Mo Jue looked on as Ye Wei disappeared in front of him and his eyes darkened. It was difficult to guess his emotion as he looked cold and somewhat ruthless and tough.
At the second level of the mansion under the lotus light, Eleven’s gaze was sharp and cold, as if blaming him for hurting Ye Wei. She went into the mansion without saying anything, and he was left with the dim lights coming from the lotus light. The mansion seemed especially quiet on the vast beach.
He coldly curled up the corners of his lips and stood on the beach like the most ruthless devil. He had black hair, purple eyes, and was filled with evil tendencies. He then left indifferently.
A tall man wearing black clothes walked out from the forest behind him. He was wearing a silver mask that covered half his face, showing only his black eyes and slightly curled thin lips. The silver mask almost covered half of his face and his appearance could not be seen clearly. But it could be felt from his black eyes that he was someone extremely calm. He was Silver Face, the third killer on the international board two years ago. It was rumored that he was as skilled as them.
He looked at the mansion and then the direction that Mo Jue left in and curled his lips slightly. He did not stay for long on the beach and left soon after. The wind was blowing and waves soaring on the beach before everything became calm again.
The night went by quickly and it was very quiet. Ye Wei and Eleven kept thinking that something would happen later in the night and it would not pass by so easily. But weirdly, nothing happened and both of them felt strange.
They knew Silver Face’s working style and he would not stand at a place and not do anything out of the blue. Ye Wei and Eleven could not come to any conclusion, so they followed their initial plan of packing up and leaving City A.
“Why do you think Silver Face did not do anything yesterday?” Eleven was puzzled on the way to the airport and her fingers kept tapping on the steering wheel. “What’s happening now? Did he have a sudden change of mind?”
“I don’t know.” Ye Wei smiled faintly as she leaned against the seat to rest. Her phone suddenly vibrated and there was a message. She opened the message and frowned slightly. Was this Mo Jue’s number? Her face darkened and she said faintly, “The phone which can be connected globally is really convenient as we can be contacted no matter where we are. Should I suggest Chu Li to use our own satellite to send messages?”
“Then, we can only send messages within our own people. This thing is still useful.” Eleven looked at her face and knew that it was sent by Mo Jue. If not, Ye Wei would not say such a thing. “Take a look at it. Don’t tell me you don’t even have the courage to look at a message?”
“You must be joking. I’m guessing what he has got to say.” Ye Wei smiled and did not care. She looked out of the window to see the sceneries that were flashing past. She felt pain in her heart. She looked back and opened the message.
‘Wei Wei, do you believe me?’
It was a short six words, but it was like a heavy hammer smashing on Ye Wei’s strong heart and her heart cracked. Ye Wei’s hand that was holding on to the phone suddenly tightened and her slender fingers trembled.
She imagined Mo Jue’s expression when he typed this. What kind of emotions did he have when he sent this? Did he felt uneasy? Did he panic? Did he wait in anticipation? Or did he not care and just wanted to confirm something?
Ye Wei dumbly stared at these six words for a long time and her heart was in pain. Ever since her heart knew how to be in pain, she seemed to be in love with such a feeling. Sometimes, it was so painful that she could not control it. She hated such feeling but there was nothing she could do. She could not possibly dig out her heart.
She always hated being out of control.
Ye Wei thought of the scene at the beach yesterday night. Mo Jue’s ruthlessness and avoiding her made her mind messy. She did not have any thoughts and wanted to believe him, but she knew that she should not believe him.
What should she believe him about? He asked in a general manner. Did he mean believing that he had no intention to harm her or that he did not reach an agreement with Silver Face? No, she did not believe any of this. She knew what he was up to, so why would she believe him?
Eleven saw that her face was pale and asked in a concerned manner, “Wei Wei, what happened? What did he say?”
“He asked if I believe in him.”
“Believe what?”
“If he asked this way, he probably meant everything,” Ye Wei said softly. Her tone sounded stiff and she could not hide the sneer between her eyebrows. “Do you think he can be trusted?”
Eleven was speechless and puzzled too. Why would Mo Jue ask such a question? It was so obvious… This question was difficult to answer even for her. She felt bad looking at Ye Wei’s expression.
“If Mo Ye asked me, I would definitely say that I don’t believe him,” Eleven said coldly.
