Faced with this sudden situation, Bai Lang felt at a loss for a moment, but out of politeness, she kept nodding until everyone left. She looked at Miss Lin in confusion, her bewildered eyes asking what had happened.
Lin Yuxia couldn't help laughing at Bai Lang's appearance, and said with a smile: "They are the top leaders of the underground forces, and they are the few people who know that you solved Scar Eyes. They all owe you a big favor."
"Oh, so it wasn't actually me." Bai Lang scratched his head embarrassedly. The actual situation should be that she was almost killed by Scareye, and the person who seriously injured Scareye was Bai Jin, and the person who killed Scareye was Rat King.
"It doesn't matter who it is. The Rat King thinks you are the biggest contributor. His distribution is always fair. I came to you to find out what kind of compensation you need."
"No need." White Wolf shook his head, "The Rat King and I have another agreement, and the reward is what we agreed on."
"That's his business. Now I want to ask you what compensation you need. It's me." Lin Yuxia emphasized.
Bai Lang was a little confused. Can it still be calculated like this? But she really couldn't accept Miss Lin's reward. The other party had never asked her to entrust any tasks. Instead, she helped her a lot. First, it was the company's business, then she saved her life, and at the critical moment last night, she sent an ambulance to pick up people with just one phone call.
She already felt guilty for not being able to repay, so how could she ask for any more compensation? Thinking of this, Bai Lang shook his head repeatedly: "No, I don't want it. Miss Lin has helped me so much, how can I have the face to ask for anything."
"The biggest contributor got nothing, and I will be gossiped about." Lin Yuxia's only words left Bai Lang at a loss for words.
"Then, what should we do?"
"It's very simple." Lin Yuxia said. She was a person who kept her word and was determined to get this done. "You haven't decided on the address of your company yet, right?"
"Confirmed, it's near Rhodes Island." White Wolf said quickly. She was afraid that the other party would ask for help in this matter, and she would owe him a big favor.
"Rhode Island is a bit far. We still need an office in Longmen, right? Scar-Eye's property will be auctioned off in a few days." Lin Yuxia said as she took out a map of Longmen Center from the drawer and spread it on the table. She raised her eyebrows at White Wolf and said, "Pick one of the ones marked in red."
There are more than a dozen red crosses of varying sizes on the map, five of which are in the center of the dragon gate, and the others are scattered around the outer ring of the dragon gate.
"Can I not be picky?" White Wolf asked carefully.
"No, the most important thing for the Mafia is to distinguish between rewards and punishments." Lin Yuxia's face turned cold and she said firmly. She secretly glanced at Bai Lang and made sure that she knew his character. She suddenly spoke rapidly, "I guess you don't know how to choose, so just entrust it to me. You just need to participate in the judicial auction in three days and bid for the first item. Okay, that's it. You have already agreed, so don't mention it again. How is your injury?"
Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, then realized that Miss Lin was asking about her injuries again, and nodded hurriedly: "It's okay, the doctors in your hospital are very good."
"That's good. By the way, the Rat King wants to treat you to a meal at noon. Please tell him that I am not feeling well and cannot go. It will probably take, um, about a week to get better."
Even a blockhead should be able to guess the relationship between the Rat King and Miss Lin by now. White Wolf, as a man with an extremely clever mind, will certainly not lag behind.
Miss Lin should be the granddaughter of the Rat King, she thought secretly, there is no need to point out such things, those who understand will naturally understand.
She nodded to Lin Yuxia: "I understand, Miss Lin, are you sure it will be a week?"
"Well, it seems a bit short." Lin Yuxia touched her chin and thought for a while, then said happily, "Then let's say one month!"
"Okay." Bai Lang secretly clicked her tongue in her heart. It must be very distressing for the Rat King to have such a granddaughter. She suddenly thought of something else.
"Ms. Lin, I forgot your gloves. They are still in my room. Do you want me to get them for you now?"
"So it's with you. I thought I lost it." Lin Yuxia glanced at Bai Lang's hand and said, "Give me your hand."
"Oh." White Wolf extended his right hand.
Lin Yuxia held Bai Lang's wrist with one hand, and put her right hand on the back of Bai Lang's hand. She compared them carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not much different. You can keep it for yourself. I've asked someone to make a new one."
