On the screen, Eureka and the kidnapped hostages huddled together, trembling, but Ren Dong had a bad feeling.

This ominous feeling came from her mind, not from the group of robbers.

Sure enough, after seeing this scene, Suri couldn't help but speak up:

"Interesting. Looks like they're about to go on a killing spree? I don't think they'll get the money they want so easily."

'Shouldn't we avoid taking this kind of thing as a joke?'

Put yourself in their shoes: if such a heinous incident had occurred on the territory of the Venetian family, then if the family didn't dismember and publicize the culprits, it would become a laughingstock for other families.

So Ren Dong subconsciously tensed up and hoped that Su Rui wouldn't say anything sarcastic at this time.

"Okay, I got it. Just keep watching."

Su Rui didn't say anything more. Although you could hear some resentment in his tone, Su Rui at least didn't say anything about wanting to see rivers of blood.

Honeysuckle felt a sense of relief as she turned her gaze back to the scene before her.

Then, as the situation developed, when the kidnappers were choosing hostages, the first person they saw was Eureka, who was holding a selfie stick, live-streaming, and whispering to herself.

"Hey! You! It's you! Come out here! You're the first lucky one today. Hopefully, your death will make those guys outside take this seriously, so we can get the money faster and the others can leave sooner!"

One of the robbers pointed to Eureka, who was still broadcasting live even in the face of danger, and then pulled her out.

"To still be in the mood to do a live stream under these circumstances, I don't know whether to call her reckless or dedicated."

Even Ren Dong couldn't help but feel puzzled by Eureka's actions. This girl always seemed to encounter some chaotic accidents during her live streams, and it seemed she was really going to suffer this time.

Even if people outside prepare a rescue now, it will certainly be too late to save Eureka, who is already being targeted by weapons.

But Suri had great confidence in Eureka:

"Don't worry, Eureka will definitely be fine. You see, she's never the one who gets hurt in any accident."

However, her live stream was canceled as a result, and the organizers cancelled their collaboration with her.

"This is normal, not an accident. Eureka will not be injured by an accident."

That's just making excuses. Honeysuckle shook her head helplessly and continued to look at the scene in the picture.

Then the bank's power supply seemed to malfunction, and while the robbers panicked, Eureka was still live-streaming her escape on her phone:

"Dear viewers, this was terrifying! You almost never got to see the adorable U-chan again!"

'She probably doesn't know that someone like you has such complete faith in her.'

"It doesn't matter. Whether I have confidence in her or not, she will continue to stream like this."

Ultimately, the farce ended relatively peacefully, and Eureka even seemed to receive praise because her live stream provided law enforcement with inside information, making it easier for them to develop a plan.

What are our plans for this afternoon?

After watching the live stream, and still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Suri checked the camera to see what Eureka would do after giving her statement. Bored, she turned off the camera.

'The afternoon? Of course, it's time to continue dealing with the matter of the Venetian family being framed.'

"Hasn't this matter already been resolved?"

Su Rui was a little confused, but Ren Dong wasn't surprised and patiently explained:

"Although we've prepared the script and captured the killer, the subsequent public outcry, retaliation against the opposing family, and the actions against the killer we captured are all things I need to handle."

"These things can be left to your subordinates, right? However, it's best to leave the matter of retaliating against the rival family to you and me."

So you just want to see rivers of blood but don't want to do any other work, right?

Honeysuckle smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, I guarantee the whole process will be very interesting."

There's no need for public opinion to ferment; just wait a while, and the newspaper will print out the prepared articles and sell them the next day.

To speed up this process, and then fast forward to the point of bloodshed after the New Year, Su Rui even offered to help out.

"While I can't help you speed up the newspaper printing process, I can launch a massive online campaign to publicize this after the newspaper goes on sale tomorrow, so that everyone online can see it... Do you want me to expose the rival family's affairs?"

"No need. Revenge is naturally better handled with sharp blades and gunpowder."

Honeysuckle rejected Su Rui's suggestion, but the image of Su Rui in her mind pouted somewhat displeasedly:

"Last time you said you wanted to get revenge on that Midar, but after meeting him you only warned him. Although that was certainly more in your best interest, you're not going to do the same thing this time, are you?"

"This time it won't be like that. This level of offense has crossed the family's bottom line. We will make our opponents pay the price... So this time, there really will be the bloodshed you desire."

For Mafia families, business losses are sometimes a minor matter, because as long as the business continues, the wealth can keep rolling in.

But reputation is another matter entirely; it's what truly matters to the survival of a family. Anyone who dares to make a move in that area must be prepared for a full-scale war.

Volume 1: Chapter 24 Determined to be suicide

"Really? That's great. I'm going to take a nap. Just wake me up tomorrow morning."

Why are you going to bed so early?

Ren Dong paused for a moment, glanced at the time, and realized it was only one o'clock in the afternoon. Could it be that Su Rui stayed up all night yesterday?

"Because I don't feel the passage of time when I'm asleep, and I don't need to wait for my favorite show to start."

"Someone's coming to pick up the killer we caught later. Are you sure you want to go to sleep now?"

"Who's going to receive this? Isn't this your spoils of war? Why are you giving it away? I thought I was going to give it a good beating!"

Su Rui immediately perked up, but the reason she gave made Ren Dong roll her eyes.

"Of course, we'll hand him over to the court. We've already gotten what we wanted. Handing him over to the court serves both as a warning to our opponents and as a prelude to our next actions."

"There's one more thing, I just remembered. Right after the report, a bloody incident occurred in your rival's family. Won't people suspect the Venetian family?"

'People will obviously know it was us; there's no need to doubt it.'

