I am Lapland’s rat!

What's more, Lapland may have deliberately concealed it.

Wu Xian remembered that people had speculated for a long time whether Lapland was so eager to develop its family and whether its next plan was to fight against the Camorra.

And this morning, even Duccio and Alf could not help but think in that direction.

but……

Wu Xian raised his head and found that the villa where he and Lapland lived was close at hand.

In front of the door is an untended garden full of grass. Under the dark sky, yellow light shines out of the villa's windows.

A car parked on the side of the road.

When Wu Xian arrived at the garden side, the rear door of the car opened, and a gray-haired Luper girl wearing a heavy cotton coat got out of the car.

Texas' face was calm, but her eyes were full of anger and confusion. She quickly strode from the roadside into the garden, splashing as she stepped through the standing water.

She ran to the door, took out the key from her pocket, and inserted it several times before she successfully inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door of the villa. During this period, she didn't even notice Wu Xian following her.

"—Lapland!"

Texas shouted loudly and angrily as he opened the door.

"Ah, Texas, welcome home."

Lapland's lazy and playful voice came from the door.

Wu Xian got in through the small door opened for him under the main door and stood on the carpet at the door. Only then did Texas at the door notice Wu Xian who was a little wet.

Wu Xian looked into the living room. Under the bright yellow light, Lapland was not the only one in the living room.

There are two other people sitting on the couch in the living room, and Wu Xian also knows these two people——

They are Ciro's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ians Sr.

At this time, the Ians turned their attention to Texas at the door, obviously a little surprised by Texas who suddenly burst into the door and yelled;

Lapland was sitting on the sofa on the side of the couch, with his legs crossed and a decent smile on his face.

At this time, Lapland also noticed Wu Xian at Texas' feet. Her eyes were three-pointed with joy, and then she shifted her gaze to the Ians and his wife aside and said:

"Sir, Madam, thank you very much for today. I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you to dinner another day?"

"Of course, if Miss Lapland is free anytime, just ask my boy to let me know."

Old Ians turned his eyes back and laughed. It wasn't until he was pinched quietly by Mrs. Ians next to him that he restrained his behavior.

Lapland stood up and made a polite gesture of seeing off the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Ians also stood up quickly. Old Ians stepped forward and shook hands with Lapland.

Afterwards, the old Ians and his wife said hello to Texas at the door and left with an umbrella.

The door was closed.

……

"So, my dear Texas," Lapland sat back down again, "Did you and Little Silver come back together?"

Wu Xian ran a few steps on the floor and reached Lapland's feet, then looked up at Texas at the door.

Texas' expression remained the same as when Wu Xian saw her for the first time today, angry and confused.

"Lapland, are you prepared? Is this your plan?" she said coldly.

"Xiao Yin, where have you been? Why are you all wet?" Lapland lowered his head and said to Wu Xian with a smile, "Don't jump on the sofa."

Wu Xian shook his beard.

Texas' voice rose an octave: "Lapland!"

"Yeah, okay, okay." Lapland raised his hands in a Gallic military salute and looked at Texas with a wry smile:

"Texas, did I do something to piss you off?"

Texas took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then his eyes and facial expression returned to as calm as lake water:

"Lapland, why did you order the elite members to bring the peripheral members together to attack Camorra?"

"Where did you get the information on Camorra's recent operations?"

"——As Saluzzo's legal heir, don't you know what kind of power Camorra has? Why did you suddenly send a message to Saluzzo when Camorra had clearly sent a signal of peaceful coexistence? Camorra takes action?"

Texas asked question after question calmly and quickly:

"In the East, West and South districts, we have too much territory that we have not digested and too many resources that have not been integrated. What is the point of attacking Camorra at this time?"

"You used the law of silence to fool me, but now I know that there is no reasonable explanation for your actions in the law of silence."

"Lapland, I want to know what you want to do."

Facing Texas' gaze, Lapland suddenly smiled.

This is because she didn't expect that her friend would care so much about Saluzzo's next development.

Lapland raised the corner of her mouth, glanced at Wu Xian, and then looked at Texas again.

Texas noticed that Lapland's eyes were very calm, and her gray pupils were like a gem whose color had faded.

she says:

"Texas, I'm leaving Syracuse."

……

Chapter 236 Texas is shocked!

Texas froze.

Lapland's words were like her sword rain, hitting Texas hard on the head, making her dizzy.

Lapland, she said she was leaving Syracuse?

Not "want" or "want", but "will"!

This means that Lapland has already made this decision, and it cannot be questioned or changed!

In Lapland's view, this is already the established future!

All the dissuasion, all the suggestions, all the opinions and all the resentment that Texas had prepared, disappeared without a trace in the face of huge incomprehension in Lapland's words.

In the end there is only one sentence left:

"……is that true?"

Texas would rather believe that he heard wrong.

