Louis sighed. He realized how careless he had been this time. There were surveillance cameras installed in the corridor and bridal lounge, and the surveillance camera in the bridal lounge being unplugged should have raised his suspicion.
Third Young Master Ye had a few men guard the door while Black Eagle and company guarded the outer perimeter that was not important. Given who Louis was, it was unlikely for him to not make it past the outer perimeter. Little did Louis expect Third Young Master Ye to deliberately pull that off.
While it was not a masterstroke that startled him, he was still overconfident and forgot how meticulous and scheming Third Young Master Ye was and fell into his trap.
Even if he was not discovered outside, he should have discovered that something was amiss in the bridal lounge. How would Third Young Master Ye allow the bride to remain in the bridal lounge alone? If he decided to act, the bridal lounge was the best possible place.
As the realization of defeat dawned upon him, he closed his pitch-dark eyes. He would not escape from this.
Ye Wei’s gaze landed on Louis. She leaned against the railing and seemingly laughed and mocked him. Had he, once the godfather of the Italian Mafia who called the shots, did not appear in City A, nobody would have learned that he was Ye Yukun and he would have still led the Mafia.
What a pity…
The more ambitious one became, the less one gained and the more one lost instead.
She turned her head, lost in thought. The sea breeze blew against her long hair as she thought of Mo Jue. ‘Mo Jue, what about you? Would you, with Louis as a precedent, follow his path to end up losing more than what you gained?’
‘You never have anything to begin with. What else would you be left with if you still lose?’
When she knew that Louis came to City A, she was once again disappointed with Mo Jue, knowing that it was the brothers’ at work. From the beginning to the end, they were the masterminds behind everything.
They were hell-bent on removing the First Terrorist Organization and the Dragon Gate. They had never really given up their ambition of world domination. She… hated such a Mo Jue!
If one had too much power in their hearts, they would have little room for other things in their hearts. Even she was a pawn in their endgame. Even she, however smart, could no longer distinguish between what was real and what was not.
As Ye Wei quietly looked at the surface of the water, she smiled. When she initially recalled the scene on the beach, she was slightly touched. But that feeling was long lost.
She could no longer tell whether that scene on the beach was real or not. As to what he told her and vice versa on the island, both of them were trying to make out how genuine the other person was. He was tired, and so was she.
If he was out to manipulate her, she was not going to spare him. Hence, the vicious cycle was perpetuated.
The only thing she could be certain about Mo Jue was how unguarded he was and how he yielded to her without question those seven days. He was afraid that she would leave him and could not bear to harm her.
Him calling her ‘wifey’ still resonated in her ears, and she knew that that Mo Jue was the real Mo Jue.
But that was not a complete Mo Jue. It was not entirely him but a side of him—the childlike side of Mo Jue who was three to four years old. Given how long one would live, she could not give up her entire life for him just because of those seven days.
Ye Wei was not so fallen to simply remember him for how he was during those seven days.
“Did the Mo brothers tell you anything else?” Ye Wei laughed gorgeously as though the pain that flashed through her did not exist. Ye Wei was still the merciless Ye Wei who lived freely and would not wait for anybody.
“Ye Wei, you are destined to lose if you develop feelings for him,” Louis said with a sinister look. As he hated the Mo brothers more than anybody else, he knew their schemes and viciousness much better than anybody else. Louis looked at Ye Wei and said, “Since I am not going to make it past today, I will tell you, in no uncertain terms, that he is a heartless person. He has his reasons for drawing close to you.”
Ye Wei recalled what happened at the beach and in City A two months ago, and she was shocked. Was that shot intended to drop her guard? Anger soared from the depths of her heart. She tightly bit her lip and suppressed the rage within.
What was the reason they had succeeded so easily that day?
She knew that her third brother went to the ports and Louis was definitely there, so she felt that was no imminent danger. Given that Mo Jue was still wounded, and how Mo Ye acting alone was no guarantee for success…
What if… he was not even injured?
Ye Wei’s thoughts were scrambled. Ye Wei, calm down. Calm down and stop overthinking. She desperately ordered herself to block those memories and analyses.
