Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 32 Key Points

"Hey, Xiaolin, you actually called me? Are you ready to join the processing bureau? You're always welcome here."

When the call was connected, a female voice that sounded particularly mature came through.

"Long time no see Jiajia. Forget about joining me. If you want to join my firm, I can consider it."

"Are you still just considering it? Your temper hasn't changed at all. Just tell me, what can I do for you? As our college classmates and club friends, I'll agree to do anything I can." The tone of the person on the other end sounded more lively, quite different from Lin Yilin's.

Lin Yilin paused and said, "I want to know the progress of Shenlai Office's handling of the remnants of the Kanneton family."

"...Ah, you are so well-informed as expected. Are you also investigating related matters? But their actions last night seemed to be quite bad."

"Well, so I want to take a look at the specific situation so as to control the extent of possible actions to be taken later." Lin Yilin said in a still cold tone.

"Wait a minute~, I'm on a business trip right now, I'll go ask the person in charge there for you."

"Okay, trouble."

After saying that, the phone was temporarily hung up.

Zheng Fan asked curiously: "Who is on the other side?"

"My college classmate and club friend. I joined the Processing Bureau when I was in school and served as its external consultant, a service role within the Processing Bureau that is specifically responsible for connecting with various law firms."

"Just that?" The tone of their conversation just now didn't sound that simple at all.

Can a small consultant really ask questions about the affairs of a big firm?
"She's just more powerful. After all, she's my friend."

“That’s pretty convincing.”

If he could be friends with Lin Yilin, then Zheng Fan had no choice but to accept it.

I just mentioned that they were even friends in the club. That weird club seemed to have done something wrong.

Could it be that there are many evil people in there?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yilin called Zheng Fan over and showed him the information on the computer screen: "Here is the information I compiled last night about the nameless casino and several common layout points of the Canneton family on Xixikoko Street."

As she spoke, she drew a big cross on one of them with her mouse.

“This one exploded last night.”

"So many? It seems that losing one point won't have much impact on them?" Zheng Fan asked.

"You can't say it's small. After all, what's important is people rather than location. And the locations in closed communities are definitely more important." Lin Yilin corrected.

"How do we check so many?"

"Originally, we just had to sit back and wait. Once we knew their location, my intelligence network could keep an eye on their activities. But with what Shenlai did, we have to exercise more subjective initiative." Lin Yilin sighed.

It is conceivable that after the remnants of the Canneton family were attacked, all the information at hand may have become invalid.

There is no way they can fight a big firm with the hope of getting away with it. They are probably already preparing or have even started to move.

"The situation is getting confusing, so we can only try to get ahead of Shenlai." Zheng said. Shenlai's action style last night was swift and resolute, and he would never hold back. If Linde was caught, he would definitely die.

Lin Yilin picked up her phone and looked at it. At about the same time, the phone rang and she answered it immediately.

"Any news?"

"You scared me. Can you always answer the phone so accurately?" someone on the other end complained.

"I just happened to be watching."

"It's a bit scary... Anyway, I got the information. I'll send you a copy. Is your regular email address the same?"

"Okay, thank you Jiajia."

"No need. I'll come back to Xixikeke Street to find you. Remember to treat me to a meal."

"You only have a limited appetite, so eat as much as you can. By the way, Jiajia, what are you doing on your business trip?"

"Nothing, just the conclusion of the previous extinction of Jacob's family."

"That matter still has no result?" Lin Yilin's tone became a little lower.

"The conclusion we can give to the outside world is still civil unrest, but the actual situation points to some traces that are worthy of discussion, and can be linked to some things that happened a long time ago." The voice on the other end of the phone also became a little more serious.

"It seems to be somewhat close to the possibility you mentioned before, Xiaolin. Anyway, if there is any relevant result, I will let you know."

"...Okay, thank you, be safe." The phone was hung up.

Lin Yilin was in a daze for a while until Zheng Fan called her back to her senses.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's okay. I have something I want to investigate. But my current identity doesn't provide a good entry point, so I can only rely on Jia Jia to help me. And not everything may be the same as I guessed." Lin Yilin said in a low voice, basically muttering to herself.

