But Ye Lu insisted on keeping him despite the objections.

Ling Kong approached Ye Lu in private, "I’ve checked his background. Completely blank. We can’t even find out which country he originally came from, which is too strange. There are only two possibilities..."

"What possibilities?" Ye Lu asked curiously.

"One, someone deliberately erased his identity traces, leaving no clue. Usually, such people are up to no good. Two, this person is a refugee, a stowaway."

Ye Lu nodded, "I think it’s more likely that he’s a stowaway. Ling Kong, I know what you’re worried about, but having spent so much time with him, I haven’t felt any hostility or murderous aura. If he had ulterior motives to lurk around me, he should have taken his chance by now. Moreover, I think he’s genuinely simple-minded and doesn’t resemble those evildoers."

Ling Kong frowned. He had been involved in the criminal underworld since he was young, had been an assassin for money, and had committed numerous murders.

He had a particularly sharp intuition when it came to his peers.

He also hadn’t sensed any killing intent from this person called ’Shadow’. If a person harbors hostility and schemes, no matter how good their acting is, there will often be subtle hints that betray the unique temperament of an assassin.

This person, when with Ye Lu, showed no killing intent, was very, very calm, and even gentle.

But he was always on alert, feeling that Shadow’s background was too suspicious.

"What about Feiyu?" Ye Lu’s complexion darkened.

"Still no news, but this is enough to prove that he must be alive," Ling Kong consoled her.

Ye Lu sighed. But what exactly happened? Why is there still no news after so long? Where could he have gone?

"Do you think, could it be that the godfather has caught him?" The thought alarmed Ye Lu. Fallen into the hands of that terrifying godfather, Jun Huang, being a traitor, one can only imagine the torture he might suffer.

And his broken, frail body...

The thought was piercingly painful to her.

Ling Kong shook his head, "If he had fallen into his hands, why is there no movement from Su Feiman’s side?"

Ye Lu thought about it and agreed. If Su Feiman had caught Jun Huang, he would likely use it to threaten her, yet there was no action at all, which was strange.

...

"Third Young Master, time to board the plane!" Lie Feng spoke in a deep voice.

ThirdYoung Master Jun coldly eyed the plane parked at the small airfield in the night.

Once on this plane, there would be no turning back. The notorious No. 2 drug trafficker and crime lord title would be firmly attached to him, with no chance of redemption.

"In such an environment full of crises, to think the godfather still intends to smuggle this batch of goods into a powerful country like the North American Federation, it’s like digging on a dragon’s head. He really defies heaven!"

His voice was not sarcastic, but carried a strange undertone.

"Because the godfather said, he believes in your formidable strength, that you will be able to handle the goods properly without alerting the North American government." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"That’s because if I don’t handle it well, I won’t have to live to come back."

"..." Lie Feng had no response since this was indeed the fact, and the godfather would not forgive a failure,"But this journey is not entirely bad. The godfather said... you can see Ye Lu, and I should not stop you!"

ThirdYoung Master Jun, upon hearing this, showed no signs of surprise but looked at him with a complex and pitying gaze.

"Lie Feng, do you think this is his grace? You’re too naive."

ThirdYoung Master Jun said nothing more and boarded the plane.
