Chapter 881: Chapter 846: Follow-up Work_2

"Putting parents aside for a moment, why would a maid dare to whip the young lady of the house with a leather whip?"

Song Lan suggested a thorough investigation into Veronica’s housemaids.

"You have done your best, but this matter is much more complex than you think, and it’s not something you can resolve,"

Song Lan coughed lightly and said.

"How complex?"

"Simply put, Xingo Xi’s death is related to the events in The First Region, and it was an organized, premeditated assassination operation orchestrated by an organization we have always focused on."

For his own peace of mind, Song Lan used Military Intelligence Section Seven as a shield.

"That is why you came to the Fourth Region, Teacher Lucky."

Veronica suddenly understood.

Accepting Director Guan’s invitation to join the "Master of Rescuers" show was actually to infiltrate Kolo Film Industry; unfortunately, the killer organization had significant pull, this time even CP0 and Mr. Lucky were a step behind.

Thinking about this made Veronica feel much better.

As the teacher had said, this was not an event they could interfere with.

Although the founder was eventually murdered, they had at least managed to kill the assassin sent by the organization.

Clearly, this was going to be a prolonged tug-of-war.

Song Lan lowered his voice and said, "As long as you understand, do not publicize it."

"What about the news that came out earlier? About the founder passing the project in the meeting and privately supporting criminals to work for the company?"

The question was asked by Valerian.

Unlike Veronica, she was more concerned about the information she had previously investigated.

Although Kolo Film Industry used their best "mass amnesia" technique online to clamp down on all news, discussions, and video sources after the information spread, they couldn’t erase the memories of those who directly experienced it, and Valerian vividly remembered everything she had seen, inevitably leading her to grow suspicious of Kolo Film Industry.

She had originally accompanied Veronica to meet the founder and ask him directly.

Unfortunately, Xingo Xi was killed before she could ask her questions.

"It is indeed true,"

Song Lan said.

Since Lu Xiang had taken over Sea of Souls, he no longer needed to worry about Valerian and the others encountering surveillance and laser weapon attacks during their investigation.

After receiving affirmative answers, Valerian took a deep breath, her sense of justice making it impossible for her to stand by and watch the company cover up the truth.

She didn’t know this person called Rob Lucci, and although his first impression was somewhat similar to that of a department head, she found him to be much more sinister after spending some time with him, exuding the aura of a United Government intelligence officer.

Military Intelligence Section Seven and CP0 were too far removed from their lives, prompting her to ask, "Are you going to help the company cover up their crimes?"

"Not exactly, Military Intelligence Section Seven has always maintained an open attitude towards this matter; it has never been at the core of our work."

"An open attitude?"

"We do not plan to investigate the actions of Kolo Film Industry, but we will not prevent others from investigating them either."

"Then what exactly is going on?"

Valerian became thoroughly confused, "If ’Master of Rescuers’ is a program under Kolo Film Industry, why would the show itself investigate the company?"

After arriving in the Fourth Region and observing what was going on, Valerian was forced to reconsider Zhuang Chi’s views on the company; there were too many dark secrets unknown to the public, and she could imagine that perhaps the ultimate goal of the season was to use the investigation as a pretext to exonerate the company’s actions.

Thinking about this possibility made Valerian feel nauseous and want to quit the show.

"You can understand it as internal strife within the company. To my knowledge, not everyone initially supported this plan. There are still some within the company who believe in the spirit of the rescuer. In a sense, your next actions could have a profound impact, possibly altering Kolo Film Industry’s future strategies."

"I understand, Teacher Lucky,"

Veronica picked up the conversation, "We will continue the investigation."

Born into a prominent family, with parents in high positions within the Counter-Intelligence Department, Veronica had long been inured to the company’s actions; compared to the truly heinous crimes, supporting criminals for the company’s use seemed trivial.

Even while harboring a sense of justice, it was necessary to be flexible.

This was what she had learned over the years.

Recklessness couldn’t achieve justice. It only brought them catastrophic disasters. Veronica believed that throughout the years, Kolo Film Industry had gotten rid of countless people like Valerian who were full of a sense of justice but lacked means, all tracing back to that company executive who died in a car bomb incident.

She understood the profound meaning of Teacher Lucky.

There was never such a thing as an "open attitude" in this world.

Not stopping it was tantamount to condoning it.

With the identity of the highest Executor at Military Intelligence Section Seven, once he intervened in the investigation, it would change the nature of the matter, potentially bringing the Ragus Foundation into the picture at that point.

Teacher Lucky’s real intention was to encourage them to investigate privately and, after obtaining favorable evidence, Military Intelligence Section Seven could potentially choke the throats of Kolo Film Industry and the Ragus Foundation.

"Dong dong dong－"

As this private conversation came to a close, the knocking on the door also timely sounded.

From outside, there came the distinctive voice of Guan Lili, "Mr. Lucky, they said you were here, I—"

Guan Lili naturally pushed open the room’s door.

She believed that with her relationship with Song Lan, there was no need to be restricted by so many rules and regulations.

Their relationship had reached the point where, in times of crisis, she could wrap herself in a blanket and seek refuge in each other’s rooms, which in The First Region could already be called a life-and-death friendship.

But upon seeing Veronica and Valerian in the room, her words ceased abruptly, and under the puzzled gazes of the two, Guan Lili cleared her throat and returned to a businesslike demeanor.

Guan Lili was not aware of the relationship between Veronica and Song Lan, but she was aware of the latter’s parents working in the Counter-Intelligence Department.

One should never be too trusting, and now that they were in a place like The First Region, if any inexplicable rumors with Song Lan emerged, Guan Lili seriously suspected that she might be killed by Lu Xiang.

"Director Guan, what’s the matter?"

"The final mentor has been confirmed. He claims to be an acquaintance of yours, so I thought I’d set up a time for the three mentors this season to meet privately."

According to the convention of "Master of Rescuers," each season would feature three main mentors.

Among them, the most senior "Raging Mentor," Sean Grant, was a regular guest.

"An acquaintance?"

However, Song Lan couldn’t remember having any acquaintances in The First Region.

"His name is Franken, a good friend of mine referred him to me."

Just half an hour ago, a friend who had been out of touch contacted her by phone, recommending Franken.

This friend also met her while working and participated in many activities of Kolo Film Industry as a makeup artist and mechanical advisor. According to the friend, Franken had undergone extensive cybernetic enhancements and appeared like Wild Bone with a "heavy metal style," well-suited to leaving a strong impression on the program.

Even in the year 2167, such people were hard to find.

Even better, this Franken appeared to have a deep connection with Song Lan.

Guan Lili hadn’t paid much attention to the programs of Kolo Film Industry for a long time, but this incident turned out to be an opportunity for her to return to the front line.

Compared to the endless political maneuverings in the office, she preferred to make more tangible programs.

"Alright,"

Song Lan nodded.

In fact, he had just met Mr. Franken this morning and discussed many academic issues.

While they were talking, Guan Lili suddenly noticed something on Song Lan’s desk.

Besides the materials prepared for the program, there was a very conspicuous object.

A small whip.

This was a narrow and dark room.

Song Lan was alone facing his two female students.

Guan Lili seemed to realize something and suddenly widened her eyes.

She quickly said, "I’m really sorry for the interruption, it seems I’ve come at a bad time."