"The Jacob family... the super gang that didn't get killed before?"

Lin Yilin nodded slightly.

"Well, that sounds troublesome." Zheng Fan looked out the window.

Putting her thoughts aside, Lin Yilin opened the information that had been sent to her email.

Zheng Fan was watching alongside.

Regarding the Canneton family, which collapsed along with the demise of the Jacob family, the Shenlai Office on Xixikoko Street, commissioned by the government of the metropolis, has been allocating a force to clean up their remaining remnants.

Most of the remaining members fled away when disaster struck, and the initial cleanup work went relatively smoothly.

After a period of time, most of the remaining remnants disappeared and their whereabouts became extremely difficult to track.

According to reliable sources, the remaining remnants regrouped their forces at an astonishing speed, restored internal order, and launched some kind of action in an attempt to accumulate strength for a comeback.

After several conflicts with the remnant forces, it is basically certain that the remnants have joined forces with a certain illusion.

It can be seen that the illusion has been cultivated by them to a considerable extent. During this period, the Shenlai Office has increased its attention to the task of cleaning up the remnants of Kannetong.

So they stopped acting randomly and instead concentrated their efforts on launching a wave of elimination.

The above is a general outline of how Shenlai Office dealt with the remnants of Kannetong.

Some more specific action records are listed below.

Zheng Fan probably lost the desire to read after reading it for a few seconds. People are really becoming more and more phobic about reading, commonly known as "I won't read anything that's too long."

After looking at it for a while, Lin Yilin started to compare the information from Shenlai Agency with her own information.

Zheng Fan took out the singularity and did his own thing.

After a long while, Lin Yilin stood up from her seat: "Almost done... eh? What happened to Mr. Hallucination?"

He was about to say something, but when he saw Zheng looking at his palm with a frown, he asked.

Zheng Fan waved his hands and looked over: "Lin Yilin, you are very rich, right?"

"Much higher than most ordinary people. High deposits, savings interest rates, and when I have nothing to do, I'll manage my finances a bit..." Although Lin Yilin was confused, she still answered directly.

"Does the property hallucination require contact with 'physical cash' to function?" Zheng asked.

"It's hard to generalize, but most of the time it's true. Because when hallucinations invade reality, it's easier to accept the concept of entity."

"Does the stolen money belong to you?" Zheng Fan asked again.

"If it's stolen, of course it counts. After all, no matter where it comes from, money is money." Lin Yilin tilted her head and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Mr. Illusion, are you..."

"It's okay, just trying." Zheng Fan grinned, put his hands back into his pockets, and said nothing more, turning to business, "What did you just say? Should we take action?"

"Well, comparing it to the intelligence from the Shenlai Agency, I think if Lind was indeed recruited as an elite, he should not be in the position he was in last night."

"How to say?"

"Shenlai has investigated some superficial intelligence in more detail, but there is an important layout point that he seems to have missed, so I checked the neglected layout point in detail. I found that I also neglected it, and there was not much record of that point in my intelligence. But now it seems that something is wrong."

Lin Yilin opened her phone and said, "This location is not in the closed community and does not accept the lower-level cleaners. The people coming and going are suspected to be their 'elites'. Then the intelligence from the gods was about several recent transactions in the underground black market, which were suspected to be related to the nameless casino. They didn't have time to sort it out. I traced the source and found that some important ones came from this point, and the transaction amount from this point was significantly higher than that of other sections."

"The key layout point." Zheng Fan concluded.

Lin Yilin nodded, took the coat off the coat rack and put it on: "Shenlai will not give up after the failure last night, and will not give the remnants of Kannetong more opportunities to adjust. They will immediately gather their forces to launch a full-scale attack to sweep. Although they haven't noticed this point now, it's only a matter of time. We have to speed up."

After saying that, she quickly rushed out of the office.

Zheng Fan shrugged and followed slowly.
