My Mute Bride Chapter 346
Chapter 346 A Familial Organization
L stood outside the men’s room. One man probably didn’t notice the sign and was just about to go
inside, but she stopped him all at once, saying, “Mister.”
Surprised, the man turned to look at her. L pointed to the sign at their feet. “The men’s room is
temporarily unavable for use. You should go to another floor instead.”
“Oh, thank you.”
L watched the man leave before staring at the door to the men’s room for a while. After that, she
turned around and left as well.
The next day, Dillon woke up in the hospital ward and looked at his badly battered and bruised face in
the mirror. He smashed the mirror right away with a loud crash, growling, “Who did it?!”
L stood beside him. “We don’t know. The nightclub’s CCTV went wrongst night, so we didn’t find
anything.”
“You bunch of morons! What’s the use of having you guys?” Dillon yelled furiously. “Find that person no
matter what. I’m gonna chop him to bits to feed the dog!”
L frowned and stepped out of the ward without saying a word.
A little whileter, from inside the ward came the sound of things being smashed; Dillon had smashed
almost every smashable object in the room. After all, he had nevere to grief so badly before in his
whole life.
Hearing the noise inside, the bodyguards trembled with fright. “Miss L, what should we do about
this?”
L didn’t turn a hair. “Since it happened in Jason’s nightclub, he has to take full responsibility. Let him
do the investigation.”
“Yes, Miss L.”
It was afternoon, and one could enjoy the view of the river from the booth next to the French window at
the tenth-floor cafe in Green River Tower. The river water looked murky during the day, but it didn’t hide
the grandeur of the river scenery.
The waiter served two cups of Americanos.
Ryan asked straightforwardly, “What do you want to ask me?”
“About the Jockey Club and Dillon’s background.”
“What for?”
Justin darted a look at him. “Are you so fond of asking questions to which you already know the
answers?”
Ryan cocked an eyebrow. They were both intelligent people, so there was no need to beat around the
bush. “You probably know what the Jockey Club does without me having to tell you. It’s a ce for
debauchery that’s far from the ce it purports to be. To put it nicely, it’s a social hub. Everybody who
goes there does so with their own purposes; they go there to make friends with all kinds of people
that’ll be of help to them.” Being a self-made man, Ryan had made himself a member of the club and
made a lot of friends there back when he needed awork of contacts in his early years, which was
why he was able to take Justin on board the Golden Cruise to search for peoplest time.
Justin’s eyes were tense. “You know that these aren’t what I’m asking about. These are superficial.”
Ryan knitted his brows slightly. “Here’s my advice: don’t ask too much about it. Knowing too much
won’t do you any good.”
“Here’s the background information about Leroy.” Justin pushed the man envelope at hand across
the table. “I believe you’ll no longer think of him as an ordinary little artist after you read this. He’s by no
means ordinary.”
Ryan’s gaze fell on the man envelope.
Justin’s hand kept pressing down on the man envelope, and both him and Ryan knew the reason for
that. They were both businessmen, so this wasn’t an afternoon tea between friends, but a business
deal for information exchange.
Recalling the recent rumors about Jolly’s rtionship with Leroy, Ryan felt somewhat irritable. “Fine, I’ll
tell you everything. Still, I’d like to advise you to not get involved even if you know about it. I’m afraid
you might get yourself in trouble before you’re able to get her out of this.”
“Thanks for the reminder.”
“I really don’t know much about Dillon’s identity. He only came to Riverdale in recent years, but he
became a guest of honor on board the Golden Cruise all of a sudden. I looked into him, but I couldn’t
find anything about him.” Ryan was very thorough. “So, I can only tell you my conjecture based on my
experiences in dealing with those people in the Jockey Club all these years.”
“Shoot.”
Ryan exined, “You probably know that the Jockey Club runs a casino in secret. The Riverdale
Investigation Bureau has been keeping an eye on Randall Baxter, the club’s boss, over the past few
years, but they couldn’t find anything. This is because the Jockey Club is merely a cover for S in
Riverdale.”
“S?”
“It’s an organization, or rather a family, an evil smuggling ring, that specializes in smuggling goods—
mostly medicines—to war-ridden countries to make huge profits.”
War-ridden countries had little to no productivity, and supplies—especially medicines—were scarce
there. As a result, even a box of cold medicine could be sold at an exorbitant price at such ces.
“The Jockey Club gathers all the upper-ss people in Riverdale under the guise of recreation and
socializing. People are greedy, and they always want to make more money. If my guess is correct,
Randall chooses from those people and observes them for a long time on his own initiative. Then, he
waits for a chance to strike, ultimately drawing them into his circle.” Ryan shot a nce at Justin.
“Jefferey, that ex-father-inw of yours, was probably among the earliest bunch of people he recruited.”
“What about Dillon, then? What role does he y in the organization?”
“I only met him a few times. He’s an idiot, but Randall is very respectful to him, so I guess he’s a
member of the family at the top of the organization. He might even be the heir to the organization.”
“Would the organization’s heir be sent out to take risks?”
“Well, here is something you don’t understand. The people there don’t raise their children in thep of
luxury. Only the strongest among them will be respected, so the children have to see the world and
toughen themselves. Otherwise, of so many smuggling and drug-trafficking rings in the world, why do
you think S would be such arge organization that even Interpol has a headache dealing with
them?”
Justin seemed lost in thought.
Ryan continued, “These are just my conjectures, but I’ve been dealing with them for quite a number of
years. And besides, the Riverdale Investigation Bureau has been investigating them recently.
Moreover, there were those diamondsst time. I think Randall and his men are probably gonna run
away, and they’re now trying to transfer their assets.”
“Run away? What about those in Riverdale?”
“Would they care about the fate of their partners once they run away? Even if the Riverdale
Investigation Bureau turns the Golden Cruise upside down by then, I’m afraid they’ll only be able to
arrest useless small fry like Jefferey and your uncle.”
“When are they gonna run away?”
“How could I possibly know that?”
Justin pondered for a moment. “Are those diamonds still in your hands?”
Ryan was startled before he suddenly realized what Justin meant. Those people would definitely have
to transfer their assets before leaving. In other words, the time theyid their hands on these
exorbitantly-priced diamonds would be the time they were going to run away.
“Ryan, you’d better keep watch over those diamonds in your hands.”
“I know that, and I don’t need you to tell me about it. Hey, where are you going?”
Justin left the cafe right away. Rachel was in a dangerous situation right now. After all, no one could tell
what those men would do to those rted to them before leaving Riverdale. I’ve got to stop Rachel
from continuing to deal with them by hook or by crook, he thought. “Hello? Frankie, find out where
Rachel is right now.”
“You mean President Hudson?” Frankie was startled for a moment on the other end of the line. After
coming to his senses, he said in aplicated tone of voice, “President Burton, you’d better put the
matter about her aside first. I’m afraid you have toe back to the office now.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The Burton Group is holding an impromptu board meeting. Someone proposed that you be removed
from your position aspany president.”
Justin frowned. “Did Robin propose it?”
