Chapter 351: Su Ming’s Confidence, and The Organization That Can Truly Solve the Case

Old Morgan’s sudden shift to the main topic caught everyone off guard—except for Su Ming. It was unexpected, to say the least.

In their original assumptions, Old Morgan was supposed to ask a slew of questions and details first, then reluctantly agree to let the Dragon Country Police investigate, under the guise of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

But the reality was… after simply confirming Su Ming’s identity, Old Morgan immediately agreed to the prior arrangement. He even said they could come to the United States as early as tonight.

This alone proved that Su Ming’s earlier deduction was completely accurate.

At first, Old Morgan might have chosen to trust the New York Police Department, hoping they could apprehend the fugitive J. But after the NYPD failed to produce any results—and even made mistakes—it was inevitable that he would turn to someone else. Bringing the person who murdered his grandson to justice had clearly become one of Old Morgan’s top priorities.

So, once the video of Little Morgan being tortured and killed was released, it was bound to fuel Old Morgan’s fury and deepen his dissatisfaction with the NYPD.

Of course, Su Ming had originally predicted that all of this would unfold over the course of about three days.

What he hadn’t expected was just how utterly incompetent the NYPD would be. They hadn’t even properly verified whether the body was truly J before rushing to claim credit with Old Morgan, accelerating the entire process.

The fact that they could head to the United States as early as tonight made Lin Tian and Liu Yang exchange a glance, their eyes brimming with barely contained excitement.

Crossing borders to apprehend a criminal in the United States was an unprecedented breakthrough. Especially after establishing contact—and potentially a cooperative relationship—with Morgan Financial Group, this move would send a powerful message to certain individuals.

It would make one thing crystal clear: even if you flee to the capitalist haven of the United States with pockets full of cash, you can no longer be certain of your safety.

After all, no matter how wealthy you are, you can’t compare to Morgan Financial Group.

These people would have to start worrying—if they really angered the Dragon Country Police, would even the United States be safe for them, given the Morgan Financial Group’s involvement?

In the long run, this cross-border operation held tremendous significance.

Of course, that depended on one thing: K had to be captured and brought to justice in time. Otherwise, the entire operation would lose its meaning, and the long-term impact would be for nothing.

But before that, the outcome of this negotiation still had to be determined, along with the finer details.

Lin Tian and the others were also curious—just how confident was Su Ming about this mission to the United States? And roughly how many days would it take to capture K?

…

At this moment.

Upon hearing Old Morgan’s question, Su Ming didn’t show the slightest hesitation. Instead, he took a few seconds to think seriously, then responded with confidence.

“CEO Morgan.”

“To be honest, if you’re asking me how long it will take to find the one who killed Little Morgan under these circumstances, I can’t give you a precise answer.”

“Because, to me, the United States is still a completely unfamiliar country.”

“And since the official organizations differ, the level of assistance they can provide will inevitably vary. In other words…”

“I’m concerned that while searching for the killer, the official organizations in the United States might not be able to offer me the support I need. At the very least, they won’t be able to cooperate with me the way they do in Dragon Country, where I can get accurate answers immediately no matter what lead I’m pursuing.”

“So I can’t give you a timeline. But what I can guarantee, one hundred percent, is that I will absolutely—”

Before Su Ming could finish.

Old Morgan lightly tapped the table, interrupting him with a calm, unreadable expression.

“I understand what you’re trying to say.”

“But I don’t particularly like your approach. If you need full cooperation from the New York Police Department, you can just ask me directly.”

“There’s no need to treat this like a business negotiation, probing my limits step by step, testing how much help I’m willing to provide.”

“Just like how, earlier, you added screams to a video that originally had no audio, just to push me into agreeing to the deal.”

“To be honest, if this had been in the past, I would never have allowed you to set foot on U.S. soil for such a deceptive tactic.”

“But I have to admit, it was effective. Even though the screams were added later, they still helped me imagine just how desperate and agonizing Little Morgan must have felt in his final moments.”

“No one has ever dared to do something like this to Morgan Financial Group. Every extra day this killer remains alive is something I cannot tolerate.”

At this point.

Old Morgan in the video slowly closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened them again with a cold gleam and gestured to someone beside him.

The next moment.

Walker, whose face was swollen like a pig’s head from being slapped, appeared in the video frame.

Even in that state, he still wore a fawning smile, clearly terrified that Old Morgan might continue to take his anger out on him.

But Old Morgan didn’t spare him a single glance. He kept his eyes on the screen and spoke in a flat, measured tone.

“This is Walker, Chief of the New York Police Department.”

“Due to his earlier… less-than-satisfactory performance, he received a special kind of reward from me.”

“So I can guarantee that once you arrive in New York, you’ll receive assistance on par with, if not far exceeding, what you’d get in Dragon Country.”

“During your pursuit of the killer who murdered Little Morgan, no matter what kind of destruction or complications you cause, Morgan Financial Group will take care of it.”

“This includes, but is not limited to: opening fire in crowded areas, high-speed chases through city streets, demolition operations, and so on.”

“If you’re lacking suitable weapons, once you arrive in New York, I’ll have someone take you to the general arms company under Morgan Financial Group.”

“They have all kinds of cutting-edge rifles and specialized anti-terror equipment, all of which you may use without restriction.”

“I can say with confidence… as long as you don’t do anything excessively outrageous or completely uncontrollable during the manhunt, I can cover for you.”

“Just like you were worried earlier… about possibly not getting help from the police. I’ve already given you more than enough assurance.”

At that moment.

The pig-faced Walker nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“Once you arrive in New York, I will absolutely provide full, unrestricted support.”

“All of the New York Police Department’s equipment and personnel will be at your disposal. As long as you can find the killer quickly, that’s all that matters.”

“Don’t worry. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to our cooperation.”

After Walker finished his desperate attempt to regain some favor.

Old Morgan once again looked toward the camera, tapping his finger lightly on the table as he said in a low voice.

“I’ve cleared away all your concerns and given you every assurance.”

“Now… it’s your turn to give me an answer. How long? How long do I have to wait to get the answer I want?”

Looking at Old Morgan’s expression, and the pig-faced Chief Walker behind him in the video…

Su Ming understood perfectly well—this wasn’t just Old Morgan’s guarantee that they would receive full support with no resistance.

It was also a threat.

He could meet every demand, but if the results weren’t satisfactory, then the current video of Chief Walker served as a warning.

The more privileges they requested now, the more unimaginable the consequences would be if they failed to complete the mission later.

However, Su Ming wasn’t the least bit worried. After several indirect encounters with K, he was already eighty percent confident that he could drag these people out of the shadows in a short amount of time.

Still, to ensure there was enough time to solve the case and to prevent any unexpected incidents, Su Ming responded seriously.

“Seven days.”

“If it were just the killer who murdered Little Morgan, I’m confident I could dig him out within three days.”

“But now, we’re also dealing with a high-IQ criminal who fled from Dragon Country, as well as a potentially massive criminal organization, The Organization. That will definitely extend the timeline.”

“Of course, what I’m promising is to find the real culprit with one hundred percent certainty, not just pin it on some scapegoat.”

“I can also guarantee, CEO Morgan, that no matter which member of The Organization you turn to, or whatever so-called genius detective you hire, none of them can match my confidence. They might not even be able to find the killer’s trail.”

“But in seven days, I’ll bring the killer right to you!”
