Chapter 218 Investigation
"Basically, I'm the kind of person who's very good at managing time."
"For example—I would divide the time required for each task into ten equal parts. The first nine parts, of course, would be used for enjoyable play. When the last part of time arrives with a smile, I would divide that time into ten equal parts again. The first nine parts, of course, would be used for anxious play, until the last part of time rushes in—"
“I would suddenly feel dizzy and lose all motivation to work.”
"So I don't understand anything about what you're talking about, what kind of defection behavior."
New York, Lexington Avenue.
Gold Coast.
Lu Jin was chatting with the inspector who had suddenly appeared.
Fifteen minutes ago, he was huddled in a corner, chatting with a group of stylishly dressed, sophisticated people about an upcoming movie—called "The History of Humanity's Blood and Tears"—a top-tier film specially devised by the publicity department in consultation with several directors. The title was incredibly idiotic, but they were certain that watching the entire film would elevate one to a level that would transcend the universe. In reality, it was about how that Director Li constructed this world to liberate them from suffering.
The show is currently finalizing its marketing strategy and will likely air within a week. They also discussed the movie's ending—the director might want to add a tragic element, such as the protagonist sacrificing himself for the greater good of humanity to bring about world peace, so the female lead has to live on sadly but strongly while carrying the savior's unborn child.
A short, blond man, upon hearing this, became indignant and vehemently refuted the planning team's misunderstanding of Li Lin—this isn't some kind of tragic world, can't they be more realistic and stop with this nonsense?
Aside from his height, he's quite handsome, wearing a very retro-style dark brown textured coat—these days, people who can freely discuss board members are generally not unattractive; some of them have undergone several modification experiments—mainly to improve their appearance.
Lu Jin realized that he still remembered him—he could find traces of him in those fragmented memories.
This person is on the list of newly promoted members of the board of directors. He was originally going to manage the entire business department of Heaven's Gospel. In this world, he and Yu Jianchu are still partners, but they haven't been assigned to work together yet. Many people are looking forward to these two extraordinary new humans meeting and have made various predictions about it.
Before the grand plan could even begin, Pandora and He Yu blew up several buildings.
At a recent press conference, a group of reporters, always eager for more gossip, insisted on bringing up the same topic for an interview. This person acted as if he was determined to fight evil to the end. If he hadn't been pulled away by armed personnel maintaining order, he would have definitely been shouting about how he wanted to execute Pandora and kill her entire family. The reporters were very happy because they got a lot of material for gossip news.
But now, seeing how engrossed he is in discussing those mindless movies, he's clearly forgotten about it.
Lu Jin felt that he should also be indignant, or as excited as possible, and join this ridiculous conversation without any burden, but... who the hell really wants to read that "History of Humanity's Blood and Tears"?
It was at this moment that the inspector walked into the crowd, flashed his signature and perfect smile at the group, and instantly everyone subconsciously looked over at them.
The leader said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but could I borrow him for a little while? Just for a short time."
They gave a fairly enthusiastic response.
"Of course, that's how the inspection team does things."
"Yes, we will definitely cooperate."
"You can take whoever you want; you don't need to borrow anyone."
The man grabbed Lu Jin's hand and pulled him out of the crowd.
The people around him were completely stunned by his behavior. Their expressions were distorted for a moment, but they quickly became relieved.
"ah--""
"Um……"
"hiss?"
"Take good care of yourself and I wish you happiness."
"Stop," the other person whispered. "What are you doing? You killed Xiao Luo, I'm the one who should be angry... I didn't offend you, did I?"
The inspector thought for a moment, then seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so he changed his approach and grabbed Lu Jin by the collar and dragged him away from the crowd.
The other person muttered weakly from behind, "I know I might be pretty damn handsome, and personally I have no problem with your behavior, but isn't it a bit too abrupt?"
"Should we take a shower, or go get something to eat first?"
The inspector ignored him and simply led him to an empty room on the first floor of the meeting hall. The room was well soundproofed, and he had brought many interrogation tools with him. What followed would be very interesting and smooth.
Lu Jin continued, showing no sign of the confusion or bewilderment the other person should have. He just kept saying, "Okay, it's fine if we don't eat. Do you have any cigarettes? Can I have one? Or alcohol is fine too, the cheapest kind is fine, I'm not picky."
He finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "You are under investigation by our inspection team for suspected involvement in a terrorist attack. You have the right to remain silent, or you can continue spouting this meaningless nonsense—"
"Don't worry, I'll write it all in the case file."
“Wow, a terrorist attack, that sounds fucking terrifying.” Lu Jin didn’t care about the threat in his words at all, and instead got more and more excited: “You mean those missile attacks, right? I saw the media reports, and they were indeed very scary, but I had just woken up in the hotel and was getting ready to go to work.”
"Then the head office suddenly announced a holiday, which surprised me too. You can check the surveillance footage."
"Sir, I'm a law-abiding citizen, I've been absolutely framed! Someone must be deliberately slandering me, jealous of my... well, my looks."
The inspector opened a door and saw several people playing a role-playing game. They were tangled up together, and both sides paused for a moment before he calmly slammed the door shut.
“To be honest, I’m a person of some importance in the Gospel of Heaven,” the other person continued. “I even have a dedicated image consultant for everyone. You’re leading me around like a dog in public like this. I’m afraid the board of directors will remember this. I’m doing this for your own good.”
The inspector remained silent.
"Dude, don't be so stubborn."
"Please, I'm not into your type at all. Although you're quite attractive, even if you lay on the bed and posed for hours, I still wouldn't be able to get an erection."
Lu Jin paused for a moment. In fact, he had been browsing the emails sent by Pandora and had also finished reading the code in his field of vision. He then destroyed and cleared all the messages and continued, "Hmm... I've changed my mind."
"Let's start this fun fencing now!"
The inspector finally found an empty room and dragged him inside.
