yu... it's not a big problem!

Therefore, Lin Yu, as the person involved, also joined the conversation at a leisurely pace.

"I think... Comrade 'Good Night' and Comrade ' Dionysus ''s' proposal this time seems to actually be fine."

"The Murder Case involving President Paris now appears to have connected to 'Supreme Evolution,' and it's definitely not a trivial matter—I'm not entirely comfortable entrusting this entirely to 'Schreiber' for investigation."

"What if the Truth is hidden in the end, and he chooses to 'conceal' it after the investigation?"

"Or... for some reason, he wants to Trial us again, so he deliberately made the Truth another mystery. What should we do?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Old Zheng cooperated fully.

He looked at Lin Yu in surprise. "Why would you think of me like that, Director? Since I chose to work with you, I certainly wouldn't do such a thing."

Lin Yu calmly replied, "Anyone can talk the talk... and even if you really think that way right now, no one can guarantee that your thoughts won't change after you learn the 'Truth' later."

"After all, nobody knows where this 'Truth' actually points—and you're someone who's particularly good at making decisions for others."

"What if, after you've done your 'assessment,' you decide that this 'Truth' isn't something we should know?"

Lin Yu said calmly.

Old Zheng picked up his cup and took a sip of Coffee. A piece of Ice Cube fell into his mouth, and Old Zheng chewed Ice Cube, making a crisp "crunch crunch" sound.

"To be honest... after you said that, I do feel... well, it seems like something I can do."

After speaking, Old Zheng leaned forward, supporting himself on the table with one hand, and looked past the "Order" group towards Lin Yu.

"But if you come with me, can you guarantee I won't play any tricks?"

"I've made up my mind to keep something from you. Can... you stop me?"

"Ren Gu" slammed his hand on the table, his gaze sharp as he spoke, "Schreiber, are you threatening the 'Director' right in front of us?"

As the sound of "Ren Gu" slamming his fist on the table faded, "Dionysus" spoke up, "If you really dare to touch the 'Director,' I'll twist your head off and use your skull as a wine glass."

Yin Lan paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm serious, I really will do it."

Old Zheng raised his hands. "Wow... that's terrifying, but please don't get too excited, okay? I could never really kill the 'Director'... our souls are connected in some special way, if I wanted to kill him, it would be no different from suicide."

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, so everyone doesn't need to worry... He can't do anything to me. I am indeed the best person to 'supervise' him."

Then, Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng: "So, knowing you couldn't do anything to me, how could you make the judgment that 'I might not be able to stop you'?"

Old Zheng shrugged. "I can just restrict your meetings with them... Hiding the 'Truth' doesn't necessarily require hurting you."

"I'm quite good at making people 'go in circles' or trapping them in a certain place."

Lin Yu laughed, "Really? What about adding 'Conception'?"

"We're now strategic Partner, and I just treated him to a meal. If I call for help, he'll definitely come to my aid—are you confident you can keep me trapped even against a 'Tier 4' expert ranked eleventh on the Rankings?"

Old Zheng made a very surprised expression.

"You've got the 'Conception' all sorted out... You really are surprising, 'Director'... That guy is probably the most difficult to deal with among the 'Tier 4' members."

"And that guy has a deep-seated prejudice against 'Order'."

"Convincing him to help you is no less than convincing SpongeBob to skip work..."

Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng: "So... do you still have any questions about the 'feasibility' of me monitoring you?"

"No, but the question is, why should I let you follow me?" Old Zheng stared at Lin Yu and asked, "What benefit would it bring me if you could 'supervise' me?"

"First of all, you have no choice," Lin Yu said, looking at Old Zheng. "The City That Never Sleeps is full of 'Camera' and 'Electronic Device'... The [Item] I got from the 'Hacker' are enough for me to pinpoint your location."

Lin Yu didn't need to go through all that trouble to pinpoint Old Zheng's location, but to make it easier for the "Order" members to understand, Lin Yu had no choice but to bring up Shen Bingmiao.

