Chapter 1556: The Shrinking Trust

"I understand." Meisai plopped down onto the sofa in the reception area, behind him was a large stretch of floor-to-ceiling glass, sunlight piercing down from above, with the sky garden he had just passed on his right, part of the circular plaza behind him, faintly sensing two fighting silhouettes, and of course, the solid wall on his left.

"Aren’t you going to pick one?" Yelu Shou sat down as well, asking curiously.

"With Young Master Xiao’s generosity, what is there for me not to trust?"

"Then are you still angry?" Yelu Shou chuckled lightly, at this moment, a tall man with red hair walked out from behind the electronic door. "Lao Jiu!" Yelu Shou called out loudly, beckoning him over.

The red hair stood out remarkably; Lao Jiu scratched his hair, with a white bandage wrapped around his abdomen, yet he appeared much healthier. Yelu Shou found Lao Jiu’s red hair slightly bothersome, but according to Lao Jiu, it was a gift from his parents, and he didn’t want to dye it black as he did in the past.

Lao Jiu gave Meisai a cautious look, the sudden appearance of a stranger made him extremely uneasy. He nodded briefly and walked out, Yelu Shou shrugged indifferently. "After the hunt plan, these two will be handed to you, to be dealt with as important suspects in a major drug smuggling case. If you do not trust, you can personally verify."

"But at this point, Mr. Su cannot be taken by your police, Lin doesn’t want you to spoil his plan, that’s why..."

"I’ve already seen Young Master Xiao’s sincerity, please convey to him, inform me in advance if he needs our police to take action." Meisai didn’t request further, rather leaving Yelu Shou unsure how to proceed. "However, I do hope he can give me an explanation regarding the dock explosion. I believe we have some understanding on this matter, but today I received orders from higher up to re-investigate this case, the parties involved demand a resolution. Although I trust Young Master Xiao’s character, such flip-flopping causes trust to diminish."

"I did no such thing!" Xiao Lin entered while wiping sweat from his brow, followed by a large Mongolian Wolf whose eyes gleamed with golden light, growling at Meisai, fur bristling instantly.

"Young Master Xiao, surely you know Murong Lengyue!" Meisai uttered indifferently. "The Murong Clan has exerted pressure on the authorities, demanding we find the culprit within a week, or the Murong Family will handle it privately."

"What does Murong Lengyue have to do with this?" Xiao Lin felt puzzled, looking at his astonished expression, Meisai couldn’t extract any false information or evidence from him.

"The Murong Family’s cargo was placed on the ship attacked at Troy, worth over a billion, all destroyed in this explosion."

"What?" Xiao Lin shouted, turning to Yelu Shou. "What’s going on here?"

"I will investigate." The ship was originally scheduled to search for Mr. Su’s cargo vessel, how could it have Murong Family’s goods?

"Investigate! Within an hour, bring the person to me here." Xiao Lin swiftly issued a cold command; his instincts telling him someone must have benefited from the Murong Family here. What is Murong Lengyue up to? "I will give you an explanation."

Is Xiao Lin angry? Meisai pondered, looking at the petrified individuals beside him; this hour felt like a torturous ordeal.

Rapid footsteps approached from the other end, in less than an hour, Yelu Shou brought two people over, with unfamiliar, robust appearances. Xiao Lin stood upon seeing them. "These two, I leave to you, whether you trust me or not, this is my accountability to you."

Having said that, Xiao Lin left the reception room without hesitation, followed by Crow and Yelu Shou. Meisai observed the two unscathed individuals, whether what they said was true entirely depended on how much Meisai trusted Xiao Lin — if one hundred percent, what these two uttered was fact, otherwise, Xiao Lin casually found two people to take the fall.

Meisai suddenly felt helpless, never imagined the issue would evolve to this extent; merely wanting to question a seemingly trivial matter, perhaps excessively fixated, losing judgment due to an overemphasis on Xiao Lin’s promises. Who lacked sincerity, Xiao Lin taught a lesson in his own way.

Handcuffs were fastened on the two’s wrists, each pulled up, exiting the small building, with cars already thoughtfully arranged at the entrance. Meisai glanced back at the building before getting into the twisting vehicle and leaving.

"Lin, this person cannot be trusted." Yelu Shou stood by the third floor’s wind-proof glass, watching the car leave. "When Crow saw Meisai, it was on full alert, you saw it too, it’s never been like this with anyone."

Xiao Lin rested his straightened legs on the coffee table, arms sprawled on the sofa back, cigarette hanging from his lips, ignoring Yelu Shou’s words.

"Did you hear me? This person is untrustworthy, you shouldn’t have brought him to Black Street, it’s our last line of defense."

"Entering the tiger’s den to get the tiger cub!" On the brink of Yelu Shou’s outburst, Xiao Lin exhaled smoke along with the saying. His dark eyes gazed at the white ceiling, pain gradually compressing together. "Do you think after Wing, I can still trust people?"

Yelu Shou hesitated, his heart sharply constricting from Xiao Lin’s words. "You all are those who’ve been through thick and thin with me, even among such people, some would betray me; what about an outsider? Shou, your worry is needless, has our trust also shrunk?"

"Do you truly still believe Wing betrayed you?"

"The first time in the Underworld I realized he was the ’Black Crow’ mastermind, under dual identities, perhaps I could have forgiven him; but, Rainbow died!"

"Lin, Rainbow’s death wasn’t related to Wing!"

"Mm! He had to make us pay a life as a price because of the old man’s plan, if he could’ve breached even a hint earlier, perhaps there was a chance." Xiao Lin curled his lips. "I can endure one mistake, overlook two, but three, no chance!"

Yelu Shou sniffed, even beneath a cold exterior, he felt Xiao Lin’s heart riddled with holes. "Zimu’s update has come, Rainbow goes to a place every three weeks for a few days before leaving, I believe it could be Mu Rongyun’s fixed stronghold. If Tang was Rainbow, then perhaps, to resurrect the deceased, certain aids are imperative." Toward the end, Yelu Shou stuttered. (To be continued.
