Chapter 89

As the ferry gradually approached the shore, Lin Yifan put on the mask with the voice changer.

Zhou Xin, dressed in a uniform, had disheveled hair and a haggard look. When he stepped off the ferry, he lifted his head and saw the familiar mask.

Snapping his fingers, Lin Yifan pointed at Zhou Xin and said, "Take him to the special cell that was just renovated today."

"Got it!"

Hiroshi, wearing a two-dimensional anime headgear and a prison guard uniform, looked particularly comical with his chubby and round appearance.

Zhou Xin snorted coldly, slightly struggling free from Hiroshi, and said, "Let go, I can walk myself."

"Quite brave, aren't you?"

At this moment, Zhou Xin leaned in, staring at Lin Yifan with handcuffs and leg irons, and said coldly, "I know who you are."

Lin Yifan's eyes widened, and the face under the mask showed a slight shock, but he quickly calmed down.

The connection between the two events was too obvious; Zhou Xin couldn't have guessed wrong. He must have already associated the planner of this incident when he was captured.

"So what?" Lin Yifan gave up on hiding and took off the mask.

"Heh, you're good, you're really good." Zhou Xin kept sneering, staring at Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan just watched, waiting for Zhou Xin to finish his sneering. When Zhou Xin finally stopped, Lin Yifan slowly said, "Done laughing?"

"You..." Zhou Xin looked flustered. Lin Yifan's attitude was like a dead pig not fearing boiling water, with a thick skin thicker than the southern city wall.

Lin Yifan pointed to the prison behind him, where there was a special VIP suite separate from the other cells, specifically designed for Zhou Xin.

Pushed by Hiroshi, Zhou Xin stumbled forward a few steps, turned back, and sneered, "Even though I'm captured, I've already placed your identity information in the cycle world before losing my rule ability. When the arbitrator's divisional officer enters the cycle, your identity will be exposed to the arbitrator's people. Then... heh heh."

Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes, "That suits me just fine. I was planning to bring him back."

"Ha ha ha, capture? Do you know what the cycle world for promotion to officer is? I chose it! Ha ha ha, of course, it's advantageous for the arbitrator's group. You'll only be on the opposing side when you enter!"

Zhou Xin laughed maniacally, making Lin Yifan impatient.

With a tearing sound, Lin Yifan took out some tape and wrapped it around Zhou Xin's mouth several times, silencing his foul mouth.

After securing it, Lin Yifan stared at Zhou Xin being dragged away, his face gradually darkening.

Zhou Xin can't be left alive.

But the prison doesn't have the death penalty; at most, he can be permanently incarcerated.

At this moment, Saya walked over and nudged Lin Yifan, "You seem pretty upset?"

"Not really, just thinking of a way to make him permanently shut up."

Saya's eyes lit up, and she leaned in to whisper something in Lin Yifan's ear.

Lin Yifan, who was still a bit annoyed, suddenly looked enlightened.

"Saya! That's a great idea!" Excited, Lin Yifan picked up the petite Saya and lifted her high above his head.

Though almost an adult, Saya felt both embarrassed and angry, but also a bit happy inside.

"Cut it out, idiot! Let me go, I... I'm not a kid anymore." Saya struggled to escape Lin Yifan's grasp, blushing as she straightened her disheveled prison guard uniform.

Since she was an "administrative staff," she didn't need to interact with the prisoners. Saya's prison guard uniform was more special, with a skirt.

Saya, feeling a bit shy, wondered if she had exposed herself, her face turning even redder.

Lin Yifan, who was laughing, suddenly heard his phone ring in his pocket.

Picking up the phone, he realized that besides Natalia, no one else would call him.

"Hello, what's up, my lord? Are you worried? Don't worry, Zhou Xin is staying in a luxury VIP suite, he won't be mistreated!" Lin Yifan exaggerated, but in reality, the VIP cell was no different from a public toilet.

Natalia on the other end of the line sounded a bit impatient, "I know you're good to the prisoners, enough! I'm not calling about that. The divisional officer wants to see me."

Hearing it wasn't about Zhou Xin, Lin Yifan seemed indifferent, "See him, he can't do anything to you."

"Also! He specifically asked for you to come along."

Lin Yifan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? In my role as the warden? Alright, I'll change into some clothes and a mask, and go see him."

"No! As Lin Yifan, not the warden! He wants to see the cycle participant Lin Yifan."

Hearing Natalia repeat it seriously several times, Lin Yifan put aside his carefree attitude, "Got it, I'll head over. Where?"

"Newborn Street, District 13, Queen Marin Restaurant."

Lin Yifan stroked his chin in thought. From Zhou Xin's words, the divisional officer probably didn't know that he was the warden and a pseudo-cycle participant.

But since he believed Lin Yifan and Natalia were connected, he needed to go and see. He was still in the Infinite City, and Lin Yifan didn't want his identity exposed to the entire cycle participant group.

"Saya, follow the plan you just mentioned. I have something to take care of."

Saya, still blushing, was taken aback, "Going out again? What about lunch?"

"Not coming, I'll eat outside. Tell Sazuko and the others that I'm really, really busy. Be good, don't throw a tantrum, and follow the plan." Lin Yifan placed his large hand on Saya's head and gently stroked it.

Saya, pouting, reluctantly nodded, "Got it, and don't treat me like a kid!"

After giving the instructions, Lin Yifan hurriedly walked to the office building and changed back into his home in the Infinite City from the maid leader's room.

He changed out of the conspicuous uniform into ordinary casual clothes, put on some slippers, and rode his carbon-iron motorcycle. Looking at the navigation map, he saw that the Queen Marin Restaurant was quite close.

"Huh? The owner is a cycle participant?"

Lin Yifan glanced at the restaurant's introduction, surprised to see it was a city-wide chain.

But Lin Yifan didn't pay much attention. To be able to open a chain in all districts of the Infinite City, that person must be extraordinary, not someone he could easily meet.

"A cycle participant in the business profession? First time seeing one."

Lin Yifan muttered to himself as he rode his motorcycle.

Just as he entered Newborn Street, Lin Yifan saw a row of luxury cars parked outside a restaurant, including a wealthy lady's demon supercar.

Dressed in casual clothes and wearing slippers, Lin Yifan's shabby appearance made him stand out in this place.

The two waiters at the door immediately stopped Lin Yifan.

But Lin Yifan casually took out his phone, showing his ID to the waiters.

"Mr. Lin, please! The prosecutor is in room 01."

Walking into the restaurant with a carefree attitude, Lin Yifan glanced at the cycle participants inside and swaggered into the private room.

At that moment, a silver-haired girl in the corner put down her knife and fork, looking at Lin Yifan, who had entered so casually, with confusion.

"Isn't that the crazy newbie?"
