I Live Forever in Memory

As soon as she thought of this, she clenched her teeth tightly, glared at Elliott who was embarrassed, and said coldly, "Mr. Strassman, you really invite everyone to your banquet. I don't want to meet again. Those vulgar people stay together!"

"Miss Diana..."

Elliot wanted to say something to make up for it, but the latter didn't give a chance at all, and turned away with a cold snort.At the same time, several ordinary-looking men and women in the house followed, apparently the girl's entourage.

Naturally, Li Lin also saw the woman leave angrily.I know it's because of myself, but I don't really care.However, Elliott, who followed him, came back shortly after with a wry smile on his face.

"What's the matter, President Elliott, who is that?"

"Alas." He sighed, "That's a distinguished guest from the royal capital."

"Oh……"

Li Lin understood as soon as he heard "Royal Capital", obviously, that girl should be a noble.

No wonder Elliott treated her respectfully, but it made sense.Indeed, even if he was the president of a large chamber of commerce, he was still in a low position in the face of nobles.

Even if you earn ten or a hundred times as much as the nobles in the wall, if you don't take the initiative to fight for it, you have no political status and can only bear very heavy taxes.However, 90.00% of successful businessmen are basically from noble families, or relatives of noble families.

Of course, the top nobles would not be in business.Just like the "pride" that the girl just said, there is indeed such a thing.In the eyes of some aristocrats, doing business is completely the job of inferior talents, and they only need to eat and drink every day and support them with national and local taxes.

"But you don't have to worry about anything." Eliot said, "Miss Diana is a little arrogant, but she has no bad intentions."

"..."

Li Lin finished eating the cake in his hand, and finally asked, "President Elliott, I think we should get straight to the point. I don't think I should be qualified to participate in this kind of banquet, so let's just say something."

There are about 40 to [-] people present at the moment, and these people almost form the entire ruling network of the Stobes District.No matter what aspect, Li Lin didn't think that he, a military policeman who had only been here for less than a month, could get involved.Therefore, even if there is an element of deliberate wooing by the sub-team leader, Elliott must have something to ask for his help.

Sure enough, Elliott was silent for a moment when he heard the words, took him to a slightly quieter corner, and expressed his troubles.

"That's it, my daughter disappeared ten days ago."

"..."

"I reported the case ten days ago. But I haven't received any news of progress." Elliott glanced at the head of the branch not far away, and smiled: "This matter is likely to be kicked as a ball. Go. Seriously, that's what I pay in taxes every year."

"The military police regiment has always been like this." Li Lin said.

As I said before, the status of the rich is not that high in the wall, but lower than that of the military and the nobility.Even the chairman of the chamber of commerce is no exception.

All the taxes you pay are obligatory according to the laws of the king. If you don’t pay them, the military police who are still drinking and talking today will be able to seize your home tomorrow.Therefore, people without political status and money can only be fat sheep in the eyes of the exploiting classes.And what the fat sheep thinks, the masters will not care too much.

"Do you want me to come find your daughter?"

"Yes." Elliot nodded: "I can see that you are different from other military police. You have a sense of responsibility."

"..."

"Of course, it will not add a burden to your work in vain, and will give you a generous reward."

Li Lin thought for a while and looked at the cakes on the table, "It's easy to say what the reward is. Can I take some of these cakes back, they are quite delicious."

Elliott froze for a moment.

"You know, our wages are so low that we can't afford this kind of cake."

"No problem, haha." Elliot laughed twice: "I'll pack a box for you later."

"Thanks a lot then. Well, I need to know some more details about your daughter."

……

dinner.

Li Lin came back after learning about the information. He was not interested in chatting with some rich second-generation officials.

Holding a box of cakes, Li Lin just walked to the gate of the military police regiment headquarters, and a person jumped out from behind the stone pillar, and threw his hands in front of him in the shape of claws.

"what!"

"..."

Looking at Li Lin who was a little surprised but not frightened, the girl was a little discouraged: "I'm not frightened..."

"Karen, why are you here?"

Li Lin looked at the short-haired girl in surprise. He had to say that he didn't recognize it at first glance.

This girl named Karen is the girl who provided clues to the bandit gang before.After the matter was settled, both her parents died, and Li Lin was worried, so she proposed to become a soldier.And she immediately agreed, and then Li Lin took her to the training regiment in Stobes District and signed her up.

Now... more than half a month has passed, and the girl in front of me has changed a lot.

The weak and decadent girl was gone, replaced by a young girl who exuded vigor.She was wearing the uniform of the training corps, her hair was cut short, and she looked a bit like Sasha, a sweet potato girl with short hair, and her big light brown eyes were very beautiful.

"We're on holiday today, so I'm here to see you...you guys," Karen said.

"So caring." Li Lin was also very happy, "Have you eaten yet? Go, go to the cafeteria, by the way, how did you know I was back at this time?"

"Sister Ani told me!" Karen said as she followed Li Lin, "she said brother Li Lin, you went to the banquet. I thought you wouldn't come back, but sister Ani said you won't be around for long. will run back."

"..."

Karen laughed twice: "It seems that Sister Ani knows you very well, Brother Li Lin."

"This, it's okay. By the way, how is the training corps? Is the training intense? No one bullies you, right?"

"No, no." Karen shook her head, her face full of joy: "Everyone treats me very well and is very kind. The instructors also take good care of me, and my fellow students often ask me about your brother Li Lin. thing, they adore you!"
