Chapter 1415: Chapter 1415: Going All In
"Yes, I’ve gone mad." Ye Lu laughed, tears mingling with her laughter, a bitter and sorrowful sound. "Now, aside from a contest of madness, what other options do I have? I’ve run out of choices."
The tears at the corners of her eyes didn’t fall; she coldly wiped them away.
If she hadn’t been pushed to the brink, no woman would have resorted to such madness. She had no choice but to risk it all.
A gamble—a gamble on a chip no one would expect, not even the Godfather.
...
"That woman has already been to the bank. It’s likely that she’s obtained the location of the secret, and now she’s preparing to retrieve the information related to the secret of your identity from Hua Linqi."
Captain Xiao reported to the Godfather while busily collecting intel on Ye Lu’s actions.
The Godfather nodded slowly, his expression calm, as though he’d anticipated this long ago. Not even a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Perhaps, everything was already part of his plan.
"What’s her recent activity?"
"We’ve checked. The Hua Clan recently arranged several flights—three flights to foreign countries and three domestic ones in the coming days. It appears she’s obtained the location of the secret and can’t wait to act. Godfather, we must stop her. If she announces your identity to the world, it’ll be catastrophic. However, the way she’s going about this clearly suggests a diversion tactic. We have no means of covering all six locations simultaneously. That woman is too cunning, and this matter is truly troublesome." Captain Xiao couldn’t help but feel deeply anxious.
After all, North America wasn’t their territory. With Ye Lu’s current actions, sending people to track her across multiple places was impossible for them.
The Godfather, however, chuckled eerily: "There’s no need to track her. She’s gone to such lengths already; there’s no need for us to waste energy chasing her."
Captain Xiao was astonished. "But the secret will fall into her hands. What if she..."
"Relax. Just follow my orders. Leave her be. Also, summon Gu Yan here; I have matters to discuss with him."
Gu Yan had already arrived in North America. It was time to squeeze out his last remaining value.
Captain Xiao obeyed and then added, "Miss Yiren called earlier, asking when you plan to fulfill your promise to her."
"Tell her that patience is needed. Since I’ve promised, I will naturally accomplish it for her." Su Feiman’s expression carried a trace of disdain.
What an impatient woman—she was indeed inferior to Ye Lu.
He had already told her to relinquish her inheritance rights during the meeting. As an exchange, he promised that she would ultimately become the sole heir of the Hua Clan.
The desperate Yiren had been overjoyed and immediately decided to collaborate with him.
After Captain Xiao left, Dr. Mason came out and handed a pile of medication to the Godfather. "Are you really not afraid she’ll reveal your secret? Women, once they go mad, are terrifying. I heard she even had a falling-out with King. She knows King has returned to your side and is helping you commit all these immoral deeds."
Su Feiman took the medication, huffed coldly, and glanced at him askance. "Immoral deeds?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Dr. Mason shrugged. They’d known each other for decades, and Mason had never truly feared him.
"No, you didn’t. But tell me, is anyone who accomplishes great things truly clean-handed? Don’t worry. She doesn’t dare expose anything. Even if she hates King, she is still the person who loves King the most. King is in my hands now—how could she dare act recklessly?"
Su Feiman’s expression betrayed his full understanding of the situation.
"She’s probably thinking of using these secrets to trade for King’s freedom. That plays right into my hand, making my plan even smoother."
