Chapter 344: Untitled
As Mo Jue brought Ye Wei onto the island, Xu Nuo ordered men to prepare the fastest plane on the island.
The piece of jade contained a tracking signal that Mo Jue designed. Xu Nuo was always concerned about where the young kid would end up. As Ye Wei did not sound the kindest out of fear that Ning Ning was in danger, she suggested taking off first to reduce the time searching. Since Ye Wei was also urgently looking for the young kid, Eleven was in charge of piloting whilst Mo Jue helped to search.
Xu Nuo was only able to simply determine that Ning Ning was moving and needed him to be stationary before she could confirm his position. With Mo Jue, things were slightly different as his skills were powerful to the point he was able to quickly provide Ning Ning’s exact latitude and longitude.
While the young kid was still moving over the Atlantic, the location was confirmed after twenty-five hours in the air—he was on another island in the Atlantic Ocean. Xu Nuo had a little impression of the island, and Mo Jue looked up information on the island, which suggested it was a private island where the Mafia imprisoned their prisoners.
The prisoners in question were slightly special as not all of the Mafia’s prisoners were imprisoned here. Said prisoners were hardy and tough people who would not divulge the secrets of the organizations they belonged to. They would be shipped here and brutally tortured but not to the point of death.
Some were imprisoned there for a lifetime without seeing daylight and passed their days in a haze. Some could not endure the torture and yielded but chose to commit suicide as they did not want to betray their masters.
These were some of the biggest secrets within the Mafia.
As the plane moved, they were still over the Atlantic Ocean.
The island was extremely large and there were insufficient, albeit elite, troops. Ye Wei had Mo Jue look up troop deployments on the island. As the island was too large, there were many blind spots that were not guarded at all.
“Marshmallow, pull out the map of the entire island,” Ye Wei said. As the plane flew over, Mo Jue used the computer to take a photo of the island whilst Ye Wei took a clear look at them.
Defenses, major bases, and troop deployments were as clear as day. To prevent arousing suspicion, Eleven did not dare to linger around for too long and flew overhead instead. Ye Wei was slightly frustrated and said, “If only Ning Ning were here, we would be able to use our organization’s satellite for reconnaissance.”
Eleven agreed. As their skills were limited, they still did not trust Marshmallow, who seemed to be as dumb as an idiot, with secrets about their organization.
They could never be too careful.
“Dear, I can give you whatever information you want,” Mo Jue said with innocence in his clear purple eyes that resembled those of a child. There was no deception, just pure innocence.
Like a child who wanted the toughest mission to prove to the person he liked how capable he was, Mo Jue’s mental age had become much younger. His mentality and perception had not degraded.
“Be a good boy and find the nearest islands—inhabited islands, to be precise,” Ye Wei said. As the helicopter could not brazenly land on the island, they could only find the nearest inhabited island and get on said island by boat.
Mo Jue easily agreed and pouted his tender lips. “Wifey, kiss me first.”
Ye Wei wanted to kick this white yet scheming pig into the ocean as he undoubtedly took advantage of her once too many. As Mo Jue was, however, extremely useful for now, given how he could kill and attack, and was capable, kissing him did not feel as bad and Ye Wei decided not to express her feelings for now.
She kissed Mo Jue hard on his cheeks and Mo Jue was satisfied. “Wifey, you sure treat me extremely well.”
As he got down to work, Ye Wei’s lips twitched. She turned around to see Xu Nuo coldly looking at her. A gorgeous smile bloomed on her face as she said, “Little Xu Nuo, you are definitely Eleven’s sister.”
Xu Nuo looked at her and said, “How did my second brother become like this?”
“I swear that I really do not know,” Ye Wei said innocently without looking guilty. She definitely would not tell Xu Nuo that it was a result of her hitting him. That would damage her reputation. For all one knew, that lass would just gun her down.
“Hey, Little Xu Nuo, you are pretty concerned about my Ning Ning, huh?” Ye Wei sat next to her and put her hands on her shoulders in a friendly manner as she smiled somewhat teasingly. “Come, tell auntie whether you have taken a liking to my Ning Ning.”
As waiting was boring, having some fun with this little ice cube was a kind of fun as well.
“F*** off!” Xu Nuo coldly said and tried to push her hand away. Given who Ye Wei was, she quickly avoided and then put her arm around her shoulders. Xu Nuo’s little face was visibly displeased.
Mo Jue turned back and smiled innocently. “Nuo Nuo, do not be rude.”
Ye Wei praised him and Xu Nuo was indeed extremely obedient toward Mo Jue however he became. She obeyed him to the T and quietly tolerated Ye Wei touching her without saying a word.
As it wasn’t in Ye Wei to not exploit such a huge backstop, she asked Xu Nuo,” Little Xu Nuo, you still have not answered my question. Your second brother reminds you to be polite.”
Xu Nuo coldly looked at him and said, “No!” without looking any different.
