442 Time to Make Arrangements (2/2)
After all, he was the biological son. The best underling might have the heart to betray, even a normal underling might, an underling's underling might. It was not the same with a biological son. After all, blood was thicker than water. Even if Cedrick had some plans of his own, at worst, it would cost an early retirement for Madam Grace. No matter what, Cedrick would not really harm his mother.
Furthermore, Madam Grace probably had an issue of loyalty with her people. It was fine when she was the boss, but if she handed the seat of power to one but not another of the same standing, it might tip the power balance, causing irreparable consequences.
At a time like this, if the empress' son was selected to take over, no matter the ideas they were harboring… be it those who really wished to serve Madam Grace or those who wished to take advantage of the situation, instead of causing a ruckus within her ranks and allowing other people to stick their hands into her business, the better solution was to have an outsider who had no foundation with anyone to come in and act as a buffer for now. In any case, from any perspective, Cedrick was the best choice to take over while Madam Grace recovered.
Han Chu thought about it. ”With your own forces, it'll be much simpler for you to do things. Don't you want to take revenge for Madam Grace?”
Furthermore, if a familiar friend like Cedrick took over, it would be much easier for Han Chu as well. Cedrick seemed to have made a decision already. Talking it out with Han Chu and Ye Shuang was merely to vent the frustration in his heart. Even if Han Chu did not say anything, he would not have abandoned Madam Grace at a time like this. Therefore, when Han Chu and Ye Shuang left, the new boss had already taken his place, and he had already started to familiarize himself with the ins and outs of the business.

Madam Grace's forces were not their most imminent problem. For the group in San Lin City, they were more concerned about Ye Shuang's physical problem. After leaving the hospital and sending Anthony and Yao Zhixing away, Ye Shuang got caught in a not a good situation.
The genetic breakdown when she was driving was a sign of things to come. Even though she had returned to normal very quickly after that, but later, Ye Shuang's body had started to show what the real meaning of 'problem' was.
In the following half a month, Ye Shuang's body started to showcase distressing signs at an interval of every two to three days.
The sudden change of physical appearance became nothing new. In the latest instances of genetic breakdown, she even had a rapid change of gender. One second, she was a soft young beauty, but the next, she turned into a dark, handsome young man. Her genetic code was a mess.
It was worth noting that to prevent her family from worrying and her friends from finding out, Ye Shuang had been transported to a small town, the type that did not have any other people within a ten-mile radius in the name of a mission by Han Chu.
”You don't look so good.” After yet another worrying event, Han Chu looked at the pale-faced and sweat-covered Ye Shuang while typing the latest data on his laptop. ”Do you want me to help with your funeral arrangements?”
