- Chapter 533 - The identity of the mastermind
No matter who in the Shenglan family can take over, for Lin Yu…
At least now, it is not a good time for him to interfere in the affairs of the Shenglan family.
After all, he still has his own things to do.

After silently updating his evaluation of Sheng Lankui in his heart, Lin Yu also brought the topic back on track.
“Your ideas are very interesting, His Excellency Sheng Lankui, but we will have the opportunity to discuss your political views in detail in the future…”
Sheng Lankui heard Lin Yu’s words and reacted.
“Oh yes, you have a serious business with me…”
His expression became solemn: “How much do you know about the commission I accepted?”
“C-77? Almost all of them,” Lin Yu said calmly, “They are going to assassinate Art Mercury at Night Sky Huoxing’s birthday party in two days, right?”
Although Sheng Lankui had already expected that Lin Yu might know the contents of this commission, when Lin Yu actually revealed the contents, Sheng Lankui couldn’t help but change his expression slightly.
“Where did the news leak out… Are you here on behalf of Evernight Sky Huole?”
“No, no…could it be that the head of the Evernight Family ordered you to come here?”
Lin Yu did not directly answer Sheng Lankui’s question, but quietly watched his thoughts.
These kings and nobles have been infighting for a long time, and have long formed a habitual thinking: everyone’s actions that have a certain impact are often intentional with a strong purpose, and are an external manifestation of the will of a certain family or faction. change.
Only in this circle, there seems to be no “casualness”.
Based on this… Lin Yu lied to them that they only needed to start, and these nobles would complete the rest.
“Anyway, you choose to negotiate with me, which means… this matter can be discussed, right?”
Sheng Lankui asked, and Lin Yu nodded slightly.
“I need to know what role you played in this commission.”
Seemingly fearful of the possible existence of the Evernight Patriarch behind Lin Yu, Sheng Lankui immediately distanced himself from the relationship.
“I did participate in this commission. After all…if Art Mercury dies, it will be beneficial to the Shenglan family.”
“The alliance between the Shuiyin family and the Evernight family has been weakened, and the Qiu family and the Suiyin family have once again fallen into a balance of power. These are what our Shenglan family is happy to see… So after I learned about this, I chose to become this client. ‘Overseer’ and ‘Captain’.”
“However, I did not initiate this commission – I can guarantee this – if I am asked to withdraw from this commission, or even stop them, I can do it.”
“It’s just…since the other party issued this commission and selected me to be the ‘supervisor,’ they must have taken measures and backup plans to prevent me.”
“Even if I, as the ‘captain’, take the initiative to go undercover to stop the team I lead, the other party must have his back-up plan.”
Sheng Lankui said seriously, but Lin Yu did not immediately express his attitude or make a request to Sheng Lankui.
“I see……”
He nodded and looked at Sheng Lankui: “What else?”
Sheng Lankui sighed: “And…this commissioned assassination was chosen at Miss Huoxing’s coming-of-age ceremony…”
“You want to use your efforts to minimize the impact of this assassination, so as not to ruin the coming-of-age ceremony of Evernight Sky Fire Apricot?”
Lin Yu asked curiously.
Sheng Lankui looked at Lin Yu, showing a puzzled look at first, and then a happy arrogance suddenly appeared on his face: “Ha, Forpolo, although you are very smart and have the support of the Evernight Family Master… But you really don’t understand Miss Huoxing!”
“According to her character, if a murder occurred at her coming-of-age ceremony, Ms. Huoxing would never feel upset, unhappy, or have thoughts like ‘my birthday celebration was ruined’… but would I feel very, very excited and happy!”
Lin Yu listened to Sheng Lankui’s speech and felt that the other party was not joking.
Regarding the mental state of this “Nevernight Sky Fire Apricot”, Lin Yu couldn’t help but feel a little more in awe.
“So that’s how it is, so you chose to take on this task, is it also to add to the fun of Evernight Sky Fire Apricot?”
Sheng Lankui did not deny it: “A little bit…but in the final analysis, it is because this matter is in my interest.”
“Aren’t you afraid of offending the Mercury family if the matter is exposed?”
Sheng Lankui shook his head: “It’s true that exposing it before it happens will offend the Suiyin family, but what if I don’t know about my involvement until after I’m dead?”
“Besides, do you think there are very few people in the Suiyin family who want him dead… It is taboo to kill the king and nobles, but I am not prepared to do it myself – if the matter is exposed, I will only say that I want to inquire about information and secretly That’s why I got involved. I didn’t report it just because I was afraid of alerting others and preventing the mastermind from escaping… If we add some compensation and benefit transfer, the Mercury family will naturally be unable to pursue me anymore. “
“If you, a famous legendary ‘detective’, hadn’t come to ask these questions, and if it hadn’t been the head of the Evernight Family behind you, I wouldn’t have been so honest… But you came directly to the door, so I feel like you want to hide it. It’s hard for you to succeed before you show your cards – if the Suiyin family comes to ask, I will definitely kill you because there is no purpose of subjective harm. “
“Taking a step back, even if the other party really has some evidence…it will be enough to give away more benefits by then.”
Sheng Lankui said, Lin Yu nodded.
This world is really cruel…
Even if they are princes and nobles, their lives can be marked with a price as a “transaction” and appear on the negotiation table.
It’s just that the price is too high, and few people buy and sell such things.
And the words have come to this point, Lin Yu also feels that the time is almost ripe.
“So, do you know who is the mastermind behind the scenes now?”
Lin Yu asked, and Sheng Lankui laughed.
“Ha, this…”
“I really don’t know!”
Lin Yu was surprised.
“You don’t know yet, weren’t you directly designated as the captain by the other party? I thought you had already had direct contact with the other party!”
“It’s true that we had contact, but we only contacted through the communicator, and after I chose to accept the mission, the other party took the initiative to contact me through a middleman in an outer city,” Sheng Lankui recalled, helplessly speaking, “That guy is very strange, obviously a guy with a strong personality, but I don’t remember such a person among the royal nobles.”
“I can only guess that the other party is probably not from our Shenglan family – because he recognized my identity, but did not reveal me to the family, nor did he take the initiative to show me good intentions – if the other party is a member of the Shenglan family, this is impossible to happen.”
“Because the current Shenglan family only has my enemies and friends, and there are no neutral members!”
