My Scheming Little Devil

Ye Lu’s worry grew denser. Such a formidable character, such a dangerous turf, could Third Young Master Jun really infiltrate smoothly and obtain intel on their military defense and various important pieces of information?

She was looking into this, also to see if she could help him.

Failing to find very effective information, she instead received a call from Hua Lunxi. Hua Lunxi, hearing she had arrived in North America, wanted to meet her in person.

They agreed on a secret meeting place.

"Yiren has also come to North America. I sense from her words that she’s probing me and my father, trying to find you. But for now, she doesn’t know that you’re my sister," Hua Lunxi began.

After a slight surprise, Ye Lu was not bewildered; after all, her existence was always a threat to his position as the sole heir.

Eventually, she too would have to return to the Hua family and confront Yiren, but not right now.

She had more important things to do, like revealing her identity as a Hua family daughter after giving birth, especially since fighting Yiren and the Ivan Group was dangerous.

She believed that, at this stage, it wouldn’t be easy for Yiren to track her down.

"Let’s not talk about that for now. I know you have always been in charge of the Hua family’s business affairs in Asia. What do you know about the large drug lords and the powerful owl families, like the Su Family?"

"Why are you asking about the Su Family?" Hua Lunxi was quite puzzled. She was focused on areas completely unrelated to her life.

Ye Lu’s expression was grave and serious, "I have my reasons, but I can’t tell you them at the moment. I’m sorry."

After all, a joint multinational strike against the big drug and owl lords was a highly classified operation.

The massive, secretly planned event was, historically, the most severe military strike against this drug and owl family, a cooperative mission between high-profile leaders from various countries, determined to eradicate this family that had poisoned Wanli.

Thus, before the operation began, it was vital to keep it confidential.

Even Third Young Master Jun had been careful not to tell her the details of the mission, and she knew the importance of maintaining secrecy; informing Hua Lunxi wouldn’t be beneficial to him either.

Hua Lunxi, a clever man himself, saw her serious demeanor and did not press further, mulling it over carefully.

"Actually, I’ve never had any contact with this family. Our business in Asia doesn’t touch that region. Their identity is special, and within the big families of Asia, they’ve always been surrounded by an air of mystery. But it’s precisely this mystery that makes so many people curious about them, so in the business circles of Asia, there are quite a few rumors about the Su Family."

"What kind of stories?"

He spoke with an air of mystery, "The history of the Su Family’s rise to power dates back to several decades ago, and it’s quite unclear how it all began. By the time they became well-known, they had already grown into a prominent force, with untraceable origins.

Dozens of years ago, Southeast Asia’s economy was very underdeveloped, and at that time, drug trade flourished wildly, bringing disaster to the region. The Southeast Asian countries took strong actions against drugs, launching several large-scale military operations to quell the brazen, internationally operating drug traffickers. The once-notorious three great drug lords of Southeast Asia all declined during that period.

Unexpectedly, when the big players fell, the relatively modest Su Family took the opportunity to rise quietly and became the largest drug lord family in Asia. It’s said that their group’s assets exceed even those of the current richest person in the world. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

However, since their wealth comes from illegitimate sources, they never appear on wealth lists. But the truth within the world of wealth is that everyone knows that these mysterious families are the ones with truly substantial wealth, powerful enough to rival nations."