Lin Yu then paused for a moment before continuing.

"Secondly... taking action with you wouldn't be without benefit for you either."

"After all, besides 'supervising' you... I can also assist you."

As Lin Yu spoke, Old Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"You'll help me?"

"Of course, I know you hold a high position in Truth Company and have influence in the Nightless Sky Family, but don't forget... many of Sherlock's connections have been passed down to me," Lin Yu said. "If you want to continue your investigation along President Paris's trail, I can also provide you with assistance."

"In fact, the combination of our two networks can definitely produce a result greater than the sum of its parts."

As Lin Yu spoke, Old Zheng made a thoughtful expression, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Certainly...

Old Zheng hadn't actually weighed anything.

He simply asked in his Mental Power, "Boss, should I agree now?"

Lin Yu also sensed in his heart that the charade had almost come to an end.

Therefore, he gave Old Zheng his reply.

"Okay, judging from their reaction, our 'negotiations' have been convincing enough... So, you 'agree'."

"However, be careful to use a slightly convoluted tone, and then add some of Schreiber's personal characteristics. Ideally, you should express 'calm handling' while making a couple of lighthearted remarks, but not in the 'SpongeBob' style, that line was too cheesy... Your negotiations this time have been quite smooth, maintain this relaxed state, but absolutely do not slip into a 'clichéd' state."

As Lin Yu spoke, he was essentially explaining the play to Old Zheng.

Old Zheng muttered to himself again, "I understand, boss... SpongeBob's line is indeed cheesy... but I can be a cheesy person sometimes, and I can't help but get carried away."

However, with Lin Yu's guidance, Old Zheng also found his rhythm.

After thinking it over, he nodded.

"Sure, there's nothing wrong with bringing you along... After all, it's been a while since I've worked with you so meticulously in a [Instance] and 'assessed' you this thoroughly."

"While others probably haven't changed much over this time, your improvement and growth in 'strength' is the most exaggerated I've ever seen... I have a feeling you're going to bring me quite a few surprises this time."

As he spoke, Old Zheng stood up and looked at the other members of "Order".

"Alright, everyone..." the Director, "You'll all work with me for now—you can regroup yourselves."

As Old Zheng finished speaking, a worried look appeared on Good Night's face.

"Hey... Xi Ba, Lin Yu," he lowered his voice and tugged at Lin Yu 'Xi Ba sleeve, "Are you really alright... Don't be so stubborn."

"We're not at the point where you absolutely have to personally monitor this 'Psychology Society' terrorist in Xi Ba... Although Xi Ba City That Never Sleeps indeed 'Dark Current,' it's not a bad thing for us to act cautiously ourselves..."

Good Night spoke, Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Captain Good Night, I know what I'm doing."

"On the contrary... I might actually be safer with this 'Schreiber' guy—his status and position in the City That Never Sleeps are in no way inferior to Comrade 'Xiao Nian'."

"With the addition of this new helper, 'Conception,' if I encounter any more 'danger,' staying with you will only bring that 'danger' to you."

As Lin Yu spoke, he made it clear that he was determined to leave.

Good Night sighed, "Xi Ba... you really are... fine, I Xi Ba, can't change your mind."

"You should take care of yourself."

Since Good Night, who was closest to Lin Yu, had already been persuaded, it was even more difficult for the others to say anything.

Lin Yu also stood up from the table and then bowed slightly to the others.

"So for the time being... I'll be working with 'Schreiber' for now—don't worry, I'll come back to join you as soon as I've investigated the Truth of the 'case'."

"This shouldn't take too long."

As Lin Yu spoke, Ren Gu seemed somewhat surprised.

"It won't take long... Do you already have a clue?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes... After all, the Truth about this 'case' is definitely related to 'Supreme Evolution' and the Five Great Families."

"This isn't a particularly broad scope to begin with—plus, both Schreiber and I have direct access to President Paris, who will certainly try to save himself, so I think... our progress shouldn't be too slow."
