CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 167: BLOOD MEI ON THE SNOW (PART 3)
Pello felt that Su Ziceng already knew everything, but apart from the good morning kiss she had demanded, she did not talk about other matters. She did not ask about Wen Maixue or the truth behind Count Olson’s death. Instead, she just smiled sweetly at him; in her eyes, there was only trust. As long as he said it, Su Ziceng chose to believe it all.
It seemed that the avalanche had not only helped him get rid of Count Olson, but it had also removed the barrier that had always been between them.
"As you wish, my queen," Pello said with a low laugh. His good morning kiss did not land on Su Ziceng’s forehead but chose to linger on her lips, more enticing than a rosebud, with a faint sweet scent.
After stepping out of the hospital room, Pello sat in front of the Nice police, his eyes still carrying the excitement left by the kiss, as innocent and pure as the hospital behind him.
"Such a young man, how could he be some murderer?" The Nice police had formed a bias and, consequently, the questions they asked were much softer.
"My uncle is already dead?" Pello was very surprised, as if he was hearing the news for the first time. The death of Count Olson had not been made public yet, apart from the few people on the scene, indeed no one else knew.
"Yes, it’s a tragedy," the Nice police officer collected the evidence and then stood up to leave, "but for you, an innocent man, it is good news. After the case closes, the Count’s lawyer should find you. From any angle, you are the legitimate heir to the Count’s Manor. Also, take my best wishes to the lovely lady inside, hoping for her speedy recovery."
After the police officer left, Pello walked to the end of the hallway and called Wen Maixue. He was satisfied to hear that Wen Maixue’s phone was still turned off; she should already be on the plane by now.
Then, he called Shang Yin: "Shang, is everything prepared on your side?"
"You finally decided to call me," Shang Yin stepped out of the Fei Building reception room. Through the window, he could see Mr. Fei across the office talking to a group of employees, saliva flying, "let me ask first, what’s going on your end?"
"It’s all settled," Pello glanced at Su Ziceng’s hospital room, the door was closed, but even through the door, he felt the illusion of being watched.
Shang Yin couldn’t help whistling, "Kid, you’ve now become Europe’s hottest diamond noble," The Olsen family fortune was probably at least ten billion US dollars. Shang Yin felt a twinge of envy thinking that within a month, Pello had surpassed his own fortune.
"It’ll probably take half a year for the estate settlement and identity verification. During this period, we must clean up all matters in Country Z," Pello did not feel too happy about the Olson affair, he had merely taken back what he deserved. The matters in Mo City were currently his main concern.
"Convincing the Fei Family father and son is a matter of time. With more liquor and women, I guarantee they will comply. But do you really want the Fei Family to build Mo City’s tallest building? Is just enraging Su Qingzhang enough to satisfy you?" Shang Yin didn’t believe Pello was that easy to please. Giving up the simple method of directly killing Count Olson and instead having him die by his own son’s hand, one could not dismiss Pello as a mere avenger content with superficial revenge.
"What do you think? If I just wanted to enrage Su Qingzhang, do you think I needed to personally enter the Su Family? Did I need to make so much effort to get close to Su Ziceng?" Pello looked at the door again, still undisturbed, but his heartbeat sped up slightly when mentioning Su Ziceng.
"Then just follow your plan. Speaking of which, what do you intend to do with the women of the Su Family after you succeed?" Shang Yin changed his tone, now that Chang Chi was also his woman, he needed to ask how Pello intended to deal with them.
"Among those women, only Su Ziceng is truly Su Qingzhang’s blood, as for the others, if they stand with the Su Family after it’s in trouble, they will be dealt with too. If they know when to advance and retreat, then I’ll spare them," Pello said and then heard the door of the hospital room open a crack. Su Ziceng’s face peered out and upon seeing him, she quickly withdrew.
There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone, Shang Yin called out a few times, and finally, Pello said, "Keep an eye on the Hang Family, I feel like Hang Yishao’an has been too quiet lately."
