Chapter 867 - The Vetrov Report Part II
Iris couldn’t sit still so she got up and started pacing around the room. Nobody stopped her. The two men remained unmoving. Lu Zihao sat by the window and gazed at the dark night outside. His stillness, however, strongly indicated that his other senses were alert and focused on everything that was happening in the room.
As for Jin Liwei, there was no change in his expression at first. He read every word written in the report carefully and tried to absorb the information as naturally as possible without rushing anything in order to understand all of the content as much as he could. He tackled the report in a cold and logical manner in the same way that he studied a textbook back when he was still a student.
His finger swiped to the next page in a slow but steady way. He took his own sweet time and didn’t rush. This was something that needed to be digested in a measured fashion.
The first part of the report provided a summary about the Vetrov organization. He wasn’t that knowledgeable about the international underworld but even he had heard about the former reigning criminal organization, the Vetrovs. They were so infamous that several documentaries, fictional books, films and TV shows had been based on them throughout the years.
Despite this, no media production could claim an accurate picture of the Vetrov organization’s internal workings or the true extent of its power and influence throughout the world. Those who attempted to infiltrate the organization’s ranks with the intention of exposing its operations had all been either assassinated or had mysteriously disappeared, never to be found again.
The organization was so powerful that the international authorities seemed helpless against them. Any actions they tried throughout the past decades to catch and prosecute its members all failed.
Who would’ve thought that such a formidable criminal organization which appeared almost invincible for many decades finally fell a few years ago?
When the Vetrov organization was defeated, it became big news all over the world. However, any detailed information about how it happened weren’t released to the general public and were labelled as classified information.
Despite the enormity of the event and its massive effects on the international underworld, the news about the Vetrov organization’s defeat only lasted for a few days before it disappeared. Those who were sharp and knew better could sense that the authorities were all suppressing anything concerning about the Vetrovs. As a result, the once powerful reigning organization in the criminal underworld became forgotten by many in a short period of time.
Jin Liwei was confused as to why he was reading about this fearsome criminal organization. A frightening possibility entered his mind as the pieces slowly fell into place. However, he tamped his guess for now and focused on reading the report.
The more he read, however, the more shocked he became. His heart thundered inside his chest. It was only his great self-control that prevented his hand from trembling as he swiped to the next page.
Finally, he reached the part about the Vetrov family. There was a long line of Vetrov family members who contributed to making their organization greater after every generation. Then he reached the last family line before they were defeated.
Patriarch: Arman Anatolyevich Vetrov
Matriarch: Evgenia Yuryevna Vetrova
The summaries about these two people gave Jin Liwei cold sweat. How frightening! Even the worst fictional villains in books, movies and TV shows couldn’t compare to these two.
He paused for a bit in order to regain his composure. If he didn’t know beforehand that the Vetrov organization was indeed a real existence, he would’ve thought that the report he was reading right now was fiction. In addition, this was a report created by his baby girl, a genius world-class hacker who already created similar and frighteningly accurate reports for him in the past.
Once he calmed down again, he swiped to the next page and froze upon reading the new entry.
Son and heir: Nikolai Armanovich Vetrov
His eyes contracted as he read the summary under the name. He looked at Lu Zihao who didn’t move from his position by the window. The man looked back at him with an unreadable expression.
Jin Liwei looked down at the report again. His hands holding the tablet started to tremble.
A man like this—no, this kind of person was a devil! A devil like this now possessed his fifth brother’s body?! His carefree and fun-loving fifth brother was gone, only to be replaced by such evil?!
"Heh~ It seems like you now know what kind of man now lives as your beloved fifth brother." Lu Zihao flashed a devilish smile but his eyes were cold.
"Big Brother, please...." Iris said in a soft, pleading voice.
"What do you say, Third Brother?"
"Don’t call me that!" Jin Liwei hissed.
Iris flinched at his tone but he didn’t see her reaction.
Lu Zihao threw his head back and laughed. The sound was utterly demonic like it came straight from hell. Then he stopped and looked at his sister. "Look. I told you this was a horrible idea. He hates us now. Everyone hates the Vetrovs because we’re evil."
She held onto the table next to her for support, suddenly finding it hard to breathe while her heart hammered inside her chest. She stared wide-eyed at Jin Liwei and felt afraid that he would hate her, her brother, and where they came from.
"God, no!" Jin Liwei exclaimed and shot up from his seat when he finally noticed his baby girl’s expression. "Evelina, your brother is wrong."
He walked towards her but she stepped back and away from him. He stopped and cursed at himself for his careless reaction just now. After making his expression gentle, he stretched out his hand towards her.
"Evelina, come."
She shook her head and stepped back again.
"Come here, love."
Almost half a minute passed without her moving. Nevertheless, Jin Liwei didn’t retrieve his hand. He continued to reassure her with the sincerity of his expression until she eventually walked towards him one hesitant step at a time.
