City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1823 - 1783: Everything Investigated Clearly
This is a vineyard on Sicily, a piece of land given to Helena by her father Mattio as a Christmas gift when she was very young.
Therefore, apart from Mattio, not even those from Amore know about it.
Moreover, although it appears to be a large vineyard on the surface, underneath lies a secret hideout. Helena has been hiding there for the past month, occasionally coming up, only to quickly go back down.
Now, Helena truly resembles a rat in hiding. As the daughter of the Godfather, it’s imaginable how difficult this has been for her.
Ye Qiu held Helena’s hand and said, "It will be soon."
In the following two days, Ye Qiu stayed here with Helena because he had entrusted Dante and Enzo with investigating the internal situation of the family.
For these two days, Dante and Enzo continuously investigated the affairs.
Including the internal split within the Mattio Family, and the matter of Amore colluding with the Sirio Family to force Helena to marry the young master of the Sirio Family.
Evidence is crucial in everything, even in the Mafia.
To help Helena take down Amore, Ye Qiu must obtain evidence of their betrayal of the Mattio Family.
On the third night of Ye Qiu’s arrival in Sicily, maid Sophia and the cook had prepared dinner. Ye Qiu and Helena were sitting there eating pizza, caviar, red wine, and Italian pasta, when they saw Dante and Enzo arriving.
The two hadn’t rested properly for two days and nights, their eyes looking a bit red, their spirits noticeably lower compared to the previous days.
"Mr. Ye, here is the information you asked for."
"You must be very tired, have something to eat first, then get a good night’s sleep. We have important tasks to handle tomorrow," Ye Qiu said.
Letting Dante and Enzo join them for dinner, the two ate hastily then left to rest.
After two days and nights of investigating the data, they were indeed very tired. Fortunately, they still have quite a few informants within the Mattio Family, otherwise, some matters wouldn’t be investigated at all.
The two hurriedly finished eating and departed; Ye Qiu drank half a glass of red wine, and Helena had completely entrusted these matters to Ye Qiu. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
She believed Ye Qiu would soon bring her out of this dark underground secret hideout.
After dinner, while the cook was cleaning up dishes and cutlery, Ye Qiu took the information Dante and Enzo had investigated and along with Helena returned to the master bedroom beneath the hideout, placing the materials on the table.
Ye Qiu first wanted to take a shower.
"Helena, I’m going to take a shower."
Ye Qiu grabbed the shorts prepared by Ye Xue for him, and just as he was about to run the bathwater, he saw Sophia walk in.
Sophia is a typical northern Italian, quite different from southern Italians, though all Italians are Caucasian, their facial features, eye color, and even hair color differ greatly.
"Mr. Ye, do you need me to assist you with your bath?" Sophia asked.
"No need, I can wash myself."
Seeing her enthusiasm made Ye Qiu think of Louise.
But Sophia was different from Louise.
Louise was a Viscount, a Princess, while Sophia was just Helena’s maid.
Having undressed, Ye Qiu comfortably soaked in the warm water, thoroughly enjoyed his bath, and then returned to the master bedroom in a robe.
Although Ye Qiu and Helena hadn’t taken the final step, they were already living in one room.
As Ye Qiu entered after his shower, Helena gently dried his hair, had the young master of the Sirio Family witnessed Helena once high on her pedestal doing such for Ye Qiu, he might die from anger.
"Helena, rest now, tomorrow I’ll take you out of this hideout, never needing to hide here again."
"We are going up tomorrow?"
"Yes, with the Godfather’s daughter disappearing for so long, many have been searching for you. Tomorrow we’ll make a proper appearance."
Ye Qiu sat at the table, under the lamp’s illumination, carefully reading over the materials Dante and Enzo had investigated over the past two days.
Including the data on the Mattio Family.
The Mattio Family, developed single-handedly by Helena’s father Mattio, belongs to the Mafia Family. Aside from Mattio himself and his relatives, including uncles, collateral relatives, there’s also Mattio’s wife, lovers, and family members, totaling around fifty to sixty individuals.
Helena herself doesn’t belong to the legitimate wife’s offspring, but is the daughter of a lover, only later did Mattio marry Helena’s mother, officially making her a Mafia Princess.
This part of the family members is considered truly reliable.
Of course, Ye Qiu knows that some among them are unreliable, due to their greed and dissatisfaction, these need to be weeded out.
Ye Qiu drew circles on the paper.
Then there’s Mattio’s trusted aides, these are the ones Mattio inducted into the Mafia himself. Part of them has been brought to Mafia Headquarters, while the rest, led by Amore, form Mattio’s trusty inner circle.
Those brought over by Mattio are still at Mafia headquarters in Palermo, but the second-in-command led by Amore currently oversees everything in the Mattio Family, this faction has the largest number of troops, roughly five hundred people or so.
Additionally, there are some partners, part of the Mattio Family members, though they aren’t ethnically Italian, instead belong to various national origins, some even black, numbering around three hundred.
These people could be loyal, or not, as they merely follow orders from whoever is in power above, akin to mercenaries.
This group is also what Ye Qiu seeks to win over.
Aside from this, there’s nothing else.
Reading through this thick pile of documents, Ye Qiu finally understands why Amore’s faction is so arrogant; in essence, soldiers, including officers, within the family are controlled by Amore, with years spent bribing and securing their loyalty.
Moreover, the family’s financial income is fully controlled by Amore’s faction.
People in this business ultimately do it for money; with Amore controlling the funds, he’s essentially their paymaster.
Even if Amore isn’t the boss but the second-in-command, people will still follow the one holding the purse.
Ye Qiu closed the documents, discovering many photos, CDs, letters, and text message materials.
Having looked over everything, Helena, dressed in a sea-blue nightdress, quietly lay on the Italian bed, gazing at Ye Qiu.
