Chapter 491 Polygraph and Compensation Agreement
"Clap!"
Hearing Lin Yu's criticism, the orange in Paris's hand fell onto the coffee table.
The orange rolled twice on the table, leaving a line of intermittent water stains.
Paris's face was filled with astonishment.
"Oh my God... This is a serious accusation, Mr. Forbolo. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding?"
Paris' tone was very sincere, as if he really had no idea what Lin Yu was talking about.
Lin Yu looked at Paris, who hardly seemed to be performing.
But Lin Yu could still tell that the other party was lying.
"Sure enough, those in power are all born good actors."
Feeling that the other party's acting skills were a bit too professional for an amateur, Lin Yu continued to put pressure on him.
"Are you taking me for an idiot, Paris?"
"How many people in the entire City That Never Sleeps can the Furious Throne mobilize... Not to mention that the Delta Team from the Security Department that came here are your trusted subordinates!"
Lin Yu looked at Paris, held back the orange that was rolling towards him with his hand, and continued, "If you say this has nothing to do with you, do you think I will believe you?"
He threw the orange back.
Paris nimbly caught the orange and put it back in the fruit bowl on the table.
"Well, I did mobilize the Rage Throne to attack the Despair Train, and I also dispatched the Security Department's Delta Team..."
Paris continued to play dumb and spoke innocently, "But I didn't go there to kill you... In fact, I didn't even know you were on the train."
Lin Yu watched Paris retreat and advance, and continued to approach relentlessly: "Really? You really didn't know I was on the train?"
Paris shook his head. "While the train is generally controllable and provides nearly 7% of Night City's energy, it's indeed company property under the control and jurisdiction of Truth Corporation. As president, I naturally have a certain degree of control over it... However, its internal structure is actually out of control."
"Since you were inside the train, you should know that the train is essentially governed by the exiled prisoners. Their leader is a wanted criminal named Baron Coleman. Not only is he extremely vicious... but he's also completely hostile to me."
Paris said sincerely, "From my perspective at the time, the Despair Train had suddenly crashed, and a dangerous intruder had colluded with Baron Coleman to hijack the train. Their intentions were unclear. So, out of consideration for protecting the company's assets and maintaining public safety throughout Night City, I naturally ordered the threat to be eliminated as soon as possible."
Hearing Paris' words, Lin Yu looked at his compassionate, sincere and heartbroken expression and couldn't help laughing.
He pulled out a box from his pocket and stared at Paris. "Stop giving me official rhetoric. This isn't a press conference for Truth Company... It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Now, tell this lie detector again—'I didn't know Forboluo was on the Despair Train and I didn't intend to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Forboluo.'"
Lin Yu said calmly and turned on the [One-sentence Lie Detector].
He originally didn't know what Paris' attitude towards Forboluo was, but he could vaguely guess from Forboluo's attitude towards Paris that the two people should be of similar status and have a common backer, but they may not like each other very much.
So, Paris may really not know that Fu Luo is on the Despair Train - if that's the case, the situation would be simpler.
Lin Yu only needs to follow the normal process, the two of them will settle the matter privately, Paris will pay a small price for his unintentional mistake, and finally he can simply let Paris take him to Huo Le in the Nightless City.
But this scenario is unlikely.
Lin Yu still remembers what happened on the Despair Train... Even though Baron Coleman was in control of the Despair Train, Paris was definitely more clear about what happened inside the train.
Especially since he sent Stiller. Through their simple interactions during this period, although Stiller seemed to still remember the kindness of his old master and did not mention much about Paris, Lin Yu could deduce that...
Stiller definitely knew Fu Luo as well.
Therefore, it is very likely that Paris subjectively wanted to kill Fu Luo.
It doesn't necessarily mean there's some deep hatred... For example, a ruthless superior who climbed up step by step is just an eyesore, and if there's a chance, I'll definitely kill him without hesitation.
therefore……
Lin Yu naturally prepared according to this situation.
He looked at Paris, and Paris looked at the One-Sentence Lie Detector on the table.
Then...
Paris spoke firmly.
"I had no idea that Forboluo was on the Despair Train and had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to eliminate Forboluo."
He said this in a firm tone.
Lin Yu looked at Paris and was a little dazed for a moment.
Is this really a misunderstanding?
President Paris really doesn't want to kill Fu Luo?
The next moment, the [One-Sentence Lie Detector] emitted a red light and a sharp beep.
“Beep, beep—”
This reveals that Paris is lying.
Lin Yu and Paris were stunned at the same time.
Lin Yu said angrily: "You know it's a lie, but you still dare to say it?"
Paris looked at the box and scratched his nose.
“I don’t know if it will actually work!”
Lin Yu looked at Paris in astonishment, as if reassessing the CEO's intelligence level: "I already told you this is a lie detector... Are you betting that I'm lying to you?"
Paris spread her hands and said, "I underwent 'primary emotional control transformation surgery'. The lie detector that works through emotions, micro-expressions and physical changes doesn't work on me at all."
"How would I know this thing of yours is so advanced? Is it based on magic or something like that? Is it from another world?"
Lin Yu nodded.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and then laughed at the same time.
"Damn it, ah, damn it, Your Excellency Huo Le really has a keen eye, you are truly a rare talent... It seems that all the comments I heard about you before were a little untrue - no, I'm afraid you were deliberately showing weakness and trying to lead the way!"
"How could a guy like you be so cowardly, arrogant, and careless, with almost no direct combat ability?"
Lin Yu did not correct Paris, but just crossed his arms over his chest.
"So, you really want to kill me... Of course, this doesn't really matter."
"The point is, not only did you intend to kill me, but you didn't do it cleanly enough, allowing me to survive. And I even caught you behind the scenes... So, wouldn't it be reasonable for you to admit your mistake and give me some compensation?"
The two maids came back at this time and brought up two glasses of clear water in glasses.
Although it looks like transparent white water, you can smell the rich scent of orange as soon as it is served.
Paris picked up the water glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"You're right. I'm not as skilled as you and I have to admit defeat. I should compensate you!"