She never thought that Lapland would say such words, and she never thought even once that Lapland would make the decision to abandon Saluzzo, even temporarily!

After all, according to Texas, Lapland should deeply love everything he created!

If she didn't love her subordinate Saluzzo deeply, why would she go to the headquarters from dawn to dusk every day and receive all kinds of people with a fake smile in the reception room?

If it wasn't for deep love, why would she treat her subordinates so carefully, whether they were cadres or lower-level backbones, she would treat them like friends?

If she wasn't deeply in love, why would she be so active in expanding Saluzzo's sphere of influence, recruiting new members, and consolidating revenue?

It's obvious that Lapland has already exceeded the task assigned to her by her father!

She can do nothing every day, just play or go shopping as she pleases!

But if Lapland loves everything he has created...

Why did she decide to leave now?

Texas couldn't understand.

Texas couldn't accept that.

Texas stood in the light and turned his attention to Lapland.

Lapland's eyes were sincere, and she answered Texas's question seriously: "My dear Texas, you heard me right. I want to leave Syracuse, and I'm already prepared for it. A very long time."

Texas was startled.

She recalled the meeting after rescuing Little Silver. She also remembered that Lapland gave Duccio and Alf many tasks in that meeting, and asked Little Silver to face the Destroyer directly.

At that time, Lapland did not say why she wanted to vigorously develop the family, nor why she wanted her father Alberto to come to Onnor.

Could this be Lapland's preparation for leaving Syracuse?

Lapland, who was sitting on the sofa, explained in a timely manner:

"After I leave, the Saluzzo of Onor will not disband. There are still many internal problems in Saluzzo now, but as long as my father is willing to take over, Saluzzo can be stable as the second largest family in the city. Onnor lives on.”

"This was both the reason why I wanted Alberto Saluzzo to come to Honol and it was also my gift to him."

Everything is connected.

Lapland has been planning a grand escape since the West End Rat Pack incident.

——Yes, Texas knows that Lapland definitely did not have the consent of her father for this operation, otherwise she would not have had to capture Oliver, provoke the Camorra, and anger the alpha wolf to make Al Beto descends on Onnor.

Lapland wanted to leave, but the biggest obstacle was Saluzzo, which she had developed by herself.

And as long as Alberto is successfully angered by his daughter and comes to Onnor in person, Lapland can get rid of everything in Saluzzo, travel lightly, and have a smooth journey.

Alberto, who cared about his family, saw a prosperous but troubled Saluzzo split, and it was impossible for him not to stay in Onnol and take over the stall left by Laplande.

If Texas thinks about it at this time, he can recall several serious loopholes in Saluzzo's operations.Like the members' overconfidence, these loopholes were only covered up by the family's growing facade.

Lapland deliberately did not deal with these problems, and even continued to accelerate the pace of development. All this was just to leave a big enough and tempting enough problem for Alberto!

This problem was even enough for him to forgive his daughter for temporarily leaving Syracuse!

Texas stood frozen in place, her throat moving.

but why?

In Texas' impression, Lapland was a rebellious girl who was frustrated by the constraints called "family" imposed on her by her elders.

Her nature is gentle and graceful.

After that moonlit conversation, Texas thought he could empathize with Lapland.

After all, Texas felt that all Lapland's troubles were just because he had no choice.

And Little Silver appeared here, which brought "change" to Lapland and helped Lapland greatly expand the family in a short period of time——

Not only has she fulfilled her elders' expectations for her, but she has also blazed her own path. Lapland should feel happy and satisfied at the moment.

"...Why do you want to leave Syracuse?"

Texas still asked this question.

She felt that based on their relationship, Lapland should give her a reasonable explanation.

And it would also help her understand Lapland better.

However, Lapland's answer only made Texas more confused:

"Because I'm tired of it. Texas, I'm tired of this place."

Lapland said honestly, sitting on the sofa.

She sighed:

"Texas, you may not understand yet. You have only been in Syracuse for more than four months, and you already fully understand the rules here - you have done a good job."

"But it's just the beginning. The mire just starts to grab you by the toes."

Texas stood there confused.She was silent for a long time, thinking for a long time, pacing around repeatedly, and finally couldn't help but said:

"——Can't you put it more simply?"

Lapland didn't answer her, Texas lowered her head and found that Wu Xian was patting her shoe uppers with his paws.

Wu Xian raised his head and looked at Texas: "I really don't blame Lapland for telling riddles this time."

Just this afternoon, Wu Xian had just experienced the feeling Lapland mentioned for the first time.

It is ineffable and indescribable.When you don't notice it, it will make you sink in comfort; but when you realize its existence, you will find that you have been covered in mud from unknown time.

Looking around, Syracuse is a huge quagmire.

Lapland has been immersed in this muddy water for 17 years since his birth.
