Since there were enough cars, Gui Li and the others didn't hold back.
"Su Xue, why don't you sit with me? I feel like we hit it off right away," Qin Xiaoya invited Su Xue.
Su Xue felt a bit shy and glanced at Jiang Chen before softly saying, "Can he come along too?"
"Of course! Your classmates can take other cars. Come on, let's get in," Qin Xiaoya replied with a smile.
Once they got into the car, Su Xue noticed an older gentleman in the passenger seat. He smiled kindly at her, and she quickly returned the smile.
On the way, Su Xue and Qin Xiaoya seemed to really connect, chatting about various topics. However, it wasn't long before they arrived at the entrance of Yale University, and Su Xue reluctantly said goodbye to Qin Xiaoya.
"Sister Qin, I might be back in Beijing next year. Can I come find you then?" Su Xue couldn't help but ask as they parted.
"Of course! We'll definitely see each other again," Qin Xiaoya smiled back.
With Qin Xiaoya's reassuring response, Su Xue felt satisfied as she walked into the campus with her classmates, while Jiang Chen accompanied her to the dormitory entrance.
"Su Xue, go home and get some good rest. We'll see each other again in New York this Sunday," Jiang Chen said gently.
Though she felt reluctant to part from Jiang Chen, knowing they would meet again soon made it easier for Su Xue to walk into her dormitory, glancing back three times before finally going inside.
After watching Su Xue enter her dorm, Jiang Chen left the campus as well.
"Young Master, Miss Su Xue is truly a gentle person," Qin Xiaoya remarked with a smile once they were back in the car.
"She has always been gentle," Jiang Chen said, a faint smile appearing on his lips at the mention of Su Xue.
"Young Master, should we head straight back to Angel City or stop by the hotel to rest?" Qin Xiaoya asked.
"Let's go to Murder first," Jiang Chen's expression suddenly darkened.
In New Haven, at the Blue Note Nightclub, explosive music filled the air as a group of men and women danced wildly. In some private rooms, indescribable activities were taking place. This nightclub was under the territory of the 13th Street Brotherhood, where its leader Mo Lang Jie Sheng Han was currently hosting an esteemed guest in one of the private rooms.
This guest was Rod Todaro, the fourth son of the Buffalo Family's Clan Leader, rumored to be in line to become the new Clan Leader himself. Rod Todaro had come not only to ally with Mo Lang Jie Sheng Han but also to search for a woman—a woman who had betrayed him and was said to be hiding in New Haven.
The infighting among these underground family factions was intense, especially during transitions for new Clan Leaders; brother turning against brother was not uncommon.
Mo Lang Jie Sheng Han was a cunning and ruthless man with sharp insight. He agreed to side with Rod Todaro, who promised that once he became the new Clan Leader of the Buffalo Family, he would certainly reward Jie Sheng Han for his support.
The two of them clicked instantly, celebrating in a nightclub at that moment.
“Lord Rod, the woman who betrayed you has been found,” Jie Sheng Han said after receiving a phone call, turning to Rod Todaro.
“Bring her here quickly,” Rod Todaro replied in a deep voice.
Moments later, the door to the private room opened, and two Black men escorted a short-haired white woman into the room.
The short-haired white woman kept her head down as she was brought before Rod Todaro. It was evident that she was in a pitiful state, covered in bruises and trembling slightly, whether from fear or severe injury was unclear.
“Niyona, we meet again. I told you, you can't escape my grasp. Hand over the information and return to my side, and you will still be my beloved woman,” Rod Todaro said, extending his long fingers to lift Niyona's chin.
Niyona looked up; despite her pale face smeared with dirt and blood, her beauty shone through, especially her piercing blue eyes that resembled clear lake water yet were filled with malice and hatred.
“I know you well, and you should know me too, so there's no need for this nonsense. I've already given the evidence of your Buffalo Family's crimes to the reporters and the police. I believe it won't be long before this information is made public,” Niyona sneered. Although her body trembled slightly, her expression showed no fear of death.
“Slap! You wretched woman, did you come close to me just to gather this useless information? How could I have loved you so deeply?” Rod Todaro slapped Niyona across the face, roaring in anger, looking both deranged and terrifying.
“You're a devil; all of you from the Buffalo Family are devils. I hope you all go to hell,” Niyona shouted frantically.
Rod Todaro suddenly calmed down, a sinister smile dancing across his handsome face as if he were a devil himself.
“Do you think this will bring down our Buffalo Family?” Rod Todaro's tone dripped with mockery.
Niyona was momentarily stunned.
“Ha! I'm not going to kill you just yet; you'll see for yourself. Even if the newspaper gets our Buffalo Family's criminal evidence, they won't dare publish it, and as for the police, they won't care either,” Rod Todaro said confidently.
“As long as there is evidence of crime, you cannot escape legal punishment,” Niyona shouted loudly, her roar giving her courage.
“Hmph, how laughable! There are things you probably don't know; this world is changing, and the law cannot punish our Buffalo Family,” Rod Todaro said with a faint smile as he picked up a glass of red wine from the table and swirled it slightly.
“I don’t believe it,” Niyona roared back.
“Time will make you believe it, Niyona. You're so beautiful; how could I bear to kill you? But I will enjoy torturing you slowly. By the way, I received some news a few days ago: over the years, you've been depositing money into an account in Canada every month through your good friend. What is your relationship with the owner of that account?” Rod Todaro suddenly asked.
At those words, Niyona felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she was completely stunned. She had thought she had hidden this matter well but never expected Rod Todaro to catch on to it.
“This is absurd; this matter has nothing to do with me,” Niyona said, forcing herself to remain calm.
“Whether it has anything to do with you will soon be revealed because I've already sent someone to Canada to find them,” Rod Todaro said with a faint smile.
Those words shattered Niyona's last line of defense completely.
"Rod Todaro, let them go. I'll give you the information," Niyona said, her voice filled with despair.
"I'm curious, who are these people that you care so much about? If you’re so concerned, why not just bring them to your side? Don't worry, I will treat them just as I treat you," Rod Todaro replied with a cold smile.