"Ms. Lin, those gloves are very valuable. If you do this, I..."
"Okay, okay." Lin Yuxia shook Bai Lang's hand, then smiled and pushed Bai Lang out the door. "It's time for lunch. The Rat King's car has probably been waiting at the door for a long time. Go quickly. I have things to do too."
She gently pushed the white wolf out, said goodbye, closed the door, hummed a light tune, and sat back at the conference table. She briefly glanced at the map on the table, picked up the charcoal pencil, and drew a circle on the scar-eye industry in the central area of Longmen, which was closest to the hospital.
Volume 3: Chapter 68: Symbiosis
Bai Lang got on the reception car parked in front of the hospital. She had been marveling all the way about how there could be such a good person like Miss Lin in the world. So much so that when the old man suddenly asked her about Lin Yuxia at the Rat King's dinner table, she started talking all of a sudden.
There is no doubt that at this moment, Bai Lang was in a state of gratitude and thanksgiving to Miss Lin, so although her words sounded sincere, they were undeniably highly subjective.
Anyone with a keen eye could find loopholes in White Wolf's words and respond with a knowing smile, but the strange thing is that the old Rat King actually agreed with them.
It was not the case that he just listened to it. The Rat King, or Mr. Lin, believed that everything White Wolf said made sense. He especially appreciated his keen eye for innovation and finding other strengths in his daughter.
For example, it was the first time he knew that his daughter could be associated with the word "considerate". When Bai Lang seriously said that Miss Lin prepared suitable clothes for her, the Rat King even felt a strange sense of jealousy towards the girl in front of him. But he quickly adjusted his mentality and then felt that it should be so. His daughter was a collection of all the advantages. These strengths were not surprising at all. He could only blame his old eyes for not noticing them before.
This was a very pleasant discussion before dinner. Perhaps they were having too much fun talking to each other, and White Wolf suddenly couldn't bear to tell the Rat King that Miss Lin would not come today. But some things could not be hidden, and after the dishes were served, she finally plucked up the courage to tell him what Miss Lin meant.
Before the White Wolf could speak, the Rat King saw through what she was about to say: "Did Yuxia say that she was sick and couldn't come?"
"Well, how did you know that?"
"She's always like this." The old man sighed, picked up the food with chopsticks in his right hand, and signaled to Bai Lang not to be polite and to eat directly.
"It's my fault too. I had agreed to deal with Scar Eyes together with her, but in the end..."
"I think that Yuxia is capable and she's not a child. We can trust her with some things." Bai Lang said while eating a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots in front of him.
"I understand all of this." The Rat King put down his chopsticks, his eyes full of helplessness and melancholy, completely different from his previous shrewd appearance. "Some things are not taken for granted. You can see them clearly, but you just can't do them. Until a day ago, I was determined to let Yuxia participate, but when the action was about to start, I personally informed her that the specific time was scheduled for four in the morning."
Bai Lang remembered that when she called Miss Lin at four o'clock in the morning, the other party sounded impatient as if she was going to do something big. Now she understood the reason.
She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head, working tirelessly to destroy the tender bamboo shoots.
"Look, I didn't know I would suddenly make such a decision." The Rat King continued with emotion, "I knew Yuxia would be angry about this, but it still happened. Alas, this is something that only people with daughters understand, you young people."
Bai Lang ate half of the stir-fried bamboo shoots and wanted to change her taste. Based on the principle of proximity, she aimed at the boiled fish in front of her. While picking up a piece of white and tender fish meat, she responded, "I understand, Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean."
She was secretly surprised. She didn't expect it to be her daughter! Fortunately, she didn't let it slip before.
The Rat King glared and blew his beard. He wanted to say: You know nothing. But the white wolf was his daughter's friend. If he ran over and told tales, he would be dead.
He sighed, and felt that his mood was as desolate as the late autumn in the suburbs. He used to not understand what his old friends from Yan Country often said about the sadness of autumn in old age, but now he experienced it thoroughly.