It was muscle memory for her.
Those from their organization, regardless of the pain and agony they were in, would reasonably analyze the situation until they achieved clarity. She somehow knew that it was probably a scam after all.
Given how Big Boss Mo had indeed really doted on Mo Jue, he would not deliberately back-face him even if Mo Jue lost his gun. If he did that when Mo Jue was still alive, Eleven firing would mean both brothers dying. Given how calm and sensible Big Boss Mo was, he was definitely not capable of doing something like this.
She tried to recall what happened then, but she could not figure out what was wrong. The only possibility was that the Mo Jue in her embrace was still lucid. Had Eleven dared to fire, he would have pre-empted her and fired first…
Coldness descended upon her, and her laughter became more alluring. This, from the start, was a ploy!
“Louis, how did the two of them end up under you?” Ye Wei endured the feeling of stabbing needles as she asked.
“They saved me,” Louis said and broke into a cold laugh. “That, in fact, was a trap the brothers had set up. They arranged for somebody to assassinate me but saved me at the same time. They managed to approach me for the want of the Mafia. I have no idea where the hell they were from.”
“You are really stupid,” Ye Wei said. Had Chu Li and Black J been in Louis’ position, this definitely would not have happened. They would not allow outsiders to so easily infiltrate the core of their group.
However much they trusted them, they would not allow that to happen.
Louis’ quick capitulation in those few months was largely related to the people whom he did not know.
“I admit that I have lost,” Louis flatly replied. “Kill me, damn it!”
Ye Wei looked at him and laughed. She said, “My dearest brother, my nephew will hunt me down if I kill you. As you owe him something, he will personally take care of you.”
Louis closed his eyes in desperation and softly said, “Wei Wei, kill me on account that we are siblings!”
“Even if you are my old man, I am not going to fulfill your wish.” Ye Wei cut to the chase. “I only acknowledge one brother my whole life.”
Ye Wei suddenly heard the sound of speedboats approach. She turned around and suddenly flicked her wrist to reveal three silver needles. With the silver needles in hand, three silver needles accurately nailed Louis in his wrist and chest.
Louis lost all his strength and dropped his gun onto the deck with a ‘thump’. He clutched his wrist and screamed agonizingly.
Ye Wei laughed and said, “I can responsibly tell you that I hate hostages who do not know their place and try to create trouble. They are extremely amateurish.”
If one wanted to learn to manipulate somebody, take a leaf from Mo Jue who was able to manipulate her with his life. Given how close he was, he was clearly asking for trouble. Ye Wei took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed him against the railing and stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth.
“Don’t you dare to die until I allow you to.” Ye Wei laughed and walked away. Third Young Master Ye, the young kid, and the others reached. There were only six of them, including Third Young Master Ye’s family, Black Eagle, and Eleven.
“Black Eagle, get him over here.”
“On it!”
Ye Wei walked over easily and said, “Third brother, third sister-in-law, is the ceremony over?”
Cheng Anya nodded and smiled. Although she had changed into a white dress, she had not removed her makeup, which made for a beautiful and innocent her that stirred hearts. After Ye Wei was drugged, she was extremely worried. Eleven, however, told her that it was not a big deal so that she would participate in the wedding with a peace of mind.
As she walked towards him during the wedding, her thoughts were all about Ye Wei. He said that they would immediately look for Ye Wei after the wedding. They were afraid that Ye Wei would have already subdued Louis by then.
With her mind at ease, it was not long after the church ceremony did she change her clothes in the car. Ye Wei’s Rose Tear contained a locating device, so they quickly learned of her location. When they heard Ye Wei say ‘let’s go’ en route, Third Young Master Ye was already certain that Ye Wei would be able to subdue Louis.
“Wei Wei, thank you!”
“Why these pleasantries? We are a family! As long as this scoundrel is not dead, I am not at peace.” Ye Wei shrugged her shoulders. Black Eagle brought Louis over and cuffed him against the handrails. Everybody drove the boat into the open seas.
Ye Chen coldly looked at Louis and said, “Ye Yukun, to think that you would end up like this. Humph!”
