Chapter 420: Chapter 420
Pello felt that Su Ziceng already knew everything, but apart from the morning kiss she had asked for, she didn’t speak of anything else. She didn’t ask about Wen Maixue or the truth behind Count Olson’s death. She simply flashed him a sweet smile, and in her eyes was only trust. As long as it was he who said it, Su Ziceng chose to trust entirely.
It seemed that the avalanche not only helped him get rid of Count Olson, but it had also removed the barrier that had always stood between them.
"As you wish, my Queen." Pello chuckled softly, his morning kiss did not land on Su Ziceng’s forehead, but chose to linger on her lips, as tempting as roses and with a faint, sweet fragrance.
After leaving the hospital room, Pello sat down in front of the police from Nice. His eyes still carried the excitement left from the kiss, looking as simple and pure as the hospital behind him.
"Such a young man, where does he resemble a murderer?" The policeman from Nice jumped to a conclusion, and his questions softened considerably.
"My uncle is dead?" Pello was very surprised as if he was hearing the news for the first time. The news of Count Olson’s death hadn’t been made public, and besides the few present at the scene, indeed no one else knew.
"Yes, one could say it’s a tragedy," said the police from Nice as he got up to leave after gathering the evidence, "but for you, the innocent one, it’s good news. After the case is closed, the Count’s lawyer should find you. From any perspective, you are the legal heir of the Count’s Manor. By the way, extend my best wishes to the lovely young lady in there, hoping she recovers soon."
After the policeman left, Pello went to the end of the corridor and dialed Wen Maixue’s number. He was gratified to hear that her phone was still off; she should be on the plane by now. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
Then he dialed Shang Yin’s number: "Shang, is everything ready on your side?"
"You finally decided to call me," Shang Yin stepped out of the meeting room of the Fei Building, and through the window, he could see Mr. Fei in the opposite office spluttering with a group of nodding and bowing employees, "Let me ask first, how are things on your side?"
"All settled," Pello looked at Su Ziceng’s ward, the door was closed, but through it, he felt the hallucination of being watched by eyes.
Unable to resist, Shang Yin whistled, "Kid, you’ve now become Europe’s hottest Diamond aristocrat." The Olsen family fortune was probably at least ten billion US dollars. Considering his assets being surpassed within a month, Shang Yin couldn’t help but feel a little sour.
"It might take half a year for the estate settlement and identity verification. During this time, we must tie up all loose ends regarding Country Z," Pello wasn’t all too happy about Olson’s affairs. He was merely reclaiming the property he deserved; the matters in Mo City were what he needed to address immediately.
"Persuading the Fei father-and-son duo is just a matter of time. Just some wine and women are enough to keep them in line, but do you really want Fei Family to build Mo City’s tallest building? Is angering Su Qingzhang enough to satisfy you?" Shang Yin didn’t think Pello would be so easily pleased. Forgoing the simple method of directly killing Count Olson, but to have Olson die by his own son’s hand - Pello wasn’t a simple revenger to be brushed off.
"What do you think? If I just wanted to infuriate Su Qingzhang, would I need to personally enter Su Family? Would it be necessary to work hard to get close to Su Ziceng?" Pello took another look at the door, still motionless, yet his heart rate sped up a bit when he mentioned Su Ziceng.
"Then let’s proceed with your plan. Speaking of which, how do you plan to deal with the Su Family women after achieving your goal?" Shang Yin shifted his tone; now that Chang Chi was his woman, he needed to know how Pello intended to handle them.
"Among them, only Su Ziceng is truly Su Qingzhang’s offspring. As for the others, if they still support Su Family after its downfall, they’re to be dealt with together. If they know when to advance or retreat, I will spare them," Pello said, and soon after heard a crack in the door of the ward opening, with Su Ziceng’s face peering out, then retracting back upon seeing him.
There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone. After Shang Yin prompted a few times, Pello finally said, "Keep an eye on the Hang Family; I feel Hang Yishao has been too quiet recently."
