Secrets and Schemes

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing the second team captain's words.

"As expected, the people from 'Order' were also there to stake out the location."

Although the things done under the identity of "Zhu Ming" are not as well-known among the general Player community as "May May", they have definitely attracted attention in the circle of high-end Player.

The fact that it "came back to life" is enough to attract attention.

What's more, she managed to deceive both "Order" and the "Psychology Society," and now she's been expelled from the forum and joined the "Psychology Society"!

Compared to these points, being closely associated with members of the "Freedom Alliance" is probably not a big deal.

Visiting Xia Yue's house under the alias "May May" yielded quite a few useful results.

Certainly...

Since it was done intentionally, Lin Yu had naturally made preparations long ago.

Moreover, the fact that the second team leader asked this question in this setting indicates that it was indeed not a serious matter.

Therefore, Lin Yu remained completely calm, only sighing slightly before speaking.

When I met her, neither of us had joined any organization yet.

"The bond forged in the Instance of dungeons... I couldn't be that selfless and noble."

Lin Yu was speaking when the second team leader remained silent.

The Tycoon squatting on the ground let out a cold laugh.

"Hey kid... I'm not supposed to comment on your 'Order' matters as an outsider, but I'm the kind of person who can't help myself."

"The Captain Good Night lying on the bed is the one who was beaten up by those bastards from the 'Psychology Society' last night! He has twelve broken bones and multiple soft tissue contusions. That bastard even kicked him in the groin twice, almost causing necrosis!"

"If you can't be selfless and great, but want to join the 'Order,' you should at least be able to distinguish right from wrong, right?"

Lin Yu understood.

Calling the Tycoon was meant to make him the bad guy.

I have to say...

The Tycoon's acting skills remain as mediocre as ever.

The Boss of "Jiang'an Hall," a Tier 4 expert, and a powerful Player ranked twenty-seventh, spoke seriously, but he did not give Lin Yu any sense of pressure.

Lin Yu looked at the Tycoon and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"But that wasn't Zhu Ming's doing. If I encounter her again, I will definitely not hold back. If she has done anything heinous, I will kill her with my own hands. I will also sever all ties and personal relations with her now."

"However, I don't see anything wrong with my relationship with her before that. If I had to name a friend, we have one in your organization," Lin Yu said, then looked at the three captains of Order. "Furthermore, my visit to her family... has nothing to do with her."

"She has already faked her death and severed ties with her family. No matter what you think, I can't just leave that mother and daughter alone."

As Lin Yu spoke, the ward fell silent.

Based on everyone's reactions...

Lin Yu also made a judgment.

"It seems that at least 'Order's' surveillance isn't that precise."

She got the phone from Xia Yang herself, and even took it out again downstairs.

However, those who adhere to "Order" have not noticed this.

Since nothing has been found...

That explanation is sufficient.

After all, he had made contributions in the Jiang City incident, had Gao Shan's recommendation, and might even have Li Hua's favor. Such a small suspicion was unlikely to really do anything to Lin Yu.

After all...

The Player base is only so big, and "Order" is also quite large. If you really investigate thoroughly, many members of "Order" Supreme members may have had one or two shady friends.

Just as Lin Yu had predicted...

Next, Good Night, who was lying in bed receiving an IV drip, managed to turn her head and speak.

"I believe this young comrade," he said earnestly. "Our 'Order' is a Discipline organization; we don't engage in those arbitrary convictions—so, since May has joined us, I choose to believe him!"

As a candidate for the next Captain General of Jiang City and also the most seriously injured person in the ward, even though Tycoon's status is slightly higher than Good Night's, Good Night's words at this moment have a certain finality to them.

Lin Yu nodded.

"Thank you for your trust, Captain Good Night. I will certainly live up to your expectations. My timing in joining is rather special, and I will keep a close eye on things while you are hospitalized."

He spoke seriously, Good Night Ye laboriously waved his hand, which was wrapped in bandages.

"Hey, Xi Ba, I was just about to say this, can you please not bring up the fact that I got injured? It's so embarrassing," Xi Ba Good Night sighed. "I'm so bad, guys, I'm so bad!"

The captains of the second and third teams looked at Good Night together.

"Please don't say that. If it were us, we'd be dead already."

"Yes, you've done your best to survive that crazy woman from the 'Psychology Society'!"

Good Night sighed, "Forget it, it's purely because she didn't want to kill me and because you guys arrived quickly... Luckily, we're in Jiang City."

Upon hearing Good Night's words, Lin Yu's mind stirred.

Why do you say it's thanks to Jiang City?

Really...

Good Night subconsciously revealed a somewhat guilty expression. Although he spoke immediately after only a moment, Lin Yu still caught the flaw.

"Hey, isn't it because there are Tycoon in Jiang City!"

"Rankings twenty-seven, rich, righteous, and powerful—everyone who sees this will say he's amazing!"

The Tycoon immediately chimed in, "Haha, brother, I'm almost embarrassed by what you're saying!"

Lin Yu watched the two of them sing in unison, but his expression calmed down.

"Wrong."

"Order" is an organization that values reason, but precisely because "Order" values reason, Lin Yu knows that he can use the organization's Righteous Path to exert appropriate "coercion".

"I don't know how the organization evaluates me, but I consider one of my strengths to be my keen insight... Captain Shan from Zhengcheng should know that."

"So... you two seem to be hiding something."

"I'm already a full member of the organization, so what is this city hiding from me?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Good Night and Tycoon exchanged bewildered glances.

Then, Good Night sighed and struggled to sit up in bed.

"The report from Xi Ba did mention that one of your strengths is your intelligence, but no one from Xi Ba ever told me you were this intelligent— Jiang City is indeed a special city, even more special than Sea City or Yanjing —for 'Player,' it's practically the most important city."

"Because this is where the 'Forum' is located... In other words, the 'Order,' which has a deep cooperative relationship with the 'Forum,' gives us a level of control in this city that no other city can match."

"Most members don't know this, but there are important figures in the organization who think highly of you, so it shouldn't be a problem if I tell them in advance."

"In the plans of the 'General' and the 'Secretary,' Jiang City will become the central city of the entire 'Player's' circle!"