In terms of ability, Louis was nowhere near Ye Wei. Even the few men he had on the ship were not Ye Wei’s match. The only fear was that there were explosives on the ship.
“I checked the ship, and all is clear.” Ye Wei laughed.
The young kid took out a gun and fired twice at Louis’ kneecaps. Louis screamed agonizingly and his voice spread across the open oceans that quickly dissipated them.
He then quickly fired a shot into each of Louis’ wrists. The young kid’s eyes became darker as he took aim again and fired a shot into each of his thighs. Louis endured five shots, but his agonizing screams were nothing short of terrifying.
Blood flowed down and coursed on the ground.
Her son fired in a posture and manner that was comparable to professionals. Cheng Anya looked at him in shock. His especially cold gaze sent a chill down their spines.
“Damn, Ning Ning, your accuracy has improved a lot.” Ye Wei whistled as she saw Louis bawling like a dog without its master on the ground. She felt good.
Ning Ning wanted to repay him with what Nuo Nuo had experienced, so he avoided his heart and kept him alive.
Third Young Master Ye did not say much and allowed the young kid to vent out. If he did not kill Louis, the hatred in his heart would not be quenched. The young kid had a murderous intent on his face and remained silent throughout. When he was in Rome, he had Bai Ye teach him how to use guns since he wanted to repay him tenfold, perhaps a hundredfold, of what Xu Nuo had experienced.
On top of him, he would not spare Blue Wolf as well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The young kid fired another eight shots at him in succession and avoided his critical parts so that he would lie on the deck, wishing he was dead. He only kept his gun after he was done.
It was Cheng Anya’s first time seeing the young kid act like this, and she was clearly not used to it. The young kid then walked over to Louis and kicked him. “You’re not dead. Wake up, damn it!”
Louis was not dead but merely riddled with gun wounds that left him in excruciating pain. The bullets nailed him in his bones and he was soaked in sweat.
“Kill… kill me…”
“Relax. Even if you do not beg me to, I will still kill you.” The young kid smiled elegantly and fired another shot into his thigh. He was going to, in an act of mercy, spare him so that he could enjoy the suffering.
“Daddy, Mommy, your turn.” The young kid waved the gun in his hand. Cheng Anya shook her head. While she wished for Louis to die, it seemed that seeing the young kid vent and Louis in this state left her feeling extremely pitiful for him. Forget it.
Louis was not going to survive anyway.
“Your call then.” Third Young Master Ye smiled. As long as one had love, the hatred would be reduced. While he hated Louis, seeing him curled up in a corner pitifully was sufficient.
His son alone was more than enough to make Louis’ life a living hell.
Besides, today was his wedding day. To kill on his wedding day would undoubtedly ruin his joy.
The young kid, in his typical agility, pointed the gun at Louis. “If my daddy does not pull the trigger, I will kill him.”
“Hang on. We are not too far from where the sharks are,” Third Young Master Ye suddenly said. Since they were already in open waters, they were not far from where the sharks lurked. He suddenly had a good idea and said, “Ning Ning, drop him into the sea once we reach there. Since we have to eventually dispose of him, he would not feel a thing if he were dead. Disposing of him while he is still alive would allow him to savor the feeling of being ripped apart by sharks.”
Ye Wei gave a thumbs-up and said, “Brother, that’s utterly badass!”
Cheng Anya shuddered. She suddenly felt that letting her son go for training was miles better than him hanging around Third Young Master Ye. The man was too twisted. She suddenly felt a tinge of sadness for Louis.
“That’s a good idea.” The young kid agreed.
“No! No, no…” Louis screamed madly, only for Black Eagle to stop him when he tried to commit suicide. A few sharks appeared and he was soon thrown overboard. The sharks smelled the blood on Louis and swarmed upon him. Before Louis could react, he was ripped apart alive by sharks.
Cheng Anya could not bear to see the extremely cruel scene and buried her head in Third Young Master Ye’s embrace.
Not much longer later, the surface of the sea became calm save the broken pieces of clothes that remained after the sharks’ savage ripping. The blood on the sea also gradually disappeared.
