Chapter 413 Presumptuous Requests
Jiang Yue only smiled at his words, she chose not to say anything as she continued typing on her computer.
*DING*
"Hey, stop it. Look at this," she said as she opened an email and showed it to Fu Jin.
"Ashton?" He raised an eyebrow. "The real na is Li Dong-Xue, twenty-nine years old, married. It seems that he was telling the truth."
Jiang Yue did not answer Fu Jin as her lips turned into a beautiful smile. "About his wife-Yes... about everything else-No."
She then got up from her seat and dialed Ashton’s number, telling him to co to see her as soon as possible.
"You want his empire?" Fu Jin blurted out as he continued reading the information in front of him.
"We can use it," she said nonchalantly as if she was not talking about the biggest criminal group in M Country but about sothing trivial. "I need to clarify so things with my mother, then, I want to find my father."
"Yue..." Fu Jin got up and walked towards her. "That... Your father has dared to venture the West in hopes that he could look for your mother. The west is not sowhere you can just run around freely. We don’t know if..."
"I know, Jin." She said, walking towards the floor to ceiling windows that were also the doors to the terrace of their suite room. Jiang Yue then stared outside, at the busy streets of Dongsu City. "The Li Family has ties to the person who is trying to kill my mother. I think my father knows these people. That’s why he chose to hide while looking for my mother."
"How sure are you that he is indeed hiding?"
"My mother was not able to find him. With her skills, it’s either my father was deliberately trying to hide or... he is already dead."
"But why would he hide?"
"Well... that question will be answered once I talk to my mother."
Their conversation was interrupted when Bei Ye entered the room and told them that Ashton was asking to see her.
"That quick?" Jiang Yue glance at Fu Jin before looking at Bei Ye. "Let him in."
After a few minutes, both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin went to the living room of the suite to talk to him.
"Miss Jiang..." he respectfully rose from his seat to greet Jiang Yue.
"Please, take your seat, Your Highness... I don’t deserve such courtesy." She smiled at him. However, for so reason, Ashton felt chills down his spine when he saw Jiang Yue’s smile. It was supposed to be amicable, yet he was sohow feeling a little scared.
"Miss Jiang... is there anything wrong?" He asked, worry apparent on his face. What if Jiang Yue wouldn’t agree to his requests? Where would he hide from the people who wanted to take over the Kim Empire in the underworld?
"Ashton... I will agree to your request." She said, her smile did not falter.
However, Ashton did not feel relieved at her words. The more he looked at Jiang Yue’s smiling face the more he felt sothing was definitely wrong with her. What could that be?
"However, I want sothing in return," as expected, Jiang Yue’s next words ca like a lightning towards Ashton. Jiang Yue had already had everything. What else could she want from him?
"Miss... Miss Jiang, the information that I have given you should be enough, right?" He hesitated, rumor had it that this woman was extrely smart. She should know by now that he was telling the truth.
"Don’t be so nervous, Ashton... I won’t bite..."
"Ehem."
Jiang Yue chuckled when she heard Fu Jin. "At least not to you."
Seeing the seemingly harmonious interaction between Fu Jin and Jiang Yue, Ashton beca even more puzzled. Her demand should not be sothing outrageous, right?
’Maybe, she just wants more information,’ he thought.
"Please, tell ... What do you want in exchange?" He asked.
"I have two presumptuous requests." She answered directly. "First, tell everything about the dicine from the Li Family. Since you are originally from the Kim Family you should know these things."
"I..." Ashton imdiately lowered his head when he heard her words. Of course, Jiang Yue would have a way to know that. "I always thought that Miss Jiang would not know about this... But it seems you are exactly like the rumors say."
Jiang Yue did not answer his words. She simply looked at the snacks that were served by Bei Ye before turning her attention towards Ashton. "That is not an answer to my question."
In response, Ashton let out a long sigh. "This information... I am not really confident about my knowledge about that stuff. But I believe I know enough."
"I hope whatever it is that I tell you won’t leave this room." He added.
"Miss Jiang... Mr. Fu, are you familiar with the Vercello Family from the West?"