She had just finished her words and Ye Wei already said that she did not believe him. Eleven saw Ye Wei’s action and said calmly, “You really don’t believe him?”
“It is not important whether I believe him or not. We will never be together,” Ye Wei said as she smiled lightly. “Do you think the Mo brothers will give up the chance to be number one?”
“Won’t!”
“That’s right. We will be enemies forever and we’ll never know who will die in whose hands. We might even die together. It’s better if we keep things clear as it is difficult to be in the grey area,” Ye Wei said calmly.
Eleven smiled. “Wei Wei, I regret coming to City A with you.”
“Why?”
“If we didn’t come, then Ye Wei would still be the arrogant and dashing Ye Wei in the past without anything to bind you. Also, if you didn’t come, you would not have met him,” Eleven said.
“I don’t regret coming because I’ve found my brother. In the past, I only had you all as family, but now, I have third brother and his family. This trip is worth it,” Ye Wei said as she played with the phone in her hand, smiling in an unbridled manner. “Other than loving Mo Jue, Ye Wei is still Ye Wei.”
Eleven smiled but did not say anything. Ye Wei looked at her phone and there was no notification. She knew that Mo Jue would not reply to her. This answer and reply made the line between them clear. Neither of them would long for anything more and it was the best ending.
“Let’s not talk about me. What about you?” Ye Wei asked her.
“You mean Mo Ye?”
“If not, who else?” Ye Wei said with an unpleasant tone. “Could it be that the two of us have fallen into the brothers’ hands?”
“That’s you, not me. I am myself, Mo Ye is Mo Ye.” Eleven raised her hand to show her innocence. “If Mo Jue was serious about you, then he must be a rare gem. He was very devoted to you and it’s alright for you to like him. As for Mo Ye, what has he done? All he did was to calculate us. He was not sincere at all. I am a bystander and I can tell that Mo Jue was not all fake. But Mo Ye was not real at all.”
“Who cares about real or fake. I will take it as they are all fake. I will never do something that is hopeless and we are past the age where we are passionate and like challenges.” Ye Wei smiled and she inched closer. She asked in an ambiguous tone. “Has Big Boss Mo kissed you?”
“No!”
“Really?”
“Really didn’t!”
Ye Wei laughed hysterically. “Eleven, I feel sorry for you. You are already so old, yet you don’t know what it feels like to kiss someone. Do you want me to provide it to you for free? Don’t worry. My kissing skill is good.”
“Scram!” Eleven laughed too.
The two of them had a good laugh as they reached the Ye family’s private helipad which had two planes. The two of them saw Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya once they came out of the car. Cheng Anya waved at them and they waved back.
“Brother, sister-in-law, why haven’t you left?”
Cheng Anya smiled. “We went to see Ning Ning in the morning before coming here, so we’ve just reached this place and happen to see your plane here too. Didn’t you guys decide to leave tomorrow? Are you guys leaving today too?”
“Yes, we have nothing else to do even if we stay anyway.” Ye Wei smiled
Third Young Master Ye crossed his arms and looked at the two of them. He laughed, askance. “The two of you did the firearms case yesterday night, right? Fourth Young Master Tang was there and he saw two women, so I guessed it must have been the two of you.”
Nobody else could react so quickly other than them. Ye Wei smiled. “We practiced our skills and left so that Mister Brown will not chase after us. This is so tiring. He has been trying to catch us for more than a year.”
Third Young Master Ye did not ask why since this was the internal matter of terrorist organization and he should not ask too much. They stood there and chatted for a while. Ye Wei suddenly asked, “Third sister-in-law, how is Ning Ning doing at the Zhang family?”
“Good. Everyone in the Zhang family loves him. Nobody can beat Ning Ning when it comes to making someone happy. He made Commander Zhang so happy and they are now living like a family. They sure cultivated feelings quickly.” Cheng Anya was relieved as she thought of how harmonious it was at the Zhang family’s place. Although he could not replace Zhang Bo’s position in the Zhang family members’ hearts, he could bring them laughter and happiness in place of Zhang Bo and that was enough.
“That’s good. Brother, third sister-in-law, contact me if you have anything on. Call this phone number and I will pick up.” Ye Wei reminded them again before sending Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya on the plane to France.
