"My mother was immersed in her work like she was possessed. She even secretly took away my grandfather's real power and became the president of RF."
Arisa said: "But as far as I know, I have never seen my mother behave in an extravagant manner. Except for meals, she often wants to use nutritious biscuits for three meals.
Then Xueer mentioned that he was like that."
"That's why I feel so scared why I have to do this."
"Arisa is such a good boy." Rean said.
"Why did you say that suddenly?"
"You always think about other people like this, don't you?" Li En said, "Even if you are angry with the other person, you still can't help but care."
"In the beginning, you treated me, Laura, and Fei as well. Regarding my sister, you also gave me good advice. Even Miriam, you privately put yourself in her shoes."
Li En said: "I think everyone is very grateful to you, and I am probably the most grateful."
"ah."
"Lu Lei's movements below the stage are indeed very worrying," Li En said.
"This is Arisa's hometown. Maybe returning to President Irina has something to do with it."
"So, should we, the special version, also come to investigate the situation?"
Arisa said: "Huh? But I still have internship projects, so I shouldn't have much time to do these things."
"Just do it while solving the commission. As long as it's within the scope of handling it, it doesn't matter." Li En said.
"It's not just me, everyone seems to have the same idea, including Fei, Aite, and March. Even the seniors are very concerned about it."
"Then we just have to rely on our own judgment to carry out the internship activities."
Arisa thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I won't say anything about my thanks. Xue'er is very tight-lipped, so I don't think I can ask anything."
"I'll go find Luray's friends and see if they know anything."
"It's okay to use communication at this time."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. After accepting the commission tomorrow morning, we will discuss the future policy together."
"I understand." Arisa said, "Then I'll ask through the communication immediately."
"See you later."
Li En said: "Yeah."
"Ahem, let me give you a piece of advice, don't suddenly say those words that make people blush." Arisa said: "It has nothing to do with nobility and hard work. I think it is very bad for the men of the empire."
"Well, it's true that this is not good. I'm sorry because I often did this to my sister in the past. Yes, Elyse also often complained about it.
Yeah, but if she doesn't do anything, she will say things like being cold and indifferent."
"Ai, it seems that your sister and I have the same opinion. Let's talk about it next time." Arisa said.
"good."
Rean received the message when he went out.
"I'm Rean."
"Great, it's connected. Fortunately, I asked Miriam for your number first."
"Could this voice be Claire?"
"Yes, I'm sorry to contact you so late. Is it convenient to talk now?"
"Can."
"Actually, I have something to tell Li En, but it's not very good to talk about it through the communication. Is there a way to meet and talk on the street later?"
"Wait a minute, is it related to the college's activities?"
"Yes, strictly speaking, yes, but under the heightened vigilance of the garrison, the movement of a large number of people may be too conspicuous."
"That's why I contacted you, Li En. You are the captain, right?"
"Well, I'm not the captain... Well, anyway, where can we meet on the street later?"
"There is a bar called F on the south side of the sky corridor on the upper level of Luray. It is a quiet and calm bar, which should be good for talking about things."
"I know, I'll go over right away." Li En said.
"I will wait. It doesn't matter if it's a little late." Claire said, "Also, if possible, it might be better not to let Arisa-san know about this matter."
"Um?"
"Because the content we want to talk about is also related to RF, I'll leave it to you to judge, then I'll wait for you to come." Claire said.
The only thing I couldn't let Arisa know was that I felt a little bit guilty and had no other choice. I would explain it later depending on the situation.
Rean then left alone.
Just walked out the door.
"Are you going out?"
"Oh, it's Miss Xue'er, that one."
"You don't need to tell me to know. Please leave it to me to hide it from everyone."
"Um?"
"Although I don't know what's wrong with you, I must have some difficulties. I will handle it properly, especially the eldest lady will never notice it. Please don't worry." Xue'er said.
"Not to me, security is not that kind of thing, it's just that I know someone in Luray who wants to meet and talk with me."
"Haha, I understand, leave it to me, I will assist you."
"That's really up to you." Rean said.
"Okay, please be careful on the road." Xueer said.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into Fei on the road.
"It's really good, Rean." Fei said: "I eliminated the aura very seriously, but you still saw it."
"Well, when are you? Could it be Mr. Geng?"
"Because I saw you going out, then, where are you going?" Fei said, "It is indeed a date in the evening."
"Ai, Miss Xue'er really teaches you everything, that's actually true."
Rean explained the details of Claire's communication.
"This sounds like a date indeed." Fei said, "I'm sorry, I really want to hinder you."
"No, it's just different from what you said. Ai, in that case, why don't you come too, Fei?"
"Is this good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, because her information seems to be related to the internship. To be honest, it feels very heavy to have to face the Ice Maiden alone."
"I understand, but before going there, I want to walk around the city first."
"City?" Rean said, "Why?"
"When you come to a city for the first time, you have to walk there once, both during the day and at night, otherwise you won't be able to feel at ease," Fei said.
"That's it." Rean understood, it was the habit of the hunters.
"I'll accompany you, but I won't let Claire wait for too long."
"I think this is enough, let's go." Fei said.
The two of them walked together in the Luray night.
I saw an anxious little boy on the road.
"Wow, Xiaofei, where are you!? I surrender. Come out quickly."
"Kid, what's wrong with you?"
'Ai, who are you, big brother?'
Fei: "We are not suspicious people."
"It's very dangerous to be out alone at this late hour." Li En said, "The child should have gone home at this time."
"Yeah," the boy said, "but Xiao Fei said he would play hide and seek no matter what."
"Hide and seek at a time like this." Rean said.
