I am Lapland’s rat!

Perlo smiled and replied: "Actually, it's not that I don't like it. However, you are right. One day, I hope that people all over Terra will not be limited to this small land. They should and should look up to the stars like us. !”

……

Colson always remembered that he looked at the two people on the balcony and felt a wave of visceral nausea.

It was like some kind of sticky black worm crawled up his back. He felt the bitter taste of the red wine he just drank spread from his stomach to the base of his tongue. His head felt dizzy, and the sweet taste made him want to vomit.

Yes, disgusting.

The disgusting thing in front of him made him regret coming to the corridor. Coulson knew that he probably left in despair at that time. He crumpled the business card in his hand and threw it into the trash can next to him.

And this is the reason why Colson hates and even hates the company Rheinland Life.

Rheinlife made Coulson unhappy and made the successful professional manager feel queasy.

This was something that no one knew except Coulson. The two people who were talking selflessly on the balcony at that time did not notice a person coming and leaving at all.

The subsequent loss to Rheinland Life in the drug bidding for its flagship product, and the expansion of the beach umbrella market aimed at acquiring small and medium-sized scientific research companies, are all things that happened later.

……

Back to this morning.

The biggest difference between this orange-haired middle-aged film man and five years ago was that his beer belly was unstoppably highlighted.

Coulson has mixed negative emotions about RhineLife.

He had to prove that he was right, otherwise what would he have done in Colombia for so many years?

The sunlight outside the window is still dazzling.

In order to embezzle Rhine's life, Coulson made many preparations.

He didn't have time to stop Rhein-Life's first round of financing, so he focused all his means on Rhein-Life's second round of financing.

However, it was as if fate favored Rhine's life.

A few days before Rheinland Life was about to conduct its second round of financing, Silver Wolf Security came.

The security company's method directly broke Coulson's expectations. He originally thought that Rheinland Life would hire Black Steel to be responsible for the security of the exhibition venue, and he had already placed his own people inside Black Steel.

Coulson believed that regardless of whether RhineLife hired Black Steel, his plan was foolproof.

After all, there are no branches of other large security companies in Tremont City except Black Steel. With his black gloves, how can a small security company have the ability to truly maintain site security?

However, the reality was beyond his expectation.

Silver Wolf Security was lucky enough to catch the two members who went to explore the way. Then during the official exhibition, whether it was cluster tactics or dispersion tactics, Silver Wolf Security solved the troubles one by one extremely well. Even Coulson wanted to call the boss of Wolf Security "madman" for his tactical layout.

The exhibition of Rheinland Life's achievements was a success.

Gaining an ally through the achievements exhibition couldn't hide the fact that Coulson's plans were derailed.

He had to lie dormant for a long time before cooperating with Mosedi to attack east and west at the juncture of the second achievement exhibition, and captured the calcification surgery unit as planned.

but.

Obviously Coulson judged that Silver Wolf Security and Rhein Life Security no longer have enough manpower to solve this problem——

But unfortunately, the surgery unit was stolen so easily!

This is the key reason why Colson couldn't help but fall into depression for a moment!

"..."

Coulson took a deep breath.

The key to cheering him up was that he remembered the scene he saw five years ago.

"Rhine Life, you can prove to me that you are favored by luck. If not, you will be stepped on by me."

Colson took one last deep look at the traffic under the office building, then turned around, came to his desk, and picked up the communicator.

"Hume? Organize the information and prepare to meet the police after noon. Note that the surgical unit is a trial product independently developed by us, but it happens to be somewhat similar to the stolen surgical units from Rheinland Life."

"You still remember the information I prepared for you half a month ago? Just use that information to explain our research process."

……

At this point, Coulson paused.

"Uh-huh."

"Call the police, exaggerate our losses, and let the police investigate who sneaked into our laboratory. We must get information about that person. I will inform the police station. You can just call the police."

"Well, don't worry, let's get this done."

……

……

Time goes back to the present.

Wu Xian and Texas came to the Rheinland Life headquarters next to Tremont Institute of Technology.

Texas had already communicated with Ceria before arriving at the headquarters. When Wu Xian entered the company, Texas took him straight to the first conference room.

Wu Xian thought that the conference room would be the same as before, with only Kristen and Seria——

As a result, when Texas entered the conference room, there was some noisy conversation.

"You shouldn't bother investigating the theft case, but should leave this matter entirely to the police!"

"Ms. Saluzzo has already gone to the Achievements Exhibition. It will be no problem to have her there..."

"If something like this happens now, won't it affect the company's reputation?"

……

The muscles on Wu Xian's face twitched slightly.

After entering the conference room, he looked around and found that in this familiar bright space, there were several people sitting sparsely on the left and right sides of the long table.

It was the people sitting at the long table who were making the noise. At a glance, among them were John Charles, the second largest shareholder of Rhine Life, Kennedy William, the fourth largest shareholder, and Salvatore Ray, the third largest shareholder. Agent Edmund of Texas;

Kristen, the largest shareholder, is sitting on the main seat, holding her cheek with her hands and looking cold;

The fifth largest shareholder, Yajue, also appeared. This chubby duck happened to be... sitting on the conference table.

