Did the world end today?

Chapter 56 Will You Believe It?

National Security Bureau.
The moment those six words came through the receiver, Lin Xu's expression changed drastically.

National Security Bureau!
National Security Bureau!

Holy crap, what the hell did I do?
Lin Xu believes that he has not done anything out of line from beginning to end.

Similarly, I did not spread any information that should not have been spread.

All information related to the apocalypse ends with me.

I was extremely cautious, but I still managed to attract the attention of the National Security Bureau.

So what's the reason?

There is only one possibility.

Material.

These two documents have attracted the attention of some people.

And this "certain people" is very likely related to Xu Jin!

Depend on!
What did that sentence say?

Every gift in our destiny comes with a price tag on it.

He leveraged Xu Jin's influence to obtain official resources, acquiring equipment and setting up the factory in the shortest possible time.

However, this also naturally attracted the attention of the authorities.

With just a little investigation, the authorities will find that they have completely unsubstantiated information.

The industrial production methods for both materials appeared out of thin air, without any traceable logical chain.

It's normal for them to ask me questions; if I didn't react at all, that would be suspicious.
They come, the security.

Lin Xu took a deep breath and spoke to Jiang Xingye, who was waiting quietly to the side, his eyes filled with deep concern:
"I have to go out for a while."

"Don't worry too much, it's nothing serious."

"Keep communicating with Bai Mo."

"We should keep her; we'll need her later."

"By the way, don't chat with her about anything else, let's help her sort out the rental issue first."

"it is good."

Jiang Xingye nodded. Just as Lin Xu was about to turn and leave, she suddenly grabbed his arm, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Are you OK?"

"Hey buddy, don't act like one of those 'sister-in-law' characters in TV dramas who'd send their boss to kill someone."

Lin Xu patted Jiang Xingye's hand, signaling her to let go, and continued:
"Don't worry, I should be able to come back for dinner tonight."

".be safe."

Jiang Xingye didn't say anything more. Lin Xu hummed in response and left.

After going downstairs, Lin Xu took a taxi straight to the Liuchao Road Police Station.

Sitting in the car, he kept reviewing everything he had done recently, while also planning his communication strategy after arriving at the National Security Bureau.

He absolutely did not intend to reveal everything at this point in time, after all, he did not have enough leverage.

At least, not to the extent that officials would be willing to give themselves enough discretionary power even when they know they have problems.

Therefore, how to communicate effectively and how to use reasonable methods to get them to reveal truthful but limited information in order to persuade them becomes especially important.

To fabricate a lie?
impossible.

Even if you're dealing with an ordinary police station, you can probably fool them by making up a lie.

But I have to face the National Security Bureau.

Their methods and their access to information are not something to be taken lightly!

There is only one way.

They refused to say a word.

As long as they ensure that their direction is correct and that it will not affect the overall situation or national interests, theoretically they will not be too demanding.

Give it a try.

The car stopped in front of the Liuchao Road Public Security Bureau. Lin Xu got out of the car and walked towards the gate. He was still thinking about where to go and who to find after he went in, but just as he got out of the car, a man with a buzz cut in plainclothes was already coming towards him.

"Mr. Lin Xu, please come with me."

Lin Xu wasn't too surprised.

They've already come to me; they must know all my information by now.

He followed without flinching, his heart pounding at almost 160 beats per minute, but his expression remained remarkably calm.

There's no way I'll admit defeat.

What a load of bull! The fate of humanity is in my hands. I'm the protagonist!

Lin Xu took a deep breath and followed the man up to the fourth floor, entering an office that looked quite ordinary.

Inside the office, there was surprisingly a wheelchair.

This was completely different from the "conversation" or even "interrogation" scene he had imagined! Lin Xu frowned and looked at the old man in the wheelchair.

He seemed very weak.

But his eyes remained sharp.

"sit down."

The old man noticed his expression and spoke with a smile:
"Lin Xu, please have a seat."

Lin Xu hesitated for a moment before sitting down in the chair in front of the old man.

The chairs were clearly carefully chosen; once seated, both parties could look each other in the eye and speak without difficulty.

"You are Xu Qianlin, Elder Xu?"

Lin Xu guessed the old man's identity, and the old man nodded, smiling slightly self-deprecatingly.

"Don't call me Old Xu, just call me Engineer Xu."

"I look like this not because I'm old, but because of cancer."

"There is still a fundamental difference between the two."

"You've worked hard."

Lin Xu didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere wasn't tense at all; instead, it carried the awkwardness typical of a younger person talking to an elder.

As if noticing his expression, Xu Qianlin across from him stopped his leisurely small talk and spoke directly:
"My time is running out, so let's get straight to the point."

"I started paying attention to you when you found Xu Jin."

“You provided him with industrial production process documents for two materials, M46X and PEEK-RTM, and you met with him and discussed cooperation.”

"To be honest, at first I thought you were just representing Sky Dome Technology and wanted to seek official endorsement through Xu Jin."

"But soon, after investigation by our colleagues in the Economic Crime Investigation Division, we discovered that things were not as we had expected."

"The reason you wanted to bring Xu into the group was not for the so-called 'endorsement'; you were actually using him as a cover."

“The stuff is yours, Sky Dome Technology is the platform, and Xu Jin is the means to rationalize the information source.”

"You tricked two forces into joining the game at the same time. Your purpose is obvious: to achieve rapid mass production of both materials."

"That's a very strange question."

"Let's not discuss where you got the technology for now—after all, even we intelligence comrades aren't omnipotent, and there will always be oversights."

"We'll only discuss one point."

"If you're capable enough to produce two sets of technology that are clearly ahead of our time, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Or rather, why use such a flawed method to carry out your plan?"

“There is only one answer.”

“You don’t have much time, or rather, you urgently need to bring this plan to fruition.”

"so."

"Can you tell me why?"

The words fell.

Lin Xu was speechless.

shit
You've said everything I wanted to say, so what else can I say?

At that moment, he deeply felt the power and terror of this state apparatus.

Let's stop talking about "facts".
