Under the White Moon Cinema Cafe, Good Night watched as members of Order and Jiang'an Hall busied themselves stuffing all the unconscious Marauders members and hired free players into the trunks of various vehicles, then stomped out his cigarette underfoot.

"Hehe, this is really great. It's only my first day in Jiangcheng and I've already scored such a fantastic achievement. Headquarters is going to love me."

He said with a smile, flicking the brim of his baseball cap, then turned to look at Lin Yu disguised as "Old Yao."

"Mr. Tycoon told me about you, said you're their organization's newest capable member. Seeing you in action today, you definitely have skills. I'll be counting on our cooperation going forward."

"I'm currently serving as the temporary captain of Jiangcheng Team One. You can call me sometimes."

As he spoke, he slipped a business card into Lin Yu's pocket.

After counting all the captured Marauders members and completing cleanup work at the cinema cafe and nearby shops, this new Order captain who had just arrived in Jiangcheng departed.

Lin Yu put away the business card, thinking the guy seemed pretty decent.

With the Order organization backing him, even though he littered cigarette butts, he probably didn't have any fundamental issues.

As for getting to know him better...

Judging from the silent Fu Luo nearby, this seemed to be someone he knew again.

It just wasn't convenient to discuss details with "Old Yao."

So Lin Yu also exchanged a few polite words with Fu Luo.

"Alright, looks like you're safe now."

Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu. Even though Lin Yu currently appeared dark, skinny, and suspicious-looking, Fu Luo showed no contempt. "So, who might you be?"

"Old Yao from Jiang'an Hall, also a friend of your friend," Lin Yu waved his hand, "He's temporarily tied up with something and asked me to help you out."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Fu Luo became even more respectful.

He said sincerely, "Thank you so much. If not for you, I don't know what kind of inhuman torture I would have suffered from them."

After speaking, Fu Luo magically produced an opaque plastic bag from the backpack behind him.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

"What's this?"

Fu Luo said seriously, "These are fried dough twists my mom made herself, and meatballs she prepared. She insisted I bring them when she heard I was meeting a friend... There were two bags total. I'm giving you one, the other was prepared for my friend May."

"Of course, this absolutely isn't enough to repay today's favor... If you ever encounter any puzzling difficulties in the future, just come find me, Furbollo!"

Fu Luo said, patting his chest.

Lin Yu found it somewhat amusing.

But this kind of simple, homemade gift from someone's parent was hard to refuse.

"Alright then, I'll have a taste," Lin Yu accepted the bag and said, "By the way, May asked me to pass along a message... He wants you to wait for him at the Hua Yu Cafe on the east side of Changming Street."

Fu Luo paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, but there's one more thing I need to trouble you with..."

He rubbed his hands together, and Lin Yu asked curiously.

"What is it?"

Fu Luo said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just... you see, since these Marauders members have been captured, then the things I confessed earlier probably don't matter anymore... Could you please not mention this matter to him!"

"I was really forced by the circumstances at the time. The Marauders people were too brutal, I had no choice—and I was very conscious about protecting Brother May's privacy too."

Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo's embarrassed hand-rubbing appearance and sighed.

Was it possible that "May" already knew about this...

But he still nodded in his Old Yao identity.

"Small matter, I won't specifically bring it up with him... But how did you protect his privacy?"

Lin Yu asked, and Fu Luo chuckled.

"I mixed truth and lies, only sold information that wasn't very important—though I don't know why those Marauders were so interested in Brother May's connections, I told them he not only has excellent standing with Order, but moves easily through various organizations... He's even on close terms with the Free Alliance and has connections with the Psychological Society!"

"And the reason Brother May is so well-connected everywhere is completely because he's powerful, handsome, and has tremendous personal charm," Fu Luo gave a thumbs up, "He has female admirers in all those organizations!"

Hearing Fu Luo's words, Lin Yu immediately felt a headache coming on.

This was pure fabrication!

Fortunately, those Marauders guys had been captured—they'd probably be monitored and controlled by Order afterward.

They wouldn't be able to spread these messages around.

So, even though he felt somewhat displeased at being portrayed this way by Fu Luo, Lin Yu accepted it.

"Okay, that was thoughtful of you," Lin Yu even had to compliment Fu Luo, "Alright, I have things to do... You should get ready to go meet May."

After speaking, Lin Yu bid temporary farewell to Fu Luo and left.

This was indeed a temporary farewell for Lin Yu...

Because barring unexpected circumstances, he would be seeing Fu Luo again soon—in his "May" identity!

After leaving the area, Lin Yu began another round of disguise.

Waiting for False Face's cooldown while also changing into attire suitable for the May identity.

Of course, finding clothes and changing didn't take that long.

So while waiting for False Face's cooldown, Lin Yu also investigated the new problems that had emerged.

He checked through Heavenly Artisan about commissions within the Marauders... but found no leads.

After all, Heavenly Artisan wasn't exactly an important figure among the Marauders.

Trying to figure out who was investigating his "May" identity and for what purpose yielded absolutely no results.

Lin Yu still didn't even understand how the Marauders had pinpointed Fu Luo's whereabouts—from what Almond had revealed, the mastermind behind it had even broadcast Fu Luo's location in real-time.

Getting to the truth of the matter seemed to require waiting for new clues to emerge... Perhaps Order's capture of those people might yield some breakthroughs during interrogation.

Anyway, he was already on the radar of important and dangerous figures from the Psychological Society—one more wouldn't make much difference.

Especially since... they were targeting the fake identity of "May."

"This is the downside of being too famous—someone's always keeping tabs on you."

As Lin Yu spoke, False Face's cooldown ended, and he transformed back into the currently quite famous May who had gained recent notoriety in player circles.

Then he took a taxi to the meeting place with Fu Luo—the Hua Yu Cafe on Changming Street.

This was a very stylish, elegant cafe, somewhat famous online with many fashionable young women coming here to take photos and check in.

From a distance, Lin Yu spotted Fu Luo being pulled aside by a fashionable girl asking to take photos with him.

"Um, hello, could we take a photo together?"

He was tall and had exotic features, and even though his clothing was somewhat strange, on him it seemed like "style."

Of course... provided Fu Luo didn't open his mouth.

"Thank you, may I ask which country you're from? Europe or?"

"Damn your mother, I'm from Henan!"

His booming voice, heavily emphasizing "Henan," immediately scared the fashionable girl away at top speed.

A triumphant smile appeared on Fu Luo's face, as if he'd won some kind of victory.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Yu sighed helplessly.

He'd nearly been kidnapped by the Marauders just this morning, yet he'd adjusted so quickly.

This guy's greatest strength was his positive mindset!
