Chapter 524: Parting Ways and Interrogating Zhu Rong

When leaving Wan Jin Tian Zuo, Lin Yu purchased two sets of custom-made formal wear, one set of expensive casual clothes, two pairs of leather shoes, a bracelet, two neckties, and a bow tie.

At the same time, he also acquired three very handsome hats—a woolen beanie, a bowler hat, and an ear-flap cap.

Although Sleepless Sky Huole had said she would use her own private allowance to buy the clothes, the staggering prices of those garments... it was hard to imagine that being mere "allowance money."

In the Outer City, the price of just the left shoe from the pair Lin Yu wore tonight could buy someone else's life.

"Regarding the gift you want to give to Huo Xing... I didn't see anything suitable tonight, I'll help you pick something out after I get back."

At the entrance of Wan Jin Tian Zuo, Sleepless Sky Huole looked at Lin Yu's well-dressed, respectable appearance with satisfaction and straightened his bow tie for him. "Anyway, you look very good... definitely capable of charming the sheltered young ladies of ordinary noble families in an instant."

Lin Yu nodded.

Indeed, judging solely by face and physique, that kid Fu Luo was absolutely top-model material.

If someone could poison Fu Luo mute, he could probably make a living off his looks.

Unfortunately, Fu Luo could talk.

So, Lin Yu also imitated Fu Luo's tone and said, "Then winning over Sleepless Sky Huo Xing shouldn't be a problem either!"

Sleepless Sky Huole curled her lip. "Well, sorry to disappoint, but Huo Xing really isn't an ordinary young lady."

Lin Yu wasn't discouraged, as he truly had no intention of pursuing Sleepless Sky Huo Xing anyway.

After finishing adjusting Lin Yu's collar, Sleepless Sky Huole spoke softly, "Where are you going next... do you want to come back to the Sleepless Night Family with me and stay the night?"

"No, I still have many things to handle, like that attacker from tonight—I need to figure out his intentions."

As Lin Yu spoke, Sleepless Sky Huole slightly furrowed her brow.

"He's already been detained by Sleepless City's Security Bureau, professionals will naturally interrogate him."

Hearing Sleepless Sky Huole say this, Lin Yu shook his head.

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Judging by the other party's confident, unafraid attitude, 'Zhu Rong' must have some reliance that made him certain he would remain safe even after being captured.

After all, Lin Yu remembered that among those who accepted the C-77 commission, there was a red-haired woman operating under the name 'Zhu Rong'.

Also considering that when he heard the name 'Zhu Rong' in reality, he was designated as the buyer by 'Radish'—and those from 'Order' and the 'Hunters' Association' seemed to recognize his skill level as well.

For a 'Second Tier' Player to have such a reputation, Lin Yu believed there must be something exceptional about him!

Fu Luo could make a big splash in Sleepless City; even if Zhu Rong didn't have Fu Luo's good fortune, he probably wasn't far behind.

Although Zhu Rong received the mission to assassinate Sheng Lan Kui's Steward, Lin Yu had a faint feeling that this mission and the one to assassinate Alt Mercury might not be completely unrelated.

The entire Sleepless City now resembled an intricate web, with deep connections existing among the several Peerage Nobility families.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sleepless Sky Huole also nodded.

"Since you insist, then go take a look—if you encounter any places requiring special privileges, you can contact me directly."

"How do I contact you?"

Lin Yu naturally asked.

"Didn't you save the Steward's contact number?"

Sleepless Sky Huole said with surprise.

Lin Yu certainly knew that Furbollo must have Sleepless Sky Huole's contact information; this wasn't a low-level mistake.

He just quietly looked at Sleepless Sky Huole, and then she figured it out herself.

"Alright, I understand..."

Sleepless Sky Huole said in a low voice, waving her hand to summon a servant.

"Bring a new communicator."

The servant nodded silently and left. A few minutes later, the servant returned like a hunter returning from the hunt, holding a square box in his hands.

Sleepless Sky Huole opened the box, took out a new communicator, and quickly input a string of numbers into it.

"Take it, this is my private number... absolutely secure and efficient."

Sleepless Sky Huole said as Lin Yu accepted the communicator.

"Thanks, esteemed Lord Sleepless Sky Huole."

He turned to leave, but Sleepless Sky Huole suddenly called out to stop him.

"Wait."

Lin Yu turned back. "What is it?"

"You don't necessarily have to contact me only for urgent matters. If you encounter any non-urgent situations, you can also talk to me directly..."

Sleepless Sky Huole paused, seeming to have more words left unspoken.

But in the end, she didn't finish, simply turning and walking towards the other side on her own.

Lin Yu smiled, then also turned and left the place.

Another driver of Sleepless Sky Huole led Lin Yu to another vehicle, and then the car slowly departed, heading towards the direction of the Sleepless City Security Bureau.

Soon, the car came to a stop, and Lin Yu stepped directly out of the vehicle.

At the entrance of the Security Bureau, several security officers happened to be smoking and chatting. Spotting Lin Yu's figure from afar, they all came forward to greet him.

Lin Yu was just about to reveal his identity as a distinguished guest of the Sleepless Night Family and point to the car behind him when he heard the man who appeared to be the leading Team Leader speak joyfully.

"Lord Furbollo, we failed to welcome you properly! You should have told us you were coming!"

"We heard you displayed great prowess again tonight, personally cracking an assassination case—we were just discussing how best to thank you."

Before Lin Yu could respond, the assistant beside him reminded.

"Boss, tonight should be considered an apprehension—it's said Lord Furbollo personally apprehended the assassin."

"Pfft, same difference. Anyway, Lord Furbollo once again used his brilliance and might to solve the problem," the Team Leader laughed heartily. "Ever since we've had Lord Furbollo, Sleepless City's thorny security cases have become fewer and fewer, and S-level wanted criminals are being caught more and more... I haven't even asked, what brings you here tonight?"

Hearing the Team Leader's words and seeing the seemingly genuine reverence the security officers behind him held for him, Lin Yu felt a wave of emotion.

Furbollo actually mingled this well with the personnel of Sleepless City's Security Bureau!

But thinking about it, it made sense. Although that kid was a bit cowardly, when there was a case, he really stepped up—in reality, he also got along very well with the people from 'Order'.

People of the lawful alignment should indeed all like Fu Luo!

But since Fu Luo's face was well-received here too, things would be much easier.

Lin Yu looked at everyone and gave a light cough.

"Ahem, keep it low-key, it was just a small effort..."

"The reason I came tonight is precisely for that fellow I caught earlier—where is he? I want to interrogate him personally."

"I always felt there was something fishy about his actions tonight."

However, as Lin Yu said this, the security officer Team Leader seemed somewhat conflicted.

"This... Lord Furbollo..."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "What, did he escape?"

"No, not that—never mind, I'll take you to him right away!"

"Just please understand, we have our difficulties too!"
