Chapter 534 White Jade Palace
Chapter 534 White Jade Palace
After listening to Sheng Lankui's narration, Lin Yu roughly understood.
This guy's contact with the mastermind behind the scenes is probably similar to his - they have communicated but have never met him in person.
Through that brief conversation, Lin Yu could almost reach the same conclusion as Sheng Lankui: the other party was a royal noble with a very distinct personality.
However, Saint Lankui did provide new and useful information.
He didn't know or even imagine who this guy might be.
In other words... although this noble prince has a distinct personality, he has never had any intersection with Saint Lankui.
In the city that never sleeps, the "top circle" consisting of only five princes and nobles can't really be considered too big.
This made Lin Yu a little suspicious...
"Could he be a 'marginal person' like the 'Sir' behind Zhu Rong, or even a member of the same organization as the 'Sir'?"
But Lin Yu immediately overturned his guess.
Because "Your Excellency" obviously doesn't know who is behind the C-77 commission - in other words, this commission may have been issued by a marginal person among the "royal nobles", but he definitely does not stand firmly on the same side as "Your Excellency".
“It’s really intriguing.”
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
As his investigations collected more and more information, the entanglements and whirlpools at the top of the City That Never Sleeps were becoming clearer and clearer.
But the publisher of this C-77 commission remains a mystery!
The other party's identity and purpose are still unclear.
Although this information was enough to support Lin Yu in setting up a plan to ensure that he could complete the assassination commission and escape unscathed, this feeling of being used for nothing and kept in the dark...
Lin Yu still felt a little uneasy.
At this time, Sheng Lankui's voice interrupted Lin Yu's thoughts again.
"So...are you going to report this to Patriarch Buyetian?"
Sheng Lankui asked cautiously.
Lin Yu looked at Sheng Lankui's appearance, shook his head and said, "Why should I tell her?"
"Didn't the Buyetian Patriarch ask you to come? Are you still trying to hide this from her?!"
Sheng Lankui said in shock.
"I never said that," Lin Yu said with a smile, "you just thought so."
Sheng Lankui was very shocked: "Then why are you asking about this?"
"You owe me a favor, but I don't owe you one... You can guess why I'm asking this and for whom," Lin Yu said, walking towards the study door and opening it. "But I can help you eliminate a wrong option out of friendship - I'm not here for the Nevernight Fire Music."
As he spoke, Lin Yu pushed open the door of the study and walked out, leaving Sheng Lankui standing there in amazement.
Then...
Watching Lin Yu leave, Sheng Lankui fell into deep thought.
"It's not because of the Buyetian Patriarch, it's also because of Buyetian Huole, but why?"
"Forpolo is in the city that never sleeps, could he have other backers?!"
"And if it wasn't for the Buyetian family, why is he so concerned about the C-77 mission?"
"Could it be that he has some personal grudge against Art Mercury, or... is he coveting the power of the God of Life?!"
Sheng Lankui thought about it over and over again but still couldn't get the answer.
However, based on Lin Yu's intervention, he could vaguely realize something...
"This C-77 commission... seems to be even more complicated than I imagined."
"Did I accidentally fall into a trap set by someone else?"
While Sheng Lankui was thinking, he suddenly saw Lin Yu turning back.
"Oh, by the way, since I gave you an option to eliminate the error, can you also give me an additional piece of information?"
"I need to investigate someone's information. Although I could investigate back at Buyetian's house, but now that I'm here..."
"How about helping out?"
……
……
……
Lin Yu left the Shenglan family again.
Although the housekeeper of the Shenglan family asked Lin Yu to stay overnight, Lin Yu insisted on leaving.
It was already dark at this time. Even in this city called the City That Never Sleeps, although it was still brightly lit and neon lights were flashing, it seemed much quieter.
The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the street had obviously decreased, and most of them seemed to be returning home after the party.
Lin Yu did not ask the driver of Buye Tian’s family to pick him up. He chose to walk on the street by himself.
On the one hand, it was because Lin Yu planned to think and sort out his thoughts while walking - the information he got tonight was too much and too complicated, and the situation in the City That Never Sleeps was already complicated, so he needed to sort it out himself.
on the other hand……
Lin Yu also needs some time alone now.
In the inner city of the City That Never Sleeps, where surveillance cameras are everywhere, traveling in the vehicle of the Buyetian family is naturally extremely high-profile.
Furthermore, the identity of "Forbolo" was already eye-catching. Even though walking was already very secretive, Lin Yu had to spend some effort, even using the [Corner of the Shadowed] to find the best route without surveillance...
The destination of this route is a luxurious high-end hotel - located just one block away from Wanjin Tianzuo, invested and built by the Universal General Chamber of Commerce, and named "Tian Shang Bai Yu Que"!
When Lin Yu arrived here, he no longer hid his figure, but appeared again as Forboluo.
If someone had been tracking his movements during this period, they would have seen Forboluo suddenly disappear into the alley near Shenglan's house...
Then, about an hour later, he appeared directly in the lobby of the "White Jade Palace in the Sky".
"Open a VIP suite with a city view."
Lin Yu walked to the front desk with ease and opened the payment in the form of "Gold Point Coupons".
For a top-class hotel like this to receive a guest like Lin Yu who is generous and uses gold point coupons, there is naturally no need to register his identity information.
What's more, the hotel's information recognition system may not recognize Fu Luo's face, but it just deliberately doesn't ask.
Lin Yu got the room card and went to the top floor with ease.
After entering the room, Lin Yu immediately turned off the lights in the room, then turned on the water in the bathroom and filled the bathtub.
Standing in the bathroom, Lin Yu changed Fu Luo's face back to his own slightly adjusted May May appearance.
Afterwards, Lin Yu activated [Corner of the Shadowed] again and silently crossed the room to the balcony.
The moment the [Corner of Shadows] was released, Lin Yu also turned over and walked out from the balcony.
"Hannah."
Lin Yu spoke softly, and the little octopus lying on his shoulder responded immediately.
"Quack! Got it, Director!"
After such a long period of cooperation, Hannah and Lin Yu have formed a tacit understanding.
Optical camouflage instantly covered Lin Yu's entire body, ensuring that he would not be captured by high-altitude cameras and drones flying past from time to time.
This white jade palace in the sky is worthy of the name "Heaven". It is more than a hundred meters high. The landscape balcony on the top floor extends far away, like a bridge reaching the sky.
Lin Yu held his body in his mouth and swayed hundreds of meters in the air, feeling the night wind blowing through his body.
The sound of vehicles passing by came from afar. The distant sound and the gravity pulling on his whole body reminded Lin Yu that he was now hanging a hundred meters in the air.
Lin Yu exhaled slowly.
"Huh... I know my physical fitness and coordination are up to par, but actually sitting up is another matter."
He could feel his adrenaline pumping.
The next moment, Lin Yu let go of his hands and fell downwards!
