Jiang Yu had not participated in the internal struggles of the royal family of Country Y before, but he knew a lot about their internal situation. The Merovingian family had many royal members, including many princes and princesses, and the royal family of Country Y controlled countless jewelry mines and had supreme power. For this reason, many families with royal blood had been fighting openly and secretly for countless years, and it had never stopped.

When two armies clash, one is bound to be injured.

He doesn’t think the benefits he gets from it will outweigh his initial investment, so he never takes sides.

Besides, there are constant struggles within the royal family, the relationships between people are intricate, and people’s hearts are like needles in the sea. He cannot guarantee that the party who succeeds in taking power in such an environment will fulfill his promise. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have killed founding heroes after ascending the throne.

The human heart is the thing that you should never gamble on.

What’s more, once you are involved in such a struggle, it is difficult to get out of it.

But that was Jiang Yu’s idea a few years ago. Now, he has enough ability to escape from the troubled times and doesn’t mind playing a big game.

He curled his lips slightly and said, “I value the Blackthorn family more.”

Li Chen’s eyes widened, “Third brother, are you serious?”

Jiang Yu: “Yeah.”

The Blackthorn family is different from the Merovingian family. The Merovingian family has an inseparable relationship with the royal family. The relationship between the Blackthorn family and the royal family can be traced back to a hundred years ago. At that time, the Blackthorn family controlled the military power, stood out in a battle and then entered the royal palace. Unfortunately, not long after taking power, a riot broke out within the family and the ruler was shot. Then the internal war in the family lasted for decades. So far, it has withdrawn from the top three families in Country Y and has not participated in the royal dispute for nearly ten years.

However, not participating in the royal dispute does not mean not having control over power. Country Y’s largest military force is in the hands of the Blackthorn family.

Li Chen stroked his chin and thought for a while, “But the Blackthorn family has been in decline for so many years. If it were in ancient times, this status would be equivalent to that of a great general. I think it would be a bit difficult for them to seize the throne. Moreover, even if they have great power, they can only obey the orders of the royal family.”

Jiang Yu: “You seem to have forgotten one thing. What was the core of the Blackthorn family’s victory a hundred years ago?”

This time Li Chen answered quickly, he thought of it almost immediately.

“It’s Hess!”

The Hearst Team was a mysterious team many years ago. They had strong survivability in the wild, and every member of them was a hundred times more powerful than mercenaries. They became famous in the royal dispute a hundred years ago, and have been listed as SSS-level dangerous figures by countless dark organizations ever since. Families from all over the world wanted to win them over, but they suddenly disappeared in the past hundred years. Many people speculated that the decline of the Blackthorn family was related to the departure of the Hearst Team.

There are many different opinions from the outside world, but no one knows what the real reason behind this is.

Although the Hearst team is very powerful, no one knows where they have been in the past hundred years. Maybe they were destroyed in an internal riot. Li Chen is still not very sure about this.

“Third brother, Hess has become a legend now. Who knows where they are? Maybe they are all dead and have no descendants. If the Blackthorn family still had the support of Hess, they wouldn’t have fallen to the point of being a younger brother now.”

Jiang Yu just shook his head, “The Hester Team has now become the Hess Organization, and it has not disappeared.”

No matter how it changes, the leader of the Hearst team will always be called Hess, and they will always be loyal to the Blackthorn family.

“But if they haven’t disappeared, then what are they doing now? Why can’t we hear any stories about them anymore?”

Jiang Yu smiled and said casually, “Maybe he’s trying to make a living.”

Li Chen was shocked, “Ah?”

That’s too miserable, from the famous Hess team to the Hess minions who are struggling to survive? Isn’t this almost like a mercenary?

If that’s the case, what advantages does the Blackthorn family have? Li Chen doesn’t quite understand.

But since the third brother said so, he suddenly had some expectations for the Blackthorn family and Hess. After all, in his memory, Hess was an undefeated legend, and as for the Merovingian family, the third brother meant that he would not support either side. If that was the case, then he would not care.

This meal took exceptionally long.

Bai You was fine and found an excuse to go upstairs. Although Cheng Suwan was dissatisfied, she couldn’t blame her in front of so many people. She just gave her a few cold looks secretly. Bai You pretended not to see anything and made her very angry.

After returning to the room, Bai You informed Lu Yu in advance.

She didn’t know what arrangements Cheng Suwan would make in the future. In order to avoid delaying things again and again, she needed to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

After communicating with Lu Yu, she picked up a mirror and looked at herself.

She had to admit that Bai Ran was very similar to her, but according to Cheng Suwan, she was not her biological daughter, while Bai Ran was. So why did they look so similar? Was it just a coincidence? Or was there some truth hidden in it that she didn’t know?
She raised her hand and rubbed her head, not intending to think about it any further, because thinking too much would be fruitless.

The next morning, she and Lu Yu made an appointment at the private nursing home where Lu Yu’s father was.

The private sanatorium was still like last time, with people guarding on both sides, but Lu Yu’s eldest brother was not there this time.

Just when Lu Yu was about to take Bai You in with confidence, the bodyguards on the left and right raised their hands and blocked the two of them outside the door like last time.

Lu Yu blinked and stared at the two in disbelief, “Are you two sure? Why are you blocking people again?”

One of the bodyguards spoke up and explained mechanically, “The eldest master has ordered strangers not to enter the old man’s room.”

Lu Yu raised his hand and pointed at his own face, then at Bai You, “Stranger? This is my girlfriend, who do you think is a stranger? Didn’t we meet last time? How come we are strangers?”

The two bodyguards looked at Lu Yu and then at Bai You.

“.”

“The eldest master said you don’t have a girlfriend.”

Lu Yu: “.”

He paused, feeling embarrassed, but still said stubbornly: “If he says no, then no!”

“Sorry, we only listen to the eldest young master. If you have any questions, you can communicate with the eldest young master directly.”

Lu Yu scratched his head in annoyance. Why was it so difficult to bring someone into a ward? If he wanted to communicate with his elder brother, he would never be able to enter the ward in his life. Qi Feng, who never trusted him, how could he trust the people he brought with him?

If he knew that I had taken the initiative to treat my father’s illness, I don’t know what methods he would use to deal with me.

So how could he know?

Just when she was in a dilemma, Bai You looked at her and suggested, “How about using the same trick you used last time?”

Last time?

Sure enough, after being reminded, Lu Yu remembered it instantly, and his face immediately turned red. (End of this chapter)
