Chapter 320: The Only Grandson Is Dead, and Lan Cai’er Captured the Key Footage

Morgan Family?

When Ghost uttered that name, Su Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Morgan Family was indeed an immensely powerful financial conglomerate. It had twice rescued the United States from economic crises, and the number of companies under its investment and control was staggering.

In fact, even decades ago, being called the world’s creditor was enough to demonstrate the Morgan Family’s strength.

Even today, in the so-called beacon of capitalism, the United States, the power and influence of the Morgan Family remained terrifyingly vast.

Or rather—

In a nation that epitomizes pure capitalism, it’s these elite conglomerates holding vast wealth that are the true masters of the United States.

Even though many major U.S. financial groups have declined in recent years, the Morgan Financial Group, which controls nearly 30 trillion dollars in assets, still has the power to steer the nation’s direction. It’s even capable of influencing the outcome of elections across all political parties.

At the very least, a large portion of the funding required for U.S. presidential campaigns comes from them.

Compared to the mysterious Rothschild Family often seen in street literature, it’s the Morgan Family that truly impacts the lives of ordinary people.

Although the Morgan Financial Group didn’t originate from Jewish roots—it began as a small coffee shop—it has since been absorbed into the Jewish financial sphere.

After all, being Jewish is no longer just about ethnicity or bloodline. It has evolved into a kind of religious belief, or perhaps more accurately, a social class.

With immense wealth and the added influence of Jewish identity, plus investments spread across the globe, the Morgan Family’s power needs no further elaboration.

…

At that moment.

Sitting at the interrogation table, Lin Tian immediately understood something when he heard Ghost suddenly mention the Morgan Family. He spoke up.

“Ghost.”

“Is Lan Cai’er’s case connected to the Morgan Group?”

“Explain it clearly. Don’t play games with me. As long as you’re honest and forthcoming, I promise things will go easier for you later.”

This was also the question lingering in Su Ming’s mind.

What exactly had happened that could tie a criminal organization connected to K to the colossal Morgan Family?

And whatever it was, it was serious enough that they felt compelled to eliminate Lan Cai’er to keep things quiet.

Hearing the somewhat reassuring words from Su Ming and Lin Tian, Ghost finally relaxed a little. He no longer intended to play tricks.

After all—

Su Ming’s earlier threats had left a deep impression.

He was genuinely afraid that Su Ming, in pursuit of real intel and leads, would ignore the bullet wound in his arm and resort to brutal interrogation methods.

At the same time, Ghost had clearly realized that Su Ming’s skills in criminal investigation and deduction were far beyond the norm. If he tried to hide anything, there was a high chance he’d be found out.

After quickly sorting through his thoughts, Ghost, his pale face still wearing a fawning expression, began to speak again.

“When I killed Lan Cai’er before…”

“I was worried that K would cut ties and get rid of me too, so I forced Lan Cai’er to tell me what secret she had uncovered that made her a target.”

“She told me… their graduation project team was filming at New York Harbor when they accidentally captured footage of the only grandson of the Morgan Family’s current head being kidnapped and thrown into the sea.”

“And the people involved seemed to be from a high-end nightclub in New York—or rather, calling it a brothel or a den of debauchery would be more accurate.”

“Because later, when I looked into it, I found that this so-called luxury nightclub was actually running an underground escort business.”

“Famous American basketball and baseball stars often frequented the place. It was common knowledge that they’d leave with different women every night and head back to their hotels.”

“Now, I don’t know how K got involved with that brothel organization, but what I do know is… K was extremely concerned about this matter and that organization.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ordered me to take care of Lan Cai’er, and even went so far as to mediate with that casino on my behalf, making sure I wouldn’t be hunted down across borders.”

“About two weeks ago, when I was browsing the dark web, I happened to see…”

“The head of the Morgan Family had issued a global announcement in his own name, offering a million dollars to anyone who could provide clues about his grandson’s whereabouts—regardless of whether he was found.”

“And if someone could bring his grandson back, dead or alive, they’d receive ten million dollars.”

“He even appealed to all criminal organizations around the world, saying that if they returned his grandson safely, he would pretend the incident never happened and offer one hundred million dollars in funding.”

“But if… it turned out his grandson had been killed, then no matter who the culprit was, they would pay the ultimate price. He swore on the Morgan Family’s name.”

“I guess after all this time without any leads, the old man has grown desperate. He doesn’t care about bad publicity anymore and just issued this bold global bounty.”

“Officers, that’s the real reason Lan Cai’er was killed.”

“I swear… I absolutely didn’t hide anything, not even the slightest bit. And besides, there’s no reason to keep anything hidden now.”

After hearing this,

Chen Sheng didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately pulled out his phone from his pocket, dialed the number for the Criminal Investigation Technology Section, and issued a clear order.

“Run a check for me right away.”

“Information on the Morgan Family in the United States, especially about the current head of the family and his only grandson. I want a full compilation of all news and reports related to them over the past six months.”

“Oh, and also filter out the names and addresses of all high-end nightclubs in New York for me.”

“This information is critical. I need it as fast as possible.”

After he finished speaking,

Su Ming, who was sitting beside him, lightly tapped the back of his left hand with his right index finger. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke with pointed meaning.

“Families like this—major financial conglomerates—place immense importance on bloodline purity.”

“Several decades ago, they even resorted to intermarriage among close relatives to preserve that purity. So in each generation, the number of descendants is usually quite small.”

“Now their only grandson, the heir to the family, has been killed. The Morgan Group will be thrown into a frenzy of rage.”

“Even if we’re not talking about a capitalist country like the United States, even here in our Dragon Country, if a top-tier wealthy heir were kidnapped or murdered, it would cause an unimaginable uproar.”

“But…”

At this point,

Su Ming suddenly stopped speaking. His gaze turned cold as he stared directly at the cowering Ghost, his face expressionless.

“Ghost, did you forget something?”

“The video Lan Cai’er recorded—you still have a copy of it, don’t you? Where is it?”