In fact, this time White Wolf was not talking nonsense. As an outsider, she had a clear understanding of the situation of the Rat King and his daughter. She drank a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and commented solemnly:
"Mr. Lin did the right thing, and Yuxia's idea is also right. You don't want her to be in danger no matter what, and Yuxia is also trying her best to help you share the pressure. You make her angry for her own good, and she is angry with you for your own good. Think about it, according to her personality, if she doesn't care about you, will she be angry for a whole month?"
The Rat King stroked his beard and thought for a while, and found that this was indeed the truth. His eyes lit up, and then a smile covered his eyes, but the next moment, he woke up with horror.
"Yuxia said she won't come over for a month!?"
Bai Lang said nothing, her eyes wandering as she looked at the dishes on the table and nodded slightly. There was no way she would tell the other party that Miss Lin's original plan was for a week, but then it escalated to a month after she asked casually.
At the dinner table, Mr. Lin kept talking about Lin Yuxia's childhood. As an excellent listener, Bai Lang quickly mastered the secret of talking to the other party. It was really very simple. He just had to praise Miss Lin as much as he could.
After eating and drinking, the Rat King had the food on the table removed. His smile faded, and his face became solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Miss White Wolf, it's time to talk business."
White Wolf looked at the Rat King, whose temperament suddenly changed, and sat up straight, nodding seriously: "Mr. Lin, I have been waiting for you to speak."
"You have fulfilled our agreement. I will naturally fully support what you promised. However, I still need to make a small request to Lord Kelsey."
"Please tell me, and I will tell you the truth."
"Rhodes Island does not need to pay any commission to the Mafia." Rat King stroked his beard and looked at White Wolf calmly. Seeing that the other party did not look surprised, he nodded secretly in his heart and continued, "Longmen will purchase the corresponding value of Originium ore from Rhodes Island through secret channels."
Bai Lang noticed that the Rat King emphasized the word "purchase". Her expression remained calm, but her heart was in turmoil. She only knew that the local mafia in Longmen had some special connection with this city, but the fact that the mafia made efforts and Longmen received the goods still shocked her.
You know, Originium ore is the most precious core resource for the mobile city, but for the Mafia it is not real money at all. From this perspective, Kal'tsit's original plan of using Lungmen coins as commission is more in line with the interests of the Mafia.
The Rat King gave up the interests of the Mafia. He was actually negotiating this deal for Longmen, so he emphasized the word "purchase". In this way, Longmen could obtain the source stone mine as industrial gold without being affected by any unfavorable factors, because this transaction was apparently a purchase contract, and the specific transaction details must be known by only a few people.
Kal'tsit's metaphor couldn't be more apt. Mr. Lin's mafia is the shadow of Lungmen, and the two are clearly in a symbiotic relationship.
Volume 3: Chapter 69: Lapland and Rhodes Island
Bai Lang sat silently on the white chair, tapping the glass tabletop with her index finger. After a long while, she raised her head:
“I understand what you mean, but I have some opinions too.
“The same raw Originium ore can create a higher value in the processing plant of Rhodes Island. I believe Kal’tsit also took this into consideration when choosing to use Lungmen coins as commission. If the raw ore is directly handed over to Lungmen, Rhodes Island will indirectly suffer losses.
"So, Mr. Lin, based on what you discussed with Kal'tsit before, Rhodes Island needs additional compensation."
A faint smile appeared on the Rat King's face. He remembered that White Wolf represented the North, and he didn't expect that White Wolf would be so serious about Rhodes Island's affairs. "Miss White Wolf, I said that Longmen will 'purchase' the rough source stone from Rhodes Island."
"Phew, that's no problem. I'll pass this message to Kal'tsit. You can discuss the specific price with her later. I don't really understand it myself."
"Okay." The Rat King nodded, "There's one more thing I want to ask your opinion on."
"Please speak."
"The Lappland you chose to save has woken up not long ago and is making a fuss in the hospital. It is not appropriate for such a dangerous person to stay in Longmen. What do you think of sending someone to send her back to Syracuse?"
"Will she herself return to Syracuse?"
The Rat King shook his head. "She was quite resistant, but she was not without a solution. Another thing is that the news from the hospital said that she called out the name Texas many times while she was unconscious. The first thing she did after she woke up was to ask about Texas' whereabouts. She also asked where you were. I guess the Texas she was talking about was the one from the Great Emperor Company."