“You didn’t take a liking to that chap, huh? What bad taste you have to ignore such an excellent person in front of you.” Ye Wei sounded a little regretful and smiled gorgeously. “So, if you are indeed rivals, why do you care about my Ning Ning when you do not even take a liking to him?”
“What business of yours is that?” Xu Nuo sounded calm. Her young and somewhat tender voice did not compromise her aura, and Ye Wei was secretly amazed at how this child was no simple character.
Louis was extremely capable for having such people under his wings.
“How is that unrelated?” Ye Wei laughed and could not help but pinch Xu Nuo’s delicate cheeks. Xu Nuo tried to freeze her to death by giving her a cold stare, but Ye Wei, like a seasoned devil, was unfazed by her. Ye Wei laughed easily and said, “Dear little lass, please do not contradict yourself. You must know that I am Ning Ning’s auntie, and for all you know, you might have to ask me for a favor or two in the future. Be nice and call me auntie, hehe. I could put in a good word or two for you, you know? When you take a liking to somebody, be sure to please their family. You’re still young, so let auntie teach you a few moves on the house.”
Xu Nuo looked at Ye Wei expressionlessly. Ye Wei felt that this little girl’s stone-face was quite intimidating. While she looked pretty good—extremely beautiful actually—she and Ning Ning next to each other would make for a golden couple. That said, what was with her temper?
As her Ning Ning was no saint, Ye Wei felt that ice cubes went well with scheming people.
“No need!” Xu Nuo coldly replied albeit expressionlessly. Ye Wei felt that it was a wasted opportunity as she resembled Eleven in her youth. Since she had managed to tame Eleven, how could she be unable to tame Xu Nuo?
Experience was extremely useful.
“Are you sure you really do not need it?” Ye Wei looked around and laughed easily. “Please do not regret it as my Ning Ning is as popular as hotcakes.”
Xu Nuo suddenly laughed, and Ye Wei felt a slight terror. She was wrong. It was not an ice cube with Mister Scheming, but Mister Scheming with Miss Scheming—both of them on par with each other. This child’s laughter was nothing short of dark.
“He would not dare!” Xu Nuo decisively replied with a smile. “That said, save your effort.”
“What could darling Ning Ning not dare to do? Don’t joke with me.” Ye Wei did not believe it as her impression of Ning Ning was long set. Given how badass he was, how could he not dare to do anything?
“Here I go then.” Xu Nuo decided to make it clear. “Unless he behaves like Stone, I do not want him.”
Ye Wei was at a loss for words.
She looked at Xu Nuo from top to bottom. Apart from her slightly good looks, there was nothing attractive about her. She felt that Ning Ning would take a liking to somebody like Cheng Anya.
And not someone who was scheming yet cold like an ice block.
“If you do not believe me, so be it,” Xu Nuo gently replied as she looked out of the window. The blue ocean met the sky, making for extremely beautiful scenery. Xu Nuo clenched her fists slightly.
Mo Jue found the nearest inhabited island which was not too far off. Once the plane landed, Ye Wei, Eleven, and all went to gather information about the happenings in the surrounding islands.
Luckily for them, they gathered some information. The few inhabited islands in the area were densely populated and bustling with life. The islands interacted with one another at a high frequency, and Ye Wei learned that people from that island would come over to buy supplies and whatnot from time to time.
Since today happened to be the day they would come over, Ye Wei and Eleven immediately formulated a battle plan.
“Why can’t I come along?!” Xu Nuo gave Ye Wei a razor-sharp deadly stare when she learned that she had no part in the action. She was so angry to the point Mo Jue’s comforting was of no use.
“It’s not about not letting you go, but you stand out. Little Xu Nuo, there are many dangers on the island…”
“Enough of that. Are you trying to tell me that I will slow you down?” Xu Nuo flatly replied as a storm was about to appear on her face.
“Why are you so damn stubborn?” Ye Wei sighed. “I dare to call you out on your inexperience as the other three of us are battle-hardened. What about yourself then? Based on your age, I am guessing that you are only three years into your training. Even if you are capable, there is only so much you can do. For all you know, my nephew may really fancy you and I will not let you take that risk.”
“I want to go!” Xu Nuo’s face darkened as she ignored what Ye Wei said.
Ye Wei grabbed Mo Jue and said, “Here, darling! Please settle this sister of yours!”
Mo Jue pouted reluctantly and said, “Wifey… I… Just let Nuo Nuo go. If wifey is in danger one day, I will save wifey…”
“Second brother, what are you saying?” Xu Nuo’s cheeks were slightly red as she could not help but flatly reply.
Mo Jue, who was extremely at a loss, asked in return, “Is second brother wrong?”
Ye Wei broke into laughter. ‘Oh, Marshmallow, oh, Marshmallow, you sure are as dumb as I make you out to be. Seeing Xu Nuo this embarrassed makes my day too.’
