"Economists say that this move by the King of Victoria may hurt the diplomatic relations between Victoria and Yan and affect Yan's foreign trade exports to Victoria."
"Please respond actively. If you can provide clues, you will be rewarded with 100,000 Longmen coins!"
Bai Ye glanced at the TV. A dignified host was sitting in front of the studio, broadcasting the news with a serious face.
"Tsk, one hundred thousand just for providing clues? That's really generous. It seems that those officials in Longmen are getting anxious too."
Bai Ye took a bite of the fried egg and said vaguely, "I don't know what those officials are thinking. They didn't look for the princess on the day she disappeared, but they got excited more than ten days later. Don't you think this is crazy? It's been so long, the princess's body might have rotted!"
He complained casually, not noticing that Vina was eating much slower.
"It doesn't stink!"
"what?"
"Well, what I mean is that Her Royal Highness the Princess is also very pitiful!"
Vina put down the bowl and wiped the rice from the corner of her mouth. "Her Royal Highness...actually doesn't want to be a princess."
"Every day she has to learn all kinds of etiquette, learn the culture of the nobility, and learn how to deal with the company... But all this is useless. Not only her, but the entire royal family, and even Victoria, are controlled by the company."
"She is like a canary imprisoned in a cage, living like a programmed life, without freedom, without hope... If she really died in a corner, maybe it would be a good thing."
Listening to Vina's calm narration, Bai Ye said that he couldn't understand the thought processes of the big shots.
What a wonderful life this is!
No need to worry about rising pork prices, no need to worry about leaking ceilings, no need to worry about mindless scavengers eyeing their kidneys.
Maybe people of different classes pursue different things.
"Like now, if these people really cared about her, why did they wait more than ten days after she disappeared to start the search?"
"What do you mean?" Bai Ye became interested.
Vina sneered, "Because those people don't want to find her at all. You know, the so-called princess being attacked is just an excuse for the Victoria Royal Guards to enter Longmen."
"As long as the princess is not found, the Royal Guards will not leave. They are like a thorn stuck in the dragon gate... After a long time, this thorn will take root and sprout, and it will never be pulled out again."
Bai Ye understood that the princess was in danger at Longmen, and Longmen was indeed to blame. But could Victoria successfully station troops at Longmen based on this reason alone?
"A mere princess is certainly not enough..." Vina lowered her eyes, "but what if we add the company?"
"The company you are talking about is..."
"Swire Group." 9
Hearing this name, Bai Ye stood in awe.
Swire Group. (5)
A name that all Longmen people cannot avoid.
This group almost monopolizes all shopping malls and shops in Longmen, from large financial centers to small grocery stores, all are under their name.
What impressed Bai Ye the most was the piano in Taikoo Plaza that was worth 1.8 million Longmen coins.
The most terrifying thing is that Longmen’s business is just the tip of the iceberg of the Swire Group, which is actually a super multinational company entrenched in Victoria.
Not only Longmen, they have branches in every country in the world, even Sargon is no exception.
If it was this kind of behemoth that was causing trouble, it would be understandable that Longmen would accept the garrison.
It is impossible not to accept it. Even though Longmen is one of the economic centers on the Terra continent, if the Swire Group wants, Longmen's economy will come to a standstill overnight.
How long the suspension will last depends on the mood of the Swire Group.
This is the company.
Except for the inland areas of Yan and a few countries, all countries cannot escape the fate of being controlled by companies, and the governments are ridiculously weak in front of companies.
"So what you mean is that the princess knew she was going to be attacked before she came to Longmen?"
Vina nodded silently, her expression showing no sign of sadness or joy.
She knew very well that she was a pawn of the company from the beginning to the end. All these developments were within the company's calculations. The only accident might be that she was not chopped into pieces by the electromagnetic cutting grenade, but survived by chance.
If the people in the company knew she was still alive, they would definitely hire someone to kill her!
This is also the reason why Vina did not dare to confess her true identity to Bai Ye.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Bai Ye, but if he accidentally lets something slip, the two of them will face a devastating disaster.
Vina looked gloomy and in a bad mood. She only ate four bowls of rice.
"Eat slowly, I have to go out for something. If there is anything you want to eat, I will bring it back for you in the evening."
Hearing that Bai Ye was going out, Vina suddenly became nervous and asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Ye sighed.
"The Rat King invites me. I dare not refuse him."
Volume 13: Chapter 013 . Give you a chance
"Are you here? Get in the car."
Bai Ye got into the car, and Lao Bu stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the yard of the purchasing office.
"Why does the Rat King suddenly want to see me?"
Old Bu rolled his eyes and glared at Bai Ye through the rearview mirror, "It's Mr. Lin!"
"You little brat, you can't just call yourself the Rat King. Be more careful. If you offend Mr. Lin, I can't protect you!"
Bai Ye thought about it and felt that the Rat King was so old, so he should really respect the elderly.
"Okay, then what do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Lin?"
"Didn't you report an incident before? It was about those stupid scavengers who drugged people everywhere. Those people were caught by Mr. Lin. He probably asked you to come over to reward you."
"Fuck, you don't even know, those idiots all ran to Ursus, but guess what, after running so far, they were still caught by Mr. Lin. Fuck! It's so fucking satisfying!"
Old Bu's face was flushed. It was normal for him to have such a reaction because scavengers are something that everyone hates.
Who would have a good impression of someone who has his kidney removed?