Honeysuckle nodded, as if it were a matter of course: 'After that article framing the Venetian family was published, the people of Syracuse should have realized that bloodshed was about to occur.'

"As expected of you, no wonder I feel that there are more and more patrols in the family, including you, you carry a lot of equipment with you."

'This is, of course, to prepare for a possible assassination attempt. Our adversaries have certainly made preparations as well.'

"In that case, it will be very difficult for us to infiltrate undetected, right? Even with a scanning field of vision, if there are observers or cameras everywhere, there's no way to perfectly avoid them, is there?"

Su Rui's tone became excited.

"You're right, so a battle is unavoidable during this infiltration."

"That's great! Cough cough, I mean, I'll help you a lot, and I'll mark all the targets that you need to kill in advance."

Just don't mark it randomly when the time comes.

Ren Dong nodded, not exposing Su Rui's obvious thoughts, which seemed to be written all over her face, and leaned back in her chair to rest.

"By the way, Suri, your scanning field of view can observe the Venetian family, right?"

"Of course, what are you thinking?"

'Could you check if there are any assassins infiltrated into my family?'

"Not yet. I've been keeping an eye on everything around you, and at least no one has infiltrated the Venetian family yet."

"That's good... By the way, what exactly is the area you mean by 'around me'?"

"It's not very big; it only covers the area of ​​this mobile city."

Suri casually gave an answer that silenced Ren Dong. Even though she had already guessed that Suri's abilities might be beyond her imagination, Ren Dong still couldn't help but be surprised:

'This can't even be considered the surrounding area anymore, can it?'

"How can it not count? To be honest, it's just that Terra's current network environment and long-distance transportation are not very convenient, otherwise I would have to monitor the entire world to guarantee your absolute safety."

Suri, on the contrary, was not satisfied with her current surveillance capabilities:

"Who knows if there might be some scheming individuals outside the city plotting something dangerous?"

I think your idea of ​​trying to monitor the whole world is quite dangerous.

Ren Dong thought to herself, but at least Su Rui was on her side, so he probably wouldn't do anything dangerous, right?

While Suri and Ren Dong were chatting, Suri suddenly spoke up:

"By the way, I saw three people in a car, it looked like a judge and two armed security guards. They must have come to pick up the killer you caught?"

"That should be it, and the one you mentioned is called a bailiff."

Honeysuckle nodded and stood up from her chair: 'I'll go see them.'

Then, Honeysuckle met a long-haired gray-haired Rupert woman at the family's gate, who introduced herself as Lavinia.

"Hello, ma'am, I've been notified to come and pick up the assassin captured by the Venetian family."

"Of course, please follow me."

Honeysuckle nodded, glanced at the two police officers behind Lavinia, and began to chat with Lavinia as they walked:

"Has anything major happened in Syracuse recently?"

"No, apart from some common crimes, there's nothing to report... If your families could stop those clandestine underhanded tactics, there would be far less crime."

Lavinia's words were pointed, but Honeysuckle didn't seem to care, simply smiling and saying, "You know yourself that this is impossible, don't you?"

"..." This time, Lavinia did not answer Honeysuckle's question.

Su Rui couldn't help but think to herself, "She doesn't seem afraid of her family. Even a judge shouldn't be able to stand up to a family, right? In a place like this..."

'Most judges are indeed like that, but the identity behind this judge who upholds the law and punishes evil is also not simple.'

"In the end, it's all because someone is backing him up. Let her reprimand him then."

Suri casually made a sarcastic remark about Lavinia, which made Ren Dong smile involuntarily.

Chi Zui looked at Ren Dong with some confusion, but Ren Dong quickly suppressed her smile and led them to the detention area, nodding to them:

"You can take them away now. What happens next is none of the Venetian family's business."

"We will fulfill our responsibilities, and we hope you will too."

Chizui glanced at Rendong, then led his men away.

Suri's voice echoed in his mind again: "So, assassinations of judges have happened before, right?"

Yes, there was once a judge from an ordinary background who tried to uphold the absolute law, and then one morning, she was found dead in an alley.

"So what were the investigation results? Suicide after being stabbed more than a dozen times?"

"Of course not." Honeysuckle paused, "Why would you think that? With over a dozen stab wounds, it can't possibly be suicide, can it?"

So what was the verdict?

"The judge accidentally provoked a drunken thug and was subsequently killed by him. The perpetrator was sentenced to several years in prison but was released on bail a few days later."

"Isn't this a pre-arranged assassination?"

"Yes, and it was an assassination staged for the judges' benefit. The families deliberately put on a flawed play to demonstrate their power to the judges, and the judges were powerless to stop it."

Honeysuckle paused for a moment, then added, "However, don't think of judges as too noble. It's just a profession. Not all judges are impartial; the vast majority are just ordinary people with a touch of greed, or even bias."

Was she trying to justify her family's actions?

Volume 1: 25 The strong must thoroughly humiliate the weak!

Su Rui didn't pay attention to Ren Dong's subconscious attempt to justify her family's behavior, and simply added casually:

"The answer is that good judges are right in front of us."

"You're right, but we should get ready."

"What are you preparing? Are you leaving tonight? I thought you would wait until the article was published in the newspaper before you made your move."

'Yes, of course we need to catch them off guard.'

Honeysuckle nodded, silently asking Su Rui, "Do you have any other thoughts?"

"I was just thinking, if the article is published tomorrow, and your behavior is like a crime warning, that's cool."

After Su Rui finished speaking, she seemed to pause for a moment, and then added before Ren Dong spoke again and left:

"And you probably really won't be able to leave until tomorrow."

'Why?'