"Well, I caught him once at noon. He was very unwilling. Usually I can't find him and then surrender more often."
"So, Xiaofei said he is still playing."
"It's really fun to play hide-and-seek, right?" Fei said.
"No, no, that's not the case." Li En said.
"You guys have something to worry about, should you tell it to your family first?"
"Well, because our families are neighbors, we have a very close relationship, but Xiaofei seems to have hidden away somewhere far away."
"I see, that's a bit worrying." Li En said.
"That's good. We just have time to help you look for him together," Fei said.
"Is this okay?"
"Okay, you also want to get him early, don't you? And that child might be lonely hiding in the dark." Li En said.
"Thank you so much, big brother and big sister."
"Are there any clues about the hiding place?"
"Well, I searched a lot around here but couldn't find it."
"Well, I hope he didn't run too far." Rean said.
"Since you are not willing to give in, you will definitely be very serious and will not hide in a normal place. Maybe you will go to the upper level." Li En said.
"Then, let's go to the upper level and look for it. Maybe it's hidden somewhere on the upper level." Rean said.
We took the elevator to the upper floor, which looked quite beautiful and luxurious.
Soon Fei discovered the child's aura, and after some searching, she found the child in a big box.
"Huh? Who are you, big brother?"
"found it!"
"Okay, we are here to find you." Li En told the whole story.
"What? It's a violation to ask someone for help."
Li En said: "No, we took the initiative to propose it to her. No matter how late it was, he was very worried about you."
"He will be sad if he can't find you. Since it's a game, don't take it too seriously," Fei said.
"That's right, you should limit the time in advance." Li En said.
"Ai, there's really nothing I can do. I'll just go back." Xiaofei said, "It's really amazing. Sister, you can still find me even though you're just fooling around."
"Haha, this is very simple. For me, this level is just sneaking into the mission nest."
"Although he speaks strangely, he seems to be a good person."
Li En said: "Okay, go back quickly."
"Big brother, big sister, thank you."
Return to the boy, he said.
"Anyway, as long as nothing happened, it's so late. You should go home as soon as possible." Li En said.
"That won't work. Then it's my turn to be the ghost and he comes to hide." Xiao Fei said.
"Xiao Fei, I'd better stop playing," the boy said.
"Be obedient and go back quickly. Besides, the loser must listen to the winner," Fei said.
"Ah, okay, I understand, just go back now."
"That's good, be careful on the road." Li En said.
"This is the stone I picked up for you." The boy said.
"That's good." Rean said.
After they left.
Li En said: "We have been going around for a long time, and we are almost back to the bar."
bar.
Claire was wearing casual clothes and waiting for Rean on a seat.
"Hello, Claire, you are really domineering."
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
"Oops," Claire saw Fei.
"Hello."
"That one she followed naturally."
"Of course, it doesn't matter. It's to protect classmate Li En and confirm the situation."
"Do you know everything about me?" Fei said.
"I know a little bit from the intelligence department, but sitting in front of the bar is a bit conspicuous." Claire said.
"Let's go to the seats inside." Claire said.
.......
"Well, good night, classmate Li En and classmate Fei." Claire said, "This is the first time we sit down and talk properly,"
Li En said: "Yes, I have wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you since before."
Claire: "Oh."
"Have I become a light bulb?"
"That's not what I meant. In fact, I have wanted to ask a very fundamental question since a long time ago. What exactly are you planning to do?" Li En said.
"This." Claire said.
"When it happened today, I certainly couldn't agree with the toughness of the defense team."
Li En said: "However, originally the garrison did maintain law and order, but your activities made me think it was a provocative act."
Fei: "That's what it looks like."
Claire said: "I do not deny that there is such a side. The current situation in the empire is not optimistic. Not only that, but also Crossbell, who is enthusiastically preparing to become independent, and Smith are also preparing to make a move."
"Under such circumstances, we have no choice but to do it the most perfectly. We are the only ones who can do it perfectly."
"this."
"Isn't it your leader who aggravated those conflicts and chaos?" Fei said.
"..." Claire: "I don't deny it, but Lord Iron-Blooded's actions are very sincere in a sense."
"He never crossed the line to reconcile with these monsters."
Li En said: "This."
"You have said it." Fei said: "Sure enough, the aristocracy is behind those people?"
"I think this cannot be denied." Claire said: "At least Duke Kane, one of the four famous families, is their backing, that's for sure."
"The airships they used in the sneak attack on the fortress were all from Oka."
Li En said: "I didn't expect the inside story to be quite deep."
"Remember Duke Kane is Jussis's father."
"Yes." Li En said.
"Last time in Regram, Rufus came to pick up Jussis personally, and this time Lu Lei came." Rean said.
"What's the connection? What's going to happen with RF this time in Luray?"
Claire: "Finally we can face the topic directly. Currently, Your Excellency Iron Blood is considering conducting a mandatory investigation on RF."
"Why?" Rean said.
"RF is now suspicious of something that makes us suspicious." Claire said.
"As you all know, RF has many other investors."
Fei: "It seems like that."
"Originally, RF was the empire's leading industry, and it was nothing.
The problem is that in addition to the current President Irina, there are other people who have invested in the company, and they are also divided into reformists and nobles."
Li En said: "It's actually like that."
"Even there is divided."
"Of course, the current president is very powerful and can reasonably coordinate, but he cannot fully control it."
Claire said: 'Now the president is trying to control various people and take action, but what happened five years ago made those people even stronger.
Although she also gained real power, she just couldn’t swallow it in one bite.’
Li En said: "Such a thing actually exists."
"Okay, the information I want to disclose is here and there. Please work hard for the rest." Claire said: "Then I take my leave." (To be continued)
