Good Night: Untie the Rope and Let Me Jump Again
"Remnants the Supreme Evolution" is a very useful identity in the City That Never Sleeps.
Within the Three Great Corporations, any project failure, financial damage, or attack on a base can be initially reported as "attack by Remnants the Supreme Evolution" on the report form.
If the connections are strong enough, even the reason of "attack by Remnants the Supreme Evolution" can be included in the final report for record-keeping.
In fact, it's not uncommon for the Security Department of the Three Great Corporations to impersonate "Remnants of the Supreme Evolution."
But...
This does not mean that the Remnants the Supreme Evolution do not exist.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the numerous attacks by the remnants of the Supreme Evolution Remnants this "reason" becomes so useful.
Therefore, sometimes proving that an attack was truly the work of "Supreme Evolution," especially in the case of the Universal Trade Association's recent announcement, is not so easy to ascertain.
And Kim Solence's judgment was naturally...
Let a similar attack happen to the Divine Power Group.
Two similar attacks occurred within a short period, and the attack from the Divine Power Group also showed highly suspicious signs of technology belonging to the "Remnants of Supreme Evolution"...
Therefore, the credibility of the Universal Trade Association's previous statement that the "Supreme Evolution Remnants" had also attacked them has greatly increased.
And...
Xiao Nian understood that this was a "test" by Kim Solence.
Kim Solence clearly did not fully believe Joe Solence's assessment that the attackers he provided came from "Supreme Evolution."
Or rather... even if he believed the attackers were truly the Remnants of the "Supreme Evolution," Kim Solence would still suspect... whether they had the support of others behind this attack.
After all, this attack was directly aimed at members of Royal Nobles families, and it took place inside the Universal Trade Tower!
Although those who have "Supreme Evolution" have frequently planned various attacks in the past, cases directly targeting members of Royal Nobles families are extremely rare.
In the past decade or so, there have only been two cases.
Moreover, both of these cases occurred in the Great Wilderness —there are no cases even within the City That City That Never Sleeps, let alone within the Inner City or the Three Great Corporations!
Not to mention...
Since Lin Yu arrived, he has noticed that the current situation in "The City That Never Sleeps" is unusual, and "Supreme Evolution" seems to have returned to the mainstream focus of the Three Great Corporations...
How could Kim Solence not have noticed?
Therefore, for Kim Solence, this was also a test of the "Divine Power Group".
Kim Solence was clearly also curious about... what exactly was the Divine Power Group's attitude towards "Supreme Evolution".
The reason Xiao Nian agreed to the proposal was because...
She actually shares the same view as Kim Solence on this point.
Besides the two reasons I just gave to Joe Solence, Xiao Nian actually had a third purpose in accepting Kim Solence's commission.
That is...
To confirm whether the Divine Power Group has any possibility of colluding with "Supreme Evolution".
Xiao Nian doesn't think the previous "whitewashing" argument was entirely Error.
Judging from the current signs, there does seem to be a mysterious behind-the-scenes force within the City That Never Sleeps, pushing "Supreme Evolution" in a direction where it can be "overturned," wanting to bring the people of "Supreme Evolution" back into the limelight.
It is indeed possible that one of these companies has already entered into a secret strategic partnership with "Supreme Evolution".
Based on Kim Solence's reaction, I can roughly rule out the possibility that the Solence Family was involved—although it's also possible that the old man Kim Solence was pulling a stunt, but Xiao Nian don't think that possibility is very high.
They should at least not be the primary suspect.
By using "Schreiber's" words, Xiao Nian could also reduce suspicions about the Nightless Sky Family and the Truth Company.
Furthermore, the "Director's" investigation will now involve the Truth Company. If the Nightless Sky Family really has problems, Comrade "Director" will definitely find out.
So, two of the Three Great Corporations have been eliminated... If we temporarily disregard the Saint Orchid Family, who have never liked to get involved in such matters, then within the City That City That Never Sleeps, only one company and two families remain who are qualified to push this matter forward.
Divine Power Group, the Mercury Family, and the Autumn Family.
Xiao Nian also wanted to know... what role Divine Power Group played in the increasingly active "Supreme Evolution" related events recently.
So...
This is why Xiao Nian agreed to Kim Solence's request.
After all, with such a luxurious lineup of personnel as "Ren Gu", "Loquat Candy", "Paper Kite", "Good Night", and "Dionysus", Xiao Nian thinks there should be a more "safe" approach if they plan carefully and invest more time.
After all...
"Attack" and "explosion" were actually unnecessary.
If they all worked together, they could definitely find a way to bypass the Divine Power Group, "secretly infiltrate," gather evidence, and then leave without anyone noticing.
But just like the three strongholds of the Divine Power Group that were ostentatiously destroyed by "Schreiber" early yesterday morning...
Xiao Nian also had a need to proactively expose his actions to the Divine Power Group.
