347 Friend, I Must Explain (1/2)

The source of all conflict within the money-laundering organization came from a single word, profit.

Credit needed to be given where credit was due. It was due to Edward's presence in the organization that such conflicts could be resolved with such expediency.

Madam Grace had one or two nemeses in her life, and the reason for the hatred or the process leading to that hatred was not really that important. The important thing was the unsteady relationship that pitted them against each other for the fight for power and resources; the time that they had spent 'working together' did not help the situation either. It was an open secret that they could not wait for the other to die. Even if they belonged to the same organization, it would not have been so surprising to wake up to the news that one had already killed the other.

Han Chu, who had been closely following the movement of the organization, naturally picked up on this. Even though the information that leaked out was not that detailed, for something like this, one only needed to know the general framework.

”This is the biggest suspect.” Han Chu pointed at the picture that he pulled out on the laptop. He nudged the screen slightly over when he realized that Ye Shuang would not be able to see it from her angle. ”He's currently in China and is important enough for Madam Grace to go and meet him alone. At least in my opinion, this Luther is the most possible candidate.”

”Oh, the man is a bit too mature for my taste, but I have to say, he's quite handsome.” Ye Shuang glanced over quickly and returned to the driving. ”So, what is the man's background?”

Is he old? Actually, not really, at least he's much younger than Madam Grace, and some might even call a man around forty to be in his prime, Han Chu thought to himself as he turned the laptop back. He continued to pull out the information. ”He entered the organization about the same time as Madam Grace, and like the latter, he's a cunning fox. One thing worth noting about him is that while Madam Grace built her career with her own two hands, this Luther is a second generation. Both of his parents were founders of the organization, and Luther took over the family business, so he is one of the most connected men in the organization.”

Unfortunately, even the money-laundering organization was a kind of partner-based or share-based organization. In any case, it was not an asset that belonged to a particular person, so Luther's advantage was only a wealthier range of resources, and he was not powerful enough to rule the entire organization with his own words. Otherwise, someone like Madam Grace who arrived later to the scene would not have had the opportunity to rise and even become the man's rival.

After hearing Han Chu's introduction, Ye Shuang shot out this question. ”Brother Han, do you think he might harm Madam Grace?”

”That is definitely not outside the realm of possibilities. After all, we're dealing with criminals here.” Han Chu did not deny it. ”There are simply too many possibilities like wanting to take over the other's territory or simply the hatred over the years finally boiling over… But we also have to approach this from another angle; the meeting between the two this time might be entirely peaceful. After all, the person who suggested the possibility of danger was Edward, and don't forget, that is someone with his own agenda.”

Indeed, even though it was undeniable that Madam Grace was in the opposing camp, no one could guarantee that Edward was definitely their ally. After all, their temporary truce was because of their current shared objective, but once there was a difference of opinion, it would be foolish for one to expect Edward to put Ye Shuang or Han Chu's stance into consideration. Perhaps from the very beginning, it was the fatty's plan to use them to injure his target while he watched on from afar.

Reminded of that, Ye Shuang sighed. ”Now that you mention it, I can't help but feel that it is a bit too coincidental for the fatty to have made this call when Cedrick suddenly decided to show up tonight… But how did he know so precisely that Cedrick would come to us tonight?”
