Chapter 562: Public Security Bureau Trends, Paris's Back-up Plan
There is less than an hour left until Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony in Buyetian begins.
The lights of the skyscrapers in the city that never sleeps are lit up one after another, and dusk gradually emerges from the end of the horizon, infecting the sky above the city.
In the auditorium and exhibition hall of the Buyetian family, most of the guests have already arrived.
The dignitaries, dressed in gorgeous gowns, gathered together to chat, enjoying cold wine and exquisite snacks, and commenting on the precious gifts in the exhibition hall, in order to win over their feelings or test each other.
But beyond these routine topics, everyone can't help but ask similar questions out of curiosity.
"Strange, why don't you see Forbolto?"
Although he is just a commoner, the name "Forbolo" is undoubtedly the most popular name in the city that never sleeps recently.
And the fact that he was going to pursue the noble second daughter of the Buyetian family, the eccentric Buyetian Huoxing, was also talked about by everyone!
Many people rushed to the venue, intending to have a chat with this magical "detective".
However, after arriving, everyone searched the entire venue but couldn't find the detective!
"The Dukes have already started to arrive. Why hasn't he, a commoner, arrived yet?"
"I heard they were preparing a surprise..."
"What a weird guy! Even if he's favored by the Buyetian family, he can't be so presumptuous, right?"
"Even Lord Huo Le of the Nightless Sky has no objection, so why should we gossip about it?"
"But if I were Lord Huo Le of Buyetian, I would have to teach him a lesson after tonight. No matter how famous and accomplished a commoner is, he shouldn't break the rules like this!"
"I think that Forboluo is no fool. He must have a reason for acting this way..."
"Perhaps this was all instructed by Lord Huo Le of Buyetian!"
"If it was really His Excellency Huo Le's order, then what did she intend to do?"
"Perhaps it's to win the favor of Lord Huo Xing of Buyetian. After all, Lord Huo Xing of Buyetian has a rather eccentric personality and a unique taste."
"Well, now that you mention it, it's really possible. After all, that's Lady Huo Xing. Maybe doing this will really make her notice Forboluo."
The nobles were talking at once and making irresponsible speculations.
Sheng Lankui was listening to the increasingly outrageous rumors in the venue, and his face was not very good.
"What a mess! I'm early, but I'm not as sincere as him who's late?"
Saint Lankui muttered irritably, while Art Mercury beside him shook his head.
"Sincerity is almost the last thing you need when pursuing a woman."
"What's more, the one you're pursuing is Huo Xing... Although I've been living in seclusion these past few years, I'm still living in Buyetian's house, so I've seen that kid a few times."
As Art Mercury spoke, Saint Lankui looked at the old man again, making an expression as if he was listening attentively.
When it comes to the Nevernight Fire Apricot, Sheng Lankui is naturally extremely sensitive.
Seeing Saint Lankui's appearance, Art Mercury smiled.
"If I want to please that kid, I think acting a little 'abnormal' is a good idea... but I don't think being late on purpose will be enough."
"It depends on what specific 'surprises' he has prepared."
Art Mercury said this, and Saint Lankui nodded solemnly.
"I see... But no matter what, it seems that Forboluo is indeed a worthy opponent!"
But just as Saint Lankui finished saying this, the old butler Barry hurried into the exhibition hall and came to his side.
Barry's injuries were no longer serious, so he naturally returned to his normal work.
His appearance here at this time naturally means...
"Oh, Saint Lanlai and Saint Lanye are here too, right?"
Sheng Lankui looked at Barry who was coming over and spoke calmly.
He came here in advance with a few servants in his personal capacity. Naturally, the guests of the Shenglan family who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony had to arrive now.
Of course, Barry came with the "main force" of the Shenglan family.
Hearing Sheng Lankui's words, Barry nodded.
"Yes, the eldest and second young masters are here too. They will come in shortly."
Barry said, then lowered his voice before speaking seriously.
"There's one more thing, Master Sheng Lankui...some people from the Public Security Bureau are outside, and the people from the Sorens family seem to be plotting something."
Sheng Lankui was a little surprised: "The Sorens family, what are they planning to do?"
"It should be related to Forboluo," Barry whispered. "It seems they used Forboluo's wanted warrant yesterday to make some fuss and hinder Evernight Fire Music from removing the warrant."
"Should we do anything to prepare for this?"
Barry asked for instructions - after all, he had no idea what Saint Lankui's attitude towards Forboluo was.
Although they are currently in opposition, the relationship has become blurred since he was rescued.
And Sheng Lankui was also in a dilemma.
"Targeting Forbolo?... Then let's wait and see what happens."
"If necessary, you can also help Forpolo. Even though he's on the side of Buyetian Huo Le, and Buyetian Huo Le is on Sheng Lanlai's side, Buyetian Huo Shu is also trying to get him anyway." Sheng Lan Kui paused. "What's more, I don't like those opportunistic pests in the Sorens family who wait for an opportunity to make a profit!"
Hearing what Sheng Lankui said, Barry nodded.
"Understood, Master. If anyone from the Sorens family makes any moves, I will inform you immediately."
Sheng Lankui then ordered, "And Forbolo, if that guy shows up, please notify me."
Barry was stunned: "Isn't Forbolto here?"
Sheng Lankui sighed and said, "Yes, he hasn't arrived yet."
……
At the same time, in the control room.
Huo Le of Buyetian frowned slightly as he looked at the people from the Public Security Bureau approaching Buyetian’s house on the surveillance screen.
"Why did the Sorens family call the Security Bureau again? Are they going to arrest Forboluo again?"
And it's not just here. According to intelligence reports, the police officers on duty in the entire city that never sleeps are searching for something!
"Could it be that they found some new evidence?"
She thought seriously, then looked at Paris beside her.
"Are there any extra people now, Paris?"
President Paris nodded: "Of course, sir...are we going to go to war with the Public Security Bureau and the Sorens family head-on?"
Although it may be unbelievable in other worlds, in this world... the private armed forces of the three major companies and the five major nobles have the power to wage "war" - this is even a legal act stipulated by the law.
The target of the battle could even be the Public Security Bureau of the city that never sleeps.
But... no one has done this for a long time.
So when he heard Paris's proposal, Huo Le knew it was a joke.
"Don't be ridiculous, Paris. I want you to send someone smart enough to find Forbolto before the police come."
"Isn't there someone you sent with him? Don't you even have a way to contact them urgently?"
Paris smiled and said, "You are right... indeed there is, but I must make it clear, sir... I have no intention of monitoring Forboluo!"
As he spoke, Paris turned on the private communicator. After a brief operation, Paris looked up with a grim expression.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid you won't believe it."
"It seems the people I sent out...rebelled."
