Chapter 414 Blood-Related Family
"Tell me more." Jiang Yue said, not even a crack was seen in her perfect facial expression. However, Fu Jin, who was next to her, felt her body briefly still when she heard the Vercello family’s name.
"Mr. Li... of course, we know about the Vercello Family, who doesn’t?" Fu Jin answered, as he slowly put his arms around Jiang Yue’s waist; a gesture that instantly made her feel secure.
Seeing Jiang Yue continue smiling and Fu Jin’s friendly tone, Ashton eventually relaxed and continued, "Not many people know this but the Vercello family is involved in pharmaceuticals and connected to a lot of hospitals abroad. No one actually knows who they are or what they look like, but there are some rumors underworld. It is rumored that they are not a blood-related family but a group of influential people from all around the world. Prominent doctors, lawyers, presidents, tycoons, you name it."

"Well... it is rumored that the Vercello family has a hidden establishment, which has developed a drug that boosts strength and promotes faster healing. That medicine became a commodity in underworld... It is something that is always sold out and is highly sought after, especially by people who have ties with criminal groups."
"So, the Li Family got a hold of it and just gave it to some of their subordinates?" Fu Jin asked.
In response, Ashton nodded. "Yes."
Jiang Yue did not answer Ashton, she lowered her head in deep contemplation. The accident that her mother had caused before keep flashing in her mind. Was it possible that...
"Ashton, you said that this establishment is a secret, right?" She asked and continued when she saw Ashton nod. "Do you think... no, nevermind." She shook her head. "Anyway... I was just interested. This is nothing but a casual question."
Ashton immediately understood Jiang Yue’s words. "I understand, Miss Jiang... the Vercello Family is not something that you can offend. Though, they say that they are made from powerful figures all over the world. It is still ruled by Lady Vercello. She might be a little old now but... She is still as ruthless as before. No one will dare to underestimate her."
Jiang Yue just raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh? You seemed to be very familiar with these people."
"I spent a lot of time dealing with the people from the underworld. Actually, more than ten years already. I have heard a lot of things." After observing Jiang Yue’s expression, he continued, "You seem to be interested in the Vercello Family, you can ask me for more information. I will do my best to answer any of your questions."
"We are not particularly interested in the Vercello family. We are more interested in this miraculous medicine that you are talking about." It was Fu Jin who answered Ashton. They couldn’t let anyone think that they were asking about the Vercello Family. action
Fu Jin’s thinking was actually simple. Not many people knew that Jiang Yue was a Vercello. However, some of the Vercello Family’s enemies might know about that. They couldn’t take any risks.
He was sure that those people knew about Jiang Yue’s disinterest in high status and otherworldly things. Her refusal to be a Queen was already enough to prove that. If they got a hold of Jiang Yue asking about the Vercello Family, then wouldn’t they misinterpret it as interest towards the Matriarch Position?

If Fu Jin’s guess was right, the only reason they were reluctant to hurt Jiang Yue at that moment, was because some people from the Vercello Family were watching over her. It made them reluctant to take actions.
Fu Jin knew that he couldn’t break this brief moment of peace they had at the moment. Not when a single question could change everything and endanger her life even more.
"Of course... Of course..." Ashton smiled at them while chastising himself in silence. Why would they be interested in the Vercello Family? Of course, they were eyeing the medicine that everyone wanted. "Well, that medicine is something that is auctioned every now and then. You can actually visit some well-known underworld cities and ask around about it."
"Well, that leads us to the second thing that I want." Jiang Yue lifted her head, directly giving him a smile.
"Sure... what is it, Miss Jiang?" He also smiled at her as he slowly composed himself. He might just be overthinking things. Jiang Yue’s question should be a harmless one. He should not feel afraid of her smile. He instantly calmed himself inwardly before sipping the tea that was served earlier.
However, who would have thought that Jiang Yue’s next words would make him spit out the tea...
