Congreve…
Lin Jie's eyes narrowed, and the hand on the table subconsciously clicked on the table with his thoughts.
He knows that Qili has achieved a very high status in the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce through her own efforts over the years - of course, there is also the relationship between her father's preference for illegitimate daughters, the very old-fashioned marriage of the original partner, and the true love of the mistress.
At the same time, it is conceivable that Qi Li is not all smooth sailing, she still has a few brothers and sisters who are eyeing her.
In addition, the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce is a business organization jointly established by several families. Generally speaking, each of the three branches is controlled by a family and checks and balances each other. Therefore, if she wants to develop further, it will inevitably be restrained. It can be said that both internal and external enemy.
Among them, in the internal struggle, this guy named Congreve is the most jumping.
Of course, Congreve also has his reasons and confidence to dance. Before Qili returned to the Chapman family, Congreve was the most likely person to inherit the family business, and he already had a group of loyal supporters. , if it wasn't for Qili being too evil and rising too fast, she would definitely have been severely suppressed at the very beginning.
Even now, Congreve's power cannot be underestimated. Although Qili's advantage is great, it can only be suppressed, not eradicated. She is always at risk and needs to be careful to guard against his actions.
And now Qili specifically mentions a book she got from Congreve, certainly not for nothing.
It is quite possible that that book recorded or proved something that could strike Congreve, or even bring down his supporters.
That's why Qili came to find him specifically.
Although she did this out of trust in him, but... With Qili's current status, there are only a lot of talented people around, but they can't understand this book. Although he Lin Jie also prides himself on ignoring everything Understand a little bit, but cryptography is really outside his area of expertise.
Lin Jie had no choice but to say politely, "I can try, but I can only do my best to help you. After all, I'm not good at this."
Qi Li's tone immediately became cheerful: "That's great, thank you very much! I'll go to your place with the book right away!"
Hey, don't sound like I've settled the matter, did this little girl hear the last two sentences
Lin Jie sighed with a gloomy look on her forehead. It sounded like she just wanted to come over. She didn't seem to care about the book. It was a standard childish temperament.
But as a responsible adult, he still has to take care of the situation.
"Wait first, you got that book from Congreve, it's very important to him, and it's probably the key to completely overthrowing him, right?" Lin Jie asked.
Qili said: "Well, according to the information reported by my informant, this book is very likely to be Congreve's real reliance, more important than his other supporters, and also related to his recent abnormal developments. It's relevant, because I judged that the contents of this book were written in some ancient language, so I thought of you."
She added: "He has intercepted several shipments recently, the destination is unknown, but he did it very secretly, and my informant has no way to obtain evidence for the time being."
Lin Jie pondered: "Don't be careless, for such an important thing, he has no reason not to take insurance measures, although your position has been stabilized now, but from the point of view that you have not been able to solve him completely until now, his henchmen are still Very strong, don't take him too lightly, if he's really an idiot, there's no reason for other people to support him."
He paused, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Judging from your tone, you shouldn't have encountered any major obstacles to getting this book, right?"
Qili was stunned, and immediately realized that Lin Jie was reminding her that this book might be a trap.
Indeed... Bella reported Congreve's change not long ago, and the informant got the book a few days later, and the speed was too fast.
If it was under other circumstances, she would definitely doubt whether it was deliberately arranged by the other party.
But her contempt for Congreve was too deep-rooted in the past, and she didn't think much about it for a while.
And another point is that the informant is her most credible in Congreve. She was originally Congreve's confidant, but after she washed her thoughts with the "Seal of Spiritual Goodness", she turned into her diehard.
- "Spirit of Good Spirit" is the ability that Lin Jie gave her three years ago. As long as she communicates with the other party to a certain extent (the degree depends on the mental strength of the other party), she can force the other party to have "compassion" for herself. , "love", "tolerance", "admiration", "loyalty" and other positive thoughts.
In other words, it is not necessarily positive, but it must be kind to her.
The reason why she is called "Chapman's Witch", the source of her magic is because of this ability, so that everyone who has come into contact with her will be unconsciously "infected" by her "personality charm".
So did the informant, so she didn't doubt the other's competence and loyalty.
Qili hesitated: "No really no, but..."
But if it's a trap, it means something is wrong with the informant.
If you take it apart, this trap is very obvious, and the informant is a member of Congreve's think tank, and it is impossible not to have access to this level of strategy.
In other words, Congreve may have regained control of the informant, and let this guy come to the Infernal Affairs, a reverse spy.
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "I would rather believe it than not. Have you ever thought that since you can't understand the content of this book, then he might write something in this book that is not good for you? false information, backhand report to frame you."
On the other side, Qili's face suddenly became solemn, and she frowned: "If I treat this book as something that can completely overwhelm him and continue to study it..."
Lin Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Then you may be in danger!"
Qili felt goosebumps popping up behind her back at the moment, because if there was no Lin Jie, according to her character and contempt for Congreve, she would most likely feel that this was an opportunity to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, and then continue her research. , If the other party suddenly becomes smart at this time, and conversely says that this book is her thing, it can really cause a wave of damage to her.
This is not the level of Congreve...
Lin Jie had probably guessed from Qili's silence that she should have reacted by now and was a little nervous, so he calmed down and comforted: "But these are just my guesses now, you bring the book over and let me see, And I'm safer here."
Well, with my own police presence, it is very safe.
Qili followed her kindness: "This was originally my plan, but now it seems that Congreve may really be plotting against me..."
She sneered: "It's really good, I'll let him know what real pain is."
Lin Jie frowned, and secretly said that the tone was not good. The life of aristocratic intrigue over the years seems to have changed this little girl a lot, revealing a ruthless heart... He gave the book "Non-Violent Communication" to Qili, I just hope to leave a seed of love in the heart of this little girl who suffered from family misfortune. Violence is always the last resort and cannot be regarded as the norm.
Now it looks like it's still crooked.
He cleared his throat and decided to help Qili review her original intention: "Do you remember what I said back then?"
Qili nodded and said, "Of course I remember, you asked me to communicate with each other in the language of love and wisdom, not violence... unless I can't help it."
Did he say that back then? The wording is too direct.
Lin Jie laughed twice: "It seems that you remember it very well."