"That should be the case. She probably came to me because I accidentally revealed that I knew Texas." White Wolf rubbed his temple with a headache. "How about this, Mr. Lin, I'll go to her place right away and resolve this matter. That guy is very abnormal when he gets crazy."
After asking the Rat King for the address, White Wolf set off in a hurry. The car that had picked her up was still parked at the door, so she got in and asked the driver to rush to the hospital where Lapland was.
Along the way, she carefully considered the issue of Lappland. It was easy to understand why the Rat King didn't want her to stay in Longmen. If this guy caused any big trouble, ordinary people would not be able to control her. If Lappland was a normal person, everything would be easy to deal with, but the key point was that this Rupert was not normal.
The white wolf curled her lips. She thought that if only Lappland could be half as peaceful as she was. She was such an honest wolf who followed the law.
She had completely forgotten what she had discussed with the Rat King not long ago.
How about sending it to Rhode Island?
An idea suddenly flashed through her mind. She thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed quite feasible.
Rhodes Island is full of dangerous people, and it seems that this one is not missing? Moreover, Lapland's infection is already very serious, just suitable for going to Rhodes Island for treatment. The only question is, does Kal'tsit want this person? What if the other party doesn't dare to accept him?
Bai Lang was too lazy to make unnecessary guesses, she just took out her cell phone and called Kal'tsit.
"White Wolf? What's the matter?"
"The previous deal has been negotiated. I will tell you the details when I get back. Now I want to ask about the personnel matters."
"Go ahead."
"Have you ever heard of Laplande of Syracuse?"
"I heard something."
"It's convenient for you to know. She is also infected. Will Rhodes Island recruit such a person?"
"Of course we need useful talents." Kal'tsit said lightly.
"Uh, are you sure? She's dangerous."
I didn't expect that the person who gave the Rat King a headache would become a useful talent in Kal'tsit's mouth.
"Dangerous element?"
Bai Lang seemed to see Kal'tsit's contemptuous expression through the phone. She couldn't help but frowned: "Kal'tsit, I'm serious, she is really that dangerous Rupert."
Kal'tsit still replied in a nonchalant tone: "It's no big deal."
Now Bailang really couldn't understand it. Since the other party had heard of Lappland's name and was a medical operator and researcher, why could he act so calmly? Lappland was really a top-notch killer.
She then thought about the fact that there was only the medical department near Kal'tsit's office, and there was no top-level armed force to protect it. And Kal'tsit had this attitude...
Her tone was more serious than ever before: "If you want to do this, I dare not let her pass."
Arrogance is the most dangerous enemy, White Wolf thought, she must sound the alarm for the other party.
Kal'tsit suddenly fell silent, and no one knew what she was thinking. After a long while, there was movement again. White Wolf heard Kal'tsit cough twice and clear her throat:
"White Wolf, the suggestion just now makes sense. Don't worry, let her come over. I will be ready by then."
Bai Lang was still worried. She wanted to give him a few more instructions, but then she thought that Kal'tsit was very reliable and there was no need to say anything more. She nodded and said:
"Okay, fine. Then when you meet her, remember to help me prove that Texas is an employee of Rhode Island."
"Huh? Why are you saying that?"
White Wolf lowered his voice and whispered, "I plan to tell her that Texas is in Rhode Island, so that she will go there. Can you help me make it happen then?"
"I see. You are right. Texas has a contract with Rhode Island, so I am considered an employee of Rhode Island."
"Anyway, it's OK as long as you understand. If everything goes well, Lapland may go there in the afternoon. By the way, have you read the resume of Dr. Longmen that I gave you a few days ago?"
"You mean 'Ah'? He's a very thoughtful doctor and has officially joined Rhodes Island."
"Tsk, tsk, it's actually a positive review." White Wolf sighed a little and continued, "I'll be at the hospital soon. See you if there's nothing else. Bye."
"Goodbye."
Kal'tsit put down the phone, silently recited Lappland's name in her heart, and then shouted to the empty office: "Red."
"Red is here." A Rupert in a red coat suddenly appeared in the room.
"I have a task for you these days..."