Before leaving, Cheng Anya hugged Ye Wei and Eleven then smiled and boarded the plane while waving goodbye.
The plane flew off after a while. Ye Wei looked up and blocked the dazzling sunlight. She smiled faintly. “Every cloud has a silver lining. I really envy them that they can finally live happily ever after.”
“It’s still early. Their child is still a problem.” Eleven smiled faintly as they boarded their plane. The pilot greeted them before going back to the front. There were only five people on the plane.
Ye Wei lied on the sofa and slept after she boarded the plane. Eleven knew that she did not sleep last night, so she did not disturb Ye Wei so that she could have a good rest. There was still a long way to go before reaching London and they had plenty of time to sleep.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. Ye Wei was sleepy but she became more energetic now and opened the message.
‘Do not go easy on me the next time we meet. If not, you will regret it!’
She could imagine his ruthless expression when he typed this. He must be more vicious now and seemed like he had gritted his teeth. It was not difficult to type these few words and it had already been more than half an hour since she sent him the message.
What was he thinking about for such a long time? What stopped him and made him reply so late?
She smiled and switched off her phone before lying down comfortably to sleep. She was not going to care anymore. It did not concern her anyway.
Her heart had fallen in love with pain, but there would be a day where she would kick this addiction off.
The plane set off and flew steadily in the air as she went to sleep. Eleven read the magazine and felt tired after a while. Ye Wei did not sleep yesterday night and neither did Eleven. They had been tense for the past few days and she also felt like sleeping as the plane flew steadily.
She covered Ye Wei with a blanket and went to sleep.
After flying for more than ten hours, it was already three in the afternoon when they reached London. Ye Wei and Eleven then woke up. They had a good sleep. London’s weather looked gloomy and it was different from the sunny weather in City A. Luckily, they were used to flying all over the world and they did not have any jet lag or any issue with the weather. It was just that such weather made people want to sleep.
Chu Li had long gotten the news that they were coming back and Chu Li, Bai Ye and the rest were already waiting in the palace. Chu Li, Jason, Black J, and Bai Ye were all there and they looked very eye-catching as they were all handsome men.
“Little Iron, come help me carry my luggage.” Ye Wei waved her hands once she got out of the plane and shouted happily. Black J’s blue-grey eyes seemed like he was smiling as he ordered people to bring their luggage to their rooms.
“Little Iron, are you discriminating based on gender again? I have never seen you helping me carry my luggage whenever I’m back.” Jason spat fire as he tugged onto the back of Black J’s collar. Bai Ye chuckled and Black J faintly said, “We came here together.”
Chu Li asked them to go inside. Ye Wei looked around and asked, “Where’s Ross and Commander?”
Chu Li smiled. “Ross had something urgent going on and went to see her majesty. As for Commander…”
Bai Ye touched his nose. “They said that officials and bandits do not belong together. Therefore, they did not ask Commander to come.”
“You guys are too mean. Commander must be sad if he knew.” Ye Wei acted like she was crying and wiped away two drops of tears.
Black J said, “We’ve told Commander about this, but he has no time to come to England since he has been busy with cases.”
“Oh…”
They chatted and laughed as they went into the hall. A beautiful long-haired lady was waiting for them in the hall. She saw Ye Wei and Eleven and politely greeted them. Ye Wei stopped smiling, and Eleven, who was always cold, only acknowledged her silently.
“Little Ying, what are you doing here?” Chu Li asked gently, his cold eyebrows becoming gentler. “You have not recovered yet. You should go back and rest.”
Fang Ying smiled gently. “I have not seen Wei Wei and Eleven in so long, so I’m here to greet them.”
Chu Li looked at Ye Wei and Eleven, asking them to reply. Eleven was drinking tea and Ye Wei was eating some snacks. Bai Ye looked down and Black J asked Ye Wei if she wanted to eat some walnuts. Ye Wei said she did and he started to open the nuts for her.
Black J and Jason were smart to crack the walnuts and did not say anything.
Chu Li frowned as he was put in an awkward situation. Ye Wei suddenly raised her voice and asked, “Scheming Chu, where is your Yan Yan? I really miss her food and snacks.”
Ye Wei emphasized on ‘your Yan Yan’, these three words, and Fang Ying’s face went pale. Chu Li’s face became cold.
