I am Lapland’s rat!

It wasn't until the sun's rays shone from the window, illuminating the room that it became bright, that Wu Xian slowly woke up and stretched a little.

Drop drop, drop drop.

Drop drop, drop drop.

Wu Xian soon realized that the communicator placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa was making a sound. It was someone dialing Lapland's communication.

Wu Xian jumped onto the coffee table and when he raised his head, he found that the expressionless Lapland had already arrived in front of him.

The white-haired Luper girl had already put on sportswear for going out, and she had obviously gone out for a while.

"Lapland didn't lie to Shushu that he didn't sleep last night. Let me go to sleep first." Wu Xian shook his beard.

Lapland didn't say anything, just sat down on the sofa and answered the call on the speakerphone: "Hello."

What came from the communicator was Kristen's voice: "Lapland."

The voice of the General Manager of Rheinland Life was finally not so happy. It sounded like her mood was not very good, but she was still relatively stable:

"Did the crossbowman you captured say anything?"

"No." Lapland replied simply.

The white-haired Luper girl leaned back on the sofa and asked, "I guess there are no clues about the thief who stole the spell unit, right?"

"...Yes." Kristen paused and sighed, and her slightly distorted voice came from the intercity communication:

"This batch of surgical units was stolen, which forced the Bionics Department to halt the many projects currently being promoted at the same time."

"Furthermore, if the guy who stole these surgical units is a technology company, as we have speculated before, many unregistered patents and results that remain on paper are at risk of being run away."

Wu Xian could also hear from the side that Kristen was very troubled by the loss of these magic units.

Although she spoke calmly, Wu Xian could hear a bit of gnashing of teeth.

But Kristen didn't even finish her sentence: "One of Rheinland Life's current largest net profit orders is Bionics' bionic prostheses. Assuming that these surgical units are used by the other party to manufacture the same products as ours, whether it is for bionics It would have a considerable negative impact on Coe's reputation and income."

"..."

After talking about the importance of these surgical units, Kristen was silent for a while.

She believed her subtext was understood by Lapland.

But she still sighed:

"...I'm sorry, I didn't expect the problem would be on our side."

Listening to Kristen's apology, Lapland leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "It seems that it is also our responsibility to recover these surgical units for Rheinland Life."

"Do you want me to go back to Tremont?"

Wu Xian looked at Lapland, and he found that Lapland's words were completely sarcastic.

really.

Kristen’s voice continued to come from the communicator:

"The shareholders don't want you to return to Tremont City. In their view, it is more important to ensure the smooth operation of the achievement exhibition when the operation unit has been lost. They hope that those who remain in Tremont can try Cooperate with the police in the search, and you must ensure that the second achievement exhibition ends smoothly."

"..."

Wu Xian shook his beard.

He got it.

After the surgery unit was stolen, Kristen had a conflict with the major shareholder.

The masterminds behind the scenes finally revealed their ambitions, and they still wanted to put Rhine Life in trouble.

So now shareholders hope to use the influence of the second results exhibition to steadily break through their next conspiracy.

But what was stolen was Seria's belongings. Kristen didn't want Seria's department to be targeted in this way, so she called Lapland for help this time.

“…But there are a lot of other issues.”

Wu Xian thought about other clues for a moment, and felt his head was spinning.

The theft of the surgery unit, the Saint-Sophie City Achievements Exhibition, and many unresolved matters from the last Achievements Exhibition are all entangled together. This matter is very confusing, and not only three parties are scheming in it!

And he was just a rat, he couldn't think so clearly.

The point is, things have now come to a head.

As the only person on Rhine Life's side who can respond to dangerous situations, Lapland must make a decision!

It is to return to Tremont first to solve the theft case;

It is better to stay in Saint-Sophie City to prevent accidents;

Or should we consider both?

"...Kristen." The white-haired girl in front of her was silent for a while and said, "Let me think about it."

Wu Xian blinked and looked at Lapland, who was rarely unhappy.

An idea suddenly came to his mind.

Once the thoughts come together they are unstoppable.

Wu Xian suddenly jumped on the sofa, then patted Lapland's thigh with his paw, asking Lapland to look at him.

"Lapland! Let me, Shushu, go back to Tremont instead of you!"

Wu Xian looked up at Lapland and conveyed his wishes to her.

"Zhushu, I am very good at solving crimes!"

Chapter 178 Never Escaped

"..."

Lapland's eyes blinked slightly.

