Chapter 552 The stakes are high
After the car drove into the inner city, the topic of the Fairy Queen no longer continued.
As for Huo Le, she just thought that Lin Yu was joking - after all, Forboluo was also a naughty person.
Although Huo Le had felt that Forboluo had changed somewhat in the past two days, revealing a powerful and mysterious side that he had hidden and himself hadn't even noticed, but in the final analysis...
There are parts of Forboluo that are still Forboluo.
"Oh, by the way, since we're talking about the Nevernight Fire Apricot, I've prepared a gift for her."
As Lin Yu spoke, Buyetian Huo Le was a little surprised.
"What? But I've prepared something for you... I asked someone to buy a pair of bracelets made of cold jade from the Great Wilderness. They're valuable enough and befitting of your status as a suitor."
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, but I'll keep it a secret for now," Lin Yu said, then waved his hand, "You can keep the bracelet yourself. I have one that's more suitable for the Nevernight Fire Apricot."
As he spoke, Buyetian Huo Le hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so..."
"However, after disappearing for a while yesterday, you suddenly appeared in the White Jade Palace in the sky. Could it be that you were looking for this gift?"
As Buyetian Huo Le said this, Lin Yu shook his head.
"It's really not."
"Then what were you doing?" Buyetian Huo Le frowned. "After visiting the Public Security Bureau and the Shenglan family, you disappeared. Then, at the White Jade Palace in the Sky, you were caught and framed by the people of the Solens family... Although I trust you and am willing to give you freedom, you should at least give me an explanation."
Lin Yu nodded: "I went to the Public Security Bureau to investigate his purpose... I did dig up some things, so I went to find Sheng Lankui afterwards."
"As for the White Jade Palace in the Sky," Lin Yu smiled, "the Sorens family did not frame me."
"Something happened at Tiansheng Baiyuque, but the culprit wasn't the Sorens family," Huo Le of Buyetian said in surprise. "But what I found was clearly the Sorens family's handiwork... If it wasn't them, why did they go against me several times when I put pressure on the Public Security Bureau today?"
"Who on earth could have misled me into starting a war with the Sorens family?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "You've got it wrong. It's true that the Sorens family is behind this... but they're not framing or framing me."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, Buyetian Huo Le reacted for a moment, and then realized the incredible fact.
"Wait... you really did this?"
There is naturally nothing to hide from Huo Le of Buyetian.
"Of course, they are just three middlemen from the outer city. I will kill them if I want," Lin Yu said calmly, "because I did find out something."
"what?"
Huo Le from Buyetian asked curiously.
Lin Yu looked down at his right hand. That hand still belonged to him, and he could feel it and use it normally.
But looking at it, I feel as if it is on an equal footing with me.
"I've tracked down a commission targeting a noble, and it's related to the Buyetian family—someone was planning to assassinate a noble during the Buyetian Huoxing's coming-of-age ceremony."
Lin Yu said softly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Le immediately sat up straight: "What? Are you serious?"
"I wouldn't lie to you about something like this."
Lin Yu said calmly.
Huo Le looked at Lin Yu, and a rare trace of dissatisfaction towards Lin Yu appeared on his face: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"We just had a chance to be alone. You can't let me talk about this in the Gray Third Street Bar." Lin Yu said calmly.
Huo Le's expression softened slightly. "That's true... Anyway, this is very valuable information... If someone else takes this commission, even if they don't succeed, just causing a disturbance or causing casualties at Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony would be a huge blow to me."
Buyetian Huo Le gritted his teeth and said, "If this really succeeds... then I might really lose my position as the head of the family... and the Buyetian family might even suffer a huge blow as a result!"
"No matter which royal noble family it is, if they die during Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony... it will be a huge problem for the Buyetian family today."
Seeing Huo Le's anxious look at Buyetian, Lin Yu sighed in his heart.
What the head of Buye Tian family said was true. Huo Le was too kind-hearted.
The reason why she made such a judgment was because she subconsciously believed that the matter of "the death of a prince or noble" was difficult to resolve - just like just now on Gray Third Street, even if Lin Yu did not persuade him, it was likely that Buyetian Huo Le would not really kill that many people.
Although Nevernight Huo Le would also kill people, from the perspective of a leader or ruler of a large power...
Buyetian Huo Le can actually be regarded as an utterly benevolent ruler.
"Can you tell me who the target is, or even the approximate range?"
"It's not a direct descendant or a key figure in power. It should be someone who hasn't appeared in public for a long time," Lin Yu reminded. "As for the client, I've also checked, but I don't have any clues."
"By the way, I did see the Fairy Queen. Part of the reason I went to kill the middleman and go to Gray Third Street was to see if Gray Third Street had any clues about the client."
Buyetian Huo Le nodded with a heavy expression.
"I have to report this to Mother. You don't have to come this time. This matter is of great importance and concerns the future and fate of the entire Buyetian family. I must minimize your contact with it."
"If you go, Mother will definitely bear the responsibility. If this incident ultimately causes irreparable damage, Mother might even blame you... Although you have Mother's favor now, it would only take a moment for her to withdraw this favor and love."
Lin Yu was about to say something when Buyetian Huo Le gently pressed his index finger against his mouth.
"It is my duty, but not yours, Forboluo—you have done me a great service by telling me of it, and if it succeeds, I shall not forget to inform my mother of your service."
"But if you fail... you can't bear the responsibility."
Huo Le of Buyetian said this seriously, and then pressed the button to talk to the driver.
"Don't go home yet. Go and drop Lin Yu off at the Truth Building first. Let Paris receive him for a while, and then send me home."
"As ordered."
The driver's answer came from the loudspeaker, and then the car changed direction and drove away from the original route that led directly to Buyetian's house.
Lin Yu pushed away Buyetian Huo Le's fingers and sighed.
"You..."
"Don't disobey me on this matter, Forboluo. Maintaining your favor with Mother will be helpful to me. Even if I really lose Mother's trust because of this... at least if you still have Mother's favor, you can be a way out for me."
Lin Yu sighed again.
"I meant to say that you're overthinking it. I never planned to go back with you to talk to the head of the family about this."
"Do you think I, Forbolo, am actually a very brave man?"
