377 I Do Mind (1/2)
This idea of hurting others to benefit oneself was definitely brilliant. Madam Grace would provide the manpower and money—the hurting others part—to help Luther take back his stuff, which was the benefit oneself part.
No matter what Madam Grace got from this, from Luther's perspective, he only stood to gain and had nothing to lose.
Madam Grace narrowed her eyes and studied Luther for ten seconds with a cold smirk on her face. After bringing the atmosphere in the room and the man under her gaze immense pressure, she nodded like giving away charity. ”As you wish.”
Then, she stood up and left.
Wonderful, please… Wait, shouldn't we talk about the conditions first? Luther, whose mind was working a bit slowly after being interrogated for so long, was confused.
Even though he might be seriously taken advantage of, he had an idea of the projected benefits that Madam Grace was looking for. In comparison, not discussing the condition was far scarier because while Madam Grace might be helping him, she would keep everything that she had reclaimed and would decide whether she would return parts of them to him after everything settled.
”Give him some dry bread and three hours of sleeping,” Madam Grace ordered her people at the door. ”Before dinner, I want to see the detailed report about the situation at Luther's bungalow. By the way, when the report is ready, wake the idiot up to hear it as well.”
Swallowing the objection that was rising in his throat, Luther used his brain that had dulled over days of not sleeping to process the information. Perhaps they would discuss the rest after he had a good night's sleep?

A money-laundering organization was the most typical representation of a high IQ criminal field.
These criminals often specialized in areas that normal people would not access and knew things that would elude normal citizens, like the flow of world economy. They had a level of culture and professionality that was higher than normal, and they possessed enough knowledge, intelligence, a clear plan, planning ability, and set targets. From their uniqueness, one could see that this type of criminal had an inclination toward battles of the wits over all-out gunfights.
In other words, highly intelligent criminals would not normally go for overly violent behavior. Written plainly, they would not give the official party any easy reason to arrest them.
However, not leaning toward and not liking violence did not mean that they would not use violence. Actually, as long as it was criminal activity, as high-tech as they might be, they would have to touch upon some violence in the process, no matter what.
Just like smuggling military arms into China, just like Madam Grace's aim, and just like… the sniping that was happening now, they all had a clear target.

”I don't recall either Madam Grace or Luther being this brazen.” Ye Shuang turned the steering wheel, and the car knocked into the vehicle next to them. She forced a gap between the enclosing circle surrounding them. She squeezed through the forming gap and stepped on the pedal to speed down the road.
After introducing some distance between them, she gritted her teeth and cursed. Ye Shuang could not help but grumble again. ”Why are we the target?”
Everything had changed after Han Chu and Ye Shuang successfully dropped Ray off. In other words, the target this time was not Ray but Han Chu and Ye Shuang.
