Chapter 792: Forget it, it's a headache
Through a special network channel, Li Yu remotely arrived in a conference room in the Star Empire.
This is a large institution, divided into countless small holographic screens where various data are summarized and busy staff members come and go.
Everyone looked nervous and low noises could be heard from time to time.
When Li Yu arrived, most of the people here had already arrived, including some familiar ones and some unfamiliar ones.
Loren, Lloyd, Ennius and others were among them.
As an old tool man, Loren basically never misses any major events and is responsible for central command.
Everyone was discussing something in a low voice, but when they saw Li Yu coming, they stopped discussing involuntarily and all looked at him.
"Go on, don't worry about me. Have you found any other clues?" Li Yu walked up calmly and asked.
Enius did not answer his question, but asked: "Where is the real body of Lord Longzun? I remember that it has been a long time since he appeared."
"I'm busy with some important things." Li Yu made up an excuse casually.
"I heard that Lord Longzun went to the Empire in a rage because of Moduo, but now he is unwilling to even show his true self." The woman Enius asked, and there was obviously other meaning in her words.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What does Your Highness Enius mean by this? Are you doubting me?"
"Now that it has happened, do I have to have a sour face and get angry every day because of some trivial things for no reason?"
“What’s the point of doing this?”
Ennius's face immediately darkened, and he felt that this sentence had a hidden meaning.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's talk about the general situation." Loren smoothed things over and said, "We have cleared most of the tentacles outside the Gods' Council in the old days."
"However, all the Mithril Church leaders who were under surveillance in the territory have died suddenly, so this clue is mostly gone."
"And the pioneers have been so busy lately that they probably don't have time to do anything else. We can basically rule them out as suspects."
“…”
Loren briefly described the intelligence clues he had collected during this period, which were basically useless.
"Hmm..." Li Yu nodded and said, "The Old Ones will definitely not surrender. Once they admit this, they will face the double pressure from the Star Empire and the Parliament."
Their external activities were cut off by the Star Empire, and their internal activities were severely suppressed by the Parliament. They couldn't bear it.
"So...?" Loren seemed to realize something and asked tentatively.
"According to our speculation, the other party is very likely to throw out an object to divert the target and help them attract firepower." Li Yu laid the groundwork.
Everyone had different looks on their faces, and then they heard Li Yu continue, "And the target of this transfer is likely to be me."
Loren and the others looked at each other, and Enius said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency Long Zun really knows a lot about the Old Ones. It is true. They spread information about you on a large scale in the parliament."
"They even got someone to pass on a message to us, saying that before the incident, Murdo had contacted them to cooperate and ambush Shane together."
"Of course, we already knew this news a long time ago, thanks to His Excellency Long Zun's frankness."
Although he said this, the suspicion in Enius's eyes could not be concealed.
Li Yu snorted coldly: "There were only three parties present at the time. Since Xia En is missing, they will definitely blame us."
"Then can we also infer that you will also blame them?" Ennius added.
"What do you mean?" Li Yu looked unhappy and asked, "Do you also suspect that I did it?"
"I also suspected that you hid Shane from me to evade my revenge."
Ennius turned his head away and didn't argue with Li Yu.
Now there are two suspects, one of whom is their collaborator, so we have to use evidence to prove it.
At this moment, a staff member came hurriedly and reported in a low voice: "The Imperial Patrol Fleet has captured a key figure... maybe there are important clues."
"Who is it? Send him here quickly!" Ennius shouted .
"It's on the way and should be arriving soon..." As the staff member spoke, he projected the relevant information over.
"Someone from the Mithril Church? A widow... huh?" After checking the relevant information, everyone couldn't help but reveal strange expressions and looked at Li Yu secretly.
"Acquaintance..." Li Yu also said frankly: "I have met her before..."
"Yes..." the staff member continued, "According to the information we have collected, the Mithril Church is secretly hunting down a goddaughter who may have important information."
"That person seems to have some connection with Lord Long Zun..."
Everyone's expression changed slightly again, and they looked at Li Yu again. Why are you everywhere?
"However, later on, this person codenamed Widow disappeared at the same time as several other A-level life forms."
"This matter has nothing to do with me. We just came from the same place." Li Yu shook his head.
"Master Long Zun is right..." the staff member continued:
"The goddaughter who stole the confidential information is named Xiqi. Her family is currently missing, but based on some evidence , it is certain that it was done by the Reformers."
Several people had different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking about.
Half a day later, the people who secretly escorted the widow arrived here, and Ennius went to interrogate them in a hurry.
Li Yu naturally wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Enius, who used some excuse that it involved core secrets, which sounded ridiculous anyway.
Li Yu pretended to be unhappy and had a sour face. Loren was not interested in coming over, so he pretended to be working diligently and went to review the data.
Lloyd, however, glanced at Loren who was standing in front of the holographic screen, approached Li Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Did you do this?"
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He glanced at the sneaky Lloyd and whispered, "You suspect it's me too ?"
"We have been in contact for such a long time, don't you have any trust in me at all?"
Lloyd thought for a moment and said with deep conviction: "It is precisely because I have been in contact with you for a long time that I suspect you did it."
Damn it...