That's right.

The presence of Duck Jue undoubtedly diluted the serious atmosphere in the conference room. When Wu Xian saw Duck Jue, he saw the duck with a swaying neck waving its wings to him, as if to indicate that Wu Xian could sit next to him.

But Wu Xian was not in a hurry to get close to Duck Lord, because he noticed that Serea and Mulseth were standing on the left and right by the door.

"You are here." The elf girl Mulseth had a somewhat sad face.

They seemed to be waiting for Wu Xian and Texas. Ceria closed the door for Texas, then sighed softly and whispered:

"The police initially investigated Laboratory No. 42, but did not find any evidence. Now the pressure is on Rhine Life's side."

"...Shareholders are a little dissatisfied."

Chapter 198 Meeting again

Wu Xian blinked.

"Shareholders are not satisfied?"

It's not like Wu Xian didn't expect this.

After all, the reason why Lapland could not come back from Saint-Sophie City to deal with the theft case was because the shareholders hoped that Silver Wolf Security would retain its strength in the second achievement exhibition instead of dedicating itself to solving a conspiracy that may not necessarily lead to results.

Shareholders hope to overcome skill with force.Use righteousness to make wonders.

And now that the investigation in Laboratory 42 has not yielded any results, they certainly don't want Kristen to waste her strength here.

but……

The initial investigation of Laboratory 42 found no evidence at all?

How can this be?

Wu Xian looked around, and finally jumped onto the conference table at Ya Jue's signal, and then turned his attention to the other shareholders around the conference table.

"Zhushu, I brought that spell-casting unit back with my own hands."

Wu Xian had already checked it when he was in the sewer. There were indeed many calcified spell parts on the spell-casting unit, giving it a rough imitation feel.

He couldn't have stolen the wrong thing.

And can't this be decisive evidence to convict the beach umbrella?

In the bright conference room, the conversations of the shareholders around the table were paused due to the entrance of Texas and Wu Xian.

The noisy debate suddenly became quieter. When Wu Xian jumped on the table, Kristen, who was sitting in the main seat, also spoke:

"Miss Cellinina, please take a seat."

Texas nodded and greeted the shareholders with the minimum courtesy: "Good afternoon, everyone."

Then, she sat at the end of the conference table as usual, looking transparent.

Mulseth and Ceria also walked to the conference table and found a seat to sit down.

Now, except for Ya Jue and Wu Xian who were sitting on the table, everyone in the conference room was gathered around the rectangular conference table.

These people here are all people who know the current progress of the matter.

Wu Xian squatted down on the conference table, and then looked at Kristen.

But Kristen didn't speak at this time. Instead, the wealthy Perot businessman, Mr. John Charles, the second largest shareholder, spoke first:

"Miss Cellinina, since Ms. Saluzzo is not around, you will be the spokesperson for Silver Wolf Security."

The somewhat chubby middle-aged man looked at Texas and asked bluntly: "Are you hiding anything about the Beach Umbrella Laboratory 42?"

Other people's eyes were also looking at Texas at this time.

Wu Xian understood something immediately, and his heart sank.

He looked at Texas slightly nervously, but Texas was expressionless and said calmly:

"No. During the investigation of the theft of the surgery unit, Laboratory 42 is one of our suspects."

"The trial product of the spell-casting unit was discovered by the Silver Wolf security member who was monitoring there. He brought it back to me, and I handed it over to Ms. Ceria."

"The basis for all this judgment is that the operating unit is highly similar to the stolen operating unit. As for the damage and losses suffered by Laboratory 42, I don't know the reason."

After Texas finished speaking, everyone around the conference table was silent for a second because of thinking.

During this time, Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

You can always trust Texas on the spot.

At this time, Mr. Charles frowned slightly.

Later, he said: "But the problem now is that the beach umbrella has proven that the operating unit is not the imitation you imagined. To this end, they have provided the police with detailed experimental data from scratch."

"At the same time, because Silver Wolf Security is investigating Laboratory 42, Beach Umbrella requires the police to thoroughly investigate Rhine Life, the only suspect."

Charles looked toward Texas.

His original intention in asking the question just now was to let Texas introduce a scapegoat, give in to the beach umbrella, and push the matter to be resolved privately.

Subsequently, the investigation into the theft was discontinued.

After all, the beach umbrella was clearly prepared. Rheinland Life was already weak in this matter, and there would be no benefit in tit-for-tat with the beach umbrella.

Charles believed Texas would not fail to understand what he meant.

However, Texas still pushed back and rejected him.

Of course, he didn't know that it was impossible for Texas to tell how Silver Wolf security broke through the laboratory's security.

After hearing what Charles said, Wu Xian finally understood what the problem was:

"...No way, did you expect that even the magic unit of the beach umbrella would be stolen?!"

Wu Xian finally understood why the magic unit he stole did not achieve the final result.

This is the answer to Wu Xian’s previous doubt!

It turned out to be the case.

From this point of view, Wu Xian's sneaking back to the magic unit did not actually give Rhine Life any advantage.
