Parsons was taken away for investigation?
Han Ling frowned upon hearing this.
"Could it be the Flo family's doing again?"
Han Ling narrowed his eyes, recalling Bern Hill Flo, who had been swaggering in front of him a few days earlier.
The system notified:
"Not necessarily, host. Currently, the company's competitors are not only Flo Publishing, but also 98 other gaming giants across the entire galaxy."
Currently, Lingtian Company is enjoying great success thanks to its game "Charge! Top Male Insect Lord".
Furthermore, the game has become incredibly popular due to the recent launch of a New Year event, which allows players to unlock a single-player storyline in advance.
Parsons' arrest may have been orchestrated by a group of capitalists.
If you can't control the chairman, can't you at least control the company's president?
Thinking of this, Han Ling didn't delay any longer. He opened his email and read through the entire message.
The first email from Lingtian Company came three days ago; it was a notification from the agency.
Han Ling was informed that Parsons had been taken away, and the company's operations would be temporarily managed by an agency under the Chamber of Commerce.
The second email was to notify Han Ling of a meeting. Currently, negative news about Lingtian Company has topped the trending search list on StarNet.
The third email was from the agency, which had learned about the 60 billion yuan year-end bonus and urged Han Ling to hold an end-of-year meeting as soon as possible to distribute the bonuses.
The next dozen or so emails all revolved around the year-end bonus.
It seems the agency is eager to get a piece of the pie.
Han Ling snorted coldly. If there was no foul play involved, then he should write his name backwards!
"Host, what should we do next?" the system asked.
Today, the system can switch networks and connect to star networks outside of Aphrodite.
However, they were unable to contact external authorities or the Interstellar Court.
Being unable to reach Parsons puts them at a significant disadvantage.
"What should we do?" Han Ling stood up, walked to the fence of the central castle, and looked down. "Of course, we should go find our old friends and catch up."
The system seemed puzzled: [Who are you looking for? On Aphrodite, who are the host's friends?]
“Bernhill Flo”.
————————
Aphrodisiac.
Outside an open-air palace.
The entire square was covered with smooth, lustrous white jade stones.
The water flows gently from the jewel-encrusted fountain.
The palace was covered with patterns of grass, trees, and sunflowers. Inside the main hall, a group of magnificently dressed male insects were holding a party.
The melodious music drifted past everyone's ears.
"Bourne Hill, how have you been lately?"
A brown-haired male insect, carrying a fragrant sparkling wine, walked up to the side of Mount Bern.
The male insect looked somewhat curious as it surveyed Mount Bern from top to bottom.
"You seem strange lately; your hair has become dull."
Bern Hill chewed his food listlessly, his pale golden hair drooping limply over his forehead.
His eyes held a complex mix of emotions, and he didn't know how to answer.
After returning from the central castle, he was so frightened that he remained bedridden.
He hadn't expected the new two black male insects to be so ruthless.
They actually bought off his limbs right in front of him.
Both overt and covert schemes have their deterrent effect, but the latter is often more powerful.
Bern Hill swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head:
"It's nothing, I just have some things on my mind."
He was afraid that his limbs would be taken away at any moment.
The male insect raised his sparkling wine and clinked glasses with him:
"Okay, I thought it was because the food wasn't to your liking. I spent 26 million credits to customize this meal, so I hope you enjoy this gathering."
Bern Hill nodded, picked up his glass, and took a sip of his drink.
"Parma, you're still so generous. Thank you for your hospitality."
Parma is one of the top wealthy male insects on Planet Aphrodite.
He is the male son of the Parma family and the only child of this generation, directly inheriting the Parma surname.
He would frequently host banquets, inviting members of other prominent families to dine together, enjoying the pride of being the center of attention.
Laughter and cheers emanated from the main hall, as all the male insects were immersed in the feast, enjoying the delicious food and melodious music.
Suddenly, a piercing siren blared.
"Ring ring ring!!!"
The continuous and persistent honking drew everyone's attention.
There, a male insect was seen driving a blue covered tricycle, which he had parked in front of the main hall.
Upon seeing the male insect's appearance, all the insectoids present held their breath.
Double Black!
That new Double Black!
What is he doing here?
Many Zerg looked at the host of the banquet, Parma, wondering what the reason was.
Han Ling raised his head, placed one foot on the pedal, and supported himself on the ground with the other.
“Bourne Mountain, come here.”
He called out to the familiar golden potato.
With its round head and pale golden skin, only Bernese Mountain potatoes can resemble potatoes so closely.
Upon seeing Han Ling and hearing the summons, Bern Mountain nervously stood up.
He took a hesitant step forward and, mustering his courage, asked:
"What's up?"
"Tsk." Han Ling gestured towards the dump truck at the back of the vehicle, "Don't ask anymore, get in."
Bern Mountain didn't know where Han Ling got this vehicle from, but that blue dump truck looked incredibly cheap and completely out of place with its surroundings.
As a male insect with top-notch food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, Bern Mountain strongly resists such an imperfect vehicle.
"Mount Bern!" Parma suddenly shouted during the banquet, "The banquet is still going on, are you really going to leave? Have you thrown away your aristocratic etiquette?"
Upon hearing this, Bern Hill glanced at Parma with a complicated expression.
Thank you for reminding me. He knows which is more important, limbs or aristocratic etiquette.
Bern Mountain walked out of the main hall and, under Han Ling's guidance, entered the tipper of the blue tricycle.
"Hold on tight."
After Han Ling finished speaking, he twisted the accelerator and sped off.
Bern Mountain crouched inside the tipper, embarrassed and afraid to look around, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
Ahead, Han Ling smiled at the system in his mind:
"This car is really good. It only costs 3 energy points, it's cheap and easy to drive. I didn't expect there to be such a good thing in the armory."
System: [Whatever you like.]
Han Ling drove Bern Mountain all the way to Bern Mountain's villa.
After speeding along the way, Bern Mountain was completely dazed by the wind, his hair flying wildly behind him. Seeing the familiar surroundings, he felt a little uneasy.
"Han Ling, what brings you to my house?"
"Get out of the car, open the door, and go inside to talk."
Under Han Ling's direction, the blue covered tricycle drove into the villa.
A moment later.
The two sat side by side on the sofa in the living room.
Han Ling raised his chin and gave the order:
“Now, call the female insects of your Flo family.”
Bern Hill was still somewhat bewildered:
"Huh? Which female insect?"
"Call whoever has the highest status, find someone who can manage things. What's the name of the female insect I asked you to deal with before?"
Han Ling's eyes were full of threat as he stretched out two fingers and pinched Bern Mountain's slender wrist.
Bern Hill felt his arm was in danger, so he quickly dialed old Flo's number while he could still move it.
"The current head of the Flo family is my uncle. I'll call him right now!"
