Chapter 1029: Crocodile Is an Organization
“You…” Chen Yichen had not seemed to have realized that her goal was so broad. He was surprised by her.
He held his coffee cup without moving for a long time as it took some time before he came back to his senses. “Do you know what you are talking about?”
Her thoughts were too terrifying and too shocking.
She wanted to completely dig out Jingdu’s cancerous tumor and the numerous people involved around Crocodile. It was an impossible feat.
Even the Young Commander had had to take into account the interests of all parties. Though he’d wanted to do what she was planning to do, he ultimately did not.
She was only a young girl, and he couldn’t believe that she had enough ability or the means to carry this out.
The delicate balance between the distinguished families in Jingdu had not been changed or challenged for a long time. Everyone had silently acknowledged each other’s interests and connections. If she wanted to topple that balance, she was going to have to pay a heavy price.
“Have you ever thought about how many people make up this cancerous tumor? It will be as difficult as trying to ascend the sky if you want to topple it on your own.”
“How can I know if I don’t try? Maybe I’ll be lucky, and I really will succeed.”
Chen Yichen was amused at her innocence and looked at her helplessly, feeling a lot of distress. “Girl, what are you going to use to fight them? Let’s not talk about the four distinguished families. You can’t even handle Crocodile.”
“I will find a way to lure Crocodile out…”
“Find a way? What way?” Chen Yichen chuckled lightly and leaned back in his chair, trying to organize all the snippets of information in his mind. “Do you think Crocodile is a person and an international drug lord?”
“Ah? What…what do you mean?” Yun Xi suddenly raised her head and caught the meaning behind his words. “Do you know something?” She looked at him eagerly. She had always felt that he knew a lot of inside stories that she was not privy to, and perhaps even the inside stories that Mu Feichi hadn’t told her about.
“What I know, the Young Commander also knows, and he probably even knows better than anyone else, so why hasn’t he told you? The reason he didn’t tell you is the same as why I don’t want to tell you.”
“Don’t leave me hanging! Quickly spill the beans. I’m listening!”
Yun Xi put down her cup and sat upright, looking at him expectantly.
Her clear eyes were like shining stars in the night, and the glittering light reflected in Chen Yichen’s eyes, making it impossible for him to refuse any request from her.
“I can tell you, but in exchange, you have to tell me what you are plotting and what you are doing, so that I can work together with you and not hinder you.”
No matter what she did or what her plans were, he, as the heir to the eldest son of the Chen family, did not have the luxury of keeping completely out of it.
Therefore, this is why he had hurried home and asked his father for his opinion and made his decision clear. No matter what she had to do in the end, he would stand by her side unconditionally.
His father asked him if standing by her side meant going against Jingdu’s distinguished families and whether even the entire Chen family could be dragged down and implicated. As the heir, the pressure and challenges he had to bear would be greater than ever. His father warned him to be careful and to make sure he wasn’t going to regret it.
From the moment he’d decided to go home to speak to his father, he did not intend to regret it.
“No problem.”
Chen Yichen nodded and rubbed his slender fingers on the edge of the coffee mug. He seemed to be reminiscing but was also choosing his words carefully.
“You have been investigating the whereabouts of Crocodile recently. Crocodile is a well-known international drug lord. But only a few people know that Crocodile is not just the code name of the big drug lord. It is an organization that is not just a single person but consists of many people.”
