Chapter 1747: Making Preparations

"Don't get agitated yet. Even if your father's previous ideals and aspirations were different, so much time has passed; it is impossible for him to remain unchanged," Chen Yu said. "Therefore, you must be mentally prepared."

Chuan Naizi remained in silence. The things Chen Yu spoke of were not impossible to happen; her father was a politician.

Even if he were different from others, how long could he hold onto that?

"Alright, you surely don't want to believe what I'm telling you," Chen Yu smiled and said. "Just keep it in mind. Perhaps one day you will discover that your father has become very much a stranger; you need to be mentally prepared."

"I will be careful, thank you." Chuan Naizi nodded.

After seeing Chuan Naizi off, Kawasaki Changye immediately came knocking. He now wore a look of disappointment and frustration: "Mr. Chen..."

"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy right now?" Chen Yu looked at Kawasaki Changye with some surprise.

This guy was already the future heir-designate of the Kawasaki Family; why did he not look very happy? Could it be that some change had occurred?

"I just came from my father's place. He told me that even if Kawasaki Ye is dead, the future of the Kawasaki Family will not be handed to me," Kawasaki Changye said through gritted teeth. "Because he has more than one illegitimate child."

"Oh, is that so?" Chen Yu said thoughtfully. "Even the most careful plan has a flaw. For a person like your father, it is impossible for him not to have illegitimate children outside; it's just that your status was an exception, allowing you to enter the Kawasaki Family directly."

"Then what should I do next?" Kawasaki Changye said bitterly. "I never imagined he would still have such a trick up his sleeve. Although that brother of mine, whose name I don't even know, is currently less than ten years old, if he is given ten years, wouldn't he just be another Kawasaki Ye?"

"Ten years?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Don't you think that time is a bit too long? Once you obtain something, you should grasp it firmly in your hands. No matter what happens, you cannot let go. Opportunities are fleeting."

"Would you give him ten years to grow up?"

"No." A sharp glint flashed in Kawasaki Changye's eyes. That's right, no matter who that unknown brother is, he is just a child right now; what kind of waves could he stir up?

"But the problem now is that I don't know who he is. My father will definitely guard his identity tightly. After all, my father already suspects that Kawasaki Ye's death has something to do with me."

"That is not a problem. It's just investigating a person; the Dusong Association can easily solve it," Chen Yu said calmly. "The only question is, what will you do after finding that half-brother of yours?"

Kawasaki Changye thought for a moment. He stretched out his hand, made a slashing gesture, and then cast an inquiring look at Chen Yu.

"That is your business," Chen Yu said calmly. "I am responsible for finding the person for you; as for how to resolve it, you decide for yourself."

"However, I will give you a word of warning: your father dealt ruthlessly with your uncles back then, which is how he leaped to become the successor of the Legendary Family. His hands are stained with the blood of his brothers. If he can kill his own brothers, he can do the same to his own sons. You must be careful."

"I know these things; he has never been a kind person." Kawasaki Changye's expression darkened slightly. Actually, Chen Yu didn't need to tell him these things; he had long since prepared for them. After all, someone who could become the successor of the Kawasaki Family and carry the banner of the Santai Association was definitely no pushover.

And if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must be ruthless in your methods; otherwise, you will never stand firm.

"Hmm, the Dusong Society has already responded." Chen Yu picked up his phone; there was already a message from Wang Yu on it. Kawasaki Dao's illegitimate children—there is more than one.

"Your father's illegitimate children, those whose identities haven't been made public, there is more than one." Chen Yu forwarded the information in his hand to Kawasaki Changye. "These are the files on those brothers of yours. As for what to do, that is all your business."

"I know what to do. Thank you, Mr. Chen." Kawasaki Changye glanced at the information, his eyes gradually turning cold. He slowly put away his phone, bowed deeply to Chen Yu, and then left.

"Mr. Chen, are you teaching him to kill?" After Kawasaki Changye left, Zhao Ping appeared from the side.

"I didn't incite him to kill. I didn't mention a single word of it just now. Whether to kill or not is his own decision," Chen Yu said leisurely.

"Then will he go and kill?" Zhao Ping wore a look of confusion; how did he feel like Chen Yu was inducing him?

"Haha, what do you think?" Chen Yu laughed. "Never underestimate human nature, because it is the hardest thing in this world to fathom. Moreover, in their group, it is very common for people to fight until they are bloodied for a bit of profit. Kawasaki Changye has suffered enough cold shoulders from the family members over the past few years, so now, as long as you give him a chance, he will grasp it without hesitation."

"It's really too cruel." Zhao Ping couldn't bear to look. "Are these wealthy families all like this?"

"That's right. It's not just the wealthy families here in Fusang; it's the same back home," Chen Yu said. "No one is willing to be the 'Lao Er'; everyone wants to hold the power and be high above. In order to achieve their goals, brothers killing each other and fathers and sons turning against one another is nothing new."

"This is human nature, something that is difficult for anyone to fathom."

"It's fortunate that I was born into an ordinary family with not much profit to fight over, otherwise..." Zhao Ping shook his head; he truly couldn't go on.

"Are ordinary families any different?" Chen Yu sighed slightly. "It's just that when brothers turn against each other, at most they go to court and never see each other again."

"But in wealthy families, it's different. If both sides don't fight until one is dead or the other is finished, they won't stop."

"Mr. Chen, this kid's brothers should be quite young. Can he really take action against such small children? Isn't that a bit cruel?" Zhao Ping asked.

"Whether it's cruel or not is no longer our business," Chen Yu said. "Some people are born devoid of humanity, so let them kill each other."

Zhao Ping nodded. He was indeed not good at these matters, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Where is Wu Bo?" Chen Yu asked.

"He just went out to meet with someone lurking here," Zhao Ping said. "He should be back soon."

"Why didn't you go with him?" Chen Yu frowned.

"I was going to follow, but he said this mission wasn't convenient for me to know about. I also know there are confidentiality regulations, so I stayed behind." Zhao Ping estimated the time. "Strange, he should have been back by now."