Li Yu looked at Lloyd speechlessly and said earnestly: "You must understand your identity and think carefully about every word you say. Do you have evidence? Just say so."
"No, but my intuition tells me it's you." Lloyd said calmly.
Li Yu was even more speechless and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was still complaining without any evidence.
Lloyd, who seemed to be staring at the holographic screen, seemed to have a twitching mouth.
No one knew what kind of interrogation methods the Star Empire used. After only about two or three hours, Enius returned with a gloomy look.
"How's it going?" Lloyd asked.
Ennius glanced at Li Yu with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"It seems that the interrogation has uncovered some secrets that we cannot know." Li Yu sneered and continued:
"I just have one question. Does that information help us identify the suspect?"
"Yes, this news makes the old suspect even more suspicious..." Enius hesitated, "Besides, her memory has obviously been erased."
"Oh..." Li Yu frowned slightly, not seeming excited, and said, "At this juncture, I just found out some news that is unfavorable to the old man."
"It looks like someone is deliberately guiding this, and I'm the obvious beneficiary."
Ennius was also a little confused. I haven't even started talking yet, and you're already leading the charge towards you?
She did have this idea, so it's no wonder she was suspicious.
The widow had been missing for so long, and she happened to appear at this time.
The captain of the fleet that discovered her and was responsible for the smuggling had no impression of the widow at all, as if she appeared out of thin air in his fleet.
Moreover, his memory was also cleared, and the information obtained was obviously unfavorable to the past. It seemed like a deliberate guidance no matter how you looked at it.
"But it's also possible that the Old One figured out your intentions and threw the widow out..." Li Yu muttered: "Maybe you deliberately threw her out to disrupt the situation just to protect Xia En..."
"But for you, it is possible that if we calculate it, you will also calculate it..."
"Stop!" Veins popped out around Loren's temples. Damn, if they keep doing this, it will only get more and more chaotic.
Ennius rubbed his brows. After Li Yu's analysis, the situation seemed even more complicated.
"Don't think too much about it for now. Since the evidence is real, the old suspect is naturally more likely."
The nesting doll thinking can go on and on, endlessly.
Now that the evidence is out there, let's investigate in this direction.
When looking up old times, we are back to the original question: how to check?
It would be difficult for them to intervene in the Gods' Council. If they made a big move, everyone would know that Shane was up to something.
"The Old Ones are not councillors, and they are not invincible. We can send an elite team in..." Lloyd suggested.
"Didn't you really hide Xia En?" Li Yu suddenly asked suspiciously again.
"Of course not!" Enius said in a deep voice.
"Evidence." Li Yu said coldly, "You found evidence that proves it wasn't me who did it, and I want evidence too."
"Otherwise, I will order the A-level alliance to reject all requests for assistance from the Star Empire and publicly express my dissatisfaction with you."
Ennius took a deep breath, feeling a rage in his heart that he had nowhere to vent.
Who said it's proven that it wasn't you who did it?
It’s just that the suspicion from the past is greater. That’s not right. It’s not certain who threw the widow out. How did you get rid of the suspicion?
Li Yu's sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
"Believe me, Diguo Jue did not hide Shane on purpose." Loren looked at Li Yu.
"How can I trust you?" Li Yu sneered: "You are hiding Xia En's affairs. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to continue to communicate on this matter."
"Since you guys said it was Jiu Ri who did it, then I'm going to check Jiu Ri. If I find any evidence that proves you're shielding Shane, just wait!"
Li Yu said this and directly disconnected the communication link.
Lloyd was also confused. Could it be that it really wasn't Li Yu who did it?
…
"Go ahead and check it out, it's unlikely you can find anything..." Li Yu hung up the phone, and his aggressive expression disappeared in an instant.
After his series of outrageous actions, the Xingyao Empire will definitely not be able to pay attention in the short term, and can only focus on the old days.
As for the Gods' Council, it is unknown how long it will take for them to truly find out the details of the situation.
By the time they react, the Supreme Forge might already be in their hands.
However, Mo Duo on the side slowly came up and said, "Didn't you ask the Lord of Destiny to help me increase my strength? I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Star Empire."
"It's okay, just change your identity." Li Yu said nonchalantly.
"Even if I change my identity, the authority of the God of Death cannot be changed. The Star Empire cannot help but be suspicious." Mo Duo was still a little worried.
Li Yu's eyes flickered. Xia En was related to the important plan of the Star Empire.
If Cyril's death was caused by the Star Empire's own actions, it would be acceptable.
But Xia En's disappearance meant that Li Yu took the initiative to challenge the bottom line of the Star Empire, and it was impossible for him to swallow his anger any longer.
Li Yu has already placed some of his industrial lines outside, at least Guixing is still his logistical core.
Once the Xingyao Empire decides to turn against him, Li Yu will have no choice but to hide again.
Moreover, the A-level alliance will also suffer a major blow or even be in danger of destruction.
Even if Li Yu made a call, there was no certainty that many members of the A-level alliance would be willing to fight for him and the Star Empire.
Li Yuyi turned around and disappeared, but their relatives, friends and industries could not disappear.
Falling out would be a huge loss for both him and the Star Empire, and no one would choose to do so until the last moment.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to make them shut up when the time comes." Li Yu smiled and comforted them.
