Chapter 1153: Chapter 1122: Barking Dogs Don’t Bite
"That’s right, but that damn guy somehow managed to keep Mr. Lucchesi detained in the hospital."
"Oh?" Nicholas doubted that this Shao Weihua had such great abilities.
"The police are closely monitoring Mr. Lucchesi in the hospital. Looks like they’re waiting for him to wake up so they can charge him with multiple counts, just like Mr. Genovis." Murphy glanced secretly at Nicholas, hoping that his young master wasn’t behind this. "Young master, we’ve already lost Mr. Genovis. If we lose Mr. Lucchesi too, wouldn’t it be like losing both our arms?"
"Murphy, are you still blaming me for what I did to Casab? In fact, we haven’t lost him, just changed our approach. Besides, isn’t Xiao Lin protecting Casab very well for us?" Murphy looked at Nicholas with a puzzled expression. He had a knack for avoiding complicated issues, only listening to the part he could understand.
"So what should I do now?"
"Hehe, Shao Weihua, like us, isn’t a complete person. He wants to target Augusto because he lost Robert and also lost Wang Weibo. Just the day before, Wang Weibo personally killed his brother Wang Weili. Do you know why?" Without waiting for Murphy to ask, Nicholas continued. "Because of Xiao Lin, he’s gotten himself into big trouble, but he doesn’t realize it yet. This matter reminds us not to judge by appearances; barking dogs don’t bite."
"Oh, young master, you’re speaking nonsense again. Are you trying to tell me Xiao Lin’s a dog that doesn’t bark?"
Nicholas laughed heartily. When did his Murphy become so adorable? "I didn’t say that, but how’s that investigation I asked you to do?"
"There’s no news yet. Someone deliberately erased all traces back then. I just don’t understand why you want me to look into the history between Raphael and Miss Adam." Murphy didn’t believe the woman had any connection with Young Master Raphael, but he also didn’t think his young master would waste time, so he was conflicted and torn.
"Before Wang Weibo died, there was a traffic accident that resulted in the death of two Chinese men on the spot. Someone saw three people coming out of ’tomor’, including those two men. Where did the remaining fat man go?"
It’s already the high-tech era, and even on this vast ocean, you can enjoy signal presence anytime, depending on the area you’re in.
Troy was energetically running around on the deck, followed by Black Doctor. Xiao Lin, while occasionally watching this lively guy, couldn’t help but marvel at his enormous vitality and freakish self-healing ability. However, for safety reasons, he forcibly got Black Doctor onto the ship.
"Wang Weibo is dead!" Xiao Lin said to Ye Lushou, who was sitting across from him.
"Did you do it?" Ye Lushou pointed to his feet. "While I was catching that fat man, you should’ve been with him. Looking at those private photos, you could tell the marks were from the weapon I developed, but the police seem more inclined to believe this was a gang fight."
"I almost did it. I did have the thought of killing him, but I dismissed the suspicion that he was the one who attacked Troy. I can’t help but suspect that the sniper targeting us and the one bombing Troy are the same person."
"Hey, are you talking about me?" Troy, like a child, suddenly stopped running and leapt between Xiao Lin and Ye Lushou. Black Doctor also showed his interest, as anything related to Troy piqued his curiosity, and he had an absolute interest in the one behind the sinister acts.
Ye Lushou pondered for a moment. "I have to say, this is related to ’Black Crow’. I always thought the person opposing me was Lucifer, but the final results were always replacements. The last principal was accompanied by the Magician."
Xiao Lin fell into deep thought, his silence also affecting the other three, and the lively deck suddenly became silent. Indeed, there were unexplained issues in Ye Lushou’s encounter, especially with ’Black Crow’s methods, Lucifer, or possibly others. Did they need to find someone to take their place? Xiao Lin thought Lucifer was above Ye Lushou in terms of strength. If it was really him that day, then Ye Lushou was in dire straits. Who else could impersonate someone so convincingly?
"Lin, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. The other side likely has someone quite skilled in disguise or someone with a particular interest in this area. From what I can think of, one is Flame Swallow next to the old man; his human skin mask has reached a point of artistry, and then there are those people in the Assassin Group, their skin-grafting techniques can deceive anyone." Ye Lushou broke the silence, feeling the need to find this person.
"That’s not the point!" The one who stood behind Troy like a guardian figure, Black Doctor, suddenly burst out. He rarely got involved in such internal affairs, which immediately drew the attention of the others. "I think you’re focusing too much on the details, which might lead you into a trap, maybe also a smokescreen set by the opponent."
Focusing too much on one detail might amplify it and obscure other things; that was the point Black Doctor wanted to make. "Are you sure the opponent is Lucifer and Magician from ’Black Crow’?" Ye Lushou nodded confidently; he couldn’t be mistaken. "Then there’s a question: is ’Black Crow’ really going to disband? Firstly, Wing is now clearly positioned within the Dan Clan. Angel Adam Gadmon is on Nicholas’s side. I won’t even mention Consort Ling; he’s one of us. That leaves only Lucifer, Magician, Seventh-level Codename, and Joker, four people. They can be said to be Shao Weihua’s men, but from several incidents of leniency by Seventh-level, it shows he isn’t truly willing to work for Shao Weihua, so are these four people’s true motivations really just for themselves? For someone as proud as Lucifer and Magician, they wouldn’t lower themselves to serve someone like that, so..."
"Wait, what did you just say meant for you?" Black Doctor asked.
"’Black Crow’ doesn’t want to work for an incapable heir, meaning until they acknowledge Xiao Lin can become the successor of the Xiao Family, they won’t serve him." Ye Lushou answered Black Doctor’s question on behalf of the still-thinking Xiao Lin. From his perspective, this reason was a bit far-fetched. (To be continued.
