My Scheming Little Devil

Ye Lu was shocked, "This family is actually so wealthy."

Hua Lunxi said sarcastically, "Ha, being rich isn’t something to be surprised about after all. Drug trafficking is extremely profitable, and the earnings come from the destruction of future generations. But what makes people in the circle respect and even fear the Su Family whenever they’re brought up, it’s that the Su Family has done something that all other drug lords haven’t been able to do."

"What’s that?" Ye Lu had a vague idea of what he was about to say.

Sure enough, Hua Lunxi let out a complicated smile, "This group, which lacks all conscience, has even dared to set themselves up as kings, dominating a region, and considers the surrounding governments beneath them. You could say, their audacity and courage are not of the ordinary sort."

Ye Lu was very puzzled, "Logically speaking, the Su Family has been dominating the region for a decade, has been known for over two decades, and has been poisoning the area. Don’t the surrounding governments want to eliminate them? Why have they allowed them to grow stronger step by step, until now when it’s out of control."

"That’s also why the Su Family is so notorious. It’s not that surrounding countries don’t want to eliminate them, but that they can’t. Over the years, there have been various military operations, but they just can’t annihilate them. This is because the Su Family itself has a substantial military force, and the geography of the battlefield is complex and easy to defend but hard to attack. During the several military strikes, they’ve suffered losses. Moreover, the situation in Southeast Asian countries isn’t stable; domestic politics are chaotic, and with their own troubles to deal with, it’s difficult to focus all efforts to wipe out the Su Family. There was even a time when the Su Family was at peace with these governments," Hua Lunxi couldn’t help but shake his head.

Ye Lu reflected, "I think, for the Su Family to have stood for so long, they surely have protection and shields within the government."

Not to mention these dark, criminal families, even legitimate enterprises generally have intricate connections with government officials, having protection and a shield.

This Su Family, a drug trafficking group, has survived for so long, probably because they have quite a few high-ranking officials protecting them.

Hua Lunxi nodded, "Of course, which criminal group doesn’t have protection and shelters? But the issue is, those attacking them are several countries, not just one. Can their protection and shelters be so powerful as to cover multiple countries? After all, the highest echelon of a country surely wouldn’t want such a malicious drug trafficking group to exist. Can their shelters exert such tremendous power to bypass the highest levels?"

Ye Lu, resting her chin on her hands, fell into deep thought. That’s true, the Su Family might infiltrate one high-ranking official, even several, but it’s impossible to infiltrate an entire government or the governments of several countries to protect them.

Then, what exactly has the Su Family relied on to stand for so long?

It’s indeed a reason that’s mysterious and terrifying.

If she could find out this reason, ha, perhaps this battle wouldn’t need to be fought at all.

Hua Lunxi told her a lot about the Su Family, but these were all non-essential matters.

"If you want to know some more in-depth details, you might consider approaching the Ji Family. It’s said that the former head of the arms dealing group, Nie Rong, was a fierce character. Decades ago, the arms circle was dominated by the Ivan family. But Nie Rong had the guts to seize Ivan’s market, and Asia was where their battle was fiercest. In the end, Nie Rong won and took over more than half of Asia’s arms market shares."

Hua Lunxi’s eyes were profound, sharp, and clear.