She had obviously understood what Wu Xian meant, but at this time, the white-haired Luper girl did not make any immediate performance.

This made Wu Xian a little confused.

After a while, Kristen's voice came from the communicator:

"...I'm sorry. Please."

Communication hangs up.

……

Lapland put the communicator aside, then looked at Wu Xian and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Xiao Yin, do you want to go back to Tremont on my behalf to recover those magic units?"

Wu Xian was a little confused about Lapland's attitude.

She shouldn't distrust him, right?

Wu Xian shook his tail.

Then, the corners of Lapland's mouth raised slightly.

The girl lay back a little and leaned on the soft fabric sofa behind her.

Then, she actually sighed softly.

"Little Silver."

Wu Xian looked at Lapland, and there was a strange confusion on her face. Wu Xian originally thought that this kind of confusion would not appear on Lapland's face at this time.

After all, Lapland has experienced many complicated situations in Syracuse. Even if the enemy in front of him is stronger, it should not have reached the limit of the wisdom of the heir to the Saluzzo family, right?

"...Is Lapland in a bad mood?"

But why now?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Lapland's state has not been right since last night.

Wu Xian thought for a while, put his paw on the back of Lapland's drooping hand, and looked into Lapland's eyes.

Lapland's eyes were calm. She turned her head and looked at Wu Xian, and then said:

"...Xiao Yin, yes, I feel a little confused."

Wu Xian blinked, and Lapland confirmed his guess.

"Did something happen while I was sleeping?"

I saw the corners of Lapland's mouth tightening slightly, and she said:

"I just found...that everyone trusted me."

"In the early hours of the morning, I went to deal with the crossbowman you captured. Gastlin and the others who stayed at the police station already knew about Tremon."

"But they didn't take the initiative to ask for help. They were just asking me what to do, hoping that I could give them a firm instruction."

"Serea and Mulseth also called me one after another. They believe that as long as I stay in Saint-Sophie City, the exhibition will be as brilliant as the last time;"

"The other wants me to go back to Tremont and find the culprit who stole the spell unit within a few days."

"Texas called me in the middle of the night to ask for my opinion."

"Of course, there's also Kristen just now."

Lapland's tone was very calm, she was just stating this fact:

She is such a natural leader, and she has gained the trust of everyone around her from an unknown age.

However, Lapland was not happy about this. Instead, he felt depressed and confused.

……

why?

Wu Xian didn't have an answer for this.

As a senior chef, Wu Xian had already understood something when Laplande finished his speech:

"... Lapland doesn't feel that she can't escape the influence of Syracuse on herself now, right?"

This was the source of all Lapland's pain. Wu Xian thought about this for a while and found that it was really possible.

In fact, when he was halfway through Lapland's words, he suddenly remembered the day after the attack on the Achievements Exhibition, the day when Lapland and Ceria had a conversation in the dusk——

When the lanterns first came on, Lapland said to him:

"Have I left Syracuse now?"

At that time, Wu Xian understood this sentence to mean that in Lapland's view, not only Syracuse, but also the conflicts in Colombia were composed of interests and violence, and she was disappointed with Colombia.

However, it now seems that there is a deeper meaning in Lapland's words.

He recalled his experience in Colombia with Lapland from the beginning:

"Zhushu, I remember that during the ball incident, Lapland made the decision to kill Swanov. At that time, she realized that even if she came to a new country, she should not suppress her nature. She had to do it What you want to do.”

"So after Swanov died, Lapland began to act in his own way without any scruples. The fact that the employees of Silver Wolf Security were trained into this state is the best proof."

"...However, acting in his own way means that Lapland cannot escape the shadow of Syracuse. Because Lapland's personality, behavior patterns, knowledge and abilities are all in Syracuse. Made up in the big quagmire.”

"When the exhibition was over, during that conversation, had Lapland actually realized this deeply?"

Wu Xian knew that on the day he came back from the Western Region, Lapland said she wanted to leave Syracuse at this time, which actually meant that she wanted to find a perfect ending.

She wanted to deny everything about Syracuse.

But she doesn't want to deny herself and become an indifferent "deserted" wolf.

——Lapland has always had such hope in his heart.

It was not until the successful conclusion of the achievement exhibition that the rebellious girl discovered:

Almost everything she knew about herself from the people she knew in Colombia was based on her origins, her abilities, and her way of doing things.

Her fighting skills came from Syracuse;

Her mode of rule came from Syracuse;

Even the Silver Wolf Security company itself was earned by her using Syracuse's methods!
