People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1137: Saria doubts her life

Columbia, Rhine Life Headquarters.

After watching the golden sea rain, Christen slowly returned to her office.

Saria, who was "instructed" by Qi Yan, was already waiting for her in the office.

"If it weren't for Qi Yan, I'm afraid we would have to wait for an unknown amount of time before we meet again," Kristen chuckled and teased.

Saria:?

Didn’t she come here to call for punishment?

Why did the topic suddenly turn to Qi Yan?

Could it be...

All these clues formed a complete logical chain in Saria's mind.

She took off her windbreaker, hung it on the standing hanger in the office with familiarity, and took out the documents she had sorted out from its pocket.

"Kristen, after Qi Yan's rampage in Tremont City last time, it would be reasonable to say that Rhine Life would completely offend the military."

Saria slapped the document on the desk, looked directly at Kristen and said in a deep voice: "But according to my investigation, Rhine Life's cooperation with the military has become closer recently."

"It's just a business where both parties get what they want." Kristen said nonchalantly, "I don't think this kind of thing is worth your time."

"If that's all, there's no need for me to pay too much attention to it."

Saria pointed at the documents that didn't attract Kristen's attention at all, her expression serious.

She and Christen have known each other for many years and co-founded Rhine Life. They are the people on this earth who understand each other's temperament best.

"According to Amiya's contact with Justin in Lateran, she brought me a message." Saria's eyes were a little gloomy. "You are carrying out an unprecedented in-depth cooperation with the Colombian military. You are developing some terrifying weapons."

"It seems that Qi Yan didn't tell you everything."

Christen remained calm in the face of Saria's questioning.

Saria took a deep breath.

Sure enough, Qi Yan’s hand was also involved in this.

Apparently, the last time Qi Yan broke out of prison and caused a big disturbance in Tremont City, when everyone's attention was attracted by Qi Yan's shameless robbery, Qi Yan and Christine concluded some kind of deal.

"Tell me what weapons you developed in cooperation with the military." Saria stepped forward and said.

Kristen looked at the approaching face that she was very familiar with, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

Saria was still the same as she remembered, always cold and icy. Even when she was angry, she would not deliberately show a threatening expression. At most, her eyes would become a little more scary.

Although just this alone is enough to make most people sweat profusely.

"The answer is... I don't know either," Kristen replied.

Saria frowned.

She didn't think Christen was the type to avoid being around others. Since she had taken the initiative to confront her, she would tell the truth without hesitation, even if she knew the answer would cause a rift between them.

But according to the news brought back by Amiya, Little Justin claimed that the cooperation between Rhine Life and the military was led by Christen.

Kristen wouldn't lie to her.

There was no need for Justin to lie to Amiya.

It is even less likely that the intelligence she collected herself was false.

"Something went wrong inside Rhine Life." Saria came to the answer.

Kristen nodded, walked past Saria, and sat back in her office chair.

"You know, I seldom stay in my office, but now I haven't been out for nearly half a year.

Even if I go out for a short time, there are a lot of defense staff accompanying me to protect me. "

"You are under house arrest?!" Saria opened her eyes.

But soon, Saria fell into new doubts.

"If you were under house arrest, how could I possibly see you so easily?" Saria brainstormed frantically, "And who is targeting you? The Colombian military doesn't have the ability to control the internal operations of Rhine Life... It's Ferdinand!"

Kristen smiled, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her:

"That's right. He has now extended his hands to many departments of Rhine Life. In the past six months, many external businesses of Rhine Life were only handled under my name, but they were actually handled by him."

"Why is he doing this?" There was a dangerous gleam in Saria's eyes.

"Because it was Qi Yan who ordered it."

"?"

A huge question mark appeared on Saria's head.

Kristen looked at Saria's reaction and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that you are the most confused one in Qi Yan's plan."

"...Is there a possibility that I am the most sober one?" Saria smiled bitterly, "I feel like there must be some misunderstanding. Qi Yan has always been more... uh, direct in doing things."

"There is no misunderstanding. Qi Yan's methods are indeed very direct and effective."

Kristen did not follow Saria's line of thought, and explained on her own: "He knew Ferdinand's ambition very well. When he came to cause trouble at Rhine Life, he taught Ferdinand a lesson, but also made a promise.

He once promised Ferdinand that the future of Rhine Life would belong to Ferdinand, and it was this promise that allowed Ferdinand to begin to unleash his ambitions. "

Saria's scalp tingled.

Based on her understanding of Qi Yan, that guy might really just want to beat Ferdinand up and have some fun with him.

How did people like Kristen misinterpret Qi Yan's simple behavioral logic into what it is now?

"I think there really is some misunderstanding..."

"I said, there is no misunderstanding." Kristen shook her head and interrupted Saria, "The future of Rhine Life has been given to Ferdinand by Qi Yan. Just recently, when Ferdinand's weapons research and development was nearing completion, Qi Yan even deliberately transferred Muerseth, the only one who was willing to support me, and sent him to the north to deal with the ice field.

I no longer have any helpers around me, and apart from handling some daily tasks, I have completely become a mascot.

Look, what a simple and efficient layout. Just by slightly moving an inconspicuous chess piece on the chessboard, you can accurately control the entire direction of the game. "

"Is... is that so?" Saria's expression was as weird as it could be.

She was absolutely unwilling to believe that Qi Yan would give up his invincible fists and instead waste his brain cells on these boring tricks.

But why did she feel that Kristen's analysis made perfect sense?

Kal'tsit, she must be crazy!

Kristen looked at Saria's tangled expression and continued to prove her point:

"Even you are Qi Yan's pawn. You appeared at the right time before I was about to take action, and combined with Qi Yan's previous pointing out of me, you successfully made my efforts to reduce my presence in recent times become a laughing stock.

Now my every move will attract a lot of attention. I no longer have the possibility to fight back and can only let the situation continue to develop towards Qi Yan's expectations.

If nothing unexpected happens, when Qi Yan shows up in person, it will be my end."