After all, such a luxurious configuration would be a bit of a waste for Xiao Nian if it were to be used conservatively!
"I wonder how the Autumn Family and Mercury Family will respond after they learn of the situation?"
As Xiao Nian pondered, Good Night's voice came through his In-Ear Monitor.
"Thump--"
Accompanied by a dull thud, Captain Good Night's complaint rang out.
"Xi Ba, ouch... you've hit me!"
"Comrade Xiao Nian, aren't you afraid I'll just fall to my Xi Ba?"
Xiao Nian calmly replied after hearing Captain Good Night's words.
"This drop in height won't kill you, Comrade Good Night."
"This little height difference? Xi Ba Good Night's dissatisfied voice rang out again. " The Divine Power Tower is 580 meters tall, taller than the tallest building in our Xi Ba Country!"
Xiao Nian spoke again calmly, "The tallest building in our country is over 600 meters tall."
"I'm talking about my country of origin, damn Xi Ba Korea is 550 meters," Good Night said indignantly, "And I fell more than 500 meters... does it matter if it's 30 or 50 meters?"
Hearing Good Night's increasingly dissatisfied voice, Xiao Nian added, "First of all, you haven't reached the bottom all at once; you've only reached the first bend in the pipe, which is about halfway down, less than three hundred meters."
Good Night was even more dissatisfied. "Xi Ba meters is a lot, you idiot! It's easy for you to talk when you're not the Xi Ba who fell! Why don't you try jumping 300 meters yourself?"
Listening to Good Night's words, Xiao Nian slowly explained, "You weren't in a freefall of 300 meters. When I threw you over my Shoulder Throw, I also attached Descent Rope to your body. Your speed should have decreased quite a bit in the end, right?"
Good Night was even more dissatisfied. "Well, I also crashed into the Xi Ba Pipeline... Besides, you Xi Ba have the nerve to say that—is throwing me off something to be proud of, Xi Ba?"
"You even pretended to hug me and encourage me, Xi Ba... You destroyed my trust in genuine human kindness! Xi Ba! I will never believe in the goodwill of young girls again!"
Xiao Nian thought for a moment and then spoke sincerely.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Good Night, I really shouldn't have taken advantage of your trust and kindness... I sincerely Underground passage for this."
Good Night heard Xiao Nian apologize to him in such a gentle tone, he remained silent for a long time before speaking as well.
"Oh, it's nothing really, Xi Ba. I know you're just a little anxious... I just got thrown around by Xi Ba, so you're bound to be a bit upset."
Good Night has always been easy to talk to.
Xiao Nian chimed in, "Then how about I make it up to you? After you successfully complete this mission and come back up, I'll give you the hug I owe you, okay?"
Upon hearing Xiao Nian's words, Good Night's silence within the In-Ear Monitor lasted even longer.
After a long pause, Good Night Xi Ba up casually, "Oh, no need, no need. Your sincerity in apologizing is enough... really Xi Ba, no need."
"I'll be covered in sweat and dust after the mission, Xi Ba it wouldn't be good if I got your clothes dirty... If I had to say, I'd take a shower and spray some perfume during our break, but honestly, Xi Ba's really weird to just hug someone like that... Ugh, Xi Ba, just treat me to a meal then—but then Xi Ba, isn't it a bit strange for a girl to treat a guy to a meal? I guess I'll treat you. Shall we eat at the City That Never Sleeps or back home? If you're in North China, it's not too far for me. I can go Xi Ba and catch up with some old classmates, haha. I'm studying at Xi Ba Yanjing University, but I only got in because of the preferential policies..."
Good Night's tone sounded very relaxed, but his slightly fast speaking speed betrayed him.
As Good Night continued his long-winded speech, another voice interrupted him.
"Alright, Bangzi, stop handing out capes here, stop talking, and hurry up and get your things, okay?"
The voice of "Dionysus" Yin Lan rang in the In-Ear Monitor.
Good Night Yin Lan's voice, Liang Ye was startled. "Wait, Yin Lan, what are you doing in the Xi Ba channel?!"
Yin Lan retorted without any politeness, "Because we're in the same building, carrying out the same mission, just on different floors, are you stupid!"
Good Night was even more horrified. "Xi Ba, I thought Xiao Nian and I were on a separate channel..."
Yin Lan's ruthless voice came again. "It's a shared channel! You idiot!"
Then...
A sigh escaped from the Paper Kite: "Yes, we've always been here, Captain Good Night."
Good Night's voice trembled slightly. "Wow, Xi Ba, please don't do this!"
Ren Gu's voice came through. "Oh, Loquat Candy and I weren't really listening. We were just discussing how to optimize the camera angle with our microphones muted... so don't worry too much, Comrade Good Night."
Loquat Candy added, "Yes, I started listening from 'Ouch, I've been hit by a car!'"
Good Night was filled with despair.
"That's all, Xi Ba!"