"You know what, if you behave well later, maybe Mr. Lin will be happy and we can become colleagues. I knew you had a promising future the first time I saw you. Most people in the slums are idiots, living in a muddle every day. It's rare to find someone as smart as you!"
Old Bu kept talking, and Bai Ye didn't respond. He sat in the back seat and looked out the window. It must not be that simple. Did the Rat King call him over just to reward him?
Thinking about it, I know it’s impossible.
In fact, Bai Ye had already prepared to meet the Rat King. He knew that the scavenger's poisoning was a serious matter, and as an informant, he would definitely come into his sight.
But Bai Ye did it anyway.
First, if he hadn't exposed the incident, more people would have been harmed.
Secondly, reporting to the Rat King was Bai Ye's means of self-protection. The group of scavengers had already held a grudge against him, and he used the Rat King's knife to get rid of them.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Although the Rat King is the underground emperor, he is not a bad person. This conclusion was drawn by the old neighbors who have lived in the slums for decades.
It is said that before the Rat King ruled the slums, it was completely uninhabitable. If anyone dared to live here, scavengers and gangsters would rush over at night and dig out all their organs, leaving only an empty shell.
At that time, human lives in the slums were not worth as much as a bag of nutrient solution.
Later, the Rat King unified the slums, leaving enough space for the gangs to live and strictly restricting their behavior. Gradually, more and more people moved into the slums, and gradually it became what it is today.
Although it is still dangerous, it at least provides the infected with a place to stay and a way to survive.
The two soon arrived at the Rat King's residence. Bai Ye had never been here before. Compared to other places in the slums, the streets here were much cleaner and the houses looked much more sturdy.
There is no sewage flowing everywhere, no beggars wailing in the corners, and no roaming gangs.
After going through layers of inspection, Lao Bu drove the car slowly into the courtyard of a villa.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Bai Ye?" a man dressed as a waiter asked softly.
Bai Ye nodded.
"Mr. Lin is waiting for you in the study. Please follow me."
Bai Ye followed the waiter, passed through the green plants and fountains in the garden, and walked into the magnificent gate of the villa.
The two came to a door and the waiter knocked gently.
"Master, Mr. Bai Ye is here."
"Come in." An old voice came.
The waiter gently opened the door for Bai Ye. After Bai Ye entered, the door behind him closed quietly again.
The study was very large, and the walls had been transformed into bookshelves, which were piled high with books. There was a chair in front of the fireplace, and an old man wearing reading glasses was sitting on it, looking down at the book in his hands.
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Bai Ye still froze when he saw the Rat King.
Can this...really be considered a human being?
Although he knew that people like the Rat King were called "Ancestors" in Terra and had a high status, Bai Ye still found it a little hard to understand.
He is simply a giant rat that has become a spirit!
The Rat King did not speak, but quietly looked at the book in his hand. Bai Ye was not in a hurry, the Rat King was reading and he looked at the Rat King, anyway, he could stand.
After a long time, the Rat King raised his head from the book and rubbed his eyebrows.
"I'm sorry young man, I'm so engrossed in reading. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Obsessed with reading?
I believe you, you damn old man is very evil!
Bai Ye smiled slightly, "It's okay Mr. Lin, it didn't take long."
The Rat King put down the book in his hand and paced slowly in the room. "Young man, you discovered that the scavenger was poisoning, right?"
"Yes."
"Then can you tell me how you found out?"
Of course Bai Ye couldn't say that he found it through a system scan, so he just smiled modestly and said, "Because I'm a prosthetic doctor, I found it."
"Because you're a doctor? Hahaha, interesting answer!"
"Don't worry. I have already sent people to capture the scavengers... Bai Ye, your inference is completely correct. They did poison me, and their purpose was indeed to steal my kidney."
Facing the Rat King's praise, Bai Ye said nothing. He just stood there with his head lowered. He didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent.
"You did a great job on this matter and saved a lot of losses for the slum. I decided to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
To be honest, Bai Ye didn't want anything. He now had money to spend and a house to live in. His only wish might be to stay away from the Rat King and not have anything to do with him anymore.
The only thing he wanted now was high-end prosthetic parts, but he wasn't stupid enough to ask the Rat King for that kind of thing.
As long as I can return to my previous peaceful life.
"Mr. Lin, I don't want anything."
"Nothing you want? Well, how about this, since you are a prosthetics doctor, why don't you work for me?"
Bai Ye still refused, "Mr. Lin, I am not very knowledgeable and I am afraid I will fail to live up to your trust."
The Rat King thought about it again, then he put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room, his skinny paws rubbing back and forth on the carpet, making a rustling sound.

∶℃㈧㈤㈦㈥≥_㈥㈢㈣㈣_㈡ Seeing that the other party seemed a little embarrassed, Bai Ye said again: "Mr. Lin, if possible, I want money."
If he had to order something, Bai Ye would choose money. It was easy to transfer money, without any worries, and it would not cause any subsequent troubles.
Even though he is not short of money now.
"money?"
Bai Ye nodded.
The Rat King laughed and put his hands behind his back leisurely.
"Haha, but you are not someone who is short of money. Didn't you see Inspector Chen from the Guard Bureau for medical treatment some time ago? It's 100,000 yuan, so you shouldn't spend it all so quickly, right?"
Volume 14: Chapter 014 . Not as Good as a Rat
When Bai Ye heard what the Rat King said, his expression changed.
How could that be? I clearly checked and there should be no one monitoring me!
