Only four people were seated in car number one.

Liu Xuan, Liu Li, Liu Heng, and an S-Class Implanter whom Lin Qi didn’t recognize.

Liu Xuan was calm, unlike Liu Li, who was far more emotional.

Liu Xuan asked, "Is this Father’s doing?"

Liu Xinglu, the S-Class Implanter, spoke slowly. "The Si Clan must have offended someone else. These aren’t Xing Yuan’s methods."

"Besides, Xing Yuan is all the way in Red Fruit City and doesn’t have the ability to learn the Si Clan’s core secrets."

Liu Xinglu also wondered which faction had made a move against the Si Clan.

’To have intelligence on the Si Clan’s heir, the faction that acted must also be in Greenfield City,’ he thought.

The Round Table Conference, the Assassin Alliance, the Holy Relic Legion...

The names of one powerful faction after another flashed through Liu Xinglu’s mind, only to be quickly ruled out.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Xinglu seized upon a glimmer of Spiritual Light. "Ever since the Red and Green arrived in Greenfield City, it seems a mysterious Extraordinary Professional has been helping our Liu Clan. Xiaoxuan, do you have any leads?"

Liu Xinglu suspected that the mysterious Extraordinary Professional acting from the shadows must have arrived in Greenfield City aboard the Red and Green.

It was because this mysterious Extraordinary Professional took action that Liu Xuan survived last night, and the Liu Clan’s crisis in Greenfield City came to an abrupt end.

Everything had ended so suddenly.

A blue light flickered faintly in Liu Xuan’s left eye—it was an L-Class Suppressor.

After last night, Liu Xuan’s mental state had become increasingly stable, and her need for a Suppressor had unexpectedly dropped directly from S-Class to L-Class.

This was an extremely rare phenomenon in the use of Prosthetic Bodies like Suppressors.

Generally speaking, regardless of a cyber psychosis diagnosis, once someone starts using a Suppressor, their required tolerance level will gradually increase; it almost never goes down.

The blue light flickered slightly, and Liu Xinglu precisely identified the increase in Liu Xuan’s Suppressor output.

But Liu Xuan just shook her head. "I don’t know. Father didn’t give me any related instructions, so it’s probably not someone from our Liu Clan."

’Is that so?’

Liu Xinglu had his doubts.

But Liu Xuan’s status was special, almost on par with Liu Li, the heir.

Even if Liu Xinglu felt Liu Xuan might know something, he wouldn’t press the matter.

After she said this, the blue light in Liu Xuan’s left eye faded once more, and the Suppressor’s output dropped back to near zero.

Meanwhile, Liu Li, sitting to the side, hadn’t picked up on any of the subtext and was still cheerful.

"Oh, right. There’s an assassination mission for Si Ranran on the Black Market, but the bounty seems a bit too low. Should we add to it? The Si Clan nearly got Sister killed, after all."

Liu Li had finally thought of something important and suddenly spoke up.

However, the moment she said it, Liu Xinglu, Liu Xuan, and even Liu Heng gave her a look like she was a complete idiot.

In the end, it was Liu Xinglu who spoke up. "Xing Yuan already thought of that. But accessing the Black Market to post a mission with Wuheng takes time; you have to go through multiple proxies."

Just as Liu Xinglu was answering Liu Li’s question, Lin Qi received an email.

The sender was Guang Ling.

"Someone added thirty million Credit Points to the assassination of Si Ranran. Although there’s no proof, I suspect it was most likely the Liu Clan. According to the Black Market’s rules, the thirty million has been automatically added to the bounty mission you posted."

"I can see from the publisher portal that more than twenty Mercenary Corps have already joined the mission."

Since Guang Ling had taken an agent’s fee from Lin Qi, they were naturally responsible for after-sales service.

They informed Lin Qi about the update to the mission immediately. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Qi didn’t reply to the email. Instead, he retracted his Spiritual Vision and settled into his seat to rest.

He remained partially alert, ensuring he would wake instantly at the first sign of trouble, and then fell asleep.

He had been exhausted for days. The business in Greenfield City was finally over, at least for now.

...

The train ran smoothly, and there were no further incidents along the way.

No one was willing to attack the steel behemoth that was the Red and Green from the outside.

Just as it reached noon, the train arrived at its final destination.

The carriage gradually grew restless, and Lin Qi opened his eyes.

Red Fruit City. They had arrived.

He activated his Spiritual Vision. Everything was so familiar.

He got up, preparing to leave the train.

Just then, a company-wide email was sent to everyone’s inbox.

[Liu’s Heavy Industries: Your job assignment has been changed. The company’s Greenfield branch has been dissolved. Please wait for the system to re-register your work location, work hours, and job responsibilities.]

[You have received a transfer offer from Liu’s Heavy Industries Corporation, Headquarter, Pharmaceutical Department. The specific position is A-level Researcher in Pharmacy (Priority Development Track).]

[If you accept this offer, you will be assigned the job responsibilities indicated in the offer.]

[If you decline this offer, you will be assigned a position at Liu’s Heavy Industries·Red Fruit Weapon Research Institute·Prosthetic Engineering Department as an L-level Researcher (Priority Development Track).]

Lin Qi had just received the email when Liu Weicai, sitting in the row in front of him, turned around and said, "Go ahead and reply to the company’s transfer email. The Pharmaceutical Department is being reorganized at headquarters today. You can take this afternoon off. We’ll resume normal work tomorrow after our new work locations are confirmed."

After speaking with Lin Qi, Liu Weicai turned his head in the other direction to look at Dong Wenlong. "Don’t look so miserable. The Pharmaceutical Department is being reorganized, and there’s a high probability I’ll be appointed as the new director. I’ve already tried applying to the company for a special provision for the department. Once it’s approved, the annual leave you accumulated in Greenfield City might be reinstated in the system."

As soon as he said this, the light returned to Dong Wenlong’s eyes.

Lin Qi, however, just nodded calmly.

Liu Weicai was a member of the Liu Clan, after all, and he had been the head of the Pharmaceutical Department in Greenfield City for a long time.

He certainly had a knack for winning people over.
