Chapter 526 Negotiation Skills

Following the captain's instructions, after opening the door of the second room on the right, Lin Yu saw Zhu Rong again.

The furnishings in the room are equally "luxurious", with upholstered sofas, wooden coffee tables, air conditioning, a single bed, and even a TV, refrigerator and a separate bathroom.

If you took the photos and asked the residents of the city that never sleeps, few would guess that this is the "detention center" of the Public Security Bureau where prisoners are detained.

Zhu Rong just sat cross-legged on the sofa and closed his eyes to relax.

Today, he no longer wears the black robe that hides his figure, but instead wears a loose, lightweight bright yellow prison uniform.

Lin Yu also saw Zhu Rong's appearance - it was indeed completely different from the red-haired woman he had seen before when he accepted the C-77 commission.

Zhu Rong is a man who looks to be in his early thirties. He has a square face, thick eyebrows, and a neat and clean face. His skin looks darker due to long-term sun exposure. His body is strong, well-proportioned, and full of strength. feel.

Hearing Lin Yu push the door open and come in, Zhu Rong opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yu with some surprise.

"It's you, Forpolo."

Lin Yu flicked the brim of his hat and said easily: "Are you surprised to see me?"

With that said, Lin Yu walked straight towards Zhu Rong and then sat on the sofa next to him.

Zhu Rong used his hands to prop up his cross-legged body and moved to the side to make room for Lin Yu.

"It's a bit surprising, because I can't figure out why you came to me."

"At least, I can't imagine why you came here so quickly."

Lin Yu looked at the other party and said with a smile: "You have been locked up in this kind of cell. If I don't come quickly, I'm afraid you will be released."

"It still needs to be locked up for at least 24 hours. After all, the princes and nobles are involved."

Zhu Rong said, then thought about it, took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, took out two cigarettes and sent them to Lin Yu.

"Do you want to smoke, Forpollo?"

Lin Yu looked at the other party's actions and was a little surprised.

What kind of brain circuit would make Zhu Rong smoke for himself at this moment?

After Lin Yu observed the other party for three seconds, he discovered that Zhu Rong seemed to be simply spreading smoke to himself, and there was no such thing as a test.

Therefore, he reluctantly rejected the other party.

"Thank you, no, smoking is harmful to health."

"Do you mind if I take one?"

"Mind you, second-hand smoke is also harmful to your health."

"OK."

Zhu Rong put away the cigarettes and cigarette boxes.

Lin Yu brought the topic back to the right track: "My purpose of coming to see you is very simple... I want to know who is behind you."

Zhu Rong smacked his lips and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked: "Did Evernight Huole ask you to ask?"

"No, I want to know... I'm curious, who are you working for," Lin Yu held his chin in his hand and asked, "Only you know that I'm working for Evernight Huole, but I don't know your background. , it’s too unfair.”

"Don't you know it's not a matter of your ability? How can there be such fairness?"

Zhu Rong asked seriously.

Lin Yu was choked by the other party's serious question.

He realized that negotiating with Zhu Rong and taking a roundabout way here did not seem to be a good choice.

Therefore, Lin Yu looked at Zhu Rong and changed his strategy.

"Okay, let me put it another way...I need to know who you are working for and why you assassinated the butler of Sheng Lankui."

"Why did I tell you?"

Zhu Rong still looked indifferent.

"You can't do anything to me... I can only be held here for one day - my crime is not enough to put me on trial."

Lin Yu knocked on the table: "But if I exert pressure through Evernight Sky Huole, the people behind you will eventually have to use their connections to compete with Nevernight Sky Huole again... This has happened so many times, who exactly is behind you? , I will naturally know when the time comes.”

"It's just that in this process, you are the one who suffers - do you really not mind using yourself as a point of 'pull' between the two forces?"

Zhu Rong heard this and nodded slowly after thinking: "If this is necessary... then I should endure it. This is also part of my duty."

"No matter what, I can't choose betrayal."

Although Zhu Rong's attitude was still firm, after hearing this, Lin Yu realized that there had been a turning point and a breakthrough in the negotiation.

"Is it your duty? It seems that you have a really good relationship with the other party," Lin Yu said softly, "But why do you insist on not letting me know? Do you think I will be detrimental to them?"

Zhu Rong heard this and said seriously: "Wouldn't it be detrimental to them if you work for Evernight Sky Huole?"

Lin Yu looked at Zhu Rong and suddenly changed the subject: "I worked with my friends in Haicheng to solve the accidental death case of 'Carrot', a member of the 'Players Mutual Aid Association'."

Zhu Rong was very surprised: "Why did you suddenly talk about things in the real world? What does this have to do with the city that never sleeps?"

"Of course, because I heard your name at that time. Uncle 'Carrot' assigned you to deal with a certain dangerous [prop], which means that he thinks you have good conduct and a relatively reliable character first. And it also has certain abilities.”

"After meeting you today, I think Uncle Carrot is quite accurate in judging people."

Zhu Rong was somewhat relieved to be praised by Lin Yu so much, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Uncle Carrot is a senior whom I respect very much. He has given me a lot of useful suggestions on the "leveling up" of the "farmer" and the selection of [props]..."

It is of course a proud thing to be praised and recognized by the seniors you respect.

But after all, the two are now in opposing positions, so Zhu Rong quickly forced a stern face and said: "So, what do you want to express by saying this?"

"Are you trying to get close to me? Maybe we can be a cooperative relationship outside, but in the city that never sleeps, we have chosen different positions."

Lin Yu looked at Zhu Rong and asked back: "Do you know why the last [prop] didn't fall into your hands?"

"Because the 'gambler' of 'Order' did not approve of the arrangement of 'Carrot'... At first I didn't know the reason, but now I understand."

"Although you are reliable, you are indeed... too stupid."

Lin Yu said lightly, and Zhu Rong's eyes widened: "Why are you attacking me personally?"

"This is not a personal attack, this is a fact I observed."

Lin Yu sighed.

"Do you think you are doing your job by insisting on not telling? Before I came in, I actually didn't know the identity of the person behind you... But now, I know it very well."

"First of all, the person behind you must be hostile to Buyetian Huo Le."

"Secondly... As long as their identities are known by Buyetian Huo Le, it will be a huge disadvantage."

"To be honest, at this point... the scope has been narrowed down a lot."

"And these are what you just told me."
