Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Alright, enough talk, let's go!"

The tall, thin employee frowned at that moment.

His colleague had been hostile towards Lin Yuan from the beginning, and he didn't want to get involved.

However, the group's whereabouts have now attracted the attention of many staff members in the development department, which is extremely detrimental to their work.

"Hmph, did you hear that? Hurry up and leave, or we'll have to hold you down, or things will get ugly."

The shorter employee, upon hearing his partner's words, immediately urged Lin Yuan to hurry up and get going.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan ignored the incessant chatter around him, and the group left cautiously.

......

After the internal audit team left, the employees who had been whispering suddenly became much louder.

"Did you see Lin Yuan just give that guy a thumbs-up? Forget what he did, that was actually pretty cool."

"That's what one of the female employees said."

"Hehe, you're just swooning over someone because they're handsome, huh? Let me tell you, none of those taken away by the internal audit team ever come back."

A colleague chuckled and said.

"Sigh, what a pity." The female employee shook her head after hearing this.

Some people also noticed the target Lin Yuan was targeting.

"That's the Earthly Rank Commissioner, right? I heard he's... "

"Sigh, let's talk about some things privately. In my opinion, there's something fishy going on here."

"Please explain in detail, brother."

The discussion was lively, with faint sounds of "internal struggle" and "nepotism" emanating from the air, occasionally eliciting gasps and shouts.

Upon seeing this scene, the Earthly Elementalist in the distance turned even more grim.

"Zhongyi, are you alright?"

A woman in a company uniform approached him with a worried expression; she was an assistant he had privately recruited.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you struggle!"

Without saying much, Di Yuanzhong turned and left with a sinister glint in his eyes, then gestured for his assistant to follow.

Even though he was confident of victory, he was still very angry.

......

The elevator doors opened again.

Looking at the unfamiliar scene before him, Lin Yuan knew that this was a special floor of the internal audit department.

From the moment you enter the corridor, the atmosphere becomes oppressive.

Under the stark white light, Lin Yuan encountered several fully armed patrol teams.

The entire floor is surrounded by various electronic devices and densely packed guard posts, making it look like a heavily guarded prison.

The group arrived at an unusually simple-looking iron gate. But the chilling aura emanating from within told them that this was no place of peace.

"Go in!"

Seeing Lin Yuan stop in front of the door, the guard behind him suddenly shoved Lin Yuan in the back.

But to his surprise, Lin Yuan remained standing still under this force, without even the slightest sway.

The guard, however, lost his balance due to the rebounding force and was forced to take two steps back.

"you...."

The guard was somewhat annoyed and was about to shout. But Lin Yuan turned his head and looked at him with calm eyes.

"Don't be complacent when you're being used as a pawn. Think carefully about where you should be."

Seeing Lin Yuan's calm expression, the guard felt a chill and his attitude subtly changed as his eyes flickered.

"Alright, now that we're here, stop with the threats. Would we have brought you here if we didn't have evidence?"

The short man sneered, but Lin Yuan ignored his reaction and walked straight into the open door in front of him.

......

It was a pitch-black room, except for the central light that illuminated the tables and chairs; the rest of the room was shrouded in darkness.

At the other party's prompting, Lin Yuan sat down to one side.

One of them tried to unlock the shackles on Lin Yuan's chair to restrain him, but the taller one hesitated for a moment and then waved his hand.

The two internal audit team members placed their items on the table one by one, then pulled out chairs and sat down opposite Lin Yuan.

As the door behind them slammed shut, two guards stood on either side of it, sealing it off and preventing anyone from entering.

This place suddenly became an isolated island cut off from the outside world.

"Then let's begin."

The tall, thin man spoke first.

As soon as he finished speaking, two huge spotlights shone down from the ceiling, enveloping the entire tabletop and Lin Yuan's figure.

Stimulated by the bright light, Lin Yuan squinted. When he opened his eyes again, the two figures opposite him had become indistinct, just two backlit black shadows.

"Lin Yuan, you must answer every question we ask from now on carefully. Any concealment or omission of information will affect the outcome of the matter."

A voice, seemingly coming from afar, rang in Lin Yuan's ears, the overlapping sounds stimulating his mind.

"Hmph, so there's this trick to it."

Lin Yuan sneered inwardly. This was clearly not a normal interrogation; the other party had already started to resort to underhanded tactics.

These tricks might be intimidating to ordinary people, but they had little effect on Lin Yuan.

At this moment, both his spirit and mind have been greatly enhanced under the protection of [Preservation], so this little trick has no effect on him at all.

“I’m saying, this doesn’t sound like you’re trying to find out what’s going on; it sounds more like a private interrogation.”

Lin Yuan spoke coldly, noticing that the figures of the two people opposite him shifted slightly.

"Don't try to argue with me, Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan's cold laughter rang out in the room, but was abruptly interrupted by a voice.

"This inquiry was conducted with the approval of the head of the internal audit team and the deputy director of the market development department. The entire process was recorded, and every word you say will be considered valid evidence."

A cold, emotionless voice boomed in his ear, continuously assaulting Lin Yuan's senses.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan knew that the other party was prepared.

He then crossed his arms, leaned back against the chair, and looked at the other person with a calm expression.

A moment of silent silence fell over the room.

"Your name?" After a long pause, the conversation continued.

"Lin Yuan."

"gender?"

"male."

"Your department?"

"Market Development Department, Tver Branch, Interstellar Peace Corporation"

"Job rank?"

"P24".

After a brief silence, the voice on the other end softened.

"It would have been better if you had cooperated like this earlier. We just want to understand the situation. With a promising talent like you, we are willing to believe in your innocence. As long as you answer the questions properly, the problem can always be solved."

"Tch, playing the good cop or the bad cop, it's all the same old routine."

Lin Yuan sneered inwardly, staring silently at the dark figure opposite him.

Seeing Lin Yuan remain silent, the interrogator felt that Lin Yuan had become drowsy under the influence of the interrogation room environment. The time was ripe, so he continued to press on while the iron was hot.

"Tell the truth about why you violated company regulations during this market expansion!"

"No."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Why did you collude with external forces to steal and damage company assets, causing huge losses to company resources!"

"Nonsense."

Lin Yuan interrupted.

"Don't try to pin a label on me. If there are any accusations, produce the evidence."

"Evidence, huh? Still clinging to wishful thinking? Fine, then I'll show you."

A pair of hands emerged from the darkness and opened the tablet on the table.

As a beam of light illuminated the screen, various data and information began to appear.

"The relevant technical personnel have collected various logs and project information from your fleet in accordance with regulations, which clearly show that you took the initiative to take over all command work after the fleet was attacked."

"It's nothing. As the highest-ranking employee on the ship, I have a responsibility to fulfill my duties."

"Oh? Since you admit that you are in command of the ship, how do you explain the series of violations in the orders, such as the unauthorized abandonment of the company's important collection resources?"

The other person's voice became aggressive.

"If you look at the relevant logs, you will know that when we were under attack, in order to protect ourselves, we had no choice but to sacrifice usable mass and increase our warp speed. This action was in accordance with the company's emergency avoidance regulations."

Lin Yuan answered clearly.

"Heh, how can you prove that the situation met the company's definition of an extremely dangerous situation?"

"If you are fortunate enough to encounter the antimatter legion in the future, you can think about this question carefully."
